Huayu: Live a carefree life

Even though they had exchanged WeChat contacts after the family dinner, my younger cousin still couldn't bear to part with her sister-in-law, Xiao Hu.

She loudly urged Lu Jie to marry her as soon as possible, which made Xiao Hu blush deeply, after all, she was still a young girl.

After the meal, Lu Jie took Xiao Hu for a walk around the place where he grew up, as promised, and they also visited an old house that had been uninhabited for a long time.

It's actually an apartment building built around the turn of the century, with two bedrooms and a living room, less than 70 square meters, with a large living room and small bedrooms.

Lu Jie's second bedroom was only big enough for a wardrobe, a small bed about 1.2 meters wide, and a desk; the space was extremely cramped.

Since everything that could be moved had been moved, the house was very dusty, so the two abandoned their original plan to have sex in the old house.

"Xiao Hu, you grew up in Shenzhen and then went to Beijing to study."

Lu Jie held Xiao Hu's hand as they walked along the riverside park path, enjoying the river breeze. "This must be your first time visiting a third-tier city like Jiuzi, right?"

"Yeah, my brother's place is really nice. It's clean and tidy, and there are small parks everywhere. It seems like a great place to live."

Just then, the musical fountain in the square began to play, and Xiao Hu immediately pulled Lu Jie over to enjoy it.

"Wow, brother~ there's even a musical fountain! How romantic~"

Xiao Hu, like any other girl, leaned against Lu Jie's side to enjoy the musical fountain, and even had Lu Jie take many photos of her.

It has to be said, celebrities are celebrities; even Lu Jie's mediocre photography skills produce some great photos.

The two strolled around like any ordinary couple until 9:30, taking pictures and occasionally leaning against the railing to eat a little something, exuding a very affectionate vibe.

Back in the neighborhood, the tired couple casually slipped into a beer bar on a street corner, and their handsome man and beautiful woman instantly attracted a lot of attention.

"Brother, there are so many foreigners in Jiuzhe?" Xiao Hu sat down against Lu Jie's bar and looked around.

Lu Jie was also a little curious, and the young boss at the bar helped answer the question: "Most of the foreigners come to Cherry Auto for events; there aren't usually this many."

"You two are from out of town, aren't you? What would you like to drink?"

Lu Jie nodded slightly. "Give her a glass of peach craft beer, and I'll have a wheat beer, and a serving of edamame and peanuts."

The beer and snacks were served quickly. Lu Jie was looking at Xiao Hu fiddling with the photos he had just taken when he vaguely heard someone behind him talking about Xiao Hu in English.

The mocking laughter and vulgar language made him frown. After thinking for a moment, he quietly pressed the bodyguard's call button.

At this moment, a fairly good-looking white man walked over, placed his beer glass next to Xiao Hu, and ignored Lu Jie's attempt to strike up a conversation with her.

"Hey sweet heart, I'm from Newyork. Mind I grab your WeChat?"

Seeing Xiao Hu's confused look, he smiled frivolously and added in broken Chinese, "WeChat, add me on WeChat."

Xiao Hu frowned, about to politely refuse, when Lu Jie launched into a tirade, "Fxxk off yourself, son of the beach. Get lost and leave us alone."

"What fxxk? I'm talking to this baby, so butt out. You the fxxking monkey!" he said, reaching out to grab Xiao Hu's wrist.

Xiao Hu just didn't have time to react; he wasn't completely ignorant of English, at least he could understand words containing "mother".

Seeing that the man was about to grab him, he quickly hid behind Lu Jie, looking at the foreigner with a wary expression.

When the conflict broke out, the foreigner's two companions quickly came to his aid, standing beside the white man with unfriendly expressions.

"You three motherfxxkers want a piece of me?" Lu Jie glanced at the three foreigners disdainfully and provocatively said.

He pointed to the security camera on the wall. "Let's take it outside; there are cameras here. You got no balls or what, Son of the Beach?"

The three silly foreigners were immediately enraged by this very American-style provocation and were ready to start a fight on the spot.

Lu Jie still looked at the three of them with disdain, "Oh, you want scrap right here? Come get some."

He then gestured with his chin towards Old Chen and his bodyguard, who had already entered the store, and said, "Just knock them down."

"Stop, stop, stop! Let's talk this out!" A young man who had been sitting at the same table with the three of them and had been pretending to be dead quickly tried to smooth things over.

"My friend, it's just a small misunderstanding. Besides, you weren't exactly forgiving with your words. It's not worth it..."

Lu Jie didn't tolerate him at all. "Go to hell! Didn't you hear what those idiots used to describe my girlfriend? Or do you think I don't understand?"

"You didn't step up when they were outnumbered three to one, but now that my people are here, you're pretending to be a good guy? You idiot."

Lu Jie rummaged through the employee badge tucked into his shirt pocket and confirmed that he was indeed an employee of Cherry Auto.

Unfortunately, a fight didn't break out, but the matter still ended up at the police station.

Lu Jie showed his ID card and cooperated with the recording of his statement. Old Chen and the other two showed their security guard certificates issued by Beijing and also took out batons and other cold weapons for inspection.

This action startled the three naive foreigners who were starting to sober up; it was just that this land was too peaceful, making them a little complacent.

Criticism and education were necessary, but the police did not side with the foreigner.

The foreigner who started the trouble later apologized to Xiao Hu after being calmed down by several middle-level managers from Cherry Auto who arrived at the scene.

Lu Jie refused the so-called reciprocal apology and directly dialed Lao Yin's private number at Cherry Auto. One of the middle managers who saw the contact name twitched.

The call connected in less than three rings, and Lu Jie immediately pressed speakerphone. "Hey, Lu, did you dial the wrong number or what? Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

"Hehe, sorry to disturb your rest, Chairman Yin. I wouldn't have come here today without a reason."

Lu Jie didn't stand on ceremony with him. He glanced at the Cherry employee who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb during the previous conflict and said, "Fire someone for me, XXX from Cherry International."

"Who? I've never heard of this name before, what's going on?" Old Yin asked, puzzled.

"Just some nobody. Cherry's got an event in Jiuzi, right? I'm just back in Jiuzi to rest, so I'll go out for a stroll with my girlfriend tonight."

"This idiot in your company stood by and did nothing while three equally idiotic foreigners were harassing my girlfriend. He only jumped in to mediate when my bodyguard was about to beat them up. Shouldn't you have fired him?"

"What the hell?" Old Yin's tone became serious, and Lu Jie gestured for the cherry employees on site to report to their boss.

He walked up to the white-clad man, looked down at him, and teased him.

"Hey asshole, you think you can act tough like that in New York?"

"You should be glad you're in China, otherwise you'd be full of holes by now."

Lu Jie's two sentences terrified the three foreigners, who turned pale. Although they couldn't understand Chinese, they weren't stupid.

The dejected look on Xiao Sun's face, who accompanied them on this outing, spoke volumes.

Soon, the Cherry employees at the scene respectfully returned the phone and said they would handle the employee involved according to his instructions.

He also extended an invitation to Lao Yin to have breakfast together, along with Mayor Jiuzi.

Lu Jie recalled his schedule and then sent a message to Lao Yin, a senior figure in the automotive industry, saying that they could have morning tea together the next day.

He also happens to have plans to invest in his hometown, so this is a good opportunity to get in touch.
