My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

the next day.

I arrived at the entrance of the sand and gravel company.

Sand and gravel companies mainly produce home decoration and building materials.

Before Zhao Ming took over my company.

When I was managing the company, I didn't have much contact with these things.

At that time, I was focused on housing development and management.

My thinking isn't complicated.

The main thing is to specialize in a certain field.

However, after Gu Yao sent me to the reformatory for rehabilitation.

Zhao Ming couldn't wait to take over my company.

He started his expansionist strategy in a big way.

Continuously expand into new businesses.

Zhao Ming's behavior is also easy to understand.

He's a newcomer, only in his first year, so he'll seize every opportunity.

Zhao Ming intends to prove his position in the company through his achievements.

As it turns out, Zhao Ming was better off without Gu Yao.

He's nothing!

I heard that Zhao Ming has accumulated a huge debt because of his foray into the home decoration and building materials industry.

In the end, it was only through Gu Yao's help that he was able to barely gain a foothold.

Subsequently, Zhao Ming continued to live off Gu Yao's money.

This is how they gradually secured contracts with several sand and gravel companies in Jiangcheng.

However, based on these things alone, Zhao Ming can still boast about how amazing he is.

They can even make eye-catching remarks in public with an extremely thick skin.

It's said that he got to where he is today entirely through his own hard work!

In the end, he came to believe it himself during his speech.

He was even moved to tears.

"call!"

I stood at the entrance of the largest sand and gravel company in Jiangcheng.

Then he took a deep breath and straightened his suit collar.

This is the new suit that Lin Xia bought for me.

I forced a smile and walked into the sand and gravel company.

A pretty receptionist was at the door when I came in.

She didn't even stand up.

"Who are you looking for?"

The other person's tone was very cold, even a little impatient.

I politely replied, "I'm looking for General Manager Liu."

Before coming, I had already carefully studied the information Lin Xia gave me.

The owner of this sand and gravel company is named Liu Chaoyang.

He is a 49-year-old middle-aged man who enjoys golf and cigars, has been married three times, and is currently single. He has two children, one in high school and one in college.

I originally planned to start by addressing the other person's preferences.

But it's a pity.

I don't play golf, and I don't smoke cigars.

Moreover, I didn't have anything in common with the other person.

He has extensive experience in marriage and divorce, while I haven't even touched Gu Yao's hand once...

The receptionist gave me a casual glance.

Perhaps it was because she exposed my pathetic nature.

She asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

"Then you can go."

The other party showed no intention of listening to my explanation.

She directly issued an expulsion order to me, forcing me to leave.

Having failed in my mission, I certainly don't want to leave in disgrace.

"Please give me a chance to explain. I'm here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Liu..."

When I finished saying the word "cooperation".

Suddenly, the other person looked up at me with disdain.

She said bluntly, "Although you're wearing an expensive suit, it can't hide the smell of a beggar on you. Seeing you reminds me of the rotting smell of a garbage dump! How dare someone like you try to discuss cooperation with President Liu? What right do you have to meet President Liu?"

The receptionist used just one sentence to completely dissect my past.

Her eyes were incredibly sharp; she saw right through me and knew I was trash.

The receptionist said again, "If you don't leave, I'll call security!"

In the end, I clenched my fists and left this place feeling utterly defeated and dejected.

But I didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he squatted at the company's entrance.

Because I thought I might be able to wait until President Liu came out.

After all, I've already seen his picture and know what he looks like.

The summer sun was blazing, and I felt like I was melting under its heat.

Wearing a full-on suit, my head was spinning, and I was so hot from the sun I felt like I was going to faint.

Just at this time.

I saw a black Mercedes stop in front of me.

A young man got off the car.

The man didn't see me and walked straight into the company.

And I recognized him.

This person was none other than Zhao Ming!

I immediately stood up from where I was squatting by the flower bed.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Zhao Ming walk to the front desk.

The receptionist saw Zhao Ming arrive.

A bright smile immediately spread across her face, and she bowed respectfully to Zhao Ming at a ninety-degree angle.

Immediately afterwards, the receptionist, wearing high heels, ran up to Zhao Ming with small, quick steps.

She personally led Zhao Ming into the elevator.

Saw this scene.

I felt a little uneasy.

This receptionist is very pretty, but her heart is full of discrimination.

When she met me, I was very humble.

So she didn't even look at me, her tone full of contempt.

But Zhao Ming was arrogant and didn't give her a friendly look.

But she took the initiative to fawn over him, trying to please him.

I noticed that no one was at the front desk.

So I tried to walk inside.

But I had just reached the door when...

The receptionist was already back.

She saw that I was trying to sneak in while she was away.

This made her very angry, and she pointed her finger at me and started cursing.

"Stop right there! Who gave you permission to come in! If you keep doing this, I'm calling the police to arrest you!"

"Get out of here right now!"

Under the reprimand of the pretty receptionist, I had no choice but to slink away.

Then he squatted down by the flower bed again.

I had originally wanted to avoid the sun by staying in the shadows of their company.

But the security guards were also very capable.

He was holding a black rubber stick and stretching it every now and then.

That sounded like a threat to me.

If I dared to take a step closer, he would mercilessly slap me with this thing.

In the end, I was exposed to the sun for two hours.

My skin is peeling from sunburn, I feel dizzy and have a terrible headache.

And I don't even have any water to drink.

I'm holding on entirely by willpower.

And finally, the person I had been waiting for appeared.

Liu Chaoyang appeared.

He walked to the company entrance, and the person next to him was Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming and Liu Chaoyang were chatting and laughing.

The sun is very strong outside.

Zhao Ming even thoughtfully prepared a large umbrella, which he personally held for Liu Chaoyang.

The two walked out of the company gate together.

And just then.

I used all my strength to run towards Liu Chaoyang.

Just before Liu Chaoyang was about to get on the bus, I grabbed his arm.

Liu Chaoyang was startled.

Who are you? What do you want to do to me?

I was gasping for breath, trying to catch my breath quickly.

Zhao Ming recognized me at a glance.

He exclaimed in shock, "Lu Yi! How did you come out of here?"

"You've got some nerve! This is President Liu, what do you mean by grabbing her wrist!"

"Do you want to harm President Liu?"
