"What is it? Master Wu, you said it was man-made? Our Xia family business is so big, but we don't seem to have offended anyone.”Azurepeak was a little puzzled and also quite anxious.
"Uh…Hehe, Master Wu was just saying it casually. Don't take it to heart. "It was a mistake, haha," said Grand Martial. He gestured for everyone to start eating and changed the topic.
When Azurepeak heard what Lord Wu said, he didn't know if there was a hidden meaning behind his words or if Lord Wu was just saying it casually. For a moment, he became depressed. Although he tried his best not to show a gloomy expression on his face, he felt a knot in his heart.
During the meal, Master Wu had been paying attention to Meng Lin's every move. His eyes revealed a different kind of emotion. He also asked Meng Lin some questions about her overseas studies. Meng Lin also answered them casually. As they chatted, Master Wu started to talk about it. Recently, more and more foreigners came to Shanghai to do business. Their business was very good. It was a pity that he did not have any trustworthy employees who knew foreign languages. If Meng Lin could help him, he would naturally not treat her unfairly. Moreover, if the project earned money, there would be a large amount of dividends at the end of each year. When Meng Lin heard this, he felt that this was a good opportunity to train himself. However, he had just become the deputy general manager of the Xia family, so he was afraid that he would not have much time to come to Master Wu's place. Master Wu said that as long as he was willing to help, he did not have to come to work at his place. He could come over anytime during the weekends and bring his work home to do. Meng Lin didn't think too much about it, nor did he ask his brother who was sitting opposite him. He agreed.
Azurepeak was worried for Menglin. He felt that it was very hard to work during the day and on weekends, he had to work for Master Wu. Would he fall sick from exhaustion? However, Meng Lin seemed to have made up his mind. Azurepeak did not stop him. He was just a little surprised. He saw that his sister was usually not too ostentatious, but he did not expect this girl to have such a strong opinion.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, when the siblings left, Martial Lord said to Meng Lin," From today onwards, you're my employee. If there's any urgent work here, I'll send someone to look for you at any time. You just have to complete the task on time.
On the way home, Azurepeak kept thinking about what Master Wu had said. Meng Lin could tell that something was on his brother's mind. As it was his first day at work, he did not know much about the factory, so he did not know how to come up with ideas. Therefore, the two of them kept silent. The car quickly arrived at the entrance of the factory where the accident happened. As soon as the two of them got out of the car, Old Wang came up to them.
"Young Master, Young Miss, you're back!"
"Uncle Wang, have you found out?" Azurepeak asked.
"Young Master, the workers all said that Wang Asan was in charge of the tobacco pipes a few days ago. After the production of this batch of tobacco pipes, he asked for leave and did not come to work.”
"Wang Asan? The newcomer from two months ago?”
"Yes, yes, it's him. Everyone said that after he came, he had been working quietly and rarely interacted with others. He didn't have any friends either. I don't know why he suddenly didn't come and didn't inform us beforehand."
"Did you go to his house to look for him?"
"Oh, I sent Xiaofa out, he's not back yet."
The three of them were walking into the factory when they heard someone call out," Dad." Uncle Wang heard the voice and turned around. Xiao Fa was back.
"How is it?" Uncle Wang asked with concern.
"Father, I went to look for him. He has already moved away. I heard from the neighbors that he just moved away two days ago."
" Aiya, what a coincidence!" Uncle Wang was exasperated.
Azurepeak suddenly remembered what Martial Arts Master had said," It was not an accident, it was man-made." He knew that this matter might not be as simple as he thought. If it was man-made, A'san was the most suspicious. Then why did he do this? He had only been in the Xia family's factory for two months, and these two months had been peaceful. There had been no conflicts, let alone revenge. For a moment, Azurepeak was confused.
"Brother, should we let father know about this?”
"No, Father has a lot of things to do in his hometown. Since Shanghai has been handed over to me, I have the responsibility to shoulder it. Uncle Wang, send a few more people to find Ah San. We must find him. If he wanted to know the result, he could only start investigating Ah San.”
" Ah, I know, Young Master."
"Go and look at the other products. I want to look at all the products from the three factories and check if there are any mistakes. Also, leave me a box of tobacco pipes. I want to personally check the quality and compensate Master Wu.”
"Eldest Young Master, did Grand Wu make things difficult for you?”
"No, we're old friends. Uncle Wang, you can go back to your work."
"Brother, what can I do for you?"
"Come with me, I'll teach you how to check the quality of the products today."
The two of them entered the deepest part of the factory.
In the blink of an eye, it was already night time. The workers were all working overtime to check the products. Azurepeak said to Meng Lin," You've basically learned how to check the quality of the products today, right?"
" Mm." Meng Lin nodded." I'll mature in the factory as soon as possible and become your right-hand man."
"Hehe, become my assistant? Oh, right, why did you agree to help Master Wu today? As far as I know, you don't seem to be short of money."
"I want to learn more. Besides, I'm just having fun on the weekends. It's a waste of time.”
"Hehe, I find your words strange. There are very few rich ladies who like to work and not play."
"Brother, don't treat me like a rich lady in the future. I'm not a rich lady."
"Aren't you a rich young lady? Then who's the heiress?"
"Anyway, I've never thought of myself as a rich young lady. I want to be a woman who has dreams and works hard for them."
"Haha, a woman who has lived abroad is really different from a rich young lady.”Qing Feng never dreamed that his sister would say such a thing. She really didn't match the rich young lady of the Republic of China era. In addition to being surprised, he could only attribute his sister's diligence to her broad horizons during those years abroad." Alright, I support you, but don't tire yourself out. Otherwise, Mother will blame me, your elder brother."”
"Let's go eat, brother. I'm hungry."
The two of them went to a western restaurant as they talked. So many things had happened on the first day of their appointment. This was far beyond Qingfeng's expectations. The pipe had not been investigated, and A'san was missing. One challenge after another was waiting for him. At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of the saying," If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight." When he ate, his mood was heavy, and the beef in his mouth was like chewing wax.
Meng Lin seemed to be able to tell what was on his brother's mind, but other than waiting for the results of Ah San's investigation, he could not help much. For a moment, he did not know how to comfort his brother. At this moment, a waitress came from behind Meng Lin with a glass of fruit juice. Coincidentally, Meng Lin wanted to raise his hand to greet the waitress. As he did not see the waitress behind him, the waitress was knocked over by Meng Lin's raised arm. The glass fell to the ground and shattered. The fruit juice splashed onto Meng Lin's beautiful dress.
" I'm sorry, Miss. I'm really sorry." The waiter quickly apologized." Did I hurt you?"
" Aiya, I'm sorry. I didn't see you behind me." Meng Lin felt guilty.
The restaurant manager came over and helped to clean up the debris." Are you the manager? "Please don't deduct her salary. I was careless," Meng Lin interceded for the waitress.
"Miss, are you okay? I'll clean it up quickly and won't deduct her salary. I'll send another glass of fruit juice immediately. May I ask if you had anything to do with the waiter just now?”
"Oh, another salad, please."
"Okay, your dress is already dirty. Do you want us to dry-clean it?"
"Oh, no need. I can handle it myself.”Only then did Meng Lin notice that his dress was dirty. He greeted Azurepeak, who was eating,""Brother, I'll go deal with the dress. You eat first."
Azurepeak nodded.
Meng Lin entered the washroom. Azurepeak had been eating, and the dining room had returned to its previous silence. There were not many people around, and many seats were empty. The others who were eating lowered their heads and whispered to each other, afraid of disturbing others.
Suddenly, a familiar tune broke the silence of the restaurant. Azurepeak was familiar with the music, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before. The music continued to play. Because it was loud, the melody was special. Many people around noticed it. Everyone was looking for the source of the music. They looked around and stared at the bag on Meng Lin's seat.
Azurepeak noticed that everyone was staring at the bag on Meng Lin's seat. He suddenly remembered that the music was from the wireless phone in Meng Lin's room not long ago. He wanted to wait for Meng Lin to come back, but the music kept playing. It seemed to disturb the mood of the people around him. Everyone looked at the bag in unison. Since Meng Lin was not present, everyone turned their eyes to Azurepeak. They seemed to blame the sound for disturbing their meal. Meng Lin was still not back, Azurepeak could not sit still.
The music continued to play, one after another. He couldn't bear the pressure of everyone's blaming gazes. Azurepeak smiled apologetically at everyone, stood up, and walked to the opposite side. He rummaged through the bag's things and found this noisy "little guy".
Wen Hui again. What a strange woman. Last time, he found the wrong person. Why did he come again this time?
In order to stop the music as soon as possible, Azurepeak pressed the " answer " button helplessly when he saw that Meng Lin was still in the bathroom. When everyone felt the music stop, they went back to eating.
When Wen Hui heard that the call was connected, she did not wait for the other party to speak and asked anxiously,""Is it Yiyi? Are you Yiyi?”
"Miss, I told you last time that there's no Yiyi here."
When Wen Hui heard that it was the man from last time again, she was furious.""You bastard, you actually lied to me last time. I checked online, and there's no such place as the Xia Family Residence. Tell me quickly, did you kidnap Yiyi?”
"Miss, many people in Shanghai know about the Xia Family Residence. You can come to Shanghai and ask around…"
Azurepeak hadn't finished speaking when Wen Hui interrupted him,""I'm in Shanghai now, but no one knows what mansion it is. I can't find it on the internet, and neither can the police.”
Azurepeak was dumbfounded on the spot. Although he didn't hear the last part clearly, he heard the last part clearly. " How is it possible that the police can't find it?" There was a hint of disdain in his words. The police chief and his grandfather had a certain friendship, and the Xia family's factory had always been under the police's care. He felt that the other party must be mentally ill and was looking for trouble.
"I don't care about the mansion. I'm just asking you. This number is Yiyi's. Why were you the one who answered the call twice? Where is Yiyi?"
"I'm sorry, I really don't understand what you're saying, so I don't know how to answer you."
"You…Alright, do you dare to tell me where you are now? I'll go find you immediately."
"Why wouldn't I dare? No. 16 Xiafei Road, Asia Western Restaurant.”
"Xia Fei Lu?" Wen Hui was stunned for a moment and fell silent. Suddenly, she was furious. This anger came too quickly and she shouted directly,"F * ck, you bastard, you're lying again. Who doesn't know that there's no Xiafei Road in Shanghai?”
Wen Hui's roar really gave Azurepeak a big fright. His voice came out from the receiver. He was even more certain that this woman was crazy. The two of them had nothing to say. He directly pressed the "hang up" button and said to himself," Why aren't there any Xia Residences or Xiafei Road in Shanghai?" As he spoke, he casually threw the wireless phone on the table. After being disturbed by a female psychopath, he was no longer in the mood to eat.
Meng Lin came out of the washroom and was about to sit down to eat when her eyes lit up. She realized that her phone was on the table and was instantly stunned. She really couldn't understand why her phone was on the table when it was clearly in her bag. Moreover, the phone was a secret that belonged to him alone. Her first reaction was to look at her brother's expression. When she saw that her brother was sulking, she guessed that something must have happened while she was away.
" Brother." Meng Lin pointed at the phone on the table with trembling fingers. She tried her best to calm herself down." This, this thing…"
Azurepeak's thoughts were interrupted by Meng Lin. He followed his sister's finger and said,"Oh, you brought this back from England, right?"
"Uh…yes yes, why is it on the table?”
" When you went to the washroom just now, it kept ringing, so I took it out. Who knew that I would run into a female psychopath? Sigh, forget it. Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's eat." As he spoke, he went to get a knife and fork and prepared to eat.
" No, no, wait." Meng Lin pressed down on his brother's arm with one hand and widened his eyes, afraid that he would miss a word. He asked in a trembling voice,""I-I-I don't understand. What female psychopath?”
