"Oh, right, besides all this, I also brought a cameraman. I definitely need to record such precious footage!"
Wang Xiao grinned widely, laughing triumphantly. Suddenly, as if struck by an idea, he pointed to the high-definition camera not far away.
Marrying the woman he loved most with Er Zhu's money – there was nothing more satisfying in this world!
The more Wang Xiao thought about it, the more excited he became. He could barely wait!
"Hmm, it is indeed necessary to record it," Er Zhu nodded slightly, glancing at Wang Xiao, who was almost doubled over with laughter, and said meaningfully.
"You guys film it well for me. Make sure to get the front and side views completely, then upload it directly to all the major websites!"
Wang Xiao thought Er Zhu hadn't quite grasped the situation. He burst into a chuckle and then shouted loudly at the cameraman again.
The cameraman took a step forward, found a suitable position, and began adjusting the equipment.
"Tsk, Xiao Mei, why haven't you changed yet?"
After instructing the cameraman, Wang Xiao finally noticed Wang Xiao Mei standing behind Er Zhu. Seeing that she was still wearing her usual clothes, Wang Xiao's smile instantly vanished.
"Why should I change? The results haven't been announced yet, and Er Zhu hasn't lost. Besides, when did I ever say I would marry you?"
Seeing that Wang Xiao had noticed her, Wang Xiao Mei no longer tried to hide. She stepped forward and retorted angrily.
"Tsk, isn't this a foregone conclusion? Do we need such a formal announcement?"
"You haven't agreed, but Great Grandpa and Great Grandma have! It's too late to go back on your word now!"
As Wang Xiao spoke, he reached out to pull Wang Xiao Mei away. Er Zhu grabbed his wrist, and Wang Xiao cried out in pain. At the same moment, the sound of gongs and drums stopped.
"Even if it's a foregone conclusion, it still needs a formal announcement. After all, this is a bet!"
Wang Xiao was about to speak when he heard Er Zhu's icy words. Wang Xiao wanted to retort, but the pain in his wrist made him dare not speak.
This country bumpkin has such a strong grip!
"Fine, if you refuse to believe it until you see it, then I'll make sure you understand clearly..."
Wang Xiao struggled hard to break free from Er Zhu's grip. Before he could finish speaking, he saw his lackey, Zhao Dali, running over in a panic.
"Dali, you've come at the perfect time! Quickly announce what you found out from Shilao Village to everyone, so that certain person can give up hope!"
As Zhao Dali was about to say something, Wang Xiao interrupted him, giving him instructions while gesturing for him to face the camera.
"Film it well. The clearer, the better!"
Zhao Dali was about to speak again, but at this moment, Wang Xiao yelled at the cameraman again.
The cameraman said nothing, merely making an "OK" gesture. The camera was already focused on Zhao Dali.
"Young Master... I can't say this."
Zhao Dali clutched his phone tightly, wiped the cold sweat from his face, his eyes filled with dread.
"Tsk, what can't be said about this? Why is it so difficult to do one thing for you?"
Seeing Zhao Dali's hesitation, Wang Xiao snatched the phone from his hand. He turned the phone towards the cameraman and said triumphantly:
"Last month, I made a bet with Mr. Wang Er Zhu here. The bet is right here, and this is a photo of the traditional Chinese medicine factory going bankrupt!"
Wang Xiao cleared his throat, spoke as he took out the previous agreement, and pointed to the photo to explain.
"Young Master, it's not like that, it's..."
Zhao Dali's heart was burning with anxiety seeing Wang Xiao's happy expression, but before he could finish, Wang Xiao pushed him aside.
"How is it not like that? I saw it with my own eyes. How can it not be like this?"
Wang Xiao glared at Zhao Dali irritably, then gave him a warning look.
At the same time, Father Wang and Mother Wang, hearing the commotion outside, also came running out. Mother Wang, in particular, was as obsequious as could be!
"Shameless!"
Old Mrs. Wang, who had been largely silent, glared fiercely at Mother Wang. She walked towards Er Zhu and gently patted his shoulder.
"It's alright, Er Zhu. You're a capable child. Grandma believes you can definitely make a comeback!"
Looking at the picture on the phone, Grandma Wang felt heartbroken. Her eyes were slightly red.
"Er Zhu, didn't you ask me to believe in you? Then what is this?"
Just as Er Zhu was about to speak, Wang Xiao Mei, standing nearby, raised her small fists, hitting him while crying heartbrokenly.
Just now, Er Zhu had told her not to worry, but now that he had lost, how could she not worry!
Thinking of Er Zhu going bankrupt and her having to marry that useless good-for-nothing fop, Wang Xiao Mei felt like dying.
"Er Zhu, you lost. You must keep your promise."
Before Er Zhu could open his mouth, Wang Xiao arrogantly extended his hand, his eyes almost disappearing with laughter.
"Who told you the traditional Chinese medicine factory went bankrupt? Look clearly!"
Er Zhu snatched the phone from Wang Xiao's hand. He zoomed in on the picture, and on the large iron gate of the traditional Chinese medicine factory, a notice was clearly displayed:
"This is the truth!"
Er Zhu held the phone up to the cameraman. The cameraman adjusted his lens and began filming furiously.
"You bastard, why did you snatch my phone?"
Wang Xiao recovered from his shock and snatched the phone back from Er Zhu. Just as he was about to continue his curses, he froze upon seeing the photo:
"Due to the expansion of the traditional Chinese medicine factory, all employees will be on leave for one month!"
Upon seeing this, Wang Xiao's face instantly darkened. He shook his head gently, unable to believe it.
He had looked at this photo several times back then, yet he had never noticed that tiny white dot!
The traditional Chinese medicine factory not only hadn't gone bankrupt but was undergoing expansion!
The batch of products was made with inferior medicinal herbs, and instead of ruining their reputation, they were expanding!
Wang Xiao refused to believe this fact. He kept shaking his head, his mind completely blank!
Father Wang and Mother Wang, seeing Wang Xiao's abnormal behavior, were very confused. As they were wondering, Er Zhu spoke again slowly:
"I believe everyone has seen it clearly. Our traditional Chinese medicine factory has not gone bankrupt; it is expanding!"
"As for that batch of inferior Chinese medicinal herbs, we have never used them!"
Er Zhu tidied his clothes and added.
Boom!
Er Zhu's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing into Wang Xiao's heart. His eyes were filled with shock!
"Impossible, the freight boss clearly sent me photos!"
Wang Xiao shouted loudly as he dialed Shi Changshan's number. However, when he tried to call, the number had already become a dead line!
Wang Xiao was completely stunned. The excited and thrilled feeling in his heart instantly plummeted to the bottom. He felt his blood run cold!
"Shi Changshan, you son of a bitch!"
Wang Xiao roared in anger, and the phone flew from his hand, shattering on the ground, just like his heart!
