Chapter 94 The Ninety-Fourth Melon

If Gu Xicao were to say, when it comes to generosity, women are more generous.

Molly just casually said yesterday that she could work with her, but when they met the next day, she really gave her the project and also gave up a lot of benefits.

Zhang Liang was flattered. He hesitated and said, "Ms. Molly, this amusement park project is a sure win, and you are not short of money, so why do you need us to invest?"

Molly brought her daughter Amy, who was playing with Gu Xicao and Lin Yuan. The three of them were playing hide-and-seek with laughter and didn't take the deal seriously at all.

Molly's eyes softened a little. She turned her head and said to Zhang Liang, "Mr. Zhang, this project is not worth mentioning to me. In my opinion, I care more about Miss Gu as a partner. I believe she can bring me more surprises."

When Zhang Liang heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

It's obvious at first glance that Gu Xicao has never done business before, but she has one advantage: she can tell fortunes.

This advantage is really important.

Yesterday, Xu Jingfa used a fake document to defraud people in Hong Kong for so many days, but no one noticed that there was anything wrong, including so many senior managers and elites.

I heard that someone was deceived into borrowing hundreds of thousands of yuan from him.

If Gu Xicao had not taken action yesterday, once Xu Jingfa's bomb exploded, everyone in Xirang would have to go home and eat themselves.

"you're right."

Zhang Liang said thoughtfully.

Lin Yuan and Gu Xicao played with Amy for the whole afternoon. It was almost dusk. Gu Xicao said goodbye, but Amy was reluctant to leave. "Sister Gu, please stay. Our house is very big and you can sleep anywhere."

"Amy."

Although Molly loved her daughter, she did not spoil her. She frowned and scolded her.

Amy pursed her lips and loosened her grip.

Gu Xicao smiled and touched Amy: "Amy, sister also likes to play with you, we will see each other again soon."

"Really?" Amy's eyes lit up and she held out her hand. "Let's make a promise and stick to it for a hundred years."

Lin Yuan was surprised and asked, "You can do this too?"

Amy raised her chin proudly, "Amy is amazing, she can learn it in no time."

Molly couldn't help laughing: "I arranged a kindergarten for her. She learned a lot of strange words in the kindergarten. Sometimes I was also scared by this child."

“This shows that the child is smart.”

Gu Xicao said with a smile.

No parent would dislike hearing good things from their children. Molly smiled and said, "I have an appointment with Ms. Chen to visit her home in a few days. If you have time, why not come over too."

"Then I will refuse it disrespectfully."

Gu Xicao agreed generously without showing any sign of embarrassment.

Zhang Liang saw this, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He drove Gu Xicao and her brother back home. When the car arrived, Zhang Liang felt very ruthless and got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Xicao.

Gu Xicao brought Lin Yuan down and thanked Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang couldn't help but said, "Miss Gu, I have something to tell you."

Lin Yuan was very smart. He reacted immediately and waved to Gu Xicao, "Sister, I'll go upstairs to cook first. Come up after you finish your business."

Gu Xicao nodded to Lin Yuan, then turned to look at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang was nervous, his fingers curled up, and he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the sweat off his face. "Ms. Gu, there is something I did to let you down. Before, Manager Yan asked me to do something to help you. At that time, I was blinded by greed and my mind was muddled, so I agreed."

"But from yesterday till now, I haven't caused you any trouble at all. I can guarantee it!"

Gu Xicao said: "I have known about this for a long time."

"You know?!"

Zhang Liang looked up in surprise and stared at Gu Xicao with wide eyes.

However, he had a quick mind and figured it out quickly.

It was easy for Gu Xicao to figure out that Xu Jingfa was a liar, so it would be no problem for her to figure out that he was bribed by Yan Qin.

He touched his nose with a wry smile: "It seems that I am self-righteous and self-smart. If you want to replace me, I have nothing to say."

"Who said I was going to replace you?"

Gu Xicao glanced at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang opened his mouth slightly, with surprise and surprise alternating on his face.

Gu Xicao said, "You're not a bad person. Grandpa assigned you to help me. I think it's not without reason. You can continue to sit in the position of general manager. In addition, Lin Gengjin and the others who urged Wang Liyuan to serve him yesterday will be fired together."

"Yes!" Zhang Liang agreed without thinking.

But he reminded her first: "Miss Gu, many of them are relatives of the Wang family. It's no problem to expel them, but I'm afraid someone will fan the flames."

"Isn't that better?"

Gu Xicao crossed his arms and said, "I'll tell Grandpa later that Xirang's business is so bad because of these good-for-nothings."

I have to say.

Having a boss with strong backing can protect you.

Zhang Liang felt so happy when he heard these words. Those guys were indeed troublemakers in the company. They had no real skills, but they were great at disrupting things.

Previously, the company had several promising projects, but those troublemakers insisted on asking for kickbacks from others. Those others had good projects and no shortage of investment, but they just turned around and left without saying a word.

Zhang Liang was so angry after several attempts, but he didn't dare to do anything to them.

Now, these bad apples have been kicked out and the company can finally be clean.

In order to take care of Gu Xicao's time, "Master Helps You" adjusted the recording time of the program, and the scene was shot outdoors on that day.

After the recording of the show, the weather was freezing cold, but Xu Yiyang was very polite and invited everyone to go to a nearby dessert shop for a bite to eat.

"It's this dessert shop. The craftsmanship here is excellent. I often bring people here."

Xu Yiyang was obviously an old customer. When they arrived at a dessert shop, he led everyone inside and sat them down like he knew the place well.

The proprietress smiled and took the menu over, saying, "Miss Xu, you are filming today. Why don't you come over for some sweets when you have time? We just happened to have a few desserts recently. Would you like to try them?"

"Sister Li, I can't eat enough of the desserts in your store."

Xu Yiyang took the menu with a smile and handed it to everyone. She looked around and asked, "Strange, where is Ayun?"

The proprietress showed a look of distress on her face.

Her mother came over and said, "Don't mention it. I don't know what happened to Ayun recently. She's always unlucky. She almost had a gas leak and got poisoned at home. She was driving fine on the road a few days ago. I don't know if the driver was stupid. He actually rushed towards Ayun so loudly!"

"Ah?" The assistant wrote down the order, looked up and asked, "Is Sister Yun okay? Was she really hit?"

"Nothing serious has happened to her, but she has a broken bone and is in the hospital now." The lady boss sighed, holding a menu in her hand, "I was planning to wait for her to be discharged from the hospital in a few days and then accompany her to Wong Tai Sin to ask for a lucky charm. The series of accidents this year is really scary."

"Hey, why do you have to go to Wong Tai Sin? We have a little fairy here!"

Master Zhou Yilin pointed at Gu Xicao and said jokingly with a smile, "Given your family's situation, why not ask Xiao Gu to help you take a look."

Gu Xicao was originally hesitating between the red bean double skin milk and the mango sago dew. When she heard her name, she looked up and looked at the proprietress.

Xu Yiyang also came back to his senses and slapped the table: "Yeah, we are really confused. Why would we ask the gods for help when there are real people here? Sister Li, if you trust me, ask Miss Gu to help you calculate."

The lady boss was a little tempted, but a little hesitant, and hesitated: "Is it expensive?"

Gu Xicao smiled and said, "It's not expensive. You pay for the meal and I'll help you figure out what's going on."

"That's no problem. Just order more food and don't be polite to me. As long as my sister can be safe in the future, I, as her elder sister, am reluctant to take tens of thousands of yuan, but I am willing to take this little money."

While Sister Li was talking, her husband came out of the kitchen and urged her, "What are you talking to the guests about? Come in and help. Ah Hong and I are too busy to handle it."

Sister Li said, "Please wait in line. There are only Miss Xu and her group of customers here. I am asking Miss Gu to tell Ah Hong's fortune. Why don't you come over too?"

Fortune telling?

Sister Li’s husband Huang Yin squinted his eyes and looked at Gu Xicao.

Ah Hong poked her head out of the kitchen and when she saw Gu Xicao, she was stunned, a look of panic appeared on her face, and she quickly hid back in the house.

"Ah Hong?"

Sister Li called out again, and Ah Hong hurriedly said, "Sister Li, you guys can have fun. I'm not interested in these things. These sago puddings need someone to watch over them before they're cooked."

Sister Li was surprised and whispered, "That's strange. Ah Hong usually likes to do these things. Why is she not interested? Forget it, Master, can you please help me see what's going on with my sister? Has she offended any gods?"

"Fire me? For what?"

In Xirang Company, in the general manager's office, several people rushed in, the leader of which was Lin Gengjin.

Lin Gengjin's face was filled with anger. He slammed the table and said to Zhang Liang, "Boss Zhang, I want to see Miss Gu. I have worked so hard for the company. Why did the company fire me like this?"

Zhang Liang frowned when he saw Lin Gengjin's expression. "Lin Gengjin, this is the company's decision. You will be compensated accordingly. Please don't cause trouble here. Let's part ways in peace!"

"Let's part ways in peace!"

Lin Gengjin gritted his teeth. He looked at the others and said, "We have all worked hard for the company for so many years. Why should Gu Xicao fire us just because she wants to? I don't agree. Do you agree?"

Others followed suit:

"We don't agree. Why are you expelling us? What mistakes have we made?"

"That's right. We are Shirley's cousins. She is clearly seeking revenge for personal gain!"

Seeing the indignant faces of his employees, Lin Gengjin felt quite pleased. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Liang, "Boss Zhang, we have worked together for so many years, you should know that I am capable. Let me meet Miss Gu. The business we lost yesterday is lost, and I can help the company find other better projects. I have recently contacted a dessert shop, and the other party..."

Zhang Liang said nothing, took out a few documents from the drawer and threw them on the table.

"See for yourself."

Lin Gengjin and others were stunned, looked at each other, and stepped forward to pick up the documents with their names on them.

When he saw the contents of the document, Lin Gengjin's eyes twitched and the expression on his face gradually became extremely ugly.

Zhang Liang knocked on the table. He was no pushover to be the general manager.

"Over the past few years, you have made contributions to the company, but some of you have caused more trouble than contributions. If you leave now, everyone can still show some mercy. If you really continue to make trouble, these documents will be sent to Director Gu. Director Gu has always been clear about the distinction between public and private affairs. At that time, I am afraid you will be the ones who will be embarrassed."

Lin Gengjin clenched his fists, veins on his forehead throbbing. He was furious and glared at Zhang Liang, gnashing his teeth. "Okay, okay, I underestimated you!"

After saying this, he took the documents, slammed the door open, and left.

The others looked at each other in bewilderment. They dared to cause trouble simply because they thought Lin Gengjin was the leader. Zhang Liang didn't dare to say anything, but they didn't expect that Zhang Liang, who had always been as tough as a clay man, would become tough and even subdue Lin Gengjin.

Lin Gengjin quickly packed his things and went downstairs carrying the box.

Another salesperson who was also fired looked up at the office with indignation and said to Lin Gengjin, "Brother Lin, Zhang Liang is such a bastard. I didn't expect him to do this. Are we just going to accept it?"

"He wishes!"

Lin Gengjin sneered and said, "Even if I want to leave, I have to make things difficult for them before I leave. Didn't the company contact a dessert shop recently? Let's go and do some good things. If you want to achieve sales, there's no way!"

Gu Xicao pretended to pinch her fingers, then looked up and asked, "Sister Li, was your sister's car accident last Thursday?"

Sister Li nodded in amazement, "Yes, it's Thursday, Master, you are so accurate!"

"Did the master say that he was moving goods last night and felt dizzy when he woke up this morning, so he accidentally bumped into your sister?" Gu Xicao said, "Did he also say that he has a pair of children at home, his wife ran away, and his family is very poor and can't come up with any money."

Sister Li’s husband and her mother couldn’t help but widen their eyes and looked at Gu Xicao in disbelief.

If they didn't know that Gu Xicao had no way of knowing what happened, they would have doubted whether Gu Xicao saw the police interrogating the driver with her own eyes.

Mother Li couldn't help but slap her thigh and said, "That's it. That idiot made himself sound so miserable. Ah Yun and Ah Ling were soft-hearted and felt that it was unbearable to sue him and let him go to jail. After all, our two children depended on their father for support, so they cancelled the appeal. Even the medical expenses had to be paid by ourselves. How could that idiot have any money?"

Sister Li looked at her mother helplessly and said, "Mom, stop calling me 'fuck off the street' all the time. Even though the driver hit Ah Yun, I don't think he did it on purpose."

"Then you are wrong."

Gu Xicao said to Sister Li: "The driver hit your sister on purpose."

ah?

Everyone was stunned.

Sister Li opened her mouth in disbelief, "No, no, we don't know him. Why would he hit my sister for no reason?"

"Could it be that you have offended someone before and didn't realize it?"

Xu Yiyang frowned and asked with concern.

Although she was just a diner, she had known the Li sisters for many years and had developed feelings for them, so she naturally cared about them.

Sister Li waved her hands and said decisively, "Impossible. We sisters are famous for our good tempers. Even if someone doesn't have money to eat a free meal, we will at most ask him to stay and help wash some dishes. We won't offend him at all."

"Could it be that the driver was bribed to commit the crime?"

The assistant's mind was opened up and he suddenly thought of this possibility.

Xu Yiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Bribing and murder? Sister Li and her friends just opened a dessert shop, not the President of the United States. How could anyone hire someone to commit murder?"

"That may not be the case." Gu Xicao took a sip of water, raised her eyes, and glanced at Sister Li's husband. "Sometimes, someone wants to kill you, not necessarily because you are powerful, but because you just happened to block his way to make money."

Li's husband's eyelids twitched, and the smile on his face was a little forced. He said to Li, "This master is getting more and more outrageous. I won't listen anymore. I'm going to go in and do my job."

"Mr. Huang, why are you in such a hurry to leave? If you are in such a hurry, it will be easy for me to misunderstand that you are guilty."

Gu Xicao spoke up.

Huang Yin's body froze. He turned his head and pointed at his nose, looking at himself with a helpless smile. "I feel guilty, little sister. I think you are just talking nonsense because you have nothing better to do. Ah Ling, I advise you not to listen to this kind of charlatan. He knows how to scare people as soon as he opens his mouth. Our family is small, how could we offend anyone and cause them to hire someone to kill someone?"

"Then I'll ask you."

Gu Xicao crossed her arms, "You married into the Li family, and the Li family hasn't treated you badly, right? You were fine, so why did you have to kill someone? You failed the first time, so you did it a second time. The gas leak was one time, and hiring someone to drive a car and kill someone was the second time."

Xu Yiyang opened his mouth so wide that his jaw almost dropped.

She looked at the yellow seal.

There was an obvious look of guilt, panic and fear on Huang Yin's face, which proved that what Gu Xicao said might actually be true.

Mother Li's mind was in a mess. She grabbed Sister Li's hand and said, "A Ling, the master said that A Yin wanted to harm A Yun. That can't be true. A Yin doesn't seem like that kind of person."

Sister Li was no less confused and dazed than her mother at this moment.

As a wife and Ayun's sister, she was hit even harder.

But she had supported the family since she was a teenager, so even when she was panicking, she quickly forced herself to calm down, "Master, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

Huang Yin looked at Sister Li with grievance and indignation, "A Ling, what did you say? I have been married to you for so many years, and you don't believe me?!"

"It's not that I don't believe you. For your innocence, I need to ask clearly."

Sister Li shook her head and said decisively.

Gu Xicao said: "If you want evidence, of course I don't have it."

"Hey, you all heard it. This bitch herself said she has no evidence!"

Huang Yin pointed at Gu Xicao with an unfriendly tone.

Gu Xicao was a little speechless. She spread her hands and said, "I said I have no evidence, but the evidence is in someone else's hands. The driver was bribed to hit your sister with his car. There is a sum of 100,000 in cash in his home. And just by coincidence, the day before the crime, your husband went to the bank to withdraw 100,000. These things happened at the same time. It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Sister Li immediately looked at Huang Yin, "Did you really withdraw 100,000 yuan? Did you bribe the driver to harm Ayun?"

Huang Yin stepped back, "No, no, A Ling, I did withdraw 100,000, but I didn't harm A Yun."

"So where did the 100,000 yuan go?" Sister Li stared at Huang Yin, "Besides, how come I had no idea you had 100,000 yuan on hand?!"

Huang Yin broke out in a cold sweat when asked this question.

He got angry and said, "Even if I paid 100,000 yuan, who can prove that I hired someone to kill someone? We have been married for so many years, and I treat Ah Yun as my own sister. You believe that I harmed Ah Yun because of someone else's words. In the final analysis, you are the one who looks down on me. I know that when I married into your family, you didn't treat me as your own family! Everyone in your family looks down on me!"

When he said this, he looked around, picked up a bench and smashed it to the ground.

There was a loud bang.

Everyone was shocked. Huang Yin looked so furious that he looked like a mad dog.

"Don't be so unreasonable. When did our family look down on you?"

Sister Li was frightened at first, but when she came to her senses and saw Huang Yin's angry eyes, all the blood in her body rushed to her brain and she burst into anger. "You know how our family has treated you over the years. You came from the countryside, and we didn't look down on you. We even helped you sign up for night school and sent you to study. You said that studying at night school was tiring and you wanted to come back to help. We didn't say anything after you paid several thousand yuan in tuition. You also said that the work in the kitchen was too hot, so my mother specially asked someone to buy an air conditioner and install it in the back. And, you usually don't do any housework at home, it's all my mother and sister who do it. You said you wanted to eat fish in the morning, and there was braised fish on the table in the evening. This is called not treating you as a human being, so what does it take to treat you as a human being!"

Sister Li was very confident and everything she said made sense.

Even if Huang Yin wanted to go crazy, he couldn't find a legitimate reason.

Gu Xicao said: "Of course it's because he thinks you should be nice to him, and you didn't even treat him like an emperor. The worst part is that he actually has to marry into your family."

"You gossip, stop talking nonsense!"

Huang Yin was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He pointed at Gu Xicao and cursed.

Gu Xicao said, "Am I wrong? Don't you think so in your heart? Don't you think Sister Li is ungrateful? Don't you think Li Yun is an eyesore and hinders you from getting rich? Someone has set his sights on the reputation and recipe of the dessert shop, but Sister Li and her sister don't want to accept their investment. As for you, you heard that they said that as long as you accept the investment, you can become rich and become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire, so you are tempted. So, you simply teamed up with your mistress Ah Hong and took action together. You planned to kill your wife's sister first, and then find an opportunity to send your wife away. In this way, the shop can fall into your hands, and then you and your mistress can not only live in harmony, but also become rich overnight!"

Li's mother had never understood why Huang Yin became like this.

After hearing these words, how could I not understand?

She pointed at the yellow mark and said, "No wonder, no wonder you suddenly wanted to kill me. It turns out you wanted to wipe out the whole family!"
