If someone were to take a look at his phone, they would discover that the other end of the video is in a very modern and expensively decorated conference room.
A group of middle-aged and elderly people, all over fifty, stared at the other end of the video, urging each other on.
"Is the young lady out? Quick, point the camera at her, who wants to see your old face!"
"Damn it, we've been having two days of group meetings, it's so annoying! Can't the overseas business department just let our people go? Why do they have to use a bunch of foreigners!"
"Meetings aren't always about arguing with a bunch of idiots. Look at Miss, she's so well-behaved and adorable..."
Urged on by everyone, Butler Xu quickly pointed the camera at Xie Li, who was getting closer and closer.
A sudden silence fell over the conference room on the other end of the video call.
"Wait, isn't that a person that Miss is carrying?"
"And he was holding it with one hand?"
The group of middle-aged and elderly people looked at each other in bewilderment. Just then, Grandpa Xu pushed open the door and entered. "Well, have you seen my granddaughter? Isn't she so well-behaved and adorable..."
Grandpa Xu looked up at the video projection and squinted: "That's..."
Butler Xu turned the video around and explained, "It's Madam Xie's assistant, the one who went to Tiandu Mountain to pick up Miss Xie."
"Holy crap!" A fierce-looking middle-aged man slammed his fist on the table and stood up. "As expected of our young lady, she's got guts!"
"This assistant has been disgusting for ages. I've wanted to knock him out and throw him into international waters to feed the fish for ages... The young lady finally decided to teach him a lesson. How majestic and domineering!"
"Girls should be a little fierce, otherwise they will be easily bullied outside."
"The young lady is so healthy and lively..."

On the other side, Xie Li also saw Butler Xu, but she was busy dealing with Xie Shiyou, so she just nodded to Butler Xu.
He then carried Xie Shiyou toward the lake, which was blocked off by the cordon.
The silhouette he left behind was so cool and stylish, earning him a chorus of praise from the person on the other end of the video.
After hanging up the video call, Butler Xu glanced in the direction Xie Li had left, a smile playing on his lips.
He had previously thought that Xie Li had always been gentle and mild-mannered, never competing or fighting, and never taking anything to heart, which led even the servants of the Xie family to look down on her.
It turns out that the young lady and the master have the same personality. They seem gentle and harmless, but they are just tigers hiding their claws and too lazy to bother with each other.
But if you really anger her, and the tiger's claws fall on you... then some people will probably really suffer.
——
With a "plop," Xie Shiyou was kicked directly into the lake by Xie Li.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on Xie Li, coating her skin with a dreamy pink hue, making her appear ethereal and untouched by the world.
Yet the words he uttered sounded like those of a demon from hell.
"Don't even think about getting ashore until all the golden potatoes have been retrieved."
Xie Shiyou had just been carried over like a chick, and he had considered resisting.
He had always looked down on Xie Li from the bottom of his heart, so naturally he couldn't stand being dragged around by Xie Li in front of everyone as if he were being publicly executed.
But all his resistance was ruthlessly suppressed by Xie Li, and he even received two more slaps to the face, which were now swollen.
At this moment, he had no intention of resisting at all. Even after Xie Li finished speaking, he only paused for a few seconds to process what Xie Li had said before plunging into the water and getting to work.
After all, it was already dusk. If we didn't hurry up and retrieve everything while it was still light, it would be much more difficult once it got dark and visibility was low.
He didn't want to spend the whole night soaking in the lake!
