Chapter 142 - 141: Growing Strong
Striking while the iron is hot, Shi Yang briefly talked about his future plans: "I plan to open a Naughty Castle in a shopping mall, from renting a place to decoration, and the official opening will probably wait until October. Aunt, once you’re done with the matters back home, why don’t you come back and help me manage the business? I don’t trust outsiders to do it. As for my uncle’s job, you don’t have to worry. My dad’s factory surely lacks skilled workers, and by that time my installation project will be up and running. If my uncle doesn’t want to work in the factory, he can lend a hand here on my end."
Liu Xiue remained silent, not knowing what to say. Shi Yang not only took on the responsibility of looking after Zhao Meimei himself but also arranged re-employment plans for her and her husband.
That day, Shi Yang only analyzed the trend of the new project’s development in detail, and Liu Xiue listened with her eyes sparkling.
Seeing that things were almost settled, Shi Yang didn’t continue persuading, knowing that now was the time to give Liu Xiue some space to think it over.
Meanwhile, Qu Chaozong hurriedly ran to the staircase, and as he descended from the eighth to the seventh floor, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. When he realized the emotional burst from his chest felt like a weight lifted, he couldn’t help but inwardly despise himself—just like Shi Yang said, being chased by a woman in a frenzy is really embarrassing!
He shook his head, zipped up his down jacket as he continued heading downstairs, and upon turning at the landing, with the corner of his eye, he spotted someone standing at the stairway. He instinctively looked up, paused for about two seconds, and remarked, "It really is a ghost that won’t leave me alone!"
This statement was definitely full of derogatory meaning.
Zhang Xin picked up on it but wasn’t annoyed and directly asked, "Chaozi, can you do me a favor?"
Qu Chaozong opened his mouth to say, "I’m really not that close to you."
Immediately after, Zhang Xin added, "My brother’s in the hospital after appendicitis surgery, and he might be waking up soon. I can’t manage him alone. Can you help me?"
