The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 758 The Aristocratic Family Settles In_1
The woman with the exceptionally grand bosom became somewhat nervous at Lü Zong’s words; she hadn’t expected that this seemingly young man was actually President Li of the group.
After the store was upgraded, they also signed official contracts. Although the work was more or less the same as before, they now had performance bonuses and opportunities for promotion and job changes, and overall, the treatment was countless times better than before.
Now, probably none of the women working at this store thought of changing jobs.
And she had almost just lost this job.
"President Li, I’m sorry. I didn’t recognize you," the woman said very sincerely as she quickly bent over to apologize.
The pair of treasures in front of her almost completely revealed themselves in an instant, with only a slim black strip struggling to contain them.
"It’s alright, we were having a nice chat," Li Qing waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Since President Li has no complaints about you, then great, you can stay and help us with the drinks," Lü Changxi said.
The woman eagerly nodded her head, "Okay, Lü Zong." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
Li Qing and Lü Changxi clinked glasses, then Li Qing immediately asked, "How is that woman doing?"
"Pretty much as you guessed, she wasn’t aware that someone had drugged her," Lü Zong said with a twist of his mouth. "Not long after you left, she sobered up. Seeing that she didn’t have a stitch of clothing on her, and surrounded by so many of us, that woman got up and said she was going to sue us."
"But luckily, once things were clarified, she didn’t want to sue us anymore. She’s going to sue that little bastard. Damn, it’s really bad luck – such a bizarre incident happened out of the blue. I guess I have to shut down for a few days of reorganization again."
"Didn’t you call the police?" Li Qing asked.
"Of course I had to, since it happened in our store, I couldn’t just stand by," Lü Changxi sighed lightly and said, "I gave a private call to Wang Baichuan, that kid should be arriving any minute now."
Li Qing pointed around, "Then why not cover it up a little?"
"What’s there to cover up? My place is now an entertainment bar. Dancing is normal, right? And it’s normal for the waitstaff to sit down and help guests open bottles. As for guests getting handsy, if the waitstaff don’t mind, what’s there for me to say?" Lü Changxi said righteously.
Li Qing’s mouth twisted into a wry smile, well played, he thought, you’ve cornered all the reasoning for yourself.
As they were talking, Lü Zong’s phone started ringing.
He took it out, looked at it and said with a laugh, "Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives."
He hadn’t even answered the call when Wang Baichuan walked over with two police officers.
"Group Leader Li, what are you doing here?" Wang Baichuan asked in surprise when he saw Li Qing.
Li Qing smiled, "Just having a few drinks with Lü Zong."
Wang Baichuan’s expression immediately turned strange. He had always looked down on Lü Zong’s identity as someone who hovered in the murky fringes, and now Li Qing, being a man from a special department, mingling with a person like Lü Zong, seemed rather improper to Wang Baichuan.
"You’re on duty today, so I won’t ask you to drink. When you’re off, let’s have a drink," Li Qing said.
Wang Baichuan laughed heartily, "If Group Leader Li is inviting for drinks, I can apply for leave tomorrow. Not to mention a small drink, I’ll definitely keep up with the gentleman and make sure to drink you under the table."
"What kind of talk is that? We all had a good time," Li Qing was at a loss for words after Wang Baichuan’s comment.
What’s up with these guys now? Each of them has developed an extraordinary skill in flattery.
"By the way, what’s the situation over at North Fifty Stores Village? You should know, right?" Li Qing casually asked.
Jing Yan hadn’t told him the truth, and there was still no progress from Xuan Chen Zhenren’s side. Li Qing had always been worried about that place. Since Wang Baichuan and company had been stationed at North Fifty Stores Village, Li Qing wanted to take the opportunity to find out more.
Wang Baichuan glanced at Lü Changxi and the woman with the particularly full bust and whispered in Li Qing’s ear, "They’re constructing over there; we’ve already withdrawn. But when we left, the outline of the shed had already taken shape, covering the entire valley. There was a high wall and electric fence outside, surveillance cameras everywhere."
"About that place, have you guys from the group stopped intervening?"
For Li Qing, this wasn’t good news.
He shook his head and said quietly, "Us? We have too little power to handle such a big matter. We no longer have the authority to manage it."
"I get the sense that we don’t have the authority to handle it anymore either. However, I’ve heard that several corporations have moved in, which is quite confusing. Group Leader Li, you guys have pulled out and don’t let us deal with it either, but you’re letting some corporations take over. It’s a bit strange," Wang Baichuan said.
He couldn’t figure it out, but Li Qing had a rough idea. It was probably those cultivation families closely related to the Ninth Bureau that had moved in, presenting themselves as corporations to the outside world. Some even genuinely ran various businesses.
"I was quite curious at first, but now it seems we can only wait for the outcome," Li Qing said with a resigned laugh.
Wang Baichuan nodded, "It does seem that way now."
"Group Leader Li, call me whenever you have time. I’ll take some leave in advance to have a proper drink with you," he said.
"Agreed!" Li Qing nodded with a smile.
As Wang Baichuan stood up, his expression instantly turned serious when he looked at Lü Zong again, "Lü Zong, about that case you mentioned earlier, where is the person?"
"I’ll take Officer Wang there," said Lü Zong as he stood up.
After exchanging farewells with Li Qing, Wang Baichuan left with Lü Changxi.
The woman sitting at the table looked at Li Qing with some restraint, her curiosity getting the better of her, "President Li, are you still involved with them?"
"Sort of," Li Qing replied thoughtfully.
The woman seemed like she wanted to say more, but ultimately didn’t gather the courage to do so.
Before long, Lü Changxi returned with his hand rubbing his cheek, complaining as soon as he sat down, "That kid, Wang Baichuan, really gives me the stink eye. Talking to him is a real test for my quick temper. Qingzi, why is he so nice to you?"
"About that, I mentioned it briefly to President Li before. It’s just that, but I can’t go into details," Li Qing said with a light smile.
President Li nodded, "Alright, alright, I’ll curb my damned curiosity. But from what he said, do you still have any power?"
"Sort of, just a little bit, not much," Li Qing replied, "Let’s drink. It’s not good to talk too much about this. I’m a bit confused myself, so don’t get yourself tangled up in trouble just because you heard a few words from me."
Lü Changxi nodded repeatedly, "If you say so, then I definitely can’t ask any more."
