#level 34

Level 34 today.

Level 34: “You work for me.”

Yu Banshan, Hao Mei, & Qiu Younghou sat on the couch in Xiao Nai’s office.  From his overall attitude, the knew something had upset him.  It was very rare, but an angry Xiao Nai was not to be trifled with.  They attention went to the door, the moment Bei Weiwei charged in.  She glared at her husband with the same ferocity he had.  Even after sixteen years of marriage, this was the first public dispute their friends have ever seen between them.  Turning her gaze to them, they all shrank back into their spots.  

 “Leave.”  Something in her voice alerted that she wasn’t up for negotiations this morning.  Standing to leave, Xiao Nai looked only at her.  

 “Stay.”  His hands leaving his keyboard.  Looking between the two, it wasn’t until his gaze fell on them, that they sat back down.

 “Leave.”  Standing up again, they knew they better leave soon, but all three found themselves stuck between a tug of war, and they were the rope.  

 “You work for me.  So I say stay.”  Turning to them with a wicked smile, she crossed her arms. 

 “I do payroll.  You leave.”  Without another word spoken, Yu banshan grabs his clipboard running out of the room.  Qiu Younghou and Hao Mei follow quickly behind him.  The door is shut tightly with a loud thud, causing people to look at them.  They give a weird laugh, the blinds going closed, a lock keeping them from entering any further.  

 “I don’t think I’ve ever seen them fight before.”  Qiu Younghou went to sit at his desk, his eyes on the office.  K.O. walked over, giving a report to Hao Mei.  

 “Cong Cong wants to go to a larger school for his senior secondary, instead of one of the elite ones.  They have been fighting about it since last night.”  K.O. leaned against the railing.  “Weiwei wants whatever Cong Cong wants, while Xiao Nai wants him to have the headstart they didn’t have.”  

 “Why does he want to do that?”  Hao Mei looked at his partner.  “And why is Cong Cong going to you with all his problems?  I’m the uncle!”

 “Ming Yue came to me.  He’s never seen his parents this against one another before.  But from what I can tell Weiwei is determined to win this time.”  

 “If anyone can defeat third Brother, it would be third-sister-law.”  Yu Banshan pat Qiu Younghou on the shoulder before heading to his office.  Everyone in the office thinking, that they hope it soon ends.
