Ning Xiaoning turned her head away, her eyes a little flustered, biting her lower lip, and her voice became much softer: "What can happen to me? I'm just angry that you don't care about your own business. If you are so powerful, why do you let Nuannuan be bullied?"
Li Siqing? Wen Liang asked in surprise, "What happened to her?"
"Yesterday, a few people went to the soy milk shop to cause trouble. Nuannuan happened to be there and was scared by them. I went there late, and Xiaoyin said that Nuannuan was very brave. She stood in front of those people with her little hands to prevent them from smashing things, and was almost knocked down by the push. She felt distressed when she saw me hugging her, and she held my hand to comfort me, saying that as long as Brother Wen was here, I didn't have to be afraid of anything. But you, you..." Xiaoyin is the cashier in the store. She has a few freckles on her face, and her smile is very festive.
Wen Liang understood immediately and said, "Well, it's my fault. I have been busy lately. I already know about this matter. Don't worry, I will take a leave in the afternoon and go there to resolve the matter thoroughly."
Ning Xiaoning was proud, independent and opinionated, and was the most difficult type of girl to approach at her age. If it weren't for Xu Yao, Wen Liang wouldn't have gotten to know her in such a short time. So all along, Wen Liang thought she was ten times more rational than emotional, but he didn't expect that under his deception, she, who had only played around for a few days at the opening of Qinghe Soy Milk, would actually have such deep feelings for the place and get angry with him for Nuan Nuan.
Xu Yao clapped her hands to attract the two people's attention, just like a gang leader mediating during a negotiation. She took over and said, "Okay, I said Wen Liang definitely didn't know. Come on, give me some face and shake hands. Good brothers are loyal to each other, and good sisters don't care. Let's just leave it at that for today."
Wen Liang was troubled by this funny guy and asked, "What movies have you watched these days?"
Xu Yao chuckled and lowered her voice, "My dad hasn't been home recently. I found a lot of discs in his study. The people in the discs all talked like this during negotiations, haha."
Wen Liang opened his mouth to ask Secretary Xu whether he was watching a pirated or authentic version, but he didn't dare to ask. He joked, "Coach, what did you do in Qinghe yesterday? Do you still remember my promise to give you free soy milk?"
Ning Xiaoning suddenly flirted, which aroused Wen Liang's curiosity. Xu Yao laughed: "Last time when I was fighting with Gu Wenyuan on the playground, you asked me where Xiaoning went, but I didn't tell you. Do you know why?"
Wen Liang shook his head.
"She didn't let me say it, but this time she knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she took the initiative to expose it. Oh, I also heard that someone's mother held the girl's hand all day long, saying how good her son was, and she almost praised him like a flower."
Wen Liang stared at Ning Xiaoning, almost incredulous: "My mother said there was a girl who went to Qinghe to help every day. It turned out to be you?"
After lunch, Xu Yao couldn't leave because she had to host a class meeting in the afternoon. Ning Xiaoning was worried about Nuannuan, so she took a leave and followed Wen Liang to Qinghe Soy Milk. After seven or eight days of absence, the business in Qinghe was even more prosperous. Customers were still coming in and out at this time. Li Shengli squatted under a street tree in front of the door, smoking from time to time, and his expression looked a little solemn. Wen Liang motioned Ning Xiaoning to go to the store first, and he walked over to him and squatted down.
When Li Shengli saw Wen Liang, surprise flashed across his eyes. He put out his cigarette on the sole of his shoe and said, "You know everything?"
Wen Liang nodded and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, don't worry, if those hooligans dare to come today, I will make them kneel across the road to apologize to you."
Li Shengli smiled bitterly and shook his head. "That's not necessary. I'm just worried that they were being instigated by someone and that if they chased away one group after another, it would affect business. I went to school yesterday and you guys had already left school. I called your house but you weren't there either. I... I was really a little nervous."
As soon as school was over yesterday, Wen Liang was dragged to Diyuan Garden by Zuo Yuxi, and then he went out with Liu Tianlai to work until midnight, so Li Shengli naturally couldn't find him. Wen Liang was thinking that it was necessary to get a communication tool, otherwise it would really delay things.
"Well, Wei Gang's issue can be resolved in the next two days. I wanted to wait until the overall situation is settled before dealing with him. Since he doesn't want to live anymore, let's do a good deed and help him."
Li Shengli didn't know what the overall situation was. Since Wen Liang was so confident, he could only relax.
Wen Liang said nothing more and went into the store with Li Shengli. Ning Xiaoning was cleaning the place in her yellow work clothes with the words Qinghe Soy Milk printed on them. Her hair hung down from the side of her face, reflecting her jade-like skin, which was quite charming. It was the first time Wen Liang saw her like this. He didn't expect that Ning Xiaoning, who had taken off her cold and arrogant appearance, would be so beautiful. He was quite stunned.
Li Shengli looked a little embarrassed, and explained in a low voice: "I was a little busy recently, and I didn't have time to tell you. It's been about a week, and she insisted on coming to help, and I couldn't refuse. After all, she is your friend..."
Wen Liang shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. If she likes it, let her do it." Although he never asked, he knew that Ning Xiaoning must have a prominent family background. The aristocratic temperament that is awe-inspiring is not something that ordinary people can cultivate. Wen Liang once said that the left eye sees friendship and the right eye sees power, but for these lovely girls, he sticks to the last bottom line: friendship always comes before power! As long as Ning Xiaoning likes it, she can do whatever she wants.
At around 4 o'clock, there were few people in the store. Wen Liang signaled Li Shengli to hang up a sign saying "Inventory underway, temporarily closed" and go out. Not long after, six hooligans arrived as promised, kicked open the store door, and walked in aggressively.
The young man with a scar on his face was lying on the cashier counter. His obscene smile frightened Xiaoyin so much that she shuddered. "Girl, where is your boss?"
Xiaoyin pointed to the operation room and said in a trembling voice: "The boss is in there..."
Wen Liang pulled open the partition and walked out, followed by Ning Xiaoning and Li Shengli. He smiled and asked, "What can I do for you, brothers?"
A long-haired thug with his feet on the table said, "Who the hell do you think you are? Call your boss out. If you don't pay for our brothers' medical expenses today, you'll have to close your shop!"
Ning Xiaoning raised her eyebrows and was about to step forward, but Wen Liang held her hand back.
"This big brother is so domineering, especially his long hair is so smooth. What shampoo do you use, Pantene or Rejoice?" Wen Liang asked very intimately. Ning Xiaoning rolled her eyes helplessly, knowing that Wen Liang was acting weird again.
The long-haired young man was stunned for a moment and said, "What kind of brand is that? Does it remove dandruff? I use dark beer shampoo..."
It seems that the dandruff problem is bothering the long-haired young man. Before Wen Liang could respond, the young man with the scar grabbed the calculator on the cashier counter and smashed it, hitting the long-haired man on the back of the head.
"You're so stupid, if I hear you mention dandruff again, I'll pluck out all the hair down there!"
The long-haired man was so angry that he took out his anger on Wen Liang, pointing at him and yelling, "Are you kidding me? I'm going to smash you to death!" He put his foot down, reached out and grabbed the inside of the round stool, trying to pick it up and smash Wen Liang. He tried hard, but it didn't move. He tried harder, but it still didn't move.
“Brother, those stools are fixed…” Qinghe is the first breakfast shop to use such fixed steel frame tables and chairs. It was the first time for these hooligans to come here last time and they did not notice this detail.
Ning Xiaoning burst into laughter, attracting everyone's attention. She quickly snorted, made her eyes fierce, and glared back fiercely.
The scarred man didn't bother to teach his little brother a lesson this time. He stared at Ning Xiaoning, drooling, and took two steps forward, looking her up and down with lustful eyes. Ning Xiaoning shuddered and subconsciously moved behind Wen Liang. Finally, she couldn't stand being disgusted by him anymore and shouted, "What are you looking at!" She suddenly raised her hand behind her back, and the thing in her hand flew over.
Wen Liang was frightened and shouted, "Be careful!"
The scarred man originally looked terrified, but when he heard Wen Liang's reminder, he noticed that what was flying towards him was actually a shiny noodle knife. He was so frightened that he dodged to the side, and the noodle knife flew past his shoulder.
This frightened everyone. The faces of the gangsters suddenly changed. The scarred man came to his senses and said angrily, "If I don't get your turn today, I'll be wasting my money. Go ahead, smash the store!"
Wen Liang snorted coldly, and a strong voice came from the door: "Scar, are you doing well on Bayi Road now? Are you always smashing people's shops?"
The scarred man turned around and cursed: "Who the hell are you? Are you meddling in other people's business?" But when he saw who it was, he was stunned.
"Ming... Brother Ming, why are you here?"
Brother Ming followed through on the deep impression he had left on Wen Liang last time. He didn't say anything nonsense and just went straight to the point of hitting Scar on the head with a steel pipe. Compared to the brick he used to hit Brother Gua last time, this was a groundbreaking leap in technology.
The long-haired man and his men rushed forward recklessly, and were instantly knocked down by the dozen men brought by Brother Ming. Wen Liang saw Ning Xiaoning frowning, and said with a smile: "Brother Ming, don't make this place dirty. Take them out and teach them to respect girls. Well, how about this, the sidewalk opposite is very wide, it shouldn't be a problem for a few people to kneel down, right?"
Brother Ming nodded in understanding, grabbed a few people and left, not forgetting to close the door. Wen Liang saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull, and smiled: "See, this is quality!"
Li Shengli didn't know how Wen Liang knew the gangsters, and he didn't ask too much. He knew that Wen Liang was different from ordinary people, but he was still shocked by the scene. Xiaoyin looked at Wen Liang with stars in her eyes, her face full of admiration, and secretly decided that Wen Liang was the most ideal lover at the moment. Ning Xiaoning heard Wen Liang's words and knew that he was so angry because that person humiliated her. A strange look flashed in her eyes, and she stared at his profile for a long time before turning her head away without saying a word.
After half an hour, Xiaoyin, who had been paying attention to the other side, suddenly shouted: "Look, look!"
Through the window of the operation room, you can see six people kneeling in a row on the sidewalk opposite, slapping themselves repeatedly. Li Shengli whispered, "It won't be a problem, will it? After all, we are running a store to do business, and it will have a bad impact if it gets out..."
Wen Liang smiled coldly and said, "It's okay. We have closed the door and are so far away. Ordinary people won't think we have anything to do with it. As for this group of thugs wanting revenge? Humph, the matter is not over yet!" These small thugs who do such dirty things are the lowest figures even in the underworld. Not to mention An Laojiu, Brother Ming alone can suppress them. What trouble can there be
