My Terrible Life in Those Years

Sure enough, as soon as I said that, she immediately reacted.

"really?"

"Of course, the young boss and his family are originally from the village, and Uncle Ye has been here for many years, so he knows all the details."

Hong Panpan immediately opened her bag and took out a small camera.

"Please have a seat, I'll go take a few photos over there!"

Before we could react, she got up and walked quickly to the other end of the street. The chaotic scene of people still moving made her believe a little of what I said.

Then, I immediately lowered my head, preparing to face Aunt Shu's wrath.

Aunt Shu picked up the wine bottle, smiled, and raised it towards me.

"To our star migrant worker colleague in Jiangning, a toast to you!"

My heart sank.

If she gets angry and yells at me, I feel like I can salvage the situation.

The fact that she speaks to me in such a gentle tone now makes it clear that a wall has been erected between us.

What can I do?

I ignored her toast and drank the glass myself.

Then, I smiled innocently at Aunt Shu.

"What are you laughing at???"

Aunt Shu was a little uneasy because of my expression.

"Hey, Mr. Shu, wouldn't you say I've done another great service for the company?"

I've made up my mind. I'll use the methods I'm best at to win her over.

Aunt Shu's eyes widened like copper bells once again.

"What did you say??"

I know what she was thinking: I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you!

I chuckled and continued laughing.

"I know you heard me. That look on your face means you're telling me the company is going to give me another big reward!"

Aunt Shu said angrily, "Have some shame!"

I can't stand that.

He immediately put down the bottle: "Well, I have to tell you something about this."

I stretched out my left hand and pressed down one finger at a time.

"First of all, it's better to let Hung Tai-kei get involved in this matter than for us to get involved ourselves. Isn't that right? She's the embodiment of justice and fairness."

"Secondly, we've created a social news story, giving Reporter Hung plenty to write about. That's a huge favor. She's the uncrowned queen of queens; we've done her a tremendous favor! Just you wait, once she understands what happened, she'll definitely thank us profusely!"

"Thirdly, it helps the company handle the aftermath of this matter from another angle, without requiring much effort from us."

Aunt Shu nodded repeatedly, as if she completely agreed with what I said.

I know that she's been mentally crossing my name off!

"Of course, fourthly, we also indirectly helped the brother and sister and this uncle solve a big problem. What a great act of kindness!"

Aunt Shu beamed, "There's a fifth one too??"

"Fifth? Where did this fifth come from?" I pretended not to know.

"Fifthly, our colleague from Jiangning successfully rescued the damsel in distress! Right?" Aunt Shu hit the nail on the head.

I suddenly realized: "This one? This doesn't count as another one; it can be included in the fourth one."

I slapped my thigh and said, "President Shu, I'm done. Haven't I solved another big problem for the company? You don't need to worry about what reward to give me. Consider this my early promotion as another reasonable explanation to the company."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't ask the company for anything!"

Zhou Tong was completely dumbfounded.

There's something I want to say to you: I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone this shameless!

"No, that won't do. You've done such a great service; the company must thank you!"

Aunt Shu said it with absolute certainty.

My heart skipped a beat.

Damn, this old lady is about to explode!

"Really, no need. It's just what I should do."

I quickly declined.

"Oh dear, I, Shu Mei, have seen countless people, but this time, I must admit, I still misjudged them. Such ability, such methods, such cunning—it's such a waste that they're just lowly employees at our Brilliant Company!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Zhou Tong pointed towards the toilet and quickly made her escape to urinate, leaving me to face her anger alone.

Now that's great, without Zhou Tong in the middle, Aunt Shu can speak without any politeness or reservations.

"Young Jiang, that was a pretty good move!"

I quickly smiled apologetically, "No, no, I learned it all from President Shu!"

She suddenly slammed the bottle down on the table.

Pointing his finger at me, he said, "Do you know that by doing this, you're making the whole thing spiral out of our control?"

"I know, I know, that's why I didn't mention that our company was involved!"

"Do you think she won't find out just because you don't tell her?"

I quickly waved my hands: "No, no, I'll make sure the planning office doesn't say a word about it, they'll just deny it!"

Aunt Shu nearly flipped the table: "You, what makes you think you can get the planning institute to deny it? Do you really think you're a celebrity?"

"At this point, I don't want to hide anything. At the planning office, there's our approval supervisor, Zhong Yang; I can handle him!"

At this point, it was necessary to let Aunt Shu know the whole story.

Without her help, I would be dead!

Aunt Shu was a little dumbfounded.

"Are you drunk?"

"No, no!"

I quickly told her about what happened between Du Yan and Zhong Yang, and also about what happened in the recording studio!

Then, we both fell silent for a moment.

I'm quietly waiting for her next tough confrontation.

She was quietly thinking about how to handle this, and my sudden attack caught her off guard!

After a long while, before Zhou Tong returned, she chuckled softly.

"Oh dear, where is that little boss? I really want to see what kind of woman she is, that could catch the eye of our superstar Jiang, a migrant worker!"

Me... did we change the subject too quickly?

"She doesn't usually come this early, and lately she's been even busier, staying home taking care of her mother!"

I then confessed.

"Oh, that's such a pity!"

She picked up the bottle again and raised it towards me.

This time, I dared not be careless, so I quickly raised my bottle, lowered it just below hers, and we clinked our bottles together.

"So, how should I proceed from here?"

I probed.

"Cooperate? Cooperate with what?" she asked with a smile.

At this point, Xiao Zhou Tong also had to come back to use the restroom. He couldn't possibly stay there for more than half an hour, could he?

I widened my eyes: "Of course, I'll cooperate with the company and handle this matter properly, preventing them from demolishing the place while also ensuring the company isn't negatively impacted! Don't worry, I'll definitely do my job with Hong Da Ji!"

"Why not demolish this place? It's a pretty good spot. I took a quick look, and it could provide at least ten more large gaming spaces. If we could acquire it, we could make at least seven or eight million a year!"

"Just cooperate with the company and do a good job of GG development here!" Aunt Shu instructed directly.

My entire body felt completely cold!

Her reaction and actions were completely different from what I expected!

Uncle Ye, you old driver, save me!
