Chapter 479: 26_2
"You’re saying she damaged my car?" Manager with the surname Dong asked in pursuit.
"It was her, just now her group even beat up Wang Rong to hide the fact that they were stealing cars," the security guard continued to support his argument.
"It’s them, Manager Dong, your car is damaged, you need to seek compensation from these people, and I also need to get them to pay for my medical expenses," the tricycle driver said with a sobbing tone.
"Uncle Dong, do you really believe what they’re saying?" Xuerou put on a pitiful face and approached the BMW owner who came seeking them.
"Of course, I do not believe them, Xiao Rou, tourist areas are like this, full of deceptive people. Uncle Dong has already told you, when you come to Chengde, you must inform me, look now, you’ve been entangled by these people," Manager Dong suppressed the anger in his heart, these local ruffians only add trouble to the local investment work.
He and Zeng Xuerou’s mother were business partners in the market place. He had always wanted her to develop a hotel property locally, but Mrs. Zeng always excused that the local security environment and population makeup were too complicated, and she was unwilling to invest.
Last night, he received a call from Zeng Xuerou saying she was in Chengde and wanted to invite him for a meal. Xuerou was indeed Mrs. Zeng’s treasured daughter, pleasing her, making her have a good time in Chengde would ensure that Mrs. Zeng wouldn’t hesitate to invest locally.
Manager Dong drove overnight to the Summer Villa and treated Xuerou at a local teahouse, only to find out that she had been playing there for several days and would leave the next morning.
After seeing off Zeng Xuerou from the teahouse, Manager Dong went to the parking lot to get his car, only to find his newly purchased sedan with its front door damaged. He also saw a disabled tricycle nearby with its front damaged and immediately sought out the owner.
"You say she would steal your car? Do you think she is someone who would steal your shabby car? Her family’s any random car could replace dozens of yours. Also, Xuerou is still underage, a well-behaved and sensible child, she can’t even drive. You people are the termites of Chengde, if not dealt with properly, how can investors feel secure to invest here?" Manager Dong directly made a phone call to inform the local police bureau to come and handcuff them away.
Seeing this, the security team leader also reprimanded the security guard who had been making trouble. Manager Dong then bought a lot of local specialties and escorted Xuerou and her friends to the station. To express her gratitude, Xuerou very "thoughtfully" promised that she absolutely wouldn’t tell her mother about the "bullying incident" that happened locally.
Manager Dong was moved almost to tears when he heard this.
As the group of three reached the station, Mrs. Zeng was already waiting there, and inevitably exchanged a few words with Manager Dong.
While the adults were having boring business talks, Xiao Xian and the other two sat in the corner of the waiting room.
"Wow, Xuerou you’re so wicked, Xiao Xian you too, you must have known everything, right? Leaving me out," Zhang Yiyi pieced together the sequence of events and couldn’t help but praise her two friends’ clever plans.
"We’re nothing compared to you, those two slaps just now, such clear sound and precise force, truly the number one heroine of the world," Xiao Xian mimicked Zhang Yiyi with a move known as ’tiger pounces on the sheep’.
"And that’s not all, you even dared say we are underage, if they can, let them come and catch us," Zeng Xuerou laughed so hard she slumped onto the bench, drawing the attention of Mrs. Zeng, who was in the middle of a discussion. It seemed her daughter had a wonderful time in Chengde, Mrs. Zeng nodded in relief.
"Let’s not talk anymore, anyway, the three of us together have proven what they say, ’three cobblers surpass Zhuge Liang’. This trip to Chengde, other than the food not being very satisfying, everything else was pretty good," Zhang Yiyi spoke of that colorful gecko, itching in her throat.
"If the food wasn’t good enough, let your dad make up for it at home, also this egg, we brought it down from the mountain yesterday, very delicious," Xiao Xian tossed the reed chicken egg to Zhang Yiyi, who didn’t hesitate, considering her breakfast was interrupted by those people and she hardly ate.
Zhang Yiyi peeled the egg and started eating it right there in the station.
As the car left Chengde City, Xiao Xian and Xuerou looked out the window, with Zhang Yiyi in the back seat falling asleep as soon as she sat down. Mrs. Zeng was reviewing documents in her hands; she had secured a project in Tianjin during this trip and had a lot to attend to after returning.
"You think, is Monk Tianya really a person from the Kangxi Period, is there really someone in the world who could live that long? Xiao Xian, if you could also live for hundreds of years like Monk Tianya someday, remember to come and sweep my grave," Zeng Xuerou jokingly said.
"You must have not had enough sleep last night, your brain is muddled. Close your eyes and rest," Xiao Xian glanced at her, feeling that this person, like Yiyi, had lost her verbal filter, cursing herself out of the blue for no reason.
Xuerou grinned, closed her eyes, the sunlight outside the window was bright, in the midst of summer.
Monk Tianya had brought a greater shock to Xiao Xian, had he really come from Cangqiong Palace? Also, the new features of the Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors, he needed to practice well this summer break.
Beside him with her eyes closed, Xuerou opened her eyes and turned her face, "Xiao Xian, I just saw the car ahead."
"What?" Xiao Xian didn’t understand, sleeping so soundly, why suddenly come up with such a sentence.
"I mean, just as I closed my eyes, I saw a car a kilometer away outside the bus." Xuerou and Xiao Xian looked at each other, then both turned their gazes towards the window. (To be continued.
