Chapter 179 Don't be fooled by his appearance; this guy is a beast in human form.

Zhou Songyan frowned slightly: "I won't see you."

Sun Yuanjie: "I'll go and send them away."

After being kicked out of Rongzheng Group, Guan's parents sat on the lawn, looking at the towering office building in front of them, their faces full of anger.

Guan's mother: "What should we do? Zhou Songyan won't see us, so we can't ask him for money."

Mr. Guan said indignantly, "You're so rich, what's wrong with giving us some money to spend? Rich people are so stingy!"

Guan's mother said, "Xiao Qing is locked up in a mental hospital. Let's go see her first. That girl is full of tricks, maybe she can find a way. We need to get Zhou Songyan to release Xiao Qing and give us a large sum of money as compensation."

Father Guan: "Let's do it this way."

The two stood up, dusted themselves off, and headed to the mental hospital.

Sun Yuanjie entered the office to report: "President Zhou, Guan Qing's parents have left."

Zhou Songyan nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Go out, get ready for the meeting."

...

Li Mai was pruning flowers in the sunroom when You Huan called.

"Senior, are you having fun at home?"

"MaiMai, let's not talk about this now. I'll send you a video so you can take a look."

You Huan hung up the phone after she finished speaking.

With a ding, a new link appeared on my phone.

Li Mai clicked on it.

In the video, an elderly couple is seen holding a banner and standing downstairs at Rongzheng Group.

Ignoring the security guards' attempts to drive them away, they loudly protested.

"Dear netizens, we are Guan Qing's parents. Our daughter saved Zhou Songyan, the boss of Rongzheng Group, three years ago. He is ungrateful and has now sent our daughter to a mental hospital to torture her."

“We want to find Zhou Songyan to demand an explanation, but they are blocking us from seeing her. Our poor daughter, she is so pitiful!”

"I've heard that netizens are all kind and helpful, please help us."

"Yes, please help us."

Li Mai glanced at the comments; there were already over ten thousand, and they were almost all criticizing Zhou Songyan.

[Damn it! Has Zhou's heart been burned black? How could he treat his savior like this?]

[A mental hospital is worse than being in jail. I heard you'll be pricked with needles, electrocuted, and forced to take tons of medication.]

[Ungrateful and abusive – how can such a person be a boss? Are there any employees of Rongzheng Group who can list their boss's crimes?]

Someone immediately chimed in: "[That's me. I used to work at Rongzheng Group. It's a place that eats you alive. They withheld my wages, the cafeteria food was worse than pig food, there was no overtime pay, and they didn't offer any compensation when they fired me. It's horrible. Think twice before working at Rongzheng Group.]"

[Really? I even submitted my resume to Rongzheng Group! Should I go?]

Don't go, don't go! They'll kill you if you go.

[Hey upstairs, did they hire you?]

[...]

[We've gone off-topic. Let's all try to help this elderly couple; they're so pitiful!]

[Everyone, go to Rongzheng Group's official website and leave messages to curse that Zhou guy to death.]

[Let's show what this guy surnamed Zhou looks like, and then everyone can curse at his profile picture.]

No, I can't find any photos of Zhou Songyan online.

Someone posted a picture.

[This was a screenshot I saved earlier.]

[...]

【Wow, is he really that handsome?】

Don't be fooled by his appearance; he's a monster in human form.

...

Li Mai was both angry and amused.

Are all these people idiots?

She called Zhou Songyan, but the line was busy.

Thinking that Zhou Songyan was probably very busy, she didn't call again.

...

Sun Yuanjie stood in front of his desk, looking at his boss's gloomy face, and asked, "I'll find someone to take down the trending topic and ban Guan Qing's parents' accounts."

A snap.

Zhou Songyan threw her phone on the table: "No need, it makes me feel scared."

"But……"

"Don't worry about what's happening online. Go and investigate something for me."

...

After Sun Yuanjie left, Zhou Songyan called Li Mai back.

"Don't worry about what happened online, I'll handle it. You just go about your business. Also, don't go out these next few days, and don't let Chengcheng go to kindergarten."

Li Mai looked worried: "Is it serious?"

Zhou Songyan reassured her, "It's a small matter for me, I'll handle it quickly."

Li Mai felt that he was comforting himself.

"Zhou Songyan, be careful and come home early tonight."

"Okay, wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mai opened a webpage.

Mr. and Mrs. Guan posted another video, which received a lot of likes.

Li Mai knew that Zhou Songyan had the ability to remove trending topics and ban accounts, but he didn't.

What plans should Zhou Songyan have?

With that thought in mind, Li Mai was less worried.

...

Li Mai was cooking when she heard the sound of a car in the yard and immediately ran out.

As soon as Zhou Songyan got out of the car, he saw Li Mai standing at the door.

She was dressed in beige loungewear, gentle and beautiful; just her presence brought him a sense of peace.

That's why he couldn't wait to go home.

Someone at home is waiting for him.

Zhou Songyan closed the car door, strode up the steps, picked up Li Mai, and carried her into the house.

"Wearing so little and still going outside."

Li Mai hugged his neck: "It's okay, not too cold."

"Put me down, there's still something cooking in the pot."

Zhou Songyan didn't put her down; he carried her to the kitchen and only put her down once they were inside.

"What are you stewing? It smells so good!"

"The old duck soup is almost ready. You can go out and wait."

Zhou Songyan's phone rang just then. He bent down and kissed Li Mai on the lips, then took the phone and went outside.

Li Mai covered her mouth and laughed.

While she was cooking, Zhou Songyan was still on the phone. He had just hung up one call when the next one came in.

Li Mai set out the meal, walked over to Zhou Songyan, and took his phone after he finished a phone call.

"Alright, let's eat first."

Even the most important things must be addressed before eating.

Zhou Songyan smiled and followed her into the restaurant to sit down.

Chengcheng is already seated.

After the meal, Li Mai returned the phone to Zhou Songyan: "You can get back to work now."

Zhou Songyan pinched her cheek, opened his phone, and went upstairs.

Li Mai tidied up the kitchen, took a shower, and fell asleep in bed while waiting, but Zhou Songyan still hadn't returned.

The next morning, when she woke up, Zhou Songyan came out of the dressing room after changing into a suit: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."

Li Mai: "Are you going to the company so early?"

Zhou Songyan fastened his cufflinks: "Yeah, I have something to take care of."

He walked to the bedside and kissed Li Mai on the forehead: "I'm leaving."

"Yes, drive carefully."

Zhou Songyan left, and Li Mai picked up her phone to read the news. Guan's parents posted new videos, and internet celebrities even filmed them. Now the situation is even more serious.

She doesn't look at the stock market, but she glanced at the stock performance of Rongzheng Group yesterday.

It dropped by five percent.

This is a significant fluctuation for Rongzheng Group.
