âAre you the boss of Luo Workshop?â
Su Li, who had been sitting on the sofa, spoke this time. After all, she was Sumirâs real boss. Meeting her competitor, it was natural that she could not stay calm.
âTo be precise, Iâm the person in charge of Luo Workshop, fronting the business. Above me, there is a big boss who is the real owner of Luo Workshop,â Zhang Dashan replied with a smile.
Su Li asked, âSo, who is he?â
Xiao Luo could not help but get a little nervous suddenly, worried that Zhang Dashan would reveal his identity as the owner.
âWell⦠If Goddess Su wants to meet him, I can introduce him to you. And you can sit down and discuss the matters pertaining to our cooperation in Xiahai City. What do you think?â Zhang Dashan said with a cunning look on his face.
âDiscussing cooperation? Huh, do you think your Luo Workshop has the leverage to talk about collaboration with our Sumir? It is preposterous!â Chai Zhiying sneered.
Zhang Dashan was enraged. âAuntie, please stop. If you canât talk sense, then can you please keep silent? Listening to your words makes me want to throw up everything I ate tonight,â he retorted.
âYou!â
Chai Zhi was quivering with rage.
Oh, my God, the guy is so amazing!
Su Canye started to respect Zhang Dashan. It was the first time he saw someone who could stand up to the ferocious Chai Zhiying with words.
Zhang Dashan turned around and looked directly at Su Li. âGoddess Su, youâre Sumirâs boss, so Iâll just ask you for your opinion. Luo Workshop has the intention to cooperate with Sumir in the Xiahaiâs market. What do you think about such an arrangement?â he asked.
Su Li stood up, and in a clear voice, she said, âI admit that the Luo Workshop is very powerful in Jiangcheng. If Sumir tried to get a slice of the market in Jiangcheng, Iâm afraid that we would have to withdraw within a month. Jiangcheng is your Luo Workshopâs home ground, but Xiahai is Sumirâs home ground. Here, weâre in charge.â
âTo put it simply, Goddess Su doesnât think weâre qualified to collaborate with you. Is that what you mean?â Zhang Dashan asked.
âThe meaning of Su Liâs words are already clear. Why do you insist on asking? Do you want to embarrass yourself?â Chai Zhiying snorted.
Su Li did not say anything, acknowledging Chai Zhiyingâs words tacitly.
Zhang Dashan smiled and glanced at Xiao Luo discreetly. âI get it. Goddess Su is right. If someone comes to Jiangcheng to take a market share of our Luo Workshopâs business, we will also see them as a thorn in our flesh and will do our best to pull it out as quickly as we can,â he said.
Su Canye went over and patted Zhang Dashan on his shoulder in a friendly manner. âIt is good, you know that. So, big-faced Bro, although I admire you, I am still going to warn you that you should not try to encroach into this business in Xiahai City,â he said, âLuo Workshop will not be able to withstand my sisterâs Sumir. So, itâs not too late to stop now before you suffer a greater loss. If you guys proceed to open for business, you will lose all your investment.â
Zhang Dashan did not respond to his words. Instead, he took a good look at Su Canye from top to bottom with an expression of surprise. âWow, such a handsome young man you are! You are indeed Goddess Suâs younger brother. You are so handsome, just like Mr. McDreamy in every girlâs heart. If you break into showbiz, you will most definitely charm all the young girls.â
âBro, I admire your astuteness and good taste! Nice to meet you. My name is Su Canye. Just call me Xiao Su,â Su Canye responded, visibly impressed by Zhang Dashanâs words. He put out his hand and took the initiative to make Zhang Dashanâs acquaintance.
âYour brother-in-law already introduced me just now. If you donât think Iâm offending you, then just call me Big Brother,â said Zhang Dashan.
Big⦠Big Brother?
Everyoneâs expression changed slightly.
Xiao Luo immediately flew into a rage. âWhat fu*king âBig Brotherâ are you talking about! Donât act like you are the head of a gang!â
Zhang Dashan looked at Xiao Luo calmly. âNo, Iâm certainly not! My name is Zhang Dashan, isnât it? âDaâ means âbig,â and add that word to âbrother,â isnât that the âBig Brother?â It is not the âBig Brotherâ that you had in mind,â he explained.
Haha, haha!
Shen Qingyan, amused by Zhang Dashanâs quick response, broke into laughter. She had the feeling that this man was an interesting person to get to know.
Xiao Luo was speechless at Zhang Dashanâs brazen-faced response. âDonât you have any shame?â he retorted.
Before Zhang Dashan could say anything, Su Canye cut in first. âBrother-in-law, I think itâs a good idea to call him Big Brother.â
Zhang Dashan chuckled. âThatâs amazing. Xiao Su, I appreciate you even more now,â he replied.
Su Canye said, âBig brother, I want to ask you a question. You must tell me the truth.â
âGo ahead. If thereâs anything you need to know, feel free to ask. I will definitely tell you the truth.â Zhang Dashan patted his chest and vowed.
âAm I really handsome?â Su Canye asked, and evidently, that was what he was most concerned about.
Zhang Dashan placed his hand on Su Canyeâs shoulder and said, âYes! I think you are bloody handsome!â And he truly meant it as he marveled at the young manâs good looks.
Su Canye was overjoyed. âBig brother, I just admire your honesty and straightforwardness, haha, hahaâ¦â
âIf being handsome is a sin, then you have committed a heinous sin!â Zhang Dashan piled it on.
âBig Brother, come on, let me hug you. You have such fabulous taste. You know me, indeed! â
âHere, man.â
The two of them hugged each other, feeling as if they regretted not to have met sooner.
Everyone in the room was speechless.
âIâve never seen such a shameless person!â
Chai Zhiying could not endure it anymore. After saying that, she turned around and stormed out of the place.
Shen Qingyan giggled as she walked out after Chai Zhiying. âXiao Luo, your friendâs very interesting,â she said.
âIndeed, he is interesting. The news that you knew Luo Workshop wanted to break into Xiahaiâs market. You got that from him, right?â Su Liâs red lips gently opened as she spoke to Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo nodded. âYes.â
âThank goodness, youâre different from him.â
Su Li seemed to sigh with relief, then she stood up and carried Su Xiaobei out. Luo Pingxiang followed behind her.
The little girl waved at Xiao Luo and said, âGoodnight, Daddy.â
Xiao Luo, Zhang Dashan, and Su Canye were the only ones left in the apartment.
âXiao Su, youâre really handsome. Youâre even much better than those popular young hunks,â Zhang Dashan said, continuing to tease Su Canye.
âBig brother, youâre too profound. It was a great privilege to be able to get to know you.â
âHehehe⦠It seems that we are two of a kind, Xiao Su!â
âBig brother, I wish to propose one more hug to seal our friendship.â
âSure! Come on!â
The two of them hugged each other again.
Xiao Luo couldnât stand it anymore. He stepped toward them and delivered each a kick to separate them.
âOuch! Brother-in-law, what are you doing?â
âLao Xiao, is there something wrong with your brain? Why are you kicking us?â
Su Canye and Zhang Dashan both reacted with angry scowls on their faces.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âKicking you? Not only will I kick you, but I will also help you guys loosen your muscles for free. Damn it, you guys are f*cking disgusting.â
Xiao Luo stretched his neck a few times and cracked his knuckles, revealing a devilish smile.
Su Canye and Zhang Dashanâs screams echoed throughout the apartment.
