An annoying former colleague
**
Things have been going so smoothly lately that Xueluo always feels that things are not that simple. Her right eyelid has been twitching. If this is according to what Lan Xing said in the past, then she will be in disaster in the near future.
Especially when I saw my former colleague Zhou Daguo appear in my store, it felt like my vision had come true.
"Hey, Xueluo, it's been a long time since we last met. Do you miss me?" Zhou Daguo started by saying something that would definitely be reported for harassment. He confidently stood in front of the counter, posing and looking after her "affectionately."
The regular customer in the store had already left, and he took advantage of the fact that there were only the two of them in the store to act a little unscrupulously.
What a big face!
Xueluo was stunned, and even the white cat curled up nearby raised its head to look at this crazy man.
"Why do you have that expression?" Zhou Daguo frowned unsatisfiedly after not receiving the response he expected. "Xueluo, it's only been less than two months, and you've already forgotten me?"
"Mr. Zhou, please speak politely." Even the guest who had just come in glanced at the two of them with strange eyes, then took his things and left.
Zhou Daguo was an ordinary-looking man, but he tried to dress himself up to look like a stunningly handsome man, which made his ugliness even more distinctive. Add to that his absolutely narcissistic and self-confident attitude, and almost every girl who saw him would frown, thinking to herself that they should stay as far away from such a man as possible.
"Xue Luo, why don't you speak to me nicely? You were not like this in the past!" He looked at Xue Luo with a look that said "you have changed".
Xue Luo: "..." Forget it, there's no way to tell the truth about this guy. At this moment, memories of the past emerged in her mind. This narcissistic former male colleague always pestered her and thought she had a crush on him.
No, in the past, "she" was only focused on work, worried that she wouldn't be able to get a permanent job, and after getting a permanent job, she wanted to get more overtime pay. She had no interest in love, let alone a man like Zhou Daguo. Which normal woman would be interested in him?
"Mr. Zhou, although we were colleagues in the past, we are just colleagues. I hope you can show some respect." At this time, Xue Luo, as the owner of the store, still gave some respect to the customers who came to his store, so it was just a warning.
The white cat crouched beside Xueluo's hand, glaring at Zhou Daguo with a fierce look. Both of them, the cat, had the same expression, and even Zhou Daguo was dissatisfied. "Xueluo... okay, okay, we're all colleagues, and we used to... have a good relationship! I see..." He glanced around the store with a very satisfied expression, "You've really been doing better and better since you left. I saw what people said online, and I didn't expect that in the past three years, you've been so amazing that you've developed so many popular snacks! You didn't know that last week, the CEO of Ruyun Snacks specifically mentioned you at the meeting. Do you know what he said?"
Xueluo wasn't concerned or curious, but she felt uncomfortable with the strange person who was getting closer and closer. She was holding a bottle of mineral water and put it on the table. Zhou Daguo was startled. "Xueluo, what are you doing? Don't be so nervous even if you treat me to a drink of water?"
He was about to grab the mineral water from Xueluo's hand, but before he even got close, he was scratched by a sharp cat claw.
"Ah!" Zhou Daguo screamed in pain, "Dead cat!" He had just cursed when he met a pair of blue eyes like the faint phosphorescent lights in front of a grave. His heart shuddered, and his other intact hand was intercepted by Xue Luo halfway before he could swing it down.
Xueluo protected the white cat, "What are you going to do!"
Xue Luo, who was always gentle and sunny, suddenly turned cold, which easily reminded Zhou Daguo of her past self. However, the girl in front of him seemed to be even more powerful than before.
Zhou Daguo bared his teeth, "...You're so cruel! Give me the medical expenses!"
He couldn't hide his fierceness any more now, and he didn't even care about the rapidly swollen redness on his hands, and actually moved forward. Xueluo was about to throw something and call for help, but it happened in the blink of an eye, and she didn't even know what happened.
Zhou Daguo was already lying on the ground, having fallen heavily.
His hand also hurt, and when he looked at the white cat that was raising its body to protect Xue Luo, fear appeared in his eyes. His own hand suddenly hurt a lot and was strangely bruised.
"Just wait!" After Zhou Daguo said this harsh words, "It hurts—"
After Zhou Daguo said this harsh word, his face was twisted in pain and he immediately left the supermarket and went to the hospital.
But he had just stepped out of the store when he met a pair of cruel and cold eyes. The scar on the middle-aged man's face made him scared.
"Are you here to cause trouble?"
Zhou Daguo gritted his teeth and said, "No, no, it's all a misunderstanding!!!" He recognized the man in front of him. In the past few years, every time he came here to see Xueluo, he was glared at. He was Xueluo's neighbor.
Zhou Daguo protected his bruised hand and ran very fast.
Xue Luo, who was in the house, was speechless when she saw this scene. It turned out that he was still bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.
But if he dares to come again next time, I will definitely teach him a severe lesson.
**
Zhou Daguo's face was dark after seeing the doctor, "Quack! I think he is a quack!" He was just scratched by a cat, but the doctor said he was scratched by a wild beast, and said that he was lucky, otherwise he would have died on the spot. He used this as an excuse to charge him a full thousand star coins for medical expenses!
"No, I have to go to their house to ask for medical expenses!" But when he thought of the brutal mechanic next door who had happened to him after he came out of the small supermarket not long ago, he suddenly became discouraged and didn't dare to go!
But he really couldn't swallow this!
He didn't know what he suddenly thought of, and a malicious look appeared in his eyes!
She deserves it!
Bitch!
He had heard that Xueluo's homemade snacks, some kind of Chinese snack, were incredibly popular online, attracting many influential figures, so he came to ask her. It would be best if she could provide him with some recipes. Given their past friendship, that would be easy. But who would have thought that before anything was even mentioned, he would be caught by her cat!
It turns out that women become bad once they have money!
No, no, no! That's probably just her nature! I wonder how she's managed to secretly come up with so many snack recipes over the past three years! Their boss, Ruyun, even asked everyone to learn from her.
vomit!
Yes, how could a woman who could even send her own father to jail be a good person?
Zhou Daguo, who was full of resentment, immediately posted a message on a well-known anonymous forum on Starnet, writing about it in great detail.
[Title: Revealing the unknown secrets of Chinese snack shops!
Posted by: Being handsome is a fault
Content of the post: As a former colleague of the owner of Hua Xia Snack Shop, let me reveal a secret to you all. Let me be frank. This Boss Xue that everyone likes is not a good person. He worked at Ruyun Snacks for the past three years. Yes, his job was a snack R&D assistant. The result... He didn't have any outstanding works while on the job. As soon as he left, these snack recipes popped up like mushrooms after rain. Don't you find it strange?
... (omitted below)
Haha, follow me, more truths will be revealed in the future! 】
The post was incredibly eye-catching, and it happened to be about the Huaxia Snack Shop, a shop that even the recently celebrated actress Tang Yingyu had been praising. The internet was abuzz with praise, and then someone suddenly appeared, revealing so much information about the shop owner, completely catching the attention of netizens. It quickly became a viral sensation, and within an afternoon, it had been shared across all major websites and platforms.
Of course, some sober netizens raised objections: "Wait, isn't it a bit inappropriate to directly expose people's information like this? Besides, even Ruyun Snacks hasn't said anything, so aren't you just imagining things?"
[Could it be jealousy? I remember that Ms. Xue from Huaxia Snack Shop refused all offers from major snack manufacturers to buy her recipe, saying she didn't want us snack lovers to be backstabbed. Based on this alone, I absolutely believe her!]
[Blackie? Where's the evidence? You're alleging that Boss Xue wasn't doing her job. Is it possible that these snack recipes were also stolen from Ruyun? Goodness, Ruyun isn't even that brazen, and you're the first to gasp?]
…
Zhou Daguo looked at the increasingly popular posts, and the malicious smile on his face grew wider and wider. Of course, as for those who spoke soberly or those who were fans of the China Snack Shop, he simply blocked them and ignored them.
"Fight me! You're still too young!"
He was just waiting for this post to gain popularity, ideally to ruin Xueluo's reputation! So he spent the entire afternoon staring at the news on the smart computer, unwilling to leave for even a second. Just then, he refreshed the post and suddenly found that the entire post had disappeared.
A prompt pops up: [Hello, poster, your post has been reported multiple times. The working group believes that your post violates the rules of this group and has been deleted. If you have any objections, you can appeal in the background!]
"What the hell!" Zhou Daguo stood up immediately, his face darkening. He had been complaining to the forum administrators, but his complaints were always rejected. "This is simply a one-man show!"
Zhou Daguo was also immediately irritated.
This is not the end yet!
Then, his phone rang again. Seeing it was from the company, Zhou Daguo was also annoyed. "Why are you calling this weekend?" Although he complained like this, how could he not dare to answer the phone because he was afraid of the strong and bullied the weak? As soon as the call was connected, his boss asked, "Did you post that post on the XX forum?"
Zhou Daguo hesitated.
"Zhou Daguo, Zhou Daguo! Please don't cause trouble for us at Ruyun Snacks. The higher-ups are planning to collaborate with Xueluo! Are you posting this because you wish the collaboration would fall through?"
After being lectured by his boss for nearly half an hour, Zhou Daguo's face turned red and then white, and then white and then red again. He gritted his teeth, and was finally forced by his boss to call and apologize to Xue Luo.
It's so frustrating!
Thinking about his experience today, he wanted to go crazy, but at this moment, he suddenly found that someone had contacted him in the background of the forum.
[Hello, is this Zhou Daguo from Ruyun Snacks?]
Seeing his real name online, Zhou Daguo was so frightened that he almost died. As his brain waves typed, it seemed as if his soul was trembling.
【what you up to! 】
【I want to meet you. I think we should have something in common. 】
A business card was quickly handed over, but it was withdrawn within three seconds. However, Zhou Daguo still saw the words "R&D Director of Lejia Group" on it. His brows twitched rapidly, and he thought of the rumors on Starnet that Lejia wanted to buy the formula of Huaxia Snack Shop...
And now Director Le Jia has come to see him again, maybe... this is his chance!
【good! 】
Maybe he can use this opportunity to jump to a higher level and work in Lejia Group.
Zhou Daguo thought happily, what was more important was that he could vent his anger!
Li Hai felt relieved after hanging up the phone. It is never too late to use a knife to kill someone else!
Last time it was this snow that was lucky!
Of course, he is also a cautious and timid person. In the end, he paid hush money to Xie Jun so that the matter was not exposed. The price he paid was that he had to get Xie Jun out later!
"What bad luck!"
This time, let Zhou Daguo take the lead. After all, he is a former colleague, so whatever he says is more trustworthy! Li Hai thought proudly, but also a little cautiously. This Xue Luo has such good luck, always able to solve crises by accident. Although he wants her formula, he dare not take action for the time being, for fear that it will directly affect him!
With Li Hai's promise, Zhou Daguo was completely unfazed. Having his post deleted from the XX forum didn't matter; he could still stir up trouble on other platforms like Xingbo and Xingwang. He threw all the dirt on the internet, and within a few days, this seemingly unfounded rumor about his former colleague went viral online. Fans and regulars at Huaxia Snack Shop were skeptical, of course, but the netizens and passersby who came to watch the fun were starting to believe it.
A man is innocent if he is in possession of a treasure.
Even Wu Xu, who didn't pay much attention to StarNet, noticed it.
He also remembered Garland's words at this time, and understood more clearly the meaning of his smiling and speechless expression at that time. There are always some people who do some despicable things for the sake of immediate gains. Unfortunately, they don't know that they are offending a star healer who will rise in the future.
Otherwise, if I knew, I would have been scared a long time ago.
"Luoluo, I think there must be someone behind this."
Xueluo was also very upset. Thinking back to the past period, these disgusting things came to her mind in waves. "Well, Uncle Wu, I will take care of this matter."
Wu Xu was about to say that he would help but was suddenly blocked. "...Well, if it's on your side..."
Xueluo didn't really listen, and for a moment she didn't hear what Wu Xu said next. She just smiled and replied, "I'll contact Ruyun Snacks and ask them what's going on over there!"
Although Xue Luo had already vaguely guessed that the person who spread the rumors online was probably Zhou Daguo.
But she never expected that the culprit would dare to come to the small supermarket!
