Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 389 Big Brother, the taste is off!

Because it was really late, even while they were walking, Ximen Lang was still blaming Bai Ling for not reminding him sooner.
"Ling, you should know how important this is to me. I even missed training because of it. I didn't even sleep in; I got up early to watch this spectacle... no, to get this important business done!"

"But what happened? You knew perfectly well that time was running out, and if we stayed any longer we'd be late. Why didn't you remind me right away? Now look what's happened. What am I supposed to say to you?"

It was clearly Ximen Lang's own fault for being a scoundrel and not putting on airs, but he insisted on showing off in front of me. In the end, however, I ended up being the one who got blamed!
How could Bai Ling tolerate this?

She really didn't spoil him at all. With a glare in her almond-shaped eyes, Bai Ling directly and bluntly rebuked Ximen Lang.

"I wish I could remind you eight hundred times! But what did you do? All you cared about was showing off, that's all you know! I was giving you those winks, my eyes were practically twitching, did you even acknowledge me? Did you even bother to glance at me?"

"Now you're blaming me for not reminding you, and you're putting all the blame on me, dumping all the responsibility on me. I think you're just asking for trouble, you're asking for it and need to be taught a lesson!"

Of course, Ximen Lang was very dissatisfied with this!

Therefore, they were surprised to see that Bai Ling actually dared to talk back.

Especially since Hao Pingchuan, one of his cronies, talked back to him!

Feeling rather embarrassed, Ximen Lang blurted out without thinking.

"You dare talk back after doing something wrong! What kind of attitude is that?"

Unfortunately, the sentence he had just uttered was ruthlessly interrupted by Bai Ling.

"Ximen Lang, have you thought this through? You don't have Lao Luo or Aunt Wang protecting you anymore. Think it through before you talk to me!"

Although not a single word was explicitly threatened, every sentence was a threat, which immediately brought Ximen Lang back to his senses.

That's it, he's stopped being arrogant and cocky.

Seeing Bai Ling staring directly at him, her eager expression was terrifying.

Ximen Lang immediately became obedient.

He didn't care what Hao Pingchuan thought of him.
Because of Xia Yiyi's matter, Ximen Lang always felt indebted to Bai Ling, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he quickly explained.

"See, I'm in a rush again. Although what I said just now did have a hint of resentment towards you, it doesn't mean I was really blaming you. I was just anxious because I was about to fall behind, and I spoke without thinking. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Bai Ling certainly didn't intend to force Ximen Lang to apologize for such a trivial matter.

After all, it was in front of his cronies. If Ximen Lang really lost face, it would be embarrassing for her as well, and even more inappropriate.

Therefore, seeing that Ximen Lang's attitude had softened, Bai Ling's words were no longer so sharp.

While driving as fast and safely as possible, we tried to get to the steel rolling mill as soon as possible and not fall too far behind.

Bai Ling also explained.

"So, we're rushing there as fast as we can right now. And we'll be there soon, so don't worry."

It all happened so quickly, from almost starting a fight, even escalating to physical violence, to calming down and returning to normal, all in just a few words.

It's no exaggeration to say that this amazing maneuver left Hao Pingchuan, who was in the back seat, completely dumbfounded. It truly lived up to the old saying, "What goes around comes around."

Then, without giving the two a chance to vent their emotions on themselves, they remained silent from beginning to end, showing no bias whatsoever.

Having spent so much time with Ximen Lang and Bai Ling, Hao Pingchuan had finally figured out some tricks of the trade. Before Ximen Lang and Bai Ling could even start chatting, they turned their attention to him, causing him to suffer any more inhumane treatment, such as being subjected to mixed doubles beatings.

The reaction was incredibly fast.

Just as Ximen Lang and Bai Ling were starting to argue, Hao Pingchuan immediately focused on practicing his Tortoise Shell Divine Skill, keeping his eyes, nose, mouth, and mind at ease.

Forget about recklessly replying; he wouldn't even laugh at a joke.

He remained expressionless and calm until he reached his destination.

Then, he was confronted by Ximen Lang and Bai Ling, who couldn't find a reason to vent their frustrations.

Even though he hadn't said a word, Ximen Lang managed to find a way to say he had a sadomasochistic expression and asked him if he had a problem with him.

Even Bai Ling immediately echoed, her sharp gaze falling directly on him like a knife.

you
That's just being unreasonable!

Fortunately, this ordeal only lasted for a short while.

Immediately, Ximen Lang and Bai Ling were completely captivated and awestruck by the new sight.

Yes, an epic scene is unfolding as thousands of people receive their wages together; the steel rolling mill that Ximen Lang has been longing for has finally arrived.

We had just arrived at our destination, and the car was still running.

The queue stretched for over a hundred meters!

Moreover, it's divided into several columns, each hundreds of meters long!
Ximen Lang was truly shocked by the grand scene before him. He had never seen such a lively sight before. He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"There are so many people, and the line is so long! The key is that it's several rows long and still stretches this far! This is unbelievable!"

With only a few thousand people, they were able to create such a large scene.

If, like in the original storyline, the steel rolling mill were expanded to employ tens of thousands of people, becoming a large factory with tens of thousands of employees...
"Wouldn't the queue stretch from the finance department all the way outside the factory?! Is it really that outrageous?!"

Isn't it?
Although today's scene was specially prepared for Ximen Lang by the Sijiu City World, which is why it was made so grand.

But this is still too exaggerated!

Especially for Ximen Lang, who had never seen such a scene before!

It wasn't just because Simon Lang had hardly ever received his salary, but also because...
"Paper money is really not very common in our daily lives anymore!"

"Take me for example. If I hadn't come here and needed to deal with paper currency, I wouldn't have touched a banknote for many years! In fact, I don't even recognize the new banknotes that were just issued!"

"Although the methods of identification are still the same, and even easier to identify with the new banknotes, I just feel like something's off. It's clearly real, but it feels a bit fake, just not quite genuine!"
