Chapter 93

In the office, Su Qing was deeply engrossed in processing documents.

Suddenly, a ringtone sounded.

She picked up the phone on the desk. When she saw the name on the screen, her brows furrowed slightly.

Xu Gang?

Why is he calling?

To show off?

To threaten?

Or to issue an ultimatum?

Su Qing hesitated for a moment, then pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Director Xu, what's up?"

"President Su, are you busy? I hope I'm not disturbing you."

Through the receiver, Xu Gang's voice came through, very friendly!

Su Qing was taken aback, and she glanced at the screen again. Yes, it was Xu Gang's call!

"Director Xu, what do you need?"

"President Su, I'd like to invite you to dinner tonight to discuss the review again. Is that okay?"

"Director Xu, I don't think we have anything left to discuss."

Su Qing refused without hesitation, some principles must not be trampled upon!

Even if it means destroying the company she built with her own hands, she would do it without hesitation!

Besides, she didn't think Xu Gang could destroy the company. She had her own connections, and she would only use them as a last resort!

"President Su, don't misunderstand... I was wrong yesterday, I was blinded... Today, I want to have a sincere talk with you, with the utmost sincerity, and I hope you can give me a chance!"

Seeing Su Qing's refusal, Xu Gang's heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his stance even further.

Su Qing was even more confused. What was wrong with Xu Gang today? Did he take the wrong medicine?

"President Su, you are a magnanimous person, can you give me a chance to apologize? I really recognize my mistake... President Su, if you're not comfortable, you can have Xiao Assistant accompany you..."

Su Qing hesitated for a few seconds, and finally agreed: "Alright, Director Xu, what time and where?"

"Tonight at seven, the usual place, how about that?"

Seeing Su Qing finally agree, Xu Gang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay!"

"Alright, I won't disturb you further, President Su. We'll talk more when we meet tonight. Goodbye!"

Su Qing slowly put down the phone, frowning. What was Xu Gang up to? He threatened to take down the company yesterday, but today he was so humble?

Could it be... someone put pressure on him?

Or did he find out her identity?

No, she had already left the Su family, and very few people knew her true identity!

After thinking for a long time, Su Qing still couldn't figure it out. However, if she could improve her relationship with Xu Gang and get the product reviewed, that would be the best outcome!

Thinking about it, she picked up her phone and called Xiao Chen.

No matter what tricks Xu Gang had up his sleeve or what schemes he had, having Xiao Chen accompany her would give her peace of mind!

"Hello, Xiao Chen, are you in the office?"

The call connected, and Su Qing asked.

"No, I'm out on some business, what's up, President Su?"

Xiao Chen held the phone, looking at Han Yifei, who was limping in front of him.

"Oh, Xu Gang just called me."

"Hmm? What did he say?"

Xiao Chen asked casually, but he already had a good idea of what Xu Gang's call was about!

Su Qing briefly explained and then asked, "Do you think there's some kind of scheme behind this?"

"Scheme?" Xiao Chen's lips curled. "No matter what scheme he has, with me here, what do you have to fear?"

"Hehe, that's what I thought..."

Su Qing regretted saying that, it sounded so ambiguous.

Xiao Chen didn't seem to notice, and smiled. "Alright, let's not talk about it. I'll be back after I finish my meal."

"Oh."

Xiao Chen hung up the phone and caught up to Han Yifei. "Beautiful Han, if you don't lend me money, how can I treat you to a meal?"

"Cut the crap, are you treating me or not?" Han Yifei asked coldly.

"Alright, alright, I'll treat you. I'll take you to a free meal, okay?"

Xiao Chen shook his head, he really didn't understand this woman!

"Alright, if you don't have money in your pocket and can still treat me to lunch, I'll let you off today..."

"Ah? Today? So you mean you'll keep targeting me tomorrow?"

"What do you think?"

Han Yifei looked at Xiao Chen coldly, her butt was still sore and numb!

"..."

Xiao Chen was helpless. Fine, today is today, let's get through it first!

Maybe the world will end tomorrow, if he can get through today, that's not bad!

The two of them came to a nearby luxurious seafood restaurant and booked a private room.

Han Yifei then ordered several signature seafood dishes, all priced in the thousands!

As she ordered, she glanced at Xiao Chen out of the corner of her eye, wanting to see his pained expression.

But to her frustration, he didn't show any signs of pain, and even flirted with the waitresses in qipao!

"Alright, that's it!"

Not achieving her goal, Han Yifei didn't bother to order more. She wanted to see how he would handle it when he couldn't pay the bill!

"Okay." The waitress nodded with a smile, then noticed Han Yifei's seating posture and asked, "Miss, is the chair uncomfortable?"

"..."

What could Han Yifei say? That her butt was hit very hard?

"Never mind her, she has hemorrhoids..."

Xiao Chen said from the side.

"..."

The waitress was speechless, smiled awkwardly, and quickly left.

After the waitress left, Han Yifei exploded, standing up and slamming the table. "What did you say?"

"Cough, nothing, come, don't get upset, have some tea!"

Xiao Chen poured a cup of tea for Han Yifei. This girl was even more difficult to deal with than Su Xiaomeng!

Han Yifei took a few deep breaths, feeling like she was about to explode!

In the past, whenever someone provoked her, she would usually solve it with violence, but she couldn't beat Xiao Chen, so she had to endure it for now!

"Ouch..."

Han Yifei glared at Xiao Chen for a long time, then sat down, but quickly stood up again, wincing in pain.

"Pfft!"

Xiao Chen had just taken a sip of tea, and seeing Han Yifei's reaction, he spat it out.

"You..."

Han Yifei clenched her fists, if it weren't for him, she wouldn't be in such a sorry state!

"Cough, sorry, the tea was too hot, I burned my mouth..."

Xiao Chen wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes kept glancing at Han Yifei's butt, wondering what it looked like now? Was it full of handprints?

Sigh, a white, smooth butt, covered in red handprints, it was indeed a cruel sight...

Han Yifei ignored him, slowly sat down, and when her butt touched the chair, she couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

"Captain Han, seeing you in such pain, I feel deeply guilty... No matter what, I shouldn't have hit your butt..."

Xiao Chen's voice was low and sincere.

Hearing this, Han Yifei felt a bit better, but Xiao Chen's next words almost made her explode again!

"To show my apology, I can help you rub it, how about that? It will be effective in five minutes, I promise you won't feel pain anymore..."

"..."

Han Yifei glared at Xiao Chen, her eyes full of killing intent.

Sensing Han Yifei's icy killing intent, Xiao Chen was taken aback and then laughed bitterly. Fine, he forgot it was such a sensitive area. He meant well, but it sounded like he was being a pervert!

"Say that again!"

"Umm, whether you believe it or not, my intentions are pure..."

Xiao Chen laughed bitterly, he must look like a complete scoundrel to this girl!

Fortunately, at that moment, the waitress came in and started serving the dishes.

"Captain Han, let's eat first..."

Han Yifei took a deep breath, she couldn't keep being angry with this guy, or she might really die of anger!

"Come, have some beer." Xiao Chen poured a beer for Han Yifei. "Here, I'll drink first, as an apology..."

After a few rounds of drinks, Han Yifei's mood calmed down a bit.

"Captain Han, I have a question, can I ask?"

Xiao Chen threw away a crab leg and looked at Han Yifei.

"Ask."

"Are you an early-stage Dark Force expert?"

Han Yifei didn't speak, but nodded.

"That day in the cemetery, if you had acted, those four bandits wouldn't have escaped... Why didn't you act?"

This was something Xiao Chen had been wondering about since earlier.

"Is early-stage Dark Force invulnerable to blades and bullets?"

Han Yifei peeled a shrimp and put it in her mouth.

"..."

"I can't easily use my internal force, usually I can only maintain the combat power of a 'top-tier' expert... Later, when I went alone, I also had the intention of dealing with those four and rescuing you..."

Han Yifei explained vaguely.

Xiao Chen's heart stirred. Can't easily use internal force? Could it be that this girl has some hidden ailment?

However, he didn't ask further, their relationship wasn't that close yet!

"Are you also a Dark Force expert? Early-stage peak?"

Han Yifei looked at Xiao Chen. She still couldn't understand how he managed to make her fall powerless on the stage.

"No, I don't even qualify as an ancient martial arts practitioner."

Xiao Chen shook his head, a look of melancholy in his eyes.

"Not? Then how did you..."

Han Yifei was extremely surprised, how was this possible!

"It's just a small trick, hehe, let's not talk about it."

Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, but then raised a glass of wine and drank it in one go.

Seeing him like this, Han Yifei didn't ask further, nodded, and continued eating.

Half an hour later, the two of them were almost done, and the table was a mess.

"I'm full."

Han Yifei put down her chopsticks and looked at Xiao Chen, meaning he should figure out how to pay the bill!

"Captain Han, you really won't lend me money?"

"No." Han Yifei shook her head. "And you're not allowed to call anyone else to bring money."

"..."

Xiao Chen rolled his eyes, this girl was clearly trying to make things difficult for him!

But who is Brother Chen? He wouldn't be troubled by such a small matter!

"Alright, today I'll show you my skills!"

Xiao Chen said, pressed the button under the table, and soon a waitress came.

"Sir, do you need anything else?"

"Go, call the boss over!"

"The boss?" The waitress was taken aback, then nodded. "Okay, please wait."

After the waitress left, Han Yifei looked at Xiao Chen, slightly mocking. "You're not planning to play some trick like finding a fly in the food, are you? If you do, I'll really look down on you!"

"Ha, that's something a small thug would do, I'm above that!"

Soon, a middle-aged man with a potbelly came in. "Sir and Madam, I'm the boss here. What can I do for you?"
