Chapter 161: Chapter 161: Wait for Me
After Zhang Xiaoling left, Xia Chuyi finally let out a sigh of relief and said to Xia Chengzong, “Second brother, today, thank you.”
Fortunately, he understood her meaning, otherwise, Zhang Xiaoling would not have let it go easily.
When she suddenly thanked him seriously, it really gave Xia Chengzong a fright.
“It’s, it’s nothing.” Rarely thanked so sincerely, Xia Chengzong felt a bit uncomfortable.
Xia Chuyi gave him a smile, “Alright, second brother, let’s go back.”
By the time they got back to “Youwei,” Zhao Xiaogui had been waiting anxiously for a long time.
“Sis, you’re finally back!” Zhao Xiaogui rushed over like an abandoned pitiful child.
“Sis, are you alright? I wanted to come see you, but the shop can’t be left unattended,” he said, pitifully.
“Didn’t I tell you before I left that I was fine?” Xia Chuyi patted him.
“The Police Station, that is!” Despite Zhao Xiaogui’s usual bluster, the mention of the police still scared him quite a bit.
“Okay, I know you were worried and scared, let’s chalk up a merit for you!” She said with a smile.
“Alright, today was tough on everyone, the opening day’s business was not bad. Later, I’ll cook something delicious as both a celebration and to calm the nerves!”
Zhao Xiaogui immediately cheered.
The atmosphere on Xia Chuyi’s side was incredibly harmonious, but it was entirely different on Zhang Xiaoling’s end.
After leaving the Business Bureau, Zhang Xiaoling fumed as she walked: Ever since she met that bumpkin Xia Chuyi, she had not had one moment of satisfaction!
Every single time she had to swallow her anger because of that dead bumpkin.
Xia Chuyi, just you wait!
With fury in her eyes and heavy footsteps, she made her way back to the coal factory.
As soon as she entered the factory, one of her admirers, the lapdog Li Cai, came up to greet her, “Comrade Xiaoling, hello, you’re back?”
With a big grin on his face, he greeted her.
Zhang Xiaoling was furious and found everyone annoying. She took it out immediately on him, barking, “What’s good? Li Cai, didn’t you tell me before that you had a way to deal with Xia Chuyi? To make her close the shop and leave! What now? Where’s your plan?”
“Humph, and now, her shop is still up and running just fine!” Zhang Xiaoling said, getting more and more angry.
It made her have to take action herself… and ended up with her getting played and swallowing a bellyful of frustration.
“I don’t care, Li Cai, you must find someone for me, make it so her shop can’t continue. Otherwise, when the time comes, you’ll be the one to leave, get out of this factory!” She might not have a say in matters with the Police Station, but she still had the power to call the shots in the factory!
“This, this…” Li Cai, having been sprayed with a torrent of anger, could only manage an awkward smile, “The people I found before… sigh, who knew Ban Cunqiang’s men would know Xia Chuyi.”
And that she was Ban Cunqiang’s sister.
“Those mixed up in the underworld preach about loyalty; once they know this is Ban Cunqiang’s territory, nobody else wants to take the job,” Li Cai hurriedly explained.
Zhang Xiaoling couldn’t care less, she snapped coldly, “Li Cai, don’t make excuses! If you can’t get things done, it’s because you’re stupid!”
“With great rewards come brave men, if you spend more money, are you afraid you can’t find someone? Li Cai, let me tell you, I can give you the money, but you must get this done for me.”
“Otherwise, turn around and get lost, roll out of this coal factory!”
Zhang Xiaoling’s eyes flashed with sparks as she said, “Anyway, I must vent this anger no matter what!”
A trace of displeasure flashed in Li Cai’s eyes, but he dared not show it and could only obsequiously grin and nod, “Xiaoling, why bother yourself ? It wouldn’t be good if you got sick from anger.”
“Rest assured, I will definitely accomplish this for you!”
He slapped his chest, guaranteeing, with a hint of malevolence in his eyes.
Since Zhang Xiaoling had said so much, Xia Chuyi might as well get ready to close up shop.
Zhang Xiaoling snorted coldly, “Humph, then I’ll be waiting for your good news!”
