After Breaking the Persona, I Reach the Peak of My Life

Chapter 1002 - 999: Short on Cash

When he heard the policeman’s words, Meng Chi suddenly remembered what happened last night. Now, hearing Xia Nian’s meaningful words, he couldn’t help but frown slightly. Although he didn’t show it, he was still a bit worried.In contrast, Bi Xia remained calm, glancing lightly at Xia Nian, "Yeah, it’s better to be young and reckless than being overly cautious and thinking too simply."

Xia Nian: ...

Xia Nian decided it was better to talk less in front of Bi Xia in the future, otherwise, he would always get a taste of his own medicine, and it was just too unbearable!

With a light sigh, he suddenly heard Bi Xia call his name, then looked at him very seriously and said, "To be honest, I really think this name is too... feminine."

Too feminine...

Feminine...

Damn it!!! I’m a 24K pure man! I’ve even got a scar on my face! If you don’t believe me, don’t go! I’ll rip off the mask on my face and show you!!!

But watching Bi Xia’s retreating figure, Xia Nian was about to cry without tears. Dad, you owe me compensation for defamation! A tough guy being called feminine, it’s just... torture!

[Wow, Your Majesty, you’re too sharp-tongued!] 007 looked at Xia Nian sympathetically, [The guy is almost in tears because of what you said.]

With a slight curve of her red lips and a shrug, "It’s not my fault the stubborn old man gave him such a girlish name. When I first heard it, I really thought it was a woman’s name."

007: ... Clearly, he offended you!

Knowing Bi Xia’s temperament too well, 007 sighed helplessly and could only silently mourn for Xia Nian. What else could you do? You’re Xia Jingshen’s godson, and you’re helping him hide his information too?

Speaking of which, 007 suddenly straightened up. He always felt that the name Xia Jingshen seemed familiar, but where did the familiarity come from exactly... He clearly hadn’t met this person before...

Watching Du Zizun and his team load all the goods onto the truck, Bi Xia approached Du Zizun, "Everything ready?"

"Yes, yes," Du Zizun nodded, "Everything is accounted for and already loaded on the truck."

"Good," Bi Xia turned to Xia Nian, who was lost in thought nearby. "Vice President Xia, we have confirmed there are no issues on our side. Is everything okay on your end?"

Xia Nian paused, quickly responding, "No, everything is OK."

"Good, we appreciate you coming in person, it’s been hard on you."

Surprised by Bi Xia’s sudden kindness, Xia Nian felt flattered, "No problem, no problem, it’s our first collaboration, it’s to be expected."

Seemingly pleased with Xia Nian’s response, Bi Xia smiled, "How is it? My team’s completion rate is high, right? And isn’t the efficiency great too?"

"Yes, I have to admit it."

Raising his hand to pat Xia Nian on the shoulder, "Since that’s the case, I’ll give you my account number. Transfer the payment to me by tomorrow; you know it’s not easy for the guys to go back and forth, and mainly my expenses are quite high, right?"

"Of course, we never delay wages." Xia Nian nodded seriously.

With a slight turn in his bright eyes, Bi Xia said casually, "We’re planning to get together tonight, Vice President Xia, you should come too. It’s just right for our first collaboration communication, as after all, we will be working together more in the future."

Surprised by Bi Xia’s invitation, Xia Nian was delighted to hear about more future cooperation, "Are you agreeing to future collaborations?"

Bi Xia laughed, "Of course, I’d be a fool not to make money. But whether it’s me personally going, that’s another matter."

Still unaware of the trap, Xia Nian smiled foolishly and nodded, "Alright, alright, we’ll have dinner together tonight. I’ll host you as my guests."

"This is too embarrassing," Bi Xia lowered his head shyly, "How about this, you take care of the dinner, and after we have eaten, we’ll go relax a bit. I’ll treat everyone to karaoke, though I’m not familiar with the area, so Vice President Xia, you’ll have to find a place."

"No need, no need," Xia Nian waved his hand, "It’s just karaoke, that’s easy. I’ll arrange it, don’t worry about it. Since the task is completed, let’s have fun, you’re still young and it’s not easy. Remember, your health is the most important, got it?"

Bi Xia laughed, "Don’t worry, I’m very robust."

Having said that, he pointed to Du Han and the others behind him, "I’ll go take care of some things first."

Following Bi Xia, Meng Chi looked at Xia Nian waving his hand at them and couldn’t help but sigh. This Vice President Xia is too naïve. Boss’s typical move is just to pass off tonight’s expenses onto him, saying it’s for communication and cooperation, who would believe that? Certainly not him ┓(ˇ?ˇ)┏

Regarding this, Bi Xia said there’s no choice; during the start-up phase, money is tight.
