"Lanlan...?" General Manager Zhu blinked and stared at Li Xiaolong, his voice suddenly dropping. "Li Xiaolong, tell me honestly, what exactly is your relationship with Xia Lanlan?"
"No...it's nothing, it's just...it was just that she mentioned it...when she brought me food." Hearing Mr. Zhu's question, Li Xiaolong's voice immediately softened, and he began to stammer, his gaze towards Mr. Zhu becoming somewhat evasive.
"Nothing to do with her? She's been a widow for four years, why has she been talking about you so much lately? And I've also heard from the staff that this month, she's been rushing to bring you meals every time, and it takes her an hour or two to do it?" General Manager Zhu stared at Li Xiaolong suspiciously.
“I…how would I know…I…I just told her…that my salary hasn’t increased at all…” Li Xiaolong became even more nervous as he listened to Mr. Zhu’s questioning.
"Let me tell you the truth, Li Xiaolong, don't get carried away. Xia Lanlan is not someone you can touch. If you do something stupid, even the King of Heaven can't protect you!" Boss Zhu threatened Li Xiaolong with bloodshot eyes.
“You…you’re no good at that and yet…you still want to monopolize Lanlan…” Li Xiaolong stared in astonishment as President Zhu revealed a shocking piece of information.
"No...no? Who are you saying no? What are you saying no to me? What are you saying no to me? You..." General Manager Zhu was furious, glaring at Li Xiaolong and repeatedly asking questions, his words becoming stuttered with anger.
"You...you get out of here! Get the hell out of here! I...I'm firing you!"
The situation seemed to have far exceeded Li Xiaolong's expectations. He stared at General Manager Zhu in astonishment, completely unprepared for the fact that he was about to be fired. Didn't Lanlan tell him beforehand that she had a handle on General Manager Zhu and that asking him for a raise would definitely work?
Why didn't Lanlan talk to President Zhu beforehand? Now she's going to be fired by President Zhu?
"You...you dare fire me? I'll tell the whole world that this 'Blazing Sun Beauty' is a complete scam. It's just fish bone powder and flour. Only the sample has a little bit of aphrodisiac herb..." Li Xiaolong went all out and threatened President Zhu.
"Good lad, I didn't know you had this in mind? Fine, fine, if I scare you, I might as well not be a Zhu anymore. Get the hell out of here! Go ahead and yell at me right now, and see what you can do to me! Get out! Get the hell out of here!"
Mr. Zhu was so angry that he laughed, but then roared angrily. He picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee dodged it, and the teacup smashed against the wall with a "crack" and shattered. Seeing this, Mr. Zhu grabbed the telephone on the table.
Seeing that things were going badly, Bruce Lee hurriedly fled the office. He stumbled downstairs and ran towards the nearby gate.
Before he could even reach the gate, the phone rang in the guardhouse. Two men in security uniforms, who looked like they hadn't woken up yet, answered the phone, came out of the guardhouse, and approached Li Xiaolong with unfriendly expressions.
As the two security guards approached, Li Xiaolong immediately realized something was wrong. He turned and headed towards the factory area. The two security guards exchanged a glance, one turned back towards the gate, while the other continued to chase after him.
At the same time, several doors on the ground floor of the building where General Zhu was located opened one after another, and several men carrying sticks and dressed in disheveled clothes crawled out.
Wang Yao's "sensory perception" closely followed Bruce Lee, and he saw him running towards the "synthesis workshop" where he was.
The synthesis workshop was a dead end, with only one door leading out. If Bruce Lee went in, wouldn't he be trapped like a turtle in a jar by these guys?
Wang Yao shook his head. Although this "lonely" nemesis was full of energy, his mind was obviously not very clear. He swayed and half of his body was poked out from the door. Li Xiaolong, who was running towards the synthesis workshop, was startled when he suddenly saw a figure emerge from the factory.
In his haste, he didn't bother to tell whether Wang Yao was one of the security guards. He was just shocked at how fast these guys had arrived and how they had blocked his escape route. In his haste, he had no choice but to turn and run toward the nearby wall.
Wang Yao deliberately lagged behind half a beat as he emerged from the synthesis workshop, chasing after Bruce Lee.
"What are you dawdling over there for? Hurry up!" At this moment, the security guard who had caught up first had reached the door of the synthesis workshop. He also did not realize that Wang Yao had come in from the outside. He shouted at Wang Yao as he ran.
Wang Yao glanced at the security guard who was rushing over from behind. He saw that although the guy was a burly man, he was obviously out of shape. He was already panting after running for only a short while. Therefore, he was inevitably annoyed by Wang Yao's unhurried and dawdling manner.
"You son of a bitch, if you've got the guts, don't try to climb over the wall!" Wang Yao ignored him and turned to yell at Li Xiaolong, who had already run to the wall but seemed unaware that he could climb over it.
Perhaps because he had worked in the production center for so long, the not-so-high wall seemed to have become an insurmountable obstacle in Li Xiaolong's mind. He only knew how to slip along the base of the wall and never thought of climbing over it. Wang Yao's shout reminded him, and he stopped and frowned as he looked at the wall.
The wall was only one person high, painted snow-white, and had words like "organize, tidy up, sweep, clean, and maintain" written in colored pens. Below it were some vine-like foreign words.
Having worked in the synthesis workshop every day, Li Xiaolong probably knew the words on the wall by heart, so he didn't glance at them for long before leaping up and climbing to the top of the wall, ready to scale it over.
Whether it was due to panic or some other reason, at this critical moment, his hand slipped and he slid down the wall again. In that short delay, Wang Yao and the security guard were already not far from him.
