Upon hearing Xiaobei's plea for mercy, Guo Meiyu's lips curved into a faint smile...

Then she pouted and softly asked, "Why should I give you face? Just now, you didn't give me face!"

As she said this, Guo Meiyu added a little more force...

Realizing negotiation was out of the question, Xiaobei could only pretend to be in pain to soften her heart and achieve his goal...

"This little bastard sure knows how to act!"

Seeing Xiaobei's pitiful grimace, Guo Meiyu's lips curled into a slight arc, and at the same time, she unconsciously eased her grip a bit.

At this moment, all the girls rushed in!

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned...

It took quite a while before anyone could react!

This was actually normal...

Outside earlier, Xiaobei was invincible...

But here, he was directly subdued by Guo Meiyu...

The contrast was really too great...

...

Noticing all the girls were shocked, Xiaobei rubbed his nose...

Seeing Xiaobei's frustrated look, they couldn't help but laugh, and soon, they gave Guo Meiyu a thumbs-up...

They knew that this wasn't because Xiaobei wasn't powerful, but because he liked Guo Meiyu.

Otherwise, there was no way she'd be able to control him.

Seeing all the girls excitedly giving her a thumbs-up, her cheeks turned slightly red.

Quickly, she let go and softly said, "Consider yourself lucky, you little bastard."

Feeling her really let go, Xiaobei sighed in relief!

Rubbing his ear, Xiaobei coughed...

After gaining all the girls' attention, Xiaobei looked at them and spoke slightly hoarsely, "Well, all of us have worked really hard before! I'm planning to give you all a good raise on this month's salary, I wonder... I wonder what you think!"

People with expectations will hold back!

Xiaobei knew this principle, so he wanted to offer them benefits to prevent them from speaking out about what happened earlier, or else his reputation would be ruined...

Upon hearing Xiaobei's slightly awkward offer, they all understood what Xiaobei wanted to express!

In that moment, smiles faintly appeared at the corners of their mouths...

"Master Xiaobei, Manager Guo has treated us very well before, you don't need to raise our salaries!"

"Exactly, Master Xiaobei, we promise we won't say anything about what happened!"

"Yes!"

Hearing them say this, Xiaobei sighed in relief!

Quickly, Xiaobei rubbed his nose and earnestly said, "Since you're so understanding, you deserve a high salary! Like this, I'll definitely discuss it properly with your manager!"

"Great! Then we thank you, Master Xiaobei!"

Upon hearing their response, Guo Meiyu lightly clapped her hands...

"Alright, the excitement is over, everyone get back to what you should be doing!"

"Yes, Manager Guo!"

With a soft laugh, they all quickly dispersed!

Seeing everyone start to get busy again, Guo Meiyu turned her gaze back to Xiaobei.

Soon, she softly said, "Alright, now come with me to the second floor! I have many things to ask you, mister busybody!"

Hearing the emphasis on 'busybody,' Xiaobei knew she was still very angry!

"I should find a helper!"

The instant this thought appeared, Xiaobei quickly turned his head to look around, but soon, he was frustrated because despite looking around, he didn't see Han Xueyao's figure!

"Where is she! When you need her, she's nowhere to be found!"

Muttering a bit frustratedly, Xiaobei quickly followed Guo Meiyu to the second floor...

When Xiaobei and Guo Meiyu disappeared around the staircase corner, the store staff quickly ran back!

Later, they all looked at each other.

At that moment, they saw a hint of amusement in each other's eyes...

"Manager Guo is really impressive!"

"Exactly!"

Earlier, they really admired Guo Meiyu because she had managed everything here flawlessly!

Now, they admired Guo Meiyu even more...

Because Guo Meiyu dared to grab Xiaobei's ear just now...

They knew Guo Meiyu dared to do that because she knew Xiaobei cared about her...

"So envious!"

After saying this, they scattered again!

They knew they couldn't have such good fortune as Guo Meiyu, so naturally, they needed to work hard...

Second floor, inside Guo Meiyu's office!

After closing the door, Guo Meiyu spoke angrily, "Little bastard! Tell me properly, what's the big thing you're so busy with lately that you haven't come here for so long!"

Sensing her anger, Xiaobei coughed and cautiously said, "Well... Sister-in-law, I've been really busy lately. If I had time, I would've come to see you long ago!"

Hearing Xiaobei's explanation, she pouted angrily, "Busy? Busy flirting with girls, right?"

"I... I couldn't possibly be flirting! My aunt can testify to that!"

"Aunt? By the way, why haven't I seen Sister Han? Didn't she come with you earlier?"

"She was downstairs earlier; I don't know where she went now!"

Saying this, Xiaobei stepped forward and said, "Hey, shall we have a good chat now?"

Understanding what Xiaobei meant, she shyly glared at him and said, "You little bastard, what are you trying to do? Let me tell you, someone could come here at any time."

"I..."

Xiaobei rubbed his nose, unsure of what to say.

Seeing Xiaobei's helpless expression, she chuckled and said, "Alright, we'll talk about that later. Now sit down, let's chat about what's happened recently!"

"Alright!"

With a gentle nod, Xiaobei sat next to Guo Meiyu...

In an instant, a whiff of elegant fragrance wafted in...

Inhaling this elegant scent, Xiaobei involuntarily felt a bit excited, and soon, he examined the close by Guo Meiyu!

In that moment, Xiaobei's eyes lit up completely!

Beautiful!

She's truly so beautiful now!

Seeing Xiaobei staring intently at her, Guo Meiyu felt a bit shy but also happy!

Earlier, Xiaobei hadn't come for a long while, which made her anxious, thinking maybe he had a change of heart, but now seeing Xiaobei's enthusiastic expression, she realized she had overthought...

This Xiaobei was the same as before, without any change...

Having clarified this, she lazily brushed her dark long hair and softly asked, "What? Is there a flower on my face?"

Hearing this slightly soft and shy teasing, Xiaobei snapped back and said, "No! It's just that you're getting prettier!"

"Such a sweet talker! Alright, tell me about what's happened in the village recently!"

"Okay!"

Agreeing, Xiaobei recounted recent village happenings, and after finishing, Xiaobei also asked Guo Meiyu about some store matters...

Knowing everything was going smoothly at the store, he smiled...

After smiling, Xiaobei moved a little closer to Guo Meiyu, feeling restless.

Guo Meiyu noticed it, her heart began to race...

But she didn't have any intention of avoiding it...

Seeing this, Xiaobei smiled...

Just as he was about to pull her into his arms, Xiaobei heard footsteps in the lounge...

Turning his head, Xiaobei saw Han Xueyao approaching with a smile...

His mouth twitched, and Xiaobei spoke a bit annoyed, "Aunt... you... what are you doing here!"

At this moment, Xiaobei was truly annoyed!

Earlier, when he needed her to help explain a few things, he couldn't find her...

Now, when he didn't need her, she suddenly appeared...
