Chapter 99: ...I feel like I'm going to a banquet, not to an execution ground

The zoo gate.

Bai Shao, who was standing next to the jeep, looked helpless: "...I feel like I'm going to a banquet, not to the execution ground."

Su Xixi took advantage of every opportunity to pile up her armor on Bai Shao: "It's never too careful. Bring some pepper spray and enough money. We can't let them look down on us!"

Grandma Wang thought for a long time and suggested, "If it really doesn't work, we can close the shop for a day and go with you."

Mr. Huang clapped his left hand and his right hand: "This is a good idea."

Mr. Xiang raised his hand: "I agree."

Everyone nodded.

Number One stepped forward at the right moment, his tall figure revealing a sense of security. "It's highly unlikely that so many people can go. The five of us will accompany the director. We will definitely protect him."

Bai Shao: "..."

Thank you, that's not necessary.

"Like you said, I'm the boss of the animal kingdom. Who should I be afraid of?"

Bai Shao knew everyone's kindness, and she responded using Su Xixi's words while taking off her stun gun, spring knife, pepper spray and other equipment one by one.

Under everyone's caring gazes, Bai Shao had no choice but to put on a pair of special cut-resistant gloves, put a thick wad of cash into her pocket, sat in the driver's seat, fastened her seatbelt, and waved, "Okay, no need to send me off."

An hour and a half later.

Next province, Xiao family.

Bai Shao walked on the bluestone road and passed through the archway filled with balloons. She found that the balloons were full of blessings with her as the prefix. It was obviously Xiao Qiexing's masterpiece.

As you walk into the grand gate, what catches your eye is simplicity and solemnity, without any extravagance or luxury. Instead, a sense of calmness mixed with warmth comes over you.

Bai Shao looked towards the warm place, where a seven-layer ice cream cake sat on the cart.

Xiao Qie's walkers hadn't arrived yet, but the cake had arrived first. Bai Shao had seen the photo of the cake on her phone a long time ago, so she wasn't too surprised, but her heart was still warmed.

Bai Shao walked over and wanted to open the dust cover to see what was on the greeting card.

A fat servant screamed to stop them.

"What are you doing?"

"The new butler is just ignorant. If he breaks the cake, can you afford to pay for it?"

"Get out of here quickly! Your breath will pollute the air."

Before Bai Shao arrived, everyone in the Xiao family had already learned that they were about to welcome a cousin.

When everyone was waiting to see how to deal with this, Mrs. Xiao's personal servant spoke up: whoever could cause trouble for this cousin would have his bonus doubled this month.

The fat maid was secretly proud of herself, thinking that she would be the first to get the doubled bonus this time.

It was inappropriate to offend her cousin, but if the master wanted to punish her, she could also refute it. She just accidentally mistook her cousin for a servant. It was her cousin who was dressed so poorly. She thought that the master had no reason to blame her anymore.

Bai Shao paused, lowered her eyes, and glanced at the fat servant with disdain in his eyes. She exaggerated, "The Xiao family has a strict family tradition. How could there be a servant like you with an ugly face and reckless behavior? I seriously suspect that you are a spy from the enemy army who has infiltrated the Xiao family. Knowing that I was live streaming, you deliberately slandered the Xiao family in front of the camera."

Fat servant: “???”

Bai Shao took out her phone from the chest pocket of her jacket and shook her head and sighed at the viewers in the livestream room: "A tall tree attracts the wind, and even the Xiao family is inevitably affected by the ant blood. As a member of the Xiao family, I can't just sit back and watch."

Friends in the live broadcast room all agreed.

"Who would want a servant like this? Did the master pay you to be a nuisance?"

[She actually told our principal to get out!? Shouldn't we teach her a lesson?]

[Look at this decor, it's worthy of being a wealthy family. I've seen the world in my lifetime.]

If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that the host is the long-lost daughter of the Xiao family...

Bai Shao changed the subject: "How much is your monthly salary?"

The fat servant said subconsciously: "Twelve thousand."

Bai Shao took out some money from her pocket and used it to her advantage: “Here’s 50,000 yuan. You’re fired.”

Fat servant: "..."

This is different from what she imagined!

Why didn't this person play by the rules? Shouldn't she be angry at the Xiao family, angry that they actually asked her to come and greet them?!

Isn't it said that my cousin comes from a poor family and has a hard life? Why does she look so rich?

It must have been given by the Xiao family!

So, Miss Cousin is very popular and liked by the Xiao family? Then what did she do?

The fat servant swallowed all his doubts and didn't want to lose this good job that was hard to find in the market, so he tried his best to save it.

"I didn't know you were my cousin. You were so poorly dressed that I didn't recognize you. It's all my fault. Please be magnanimous and don't argue with me."

The viewers in the live broadcast room were full of questions.

【???】

[Auntie, are you okay? The anchor's orange jacket is worth over 8,000 yuan even without the lining. If she's shabby, then wouldn't my Pinduoduo outfit look like a beggar's?]

Can we find a valid excuse?

Bai Shao kept smiling: "I'm sorry, I don't have any other advantages, I just like to hold grudges."

The fat servant gritted his teeth: "You are not qualified..."

Bai Shao interrupted: "Are you sure I don't have the right to decide whether you stay or go? Do you want to ask other people in the Xiao family?"

The fat servant shook his head repeatedly as if he had thought of something.

If the news of her offending her cousin got to other people's ears, given the tempers of those young masters, she would not be simply fired.

Why did she lose her mind and give up her job just for the double bonus?

She thought that the Xiao family would fall into the hands of the eldest wife sooner or later, so it was her duty to please the future mistress of the house.

How could she forget to investigate the attitudes of other members of the Xiao family towards this cousin before taking sides?

It’s too late to say anything now!

Bai Shao covered the microphone hidden in her collar with her hand and said with a smile, "Your wife is still too young. She doesn't know that I'm good at firing people. On the first day I took over the zoo, I fired an elderly man. Goodbye, I'm the first one to stand out."

The fat servant stumbled.

She decided to offend her cousin for the sake of her wife, so her wife had to save her.

The fat servant took the compensation money to find Mrs. Xiao, but what he got in return was a closed door and the scolding of his confidant.

Aunt Wu looked down at her condescendingly, "Don't try to flatter Madam. When did Madam ever ask you to humiliate my cousin? Madam was stung by a poisonous bee and is bedridden. She doesn't want to move. You'd better watch your words!"

The fat servant was dumbfounded: "It's obviously you..."

Aunt Wu glared at her fiercely. "I was just saying that Madam is worried about her cousin and can't come to greet her in person. Whoever pleases Madam will have their bonus doubled. If you keep talking nonsense, you might as well lose your son's job."

The fat servant shrank her neck and turned pale with fear. She really had no evidence, and everything was just Aunt Wu's suggestion.

After the fat servant left in a mess, Aunt Wu pushed the door open and came in to report on her work.

"What a useless guy, he can't even make things worse."

Mrs. Xiao's skin, which was exposed to the air, was still a little red and swollen. She stopped by the window and looked at the balloons outside. The wall lamp cast a dark shadow on the soft carpet, making her standing on the carpet dim and unclear.

"I didn't count on her in the first place. Is that troublemaker from the Gu family here?"

Aunt Wu nodded, hinting, "I personally called to invite you earlier, and I even exaggerated the situation of the eldest lady. Miss Zhemin and the eldest lady are close friends, and she was raised by the old man and the old lady. She has a good relationship with the young masters. She will definitely make a fuss, and no one will dare to stop her. All you have to do is watch the show."

Mrs. Xiao was plucking the petals of the Lengmeiren roses in the vase and didn't notice a mosquito flying away.
