"Wang Dongdong, if you don't pay up, I'll kill you. I mean it. Don't think I don't know your background. Believe it or not, I'll send your sister off to be sold?"
Wang Dongdong shivered and said with a fawning smile, "Brother Hei Pi, please be merciful, give me a few more days. I'll definitely pay you back in a few days, definitely..."
With Wang Dongdong's repeated assurances, Hei Pi finally said fiercely, "Alright, I'll give you three more days. If you still can't repay the money after three days, I'll do what I say."
After speaking, Brother Hei Pi hung up the phone.
Wang Dongdong clutched his phone, a bitter smile on his face, full of worry.
Three days!
Where was he going to get a hundred thousand?
Thinking of this, he felt a headache coming on, yet he had no solution.
"Damn it, I'll deal with it when the time comes. For now, I'll go have some fun..."
Wang Dongdong left alone and dived into a bar.
...
"That Wang Dongdong, he's gone out messing around again?"
When Wang Tingting returned, she searched the villa for him but couldn't find him. She cursed him with a look of exasperation.
Returning to the living room, her gaze fell on Chen Fan, who was reading a book on the sofa. She called out, "Hey, you surnamed Chen, do you know where that good-for-nothing Wang Dongdong ran off to?"
"This isn't a kindergarten here," Chen Fan replied indifferently.
Hearing this, Wang Tingting's face immediately turned displeased. "Hmph, what's so smug about you?"
Chen Fan ignored her and continued reading his book.
Wang Tingting pouted and said, "Do you think you're much better than Wang Dongdong? You're doing nothing all day either, no proper job?"
Chen Fan's face twitched. He couldn't be bothered.
Just as she was speaking, the door opened, and Su Yingxue returned from work.
"Axue, how was your first day at work?"
Wang Tingting greeted her with a beaming smile.
Chen Fan's gaze was also unconsciously drawn, and he looked towards Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue changed her shoes, glanced at Chen Fan, and immediately lowered her gaze.
However, her face was still filled with a happy and joyful smile. She took Wang Tingting's hand and said, "It felt great. My first day was just about getting familiar with the company and understanding the specific work of each department, but I felt great. My superiors also value me highly, saying my design concepts align well with the company."
"I knew you could do it!"
Wang Tingting said happily, "You are the best, unlike some unemployed loafers who have no career and no friends, yet carry themselves with such arrogance!"
As she spoke, she also intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Chen Fan.
"Tingting, don't talk nonsense," Su Yingxue said, knowing full well Wang Tingting was taking a jab at Chen Fan.
"Axue, you really don't know how excellent you are."
Wang Tingting said, "In terms of looks, even TV stars might not be able to compare to you. Your personality is kind and gentle, and your academic performance in school was excellent. If it weren't for the machinations of some scoundrels, how could some toads have had a chance?"
Chen Fan's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but look at Wang Tingting more closely.
Although Wang Tingting always seemed a bit off, setting aside the last sentence, what she said wasn't bad.
"Tingting, if you talk nonsense again, I won't talk to you!"
Su Yingxue gave Chen Fan an apologetic look and chided her.
"Alright, alright, I won't say it anymore."
Wang Tingting said, "What I mean is, Axue, be more confident. Your qualities are a hundred times better than that Su Yingxia from the Su family. The man who marries you in the future will have accumulated blessings for lifetimes."
Chen Fan couldn't help but smile slightly.
This was also why he had been tolerating Wang Tingting. Although this woman was annoying, she was truly devoted to Su Yingxue.
"Okay, let's go cook. Let's make something good today to celebrate finding such a good job!"
"Yes, we must celebrate!" Wang Tingting also said excitedly, "Starting at a salary of eight thousand a month with various benefits. I'll have to rely on you in the future."
...
Meanwhile, in the garden villa.
"Aunt, what did you say? Su Yingxue got a job at Huancai Apparel?"
Su Yingxia held the phone, looking surprised.
"Isn't it?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Yufang's angry voice came through.
"That little bitch who betrayed us actually applied to our biggest competitor. It makes me so angry. This bitch shouldn't be named Su."
Su Yingxia was also both angry and resentful.
The Su family was originally in the apparel industry. In their most glorious days, the clothing styles designed and produced by the Su family were very popular, and several of their brands were highly sought after by the market.
However, those were all in the past.
Since a few years ago, the apparel produced by the Su family's factory began to sell poorly.
After the death of Old Master Su, the Su family's industry declined further.
Now, the Su family's factory was almost defunct, and they had to do OEM for some brands to survive.
Because the Su family was in this industry, both Su Yingxia and Su Yingxue majored in fashion design.
Based on her understanding of Su Yingxue, she was indeed very talented in this area, and might even become a threat to the Su family in the future.
The Su family had always targeted Su Yingxue and her son for this reason, although it was a minor factor.
"No, we absolutely cannot let that little bitch have it easy. We must find a way to get her job terminated!"
Su Yufang said resentfully, "Yingxia, hurry and ask Shaolong to think of a solution. Doesn't his family have a lot of influence? Have him contact the high-level executives at Huancai and get Su Yingxue fired!"
Su Yingxia hesitated upon hearing this.
Finding Jiang Shaolong for something like this might not work.
Moreover, always relying on Jiang Shaolong for every big and small matter felt inappropriate to her. Sometimes, she could sense Jiang Shaolong's dislike and even dissatisfaction with the Su family.
"No need to ask Shaolong to pull strings, Aunt. I have a way to deal with this!"
Su Yingxia considered for a moment, thought of a suitable person, and said, "I know someone at Huancai. Spending some money should be able to sort it out."
"That would be great!"
Su Yufang exclaimed joyfully, "Yingxia, you're truly capable. The Su family will have to rely on you in the future. Aunt will await your good news!"
"Don't worry, Aunt. Su Yingxia is just a newly hired employee. It shouldn't be difficult to sabotage her job. At the very least, we can make her time at Huancai unpleasant!"
