Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Chapter 1094 Zhou Xiaobai

Wang Weidong learned the whole story from Liu Changyi and almost laughed out loud.

These guys are really shooting themselves in the foot.

However, Wang Weidong didn't have the time to take care of these things at this time.

The sales of minicomputers have been booming recently, and there is an endless stream of customers coming to the Orchid Automobile Factory to place orders for minicomputers every day.

Although with Yu Li's assistance, Yu Li could only receive ordinary customers. For big customers from Hong Kong and abroad, Wang Weidong had to show up in person.

After sending away the merchants from North America, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Wang Weidong rode his bicycle slowly towards home.

It was dark and the streets were empty. When I turned the corner, I heard a girl shouting for help.

My heart tightened, and I rode my bike towards the direction of the sound without hesitation. As the distance got closer, the cry for help became clearer.

When he came to the corner of the street, he saw three ruffians surrounding a young girl. The girl was terrified and kept struggling, trying to get rid of them.

Wang Weidong immediately shouted, "What are you doing?" The three young men were startled by the sudden shout and turned to look at Wang Weidong. One of the young men with dyed yellow hair said viciously, "Mind your own business and get out of here!"

Wang Weidong would not be intimidated by them. He jumped off his bicycle, put it aside, and walked over with big strides. "How dare you bully a girl in broad daylight? Is there any law?" Wang Weidong said righteously.

Another tall and thin young man sneered, "Law? I am the law here. Leave now if you know what's good for you, or you'll be in trouble." As he said that, he took out a knife from his pocket and shook it in his hand.

Wang Weidong showed no fear. He looked at the young men and said, "I will deal with this matter today. Let this girl go immediately, or I will call the police."

Seeing Wang Weidong being so tough, the young men hesitated for a moment. They looked at each other, as if considering whether to continue to pester him. At this moment, the trapped girl took the opportunity to break free from their restraints and ran behind Wang Weidong.

"Brother, save me. They want to be hooligans." The girl said in a crying voice.

  With the help of dim vision, Wang Weidong took a closer look. The girl had a pretty face, was wearing officer's uniform, and had a watch on her wrist... Isn't this Zhou Xiaobai!

There is still some time before the plot begins. Zhou Xiaobai looks a little younger than in the original work, and has more vigor and vitality.

Wang Weidong comforted them, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Then he looked at the young men, "Why don't you leave? Are you really waiting for me to call the police?"

The young men fixed their eyes on Zhou Xiaobai and ignored Wang Weidong. One of the young men with a thick face waved the dagger in his hand and said viciously, "Stop meddling in other people's business. Get out of here if you know what's best for you. Otherwise, you'll be in trouble."

Zhou Xiaobai became more and more frightened. She looked at Wang Weidong worriedly and whispered, "Brother, don't worry about me. They are too dangerous."

Wang Weidong was not afraid at all. He straightened his back, looked at the young men with a firm gaze, and said, "I will take care of this matter today! You guys leave quickly, or I will really call the police."

The young men were enraged by Wang Weidong's attitude. They rushed towards him waving daggers. Wang Weidong did not flinch at all and bravely faced him. He dodged the attack of the young man who rushed over first, grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard. The young man felt pain and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. Seeing this, the other two young men rushed towards Wang Weidong even more frantically.

Wang Weidong dodged their attacks flexibly, looking for opportunities to counterattack. He found an opening and kicked one of the young men in the abdomen, causing him to bend over in pain. The remaining young man was a little timid, but he still rushed forward. Wang Weidong was quick-witted and grabbed his arm, swung him hard, and threw him aside.

Seeing how brave Wang Weidong was, the young men knew they were no match for him, so they ran away in shame. Wang Weidong looked at their backs going away and breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Zhou Xiaobai and said with a smile, "It's okay, they're gone."

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Wang Weidong with admiration, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes. "Brother, you are so awesome. If it weren't for you today, I really don't know what would have happened."

Wang Weidong waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. Be careful when you go out alone at night. Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Zhou Xiaobai nodded, his heart filled with warmth.

She turned around to leave, but suddenly stopped, ran back, and said with a smile: "My name is Zhou Xiaobai, I live in the compound at the entrance of West Street, what about you?"

"My name is Wang Weidong, and I work at the Orchid Automobile Factory." Wang Weidong hid his identity as the factory director.

Zhou Xiaobai hesitated for a moment, "Brother, it's getting late, can you take me back?"

Zhou Xiaobai's bright eyes flashed with anticipation, she bit her lower lip slightly, as if she was a little shy about asking him to take her home. Wang Weidong looked at her lovely appearance, his heart softened, and he agreed without hesitation.

The two walked side by side towards the compound. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Zhou Xiaobai's hair fluttered gently in the wind, exuding a faint fragrance. She occasionally glanced at Wang Weidong secretly, and sometimes smiled and told interesting stories in her life. Wang Weidong was also infected by her liveliness and shared some of his experiences working in the automobile factory.

"It must be interesting for you to work in a car factory? You can see all kinds of cars every day." Zhou Xiaobai asked curiously.

Wang Weidong smiled and said, "It's not all fun. There are hard times at work. But seeing cars coming off the production line, I still feel a sense of accomplishment."

As the two were chatting, a young man in officer's uniform ran out of the courtyard.

The young man had a gloomy face and walked quickly to Wang Weidong and Zhou Xiaobai. His eyes were full of jealousy and dissatisfaction, and he glared at Wang Weidong fiercely.

"Who are you? Stay away from Xiaobai!" the young man shouted.

Wang Weidong was slightly stunned, looking at the aggressive young man in front of him, feeling a little unhappy. But he remained calm and said, "I'm just sending Xiaobai home, don't get me wrong."

The young man was not willing to give in. "Send you home? I think you have bad intentions! Xiaobai, how can you be with a stranger?"

Zhou Xiaobai frowned and said to the young man, "He is not a stranger. His name is Wang Weidong. He just helped me on the road. Don't be so rude."

The young man got even angrier after hearing what Zhou Xiaobai said. "So what if I helped you? Who knows what his purpose is. Xiaobai, you are not allowed to have any contact with him anymore."

Wang Weidong felt that the young man was unreasonable, and he said, "Don't go too far. Xiaobai and I just met by chance, it's not as complicated as you think." But the young man didn't listen at all, and continued to accuse Wang Weidong, "Don't pretend to be a good person here. I warn you, stay away from Xiaobai, otherwise you will be in trouble."

Seeing the young man being so unreasonable, Zhou Xiaobai also got angry. "How could you do this? Zhong Yuemin! Wang Weidong is my friend, you have no right to interfere with who I make friends with."

Zhong Yuemin... No wonder this guy has such a bad temper!

Wang Weidong did not have a good impression of Zhong Yuemin. He waved at Zhou Xiaobai and said, "Comrade Zhou Xiaobai, I have sent you home safely. I have to go back now. Goodbye."

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Wang Weidong's receding back, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She turned around and said to Zhong Yuemin angrily: "Yuemin, you went too far today. Wang Weidong is my lifesaver, how could you treat him like that?"

Zhong Yuemin was not convinced. He frowned and said, "Xiaobai, I am doing this for your own good. It is very dangerous for a girl like you to be with a strange man in the middle of the night. I am worried about you."

Zhou Xiaobai got even angrier after hearing this. She raised her voice and said, "Worried about me? You are being unreasonable. Wang Weidong saved me. He is a good man. Not only are you not grateful to him, you are also so mean to him. How did you become like this?"

Zhong Yuemin felt very aggrieved. He argued, "How am I being unreasonable? I just don't want you to be cheated by others. Look at you. You are so mean to me for him. Are you in love with him?"

Zhou Xiaobai was stunned by Zhong Yuemin's words. Her cheeks flushed slightly and she quickly denied, "What are you talking about? How could I like him? I just think your behavior today was too much."

Zhong Yuemin didn't believe Zhou Xiaobai's words. He looked at Zhou Xiaobai's expression and became more certain of his guess. "You still don't admit it. Look at you just now when you were with him, you were talking and laughing, so happy. You've never treated me like this before."

Zhou Xiaobai was angry and anxious. She didn't know how to explain to Zhong Yuemin. "Yuemin, don't let your imagination run wild. Wang Weidong and I just met. He saved me and we just talked for a few minutes. Can you please stop being so sensitive?"

Zhong Yuemin couldn't listen to Zhou Xiaobai's words. He was full of jealousy and anxiety. "I'm sensitive? If you don't have any feelings for him, why do you talk to him so much? Why do you scold me? You obviously like him."

Zhou Xiaobai sighed helplessly. She felt that Zhong Yuemin was completely unreasonable now. "Yuemin, can you be more mature? Don't be so impulsive all the time. Wang Weidong is a good person. We should be grateful to him instead of doubting him. If you continue like this, we can't even be friends anymore."

Zhong Yuemin was shocked when he heard what Zhou Xiaobai said.

He watched Zhou Xiaobai run into the compound.

"Wang Weidong, huh... How dare you steal my girlfriend? I think you are tired of living."

...

Wang Weidong had no idea that he was being targeted for saving someone;

It doesn't matter even if I know.

He didn't take Zhong Yuemin, Zhou Haiyang and the others seriously at all.

These guys have no abilities at all, but relying on their parents' protection, they make trouble on the streets all day long, totally bringing shame to their parents.

After returning home, Wang Weidong chatted with Yang Maixiang for a while and then fell asleep.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wang Weidong rode his bicycle towards the Orchid Automobile Factory.

The morning sun shone through the gaps in the leaves into the grove outside the Lanhua Automobile Factory. Under the mottled light and shadow, Zhong Yuemin, Zheng Tong, and Zhang Haiyang were quietly lying in ambush. Zhong Yuemin's face was gloomy, and his eyes revealed a fierceness.

"When Wang Weidong comes later, we will attack him together and teach him a lesson to avenge me." Zhong Yuemin said gritting his teeth.

Zheng Tong was a little scared. He frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "Yuemin, this is not a good idea, right? What if something bad happens? Let's not act impulsively."

Zhong Yuemin glared at Zheng Tong and said unhappily, "What are you afraid of? Wang Weidong was so arrogant yesterday. If we don't teach him a lesson, he will think we are easy to bully."

Zheng Tong was still worried and continued to persuade: "But if we are discovered doing this, we will definitely be in trouble. We can't do such a thing just because of the impulse."

Zhong Yuemin snorted coldly and said, "You are just a coward. He made me lose face in front of Xiaobai yesterday, and I can't swallow this anger. Today I must let him know how powerful I am."

Zhang Haiyang had been silent, so he said, "Yuemin, I think what Zheng Tong said makes sense. It's a bit risky for us to do this. If something goes wrong, it will be a tough situation for us."

Seeing Zheng Tong and Zhang Haiyang hesitated, Zhong Yuemin became even more angry. He stared at them fiercely, his tone full of threats: "If you don't help, then we won't be brothers anymore. I, Zhong Yuemin, will keep my word."

Zheng Tong and Zhang Haiyang looked at each other, they were both very conflicted. On the one hand, they really didn't want to cause trouble, after all, they also knew that doing so might bring serious consequences. But on the other hand, they didn't want to lose their brother Zhong Yuemin, and they also hoped to develop in the future by relying on the relationship with the old man of the Zhong family.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Zheng Tong and Zhang Haiyang finally agreed reluctantly. Zheng Tong sighed and said, "Okay, Yuemin, we'll listen to you. But don't be too harsh, otherwise something serious will happen."

Zhang Haiyang also nodded and said, "Yes, let's just stop here and don't make things out of control."

Seeing that they agreed, Zhong Yuemin showed a smug smile on his face. He patted Zheng Tong and Zhang Haiyang on the shoulders and said, "These are my good brothers. We will act according to circumstances and make sure Wang Weidong knows how powerful we are."

At this time, Wang Weidong came over unsteadily on his bicycle, humming a little tune.

As soon as he walked to the grove, Wang Weidong felt that someone was watching him.

I squinted my eyes and looked at it, and immediately laughed.

Wow, Zhong Yuemin is indeed as impulsive as in the original book.

I just talked a few words to Zhou Xiaobai yesterday, and this guy came to my door!
