Chapter 20 The Boss Behind the Scenes



"I'm so anxious, big brother, can you wait for me?"

Xiao Xi ran away without a trace. Before he could come over, the vendor who was selling hairpins came running with a big box in his hand.

"Stop right there! You son of a bitch! You even bully me? I'm the most beautiful girl in our village. Everyone knows me. I've even been seen in the newspapers selling ancient hairpins. There's also news about me online. I'm a bit of an internet celebrity. How dare you bully me? You're rebelling! Believe it or not, I'll expose you."

"That's him, catch him."

I don’t know whether it was the security guard who saw the man outside who reported him, or Ji Nianqin who led the people from the roast duck restaurant over, but in any case, I’m afraid the man is not well.

He quickened his pace, deeply understanding that everything in the 21st century requires money, a fact he didn't have. This fact would probably be etched firmly in his wrinkles for the rest of his life.

"Don't worry, big brother. I packed some fried chicken and beer for you. Go back and try some. I heard that when the first snow comes..."

Xiao Xi, like she was filming an idol drama, tried her best to create romantic encounters time and time again, but the man's frantic running made her look extremely awkward, completely losing the coolness she had when she was half-lying in the kitchen.

"I'll cover you, don't worry, big brother, you should leave quickly."

Xiao Xi was panting heavily in the back, throwing away everything in her hands. The beer bottle rolled several circles on the ground, but Xiao Xi never saw the man look back.

"Stop chasing."

Xiao Xi stared at the man. His anxious footsteps almost knocked down the stairs.

"Miss, you're not hurt, are you? Did we act well? This is the style we need to use to catch someone like him who eats and dine without paying."

"It's terrible. You scared everyone away, and you were holding hands with a girl. He clearly said that physical contact between men and women shouldn't happen, but when I got closer to him, he pushed me away and said it was so shameless. But look at them getting on the bus one after the other, it seems more harmonious. You successfully brought together a couple who were about to break up. You're amazing."

Xiao Xi was sarcastically criticizing a group of people in black from the roast duck restaurant. On the bustling pedestrian street, they all lowered their heads and stood out. The elderly who didn't know what was going on thought that there were going to be new moves in the square dance.

"Excuse me, miss, why did you lie to him? Why not just tell him you're the owner of a roast duck restaurant?"

"Again, I'm not, my parents are, but they're dead."

"But they want you to be happy. If he finds out you've been playing tricks on him in the future, will he still accept you, Miss?"

"Have you ever lost both your parents overnight? You'll never understand how I feel. If I tell him I'm from a wealthy family, what's the probability of him meeting a scumbag? Scientific research shows it's 99.985%. If he thinks I'm broke and still wants to be with me, then I'll tell him. If he turns around and leaves, it means he has low self-esteem. A person with negative energy can't be with me for the rest of my life."

"Miss, how could you like him? Look at how he's dressed. It's so cold, and he's only wearing long-sleeved shirts and long johns. They even have advertising slogans printed on them. He looks like the assistant of some hot pot restaurant or photography studio. If you go find him, will the Madam and Master in heaven be satisfied?"

"What do you know? His eyebrows are pitch black. I once had my fortune told, and it said my future husband would have thick eyebrows with gray-black tails. That way, he'd have a strong life and could ward off disasters in my family. I was young then, only in elementary school, so of course I didn't believe it. As a result, my parents met with an unexpected tragedy, and I regret it so much... Hey, I also noticed his trouser legs. There's a photo studio with good news printed on them. Go check it out for me."
