This is getting interesting!
Li Yang thought to himself, he hadn't resolved the issues with the Tang and Situ families yet, and now he had indirectly offended the Situ family again. If Situ Jue found out about this, he would definitely send more people for revenge.
Situ Jue's strength was not to be underestimated, it seemed he had to take him seriously this time!
"Mr. Li, Situ Jue is a despicable and insidious person, you must be extremely careful. If you need my help, Brother Huang, just ask. I will provide you with all favorable conditions," Huang Bai said on the phone.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Huang. By the way, now that you mention it, I do have something I'd like your help with."
Li Yang's eyes suddenly darted, and he said to Huang Bai, "Brother Huang, I have another piece of leverage against Gui Bunian. Can you send someone to deliver this leverage to his wife?"
"Oh? What is it?" Huang Bai asked curiously.
"You'll know when you see it. I'll bring it to you later."
Li Yang spoke mysteriously, chatted with him for a while, and then hung up.
He turned to Shui Xiang and said, "Sister Shui, I'll go see Brother Huang in a bit. I'll leave the matters at the gambling stone market to you. Call me if anything comes up."
"Okay, you bad boy, you always have the most ideas."
Shui Xiang was shy and completely inseparable from Li Yang now.
After Li Yang left the gambling stone market, he first went to Huang Bai's place to deliver the compromising evidence of Gui Bunian and his secretary. Upon seeing the video, Huang Bai shivered and forced a smile, "Very good, Mr. Li. I didn't expect you to have filmed such scandalous affairs of Gui Bunian."
"Isn't this just in case? If Gui Bunian wants to get out, his family will definitely have to bail him out. If his wife knows he's messing around outside, do you think she'll let him out easily?" Li Yang said cleverly.
"Mr. Li is smart, I know what to do. I'll take care of this. Even if we can't prevent Gui Bunian from eventually getting out, we can delay him for a while and completely turn him against his family. Marital disputes are enough to trouble him."
Huang Bai took the leverage and gave Li Yang a thumbs-up.
After chatting with him, Li Yang saw that it was getting late and went to have dinner with him.
In the afternoon, Li Yang returned to his antique shop.
Ear Dong saw Li Yang and walked over with a smile to greet him, "Boss, I've arranged all the raw stones from last night according to your request. With this batch of raw stones arriving, business in our shop was booming this morning."
"Is that so? It seems our shop will be able to expand its business soon. Ear Dong, you'll have more to manage then, and I'll definitely give you a raise," Li Yang said, patting Ear Dong's shoulder encouragingly.
"Great, thank you, boss!"
Ear Dong's face was full of joy, and then he continued, "By the way, boss, Boss Lou came by this morning and said he wanted to see something with you, but you weren't here, so he left."
"Boss Lou?"
Li Yang was very curious. He took out his phone and checked; he hadn't called him either.
Ear Dong continued, "I said this morning that I wanted to contact you. Boss Lou said it wasn't necessary, and if you weren't here, he'd find you another day. That item isn't that important."
"Boss Lou came specifically to see me, it shouldn't be a small matter. You go ahead and get busy, I'll contact him myself."
Li Yang nodded, went directly to his office, and called Lou Dong, saying with a smile, "Boss Lou, how have you been recently?"
"Haha, it's Mr. Li. I've been doing well recently, but not as well as Mr. Li. Mr. Li's business is booming, and you're so busy every day that I feel embarrassed to ask Mr. Li out," Lou Dong said with a laugh on the other end.
"What are you saying, Boss Lou? With our relationship, anything concerning Boss Lou is my concern. I heard from the staff at the shop that Boss Lou came to see me this morning. Is there anything important?" Li Yang asked after some pleasantries.
"Ah, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask Mr. Li to lend me his eyes. I acquired something very strange today and couldn't figure out its origin after looking at it for a long time. Do you have time today, Mr. Li? I can bring the item over to you," Lou Dong asked casually.
"I'm in the shop, Boss Lou can come over for tea anytime," Li Yang said with a smile.
"Haha, that's great. I'll be right over. Mr. Li, you can prepare the tea in advance and wait for me."
Lou Dong's face lit up with joy upon hearing this. He immediately hung up the phone and rushed towards Li Yang with his treasure.
Li Yang put away his phone and was about to make tea when the office door was suddenly knocked. He said, "Come in," and saw Zhou Yi walk in with a smile.
Li Yang saw that she had changed her clothes. With her already slender figure, she looked even more alluring today in a short skirt and black stockings.
Her delicate face, already ethereal, was like exquisitely carved jade, and her perfect figure was displayed before his eyes. Her straight black hair made her look incredibly pure!
Li Yang was momentarily moved!
"Zhou Yi, why are you here looking for me? Didn't I arrange for you to work with Boss Huang?" Li Yang asked curiously, regaining his senses.
"I didn't go to Boss Huang's today. I came directly to your shop to apply for a job. I want to ask for your help."
Zhou Yi blinked her beautiful eyes, walked up to Li Yang, and naturally placed her hand on his shoulder, saying, "I don't want to leave you. Can you let me work in your antique shop?"
"You don't understand antiques, and it's a waste of your talent to be here. The jobs I arranged for you are all for your own good," Li Yang earnestly advised.
"I don't care, I just want to be with you. As long as you're willing to keep me, salary doesn't matter. I've already told Boss Huang that I won't be going to work. If you don't want me, I'll be jobless," Zhou Yi pouted, feigning pitifulness.
Li Yang turned his head and saw her wronged little expression, and his heart softened.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yang nodded and said, "Alright, I can keep you. But you don't understand antiques, so you can only be a greeter in my shop, or you can consider going to the gambling stone market to be a gambling stone sales associate. That doesn't require much professional knowledge."
"If you train me diligently, I can start working in a few days."
"I'll do whatever you say!"
Zhou Yi's face broke into a happy smile when Li Yang agreed to her request. Her chest rose and fell, and when she bent over, she revealed her fair cleavage.
She also deliberately leaned closer to Li Yang and, in her excitement, quickly kissed him on the cheek, saying shyly, "Li Yang, it would be great if I could be your girlfriend."
"Although you rejected me last night, I believe I can win your affection through my own efforts."
"Zhou Yi, you..."
As Li Yang was about to speak, Zhou Yi directly covered his mouth and said with a smile, "You don't need to rush to give me an answer, I'm not in a hurry at all."
"And I have one more thing I need your help with. You must help me, or I will die."
