Ch 118: Big Boss Speaks
In the Zhi Hang Qian Li Store’s main branch, Xiang Zhihang is brewing Cooling Tea Herbal Pack. He drank cup after cup of Cooling Tea to relieve the pain of longing.
Xiang Zhihang hasn’t seen Du Qingyang for three days and misses her very much.
It’s not that he hasn’t taken the initiative to look for her, but he has, and he can’t find her. He’s been to the Du Family Home, the clothing store, and the clothing factory, but he hasn’t seen Qingyang.
Qingyang is so busy, probably because of the cheating incident.
Xiang Zhihang clenched his fists. Those who falsely accused Qingyang of cheating deserve to die!
A faint sadness and longing filled the air, lingering and not dissipating.
The store’s old employees all understood the Boss’s feelings and didn’t dare to say a word, silently doing their jobs. But a new employee wanted to engage in flattery and spoke up.
“Boss, Du Qingyang isn’t that great. She’s too strong and not gentle at all. With your handsome looks, Boss, you can definitely find a girl ten thousand times better than her.”
This new employee had been here for a week. He learned from the old employees that Xiang Zhihang liked Du Qingyang, and his current disappointment was also because of Du Qingyang.
As soon as these flattering words came out, An Wei’s heart skipped a beat. This stinky kid really doesn’t know how to spell “death.”
The old employees also cast their attention this way. No one had ever dared to say anything bad about Du Qingyang in front of the Boss; this was the first time.
Sure enough, Xiang Zhihang’s eyes darkened, and he glared at the new employee. “Who allowed you to speak ill of Qingyang?”
The new employee was stunned, and his heart skipped a beat. He didn’t say anything bad about Du Qingyang; he was just trying to belittle Du Qingyang and elevate Xiang Zhihang. Could it be that the Boss doesn’t like being flattered?
Before the new employee could explain, Xiang Zhihang called the finance person over. “Settle his wages; I don’t want to see him again tomorrow.”
What does this mean?
He’s fired?
The new employee’s face was pale, and he looked dazed, still not understanding what mistake he had made.
The old employees gasped, averted their gazes, and went back to their busy work. From then on, everyone remembered that in front of the Boss, you could say bad things about the Boss, but you must never say a single bad word about Du Qingyang.
An Wei stepped forward to pour Cooling Tea for Xiang Zhihang. Big Boss, drink a few more cups of Cooling Tea to calm your anger. An Wei only poured it for Xiang Zhihang, but not for himself. Cooling Tea is too bitter; he doesn’t like it.
What does it feel like to like someone? It’s probably that even bitter things can be imagined as sweet. Unbelievable…
“An Wei, go scare Qi Ke.” Suddenly, Xiang Zhihang instructed An Wei, looking at him.
“No problem, I’ve been looking at him with displeasure for a long time. Today, I must beat him up.” An Wei rolled up his sleeves, eager to beat up Qi Ke immediately.
Qi Ke testified against Du Qingyang for cheating, and Xiang Zhihang and An Wei immediately determined that Qi Ke was slandering her.
Why?
For no reason. They unconditionally and without reason believe in Du Qingyang!
Today, the Big Boss has spoken, and An Wei has finally found an opportunity to beat up Qi Ke. Unexpectedly, Xiang Zhihang replied, “We are gentlemen; we can’t fight.”
◈◈◈
Gentlemen? An Wei looked down at himself. He had never thought that he had anything to do with being a gentleman. Although he was well-dressed, he didn’t have a trace of a gentleman about him.
He raised his head to look at Xiang Zhihang again. Dark skin, clearly someone who does heavy work, also without a trace of a gentleman.
If the Big Boss wants to feigning, why don’t you wear a pair of glasses and see?
An Wei imagined Xiang Zhihang wearing glasses. Still dark skin, still aloof and unapproachable, still with abs. Alas, it won’t work. Wearing glasses can’t make him look like a gentleman. Better not to pretend; when it’s time to act, act.
“You just pretend to be a fortune teller and say that Qi Ke has committed a crime, will be punished, and will have a bloody disaster.”
“If he wants to resolve it, he must surrender and end his crimes.”
An Wei listened, stunned.
Isn’t this deceiving people? Beating people is okay, but deceiving people… he can’t do it.
“Why me?” An Wei asked weakly.
“You look more like a swindler than I do.” Xiang Zhihang rolled his eyes at An Wei. If not An Wei, then who? He is handsome and dashing, completely unrelated to swindlers.
◈◈◈
An Wei: ……
◈◈◈
Ever since Qi Ke met Du Qingyang, he has always been restless. That’s why he walks with his head down on the street, as if there’s money to be picked up on the ground.
He didn’t pick up any money, but he bumped into someone.
“Sorry, sorry.” Qi Ke apologized repeatedly. When he looked up, he saw a strangely dressed person staring at him.
This person was An Wei.
An Wei didn’t know where he found a large robe and wore it on his body, loose and ill-fitting. He also wore a tall hat and stuck on a long beard. A middle-aged man’s attire, a young man’s skin. The skin not covered by the beard was tender and smooth, too incongruous.
Qi Ke was stunned and forgot to walk around An Wei. He just stared blankly at An Wei.
An Wei cleared his throat twice before Qi Ke came back to his senses.
“Young man, I see that your Yintang is dark; you are about to suffer a bloody disaster.” An Wei shook his head and reached out to stroke his beard.
Qi Ke, who had just come back to his senses, was stunned again.
“You must have done something wrong and will be punished.”
Qi Ke’s face darkened. Something wrong? Could it be the matter of him testifying against Du Qingyang for cheating? Qi Ke’s heart skipped a beat.
Qi Ke’s change in expression fell into An Wei’s eyes, and he pressed on.
“Young man, you must surrender quickly, repent, and start anew to save your life.”
Surrender? Then wouldn’t his third place be gone? Qi Ke instantly came back to his senses. “Bah, you’re the one who did something wrong.” After saying that, he directly bypassed An Wei and took a big step.
“Ah—” Just as he took two steps, Qi Ke let out a scream.
An Wei turned around to look. Good heavens, he was hit on the head by an egg, and egg white was splattered all over his face. Looking at his embarrassed appearance, An Wei couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
After a moment, An Wei felt that he should say something more. So, he finally managed to hold back his laughter and said seriously, “Young man, look, this is your retribution. If you don’t surrender again, your life will be in danger.”
Qi Ke spat, wiped his face, and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Three, two, one, An Wei silently counted in his heart. Just as he counted down to one, Qi Ke stepped on a banana peel and fell flat on his face.
Hahaha…
An Wei’s tractor-like laughter rang out again.
An Wei didn’t come alone; he had a gang. Xiang Zhihang was hiding in the dark; he was the one who threw the egg, and he was also the one who threw the banana peel.
Qi Ke got up in a panic and ran away. A figure appeared in the dark corner and also ran after him.
Looking at Qi Ke’s back, An Wei shook his head. “Young man, accept your fate. The Big Boss hasn’t thrown the watermelon rind in his hand yet.”
