Bo Jingyu raised his eyebrows, his expression calm as still water.
"Instead of thinking about how to tattle, you'd better solve the current situation first. Why didn't you tell me about Zhang Ronglian's entry into the project before?"
"...Who do you think you are to scold me?" Bo Siming was obviously feeling guilty.
"I was in charge of this project before. You made a decision without reporting this matter to me. Who will bear the losses?"
Bo Jingyu held his head high and accused him righteously.
"Are you out of your mind? They're here to invest in this project. Where are the losses!"
Bo Siming snorted disdainfully from the bottom of his heart, showing his discontent.
"Village head, please briefly explain what happened."
"Sure, Young Manager Bo."
The whole story was told in less than five minutes.
Bo Siming was instantly stunned and speechless.
Previously, he had arranged for that upstart to join simply because he wanted more funds to develop Huazhi Lake as a tourist attraction. He never expected that he had inadvertently made a mess of things!
"Manager Bo, I've just calculated the compensation amount for you. It's exactly three million. Please transfer the money to my account before twelve o'clock tonight. Otherwise, I will report this matter to Grandpa."
Bo Jingyu said clearly and left handsomely.
"Damn it! How dare he order me around!" Bo Siming trembled with anger.
So, he had had a plan from the very beginning!
First, he deliberately sent away the reception staff. Then, he shifted the matter of that upstart onto him. After that, he went to Grandpa to claim credit!
Now, he had become the foil.
"Manager Bo... It's almost twelve o'clock."
The assistant reminded him with a fake smile, showing the screen.
Bo Jingyu slapped him without thinking.
"You talk too much! You can't even deal with a mosquito!"
In the residential apartment, Shen Shiyu complained with a gloomy face.
"What a lousy place this is! It's cold and gloomy, and there's always some loud music. It's so late, and they're still disturbing the residents!"
Shen Yuliang sneered, "I told you not to come, but you insisted on following me."
She pouted reluctantly, "Why do I have to share a room with you?"
Although there was a sheer curtain in the middle, she still felt uncomfortable, awkward and embarrassed. It was inconvenient to do anything.
"What kind of conditions do you expect in the countryside? We're here to solve the project problems, not for a vacation. Be content and stop complaining."
Shen Yuliang turned over and pretended to sleep.
While he could adapt to the local conditions, it was torture for Shen Shiyu.
The bed board was hard, and the bedding and sheets always smelled musty. Most importantly, there were mosquitoes! They buzzed around her ears non - stop.
"I must be out of my mind to come to this god - forsaken place!"
Shen Shiyu cursed as she got out of bed. She picked up a famous - brand coat from her suitcase, slipped on her slippers and left the apartment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Fireworks were bursting in the starry night sky.
They were colorful and magnificent.
She tilted her lips, fantasizing about standing here with Bo Siming, hugging each other and sharing a passionate kiss.
Rustle.
The bushes behind the iron fence across from her rustled a few times.
"... Did I hear wrong?" Shen Shiyu murmured in horror.
When they first arrived at the apartment, her father had told her that the villa across was owned by the Su family. The loud music she had faintly heard before had come from that direction.
She held her breath and observed for a while. Apart from the gurgling sound of the nearby stream, there was no other movement.
"Phew... Maybe I'm just too sensitive."
Just as she was about to turn around, a faint voice caught her attention.
"Miss Shen, I'll go and look for it. You'd better not get too close to the fence. There's a stream over there, and the path is quite dark."
"It's okay. I'll just go and get the football and bring it back."
Shen Ximan!
Shen Shiyu's eyes widened like saucers, and her expression was hideous.
Why was she here?
No, why was she in the Su family's villa!
The voices were getting closer. Shen Shiyu hid behind a big rock and secretly observed the movement on the other side of the stream.
"That guy Xiao Liu has such a strong kick. The football is stuck in the corner of the fence and I can't pull it out!"
Shen Ximan exerted all her strength and muttered to herself.
Suddenly, she saw the bolt at the bottom of the fence. It should be a spare exit for emergency escape.
She lifted the fence up. Just as she got the football, Shen Shiyu, who seemed to come out of nowhere, scared her so much that cold sweat broke out on her back.
"Hey, my dear sister."
"What are you doing here?!"
Shen Shiyu took the football from her hand casually and sneered disdainfully, "It's only been a few days since you divorced the second young master, and you've already hooked up with the Su family? You seem to be having a great time."
"Give it back to me." Shen Ximan came out from behind the fence and tried to take it back.
Her smile grew wider.
"You think I'll give it back just because you say so?"
Shen Shiyu threw the football backward. It fell into the stream and was quickly carried away by the current for a short distance.
Shen Ximan glared at her and said, "You're crazy." Then she quickly bypassed her and rushed towards the stream to pick it up.
These three words were the ones she hated the most in her life, especially when they came from Shen Shiyu's mouth. It made her even more angry.
A strange woman in a cloak appeared in Shen Shiyu's sight.
A wicked idea popped into her head.
"Sister, if you beg me, I'll help you pick it up."
Shen Ximan had her wrist grabbed by her and impatiently refused.
"I don't need your help. Let go."
"Are you sure you don't need it? This is your only chance."
"Let go!"
Shen Shiyu seized the right moment and smiled sinisterly.
"Aaaah! Don't pull me. Please, let me go!"
Xiao Shujing heard the noise, frowned and trotted over. She immediately saw the two women tugging at each other outside the fence.
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Shen Ximan was confused.
"Please, stop torturing me! Waaah."
Shen Shiyu staged a show by herself, grabbing her wrist and staggering around uncoordinatedly. Her cries were extremely pitiful.
Tear! She deliberately grabbed Shen Ximan's clothes and fell into the stream.
Shen Ximan was completely stunned. If she hadn't quickly grabbed the vines around her, she would have fallen in too.
"Help! Help me!"
Shen Shiyu was washed up against a rock and shouted.
Xiao Shujing quickly called Xiao Liu, "Hurry! Find someone quickly. Someone has fallen into the stream!"
After notifying the rescuers, she quickly ran over to pull Shen Shiyu.
Shen Ximan was completely ignored, as if she was invisible.
"Are you okay? Come on, give me your hand!"
Shen Shiyu's face turned pale with fear. "I... I'm too scared!"
"Hurry up. If you're washed away again, I won't be able to save you!"
Shen Ximan climbed up. Although she was shivering with cold, she couldn't help but sneer. So, it had all been a show just now, aiming to make Xiao Shujing see their argument.
