Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Bai Zhenzhu was caught in the middle between Qiqi and Lu Kai, which was giving her a bit of a headache.

He hurriedly stepped forward to explain:

"Chairman Lu, this is my friend. She works here, and wearing makeup is a job requirement."

She had originally intended to introduce the two of them, but Lu Kai's words had angered Qi Qi so much that there was no need for an introduction.

Qiqi snorted coldly:

"That kid doesn't know anything about fashion, I won't stoop to his level."

She hugged Bai Zhenzhu's arm, her voice full of worry:

"Sister, look at him, all greasy hair and powdered face, he's obviously a bad guy. Tell him to get away and ignore him."

Oily hair and powdered face?

Lu Kai was furious.

This was the first time he had encountered someone who cursed him to his face. Others, even if they disliked him, would only curse him behind his back.

The little girl in front of me, who has made herself up to look like a ghost, is really bold.

Lu Kai gave a forced smile:

"Mr. Bai, your friend is quite the smooth talker."

Bai Zhenzhu thought to herself, "How can you blame Qiqi? Didn't you start the fight first?"

She knew that Lu Kai was quick-witted and domineering, one of the most arrogant people in Rongcheng, and he never had to worry about offending anyone with his words and actions.

Qiqi is just a little girl, and he must have been unhappy to say that to her face.

So she kindly reminded her:

"Mr. Lu, you were the one who mentioned my friend first."

Lu Kai seemed to suddenly remember something and said "Oh".

Bai Zhenzhu and Qiqi thought he would apologize, but instead he looked at Qiqi again.

The laughter grew even louder:

"I'm telling the truth, even ghosts would be terrified if they saw her."

White Pearl: "..."

Qiqi: "..."

After Lu Kai finished speaking, he left with his sharp tongue, making Qi Qi so angry that she almost jumped up.

White Pearl was also helpless:

“Men don’t know how to appreciate beauty. I think your makeup is pretty good, it’s flamboyant, but it’s also a form of self-protection.”

Qiqi nodded repeatedly:

"Sister, you understand me best. I only made myself look like this because I didn't want to cause any trouble."

Bai Zhenzhu sincerely said:

"You're great. Don't worry about what others think, just bravely walk your own path."

"Chairman Lu just has a sharp tongue. He doesn't really mean what he says, so you don't need to take his words to heart."

Kiki snorted:

"I don't care what he says."

"To judge others without distinguishing right from wrong, I think he is the one who is both insecure and arrogant."

After the customers on stage finished singing, Qiqi didn't have time to talk to Bai Zhenzhu. She quickly drank a few sips of water and went up on stage.

Even if she doesn't sing, she shouldn't rest for too long.

After listening to her sing a song, Bai Zhenzhu took Mo Xiaoju back to the private room.

After getting off work, Qiqi greeted Bai Zhenzhu before taking a taxi home.

She has now rented a car specifically for this purpose, which picks her up from get off work on time every day, making it convenient and safe.

It was getting late, so Huo Zheng and his group dispersed.

Zhan Xiang and Meng Fei drank quite a bit of alcohol. Since neither of them lived in the compound, Jian Shuhang helped them call a taxi.

A group of people stood by the roadside to flag down a car, and Lu Kai's group also came out.

Huo Zheng and Jian Shuhang actually spotted a familiar face among that group of people.

Ma Tianxiang also saw Huo Zheng and Jian Shuhang, and walked over with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Hang, what a coincidence."

Huo Zheng ignored him.

Jian Shuhang patted Ma Tianxiang on the shoulder:

"You've started doing business with Sheng Hong. You're getting more and more successful, kid."

Ma Tianxiang puffed out his chest, unable to hide his smugness:

"Hey, it's okay."

"But I'm not as good as you and Brother Zheng, so I'll just play around."

Huo Zheng had always disliked this person. This person had tried to take advantage of Bai Zhenzhu when he was drunk, and Jian Shuhang had cut off all contact with him ever since.

I never expected to get involved with Sheng Hong.

At this moment, Lu Kai walked over.

Ma Tianxiang immediately perked up:

"Chairman Lu, I've run into some old friends. Let me introduce them to you."

"This is General Manager Huo from Huaxing, and this is General Manager Jian from the renovation company..."

Mr. Jian, who works in the renovation industry...

Ma Tianxiang has really gotten too cocky.

Huo Zheng turned around immediately.

If Ma Tianxiang wants to use him and Jian Shuhang to save face, then it depends on whether Huo Zheng is willing to give him that face.

Upon seeing this, Ma Tianxiang's expression changed.

Jian Shu Hang smiled at Lu Kai:

"Chairman Lu is here too, what a coincidence."

Lu Kai glanced at Bai Zhenzhu and Huo Zheng, and clicked his tongue:

"What a coincidence! I was just in the way of President Bai and President Huo, so I didn't dare to go over and say hello."

Jian Shuhang laughed:

"Then let's arrange a meal sometime, how about at Mr. Bai's new restaurant?"

Lu Kai smiled and said:

"Whatever, I'm just worried that Mr. Huo won't be able to eat if he sees me."

Huo Zheng remained calm:

"I have no business dealings with Chairman Lu, so I will not attend your dinner."

Hearing their conversation, Ma Tianxiang, who was standing next to them, was dumbfounded.

"Haha, Chairman Lu, so you two know each other?"

Lu Kai patted Ma Tianxiang on the shoulder:

"Xiao Ma, Mr. Huo and Mr. Jian are old acquaintances, didn't you know?"

Ma Tianxiang: "..." He was older than Lu Kai, but only a few days younger than Jian Shuhang.

Ma Tianxiang had stopped associating with Jian Shuhang a long time ago, so naturally he was unaware that Jian Shuhang and Lu Kai were collaborating.

An awkward laugh:

"I thought I didn't know you, and I was going to introduce you..."

Suddenly, a taxi rushed towards the group.

Seeing Bai Zhenzhu standing outside the crowd, Lu Kai reached out and pulled her without thinking.

However, his hand grasped nothing; Bai Zhenzhu was pulled into Huo Zheng's arms first, and the others also stepped back.

The taxi's tires ran over the spot where Bai Zhenzhu had just been standing and then came to a sudden stop.

Bai Zhenzhu's face turned pale with fright.

"Are you alright?" Huo Zheng held her tightly, patting her back.

"It's nothing," Bai Zhenzhu shook her head.

Zhan Xiang and Meng Fei were sobered up by the shock. They had been standing nearby, and Jian Shuhang and the others had dragged them over.

With his fiery temper, Zhan Xiang kicked the taxi door and, together with Ma Tao, dragged the driver out of the car.

The driver got out of the car and first did a figure-eight motion, his face flushed, indicating that he had been drinking.

Zhan Xiang threw a punch right away:

"You're so drunk you're practically a lunatic, yet you're still out soliciting customers. I think you're a stupid pig running into a butcher's house, looking for death."

Jian Shuhang immediately instructed the security guards who arrived to call the police.

If these dangerous elements were to take to the streets, how would anyone else survive?

Bai Zhenzhu patted Huo Zheng's hand.

Just as Huo Zheng was about to let go, he heard Lu Kai speaking in a sarcastic tone again:

"Mr. Huo is indeed trained; his skills are truly agile. Unlike us refined people, well, I concede."

Huo Zheng knew that when he said he was admitting defeat, he was definitely not referring to his physical skills.

He immediately retorted without hesitation:

"Chairman Lu, don't flatter yourself. Nobody considers you a rival."

The implication is that you're not even a rival in love.

Lu Kai: "..."

My lung lobe was stabbed again.

Lu Kai instructed Zhu Fan:

"Don't go to karaoke anymore, it's so noisy it gives me a headache."

Zhu Fan: "...Yes, Chairman Lu."

You were the one who provoked President Huo, and now you can't win the argument and you're just complaining about the noise.
