Chapter 2873 - 2876: Unexpected Incident

"Auntie!"

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I’m here for Qiu’er!"

"Qiu’er is in the study, just go straight in!"

Huang Ruiyi said with a smile.

That faint smile made Jiang Feng shiver all over.

He felt a wave of heat rise up from his dantian.

He almost lost his composure.

"And this is?"

Jiang Feng couldn’t help asking.

"Qiu’er’s mother!"

Xiao Chen said casually.

What!

Jiang Feng was even more shocked. Even Huang Qiu’er’s mother treated Xiao Chen this well, this familiarly.

What kind of blessing did this Xiao Chen cultivate.

So damn lucky.

Xiao Chen couldn’t be bothered with him and led them to Huang Qiu’er’s study.

Huang Qiu’er was wearing casual hanfu.

Standing there doing calligraphy.

She really had that kind of Sect Leader aura now, drier and more imposing than before.

A faint smell of ink permeated the air.

It made people’s mood relax in an instant.

When Huang Qiu’er saw Xiao Chen, she hurriedly put down the brush in her hand, as if she’d instantly changed from a domineering CEO into the girl next door.

She ran toward Xiao Chen, laughing.

And hooked her arm through Xiao Chen’s.

"Brother Xiao Chen, you’re here. Why didn’t you say something so I could change my clothes!"

Huang Qiu’er said with a smile.

"Here, these two are here to talk a bit of business with you!"

Xiao Chen pointed at Jiang Feng and Jiang Lin and said.

Huang Qiu’er’s expression clearly dimmed a little.

But she still held onto Xiao Chen’s arm and sat down.

Then she poured Xiao Chen some tea.

She completely ignored Jiang Feng and Jiang Lin.

The two of them were directly stunned.

What the hell is this?

Huang Qiu’er’s relationship with Xiao Chen was actually this good?

They knew perfectly well that Huang Qiu’er and Xiao Chen definitely weren’t blood siblings.

"Sit down."

When she looked at Jiang Feng and Jiang Lin, Huang Qiu’er’s face went cold again.

The two of them sat down awkwardly.

Not even a cup of tea.

Jiang Feng could still accept it.

He was here for business anyway.

As long as the deal was made, it didn’t matter whether he drank tea or not.

But Jiang Lin was a bit upset.

He looked at Xiao Chen’s tea and was just about to take it.

Only to be met with Huang Qiu’er’s cold snort: "That’s for Brother Xiao Chen. Don’t touch it!"

Jiang Lin was extremely embarrassed.

He could only awkwardly pull his hand back.

Looking at Xiao Chen, he was honestly jealous to the point of madness.

Next came the business-talk phase.

Xiao Chen drank tea while looking out the window at the scenery.

He didn’t take part at all.

Huang Qiu’er really was much more formidable than before.

In the course of the conversation, she actually pressed Jiang Feng so hard he could barely breathe.

You had to know, Jiang Feng counted as a corporate elite.

And before coming, he’d made all the necessary preparations.

Yet in the end, Huang Qiu’er steered the direction of the talk with just two or three sentences.

"Alright then, since Brother Xiao Chen brought you.

I’ll have our company cooperate with you on this project.

As for what happened at Best Garden last time, I can let bygones be bygones.

But this price of yours won’t do.

You have to cut five percentage points."

Huang Qiu’er said blandly.

Jiang Feng looked a little troubled and wanted to speak.

Huang Qiu’er waved her hand: "No need to say anything.

I know what you want to say.

But as a person, it’s better to be a bit more down-to-earth.

I’ve already talked with your chairman.

His maximum demand doesn’t exceed fifty percent.

And you actually dared to ask me for fifty-five?

If it weren’t for Brother Xiao Chen’s sake,

I wouldn’t even bother talking to you.

So what if you drop five percentage points?

You’ll still earn plenty.

It’s better not to be too greedy.

There will be more opportunities to cooperate in the future!"

Jiang Feng was extremely embarrassed.

He’d thought Huang Qiu’er was just a kid, easy to bully and easy to fool.

So he’d specially added five percentage points.

Then he’d report to the company according to fifty percent.

That way the extra five percent profit would go straight into his pocket.

But he hadn’t expected Huang Qiu’er to have already cleared things with their chairman.

This was basically lifting a rock to smash his own foot.

If not for her giving Xiao Chen face, he would have blown the deal.

Truly stupid!

Thinking of this, sweat instantly streamed down his forehead.

He’d thought this Sect Leader Qiu’er was just for show, a puppet.

Looking at it now, that was absolutely not the case.

This woman really was capable.

"Many thanks, Sect Leader Huang."

Jiang Feng took a deep breath and hurriedly stood up as he spoke.

"Alright, we’re done talking, let’s sign the contract!"

Huang Qiu’er didn’t waste words at all.

The two sides quickly signed the contract.

Jiang Feng finally let out a long breath.

This deal he’d failed to close in a whole month, Xiao Chen closed as soon as he showed up.

This Xiao Chen was actually somewhat useful.

With this contract finalized, it meant he’d officially passed his probation.

And become the true President of the Dragon Country Area.

Plus his salary would go up by ten percent.

And there would be bonuses.

He’d finally cleared this big hurdle.

"Sect Leader Huang, to celebrate our pleasant cooperation this time,

I’d like to treat you and your mother to a meal. I wonder if the two of you have time?"

Jiang Feng said with a smile.

The main purpose was to create an opportunity for himself.

If he could take down Huang Qiu’er’s mother,

wouldn’t the entire Qinghuang Sect be his?

"Forget the meal, I don’t like eating with strange men.

Also, you two step out for now.

I have something to discuss with my brother."

Huang Qiu’er waved her hand as she spoke.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Lin were extremely disappointed.

Jiang Lin couldn’t help saying, "You can tell us what it is. Maybe we can help."

"What help can you give? This is a private matter between me and my brother.

See them out!"

Huang Qiu’er waved her hand.

Someone immediately stepped in front of the two of them.

Jiang Feng and Jiang Lin had no choice but to leave.

Jiang Lin’s gaze was practically jealous enough to eat Xiao Chen alive.

Once the two left, Xiao Chen glanced at Huang Qiu’er and said, "You little girl, when did you learn to deliberately create ambiguity like that!"

"Hee-hee, don’t think I didn’t notice. That kid Jiang Lin clearly had his eye on me.

If I want him to give up, I can only use you, brother.

Don’t worry, I have zero interest in ruining your marriage.

Sister Jiang Meng and I have a great relationship.

I kept you behind because I really have something to talk about!"

Huang Qiu’er said.

"What is it?"

Seeing Huang Qiu’er’s expression suddenly turn serious,

Xiao Chen also became solemn.

"It seems someone’s targeting our Qinghuang Sect!"

As Huang Qiu’er spoke, she projected a video onto the study’s curtain.

In the video was a martial artist wearing Qinghuang Sect clothes.

The martial artist was guarding a warehouse.

Suddenly, it was as if he saw something terrifying.

His mouth fell wide open.

The next moment, he collapsed to the ground, his whole body convulsing.

He looked to be in extreme pain.

And he was strangling his own neck.

"When did this happen, and where is this guy now?"

Xiao Chen suddenly asked.

"It happened just last night.

We’ve temporarily placed him in a secret location, with dedicated guards."

Huang Qiu’er said.

"You did well. This guy probably got hit with sorcery.

Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll go back and prepare some things, we’ll meet up in an hour, and go take a look together!"

Xiao Chen thought for a moment and said.
