”Liu-ge, I really have to thank you.” Inside a private room in the Blue Nation, Cai Xuexing held up a cup of crimson red wine, and shook it at Liu Du. His face was filled with gratitude.

Li Yang also came over, his body covered in fat, half resting on Liu Du's body, his face carried a charming smile: ”Brother, I really want to repay you with my body.”

”Fuck you.” Liu Du reached out and pushed him on the shoulder, raised his cup and waved at Cai Xuexing: ”You guys can do it if you want.”

”Of course.” Li Yang's thin eyes formed slits as he smiled at Liu Du to please him.

”That's right. A person's salary is more than three times that of a doctor. How can it not be comfortable?” Zhang Ling had a lonely expression on her face. It seemed that such a high salary did not satisfy her at all.

Seeing that Zhang Ling was not interested, Liu Du laughed: ”What's wrong? It seems like you have something on your mind. ”

Zhang Ling's eyes flashed, under Liu Du's direct gaze, she finally let out a light sigh: ”Giving us such a high salary, yet never doing anything, making us uncomfortable.”

”So it's like that.” Liu Du thought for a while, and then laughed: ”The medicine factory has only just started, so many things have to be put on the right track, and after a few days it will be better.”

But seeing that Zhang Ling was still frowning, Cai Xuexing and Li Yang who were by the side seemed to have the same thought, Liu Du thought slightly and slowly said: ”This matter, when we meet Chuchu another day, I will explain it to her clearly, and will definitely not let the three of you just get your wages, do nothing, hehe.”

When it came to Chuchu, Zhang Ling and the other two looked a little embarrassed. Liu Du saw that something was amiss and could not help but say, ”What's wrong, could it be that you are hiding something from me?”

Cai Xuexing and Li Yang looked at Zhang Ling at the same time, causing Zhang Ling to feel embarrassed. Her usually straightforward character, unexpectedly became awkward: ”Brother Liu, it's … it's like this …”

looked at Zhang Ling embarrassedly and she started to stutter as well. She bit her lips and finally said it, ”Miss Chuchu will be here in a while.”

”Oh.” was not as angry as they had expected, they had only responded with a light sound, Chuchu Chu was not a ferocious beast, so what was there to be afraid of, it was just that the little girl was too clingy, she had initially wanted to come out and relax a little, but could not avoid it. Thinking of that, she became gloomy, pointed at the three of them, and scolded them: ”You three, to be taken in so quickly, you three, you guys are too undecided!”

Seeing that Liu Du was not angry, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief. Cai Xuexing came closer and approached Liu Du: ”Brother Liu, I see that Miss Chu treats you well, don't you have any thoughts?”

”Tsk, she's just a little girl, what thoughts can I have?” Liu Du did not mean what he said. It was not that he did not feel anything towards Chuchu, but he felt guilty inside, as if he was the one who had seduced a little girl.

”You can't say that. Miss Chu is already 18 years old. Brother Liu, you're not big either, but I think you two are quite compatible.” Two slits on Li Yang's fat face shot out two vulgar rays of light.

After Zhang Ling had said her piece, she sat quietly at the side. She interjected, ”Brother Liu, Miss Chu has really fallen in love with you. This time, it was her who insisted on coming after hearing of our appointment.”

Liu Du's mind was in a mess. Actually, he only felt that Chuchu was too small and not suitable for him, and there was also the Chu Clan that pressured him to such an extent. That was why he had such a strong repulsion towards Chuchu.

The ringing of the phone interrupted Liu Du's train of thought. He picked up the phone and saw Chuchu's name, a complicated look appearing in his eyes.

”Bro, I'm already at the entrance of the Blue Nation. Come out and pick me up.” Chuchu's voice, which was filled with excitement and attachment, rang on the phone.

”Alright, wait for me.” Isn't it just the Chu Clan, there will be a day when I will definitely stand at a higher level. Liu Du lightly shook his head, tossed everything to the back of my head, stood up, and walked out.

”Sister Hong, what's wrong?” In the great hall of the Blue Nation, Zhang Zhushuan asked while looking at Zhou Yanhong who was staring fixedly in one direction.

Zhou Yanhong's face suddenly turned red, within her cold eyes, there was a trace of bashfulness: ”Nothing, I just saw a person, it feels a little familiar.”

Zhang Zhushuan followed her line of sight and saw Liu Du. He did not give much thought about it, ”Sister Hong, this person, isn't he the one who …”

Saying that, the outspoken Zhang Zhushuan did not dare say anymore. He carefully turned his head to look at Zhou Yanhong, only to discover that her face was even redder, but surprisingly, he did not get angry.

”What is it? Do you know him? ” Zhou Yanhong stared at Liu Du's back figure, and asked casually.

”I …” How could Zhou Yanhong know that Zhang Zhushuan and Zhou Tianming had clashed against each other?

”What did you hide from me?” A layer of frost covered Zhou Yanhong's cold and elegant face.

Zhang Zhushuan felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His entire body trembled for a moment, and his words were no longer prompt.

With regards to the matter of running into someone, if it was revealed, Zhou Tianming would most likely tear him apart, so Zhang Zhushuan could only take advantage of it and change the topic.

”Oh, what is it?” A faint hint of interest ignited within Zhou Yanhong's eyes but her expression was as cold as usual, and she did not know what she was thinking about.

Zhang Zhushuan observed his surroundings and upon seeing that Zhou Yanhong's expression did not change much, he mustered up his courage and said: ”It's like this, I have a brother that is following Qi Yuntian, I heard him say that …”

Zhang Zhushuan told them about Liu Du and his arranged battle.

”Really? This guy is really unexpected.” Zhou Yanhong said softly and waved: ”Alright, you can go back to your work.”

Zhang Zhushuan was relieved from the burden and was about to leave, but then Zhou Yanhong suddenly asked: ”Tian Ming, what are you doing these past few days?”

The heavy burden that he had just put down was instantly repressed in his heart. Zhang Zhushuan broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to look straight at Zhou Yanhong. ”Brother Ming, he … he has been busy with work.”

”Hmph, work.” A hint of disappointment flashed across Zhou Yanhong's eyes, and her mood also became a bit gloomy: ”I'm afraid he's together with that little demon.”

Zhang Zhushuan did not dare speak, he just stood there like he was sitting on pins and needles, lowered his head, and did not dare look up.

”How many times have I told him that the little demon girl is from the Ma Laoban? I told him not to touch her.” After a slight pause, a pained and worried expression appeared in Zhou Yanhong's eyes. ”Tell him that if he's with that woman again, he shouldn't acknowledge me as his sister!”
