"Ms. Li Rongyin, you just kicked me out today, and you don't even remember me?" Xu Chen looked at Tang Tiancheng's daughter-in-law with a half-smile.
"What are you doing here? Go back! This is not a place for you." Li Rongyin's way of doing things completely disgusted Tang Tiancheng, so the old man Tang simply didn't give her a kind look either.
"Dad! Who are your family members anyway?" Li Rongyin asked angrily, pointing at Xu Chen and saying, "Has he bewitched you? Has he made you abandon your son and grandson and hide in your office drinking with him?"
“Ms. Li, I’m Tang’s right-hand man, and I’ve dedicated my energy and effort to his plans. What’s wrong with having a drink in the office? But you, you’ve already got such a big problem with me. What, have I ever offended you?” Xu Chen said slowly and deliberately, looking at Li Rongyin with a mocking expression.
"You can go now." Tang Tiancheng waved his hand, signaling Li Rongyin to leave the office.
Li Rongyin glared angrily at Xu Chen, put down her food, and left.
"I'm sorry you had to see this, Xu Chen."
"Old man Tang, you've finally found yourself in the wrong, hahaha!" Xu Chen burst into laughter, finding Tang Tiancheng's embarrassed and awkward expression quite novel.
Today's conversation seemed to be a display of Tang Tiancheng's attitude, but more so a reflection of the Tang family's wavering attitude towards him. Xu Chen felt that he had done enough for Tang Tiancheng. He learned about the martial arts training plans of the various military regions in Tang Tiancheng's office, and the progress was quite smooth.
"Lili, what kind of house should we buy?" Xu Chen asked Wang Li for her opinion when they returned to the hotel.
Wang Li had just finished showering and quickly returned to bed. She hugged Xu Chen and thought about what their new home would look like. The two discussed it all night, and with one more day of classes, they set off early the next morning to look at apartments.
After more than ten days of effort, with Li Cheng's help, he bought a second-hand villa near the school for a friendly price of over 40 million yuan. The homeowner was preparing to immigrate abroad and was looking to sell the house when his old friend Li Cheng came knocking on his door.
"Lili, I'll have someone come and tidy up. Let's stay at the hotel tonight," Xu Chen said with a smile, looking at Wang Li who was looking around.
"Chenchen, did you see the swimming pool in the back? It's huge! Luckily we have Fatty, otherwise we would have had to spend a lot more money to get this villa."
"Yeah, so I'm planning to treat Fatty to dinner tonight. Let's go!"
At the hotel, Li Cheng arrived at the restaurant early, waiting for Xu Chen.
"Fatty, you're here so early?"
"I knew you guys were staying at a hotel, so I couldn't let you wait up if I didn't come earlier."
"Let's go, let's drink until we drop tonight." Xu Chen put his arm around Li Cheng's shoulder and walked into the hotel restaurant. The restaurant had a great ambiance, with Chinese-style decor, bright and spacious. Even the waiters were wearing expensive custom-made uniforms. In the middle of the restaurant, there was a rockery as tall as a person. The waiter said that the water inside was spring water. Wang Li walked closer to the rockery and carefully took a sip.
"Chenchen, it's very sweet, come and try it."
"Alright." Xu Chen squatted down next to the rockery, took a sip of spring water with his mouth, and immediately felt his mouth was incredibly cool. Then he took a big gulp.
Just as Li Cheng was helplessly watching his boss and sister-in-law's childish behavior, a mean-looking young woman walked up to the rockery and ordered her two bodyguards to pull Xu Chen and Wang Li away and kick them out of the restaurant.
Seeing this, Li Cheng quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"May I ask who you are?" Xu Chen and Wang Li turned around and looked at the young woman in front of them.
"And who are you? The spring water in this artificial hill belongs to the restaurant. We collected it from the suburbs. You've drunk from it. What will the other customers think? This restaurant will no longer do business with you. Please leave."
Upon hearing this, Wang Li's heart pounded with anxiety. She had tried the food out of curiosity after the waiter's recommendation, and now she had made a small mistake. Seeing the occasional glances thrown her way, Wang Li hid behind Xu Chen. As soon as the woman finished speaking, Xu Chen, having paid the compensation, pulled Wang Li along and, with Li Cheng in tow, turned to leave the restaurant.
"We were in the wrong, this is just a small compensation. I'm sorry." Xu Chen took out a wad of cash and handed it to the restaurant waiter. The waiter seemed about to say something, but ultimately nodded and accepted the money.
When the woman saw the money in the waiter's hand, she quickly snatched it away. She wanted to get angry at Xu Chen for ignoring her, but many customers were already looking this way and wanted to leave.
"Wait, how can they drink?" Li Cheng wanted to leave with Xu Chen, but he stopped Xu Chen, glanced at the young people near the rockery, and turned to ask the woman.
The woman didn't say anything and tried to leave. Given her temper, if several customers were causing trouble in the restaurant, she, as the "hostess," would definitely "fight to the end."
"Let's go, maybe they're someone's relative." Xu Chen pulled Li Cheng, who was in a bad mood, away from the restaurant.
The waiter wanted to remind them that the water in the artificial rockery is changed every morning and afternoon, and the owner said that curious customers could try it, but they left so quickly that the waiter gave up the idea of explaining.
The restaurant owner, surnamed Li, was coincidentally a distant relative of Li Rongyin. Having gotten close to the Tang family, he was quite diligent in his business dealings and avoided causing trouble. He never thought that his relationship with Li Rongyin gave him the right to boss around customers. When he heard that his mistress had a conflict with a customer at the restaurant, he rushed back from outside immediately.
"Did those people who just left have an appointment?" Li Jian asked after clarifying the situation, and then inquired about Xu Chen and the others.
