Chapter 392: I Chose Each Flower Personally

“Leave my plate here. Throw away the trays those two just used.”

Xu Shaochen washed his hands at the kitchen faucet, speaking calmly.

“Boss, I’ve ordered the flowers you requested.”

After receiving a phone call, a bodyguard walked up to Young Master Xu and respectfully reported.

Xu Shaochen nodded and walked out of the villa without saying a word.

Long Yi and Long Er hurriedly followed.

Last night’s dinner with Mei Liangying was disrupted, so they rescheduled for tonight.

Although he just ate, the date isn’t about the food, it’s about building a connection.

Here’s a tip for all the singles: when you’re not familiar with a woman, don’t try to surprise her.

Like suddenly showing up at her place or workplace with flowers, because you don’t know who might be around, which can lead to awkwardness.

So it’s best to call or text in advance, giving her a heads-up to avoid any unexpected awkward situations.

As for when she becomes your girlfriend? Don’t worry, an occasional surprise is delightful, but doing it daily just shows you have too much free time.

A moment later, three identical Big Benz cars drove out of the villa area.

………

Songshan Hospital.

Li Bao and Zheng Nan lay in hospital beds, both legs in casts.

Xu Shaochen instructed the guards to be measured in their actions.

Though it was a beating, it only incapacitated them for a few months, without causing permanent injury.

It was merely a lesson.

“Damn it! I swear I will kill that jerk! Absolutely!”

Zheng Nan griped his bed sheets, growling with venom and anger in his eyes.

It was the first time he’d been so humiliated, tossed in the street like a dead dog, intolerable and unforgivable.

Li Bao said nothing, the efficiency of Xu Shaochen’s revenge was daunting, and he dared not think of revenge anymore.

Sigh, I made a wrong judgment this time, what was I thinking? Zheng Nan may kick up a stink in Hong Kong, but on the mainland, he stands no chance against someone like Xu Shaochen.

Look at their efficiency, their brutal methods, they simply never consider us a threat.

“Quiet! Why are you yelling? This is a hospital, no noise! Have some decency!”

A nurse passing by the door snapped at Zheng Nan.

“Damn!”

Finally, after the nurse left, Zheng Nan cursed and struggled to grab the phone on the nightstand, dialing out.

“Big Brother, help me! I was beaten into the hospital… No, no, don’t tell Dad, he’ll kill me. Just send a couple of strong guys. I swear, I didn’t provoke them; they bullied me first.”

After a bunch of excuses, speaking complete nonsense, he hung up, eyes gleaming coldly.

Damn, just you wait. I’ll settle this account with you tonight.

“South Young Master, maybe… we should just let it go. These people are trouble tonight.”

Li Bao cautiously suggested, fearing being dragged further into the situation.

After all, he owed his start to Zheng Nan; when called, he couldn’t just sit back.

However, if they really rush in, would that not be suicidal? To save his own neck, he wanted to dissuade Zheng Nan.

“Bang!”

Before he could finish, Zheng Nan, already fuming, threw his phone at him and cursed angrily: “Did you eat crap? I’ve been beaten! Who’s easier to bully, him or me?”

Li Bao pursed his lips, silent; wise words can’t stop a fool from ruin, old sayings never deceive.

Of course, he also needed to think of a way out for himself, not senselessly marching to his death.

………………

Outside Qianyin Entertainment Company.

Xu Shaochen leaned against the car holding a bouquet of roses, checking his watch now and then.

A few minutes later, his eyes brightened and he stepped forward with the bouquet.

“Mr. Xu, sorry to keep you waiting.”

Mei Liangying smiled apologetically at Xu Shaochen, her short hair paired with a white business suit made her look smart and refreshing, though the curves added a touch of sensual appeal.

“I just arrived too, these are for you. I personally picked each flower.”

Xu Shaochen smiled, offering the roses.

Of course, this was entirely made-up nonsense.

He had just called the florist, but now he claimed to have chosen each flower personally.

“Thank you, Mr. Xu, they’re beautiful.”

Mei Liangying accepted the roses, sincerely praising them, as regardless of her true feelings, she couldn’t let Xu Shaochen’s efforts go unappreciated.

“Don’t call me Mr. Xu, it feels awkward. Just call me Shaochen like Mei Liangxin does.”

Xu Shaochen naturally took her handbag, narrowing the distance between them.

Mei Liangying hesitated but then timidly tried calling him: “Shao… chen?”

“Let’s go, I booked the place.”

Xu Shaochen said, taking one of her hands as they headed to the car.

Mei Liangying wanted to pull away, but worried about the embarrassment in public, she let it be.

Moreover, did he not do it intentionally? Actually, he did, because Xu, the crafty guy, knew she would think it was unintentional.

“Was that… the Chairman?”

“It seems… so.”

Only then did the Qianyin Entertainment employees realize what happened, causing a stir.

“Wow, the Chairman actually accepted a man’s flowers!”

“And she was holding hands too?”

Everyone looked as if they had witnessed something unbelievable, like hearing that a world war was starting.

Since joining, they’d seen all sorts of people pursuing Mei Liangying, but she always stayed indifferent.

They assumed she might be uninterested in men. How else to explain so many suitors but none sparked her interest?

Today, that theory shattered.

“I think the guy earlier seemed quite fitting for our Chairman.” A woman dreamily commented.

“What’s good about him?”

“Hmm… by the looks of it, he might drive a Ferrari with one hand. That’s a plus, right?”

………………

It certainly is a plus, one that most men nationwide lack.
