Liu Zi yawned. She hadn't slept much last night and was exhausted.
Since the room was already booked, Liu Zi didn't say anything more and pushed her luggage upstairs.
Back on the mainland, Liu Zi felt much more relaxed, both physically and mentally. After taking a shower, she buried herself in the blankets and fell into a deep sleep.
When she woke up again, the city lights were already on.
Liu Zi rubbed her eyes and grabbed her phone from the bedside table.
There were more than 20 incoming calls and over 30 text messages, most of which were from Wang Jian.
"Oh no!"
Why was his phone on silent? Liu Zi sat up abruptly and quickly called him back.
"Hey boss, you finally answered the phone! If I don't hear from you soon, I'm heading to Hong Kong tomorrow." Wang Jian's anxious voice immediately came through the receiver.
"Sorry, I overslept and my phone is on silent. Have you arrived in Shenzhen?"
“Yes, I flew here with Attorney Rong. We just arrived in Shenzhen three hours ago.” Wang Jian sounded a little nervous when he talked about it. It was his first time flying like this, and he was very grateful to Attorney Rong for taking care of him.
"What happened, boss? I couldn't reach you, so I called Director Wang's assistant, but he gave a vague and ambiguous answer," Wang Jian said anxiously. He had received a message from his boss this morning and immediately called the hotel where his boss had stayed.
The receptionist said the owner had checked out and wouldn't say anything more.
He then called back the number that had sent the voicemail, but no one answered.
If Wang Jian hadn't managed to contact the boss, he would have called Liu's father, Liu Daqiang.
Liu Zi's face turned cold as she recounted everything that had happened the previous night.
How could they do this?
Wang Jian felt his worldview was shattered. How could people be so shameless? Their boss had gone to Hong Kong to help them revise the script for free, and they actually repaid kindness with enmity.
“Boss, Attorney Rong is right next to me. He said the other party is suspected of committing a crime,” Wang Jian said indignantly.
“Aside from the hotel incident, we have no other evidence,” Liu Zi said calmly.
"Boss, what's their purpose in doing this? You haven't offended them." Wang Jian couldn't understand; the cooperation had been going quite well before.
"I think they saw that I came to Hong Kong alone, so they wanted to keep me there so I could keep writing songs or scripts for them!" Liu Zi had a vague guess last night.
Considering the hesitant expressions Director Wang had given her over the past few days, Liu Zi felt she had hit the nail on the head.
"What?"
"How could they be so shameless!"
Why is Hong Kong in such a chaotic situation?
"Boss, let's not go there anymore, it's too scary."
Wang Jian's shrill shouts made Liu Zi's ears hurt.
She moved the microphone away a little to let the guy calm down.
"Boss, where are you now? Do you need me to come and protect you?" Wang Jian asked nervously.
“I’ve arrived in Shenzhen and am staying at the Nanhai Hotel. It’s 6 o’clock now. Around 7 o’clock, you and Lawyer Rong can come over so we can have dinner together and talk.”
Liu Zi has come to terms with it. It's not like she's staying in a five-star hotel every day. Since she has the opportunity, she might as well enjoy it. It's not like she can't afford it; she's quite good at making money.
Liu Zi cheered herself up.
"The South China Sea? Boss, you're really going all out!"
Wang Jian was astonished. He had bought a plane ticket this morning and was going to eat and stay at the Nanhai Hotel. He couldn't even imagine how much his boss would spend in a day.
"Stop being so cheeky! How far do you live? Hurry up and take a taxi over!"
Liu Zi rubbed her messy hair and stretched.
I must say, the bed at the Nanhai Hotel is really comfortable, and the bedding is of good quality too. I wish I could buy a few sets to take home.
"Okay, our place should be not far from there, let's set off right away."
After relieving his worries, Wang Jian was excited; he was going to have dinner at a five-star hotel.
If I tell his mother later, she'll definitely keep calling me "my mother."
As for Li Mu, he went back to his room to shower and didn't sleep. He had also been working late last night, getting no more sleep than Liu Zi.
He sighed, wondering what he had just said that was so rude.
Why bring up 50,000 yuan?
Li Mu was simply angry that Liu Zi was so eager to sever ties with him. She could borrow 200,000 yuan from Lin Yizhou, whom she had only known for a few months, for working capital, so why was he only thinking about settling the debt once and for all?
Yizhou said that the woman had just bought a house and still owed the bank a loan, so it would be very difficult for her to come up with 50,000 yuan right now.
Li Mu felt a little soft-hearted upon thinking about this.
Forget it, I won't argue with her anymore. Since she's so eager to pay back the money, let's settle it by having her work done in lieu of repayment.
Li Mu's main purpose in coming to Shenzhen this time was to build an online shopping platform. Since the idea came from Liu Zi, let her continue to follow up!
With the matter resolved, Li Mu was now feeling very hungry. He glanced at the time and prepared to go downstairs for dinner.
He hesitated for a moment, but still asked Xu Er to call Liu Zi to come along.
But when he saw Xu Er, he found out that the other man was not in the room and had gone somewhere.
Li Mu frowned and took out his phone. Just as he was about to call Liu Zi, he heard Xu Da say that he had seen Liu Zi.
He looked up and saw the woman who had been giving him the cold shoulder that morning now smiling sweetly as she ate with two men.
Li Mu's face immediately turned cold.
He strode over and stood at the three-person table.
When Liu Zi looked up and saw the man's cold face, her smile immediately faded.
"May I ask who you are?"
Upon seeing this, Wang Jian immediately stood up, ready to protect his boss.
Unexpectedly, he was tripped by Xu Da, who was standing next to him, and almost fell to the ground.
Liu Zi was startled and quickly got up to help him.
Upon seeing this, Li Mu's eyes twitched slightly, and his fists clenched quietly.
Are you alright?
Liu Zi pulled the person over and looked them up and down.
"Boss, I'm fine! I was just startled." Wang Jian rubbed his head sheepishly.
Upon hearing Wang Jian's reply, Xu Da and Xu Er both breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this young man is not as good-looking as the eldest, he is young!
They thought Ms. Liu liked this style, but they didn't expect it to be her employee.
Xu Er immediately stepped forward and apologized: "I'm sorry, young man, my brother is a bit impulsive, please don't take it to heart!"
"It's okay!" Wang Jian rubbed his head; he didn't actually know how he had tripped.
“Let’s talk!” Li Mu suddenly said.
"What should we talk about?"
Liu Zi wasn't going to give them a friendly look this time. Wang Jian might not know, but how could she not?
