Xie Zhuzhou rested his chin on his hand, pondering the matter, and suddenly realized it was a great idea! He really wanted to see Little Yan in a dress!
Ji Wangyan's reward was canceled. He sighed slightly, feeling a little disappointed, but not by much.
Ji Wangyun had no intention of letting Ji Wangyan easily. He suggested to Xie Zhuzhou, "How about this, punish him by making him sweep Lili's grave every day this week?"
Xie Zhuzhou almost burst out laughing upon hearing this. Last time, Third Brother lied to Second Brother Li Yaokun, saying it was a dog! Well, karma's finally coming back to bite him!
Xie Zhuzhou readily agreed.
Seeing that Xie Zhuzhou was indeed interested in Chu Yanzhang's women's clothing, Ji Wangyun deliberately teased him, "However, you'd better think carefully. What if Chu Yanzhang knew you made him wear women's clothes? Would he be angry?"
Xie Zhuzhou paused for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively. "He won't be angry. Little Yan listens to me the most."
Although he said that, he was a little apprehensive inside.
Chu Yanzhang usually indulged him in everything, but this kind of request... he had never actually tried it before.
Seeing this, Ji Wangyun smiled slightly, "Since you're so confident, how about we make a bet? If you can get Chu Yanzhang to willingly wear women's clothing, I'll help you resolve the troubles at your company, how about that?"
Xie Zhuzhou raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Really?"
Ji Wangyun: "When have I ever lied to you? However, if you lose, you'll have to handle my official duties for a month."
Just as the two brothers were exchanging words, Ji Wangyan suddenly said quietly, "So, second brother, you've regained your memories..."
Ji Wangyun's smile froze.
Xie Zhuzhou suddenly snapped out of his daze and said seriously and angrily, "Second Brother! You! You were really faking it to avoid going to work!"
The next day
Last night the house was in complete chaos, and this morning several of us were so sleepy we could barely keep our eyes open.
Ji Wangyun's vacation was forced to end because he had not fully recovered and could work from home.
Ji Wangyan still had to deliver tribute canned goods to Lili and express his apology for a week!
Xie Zhuzhou taught him a lesson he shouldn't make jokes about, whether it's about a dead person or a dead dog! He wanted him to remember that!
On the way back to school, Xiao Nan acted as the driver and also gave an update on Weili'ang's recent situation.
After Xie Zhuzhou sent Xiao Lin and the maid Lili undercover to investigate at the grassroots level, they indeed uncovered many problems. Some unscrupulous agents were exploiting and oppressing artists, and the higher-ups were using their positions to seek personal gain within the company, lining their own pockets, and colluding with the finance department to cover up the truth.
Xiao Lin discovered most of these things. Xie Zhuzhou sent him to work as a cleaner, and this guy actually dared to sneak into every corner of the company, eavesdropping and discovering a lot of inside information.
A major overhaul and restructuring of Weili'ang is inevitable.
Xie Zhuzhou didn't have the time to personally attend to everyone. After thinking for a while, he decided, "For artists whose rights have been violated, we'll try our best to get them more compensation. If the money in the account isn't enough, they can ask me for more."
Xiao Nan was driving, and he knew best how much money Xie Zhuzhou had.
They'd only been apart for a few days, and he'd already seen his Young Master Xie make a fortune. He joked, "Did you go rob someone again?"
"Not really, these were all offerings they made themselves."
Xie Zhuzhou glanced at the rearview mirror and saw the dark circles under Xiao Nan's eyes.
He felt a little guilty, so he coughed lightly and said, "I'm not some kind of exploitative person. After this busy period, you're allowed to take your whole family on a trip, and all expenses will be reimbursed. Also, I'll consider giving you, Xiao Lin, and Lili your bonuses."
Xiao Nan was deeply moved upon hearing this, feeling that no matter how hard or tiring it was, it was all worth it!
"Didn't you want to buy a house? Here are some houses under my name; take a look and see which one you like..."
Xiao Nan thought to himself, "Is the boss going to give me a house? Why is he telling me this now? He'll be so excited he won't be able to drive!"
Xie Zhuzhou didn't notice Xiao Nan's unusual behavior. He continued, "Buy whichever one you like. I'll give you a price 20% lower than the market price, on the condition that you don't switch jobs to another company within the next five years."
Xiao Nan: "..." Why would he have expectations of capitalists!
However, upon closer reflection, he had indeed made a lot of money recently because Xie Zhuzhou had given him important responsibilities, and all the conditions were favorable to him.
" Xiexie you, Brother Xiao Nan."
Xiao Nan suddenly heard Xie Zhuzhou's words and thought she was hallucinating.
" Xiexie you for always taking care of me." Xie Zhuzhou saw that they had arrived at the school, so he got out of the car briskly, leaving Xiao Nan with only a handsome back view.
Xiao Nan took a breath and murmured, "Young Master has really grown up..."
Back at school, Xie Zhuzhou could only try to take back roads. Now, the students he clung to the most were the elementary school students, but some of his classmates weren't much better off.
It's the same group of people who have nothing better to do than before, except they've gone from haters to fans and have been apologizing to him lately.
Xie Zhuzhou didn't say whether he would accept or not, and continued to do as he pleased, ignoring everyone.
These people were also quite self-aware; they could only watch Xie Zhuzhou from afar and dared not greet him.
But the gaze was so intense... that Xie Zhuzhou felt helpless.
These people are too enthusiastic. With that kind of energy, they might as well find a job.
Xie Zhuzhou arrived at the classroom early and sat in the back row by the window as usual.
Li Yankai, who had been looking for students from three different classes, ran breathlessly to the classroom and sat down next to Xie Zhuzhou.
Li Yankai wore his old clothes today as usual, and recently he's gone even further, washing them until they're a bit faded.
Xie Zhuzhou hesitated for a moment, then asked, "You haven't forgiven your parents yet?"
"I won't forgive them. I haven't even gone home yet. Since they're so rich, I don't need to worry about their retirement anymore!" When Li Yankai learned that his family wasn't actually bankrupt and was quite wealthy, his first thought was: I don't need to take care of my parents in their old age!!
At that time, he seemed like a monkey running happily on the beach.
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Why can't he be as open-minded as Li Yankai?
"Are you happy?"
"It's alright. Our coffee shop owner said he's making me a manager! And I got a raise!"
"Congratulations!"
"Oh, I'm so grateful to you for lending me your place to stay these past few days. Are you free this week? I'd like to invite you to dinner." Li Yankai was actually very grateful to Xie Zhuzhou Xie Zhuzhou always helped him quietly.
Moreover, they were quite tolerant of him. Xie Zhuzhou and Brother Wangyun would always listen to him finish speaking, instead of just giving him the perfunctory treatment like others. He felt that although Xie Zhuzhou didn't say it, he considered him a brother.
"Sure, can I bring my Little Yan along?"
Li Yankai nodded. "Okay, okay."
Ever since that night, Xie Zhuzhou has felt awkward whenever he talks to Chu Yanzhang.
But he couldn't keep running away; it would make him seem impolite and cowardly.
Why don't we take this opportunity to meet Chu Little Yan? And then we can talk about the women's clothing thing, hehe.
