After a while, seeing that the situation in the store remained orderly, Xia Weilan told the store manager something and then headed towards the elevator.
The elevator doors slid open. Inside, Second Uncle Xia, who had been in a good mood, suddenly caught sight of Xia Weilan. His expression darkened instantly. He gave her a disdainful look before leaving in dissatisfaction.
Xia Weilan watched the direction Second Uncle Xia had gone. He was headed to the Xia family's jewelry store.
As one of the company's shareholders, it was not surprising for Second Uncle Xia to come and check on the company's performance. So Xia Weilan didn't pay any more attention to him and stepped directly into the elevator.
"What a rude girl!" Second Uncle Xia turned back to look at the closed elevator doors and said with a sneer.
Just thinking about how the old master Xia had given the old mansion to this girl made him fume. It felt as if the money in his pocket had been stolen and then used openly by others. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and his eyes seemed to flare with rage.
Xia Weilan made her way to the parking lot. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw two men loitering around her car.
When they saw Xia Weilan approaching, they immediately surrounded her. "Where are you going, little girl? How about I take you somewhere nice?"
The two men leered at Xia Weilan and reached out to pull her towards their car.
Xia Weilan narrowed her eyes and shook off their hands. She said in a cold voice, "Who sent you?"
The two men cornered Xia Weilan. One of them took out a bottle of spray from his pocket and stared at her menacingly.
Xia Weilan glanced at their hands but showed no sign of worry. With her skills, it would be easy for her to deal with these two punks, but she didn't move.
"Aren't you going to come out? How much longer do you want to watch?"
Xia Weilan's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it clearly reached every corner of the parking lot.
The two men looked at Xia Weilan suspiciously. Just as they were about to use the spray to knock her out, they suddenly felt their hands being grabbed from behind. They couldn't move at all. Then, they felt a sharp pain in their wrists, and the spray bottle fell to the ground.
The other man just realized what was going on. Before he could get angry, he was kicked flying by someone. His waist hit the car body and he fell to the ground, unable to get up.
An Shan was holding two mobile phones she had taken from the men. She looked calm, while the two men on the ground were moaning in pain.
"Your skills are quite good!" Xia Weilan crossed her arms and looked at An Shan appreciatively.
"You didn't want to make a move, weren't you just waiting to see my performance? Of course I have to do my best, otherwise how can I satisfy Miss Xia!"
An Shan stepped on one of the men and said without blinking an eye.
Then An Shan quickly checked the mobile phones in her hand. Then she looked up and said, "The person they just contacted is Second Uncle Xia."
Xia Weilan was a little surprised. An Shan grabbed the wrist of the man under her foot and pulled him up. "Do you know that the person you've offended is Mo Beichen's woman? You're really asking for trouble. You've had enough of living!"
The hooligan looked terrified and pleaded with An Shan, "Auntie, we're wrong. We just took Second Uncle Xia's money and wanted to scare her. We didn't mean to do anything. Please spare us."
"Tell these words to the police." An Shan said coldly. She no longer looked as calm and gentle as usual.
Xia Weilan was very satisfied. She got into her car first, and An Shan behind her would naturally handle these people.
Xia Weilan didn't expect An Shan to act so quickly. Just as she was leaving the mall, she saw a police car passing by.
Xia Weilan slowed down. She thought that An Shan must have noticed something was wrong and called the police as soon as she stepped out of the elevator.
Inside the mall, Second Uncle Xia, who was beaming with joy and excited about the crowded store, suddenly saw two policemen walking towards him. They surrounded him on the spot.
"Second Uncle Xia, please come with us."
"What's the matter?" Second Uncle Xia asked nervously.
"You're suspected of kidnapping. Please come with us." The policemen said matter - of - factly.
Second Uncle Xia was taken away by the two policemen just like that. Xia Ruolin in the store looked at the direction they left in surprise. Kidnapping? Who was kidnapped?
Xia Ruolin's eyes rolled. She stood there, not quite sure.
When Xia Weilan returned to the company, it was just noon. The old master had just arrived at the company and was in the chairman's office, praising Xu Liangcai.
"Mr. Xu did a great job this time. The publicity on the Internet was also your work. The company's jewelry sales exceeded 100 million yuan in less than 4 hours after the opening!"
"I just took advantage of the situation." Xu Liangcai said modestly.
"Haha, Mr. Xu is being too modest. Mr. Xu has a double master's degree in finance and management. I'm naturally confident in your ability. Here's a 100,000 - yuan bonus from the company for you."
The old master Xia handed over the check in his hand. Xu Liangcai reached out to take it and said neither overbearingly nor humbly,
"Thank you, Chairman."
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Xia Weilan walked in. Seeing Xu Liangcai in the office, she was a little surprised but quickly walked over.
"Girl, how's the situation in the mall?" The old master Xia asked, even though he already knew the sales volume.
"The mall is packed. The company has sent a lot more people there to handle it. I estimate that this batch of jewelry will be sold out in less than a week. We need to restock."
"Mr. Xu, I'll trouble you to take care of this matter." The old master Xia said to Xu Liangcai approvingly.
Xu Liangcai responded and left.
"Girl, you've worked hard. Have lunch with grandpa today to reward you for your hard work recently." The old master stood up and led Xia Weilan out.
During lunch, the old master received a phone call. Then he threw his phone on the table with an ugly look on his face.
"Grandpa?" Xia Weilan put down her chopsticks and asked.
The old master looked at Xia Weilan with a look of guilt in his eyes.
"Girl, I'm sorry. I didn't expect the second one to do such a thing. He's really a scoundrel!"
Xia Weilan understood and comforted him, "Grandpa, I'm fine. And Beichen sent someone to protect me. I'll be okay. Second Uncle is just getting what he deserves. He'll probably stay in the police station for quite a while."
"Sigh, I owe you. What's the use of the Xia family having money? They're all a bunch of heartless and greedy people." The old master got angry and his tone was a bit heavy.
Xia Weilan immediately patted the old master's back to help him calm down. She couldn't help but worry, afraid that the old master would get angry again.
Fortunately, the old master Xia calmed down quickly.
"Girl, come to the company this afternoon. I'll transfer my shares to you."
The old master Xia was determined. He didn't want to see the greedy faces of the other people in the Xia family anymore. He felt more at ease if he transferred the equity to Xia Weilan earlier.
As for Xia Ruolin, the old master Xia wanted to give her his other assets. The joint - venture real - estate company he had invested in was enough for the Xue Zhiqing family to live on for a lifetime.
As for Second Uncle Xia, of course, he would get nothing. The Xia family had divided the family property 40 years ago. Second Uncle Xia had 20% of the company's shares.
"Grandpa, let's talk about this later. You're still in good health. I still want to learn from you for a few years." Xia Weilan poured water for the old master.
The old master took a few sips of water, but he had already made up his mind. This matter was indeed a bit hasty. He would handle it for a few days, distribute the assets properly, and then make a will.
