Chapter 167 High-paying Job
Liu Dazhi had been prepared to pester Xu Youyou to death, even resorting to extreme measures if necessary. Now that Xu Youyou had given in, he naturally pressed the issue further: "This is our Dragon King's house. How dare you ask the Dragon King for money?"
Xu Youyou frowned slightly and said with contempt, "Your Lord Dragon King is actually a poor man? I thought someone like him wouldn't be short of money. It seems I overestimated him."
Liu Dazhi had only been with the Red Dragon King for a year and a half, so he naturally understood his temperament. He immediately said, "Stop talking nonsense! Our Red Dragon King is not short of money!"
Xu Youyou sneered, "He's not short of money, so you're acting on his behalf? You didn't even ask, so how do you know he's unwilling to spend money to buy back the house?"
Liu Dazhi was skeptical when he heard this. The Red Dragon King had given him the order to take the house back, but he did not say that he could not buy it back.
When he tremblingly conveyed these words to the Red Dragon King, Liu Dazhi expected to see the Red Dragon King fly into a rage, but unexpectedly, the Red Dragon King only had a grim expression for a moment and asked, "Did that girl really say that?"
Liu Dazhi nodded vigorously and said, "That girl is very arrogant. She is only willing to sell the house and not transfer the ownership directly. It's really too much."
The Red Dragon King frowned slightly and asked, "You haven't found out where that girl came from yet?"
Liu Dazhi said helplessly, "Uncle, I've been following her these days and I've noticed that she and the Gu family are not on good terms. I've made some careful inquiries and learned some shocking news: this girl is the eldest daughter of the Gu family who's been living away from home, and she and the youngest daughter are twins."
When the Red Dragon King heard the words "Gu family," he immediately became unhappy again: "The Gu family can't even manage their own people?"
Liu Dazhi spoke objectively, saying, "At the last Lu family banquet, this girl embarrassed the Gu family. She refused to admit she was a child of the Gu family and refused to acknowledge her relationship with them. It's said that the wealthy circle has seen enough of the Gu family's jokes."
The Red Dragon King's expression eased slightly, but there was a hint of sarcasm in the corners of his eyes: "The Gu family has truly fallen on hard times. They can't even subdue a little girl."
When Liu Dazhi heard the word "surrender", he felt it was very strange and did not think it was used to describe his own daughter.
"Uncle, there is one more thing. This little girl has a close relationship with Lu Jingyao. It is said that they have traveled abroad together and have a very close relationship." Liu Dazhi said.
When the Red Dragon King heard the three words "Lu Jingyao", his brows furrowed again.
Seeing his expression, Liu Dazhi suddenly remembered the rumors he had heard before. It was said that the Red Dragon King once wanted to become Lu Jingyao's guest of honor, but was politely rejected by this young business upstart. The Red Dragon King had always held a grudge against him.
"You ungrateful thing." The Red Dragon King scolded softly.
Liu Dazhi didn't know who he was scolding, but he lowered his head heavily and didn't dare to refute a word.
"Go tell the Gu family that they want to buy back the fake bottles I have. They are the ones who caused this house trouble, and they must clean it up."
After listening to the words of the Red Dragon King, Liu Dazhi's face was suddenly full of embarrassment, but he also knew that once he was given the order, he had to do it. If he failed to do it, it would mean that he was incompetent.
"You have failed to perform your duties twice in a row. If you are not punished, it will be difficult to convince the people." The Red Dragon King suddenly said.
Liu Dazhi's neck tightened, and he knelt down and said, "Uncle, I am willing to pay the fine..."
The Red Dragon King chuckled and said, "Why are you kneeling? Hurry up and get up. I've told you so many times that we are all family."
Although Liu Dazhi stood up, he didn't dare to relax at all.
The Red Dragon King smiled and said, "Your brother seems to be the child of your stepmother?"
Liu Dazi's heart tightened and he nodded slowly.
The Red Dragon King said, "Salaries are high in Myanmar now, so sending him there to work would bring honor to our family."
Liu Dazhi's face was pale. Myanmar was famous for telecom fraud, and it would be difficult to come back intact if he went there. He and his half-brother had an average relationship, but that didn't mean he hoped his brother would die.
Since the Red Dragon King has told him everything, it means that the task is done and now it is just a matter of following his instructions.
The other party obviously didn't want to listen to his pleading, so he waved his hand and let him leave.
After Liu Dazhi left the cold Buddhist temple where the Red Dragon King usually stayed, he hurriedly took out his cell phone to call home.
The stepmother's smug voice came over the phone: "Big Mole, you have a good job earning a million dollars a year, but no matter how much you persuaded, you refused to take your brother to eat meat. Now he doesn't need you anymore. He's already on a plane going abroad and his annual salary is two million, which is even higher than yours!"
Liu Dazhi's face turned pale, and a thin layer of cold sweat had already broken out on his back without him noticing. He knew that this was the Red Dragon King's warning to him. This time it was his half-brother, with whom he was not close, but next time it might be his sister or his children...
The Gu family was so embarrassed because of Xu Youyou, and they never expected that the Red Dragon King's troubles would actually fall on them.
"How can Xu Youyou be so bold? She even dares to provoke the Red Dragon King?" Mrs. Gu screamed in anxiety.
She now realized that her biological daughter was not a pushover. Anyone who tried to take advantage of Xu Youyou would definitely be hurt.
Gu Jianming said with a gloomy face, "Why would she be so daring? Hasn't she always been so bold?"
Gu Jianming did not dare to take his own daughter lightly when she showed her edge several times. However, the mission assigned by the Red Dragon King had to deal with Xu Youyou, and he felt embarrassed.
"Honey, should we contact her proactively? We just had a big setback with her, and this time we must ask her to give us concessions! Otherwise, should we just ask her to transfer the house to us? She's not short of money anyway." Mrs. Gu asked deliberately.
Gu Jianming looked at his wife in surprise, thinking that all the years of pampering had indeed produced a fool. Xu Youyou had already fallen out with them and had even embarrassed them several times. Gu Jianming did not expect to get back the villa worth over 100 million yuan just by talking.
He didn't even dare let his wife handle this matter.
"I'll find someone else to talk to Xu Youyou about buying the house." Gu Jianming didn't plan to show up himself, for fear that Xu Youyou would raise the price as soon as she saw him.
Mrs. Gu added, "The Red Dragon King is insatiable, so there's no need for us to keep offering him our due."
Gu Jianming shook his head: "How can I just end the years of worship?"
Gu Jianming knew very well that he had not found a new backer yet, so he must not offend the old backer.
"Husband, do you really not need my help? Should I go and give that girl a good scolding?" Mrs. Gu asked again.
Gu Jianming waved his hand: "I have other plans."
Mrs. Gu pretended to be regretful, but as soon as she left Gu Jianming's sight, she immediately smiled. She was also afraid that her husband would throw this troublesome matter to her. Now that the matter has been turned down, she can still be the pampered Mrs. Gu.
She turned around and called another wealthy lady, asking heartlessly, "Mrs. Wang, is it convenient for you to play cards this afternoon?"
