Chapter 240 Duel
"I missed you, so I came to see you." I walked to her and gently put my arm around her shoulders.
Ran Qiuye did not reject my intimacy. Instead, she leaned her head gently on my chest.
We hugged each other quietly for a while, no one spoke, and the air was filled with a sweet smell.
"How are you doing lately?" I asked softly.
"I'm fine, just a little tired." Ran Qiuye's voice sounded a little tired.
"Take a break if you're tired and don't push yourself too hard." I said with concern.
"I know, but I don't want to disappoint my students." Ran Qiuye raised his head and looked at me, his eyes full of determination.
I looked at her with a heart full of love and compassion. This woman was always so kind, so serious, and so touching.
"By the way, I met Xu Damao today." I suddenly remembered this.
Ran Qiuye's expression changed slightly. "He...he is bothering you again?"
"No, I just happened to meet you." I didn't want to make her worry, so I said it lightly.
"Chu Tian, you must be careful of him. He is that kind of person..." Ran Qiuye hesitated to speak.
"I know, I will pay attention." I comforted her.
Actually, Xu Damao has been acting a little abnormal recently. After he divorced Lou Xiaoe, he married Qin Jingru. Logically, he should have lived a law-abiding life. But he was restless and started to harass Ran Qiuye again.
That day, I was going home from get off work and passed by Ran Qiuye's school. I happened to see Xu Damao blocking the door, holding a bouquet of roses and a lewd smile on his face. "Teacher Ran, are you off work? Let me take you home."
Ran Qiuye avoided him with disgust. "Xu Damao, please respect yourself!"
"Teacher Ran, don't be so heartless. Give me a chance..." Xu Damao kept pestering her.
I was furious when I saw this. I rushed over, grabbed Xu Damao by the collar, and threw him to the ground. "If you dare to harass Teacher Ran again, I'll kill you!"
Xu Damao got up in a panic, pointed at me and cursed, "Chu Tian, mind your own business! It's not your turn to interfere in what's going on between me and Teacher Ran!"
"Teacher Ran is my woman, just try to touch her!" I roared.
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a clear voice behind me. "Chu Tian, what are you doing?"
I turned around and saw Li Li standing not far away, looking at me in surprise.
Li Li's appearance made my heart skip a beat. I quickly let go of Xu Damao and smiled awkwardly. "Li Li, why are you here?"
She came over and looked me up and down with a puzzled look in her eyes. "I was passing by here and saw you fighting with someone, so I came over to take a look."
Xu Damao got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and said sarcastically, "Hey, isn't this Boss Li? Why, are you feeling sorry for your lover?"
Li Li glanced at him coldly. "Xu Damao, watch your mouth!"
"What, did I say something wrong? Everyone knows that you and Chu Tian are flirting with each other?" Xu Damao continued to provoke.
I cursed Xu Damao in my heart for being such a jerk. I was about to explain, but Li Li spoke up first: "Xu Damao, it's none of your business what the relationship between Chu Tian and I is! If you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Li Li's aura was very strong. Xu Damao was frightened by her and dared not to speak anymore. He walked away dejectedly.
"Li Li, don't get me wrong, he and I..." I tried to explain.
Li Li interrupted me. "No need to explain, I understand." She paused and said, "But you should have less contact with him in the future, he is not an ordinary person."
I nodded, but I felt helpless. I knew Li Li was doing this for my own good, but how could I explain this to Ran Qiuye?
"By the way, why are you here?" I changed the subject.
"I have something to talk to you about." Li Li said, "Let's find a place to talk."
I took Li Li to a cafe and ordered two cups of coffee.
"What's the matter? Tell me." I said.
Li Li hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes." Li Li nodded, "I'm preparing a project recently and I need your help."
I looked at Li Li, feeling somewhat puzzled. Why did she want to cooperate with me? With her ability, she could have completed this project independently.
"What project?" I asked.
"I want to open a high-end restaurant on Huanghe Road," said Li Li.
It dawned on me. No wonder she came to see me, I was indeed very familiar with Huanghe Road and had some connections there.
"How do you want me to help you?" I asked.
"I want you to help me contact some suppliers, and..." Li Li paused and said, "I want you to help me deal with Miss Wang."
I was shocked. Miss Wang? Why did she want to target Miss Wang?
"Why?" I asked.
"Ms. Wang is my competitor," Li Li said. "She also opened a restaurant on Huanghe Road, and her business is very good. I want to squeeze her out."
I was silent. I didn't expect Li Li to be so direct.
"Chu Tian, I know you have a good relationship with Miss Wang, but I hope you can stand on my side." Li Li said, "As long as you help me, I promise not to treat you unfairly."
I was in a dilemma. On one side was Li Li, and on the other was Miss Wang. What should I do?
Just when I was hesitating, my cell phone rang. It was Xu Damao calling.
"Hello, Xu Damao, what's the matter?" I answered the phone.
"Chu Tian, are you free after get off work? Let's go play basketball." Xu Damao said.
I was stunned. Playing basketball? What was this guy up to?
"Why did you suddenly think of playing basketball?" I asked.
"Nothing, I just want to stretch my muscles." Xu Damao said, "How about it, do you dare to come?"
I heard the provocation in his tone and sneered in my heart. This guy must be trying to take this opportunity to intimidate me.
"Okay, no problem." I agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, I said to Li Li: "I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Li Li nodded and didn't say much.
I left the cafe, thinking about Xu Damao's challenge. This guy really doesn't know how to live or die. With my basketball skills, he is no match for me.
After get off work, I went to the basketball court of the steel mill. Xu Damao was already waiting for me there.
"Hey, Chu Tian, you're here." Xu Damao said sarcastically.
I didn't bother to pay attention to him and walked straight to the basketball hoop and started warming up.
"Stop warming up, let's get started." Xu Damao said impatiently.
I smiled and said, "Okay, let's get started."
