Chapter 427 Something Happened
Song Song always thought that avoiding foul language, or at least using it sparingly, was a mark of a person’s refinement.But when faced with such a scumbag, she couldn’t stay calm. She gave him a cold smile, "You want me to beg you?"
"Yes..."
Before the word "beg" was even uttered, Xu Lang was slapped hard, seeing stars, nearly stumbling to the ground!
Song Song directly cursed at the man, "Damn it! You want me to beg you? You can dream on! Scumbags like you deserve betrayal and a life worse than death. You’ve ruined Lin Man’s life. Even if you escape punishment now, mark my words, one day you’ll get what’s coming to you!"
Xu Lang hadn’t expected that a woman who looked delicate would have such strength. Truly, you can’t judge a book by its cover.
The man touched his cheek in pain, "Ha! Really? Then let’s wait and see if the saying ’evil-doers live long’ is true?"
Song Song couldn’t find words to describe this man anymore, "It seems you’ve reached a new level of shamelessness!"
"Get lost! Don’t stand in front of me and sully my sight!"
Having achieved his goal, Xu Lang didn’t intend to stay long. He smiled at the somewhat flustered Song Song and then turned to leave, saying, "Who’d want to stay in the depths of this mountain forest!"
"That Xiao Jinghuai really knows how not to enjoy his wealth, building a villa here."
Already in a terrible mood, Song Song heard this and angrily kicked Xu Lang’s car headlights...
Although her foot hurt like hell, she gritted her teeth and endured it, "Xu Lang, if you dare say one more word, believe me, I’ll kick you to death!"
Damn it, it’s killing her.
She was stupid to kick the car headlights just now...
With her strength, even if her foot broke, the headlights would probably still be intact.
Xu Lang was startled by Song Song’s imposing presence and froze, afraid she might actually attack. He quickly got into the car, pretending to be unafraid while shouting, "I’m too good a man to fight with a woman! Hmph! Just wait, eventually you’ll be abandoned by Xiao Jinghuai too."
"From new to old! Your time in the limelight won’t last long..."
Song Song feigned a chase, making Xu Lang start the car immediately, quickly turning a corner and speeding away.
"Hmph! What a coward! Clearly scared to death, but still daring to threaten me!"
"Lin Man, back then... why did you fall for a man like this? Why?"
"..."
Thinking of her late friend, Song Song’s heart ached again. But she quickly pulled herself together and set off back to Hong Kong again.
...
When Xiao Jinghuai woke up from bed, it was already close to nine in the morning. He felt like he had a hangover, the first sensation being a splitting headache.
Thinking the girl was still quietly lying beside him, he rubbed his temple and hoarsely said, "You little thing nearly drained me last night, aren’t you going to massage me?"
"..."
No sound at all—was she still asleep?
Xiao Jinghuai reached out to feel the bed, finding nothing, he immediately got up, quickly getting dressed and opening the bathroom door but saw no one...
Just as he was about to leave the room, he saw a piece of paper on the bed.
Xiao Jinghuai walked over and picked it up, seeing the neat and sharp handwriting.
[Xiao Jinghuai, I’ve thought for a long time and decided to leave you for a while. Don’t say I’m escaping or that I’m cowardly. I just don’t want to see you become more disappointed in me. During this time, I’ll return to Hong Kong and complete my studies. Although it’s just a hobby class, I don’t want to leave any regrets. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself, don’t miss me!]
Damn it!
She ran away again...
When Xiao Jinghuai quickly dressed and was about to chase after her, he received a call from Xing Quan.
"Xing Quan, what’s up?"
"President Xiao, you need to come to the company quickly. Something big happened here..."
Having been an assistant by Xiao Jinghuai’s side for so long, Xing Quan was always composed, faced with challenges, he remained calm. For him to be this flustered, it must be something major...
Helpless, Xiao Jinghuai had to temporarily suppress his impulse to chase Song Song and dressed in formal attire to head to the Xiao Family.
Upon arriving at the Xiao Family’s headquarters, he saw Xing Quan waiting outside, Xiao Jinghuai got off with a serious expression and walked to Xing Quan’s side, "Get to the point, what’s the matter?"
"President Xiao, the Meilong brand’s lead and mercury levels are critically high. Several major mall counters have started to remove it, and the quality inspection bureau has already called, saying... it’s the responsibility of our Xiao Family. If we don’t find out which stage of the process caused the issue, they’ll shut down the Meilong brand."
"President Xiao, the Meilong brand must not be closed. If it is, the Xiao Family will also suffer severe losses!"
"..."
Of course, Xiao Jinghuai knew this, and unruffled under pressure said, "Call everyone in the tech department to my office, I want to interrogate them one by one!"
"Yes!" Xing Quan immediately responded.
Meilong is an international brand with high global recognition, so the development team consists of elites from various countries within the industry, and a confidentiality agreement had been signed a long time ago.
In that agreement, it was clearly stated that if there was any issue with the product, they were to bear most of the responsibility.
These so-called elites had their risks proportional to their income.
Xing Quan suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, "President Xiao, not long ago, an employee in the tech department resigned, citing a relative at home being ill and needing long-term care. Do you think the problem could be related to that person?"
The treatment provided by the Xiao Family isn’t just top-notch in Qingcheng City, but in the entire province. So every employee who enters the Xiao Family is reluctant to resign, and no matter how big the difficulty, they’ll grittedly persevere.
But this person left so nonchalantly, it’s hard not to suspect them.
Xiao Jinghuai squinted slightly, his handsome face filled with coldness, "Most likely, even if it means digging three feet into the ground, find this person!"
"Yes!"
Upon returning to the office and going online, Xiao Jinghuai found news about this incident already circulating. The fact that it had been reported online so quickly made it hard not to suspect deliberate sabotage...
The spokesperson for the Meilong brand had recently changed to his troublemaking sister, Chenxi.
He quickly logged into her Weibo, and indeed saw some abusive comments on a post promoting Meilong.
The harshest comment was: Get out of the entertainment circle!
Get out of the entertainment circle?
Xiao Jinghuai took out his phone and dialed Chenxi’s number, which rang for a while before she finally answered—a sleepy tone, evidently she hadn’t fully awakened...
"Hello..."
"Have you offended someone recently?"
The woman replied lazily, "Brother, did you call me just to ask this?"
"I really can’t give you an answer. I... seem to offend people every day."
"What’s up? I’m so tired! I’ve only just touched the bed after filming, and you called me."
Xiao Jinghuai was practically fuming, "Look at your Weibo!"
