She wasn't a local, but her back view resembled hers. I inquired about her and Xiao Cheng.

For no apparent reason, Bai Lu thought of someone.

The person who delivered hangover medicine to Xiao Cheng in the middle of the night, and who "casually" delivered food to Xiao Cheng on Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day).

Yun Ruolin.

"Sister-in-law, the water is full."

Xiao Wei didn't want to disturb Bai Lu, but Bai Lu had scooped all the water out of the bucket, and the water in the vegetable washing basin was overflowing. Bai Lu was unaware of this and didn't react.

Bai Lu immediately snapped out of her daze upon hearing the sound, pulling herself out of her memories of Xiao Cheng from her past life, and released the water ladle.

Roll up your sleeves and wash the vegetables.

While washing the vegetables, she asked the little guy helping her pick them, "Did Luo Shiliu and Xiao Dazhuang say what they wanted to eat?"

I've been busy since early morning, helping with the move and cleaning the old house, and I'll continue in the afternoon.

We can't go without even lunch.

Xiao Weixue said to the two gentlemen in a very polite tone, "Whatever."

Bai Lu: "..."

I asked before buying groceries and just said "anything is fine".

After buying groceries, he said "whatever" when he came back.

These two brothers really aren't picky eaters.

﹉

In the coastal city at night, the moon is bright and the stars are few.

Xiao Cheng has thoroughly investigated the fruit processing plant and has already identified the manufacturers for waterway transactions.

In the initial stages of cooperation, dinners inevitably involve toasts, formulaic discussions, and formulaic language.

Talking too much makes you numb, like a machine, operating without joy or sorrow, dull and boring.

It felt like going back to several years ago, to the endless cycle of collecting payments after the first order.

The only difference is that back then, there was no bounds, but now... I'm eager to go home.

The dinner party finally ended. Xiao Cheng walked out of the restaurant and looked at the unfamiliar streets and colorful streetlights, thinking of the girl in the distance.

For the first time, I had the urge to rush home.

"Finally, I can go home!" After a few drinks, Li Si missed his third brother terribly.

I'm extremely happy to have completed this business trip; the work is 100% complete.

He blurted out with endless emotion, "Brother Cheng, the train tickets for tomorrow are booked. We can finally go home, go home to see Third Brother, Sister-in-law, and the brothers, and go back to our own territory to reign supreme..."

"I'll get a good night's sleep tonight and have sweet dreams. I'll wake up home tomorrow morning. Ah! How wonderful!"

If he had even two peanuts, he wouldn't be this drunk.

Li Si squinted his half-drunk eyes, looking at his boss's incredibly handsome face, when suddenly his eyes twitched, and he blinked a hundred reassuring glances at his boss.

"Brother Cheng, you can rest assured. You'll definitely get a good night's sleep tonight, and Yun Ruolin won't bother you anymore."

"When the second batch of goods with washing machines was shipped, Yun Dingkun said that Yun Ruolin was going to help him expand his territory and conduct market research in our Nanshi."

"His tone was so proud and self-satisfied. He even said that since Nanshi is so close to our Pingcheng, if we happen to meet, we should do our duty as hosts and have a get-together..."

"I verbally agreed, but in my heart... what kind of gathering is this? I went home, closed the door, and knew she was just some Tom, Dick, and Harry. I told her to go somewhere cool and stay there..."

Upon hearing that Yun Ruolin had gone to Nanshi, Xiao Cheng's expression did not relax; instead, he frowned.

When did this happen?

"Just the day before yesterday, after I finished shipping the goods and returned to the hotel, I saw you were still busy organizing data for the fruit industry. After reporting the key points of the work to you, I didn't mention this little matter of Yun Ruolin to bother you." Li Si gave me a look that said, "You're so sensible, praise me!"

As a result, she received a thousand cuts and a cold knife.

"You think what you said is the key point?" The big boss's tone was as cold as an icy pool, and his gaze was like a knife.

Li Si trembled as the knife struck him: "The job duties... no, no, isn't it the key point?"

"Yun Ruolin went to Nanshi...isn't that a good thing? The good thing about her...is just...a small matter..."

Before Li Si could finish speaking, a hundred-yuan bill was slapped in his face.

"Go exchange your coins!"

The aloof figure vanished instantly, reappearing a second later in the public phone booth across the street.

Li Si was stunned for a moment, then quickly ran into the convenience store to exchange coins and deliver them to the boss.

Tragically...

The coins were exchanged, but the phone call, just like the night the misunderstanding occurred, couldn't be connected.

Xiao Cheng visited all four phone booths in turn, but he couldn't make a single call.

Perhaps because he had been drinking, when he slammed the phone receiver up, the force was so great that it cracked the area around the receiver slot.

People who went to make phone calls were scared away.

Fearing the boss might smash the phone booth, Li Si risked getting punched and quickly stepped forward to take over the hot potato: "Brother Cheng, take a break. The phone in this booth must be broken. I'll go make another call. You wait, I'll get you and your sister-in-law connected right away!"

Xiao Cheng stared as Li Si walked into another phone booth, his eyes burning with an unnatural crimson, revealing his brutality.

It was as if I were watching a criminal who had committed an unforgivable and heinous crime and was about to be executed.

It’s over!

The big boss must be drunk!

He must have been so angry that he was drunk. If he couldn't get through on the phone, he would definitely have been punched away!

Li Si finally realized that Yun Ruolin might not only have gone to Nanshi, but also to Pingcheng.

They might even go to the new town to cause trouble for their sister-in-law!

Li Si's hands trembled as he pressed the numbers.

His voice trembled like a leaf: "Brother Cheng... don't get agitated, don't get agitated... calm down..."

"It should work... beep beep... It must be that I didn't press the right button, I'll try again, don't worry, I'll get it right away... It must be that the buttons on this phone are broken, I'll get a different one, a different phone booth will definitely work..."

"Beep beep—"

A chilling wind rose around him, and a murderous aura gripped his throat. Li Si risked his life to leap over the statue of the big shot waiting outside the phone booth and quickly moved on to the next phone booth.

"Beep beep beep—"

"This...this...it must be that my sister-in-law's phone is broken again! We're moving today! Maybe the line is loose! I'll call Pingcheng Electrical Store right away and have Zhang San bring someone to fix the phone!"

"Beep... The number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."

Li Si wanted to bang his head against the wall: "New air conditioners and refrigerators have arrived, business is booming... Even late at night, customers are calling the store to inquire..."

"Wait, let me type it again."

"Beep... The number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."

Zhang San tried to make a last-ditch effort, but before he could even open his mouth to explain, the big boss grabbed him by the back of his collar.

Throw it into another phone booth.

Call Lulu!

Li Si couldn't believe it; the same "Lulu" was being called twice, and the last time he heard it, it was so gentle and affectionate.

At this moment, however, it became the execution order of the ancient execution ground, the death horn signaling the moment the blade fell and the head was severed.

The enraged boss was like a raging dragon, his eyes bloodshot, his voice fierce and ruthless, as if crawling up from hell, striking straight to the soul and crushing everything into pieces.

Li Si tremblingly held the coin "given" by the big boss and forcefully stuffed it into the phone card slot.

"Brother Cheng, wait a minute, we'll definitely get through this time..."
