Upon seeing that the call was from Wang Qing, Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Wang Xueqi beside him, thought for a moment, and then walked to the side before answering the call.
Liu Xiaoyuan did this because he was afraid that Wang Xueqi would overhear his conversation with Wang Qing. If Wang Qing could return in time, that would be fine, but if she couldn't, it would only make Wang Xueqi miss her mother more and become even more disobedient.
"Hey, Wang Qing, where are you right now? Come back here right now!" Liu Xiaoyuan's tone turned fierce.
Damn it, you dumped your daughter on me, but Wang Qing is nowhere to be found. What does that mean?
If Wang Qing had told Liu Xiaoyuan the truth, Liu Xiaoyuan would have felt a little better. But every time he asked Wang Qing, she would either say it was inconvenient to talk about it, or she wouldn't talk about it, and more often than not, he couldn't even get through to her on the phone.
Wang Qing could tell that Liu Xiaoyuan was angry, and said, "General Manager, don't be angry. It was my fault. I will apologize to you when I get back."
"Don't give me that nonsense. I'm asking you, when are you coming back?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked.
This is Liu Xiaoyuan's biggest concern right now, because Wang Xueqi misses her mother more and more.
Wang Qing said, "General Manager, I will be back as soon as possible. Please take good care of Xueqi!"
Holy crap! Does that mean he won't be back anytime soon? Damn it, we agreed on a week last time, how long has it been now? Are you playing me for a fool?
"Wang Qing, are you treating me like a fool? You promised a week, tell me how long it's been now?" Liu Xiaoyuan said angrily.
"General Manager, I'm sorry!" Wang Qing apologized on the other end of the phone.
Liu Xiaoyuan was unmoved by Wang Qing's apology, saying, "Don't apologize to me. Apologies are worthless. Tell me, where are you right now? When are you coming back? Give me a straight answer!"
Wang Qing hesitated on the other end of the phone, which annoyed Liu Xiaoyuan, who urged, "Say something!"
Wang Qing then said, "General Manager, I'm in Beijing right now. As for when I'll be back, I don't know. I can only say as soon as possible. I will definitely get back as soon as possible!"
"Sooner my ass!" Liu Xiaoyuan cursed.
What does "as soon as possible" mean? It means coming back tomorrow, and coming back next year!
Wang Qing said, "General Manager, please take good care of Xueqi for me. I will apologize to you when I get back. Also, General Manager, you injured Li Yihao. The Li family may come to cause you trouble in the near future. Please be careful."
After saying that, Wang Qing hung up the phone without waiting for Liu Xiaoyuan to say anything.
It's always the same when I call Wang Qing. Before I can even say anything, she always hangs up. Damn it, is she just trying to save money on phone calls?!
After putting his phone in his pocket, Liu Xiaoyuan returned home. His mother asked, "Who called you so early?"
Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at Xueqi and said with a smile, "It was a friend who called."
Mom didn't ask any more questions and continued making breakfast with Xueqi.
Liu Xiaoyuan sat in the chair thinking about what Wang Qing had just said. She said she was in Beijing. What was she doing in Beijing?
Also, how did she know that she had injured Li Yihao and that Li Yihao's family would send people to deal with her? How did Wang Qing get this information?
All of this puzzled Liu Xiaoyuan, who couldn't find the answer.
However, since Wang Qing said that Li Yihao's family would come to cause trouble for her, it must be true.
Therefore, we need to be prepared during this period to avoid being ambushed by the Li family.
To be honest, Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't afraid of the Li family coming to retaliate against him personally; what he feared was the Li family's despicable and shameless behavior—they kidnapped his family members to blackmail him, which would be troublesome.
After having breakfast, Liu Xiaoyuan stayed at home for a while before going to work.
Around 10 a.m., Lin Xin arrived at the hotel. To protect Lin Xin's safety, the police were on high alert, leading the hotel staff to believe that something had happened at their hotel.
Lin Xin came to Liu Xiaoyuan's office in person. Originally, the Tang brothers, Wen and Wu, wanted to come in, but Liu Xiaoyuan glared at them, and the two brothers obediently stood outside the door, guarding the entrance like bodyguards.
"Uncle Lin, what brings you here?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked happily.
Lin Xin said, "I came here today for two reasons: first, to thank you for saving my life, and second, to apologize to Xiao Yuan."
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "Uncle Lin, there's no need for thanks. What's there to apologize for?"
Lin Xin said, "This apology is naturally because Uncle Lin didn't believe in your skills before, Xiao Yuan. But after what happened last night, I realized that I was just a frog in a well, arrogant and ignorant..."
Seeing Lin Xin's self-blame, Liu Xiaoyuan quickly said, "Uncle Lin, please don't say that."
Then Lin Xin said, "Xiao Yuan, you saved my son and me last night. We have nothing to thank you for, so we can only give you some money as a token of our gratitude."
When Liu Xiaoyuan heard that Lin Xin was going to give him money as a thank you gift, he remembered that Lin Xin and his son had given him ten million yuan when he saved Lin Dayu's life last time. He wondered how much Lin Xin would give him this time.
"Although giving money might seem a bit vulgar, we really can't live without money in this world. Xiao Yuan, I've already had the company's finance department transfer 20 million to your card from last time. Although this amount is a bit small for the lives of my son and me, please don't feel awkward about it, Xiao Yuan."
Lin Xin smiled apologetically and said that he knew that 20 million was indeed too little compared to the lives of him and his son, but Yuanda Group was currently investing and building, and it was a time when they needed money, so this was all he could offer for the time being.
We can only compensate Liu Xiaoyuan later, when these investments and constructions are on track and can generate profits.
However, 20 million is already a lot for Liu Xiaoyuan.
You know, many people don't earn 20 million in their entire lives, so I'm already very satisfied that I have it so easily now.
Back when I first graduated, I braved the scorching sun to send out resumes everywhere, casting a wide net, hoping that a company would hire me.
In the end, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without even a ripple.
At that time, Liu Xiaoyuan had lost hope in life and thought that he would live a meaningless life like this forever.
But who would have thought that in just one month, Liu Xiaoyuan would have undergone a complete transformation?
Liu Xiaoyuan is now a wealthy man with assets of 30 million yuan. It can be said that even ordinary small business owners do not have as much wealth as Liu Xiaoyuan.
People should learn to be content, and Liu Xiaoyuan is someone who is easily satisfied.
Originally, Liu Xiaoyuan's motivation for rescuing Lin Xin and his son wasn't the reward, but rather the friendship between them.
"Uncle Lin, I can't accept this money. I helped you this time because I valued my relationship with you and Grandpa Lin, not because of the money," Liu Xiaoyuan refused.
Lin Xin said, "Of course I know that, but please make sure you accept this money, Xiao Yuan. Otherwise, I'll be too embarrassed to ask you for help next time!"
