"Hahaha, you still call him the boss? Turns out he's just an idiot!"
As soon as Xiao Douzi finished speaking, Brother Chu and the others burst into laughter.
"Stop laughing, I won't allow you to mock Er Zhu like this!"
Seeing them roaring with laughter, Xiao Douzi frowned slightly and shielded Er Zhu behind him.
Even though Er Zhu was simple-minded, he treated them very well. Xiao Douzi would never allow anyone to mock him like this!
"Get lost! What if we mock this idiot? Who are you trying to fool by sitting here pretending to be someone important!"
The skinny monkey-faced man's face flushed red as he shoved Xiao Douzi. His eyes were filled with anger!
Earlier, Brother Chu had outwardly mocked the idiot, but everyone knew he was actually mocking him!
Mocking him for being blind, for mistaking an idiot for the boss!
The more the skinny monkey-faced man thought about it, the angrier he became, his hand slowly clenching into a fist!
"I'll beat you to death! How dare you push me!"
Xiao Douzi didn't back down either, raising his fist to strike. The skinny monkey-faced man's fist also shot out simultaneously. The situation was on the verge of escalating uncontrollably!
"Enough! Have you forgotten why you're here?"
Er Zhu, who had been silent all along, saw things spiraling out of control. He took a step forward, standing in front of Xiao Douzi.
He hadn't spoken because he didn't know how to explain things to Xiao Douzi, not because he was afraid of them!
"Get lost! This is our business, and you, an idiot, should mind your own. Otherwise, I'll deal with you too!"
The skinny monkey-faced man shouted at Er Zhu, his speed doubling from before. His fist was just about to land on Xiao Douzi's hand!
And Xiao Douzi's hand seemed to be injured, wrapped in thick bandages!
"Scram!"
Er Zhu grabbed the skinny monkey-faced man's fist. With a forceful flick, a groan was heard, and the skinny monkey-faced man's arm was torn off by Er Zhu!
Seeing this, Brother Chu and his companions, who had been laughing heartily, suddenly turned grim. Their eyes glared at Er Zhu with fury.
"Kid, you're courting death!"
Seeing his brother being bullied, Brother Chu was furious. The other renovation crew members also charged forward.
Er Zhu smiled slightly, his gaze incredibly calm. He stomped his foot, and in a flurry of spiral kicks, Brother Chu and the others were all on the ground within moments!
Brother Chu lay on the ground in pain, staring at Er Zhu in shock. He couldn't comprehend what had happened for a long time!
Was this an idiot? What kind of idiot could have such excellent combat skills!
Xiao Douzi beside him was also stunned. His mouth hung open, speechless for a long while.
When did Er Zhu become so powerful? He remembered Er Zhu didn't have this much strength before!
He had only been away from Er Zhu for two or three years, yet Er Zhu had undergone a complete transformation!
"Who exactly are you?"
Brother Chu, enduring the excruciating pain, looked at Er Zhu with extreme vigilance.
"The boss who hired you!"
Er Zhu didn't even glance at Brother Chu. He nodded at Xiao Douzi and then looked at the building.
"Alright, stop this act! The one who hired me is Boss Lin Quan, not you at all!"
Seeing that Er Zhu wasn't telling the truth, Brother Chu's anger intensified. He forced himself to stand up and roared furiously.
"That's right! Although we haven't seen the boss in person, we've heard his voice. You're definitely not him!"
"If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave quickly. That Lin Quan is a notorious figure in the next city, someone you can't afford to offend!"
...
The other renovation crew members also stood up, some smugly and arrogantly issuing threats.
Er Zhu smiled faintly, not looking at them at all, and sat back down.
He had only used Lin Quan's name for convenience in his future work, never expecting to encounter these imbeciles...
"Er Zhu, thank you for helping me just now, but that Lin Quan invested in a Chinese medicine factory in our village. You really can't afford to offend him."
Xiao Douzi's eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something. He quickly ran to Er Zhu's side, speaking as he pushed Er Zhu away.
"Yes, I know about this. Xiao Douzi, I'll handle this."
Er Zhu subtly shook off Xiao Douzi's hand and gave him a reassuring look before looking away.
"Damn it, I'd like to see how you plan to handle this!"
Hearing Er Zhu say that, Brother Chu reached for his phone, intending to make a call. The renovation crew behind him looked at Er Zhu with arrogant expressions, while Xiao Douzi was almost in tears from anxiety.
"Er Zhu, I'm begging you, leave quickly! Boss Lin is very powerful. It's not just you, even Uncle Liu can't afford to offend him!"
Xiao Douzi's brow furrowed deeply. He continued to persuade and drag Er Zhu towards the door.
That Boss Lin was from a prominent family, while Er Zhu was a simple-minded villager. The gap between them was too vast!
Ring ring...
A rapid phone ring echoed. Brother Chu's eyes flickered with surprise upon hearing the sound.
He was calling his boss, so why was this idiot's phone ringing?
Xiao Douzi still wanted to persuade Er Zhu to leave, but at that moment, he accidentally saw the name on Er Zhu's phone screen.
Brother Chu?
Xiao Douzi's eyes widened. He looked at Er Zhu in disbelief, as if he were dreaming!
"Something wrong?"
Er Zhu gave Xiao Douzi a meaningful glance before slowly picking up the phone and speaking.
Boom!
Brother Chu stood frozen, as if struck by lightning, looking at Er Zhu holding the phone in disbelief.
This idiot was actually the boss!
Thinking about everything that had just happened, Brother Chu's expression shifted and changed, a chill running down his spine!
The other renovation crew members also stared at Er Zhu, dumbfounded. Fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads!
An idiot turning into a boss?
This reversal was too rapid!
Especially the skinny monkey-faced man, his face was darker than the bottom of a pot, and his legs trembled uncontrollably from fear!
"I'm sorry, Boss. We shouldn't have mocked you. We are the idiots, the big idiots!"
Ignoring the pain in their bodies, Brother Chu quickly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy while repeatedly slapping himself. The renovation crew members behind him also knelt down, even the skinny monkey-faced man with a broken arm.
It was over. They were completely finished this time!
After finally getting a major project, they had been blind enough to mock the boss!
Feeling the stinging pain on his face, a hint of regret flashed in Brother Chu's angry eyes.
The other crew members regretted it to the core, but what could they do?
Beside Er Zhu, Xiao Douzi kept rubbing his eyes. Even though the reality was right before him, he couldn't believe it!
Was this still the Er Zhu he knew? This was simply unbelievable!
"Er Zhu, that Lin Quan..."
"He's my partner. Because I'm very busy, I planned to let him handle these minor matters."
Xiao Douzi's eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something. He cautiously probed, but before he could finish speaking, Er Zhu, as if seeing through his thoughts, spoke first.
