"Cousin-in-law, why are you hitting me? I asked you to teach him a lesson!"
Mu Xiao covered her slightly reddened cheek, looking at Liu Changfa in disbelief and shouting.
"Teach him a lesson for what? Don't think just because you're my cousin, you can do whatever you want!"
Liu Changfa was so angry his face turned green. He looked at the arrogant Mu Xiao and raised his hand again as he spoke.
He had originally come to see how Mu Xiao's interview went, but he didn't expect to witness this scene!
If it weren't for Er Zhu, how could he have achieved such great results!
This fool was infuriating!
"Cousin-in-law, you..."
Mu Xiao didn't expect Liu Changfa to say that. She looked at his raised hand, her eyes full of anger!
"Apologize!"
*Slap!*
Another loud slap. Mu Xiao's other cheek also turned red and visibly swelled!
Mu Xiao's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't understand why.
"Liu Changfa, you just wait!"
Endless rage was about to shatter Mu Xiao's reason. She shouted and dialed Liu Changfa's wife's number.
"I'll have my cousin divorce you, you scumbag!"
Mu Xiao shouted at Liu Changfa while holding the phone to her ear.
She had thought Liu Changfa would back her up, but she never expected him to be on the side of this bumpkin!
It was simply detestable!
The more Mu Xiao thought about it, the more indignant she became. The moment the call connected, she angrily began to complain.
Liu Changfa couldn't be bothered with her. He walked over to Er Zhu with a fawning smile and bowed respectfully.
"I'm sorry, Er Zhu. Mu Xiao is new to the working world and can be a bit arrogant."
Liu Changfa apologized while observing Er Zhu's expression, trying to gauge his mood. Unfortunately, he couldn't discern anything.
"Mu Xiao finds our humble establishment too small to accommodate her esteemed presence."
Er Zhu remained silent, but Lin Quan, standing beside him, spoke up indignantly.
Er Zhu might have been too embarrassed to speak due to Liu Changfa's presence, but Lin Quan wouldn't hold back!
He thought he was doing a favor for an intellectual beauty, but it turned out to be a shrew with eyes that looked down on people!
"I'm sorry, General Manager Lin. This girl is just a loose-tongued brat. Please don't mind her."
Seeing Lin Quan's face darken to the extreme, Liu Changfa turned and apologized to him again.
What nonsense was this Mu Xiao spouting? Was she trying to get him fired?
Liu Changfa shot Mu Xiao a fierce glare. Just then, a woman's furious voice came from his phone.
"Mu Xiao, I'm telling you, if you don't apologize to Er Zhu, don't acknowledge me as your cousin anymore!"
"He's a talented young man, rare in this town. Your cousin-in-law tries his best to please him, and look at the nonsense you're spouting!"
The woman cursed furiously, but Mu Xiao seemed not to hear a word, standing there dumbfounded.
This Chinese medicine factory was the largest and most advanced factory in town!
And Er Zhu was the village head of Shiliu Village!
Er Zhu owned several factories, with an estimated net worth of tens of millions!
These explosive pieces of information struck Mu Xiao like bombs, leaving her dizzy!
She never imagined that the expressionless country bumpkin was so capable!
"Mu Xiao, you are a f***ing idiot!"
Finally, after the woman finished her tirade, she hung up. Listening to the dial tone from her phone, Mu Xiao gave a self-mocking laugh.
Her cousin was right, wasn't she just an idiot?
"I'm sorry, it was all my fault just now. Please let me stay!"
Just as Liu Changfa was about to urge Mu Xiao to apologize again, she bowed respectfully with a deep bow, her eyes full of sincerity.
"If you let me stay, I will do my utmost to help the factory develop better, and I'll only ask for half my salary!"
Seeing Er Zhu remain silent, Mu Xiao lowered her head even further, her eyes filled with regret.
Thinking of everything that had just happened, Mu Xiao wished she could slap herself twice!
As a master's graduate, how could she have been so foolish!
*Slap! Slap!*
The more Mu Xiao thought about it, the more scared and regretful she became. She fiercely slapped herself twice, and blood immediately seeped from the corner of her mouth.
"Er Zhu, Mu Xiao knows she was wrong. Please, for my sake, let her stay. General Manager Lin is also quite busy."
Seeing the blood from Mu Xiao's mouth, Liu Changfa was taken aback and quickly pleaded.
"Lin Quan, you handle the handover with her."
Seeing Liu Changfa's fawning demeanor and Mu Xiao's swollen face, Er Zhu finally let her off the hook.
As Liu Changfa said, one must consider the connections.
"Thank you, Er Zhu. I'll treat you to a drink sometime."
Hearing Er Zhu relent, Liu Changfa breathed a sigh of relief.
Er Zhu ignored him and walked past the two of them, exiting the Chinese medicine factory.
Because, something had happened at Qingya Hotel!
Someone had fainted after eating the Five-Flavor Chicken, and the hotel was in chaos!
And this was one of the reasons he didn't pursue Mu Xiao's mistake!
The Five-Flavor Chicken used medicinal herbs beneficial to the human body, so how could such a thing happen?
A flash of insight flickered in Er Zhu's eyes, and he already envisioned the situation at Qingya Hotel.
He saw a man with a ruddy complexion lying on the ground, surrounded by a dense crowd of onlookers.
Oh, so that's how it is.
The flash of insight in Er Zhu's eyes vanished. He stamped his foot, his eyes devoid of emotion.
At this moment, the lobby of Qingya Hotel was already packed. The owner, Wu Hua, watched the motionless man on the ground with extreme anxiety.
"Oh my god, someone actually died from eating the Five-Flavor Chicken!"
"This must be a greedy merchant. Who knows what additives they used for the taste!"
"And they claim this is a health-promoting medicinal dish. What a disgrace!"
...
Sarcastic and abusive remarks came from all sides. Wu Hua's face turned black with anger, but he didn't know how to explain.
"Don't talk nonsense. The medicinal formula was provided by our president. He's a famous doctor from Shiliu Village!"
Hearing the increasing taunts, Wu Hua could no longer tolerate it and shouted.
"Famous doctor? Can a famous doctor's recipe kill someone? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"Hurry and call an ambulance, his breathing is getting weaker!"
"Damn it, if President Jiang dies, I'll make all of you pay with your lives!"
At the front, a man with a slicked-back hairstyle pointed at Wu Hua and the other hotel staff, roaring.
He had invited President Jiang for dinner intending to curry favor, but he had inadvertently sent him to the gates of hell!
This was Jiang Yunsheng!
Jiang Yunsheng, who controlled half of the pharmacies in town!
The man's blood pressure instantly soared. He stumbled back several steps, almost collapsing on the spot!
The hotel staff were terrified out of their wits, some fleeing, others running, leaving the scene in utter chaos!
Just as Wu Hua was at his wit's end, Er Zhu slowly walked over.
The moment Wu Hua saw Er Zhu, he felt as if Er Zhu were a god descending from the heavens to save him!
