Confirmed Conjecture
Before He Xun could speak, a dark-skinned man scratched his head in embarrassment.
“You guys are here to build a school, right? I’m really sorry. My child is too naughty. He has never seen a car like this. He accidentally punctured your car tires!” As the man spoke, he grabbed a five or six-year-old boy and patted him on the head.
“You’re in big trouble for being disobedient. Quickly apologize to her! Do you know how much this car costs?”
The child looked unconcerned. He was still making faces. He didn’t care even if he was beaten. He seemed to be used to it. He didn’t apologize. He just played with the other children.
The dark-skinned man was embarrassed again.
“My children are too rude. They’re all children from the mountains, so they’re all carefree. Please don’t mind them!”
He Xun didn’t say anything. He got out of the RV and looked at the tires. As expected, they were already flat.

Back at the He Group.
He Zui signed the last document and sighed. He then kicked the table in frustration and asked Assistant Yang, who was standing in front of him, “When will your boss return?”
Assistant Yang wanted to cry, but he had no tears left. “President He said he would be gone for two weeks. He should be here soon. Eldest President He, don’t be in a hurry…”
He Zui was even more annoyed. “Stop talking. My head hurts when I hear you talk!”
Assistant Yang was speechless. ‘You were the one who asked me to say it!’
Assistant Yang felt deeply aggrieved! Being a special assistant was not a job for humans! His boss had gone on a honeymoon with his wife. He Xun transferred all the responsibility and pressure to him!
Once President He returned, Assistant Yang’s salary had to be increased! If his salary wasn’t increased, he would…
At the thought of this, Assistant Yang felt so defeated that he wanted to wail because he had no way to threaten He Xun…
There was no such thing as fairness in this world! If He Zui had not sat in front of him, Assistant Yang would have cried like a child weighing more than 150 pounds.
“Who are you trying to show that sad face to?” He Zui was annoyed and easily irritated by anything.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the president’s office.
He Zui, who thought that he could get off work, heard the knock and became even angrier, “It’s already half past four, but there’s still someone knocking on the door? Don’t you all get off work?”
Assistant Yang was speechless. Eldest President He was too casual. He only got off work at six o’clock! However, as an insignificant assistant, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
The knocking stopped for two seconds before it started again.
He Zui slammed the table in frustration and said loudly, “Come in!”
Assistant Yang did not even dare to breathe when he heard the voice that was filled with anger.
The door opened, and a petite girl walked in. When she saw He Zui sitting on the president’s chair, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she blinked and asked in a low voice, “May I ask…if President He is here?”
“I’m just sitting here, aren’t I? What do you want? Which department are you from?” Facing a weak little girl, He Zui made his voice sound less scary, but that was just his own assumption.
Hua Runxin still cowered. She had met He Xun before, but why did he look so different now that he was sitting on the president’s chair? Was it him in person?
“I transferred to the He Group’s Entertainment Department from another company,” she replied in a low voice. “But the head of the department said that I don’t have a file. He said that it might not be approved by the president’s office. He asked me to come here and ask…”
When He Zui heard this, his expression turned even sourer. He looked at Assistant Yang.
“When He Xun was here, was this how the supervisor worked? He would let people head straight to the president’s office to ask about some work files?”
Assistant Yang broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly answered, “Of course not. It’s probably the head of the Entertainment Department who knows that President He isn’t here, so he’s slacking off. I’ll take care of it!”
To put it bluntly, it was also a coincidence that the Entertainment Department had been playing tricks. They did not expect to meet a silly and sweet person like Hua Runxin, who actually came to ask…
He Zui closed his eyes, nodded, and rubbed his head.
“Go back. I’ll get it done for you!”
Hua Runxin walked out and patted her chest in fear. She thought she would be facing He Xun, but that was not the case. Where did Chen Wei’er and He Xun go then?
However, the man sitting inside looked terrifying, and he looked a little like President He…

At Osmanthus Village.
After He Xun saw the deflated tire, his guess was basically confirmed. Everyone in the village seemed to have reached a consensus that they had to scam the outsiders.
He Xun remained silent, but his brain was working quickly. In fact, the matter of the tires was easy to deal with. There were five spare tires in the storage box…
The dark-skinned man laughed and said, “We have a tire mechanic in our village, but he went to the city to buy supplies. He will only be back tomorrow. Please wait for one night. I’ll pay for compensation tomorrow. I’ll definitely get it done for you. Don’t worry.”
