Zhuang Xi stood up and sat down again. The receptionist was annoyed by his behavior, but his surname was Zhuang and he claimed to be the boss ‘cousin, so the receptionist did not dare to offend him. She could only keep reminding him to sit there and wait.
“Hello, can you call Zhuang Liu again? I really have something to talk to him about,” Zhuang Xi asked.
The receptionist had a warm, professional fake smile on her face. “Hello, sir. We’ve already informed CEO Zhuang, but he has a very important meeting today, so we’ll have to trouble you to wait a little longer.”
“When will he finish his meeting?” Zhuang Xi asked again.
The receptionist continued to smile. “Sir, I’m really sorry. I don’t knowwhen CEO Zhuang will finish his meeting. Whether you’re in a hurry or not, I’ll have to trouble you to wait here patiently.”
Zhuang Xi had no choice but to sit down and continue waiting for Zhuang Liu. Zhuang Liu did not come to the first floor to see him. Instead, he had someone bring him to the room upstairs.
Zhuang Xi heaved a sigh of relief. He was already prepared for Zhuang Liu to chase him out, but looking at Zhuang Liu’s current attitude, he probably did not want to chase him out yet.
The assistant pushed the door open. Zhuang Liu was sitting inside. His posture was very relaxed as if he was meeting someone he knew for the first time.
“Xiao Liu, long time no see.” Zhuang Xi showed a very friendly smile. “How have you been recently? I heard that your legs have recovered and you’re even engaged. That’s great!”
Zhuang Liu sneered. “It seems like you have been asking about me a lot when you were overseas. However, why did you only decide to come back now?”
He wanted to test Zhuang Xi to see if she was telling the truth.
When Zhuang Xi heard Zhuang Liu say this, he was still defeated. Although he had expected Zhuang Liu to say something before he came back, his guess was different from reality. Zhuang Xi could not accept it for a moment when he heard her beloved brother say such heartless words.
“Xiao Liu, I didn’t come back to snatch the family business from you. These things are what you deserve. I don’t want them at all.” Zhuang Xi said sincerely, “Besides, I don’t have anything in the country. I don’t have any relatives or friends, and my business ability is not as good as yours. How can I snatch something that belongs to you?”
“What?” Zhuang Liu was stunned for a moment before he asked, “Then, are you only here to visit me?”
Other than his parents, there was almost no one else in the Zhuang family. In such a large family, Zhuang Liu could not even find a brother or sister who treated him sincerely.
Zhuang Xi revealed a warm smile. “Of course!”
He took out a box from his pocket. Inside was a pair of male and female watches. “This is a gift I bought for you and your fiancee. It might be a little cheap for you, but it’s also a token of my appreciation. I don’t mind if you throw it away or keep it.”
Zhuang Liu did not let his guard down, but he took the watch. “Thank you.”
“Xiao Liu, I’m deeply sorry for what my parents did. If you want to beat me up to vent your anger, I won’t fight back,” said Zhuang Xi.
Zhuang Liu saw the sincerity in Zhuang Xi’s eyes. If his second cousin’s brother’s performance in front of him was fake, then Zhuang Xi’s acting ability was too strong.
“I don’t have time to hit you, and I won’t do anything to you. Where are you staying now?” Zhuang Liu asked.
Zhuang Xi felt a little awkward. “I’m staying in a hotel now.”
Zhuang Liu should not have asked such nonsense. Zhuang Xi had no friends or property in the country. If he did not stay in a hotel, where could he stay?
“Then what about working abroad?” Zhuang Liu asked again.
Zhuang Xi replied, “Actually, I just graduated this year. You also know that my learning ability is not strong. I can’t work overseas. I still want to come home and find a job here.”
Zhuang Liu almost understood what Zhuang Xi meant. “Do you want to return to the Zhuang Corporation to work?”
“I can go anywhere, but I want to go back to work at the Zhuang Corporation. I want to solve the trouble my parents caused.”
“Heh. Do you think you can do that?” Zhuang Liu asked.
“I would like to try.” Zhuang Xi stammered.
Zhuang Liu was not afraid of him trying at all. If he lost to Zhuang Xi, then he would no longer have the face to be the head of the Zhuang family.
“I’ll give you this chance. Do you dare grab the opportunity?” Zhuang Liu asked.
