Seeing Er Zhu's resolute look, the crowd dared not detain him. Just as Er Zhu walked to Miao Xiaoqian's side, he suddenly stopped.
"Put away your filthy little thoughts, I'm not interested in you!"
Before Miao Xiaoqian could reply, Er Zhu strode away. Miao Xiaoqian was furious, but she could only endure it in front of her grandfather!
By the time Er Zhu returned home, it was already dark. But Li Mei hadn't cooked dinner, and she hadn't even turned on the lights!
"Er Zhu, why aren't you answering your phone? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Li Mei leaned against the wall, clutching her phone tightly, and anxiously looked towards the courtyard.
She had called Er Zhu dozens of times that day, but he hadn't answered any of them. She didn't know if he didn't want to answer or couldn't.
Li Mei frowned, suddenly remembering the photo on Er Zhu's phone that morning. With so many menacing figures wanting to kill Er Zhu, could he really come back alive?
The more Li Mei thought about it, the more worried and anxious she became. Her eyes slowly reddened, and a tear slid down her cheek.
If Er Zhu were really dead, what would be the point of her remaining in this world alone!
Li Mei gripped her phone tighter, as if she were about to crush it.
"Mei Jie!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the courtyard. Li Mei looked up and saw Er Zhu standing unharmed in the courtyard, smiling at her.
Without a moment's hesitation, Li Mei ran towards him and threw herself into his arms!
"Wuu wuu, thank God, you're finally back!"
Er Zhu was about to comfort Li Mei when he suddenly heard her sad sobs. Under the moonlight, Er Zhu saw Li Mei's tear-filled eyes, and a flicker of tenderness flashed in his gaze.
"Stop crying, I promised I wouldn't leave you."
His rough fingers brushed across Li Mei's delicate skin, sending ripples through her heart. Li Mei finally came to her senses and quietly withdrew from Er Zhu's embrace.
"You... you must be hungry, I'll go make you something to eat!"
Suppressing the stirrings in her heart, Li Mei wiped the tears from her face. Before Er Zhu could speak, she turned and walked towards the kitchen.
Good heavens, she actually threw herself into Er Zhu's arms. What had she done!
Looking at Li Mei's slender back, Er Zhu shook his head speechlessly and walked into the house.
That night, there was laughter and joy at Li Mei's house, while the major families in Willow Town were in an uproar!
Many influential figures withdrew from the business world for various reasons, and many even moved away overnight. The matter even alerted the major families in Huaibei City, yet no one knew what had happened!
In a blink of an eye, a month had passed. All the businesses were developing vigorously. Er Zhu, with nothing else to do, went to his decoration company to check on it.
Since taking over the two decoration companies, Er Zhu had merged them into one, renaming it Qingshan Decoration Company. Qingshan Decoration Company had now become one of the leading decoration companies in Huaibei Province!
Er Zhu thought as he arrived at the entrance of Qingshan Decoration Company. As soon as he entered, he was stopped by the receptionist.
"Who are you looking for, sir?" A well-figured woman glanced at Er Zhu and asked perfunctorily.
"I'm not looking for anyone, I'm just taking a look around," Er Zhu said, making up an excuse as he didn't intend to inspect the company as the boss.
"Just looking around? We are the strongest decoration company in Willow Town. Who gave you the courage to just look around?"
"You, get out now. If you disturb our business, I'll have security break your legs!"
Upon hearing this, the receptionist Liu Xiaomei exploded. As the girlfriend of the general manager of Qingshan Decoration Company, she already looked down on everyone. She had initially thought this kid was a customer, so she was being polite. To think he was just here to wander around!
The more Liu Xiaomei thought about it, the angrier she became. She glared at Er Zhu irritably. If looks could kill, Er Zhu would have died thousands of times over!
"If I don't come in and see for myself, how can I be assured of your renovation services? Is your company not allowed to be viewed?"
Er Zhu's face was expressionless, but his eyes had turned somewhat cold.
He had once instructed General Manager Li Peng to provide excellent service, but as soon as he arrived at the reception, he was met with ridicule. It seemed Li Peng was no longer going to work there!
"Were you deaf? Didn't I tell you we're the strongest decoration company in Willow Town? As the industry leader, what more do you need to be assured of? I'm telling you, if you want renovation, sign the contract quickly. If you don't, then scram. Qingshan Company isn't lacking one customer like you!"
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Liu Xiaomei swayed her slender waist and shouted. Her attitude was incredibly arrogant!
"Your name is Liu Xiaomei?" Er Zhu didn't say anything, he just glanced at the name tag on her chest and asked.
"What's it to you? In short, get out!"
Liu Xiaomei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly seemed to remember something. As she spoke, she reached out to pull Er Zhu.
"Liu Xiaomei, have Li Peng come down to see me!" Seeing that Liu Xiaomei had already made a move, Er Zhu disdainfully shook her off, his eyes growing even colder!
Ridicule was one thing, but assaulting a customer was another. Such an employee must not be kept!
"You brat, don't push your luck. What right do you have to see Li Peng?"
"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Li, quickly throw this idiot out!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaomei became even more furious. Before Er Zhu could speak, she called out to the two security guards at the door.
"Kid, scram." As soon as Liu Xiaomei finished speaking, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Li ran over. They intended to grab Er Zhu, but Er Zhu was too fast. Although the two felt something was amiss, they didn't think much of it.
"What bad luck, meeting a pauper before even opening for business. You two, hurry up and drive him away!" Liu Xiaomei crossed her arms, glanced disdainfully at Er Zhu, and then walked back to the reception desk.
Just as Xiao Zhou and Xiao Li were about to make a move, they saw Er Zhu pick up his phone. They were about to stop him, but Er Zhu's words made them furious!
"Li Peng, I'm downstairs now. Get down here immediately!"
"Damn it, where did this idiot come from!" Xiao Zhou angrily swore and rolled up his sleeves to charge forward. Xiao Li's face turned green with anger. Just as the two were about to touch Er Zhu, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses rushed down from upstairs in a panic.
"Stop right there!"
Hearing Li Peng's voice, Liu Xiaomei walked over again. She grabbed Li Peng's wrist and angrily complained:
"Li Peng, you're just in time. This pauper has been causing trouble since early this morning. You must teach him a good lesson. I can't stand people like this!"
Liu Xiaomei glared fiercely at Er Zhu, her expression incredibly arrogant!
