Returning to the shabby old apartment that Zhuang Dahai bought when he was young, Zhuang Li couldn’t help but sigh with satisfaction. The familiar smell of home instantly relieved his fatigue.
“Dad will heat up the food for you, just eat a few bites.” Zhuang Dahai walked into the kitchen and started busying himself.
Chang Hui walked out of the bedroom with a mean face and cursed in a sharp voice: “How dare you come back? Why didn’t you die outside? If you had died, we won’t have to help you pay off your debt. That’s 180 million, you can’t pay it back in your lifetime! How far do you want to drag your father down! You can’t bear to see him well, right? Can’t you just die and put an end to it all and let your father live a peaceful old age? Get out of here right now…”
Zhuang Dahai walked out of the kitchen holding a kitchen knife with red eyes, and it seemed that he wanted to fight to the death with Chang Hui.
Zhuang Li quickly stood up and stopped his emotional father.
Unexpectedly, Chang Dongming also came in with a key, looking exhausted, but he didn’t even have time to put down his briefcase. He rushed into the living room, hugged his mother, and scolded her: “Mom, please stop talking! It’s just a temporary failure. We can get through it as a family if we persevere.”
“What are you waiting for? Do you know that old man Zhuang Dahai is planning to sell all our houses to pay off Zhuang Li’s debts?” Chang Hui asked angrily.
“Just sell it. It’s Dad’s property anyway. It has nothing to do with us. Zhuang Li, don’t be discouraged. I believe you can make it through it. With your ability, there is nothing in the world that you can’t overcome. Mom, don’t get excited. Let’s go in and talk. Let’s go in and talk.”
While pushing his mother into the bedroom, Chang Dongming turned around and smiled gently at Zhuang Li.
Zhuang Dahai then snorted coldly, “Dongming is a good boy, and it’s not in vain that I raised him. Son, don’t mind what Aunt Chang said. Dad can help you pay off your debts by selling the house, really.”
“I understand, Dad. I’m hungry and want to eat fried rice with egg.” Zhuang Li gently stroked his old father’s stiff back, trying to make him relax.
“Okay, okay, it’s good that you know you’re hungry. You haven’t eaten for three days. Dad will make it for you right away.” Zhuang Dahai rushed into the kitchen.
Zhuang Li then sat back on the sofa calmly and asked in his mind: “Chang Dongming’s attitude is very abnormal. He said that with my ability, there is no obstacle in the world that I can’t overcome. But the original owner of this world is the same as the previous world, who only knows how to live a life of dependence and has no ability at all. Chang Dongming firmly believes that I can make it through. Does he have memories of the previous world?”
“Master, I can’t detect any abnormality in Chang Dongming.” 7480 said embarrassedly.
“Forget it. It doesn’t matter whether he has the memory or not. It won’t change anything for me.” Zhuang Li patted the armrest of the sofa lightly and smiled with interest.
After thinking for a moment, he took out his mobile phone, typed a business card, called Chang Dongming out of the bedroom, and asked him for help.
Chang Dongming came out immediately and closed the door tightly to prevent his mother from rushing out and grabbing his adopted brother.
“What’s the matter?” He smiled very gently and heartily, as if he didn’t care at all that his brother’s business failure had made the already poor family even worse off.
“You work at Haiming Group? Then can you meet Xuan Ming?” Zhuang Li asked while connecting his phone to the printer.
In order to facilitate his work, Chang Dongming equipped his home with a complete set of office equipment.
“Yes, I’m one of his assistants. What can I do for you?” Chang Dongming asked patiently.
For some reason, he had an intuition that this younger brother would be very successful in the future. He once dreamed that Zhuang Li was wearing an expensive suit and walking in a long corridor, with brilliant lights above his head and staff members on both sides bowing and respectfully calling him “Mr. Zhuang”. He himself was mixed in with these staff members, with a humble attitude and regretful mood.
In the dream, Zhuang Li looked around at these people nonchalantly, like a beast roaming in his territory. That was a powerful aura that the real Zhuang Li could never possess.
If he had such a dream only occasionally, Chang Dongming would just smile disapprovingly.
But this dream lasted for several years, and the regret in the dream could not dissipate for a long time after waking up. So Chang Dongming realized that this must be some kind of hint from fate, so he strongly supported Zhuang Li to start his own business and even lent him one million.
But he never expected that Zhuang Li would go bankrupt! Was the dream false?
Hearing that Zhuang Li was so anxious that he wanted to jump off the building, Chang Dongming couldn’t help but doubt his judgment. However, looking at Zhuang Li in front of him with his crimson lips curled and his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, he shuddered again.
Wasn’t this the Zhuang Li in his dream? Who could imitate this kind of arrogant temperament that made him want to beat him up as soon as he saw him!
“If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can.” Chang Dongming bent down subconsciously and spoke more gently.
“I want to meet with your President Xuan. Can you give this business card to him?” Zhuang Li handed over the printed business card.
Chang Dongming stretched out his hands to take it, and when he saw the contents of the business card clearly, he was completely stunned.
The business card only had Zhuang Li’s name written on it, without the company name, position or phone number, but there was a photo attached. The person in the photo was not Zhuang Li, but a red fox with smiling eyes. What was even more ridiculous was that the fox had a full head of curly hair, which looked out of place and ridiculous.
What the hell was this? Was Zhuang Li really playing a trick on me? Chang Dongming thought in a daze.
