Gu Huaiye swiftly closed the car door and signaled the driver to depart.
Xia Zhining, whose battery had run out, finally calmed down, slumped in her seat with her spoils, looking as satisfied as a cat that had just hoarded food.
Gu Huaiye breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put the bank card she had just given him into her bag.
His fingertips touched the card, and he couldn't help but lightly tap her forehead with his finger:
"His vigilance is too poor; he almost shouted out the password in front of everyone just now."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhining raised her wet eyes and looked at him earnestly: "It's okay to tell you."
Gu Huaiye was frozen in place by her words, and his reminder, which he was about to continue, came to an abrupt halt.
Only the sound of my heartbeat could be clearly heard in the quiet carriage.
Xia Zhining, holding the lucky cat, analyzed with a straight face: "You wouldn't even look at my paltry sums."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, a hint of smugness in them: "Besides, if you really dare to transfer my money, I'll... I'll hire Gu's legal team to sue you!"
She tried to put on a serious expression and counted on her fingers: "This is called... embezzlement! Not only will they have to pay me more money, but they'll also go to jail!"
"Once you're in jail, I can buy your restaurant at a low price!"
Gu Huaiye almost burst out laughing from her anger.
"...Alright, then you and your lucky cat can go over there!"
I was so moved for nothing.
Weren't you drunk? Your brain was working pretty fast just now.
Upon arriving at the zoo staff dormitory, Gu Huaiye carefully settled Xia Zhining into bed.
Hearing the noise, the weasel-like snowball crawled out of the warm bed it had prepared for Xia Zhining.
Xia Xia is back!!
It tilted its head, looking at Xia Jie, who was tightly hugging the lucky cat, with a puzzled expression.
Gu Huaiye glanced at Xue Tuan. Although he couldn't understand the little guy's weasel language, he used it as a mouthpiece: "Remember to tell your master tomorrow morning."
"She stole all of my restaurant's prized possessions tonight."
As he spoke, Gu Huaiye gently pried open Xia Zhining's hand and placed the glittering golden lucky cat on her bedside table.
The next morning.
Xia Zhining woke up rubbing her aching temples, and was startled by the strangely styled lucky cat statue on the bedside table as soon as she opened her eyes.
"Where did this come from?"
Snowball immediately clung to her little paws and came over, whimpering worriedly as she complained:
[Sister, the Demon King said you snatched it back from his restaurant last night!]
[Should we return it quickly? What if Officer Ji comes to arrest us?]
Xue Tuan's words were like a key, instantly unlocking the floodgates of memory.
The scenes from last night flashed through Xia Zhining's mind, and she immediately buried her face in the blanket in embarrassment.
How embarrassing!
She shook her head, rushed into the bathroom to take a shower, changed her clothes, and sat in front of the computer, trying to use work to cover up the moment of social despair.
Not long after, Secretary Jiang brought over some hangover soup: "Miss Xia, this can relieve your headache."
After thanking her, Xia Zhining tried to remain calm as she accepted the gift, but her gaze was involuntarily drawn to a news item on the screen—#Xia's Group's Popular Dog Food Limited Purchase#
It seems that with the arrival of the Ge Xian Mi raw materials, the Xia family has temporarily stabilized the situation.
However, in order to control inventory, they were extremely restrained in accepting orders and set prices that were outrageously high, which drew complaints from many individual buyers and small companies who were unable to purchase the goods.
Xia Zhining sipped the warm hangover soup and squinted her eyes.
The opportunity has arrived.
Could the Xia family really think that everything will be fine once they get through the crisis of Ge Xian Mi raw materials?
The Antarctic krill alternative plan she had in her hand wasn't made for nothing.
Just then, her phone screen lit up with a message from a number she had starred:
Ms. Xia, I heard you're an animal communicator.
My grandma's house has been acting strangely lately, like it's haunted... Could you come and see what's going on?
