93 Spare My Pride (2/2)

”Ah, that makes sense.”

”Are you coming or not? Can you please just give me a straightforward answer?”

”Sure, why not? I'll get a free meal out of it, in any case.”

Zhang Dashan jumped up, took off the shirt which Xiao Luo had given him, and put on one that was more formal. ”Since Sister Luo is introducing someone to you, you should pay more attention. What if it's a pretty girl that you are attracted to, then you can…hehehe…you know…”

His smile was frivolous, his expression lewd, and his voice lecherous. His eyebrows were jumping up and down as he giggled. He was really the best of the best.

To hell with your understanding!

Xiao Luo really wanted to kick him in the butt again.

…

Jiangcheng was divided into four districts: the Southeast District, the Northwest District, the Guangming District, and the Taihe District.

Huaye was in the northwest. Xiao Luo lived in the southeast area, less than one kilometer from the border of the Guangming area, where Xiao Ruyi worked at a government hospital.

The drive from Xiao Luo's residence to Xiao Ruyi's workplace would take about an hour and a half without traffic, so he set off with Zhang Dashan at six o'clock that evening.

”Old Xiao, you take the wheel. I didn't sleep well last night, so let me close my eyes for a bit on the way there,” Zhang Dashan said, throwing his car keys over to Xiao Luo. With a yawn, he walked toward the front passenger seat.

”You're not afraid that I'll end up crashing your car?” Xiao Luo said jokingly.

”If you damage it, then you will buy me a new one. Anyway, you're rich now and have assets worth more than 1 million. You are going to be a CEO soon. I'm afraid that, out of our university classmates, you will be the one who turned out the best. Hmph, if Zhao Mengqi knew about this, she would definitely cry over the fact she missed out on a huge mountain like you.”

”Hold up, I still haven't figured out if I should take over Luo's Workshop or not. Let me consider it over the next few days,” Xiao Luo said.

Zhang Dashan really couldn't figure out what was going through his old friend's mind. What was there to think about? This opportunity was obviously a pie in the sky landing on top of his head. If he didn't take over the business, was he waiting till someone else did?

With a sigh, Zang Dashan conceded, ”Fine, I won't talk about it anymore. Anyway, I have already decided that no matter what you are doing, I will follow you. Oho! With the two of us working together, imagine that! We will make it in Jiangcheng, no, nationwide!” Suddenly he thought of something else and added, ”If we can achieve recognition from the country's leaders, that would make us the pride of our ancestors. That would be enough for me to boast about for the rest of my life.”

”Look at you!” Xiao Luo said as he started the car slowly. He really despised him.

[Guangming District People's Hospital]

One man and two women were waiting at the door of the hospital.

The man's skin was fair and clean. He had a scholarly vibe about him with a baby face that made him look like a 17- or 18-year-old teenager. But his actual age was 24, and he was Xiao Luo's brother-in-law, Tang Ren.

The girl standing next to Tang Ren was Xiao Ruyi. She had short, clean hair and wore an oversized long-sleeved t-shirt with slim black trousers underneath. She had distinctive features and exuded the aura of a pretty girl who'd come from a humble family.

Xiao Ruyi was talking to a girl wearing a white long-sleeved hood. ”Yuyu, let me tell you this, my brother is much more handsome in real life than in photos. His personality is particularly great. When you see him, you will definitely fall in love.”

The girl lowered her head and smiled shyly, then in a humble way, she said, ”Your brother has a degree, so I'm scared that he'll look down on me.”

”Education is nothing so long as you feel something for each other. Am I right, Tang Ren?” Xiao Ruyi asked, glancing at Tang Ren.

Tang Ren immediately smiled and chimed in his agreement, ”Yes, yes, that's right!”

The way he pronounced the word 'right' was somehow off.

Xiao Ruyi kicked him and said, ”Right your head! You must have watched too many sitcoms. Not only do you not learn anything, but you learn to speak like an old lady!”

”Wifey, it's okay if you beat me at home, but when we're in the outside world, can you leave some pride for me, please?” Tang Ren said, whispering in her ear.
