Zhang Xiaohao arrived at Bai Xue Cosmetics Company.
"Mr. Zhang, hello!" Upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao, a group of security guards saluted him respectfully.
"Mhm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He entered the company lobby.
"Ah! Mr. Zhang, you’re here!" Zhang Jiao exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao walk in unexpectedly.
"Eh! What are you eating?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in astonishment.
Zhang Jiao and Li Xiaolu were sitting on the sofa, eating something.
"Ah! Mr. Zhang, we’re eating lobsters." Zhang Jiao said embarrassingly.
"I was just feeling hungry, and it happened to be break time, hehe, so I ordered some snacks! Mr. Zhang, why don’t you have some too?" Li Xiaolu said awkwardly.
"Hehe, then I won’t be polite." Zhang Xiaohao laughed.
He sat down on the sofa, picked up a lobster, and began eating right away.
Scrape, scrape, scrape...
Just as he had finished three lobsters, a series of dull footsteps could be heard coming from inside.
Li Chenggong came downstairs, his face flushed with excitement, desperately trying to hold back his laughter.
When he reached the lobby, Li Chenggong stopped, his face hesitant. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
"Eh! What are you doing, Li Chenggong?" Zhang Xiaohao looked up and asked.
"Ah! Brother Hao! I wasn’t doing anything?" Li Chenggong started with a jolt, saying instinctively.
"Have you eaten yet?" Zhang Xiaohao inquired.
"Not, not yet!" Li Chenggong replied.
"Don’t just stand there, come and join us, Mr. Li is treating us today." Zhang Xiaohao called out.
"Brother Hao, that wouldn’t be right!" Li Chenggong hesitated.
"What’s right or wrong about it? It’s an order, get over here!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Mhm." Li Chenggong nodded and sat down next to Li Xiaolu.
"Don’t just sit there, eat! Look how big these lobsters are, as big as a palm, it’s a rare treat from Mr. Li, miss this village and you won’t find this shop again," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Mhm." Li Chenggong responded.
He began eating his lobster, though slowly, his brows deeply furrowed, as if weighed down by some vexing thoughts.
About fifteen minutes later.
A big bag of lobsters was finished.
Zhang Xiaohao took out a pack of Panda cigarettes, handed one to Li Chenggong, put one in his mouth, and tossed the rest to Li Xiaolu.
Li Xiaolu was quick to light Zhang Xiaohao’s cigarette for him.
After taking a satisfying puff of smoke, Zhang Xiaohao said,
"What’s up? You seem to have something on your mind. Spit it out, let’s see if I can help you sort it out."
"Ah! No, nothing!" Li Chenggong quickly denied.
"Stop pretending, it’s all over your face. Tell me, what’s bothering you?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Brother Hao, if I really say it..." Li Chenggong hesitated for a moment.
"Mhm, go ahead! If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Brother Hao, could I borrow your car for a bit?" Li Chenggong asked tentatively.
"You need the car?" Zhang Xiaohao asked curiously.
"Mhm!" Li Chenggong nodded, explaining.
"I’m graduating tomorrow, and I want to take this opportunity to confess to Zhu Bi’er today," Li Chenggong admitted, his face going red.
"Haha! This is a good thing! I’m definitely supportive. The only problem is, I don’t have a car," Zhang Xiaohao laughed.
"Ah! Then I’ll think of other ways," Li Chenggong said, sounding rather downhearted.
Seeing him , Zhang Jiao and Li Xiaolu couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
"What are you guys laughing at?" Li Chenggong asked, puzzled.
"You’re so silly! Mr. Zhang might not have a car, but with just one word, he can have all the company’s cars brought over!" Zhang Jiao laughed.
"Ah! Brother Hao, is that true?" Li Chenggong asked excitedly.
"Mhm," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
"Wait a second, let me make a call," Zhang Xiaohao said.
He took out his phone, dialed Huan You’er’s number, spoke a few simple sentences, and then hung up.
"Wait for half an hour!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Mhm," Li Chenggong nodded.
"By the way, where do you plan on confessing?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.
"Brother Hao, I plan to confess to Bi’er at school today and give her a surprise! I want to show those classmates who once looked down on us that I, Li Chenggong, can make Bi’er happy!" Li Chenggong said excitedly.
"Very good! That’s the spirit, that’s how a man should be!" Zhang Xiaohao praised.
And so, the group of people gathered in the living room to wait.
Zhang Jiao cleared up the coffee table and brought over a few cups of coffee.
A lineup of black Lamborghinis pulled up in front of Bai Xue Company, led by a limited-edition globally Marston Carding!
"They’re here, let’s go!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
Having said that, he stood up and walked outside.
"Mr. Zhang!" The leading middle-aged man hurried over and saluted as he saw Zhang Xiaohao come out.
"Hmm, thank you for your efforts! Leave the cars here and come pick them up this time tomorrow," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" the leading middle-aged man responded.
After speaking, he left with his group.
Looking at the sixty-six super luxury cars in front of him, Zhang Xiaohao asked,
"Xiaolu, how many security guards do we still have at the company?"
"Mr. Zhang, some of my comrades from the army retired recently, and after I reported to Mr. Cheng, I had them start working here. In total, we have about eighty," Li Xiaolu explained.
"Hmm, leave about ten here, and have the rest change into brand-new suits and shoes. Have them drive and follow me!" Zhang Xiaohao ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" Li Xiaolu affirmed.
He then picked up the walkie-talkie and started issuing orders.
A group of steely security guards, each radiating an aura of fierce determination, stood in brand-new black suits and shoes at the entrance of Bai Xue Company.
Their daunting presence was instantly palpable.
"Hmm, not bad! All skilled hands," Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.
"One Lamborghini per person, follow behind me. Remember, no falling behind! Did everyone hear that?" Zhang Xiaohao barked.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang!" the group of security guards responded respectfully.
"Mr. Zhang, what if someone cuts in the line?" Li Xiaolu asked.
"Hmph! Today we are here to support and cheer on our brother. If anyone dares to cut in, don’t feel sorry for the car! Ram them hard! If one car isn’t enough, then two! If two aren’t enough, everyone hit together! If the car gets smashed, each person will be rewarded with twenty thousand RMB! Anyone who feels sorry for the car or gets scared can get the hell out!" Zhang Xiaohao commanded with dominating presence.
"Understood, Mr. Zhang! We’ll complete the mission according to your instructions!" the group of iron-fisted security guards responded loudly.
"Good! Get in the cars, let’s go!" Zhang Xiaohao gestured grandly.
"Don’t just stand there, today Brother Hao will be your driver and help cheer you on! The rest is all on you," Zhang Xiaohao said, patting Li Chenggong on the shoulder.
