Chapter 2147: Chapter 2210: The Guilty Party Complains First

When Wu Shuwei asked this, Lu Youx understood what was going on. That Li Yifei hadn’t mentioned this matter yet, so he said: "This is what happened, I just found out that last night some workers actually got into a conflict with your bodyguard. After learning about the situation, I hurried over to apologize to you."

"Li Yifei got into a conflict with the workers?" Wu Shuwei frowned at Lu Youx. Naturally, she didn’t believe what he said, and she wasn’t worried about Li Yifei’s safety at all. After glancing at the reason given, Wu Shuwei formed a plan in her mind, took a sip of hot water, and said, "Oh, and then?"

"Then..." Lu Youx was still staring at Wu Shuwei, but she didn’t show any expression, which made him a little uneasy. After a pause of a few seconds, he said: "Nothing much, just some conflict, there might have been some physical altercations. But I think this is a minor issue and shouldn’t be blown up, so I’m talking to you to suggest you restrain your bodyguards while I talk to the workers, and that’s the end of it."

"I don’t quite understand." Wu Shuwei pursed her lips, sat down with the water cup, and said, "Since there was a conflict, there has to be a reason. You’re not telling me they just started fighting randomly on the street, are you? I don’t think Yifei is that kind of person."

Speaking of which, Wu Shuwei thought about the timing of the incident. Li Yifei was with her all last night, except when he went back to his room. Either scenario was fine, but if it was the latter, it would be more serious. But she didn’t know anything for sure right now, so she wasn’t going to say much.

Lu Youx changed his posture and said: "I’m also trying to understand, perhaps some of the workers felt resentful because you had barbecue last night and they didn’t get anything, so they went looking for trouble with your bodyguard, after all, he was the one who brought it up."

Lu Youx had already warned those people not to talk nonsense, so even if they were called to confront each other now, they would say different things from last night, but it wouldn’t be traced back to Lu Youx.

Moreover, he felt quite smart for thinking up this excuse, steering the conversation towards the barbecue event last night. It would bring Wu Shuwei into the issue, leaving her speechless, since she was involved too.

Wu Shuwei’s beautiful eyes shifted, "Is that so?"

"What else?" Lu Youx placed his hands on his legs, lightly patted them, stood up and walked a few steps, "But this is no major issue. In truth, your bodyguard is quite skilled, quite the fighter. Those workers were seriously beaten, your bodyguard should be fine."

"Oh? Are you implying that I should compensate those workers?" Wu Shuwei asked.

"No, of course not. Those workers brought it on themselves. Taking a beating is a lesson learned. I’m just here to tell you, to prevent further misunderstandings." Lu Youx smiled lightly, hands in pockets, and said, "Speaking of which, I had a bit of a verbal spat with your bodyguard yesterday. The young man is quite temperamental, youthful and vigorous, he needs some tempering. Otherwise, if he meets with hotheads, he might end up at a disadvantage."

"He’s indeed quite a fighter."

"Being able to fight is useless, this isn’t like back home where everyone has a gun, a single bullet ends everything." Lu Youx said.

Their conversation seemed normal on the surface, seemingly concerned about Li Yifei. But in fact, their words were laced with sarcasm. Wu Shuwei listened, set down her cup, and said, "I understand the situation, but Chief Lu, you’re being vague or haven’t thoroughly investigated. I feel it’s unlikely that just because of a barbecue they would harbor resentment and cause trouble. If that’s the case, such employees aren’t worth keeping. The companies in Africa represent our nation’s image. If all our workers are like this, it could invite disaster, causing local disputes, and potentially harm the company’s interests."

Lu Youx’s expression slightly changed, not expecting Wu Shuwei to counterattack him. This was something he didn’t foresee, but he soon laughed, "Hmm, this matter needs further investigation. What exactly happened, I will look into it. I appreciate your concern, Manager Wu. However, I still trust our company’s talent selection and training, but Manager Wu, please also restrain your bodyguard to prevent further conflicts."

Wu Shuwei coldly looked at Lu Youx without responding. Lu Youx waited for a while and said, "Alright, I think I’ve been enough of a bother. I shall take my leave, Manager Wu, carry on."

"Mmm, no need to see you off." Wu Shuwei said.

After Lu Youx left, Wu Shuwei snorted, walked over, closed the door, turned around, and took out the phone to call Li Yifei. At this moment, Li Yifei was already awake, finishing his exercise, chatting with some women in the family who hadn’t gone to bed yet. When he received the call from Wu Shuwei, Li Yifei immediately knew what it was about from her tone and was about to explain, but Wu Shuwei said: "Yifei, come over and talk, let’s have breakfast together."

"Alright, I’ll be there!" Li Yifei said.

Five minutes later, Li Yifei appeared in Wu Shuwei’s room. A worker hiding in the shadows saw this scene, quickly dialed the phone, and when Lu Youx got back to his living quarters, he let out a heavy sigh, having hit a wall with Wu Shuwei, and now had to watch her pair up with that kid.

"Damn it, you bitch, don’t think I won’t use force!" Lu Youx clenched his fist, thinking, once pushed, I’ll take you by force, whether you agree or not.

In Wu Shuwei’s room, she was washing up while Li Yifei was already there. Seeing the cup on the table, he poured some hot water and sipped slowly. Once Wu Shuwei finished tidying up and came out, seeing Li Yifei drinking from her cup widened her eyes at once.

"What’s wrong?" Li Yifei asked upon seeing her expression.

Wu Shuwei exhaled and said, "Nothing."

"Oh, what did you call me for?"

"What happened last night?" Wu Shuwei asked.

Li Yifei chuckled and said, "Several workers were instructed to come to my room wanting to beat me. But since I wasn’t there, I caught them smashing my bed with sticks when I returned, so I conveniently taught them a lesson."

"Who instructed them?" Wu Shuwei asked.

Li Yifei raised his hand to rub his forehead. "Can’t you guess who?"

"Lu Youx just came by and mentioned this incident. He said it was because the workers felt resentful that we had barbecue and they didn’t, plus it was your suggestion, that’s why they went after you..."

Li Yifei put down the cup, stood up, licked his lips - a gesture that made Wu Shuwei blush. Seeing Li Yifei walk over, she said, "So what, those workers lied?"

"Who would resort to violence over missing a barbecue meal? Especially having several people angrily rallying together, that’s nonsense." Li Yifei stood in front of Wu Shuwei, pinched her chin, looked left and right, then said, "Got fever, went silly yesterday?"

"You’re silly, I didn’t know the situation, did I? If you know, just say it." Wu Shuwei batted his hand away, but Li Yifei dodged. As Wu Shuwei put her hand down, he pinched her chin again.

"Silly girl, don’t act like you don’t know. Lu Youx has an interest in you, then thought our relationship was too close, so he wanted to teach me a lesson." Li Yifei finished speaking, Wu Shuwei’s eyes widened, looking at Li Yifei while shaking her head: "Impossible, although that guy is annoying, he wouldn’t go that far, and besides, he’s over forty, it’s impossible for me to like him."

"Haha, men at forty bloom like flowers, it’s a prime age, after all. He’s also the head of the African Region, quite the young achiever." Li Yifei said earnestly, but his grin betrayed him. As Wu Shuwei’s expression changed, her brows furrowed, Li Yifei then said, "It was Lu Youx who arranged it. We had a conflict yesterday, and he got hurt like that, but even though I did it, he’d never know it’s me. He’d take it as a curse from me, especially since I gave him a fortune telling yesterday, but his plan didn’t quite work. If I don’t push him, he should consider himself lucky, yet he dared to hit back on me."

"Alright then." Wu Shuwei understood, then raised her fist to lightly punch Li Yifei, saying, "You caused this mess yourself, don’t drag me into it, and stop joking that he likes me. If you dare say that again, I’ll beat you up first."

"If you hit me, I definitely won’t dodge. Just as long as you’re not afraid of hurting your hand. But if others dare hit me, I won’t just stand there." Li Yifei said, throwing a wink at Wu Shuwei, who responded with a roll of her eyes. The two exchanged a few amused glances, and Wu Shuwei finally said, "Yifei, after all, Lu Youx is the regional manager, the person in charge here, we’re just here to finalize contracts, it’s better not to go overboard. He’s quite the big shot around here, if he truly wants to plot against you, it could be troublesome."

"I’m not afraid. What I’m worried about is you spending too much time with him these days, beware of his wolfish intent." Li Yifei said with a tilt of his chin.

"I told you not to joke about this!" Wu Shuwei sternly said, glaring at Li Yifei, "I don’t enjoy jokes like this either, and there’s no way I’m interested in a man that old."

"Oh, so it seems you fancy someone around your age."

"Now you’re just being silly. I like dedicated, charismatic men." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

"Hey, hey, I might not be able to do dedicated, but as for charisma, dare you say I’m not charismatic?" Li Yifei immediately protested.

"Yes, I really don’t find you charming, just a country bumpkin, a silly soldier." Wu Shuwei said seriously.

Li Yifei immediately covered his face, acted devastated, and said, "My gosh, you actually said I have no charisma, I’m hurt. I’ve decided to eat two more buns for breakfast, meat-filled ones."

Upon hearing this, Wu Shuwei couldn’t help but smirk and then giggle uncontrollably. Li Yifei also chuckled and said, "Get dressed, we’ll go have breakfast."
