Chapter 118: Chapter 118: A Gift for Sister-in-Law

"You took your time getting here, didn’t you?" Song Xiaodong looked up at Chen Zixu, his tone utterly calm and natural.

"Ha... well... I was in the restroom and didn’t have my phone. When I came out and saw your message, I hurried over here. I even ran four red lights on the way, big brother. I really wasn’t trying to be slow."

Zhao Pingzhi and Li Sijie were both staring dumbfounded at Song Xiaodong and Chen Zixu. What was going on here? It seemed like Song Xiaodong was much tougher than Chen Zixu, almost as if Chen Zixu was scared of him.

Song Xiaodong waved his hand, saying, "Forget it. I heard you were planning to take back this club?"

When Chen Zixu had arrived, he had already guessed why Song Xiaodong had called him here. He immediately waved his hand and said, "Not at all. How could I do something like that? President Li has always had a great partnership with our company, and she’s been punctual with the rent. Why would I take back the building? There must be a misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding. It must be some damn fool under my command messing things up. I’ll go back and check right away. When I find out, I’m gonna skin him alive for even daring to take my sister-in-law’s building. That’s like having the audacity of a bear and the courage of a leopard."

"Gasp!" Li Sijie’s face flushed red all of a sudden. That sister-in-law he mentioned was her.

Song Xiaodong did not offer any defense and just snorted, asking, "So, does that mean you’re not taking the building back?"

Chen Zixu quickly said, "Not taking it! Absolutely not! Since sister-in-law is running her business here, not only will I not take it back, but I could even give it to sister-in-law as a gift."

"No, no!" Li Sijie gasped, waving her hands frantically, her cheeks growing even redder.

Chen Zixu of course wasn’t willing to actually give the building to Li Sijie, but over the past two days, he had become completely impotent, visiting several hospitals and finding no diagnosis. The more he thought about it, the more he feared that he might really lose his sexual ability forever, which to him was worse than death.

So, for the sake of his happiness in later life, even though it was hard to part with the building, he had to let it go. After all, his family was rich; a building worth ten or twenty million was still something he could afford.

"Sister-in-law, you’re being too polite! Previously, I didn’t know about your relationship with big brother, but now that I do, I have to give a meeting gift. No more words, I’ll arrange for someone to handle the procedures right away. We’ll transfer the building directly to you, sister-in-law, to prevent any future complications."

Song Xiaodong waved his hand, saying, "You really know how to do business, don’t you? Here’s the deal, we’re not just going to take your building for free—you just sign a twenty-year contract, and the rent can remain the same as before."

Hearing Song Xiaodong say this, Chen Zixu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Big brother, you’re making me embarrassed. If I still want the rent after saying all this, I might as well lose face. As long as sister-in-law wants to use this building, she can use it however long she wants."

"No no, that would be inappropriate. How could I use your building for free?" Li Sijie was completely stunned by the series of statements, and indeed, she didn’t even have the presence of mind to explain about Chen Zixu calling her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, you see, you’re treating me like an outsider now. With the friendship I share with my big brother, it’s nothing. Let’s just settle this. I’ll arrange for it right away. Sister-in-law, you can rest easy, and if anyone dares to cause trouble at the club in the future, just call me. I’ll skin them alive."

At this point, Song Xiaodong said, "That settles it then. Go arrange for someone to handle it, and I’ll swing by your place in a few days."

"You got it!" Chen Zixu was overjoyed and quickly said, "Big brother, just give me a call before you come so I can prepare. I’ll arrange for a couple of beauties to wait on you... Ah! No, no, I mean a couple of good wine bottles. Sister-in-law, don’t misunderstand, I may love beautiful girls, but our big brother isn’t interested in these things."

"Scram." Song Xiaodong cracked Chen Zixu up too.

Chen Zixu chuckled and, fearing irritating Song Xiaodong further, scurried away quickly. Now that Song Xiaodong had agreed, he no longer had to worry about continuing to play the eunuch.

Zhao Pingzhi’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. Had he not known Chen Zixu, he would have definitely thought he was a plant brought in by Song Xiaodong. Chen Zixu was quite an impressive figure among young people; very few could match him. Yet here he was, calling Song Xiaodong "big brother" repeatedly and, most importantly, this guy was just an employee in the clubhouse.

"Rich second generation, official second generation! You damn sure are the type, pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger in the clubhouse just to pick up girls. Damn it, can’t you guys do something proper?"

Internally cursing Song Xiaodong, Zhao Pingzhi plastered a smile on his face and said, "Sir, I was very offensive just now, please don’t take it to heart."

Miao Xuanxuan snorted, saying, "That’ll teach you to underestimate others."

"Yes, yes, I underestimated others. It’s all my fault, my fault. I mean, I did it for Sijie... no, no, I’m just Sijie’s classmate, I really don’t have any designs on her, big brother, please don’t get me wrong."

Song Xiaodong waved his hand, saying, "Alright, go do what you need to do."

Zhao Pingzhi scurried off dejectedly, like a dog that had lost its home, afraid that Song Xiaodong might change his mind and deal with him.

"Song Xiaodong, what’s going on here? Why is Chen Zixu so afraid of you?" Miao Xuanxuan plopped down beside Song Xiaodong, grabbing his arm, her face full of gossip.

Song Xiaodong said with a grin, "It’s nothing much, a few days ago my sister, Xiaoqiang, and I went out to eat, and then this guy tried to flirt with my sister. I got mad and handled him, and also kind of sabotaged him by making him lose his male function."

"Pfft... you turned him into a eunuch! Haha..." Miao Xuanxuan burst out laughing, then couldn’t stop herself from laughing heartily.

Li Sijie too turned red, but she said in surprise, "The sabotage you did, couldn’t he just go to a doctor to have it fixed?"

Song Xiaodong said with a smile, "It was a special technique I used; other doctors wouldn’t be able to cure it, only I can cure him."

Miao Xuanxuan slung her arm over Song Xiaodong’s shoulder, laughing as she spoke, "That’s really naughty of you. From now on, anyone who messes with you could be turned into a eunuch by you, surely no one will dare to mess with you again."

"Ha... no way, then I’d just be bullying people. I only use such approaches on those who anger me," he replied.

Li Sijie sat on the other side of Song Xiaodong, her eyes soft as she looked at him. She had thought this man was just somewhat skilled in Kung Fu and nothing special, but now, he seemed more and more inscrutable to her. This sense of mystery was truly captivating.
