Looking at the five won in front of him, Liu Ergou couldn't help but feel a little unnerved.
Seriously, this is the first ti several of my won have t all at once. It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous.
Staring at the five won, Liu Ergou completely lost his appetite for breakfast.
"Um... so, how did the five of you all end up getting together?" Liu Ergou asked cautiously.
However, none of the five won paid him any mind. Instead, they walked to the dining table in unison, pulled out chairs, and sat down.
Seeing this, Liu Ergou's heart sank.
Oh no, this is the prelude to an interrogation.
Panic seized him.
Just then, Liu Yunxi spoke up.
"Wow, Er Gou, you've really made it! I always thought that besides Zhang Man, you having two more would be impressive. I never expected you to suddenly spring so many on us! Including , that makes five!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou put on an appeasing smile.
"Hehehe, Yun Xi, I…"
Before Liu Ergou could finish, Liu Yunxi cut him off.
"Spill it. How many other won do you have? Listen up: leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist. If you don't co clean, you'll be sleeping alone tonight. All five of us… you won't be touching a single one!"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou was taken aback for a mont, then his eyes lit up.
There's a hidden aning in her words. She doesn't seem angry. If she were, she definitely wouldn't have spoken like that, and her expression wouldn't be like this either.
With that in mind, Liu Ergou decided to co clean.
After all, if I keep hiding it, I'll just live on edge, and it could cause a huge ss down the line.
Thinking this, Liu Ergou began to count on his fingers.
"Hang on, let count… there's Orange Bear and… plus you five… all told, we're looking at nearly twenty!"
As soon as he said this, the five won simultaneously slapped a hand to their foreheads, their faces masks of exasperation.
Mi Xiaoying spoke up, "Didn't you say last ti it was close to ten? How did it suddenly beco nearly twenty? That growth rate is a little too fast, isn't it? Why can't my company's stock grow this quickly!"
Mi Xiaoying's jab left Liu Ergou speechless. He could only offer a sheepish smile.
Hearing that Liu Ergou had so many won didn't make Xu Yulan angry; instead, she looked at him with concern. "Er Gou, can you handle so many? You're still young. Don't ruin your body. If your health fails, then we'd be…"
Before Xu Yulan could finish, Liu Ergou cut her off.
"That's going too far, Sister-in-law! How could there be anything wrong with ? I'm perfectly healthy!" As he spoke, Liu Ergou even struck a pose.
The sight made all five won cover their mouths and laugh.
Liu Yunxi looked at Liu Ergou and let out a long sigh. "Oh, Er Gou. To think you have so many other won and kept it from ! If the five of us hadn't happened to et today, who knows how long I would have been in the dark! Co on, tell . How long did you plan to hide this?"
Liu Ergou imdiately replied, "I never planned to hide it, I just couldn't find the right mont. I was planning to renovate my house first, and then tell you all. I just didn't expect you five to get together before I had the chance."
Just as Liu Ergou was about to say more, a man covered in mud suddenly burst in and rushed straight toward Mi Xiaoying.
Upon reaching her, the man said anxiously, "Ms. Mi, this is bad! There's trouble!"
Mi Xiaoying glanced at the man, imdiately recognizing him as one of the workers from her construction crew. She then asked, "Hmm? What happened? Is it at the construction site? Did you dig up an ancient tomb or strike oil?"
The man hastily waved his hands. "Ms. Mi, this is no ti for jokes! Sothing happened at the construction site! I don't know where they ca from, but a group of people suddenly showed up. They claid we were building the factory on their land and then started beating our guys!"
Upon hearing this, Mi Xiaoying was instantly enraged. She slamd the table and exclaid loudly, "How dare they beat people in broad daylight! Let's go. Take there, I want to see what this is all about!"
With that, Mi Xiaoying started to leave with the man. But after only a few steps, she was stopped by Liu Ergou.
"Xiao Ying, hold on. We can go in a minute," Liu Ergou said.
Hearing his words, Mi Xiaoying turned with a puzzled expression to look at him, her gaze clearly asking, 'Why are you stopping ?'
Liu Ergou naturally understood her silent question and explained, "Xiao Ying, sothing isn't right here. There's no way our factory is being built on their land. It's impossible. You're not building in the center of the village, so how could it be on soone else's property? You know the area outside Fengzhu Village is just a huge stretch of unclaid wasteland. For them to say we've taken their land… does that sound right to you?"
At this, Mi Xiaoying understood. "Are you saying soone is deliberately causing trouble for us?"
Liu Ergou nodded. "Exactly. Don't rush. I'll go with you. I want to see what's really going on here."
With that, Liu Ergou stood up and walked out with Mi Xiaoying. Seeing this, the other four won imdiately got up to follow them. Liu Ergou didn't stop them. After all, with him around, they were perfectly safe; no one could even touch a hair on their heads.
Following the worker's lead, the group quickly arrived at the factory construction site. From a distance, Liu Ergou could see two groups of people in a standoff. One group was the construction crew, while the other was completely unfamiliar to him.
Without hesitating, Liu Ergou strode over. As soon as he arrived, the group of strangers imdiately turned on him.
"So, you're the kid nad Liu Ergou?" the leader of the strangers asked. "You're the one who ordered the construction of this factory, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Ergou nodded. "That's right. I'm the one. Do you have a problem with that?"
The leader sneered. "Of course there's a problem! But this isn't the place to talk about it!"
