Can't I Disagree

Manager Liang stood there dumbfounded.

He watched as an incredibly bold and confident loli walked towards them.

Xu Shi had been abroad for several years.

Given that she usually kept a low profile,

it was normal that Manager Liang didn't recognize her.

Song Ligang felt warmth in his heart, realizing the world wasn't completely filled with bad people.

The old woman, relying on her relative being a manager here, spoke arrogantly:

"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. What good will it do you if this gets bigger?"

Xu Shi shrugged, "I don't like what I'm seeing, is that not allowed?"

"Such a sharp-tongued young lady, with that attitude you'll never find a husband!" the old woman started getting nasty.

Xu Shi ignored her and turned to Manager Liang.

"How did someone with your character become a manager?"

Manager Liang responded aggressively: "How is that any of your business! What proof do you have that Song Ligang didn't do this?"

Having chosen his path, there was no turning back.

Manager Liang was determined to see this through to the end.

Xu Shi smiled gently, pointing at the security camera on the ceiling, "There's your evidence."

The old woman and the spoiled child were stunned - this wasn't how things were supposed to go.

Manager Liang wore a look of contempt and sneered.

"Heh... you don't need to tell me that. Yes, it is evidence, but I can use my position to delete everything that was just recorded."

"I'll make it look like equipment failure, and those crucial moments will be lost."

"Who do you think the police will believe - you, or a manager?"

This was truly disgusting!

Song Ligang experienced the pain of having no way to speak up for himself.

He hadn't been back in the country long, and his own countrymen were already teaching him a harsh lesson!

Angry but helpless.

Song Ligang gave a bitter smile and said to Xu Shi,

"Miss, thank you for your help. I'll accept losing three months of work, you should go now. Don't let yourself get involved when the police come."

Xu Shi remained unmoved, displaying an innocent smile.

"So, Manager Liang, you're trying to use your position to bully people?"

Manager Liang admitted it brazenly: "Yes, and what about it!"

"Fine." Xu Shi took out her phone and made a call, "Yes, I'm here now, third floor, all the way to the end... Get someone in charge here quickly, I don't want to wait too long."

"Heh... putting on quite an act, aren't you? Like pretending to be a hunter with a dead rat in your pocket. I'd like to see who you're calling," the old woman mocked.

This made Manager Liang's confidence return.

"Young lady, stop putting on a show in front of me. If you want to help him, fine - pay twenty thousand in cash, and we'll forget this ever happened."

Xu Shi smiled, "Why should someone else pay for what this kid did wrong?"

By now, more customers had entered the store.

Many people were discussing the situation among themselves.

The matter was clearly escalating.

Manager Liang decided to make his exit, "Auntie, take Little Yu home first, I'll handle things here."

The old woman nodded and tried to leave with her grandson's hand in hers.

Xu Shi blocked their path.

"Where do you think you're going?"

The old woman's face darkened as she tried to push past Xu Shi.

Song Ligang stepped in front of Xu Shi.

This big guy was like a human turret!

Imposing without even trying to be.

The old woman and the spoiled child were startled.

"Liang Zhichao, damn your grandmother! You've really done it this time, you know that?!"

A pot-bellied middle-aged man came running, nearly tumbling over himself.

Sweat and cold perspiration mixed on his forehead.

His angry curses arrived before he did.

"Director Chen, why are you here?"

Manager Liang looked bewildered at the approaching middle-aged man.

SLAP--------

The first thing that happened was a hard slap!

This man, weighing nearly 300 pounds, could deliver quite a blow.

It left Manager Liang completely dazed.

Seemingly not satisfied,

Director Chen gave Manager Liang another slap on the other cheek.

There, now it was symmetrical.

Liang Zhichao had been personally promoted by Director Chen.

No wonder he was so furious!

If Liang Zhichao messed up,

and Xu Shi became unhappy, it would affect him as a director.

He truly had nowhere to cry about this situation.

It had taken him over ten years to reach his current position.

Manager Liang's head was buzzing, the handprints on his face were very clear, one on each side, as red as a monkey's behind.

"Liang Zhichao has shown terrible character and morals! I will fire him immediately and blacklist him! How does that sound, Young Miss?"

Director Chen said in a fawning manner.

Xu Shi spoke lazily: "That doesn't seem enough. He was just threatening me, you know. I'm so scared~ My poor little heart almost jumped out!"

Director Chen's face grew even darker, looking like he wanted to give Liang Zhichao a few more slaps.

"Young Miss, I've already called the police. This person's crimes cannot be forgiven. Rest assured, I will give you a satisfactory resolution."

Liang Zhichao looked at the young loli in confusion, "Young Miss?"

Director Chen, barely restraining himself from kicking Liang Zhichao, explained briefly.

"This is the daughter of Xu Corporation, Miss Xu Shi! Open your dog eyes and look carefully!"

Liang Zhichao was thunderstruck.

The old woman and the spoiled child were trembling with fear.

Especially the spoiled child, who had never experienced anything like this before!

Xu Shi was very satisfied.

She left the mess for Director Chen to handle.

She and Song Ligang moved to another area.

Song Ligang felt somewhat surreal, wondering how he had become involved with such an important figure.

He personally didn't want to rely on any power structure anymore.

But fair was fair.

"Miss Xu, I thank you for your help. If there's ever anything Song can do for you, just say the word."

Song Ligang said seriously.

Xu Shi's expression became slightly strange.

She wondered if he was about to say something like:

'If only you weren't a woman, I would become sworn brothers with you!'

Xu Shi shuddered, quickly dismissing the thought as goosebumps rose on her skin.

"It was nothing, don't worry about it. By the way, since you're not a formal employee yet, I'll get you properly hired. After that, your monthly salary will be 5,500 yuan, plus social security and housing fund."

Song Ligang felt even more moved.

"Thank you!"

He was a rough man, not good at saying pretty words.

Xu Shi was extremely happy inside!

Did this count as successfully winning him over?

Ah, no...

Song Ligang hadn't even met Lin Fan yet.

This couldn't really be called winning him over.

She knew Song Ligang's character very well.

Getting a promise from Song Ligang was an extremely difficult thing.

Who would refuse the chance to recruit such a powerful subordinate?

Xu Shi chatted with Song Ligang for a few more minutes.

She assured him that incidents like today's would never happen again,

and that he could work here without worry.

Before leaving, Song Ligang made a decision that surprised even himself.

He gave his contact number to Xu Shi.

This was a number he hadn't even dared to give to his family.

Xu Shi, of course, accepted it with a smile.

Tonight she decided to eat an extra bowl of rice to celebrate.

At eight in the evening.

Xu Mo drove his Pagani Huayra - worth nearly 30 million - to pick up Shen Manni.

There was no special reason for choosing this car.

It was simply because it was the last car in the garage with flashy green paint.

Xu Mo dressed casually - after all, it was just clubbing, something he did often enough.

He still maintained his flashy slicked-back hairstyle.

This time he waited a while.

Shen Manni was more punctual than last time.

She wore an off-shoulder chiffon top, her graceful figure and porcelain-white skin displaying her beauty.

Xu Mo was stunned for a moment, then followed his usual routine of opening the car door for the handless Shen Manni.

Along the way, Xu Mo felt wronged as Shen Manni inexplicably glared at him.

Xu Mo wanted to say, if you're so unhappy with me, you can get out of the car.

The two maintained silence in the car.

Shen Manni wasn't talking, which suited Xu Mo just fine.
