?Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Removing the Roof Tiles_1 Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Removing the Roof Tiles_1 When Mo Huasong drove to the school gate, he saw Mu En returning with a gloomy face.
Mo Huasong quickly stopped the car, rolled down the window and called out, “Mu En.”
Upon hearing someone calling his name, Mu En looked up and saw Mo Huasong and the limited edition Rolls-Royce Cullinan parked next to him. He couldn’t hide his surprise. “Huasong, is this your car?”
This was a limited edition Cullinan. Even though Mu En’s family could afford it, he always kept a low profile and would never buy such a luxurious car.
Mo Huasong laughed, “Sort of. What’s been keeping you busy? I’ve been trying to call you, but I’m always told you’re not at school. Get in the car, I’ll treat you to lunch.”
Finding a moment to catch up with his brother, Mo Huasong temporarily set aside his plans to look for Xiao Jie.
But Mu En shook his head. “Huasong, I really have things to do. I’ll treat you next time.”
Mo Huasong stared at Mu En. “Bro, is something troubling you? Just tell me. I won’t claim to solve all problems, but I can still pull some strings in Zhanshai City.”
Mu En glanced at Mo Huasong and at his Cullinan, hesitated, and finally shook his head, “Brother Huasong, thank you for your kindness, but I do not have any problem. I can handle it myself.”
After speaking, Mu En bid farewell to Mo Huasong and hurried into the school as if he was afraid of being discovered by others.
Seeing Mu En acting like this, Mo Huasong had no choice but to drive to the performance company.
The performance company originally belonged to the Li family. After being taken over by Songhua Group, many newcomers have been signed on.
The performance company rented three floors in a building, near the municipal stadium.
Mo Huasong parked his car downstairs and took the elevator to the floor where the performance company was located.
At the entrance of the company, there were four burly bodyguards. Seeing Mo Huasong, they immediately stopped him, “Sir, please show your ID.”
“What is this? Can’t I go in?” Mo Huasong looked at the performance company inside, starting to get a bit angry.
This was his family company; he was the Crown Prince. He could go in whenever he wanted, right?
The bodyguard nodded, “Yes, without an appointment or a pass, you can’t enter our company.”
These days, Xiao Jie had been rehearsing in the company, and a lot of admirers or fans had been visiting.
To avoid disrupting normal business operation, the boss had hired bodyguards to keep order. No layabouts were allowed in.
“I’m looking for Xiao Jie,” Mo Huasong said. “I can go in now, right?”
“I know you’re looking for Xiao Jie, but without a pass, you can’t go in,” the bodyguard shook his head.
“What? I can’t go in even though I’m looking for Xiao Jie?” Mo Huasong was itching to hit someone.
From behind, a voice shouted, “Kid, what’s so remarkable about you looking for Xiao Jie? I’m here for her too.”
“Yeah, we all came for Xiao Jie.” To the right, a group of young men in suits, each holding a large bouquet of roses, looked like wolves who hadn’t eaten in a hundred years.
The bodyguard pointedly said, “Sir, did you see that? You’re not the only one looking for Miss Xiao Jie. Many more are out here waiting. Sorry, but without the boss or Miss Xiao Jie’s permission, you can’t go in.”
The young man quickly chimed in, “Brother bodyguard, I am Lao Zhiming, the general manager of Silver Tree Company. We have sponsored Xiao Jie’s concert with 10 million. Can’t I go in?”
“Sorry, we don’t know about the sponsorship. We only follow the orders of our boss or Miss Xiao Jie.” Upon hearing Lao Zhiming’s sponsorship of 10 million for Xiao Jie’s concert, the bodyguard realized that he was a rich man and couldn’t be offended.
Lao Zhiming was very angry. He had called the boss of the performance company earlier, but the other party didn’t pick up. He had no idea what was going on.
He tried calling Xiao Jie, but she didn’t pick up either.
Sigh, for the pursuit of Xiao Jie, he had directly sponsored her concert with 10 million. How could she be so heartless?
Lao Zhiming had asked Xiao Jie out for dinner many times, but she had never agreed. It made him very anxious.
Xiao Jie would leave Zhanshai City after the concert. How would he find her then?
When Mo Huasong was about to barge into the building, a beautiful voice rang out from the inside, “What’s going on here?”
“Wow, Xiao Jie has come out to see us.” The eligible bachelors at the back were trembling with excitement.
“Xiao Jie, my goddess, I can finally see her.”
“Xiao Jie, I’ll treat you to lunch. Do you have time?” Lao Zhiming asked eagerly, “I sponsored 10 million.”
Xiao Jie was about to decline when she saw Mo Huasong. Thinking quickly, she pretended not to see him and smiled at Lao Zhiming, “You really want to invite me for a meal?”
“Absolutely, it couldn’t be more earnest.” Lao Zhiming nodded vigorously.
“This is big, someone is about to cross the line.” Fire Spirit called out gleefully.
Upon hearing the conversation between Xiao Jie and Lao Zhiming, Mo Huasong was fuming. “Xiao Jie, you can’t have lunch with anyone else.”
“Who are you, punk? Don’t make me erase you from this world in an instant.” Lao Zhiming was so furious that he pointed at Mo Huasong’s nose and cursed, “I’m a rich man, who are you?”
Lao Zhiming thought that Mo Huasong was just an ordinary fan who couldn’t even afford a bouquet of roses. What was he trying to prove here?
Just as Mo Huasong was about to hit Lao Zhiming, Xiao Jie panicked, thinking that Lao Zhiming was a well-off playboy. It wouldn’t do to escalate the situation.
“Mo Huasong, you can’t hit anyone,” Xiao Jie quickly stepped in front.
Lao Zhiming was overjoyed and wanted to dance for joy. Heavens! So Xiao Jie was stepping up to the defense for his sake. He was elated.
It seemed that Xiao Jie really liked him. Well, who can deny that he was handsome and rich?
“You’re defending him?” Mo Huasong glared at Xiao Jie, his right fist clenched.
“Boss, hit Xiao Jie instead. Don’t hit a woman; instead, tear apart their homes,” Fire Spirit had a mischievous look.
“Black Ghost—” Sword Spirit angrily scolded Fire Spirit.
“Your sister, I’ll kill you if you dare to call me the Black Ghost,” Fire Spirit roared in anger.
Sword Spirit was nonchalant, “Can you defeat me?”
“I…” Fire Spirit deflated.
For some reason, when Mo Huasong saw Xiao Jie’s beautiful face, the surge of burning rage seemed to have cooled somewhat.
Mo Huasong turned his head and glanced at Lao Zhiming, who felt a force hitting his knees.
“Snap.” Lao Zhiming’s legs went soft, and he fell on one knee in front of Mo Huasong.
“Humph.” Mo Huasong lifted his head triumphantly.
“Damn it, who pushed me from behind?” Lao Zhiming climbed up clumsily from behind and glared in anger, trying to find the culprit.
The young men behind him shook their heads vehemently, indicating they had nothing to do with it.
The Silver Tree Company was nothing to sneeze at, it was valued at a billion dollars at least and was not something they could afford to mess with.
Xiao Jie knew that Mo Huasong was pulling a fast one, and she gave him a stern look, “Mo Huasong, what are you doing here? Stop causing trouble.”
