CHAPTER 631: CHAPTER 631: FISTS BIGGER THAN SANDBAGS

As soon as Xin Kalan returned to Tianhai, Mei Ouchi immediately relayed the news to Qu Kunhe, who was in Shanghai.

Qu Kunhe, to avoid another wasted trip, called Xin Kalan before heading to Tianhai.

After confirming that the latter didn’t have any business trips planned, he took the contract and flew back to Tianhai.

Upon meeting Xin Kalan, Qu Kunhe immediately pushed the contract over.

"Director Xin, after my efforts, the top management has agreed to your terms. Here’s the contract, please take a look."

Xin Kalan pushed the contract back, smiling as she responded.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Director Qu, but I’m really sorry, I’ve already renewed with Yanxi Station. Didn’t Mei Tai tell you?"

"He didn’t!"

Qu Kunhe frowned, his face looking very displeased.

"And since you’ve already renewed, why didn’t you mention it when I called?"

"You only asked if I had any trips planned, you didn’t say it was to sign a contract with me. Also, you and Mei Tai are so close, how could he not inform you of my renewal?"

Qu Kunhe had spent a lot of time, energy, and even connections trying to bring Xin Kalan to Modu TV.

To end up with this kind of result.

He stopped speaking, snorted coldly, grabbed the contract from the table, and stormed out.

On his way to Tianhai Airport, Qu Kunhe even called and berated Mei Ouchi furiously.

He ended up shouting, "Since the deal didn’t go through, you’d better return all the money, or else I’m not done with you!"

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Mei Ouchi was dumbfounded.

It took him a long time to realize that he’d been played by Xin Kalan!

Fuming with anger, he smashed a teacup onto the floor, his old face twisted in rage.

If Xin Kalan had successfully signed with Modu TV, he would have gained a million in commission.

Qu Kunhe had even paid twenty thousand as an advance to make it happen.

Mei Ouchi thought the offer from Modu TV was so good that anyone in their right mind would jump at it, so he spent the twenty thousand.

Now, the deal fell through, and Qu Kunhe was asking for the money back.

This was equivalent to Mei Ouchi having spent twenty thousand in advance.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. After work, he went to a restaurant to drink alone.

Even as night fell, his mood hadn’t improved.

After paying the bill and leaving the restaurant, Mei Ouchi immediately took a taxi to Xin Kalan’s home.

At that moment, Xin Kalan was sitting on the sofa working on a proposal when the pounding on the door startled her.

"Open up! Xin, you damn well open the door!"

Hearing Mei Ouchi’s voice, Xin Kalan was even more scared and didn’t dare to open the door.

But the knocking continued, making her more anxious and distressed.

Without much hesitation, she immediately called the property management of her community.

After explaining the situation, two security guards quickly arrived and forcibly dragged Mei Ouchi away.

From then on, Mei Ouchi would come knocking at Xin Kalan’s door every day after work.

If she didn’t open, he’d start incessantly calling.

Even though security always forcibly removed him, Xin Kalan was still driven crazy by it.

After Chen Bin learned of this, he decided to teach Mei Ouchi a lesson.

That night, the knocking began again.

After confirming through the peephole that it was indeed Mei Ouchi, Xin Kalan immediately opened the door.

She greeted him enthusiastically, "Director Mei, what a surprise to see you here. What an unexpected guest."

Stepping inside, Mei Ouchi said coldly, "Director Xin, it’s been really difficult just to meet you in your own home."

"Sorry, I’ve been staying at a friend’s place the past few days and haven’t been home. What can I do for you?"

Slamming the door shut, Mei Ouchi, like a crazed old cat, stared fiercely at Xin Kalan.

"You can choose not to go to Modu TV, but why did you play me?"

"Director Mei, could there be some misunderstanding? How could I dare play you?"

But Mei Ouchi grabbed Xin Kalan’s arm and said fiercely.

"If you don’t give me a satisfactory answer today, I’ll kill you!"

He then pushed Xin Kalan onto the sofa.

Just as he was about to press down on her, a large hand grabbed his collar from behind.

Like a chick, he was lifted and thrown to the ground.

In pain, gritting his teeth, Mei Ouchi turned to see a burly man standing there.

His fists were even bigger than a sandbag.

"Who... who are you?"

Cheng Zhuang didn’t answer, instead asking in a deep voice.

"You’re the deputy director who’s been harassing my girlfriend, aren’t you?"

Seeing Cheng Zhuang’s aggressive stance, Mei Ouchi deflated instantly.

He hurriedly explained, "You misunderstood, I was just..."

Before he could finish, Cheng Zhuang slapped him.

Mei Ouchi felt dizzy, and his face burned painfully.

Next, Cheng Zhuang swung his fist and gave him a ruthless beating.

Standing by the side, Xin Kalan watched with great satisfaction.

She even silently cheered for Cheng Zhuang.

Only after Mei Ouchi was beaten black and blue, with several teeth knocked out, did Cheng Zhuang coldly say.

"From today onward, if you dare harass my girlfriend again, I’ll sit outside your home and kill your whole family!"

Seeing Cheng Zhuang’s fierce expression, Mei Ouchi nodded repeatedly in fear.

Suppressing the pain, he quickly got up from the ground.

Then he limped away.

From that day on, whenever Mei Ouchi saw Xin Kalan, he would avoid her like a mouse seeing a cat.

He didn’t even dare say hello when they occasionally crossed paths.

...

Lan Hui was both shocked and delighted when she received the photos from Tao Qian.

When she left Tianhai, she had her trusted aide convert all those gold bars into cash and wire it to her account in Maple Country.

However, they claimed that when they were about to take the money, they were ambushed and robbed after waking up.

Now it seemed that aide clearly wanted to pocket the gold, but the target was too big, so he hadn’t managed to transfer it.

For safety, Lan Hui still asked Tao Qian to record a video of the gold, insisting that he appear in it.

Upon learning of this, Chen Bin contacted Cheng Zhuang again to handle it.

Cheng Zhuang and Tao Qian filmed five videos together and sent them all to Chen Bin.

After reviewing them, Chen Bin selected one for Tao Qian to send to Lan Hui.

From then on, Lan Hui was convinced of the existence of the gold.

She called Tao Qian again, "We can split the money fifty-fifty. Of course, if you want to continue being with me, transfer all the money, and we’ll live well in Maple Country."

"Sure, there’s nothing really keeping me here in the country. I love you and want to be with you."

Hearing Tao Qian’s sincere tone, Lan Hui felt her heart melting.

She quickly replied, "Okay, as long as you still want to be with me, I’ll make a will. When I’m gone, everything I have will go to you, and you can use the money to start a family..."

"Sister Hui, don’t say that. I’ll love only you in this life. If you’re not around one day, what’s the point of living?"

Lan Hui never expected that even in her overseas exile, Tao Qian would care for her so.

It was true that adversity reveals true love.

If it weren’t for her age, she would have wanted to have a child with Tao Qian.

However, just as Lan Hui was dreaming of a beautiful future with Tao Qian, she found his phone unreachable.

This made her more anxious.

If anything happened to Tao Qian, she would not only lose all her money but also the man who loved her most...
