Chapter 520: Chapter 520

Han Lei’s grievance was finally thoroughly resolved.

Although that Mrs. Wang never apologized in the end, he felt very satisfied watching her run away in shame.

After the three customers left...

The store closed for the night.

Even though there was hardly any business tonight, the manager didn’t blame any of the staff. She even apologized to Han Lei for her earlier forceful comments.

The old staff members returned to the employee dormitories upstairs, and the manager rode away on her little electric scooter.

At this moment, a group of people stood outside the store downstairs.

Pu Sangzhi, Ye Qingcao, and Han Lei, the trio working part-time.

Huo Feng and his mother, a duo.

Han Feiyi and her mother, another duo.

Three peculiar combinations stood together, sparking some odd interactions. It seemed there was also an odd relationship between them.

It was only then that Huo Feng learned that this male employee was named Han Lei and was Han Feiyi’s younger brother! He was far from being just a poor boy with great aspirations!

However, precisely because Han Lei was Han Feiyi’s real brother, Huo Feng felt even more regretful!

He was incredibly regretful that he hadn’t investigated whether there were male employees in the store! That he hadn’t come by every day to check whether Pu Sangzhi and Han Feiyi’s brother had sparked any particular connection!

Han Feiyi’s brother...

The son of the Longxiang School’s principal...

His family background was not of low stature at all!

Huo Feng considered himself to be merely the son of the Longxiang’s dean of discipline!

In the next two years, he was still a third-generation official, but after two years, once his grandfather retired, he wouldn’t even have that status.

His maternal grandfather, a village official, didn’t have the influence that his paternal grandfather had. Huo Feng genuinely felt inferior and saw his own standing decreasing by the day!

All because old Huo was too weak!

At his age, merely a lowly dean of discipline, with no status or wealth!

He couldn’t make himself a second-generation official or a rich second-generation...

Look at Han Lei over there...

His father is a principal! Surely there’s some political background there! Fınd the newest release on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

Huo Feng instantly felt inferior, and of course, regretful! He regretted not keeping a closer eye on Pu Sangzhi and for underestimating the job of a sales associate at the Metersbonwe Store!

At this moment, although the two families should have dispersed, Han Lei had something to say to Pu Sangzhi, so they spoke for a while at the store entrance.

He thanked Pu Sangzhi for his help today, preserving his dignity...

After expressing his gratitude, he added, "I owe you one. Make sure to remember it, and if you ever need help with anything, you can come to me, no matter how much time has passed. Because of what you did for me today, I’ll remember it for a lifetime."

Even though Han Lei said this with an expressionless face, to Huo Feng, it sounded remarkably suggestive!

Huo Feng felt as if the Burn Silence Death Aura was about to emanate from his face!

Just then, Han Lei’s mother Zhao Xiuqin was very pleased with Pu Sangzhi, smiling kindly at him, "Child, I’ve heard from Xiaolei how outstanding you are. I learned that you also study at Longxiang and you have particularly good grades. It’s truly serendipitous. Xiaolei will be attending Longxiang next semester, so if you need any help, make sure to reach out to him, and don’t be polite!"

There they are, another mother and son pair who are very pleased with Pu Sangzhi...

Looking at his mother’s expression and her words, looking at Han Lei’s expression and his words...

It made Huo Feng and his mother standing behind Pu Sangzhi feel quite displeased!

Weren’t they just blatantly trying to snatch their Huo Family’s future daughter-in-law!

At this moment, Shen Yu’s face might just be manifesting the Burn Silence Death Aura...

Pu Sangzhi awkwardly replied to the mother and son, "Auntie, Han Lei, you really don’t have to be so polite. I didn’t really do much today. I simply couldn’t overlook what was happening. I would’ve done the same if it had been anyone other than Han Lei."

"It’s precisely because of that why auntie thinks you’re excellent!"

Zhao Xiuqin was very satisfied with Pu Sangzhi, truly very satisfied!

On the way back earlier, she had inquired Han Lei about Pu Sangzhi for quite a while. When she heard from Han Lei that Pu Sangzhi was a Longxiang student, her heart blossomed with joy!

Even though Han Feiyi had been whispering ill about Pu Sangzhi in her ear on the way back,

All of Han Feiyi’s negative remarks were rebutted by Han Lei, which made Zhao Xiuqin believe that Han Feiyi was jealous of Pu Sangzhi’s beauty and intelligence!

Moreover, Zhang Xiuqin had inadvertently learned from Han Feiyi’s own words that Pu Sangzhi’s middle school exam scores were the best in the city.

Zhao Xiuqin had known about such a student since last year...

Because when school started in September last year, her husband Han Guobang often mentioned that Longxiang School finally had a promising student! The kind who could get into Tsinghua in the future!

Now, Zhao Xiuqin truly felt it was all fate! A destiny ordained by heaven!

She couldn’t believe that her son happened to meet Pu Sangzhi, such an outstanding student, at the small Metersbonwe Store!

Zhao Xiuqin had to admit that she had already privately indulged in a series of fantasies...

She truly hoped that this fate would continue and, who knows, perhaps the heavens would look favorably upon them and bring the two children together!

"Child, our Xiaolei is usually quite reserved. If there’s anything undesirable about his temperament or personality, please be patient with him. However, he’s genuine at heart and an absolutely good, kind-hearted kid! Since you’re both working in this store, I’ll trouble you to teach him more. And, if there’s any physical labor or heavy work, feel free to ask him to do it, he’ll be willing."

After finishing this friendly overture, Zhao Xiuqin added, as if divinely inspired, "By the way, have the two of you added each other on WeChat?"

Of course, that had not happened...

So, taking advantage of Zhao Xiuqin’s question, Han Lei took out his phone and said to Pu Sangzhi, "Let’s add each other on WeChat, though you’re about to leave... I’d like to be friends with you."

Han Lei had always been somewhat inarticulate.

Therefore, when he suddenly expressed his desire to be friends, Pu Sangzhi was taken aback!

Fearing she would refuse, Han Lei also asked Ye Qingcao, "Ye Qingcao, let’s add each other on WeChat."

"What? You just remembered me?"

Ye Qingcao, being straightforward and carefree, completely unaware of the strange atmosphere here, joyfully ran over with her phone in hand, "I thought you had forgotten about me, stinky Han Lei!"

Han Lei’s lips quietly curled into a small smile and said, "I don’t know if it’s too late, since you’re about to leave."

Ye Qingcao opened her QR code and said, "Not late at all! One can never have too many friends, and with many friends, one can travel everywhere!"

At this point, Ye Qingcao and Han Lei had added each other on WeChat.

Then Han Lei wanted to add Pu Sangzhi on WeChat too. Pu Sangzhi was thinking of an excuse to refuse, but Xiaocao had agreed so readily that if she still refused, it would seem like she was looking down on Han Lei...

So, Pu Sangzhi had no choice but to take out her phone and add Han Lei on WeChat.

Seeing the three of them adding each other on WeChat, Zhao Xiuqin laughed joyously, saying, "Good, good, this is very good. I really thank you for helping Xiaolei today. Some evening, I’ll treat you to supper."

Zhao Xiuqin really wanted to invite them to supper tonight, hoping to seize the moment and win Pu Sangzhi over quickly.

But she knew well that Pu Sangzhi and her mother were waiting behind her, and today she was too late...

"Alright then, see you tomorrow."

After adding each other on WeChat, Han Lei couldn’t help but look up at Pu Sangzhi again, "Thank you for today, and thanks to Ye Qingcao."

Pu Sangzhi’s gaze met his. Usually, whenever their eyes met, Han Lei would quickly look away, as if he disdained her.

But today, he stared at her intently, his dark pupils holding her gaze tightly, as if not only did he not disdain her, he wasn’t even avoiding her anymore

In any case, it was Pu Sangzhi who looked away first, "Goodbye."

At this very moment, Huo Feng, standing not far behind Pu Sangzhi, was intently watching the mother and son, watching intently...

With eyes like fiery beacons, he had already spotted the mother and son’s interest in Pu Sangzhi!

With a girl as outstanding as Pu Sangzhi, if she were let loose in society, someone would surely try to take her away!

He had to hold on tightly!

Meanwhile, Han Feiyi, standing beside Han Lei, was rolling her eyes over everyone present...

Han Feiyi observed Han Lei’s expression, Pu Sangzhi’s expression, and finally looked at the expression on Huo Feng’s face.

Han Feiyi felt hopeful once again...

Because, her brother had actually fallen for Pu Sangzhi!

Could there be such a coincidence in the world?

Her brother liked Pu Sangzhi.

If Huo Feng and Pu Sangzhi would just follow her and her brother, Han Feiyi might not dislike Pu Sangzhi so much in the future.

Of course, for now, she still disliked her, and very much so!
