Chapter 240: Let Me Review A Bit More

“President Liao, are you alright? President Liao.”

It was only after Xu Shaochen left that the four bodyguards dared to get up. They hastily helped Liao Jie to his feet.

After all, Liao Jie’s status was much higher than theirs. If something happened to them, it wouldn’t matter, but Liao Jie was a different story.

However, it was Liao Jie who ended up with a broken finger, while they got away unscathed.

Once they got back, they feared they’d be in trouble. They would have to rely on Liao Jie to speak on their behalf.

“Let’s go. We’re heading back to Songshan tonight.”

Enduring the excruciating pain, Liao Jie squeezed out a few words between clenched teeth. His shattered right finger continued to bleed.

After all, fingers are connected to the heart. The pain from a finger injury is something no other part of the body can compare to.

He was scared. He didn’t want to stay in Jiangzhou for even a second longer. Xu Shaochen was a madman who didn’t care about the Mei Family at all.

All this trouble just for one of Mei Liangxin’s employees. Isn’t that exactly how a madman behaves? …………

After leaving the hotel, Xu Shaochen dialed Mei Liangxin’s number.

“Little Chen, if there’s something, speak up. If not, you’re dismissed.”

Mei Liangxin’s laid-back voice came through the phone, clearly enjoying an easy life.

“Liao Jie came to find me again. Your Mei Family is too powerful. I have no choice but to surrender. Please process my resignation.” Xu Shaochen spoke with a tone of helplessness.

“Is there anything else? If not, I’m going to take a nap.” Mei Liangxin’s voice remained calm, not believing a word of it.

Not to mention that their relationship was very good.

Even if they only had an average relationship, Xu Shaochen was not the type to bow down to others. What kind of joke was that?

Forget about just the Mei Family. Even if there were ten Mei Families, Xu Shaochen wouldn’t bat an eye.

“Okay, I knew you had faith in me. I broke one of his fingers and sent him back with a message. If your Mei Family still doesn’t come around… well, I won’t be polite anymore.” Xu Shaochen said this as he opened the car door for Xie Wei.

“Can I say that I really hope they don’t come around?”

“Hahaha, it seems you’ve had a rough time in the Mei Family all these years. I’ll come find you soon. Tell me all those unhappy things so I can enjoy myself.” Xu Shaochen laughed heartily, clearly reveling in the schadenfreude.

“Get lost.”

Mei Liangxin cursed and then immediately hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Xu Shaochen shrugged.

He made the call just to test Mei Liangxin’s attitude. After all, he was a member of the Mei Family.

If the Mei Family continued to disrespect him, he would definitely take action against them. After all, he never had the habit of passively taking a beating.

If at that time Mei Liangxin still had feelings for the Mei Family, wouldn’t that make things difficult for him?

However, from what he’d just heard, Mei Liangxin had truly given up. That meant he could act without hesitation when the time came.

“To the university.”

Xu Shaochen said to Long Yi, placing one hand on Xie Wei’s thigh.

This wasn’t flirting; it was just a habit. Holding onto something felt natural to him.

Xie Wei was used to it and didn’t react at all. She simply leaned quietly against Xu Shaochen.

Besides, this was Xu Shaochen’s way of showing that he liked her, and she was happy with that.

By now, Xie Wei had developed a dependency on Xu Shaochen, like a cat depends on its owner. She enjoyed the feeling of Xu Shaochen gently stroking her.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Jiangzhou University.

“Bye-bye.”

Xie Wei gave Xu Shaochen a peck on the cheek, then got out of the car.

“To the factory.”

Xu Shaochen was going to meet Mei Liangxin in person. The earlier call was to test his attitude. If Mei Liangxin still had feelings for the Mei Family, then there would be no need to meet today.

But since he didn’t, Xu Shaochen felt it necessary to have a proper discussion with him.

Soon, they arrived at the factory. Xu Shaochen told Long Yi and Long Er to wait outside while he went in alone.

“Hello, Chairman Xu.”

“Hello, Chairman Xu.”

Along the way, many employees and managers greeted Xu Shaochen respectfully.

When Xu Shaochen reached Mei Liangxin’s office, he found that Mei Liangxin wasn’t there.

“Chairman Xu, are you looking for Manager Mei? He’s on the rooftop.”

An office worker carrying documents passed by and said this to Xu Shaochen.

Xu Shaochen’s expression changed. The rooftop? Could this guy be thinking about doing something extreme?

After all, sometimes those who seem thick-skinned on the surface hide much deeper, more suppressed emotions. When these feelings explode, it can be intense, and they’d easily walk down a dark path and do something extreme.

Thinking that, Xu Shaochen immediately sprinted toward the rooftop.

When he arrived there, Xu Shaochen breathed a sigh of relief. He found Mei Liangxin holding binoculars, observing the building opposite. There was no sign of him attempting suicide.

“What are you doing?”

Xu Shaochen asked, puzzled.

“Shh! Don’t disturb me. I’m studying the miraculous outcomes and consequences that occur when two opposite sexes engage in physical collision in various positions. I even applied Darwin’s theory of evolution to this subject…”

Without turning his head, Mei Liangxin spouted a bunch of nonsense that Xu Shaochen couldn’t understand.

Xu Shaochen immediately snatched the binoculars out of his hands and looked through them.

Inside the apartment building opposite, a young couple was stark naked, enthusiastically engaging in intimate activities in the living room, trying out different positions.

Xu Shaochen felt like a million imaginary horses were galloping across his mind. He feared Mei Liangxin would commit suicide, but there he was, peeping at a couple’s private moment.

And on top of that, he spouted a bunch of nonsense like he was making a scientific observation.

Alright, once again, Xu Shaochen had underestimated Mei Liangxin’s shamelessness.

“Have you finished? It’s my turn.” Mei Liangxin eagerly reached out to grab the binoculars. After all, it was a live broadcast!

Xu Shaochen slapped his hand away, berating him, “What are you doing? Can’t you show some decency? Peeking at others doing this kind of thing with binoculars… I’m embarrassed for you.”

“Can you at least stop looking while you’re saying that? Return the binoculars to me first.” Mei Liangxin rolled his eyes, thinking Xu Shaochen appeared like a prude.

Xu Shaochen lectured, “It’s different! You’re a single dog, so that counts as peeping. I’m learning their advanced techniques. Learning is a never-ending process. You must study to improve, understand?”

Mei Liangxin: “…………”

He finally realized the benefits of reading more books.

Is this even human language?

Just look. When an educated person acts indecently, it’s called studying. But when it’s someone else, it’s called being shameless.

“Forget it. You watch. I’ve learned enough.” Xu Shaochen handed the binoculars back to Mei Liangxin.

Mei Liangxin chuckled and eagerly took the binoculars. “Let me review a bit more, solidify the theory, and strive to apply what I’ve learned in practice.”

Just as he finished speaking, he eagerly raised the binoculars to his eyes, only to find that the couple had already closed their curtains…

No wonder Xu Shaochen had handed the binoculars back so readily.
