My Terrible Life in Those Years

106. Who's causing trouble on my turf?

"You, are you serious??" I stammered.

Aunt Shu put down the bottle and looked at me very seriously.

"What? Do I look like I'm joking?"

Before I could retort, Hong Daji, who had taken many photos along the way, had already returned.

He had so much to say, but suddenly he couldn't utter a single word.

Why did such a good plan only get off to a good start, and then completely deviate from its intended course?

Am I not suited for making plans?

Wasn't it the same situation when I accompanied Du Yan to see Zhong Yang last time?

The plan, which I thought was perfect, started off quite smoothly, but it completely changed in the middle and later stages.

Damn it, I'm not making any more plans from now on.

Let's give it a try!

The problem is, is this project going to fail?

Two and a half days later, I won't be able to stop Uncle Ye.

A tremendous sense of loss and panic suddenly welled up from the bottom of my heart for no apparent reason.

Is it because my seven working days have been so comical, and the results of each one have exceeded my expectations, that I've developed the illusion that I can achieve anything I set my mind to?

I think I do have a feeling about that.

Now, what can we do? It's too late to regret it.

The more forcefully you dig this pit, the deeper it buries you.

Hong Daji plopped down.

Noticing my expression, she said, "Hey, pretty boy, what's going on? You were in a good mood just now, what happened? Did your boss, Ms. Shu, criticize you?"

It would be better if she criticized me. She was clearly praising me on the surface while secretly undermining me.

Is this woman deliberately trying to make things difficult for me? She couldn't possibly not know that this is against the rules.

I laughed: "How could that be? President Shu has always praised me."

Hong Panpan asked curiously, "Then what does that expression on your face, like someone stole your money, mean?"

I know I can't say anything carelessly now. Otherwise, things will only get worse.

"General Manager Shu just assigned me a task, and it's so difficult that I don't think I can complete it!"

"Hey, you guys are workaholics, aren't you? Even while treating people to dinner, you can't help but talk about work?"

These words were spoken to Aunt Shu.

Aunt Shu smiled and said, "This matter is still in the planning stage. We'll definitely need Reporter Hong's help a lot in the future. However, the details might take a day or two to finalize. I'll have Jiang Ning inform you then. I guarantee you'll have some good material to write about!"

My heart skipped a beat. What does this mean?

She completely baffled me.

Hong Panpan glanced at me, then at Aunt Shu, and slowly nodded.

"Okay, if it were any other company or person saying this, I would definitely think you're stalling for time to keep me from getting the latest updates. But since it's your company, I trust you. So it's settled then. I have some things to do tonight, I'll work overtime. Is that it?"

The guest says they want to leave, what can we say?

Get up quickly and see them off.

Aunt Shu drove her back to her workplace, and gave Zhou Tong a ride along the way.

As for me, I'm still doing my temporary job!

I really want to call Aunt Shu right away and ask her in detail what she's thinking.

But when she reached for the phone, she always felt it wasn't the right time yet, and should wait. Besides, she had just gone out the intersection to get her car and drop someone off.

It's not very convenient to play.

As they left the stall, Uncle Ye noticed my somewhat dejected expression: "What's wrong? Did something go wrong?"

His eyes were sharper than an eagle's, and his nose more sensitive than a hunting dog's.

I brought the company's second-in-command, and even a senior reporter from a major newspaper, here to eat, and had her take photos and such. My purpose was pretty obvious, wasn't it?

I hesitated for a moment and said, "It's hard to say now. We'll have to wait a day or two to see what specific plan Aunt Shu comes up with."

Uncle Ye didn't waste any words: "Yes, there are still two and a half days. We'll decide then!"

I panicked a little. Damn it, I'm in such a passive position.

The main problem is still not being able to grasp Aunt Shu's thoughts.

Just as I was lost in thought, the phone rang.

The phone rang suddenly, which startled me.

When I quickly pulled it out to check, it was Aunt Shu's number.

"What's wrong, Manager Shu?"

"Jiang Ning, you, you need to come over right away. I've run into some trouble." The voice on the phone sounded a bit anxious; it was noisy on the other end, as if there were quite a few people.

"What's going on? Where are you?"

"Right at the intersection, I ran into a few thugs trying to scam me!" The woman's tone was a mix of anger and helplessness.

I shuddered. Where am I? In an urban village! And she drives around in and out of a car worth over a million. She's definitely an easy target for staged accidents.

"Be careful, I'm coming right away!"

This meal turned out to be a huge trap for them, and now, three beautiful women of all ages are being scammed!

I quickly put down the menu and pen, and said to Uncle Ye, "Uncle Ye, I'm going out for a bit. They've been scammed!"

Uncle Ye narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"You go first!"

I quickly kicked off and sprinted towards the street corner at top speed.

When I arrived, a large crowd had already gathered.

This place is usually bustling with people, but now a car has blocked the way, and seven or eight people have surrounded it, almost cutting off the road.

Goodness, it took me a lot of effort to squeeze in.

A young man was leaning against the car, groaning incoherently, his hands trembling as he hugged his legs.

Aunt Shu held the phone, looking sullen. Hong Daji looked at the young man on the ground with amusement, while Xiao Zhoutong nervously watched the direction I was coming from.

There were also five or six young men who were speaking up for the man lying down.

"You beautiful lady, you look quite respectable, driving a luxury car, how dare you talk like that?"

"Exactly! It was clearly your car that hit his foot. How can you say that he only hit it after you stopped your car?"

"Exactly! Just that one bump, and it's serious! I bet a hospital visit would cost at least several thousand!"

……

Goodness, that guy lying down looks familiar. Isn't he the one who's suspected of stealing my money?

Among the noisy crowd were a few familiar faces, one of whom was Chengzai, whom he hadn't seen for several days, and the guy who had been confronted by Uncle Ye at the Kangning store.

Damn, what a small world!

The group of people were getting closer and closer, almost touching Aunt Shu.

Each of their eyes gleamed with a wolf-like green light.

Aunt Shu is very imposing in front of us, and she also has a strong presence in front of clients, never losing out.

But in front of this group of thugs, she suddenly felt at a loss.

More than a dozen hands have already reached out.

"What? The damage is so severe, five thousand isn't too much, is it?"

"Exactly! Look at your car, it's worth over a million. You're not even willing to spend this little bit more?"

"Hurry up, otherwise, if more of us brothers come, the number will probably be much more than this!"

Holy crap, this is a blatant threat!

How could I possibly tolerate this?

He pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Aunt Shu and the others, facing the group of thugs directly!
