"What’s happened?"
Ye Luo walked over, a puzzled expression on his face as he looked at Hei Zi.
"Deputy Director, hello!"
The security guards all greeted him respectfully.
"Hei Zi, with that look of utter despair on your face, could it be you’ve been dumped?"
"Deputy Director, you’re really sothing, guessing it just like that."
"You really got dumped, that fast?" Ye Luo’s face turned into a look of shock, sowhat startled.
"Boss, don’t listen to their nonsense, I haven’t been dumped. It’s just that my girlfriend’s parents suddenly told that if I want to be with their daughter, I must prepare a dowry of five hundred thousand. I’ve been saving by scrimping and scraping and have only managed to save up one hundred thousand; it’s nowhere near enough," Hei Zi said with a crestfallen face.
Hu Zi suddenly spoke up, "I have sixty thousand saved up, I’ll give it all to you."
"No way, that money is for your father’s retirent, and you’ll need money when you get married yourself. How could I take your money?" Hei Zi quickly shook his head.
"And here I thought it was sothing serious. It’s just five hundred thousand. Have you forgotten who your boss is? Just co to directly," Ye Luo said nonchalantly.
"Boss..." Hei Zi was just about to say sothing when suddenly his phone rang.
Hei Zi answered, "Qianqian, what’s wrong?"
"What?"
Instantly, Hei Zi’s complexion changed, his eyes filled with deep anger.
After hanging up the phone, Hei Zi clenched his fists tightly, his expression looking very ugly.
"What’s happened?" Ye Luo asked.
"My girlfriend just called to say her parents are taking her to a matchmaking eting, and the guy’s a wealthy businessman," Hei Zi said through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with intense anger and unwillingness.
"Do you know where?" Ye Luo glanced at Hei Zi.
"I know. You want to go, Boss?"
Ye Luo’s lips curled up in a smile, "Let’s go and snatch your bride."
"I’m coming too," Hu Zi said abruptly.
In Zhonghai, at a high-end restaurant, Ye Luo walked in with Hei Zi and Hu Zi.
"Where are they?" Ye Luo asked Hei Zi.
"They probably haven’t arrived yet. Boss, are we really going to do this?" Hei Zi looked at Ye Luo, his face showing nervousness.
"If you want a wife, stop talking nonsense. As a man, if you can’t even protect your own woman, do you want to lose face?" Ye Luo said with a smirk.
At that mont, a middle-aged couple and a young woman walked into the restaurant. Seeing the three, Hei Zi hurried forward, his eyes joyfully calling out to the young woman, "Qianqian."
And this young woman was Hei Zi’s girlfriend, the receptionist of Ling Corporation, Du Qianqian.
"Hei Zi!" Du Qianqian looked at Hei Zi, her anxious eyes suddenly revealing a hint of excitent, and she was about to rush over but was held back by her mother, the middle-aged woman at her side.
"What are you doing here?" Du Qianqian’s mother looked at Hei Zi with a face full of disgust, her deanor full of snobbery.
With an embarrassed expression, Hei Zi replied, "Auntie, I know you oppose being with Qianqian, but we truly love each other. I beg you to give us your blessing."
"Can true love put food on the table? You, a bottom-of-society security guard, what happiness can you bring to our Qianqian? You’ll probably never afford a house in your life, only making our Qianqian suffer."
"So you should stop thinking about being with Qianqian, and besides, we have already found her a good husband. The guy is worth tens of millions, a big boss with houses and cars, soone from high society, completely out of league for a re security guard like you."
Du’s mother snorted coldly, her eyes filled with disdain, exuding an air of ambition.
"Mom, I don’t like that so-called big boss; I only want to be with Hei Zi," Du Qianqian declared resolutely.
"Du Qianqian, are you trying to anger your dad and to death?" Du’s mother stared at her daughter furiously.
At that mont, Du Qianqian’s father also spoke up, "Yes, Qianqian, your mother is right. You will have no good future with a security guard like him."
"If it’s money you want, I’ve paid the 500,000 dowry for Hei Zi."
Ye Luo walked over, sweeping a cold glance at the two of them as he spoke.
"Who are you?" Du’s mother asked, looking at Ye Luo in surprise.
"Who I am is not important. You wanted Hei Zi to give a 500,000 dowry, right? I’ve paid it for him. Happy now?" Ye Luo said indifferently.
Just as Du’s mother was about to reply, a man in his thirties, slightly overweight and dressed in a suit, walked into the restaurant, looking every bit the successful businessman.
"Auntie Du, you’re here?"
The man walked over with a smile, looking warmly at Du Qianqian’s parents.
"Mr. Zheng, you’ve arrived," greeted Du Qianqian’s parents, their faces glowing with warmth.
"Qianqian, let introduce you. This is Mr. Zheng Fang."
"Mr. Zheng, this is my daughter Qianqian, isn’t she beautiful?" Du’s mother said enthusiastically.
Zheng Fang glanced at Du Qianqian and remarked, "Hmm, Miss Du is indeed more beautiful than her photos, I’m very satisfied."
"And who are these people?" Zheng Fang’s gaze then shifted to Ye Luo and the others.
"Oh, we don’t know these three. Let’s go have our al," Du’s mother said, plainly ignoring Ye Luo and his friends.
"I am Qianqian’s boyfriend," blurted out Hei Zi.
Imdiately, the expressions of Du Qianqian’s parents and Zheng Fang changed.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Qianqian isn’t your girlfriend, Mr. Zheng, please don’t misunderstand," Du’s mother hastily explained to Zheng Fang.
Zheng Fang, with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, gave Hei Zi a glance but wasn’t the least bit angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "It seems you are also a suitor of Miss Du. May I ask what your occupation is?"
"He’s just a useless security guard," Du’s mother said mockingly.
"Oh, a security guard, right? It so happens my company needs a security manager, with a monthly salary of 10,000. How about it, are you interested?" Zheng Fang said with a mocking look at Hei Zi.
"Mr. Zheng, that guy isn’t fit to be a security manager," Du’s mother said disdainfully, casting a glance at Hei Zi.
At that mont, Hei Zi’s face was full of anger, his fists clenched tightly as he stared fixedly at Zheng Fang.
"Young man, you’ve got a long road ahead of you; you’ve experienced too little. In this world, don’t bother looking for a girlfriend if you don’t have money because even if you find one, she’ll just be stolen away by soone else. Without capital, don’t embarrass yourself here," Zheng Fang said, looking down on Hei Zi.
"You..." Hei Zi’s face flushed with rage, and he was about to charge at the man when Ye Luo grabbed him.
Ye Luo, with a devilish smirk, looked at Zheng Fang and said, "Listen to you talk, I wonder what sort of capital you have?"
"Who are you?"
"I’m Hei Zi’s friend."
"Being friends with a security guard, it looks like you’re not much either. Normally, I wouldn’t bother with soone like you, but to make it clear to you lowlifes where you stand, I suppose I should let you know what my capital is, right?"
