My sister-in-law from Qingdao

Hearing Mengyao say that, my face flushed red instantly.

Mengyao is very beautiful, with a near-perfect figure, but I have never had any inappropriate thoughts about her.

After all, I'm not that kind of person.

"Little sister, let's not joke about that. It's getting late, I have to go to my shift. You should get ready for work too."

Mengyao looked at me gently and said, "Okay, I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

As I walked out of Mengyao's room and down the hallway, I had a strange feeling.

When I returned to the security office, Ma Zhiyuan immediately put his arm around my shoulder.

"Bro, that's awesome! What did Mengyao want from you? Is she thinking of you as her savior and planning to repay you with her body?"

"Brother Ma, stop messing around, okay? We've only met once, and you forgot she scratched me."

"You don't understand. A beating is a sign of affection, and scolding is a sign of love. So many people didn't dare to say a word, but you were the only one who stepped forward and saved her. It's only natural that you would repay her with your body."

In a place like ours, men are attracted to women's beauty and charm, while women are attracted to men's chivalry and loyalty.

I still shook my head. Ever since I experienced Tang Xiaofu and Tang Yanran, I've realized that love in this world is neither easy nor simple.

At least until I succeed, I don't plan to get involved in relationships again, let alone fall in love with every guy I meet.

To be honest, Tang Yanran and I are a joke. Where in this world is there such a simple love?

I have truly fallen in love with Tang Xiaofu. I originally thought that we were the kind of people who understood and supported each other while living in different places, and that we were even somewhat well-matched.

But later I discovered that it was full of deception.

Therefore, I want to establish my career first, and then start a family.

I'll consider finding my other half when I've truly succeeded.

Just as I was standing at the door, smoking and directing traffic with Ma Zhiyuan.

Zhao Yun is back.

When I saw his car stop, my heart jumped again. I had caused such a big mess today, and I really didn't know how much trouble it would bring him.

As he walked past me, I wanted to say something to him, but he didn't look at me.

My heart jumped into my throat, and even smoking tasted bland.

Just as I was standing there, bewildered and at a loss, the young girl at the bar came over to me and said, "Brother Chen, Boss Zhao wants to see you in his office."

I arrived at Zhao Yun's office with a feeling of unease. He was sitting in front of the tea set, drinking tea.

Seeing me enter, he pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit down."

I didn't sit down, I just stood there, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Boss Zhao, how is General Manager Li?"

Zhao Yun looked up and couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "Why are you calling me Boss Zhao now? Aren't you supposed to call me Big Brother? You can call me Boss too."

"Big brother, I...I'm so sorry, I've caused you trouble."

"It's alright, this matter can be big or small, we can just pay some money and it will be over."

"How much compensation I owe him will be deducted from my salary."

Zhao Yun waved his hand and pointed to the seat again, saying, "Sit down and have a cup of tea with me."

I sat down, and he personally poured me a cup of tea and pushed it in front of me.

"I'm very satisfied with your performance today, but I'm also very dissatisfied."

Zhao Yun picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and said meaningfully.

I didn't understand what he said at first.

"What does Big Brother mean?"

"In this situation, it's gratifying that you, a new employee, were able to step in and stop someone's wrongdoing."

You are bold and brave, and you remind me of my younger self.

However, I also have some complaints, namely that it was too reckless.

We live in a society governed by law; it's not about fighting and killing anymore. The world of martial arts is more about human relationships and social graces.

Zhao Yun's words were somewhat contradictory, and I felt like I had heard them somewhere before.

Indeed, things are different now than before. In the last few decades, if you fought as a group, you could just fight and that was it. But now, fighting really comes at a price.

Five thousand yuan for a slap—this is not an exaggeration.

"Brother, I was wrong. How much compensation do you owe him? Deduct it from my salary."

Zhao Yun smiled and shook his head, saying, "You fought for the employees of Shuiyunjian, how can we let you pay for it all by yourself? This time, I won't give you a reward or fine you."

When he said that, I felt much more relaxed. It wasn't until later that I learned that he had paid Li Qingjiang one million yuan in compensation because of this fight.

It's said that this million was only because of Zhao Yun's influence; according to Li Qingjiang, he wanted me to go to jail.

"Brother, there's one more thing I need to tell you. I've managed to settle this matter, but only superficially."

Li Qingjiang won't do anything to you in the short term, and he wouldn't dare to do anything to you openly.

But the future is uncertain. This person is cunning and treacherous, and considered a successful figure in the real estate industry. He has money and connections, and I'm worried that he might target you again in the future, so you need to be careful.

Zhao Yun's words sent chills down my spine. I'm just an ordinary working man, and in this modern city, I'm too vulnerable to setbacks.

"Thank you, brother, I understand."

Zhao Yun picked up his teacup to show me the light, then took a sip himself and said, "I heard from Xiao Shuang that she's started teaching you kung fu."

"You mean Zhao Shuang, your sister?"

"Yes, this girl is quite skilled. If you can learn her kung fu, three or five people won't be able to beat you."

Zhao Yun's reminder brought me back to my senses. When I knocked Li Qingjiang to the ground, I actually used the "backing mountain collapse" technique.

The kung fu that Zhao Shuang taught me.

"Big brother, I will definitely study hard."

"If you get off work too late during this period, you can stay here. I'm really worried that Li Qingjiang won't openly target you, but will target you secretly. That would be the most troublesome thing."

"Thank you, brother, I understand."

As I left Brother Zhao Yun's room, I suddenly felt like I had grown up.

Zhao Yun didn't say much to me, but every word he spoke was sincere. In the future, as I navigate this society, I may face extremely harsh and turbulent storms.

As soon as I entered the elevator, I received a call from my cousin-in-law, Su Xiaoya.

My cousin's slightly hoarse voice came through the phone: "Chen Dong, where are you?"

"Where else could I be? I'm in the factory."

My cousin-in-law didn't know I was at Shuiyunjian, so I naturally lied and said I was at Linglong Drawnwork Co., Ltd.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, a commotion erupted outside. I quickly moved to a corner to try and make the area quieter.

"Here's the thing, your brother's memorial service is the day after tomorrow, you have to come back with me."

"Are we going to the 57th day memorial service so soon? Isn't the 57th day memorial service supposed to be 35 days?"

"Theoretically it should be thirty-five days, but the custom in our area is that it doesn't last beyond one month. The day after tomorrow is the 29th of the ninth lunar month, so we've set it for that day."

"Okay, I got it. Let's go back together the day after tomorrow."

"I'll call Lin Moli and ask her to lend you a car; you can give me a ride."

"You don't need to call her. Borrowing a car is easy; I can just borrow any one. Sister-in-law, why does your voice sound different? What's wrong?"

"I'm fine, you can hang up now."

I could tell from the phone call that she might have been crying; her voice was hoarse and low.

I'm a little worried, and I want to go see her.

I asked Liu Dachuan for leave and drove straight to my sister-in-law's place.
