“If Sis Xiaowan thinks that using the Skin Care Lotion is great for your skin, I’ll send you some later,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

Chen Xiaowan nearly jumped up from the chair as she stared at Tang Xiu in surprise. She suddenly felt like she was dreaming. Prior to this, she thought that meeting Tang Xiu again would be an impossibility in this lifetime, thus it was unexpected that some dark hands pulled the strings, creating such a rendezvous for both of them.

In the past, Tang Xiu’s life was very bitter. She liked him because he was sensible and adorable, hence she treated him like her younger brother. It was very unexpected that he had already turned over the sky and earth in just four-plus years since the last time she saw him. The Magnificent Tang Corporation was akin to a dark horse with unstoppable momentum in the business world nowadays.

“Are you not lying to me, Tang Xiu?” Asked Chen Xiaowan with a trembling voice.

Shrugging his shoulders, Tang Xiu lightly smiled and said, “Do you think I’m the kind of person who loves bragging, Sis Xiaowan?”

With a hesitant look, Chen Xiaowan shook her head and said, “No, you’re not. But… but it’s too shocking. How did you achieve it?”

“I just seriously put my mind to it,” said Tang Xiu with a chuckle.

Chen Xiaowan snappily rolled her eyes and said with an annoyed expression, “I originally thought that I was very successful, since not only was I able to go to Shanghai, graduated from my university, entered a foreign-investment company and was able to climb up the ladder to the upper management, earning myself a good income and a very comfortable life. But comparing those achievements of mine with yours is simply ridiculous!”

Tang Xiu couldn’t help laughing, “Then just don’t compare. To think yourself successful is alright in and of itself. Just like those children who were born with a golden spoon in their mouths, as they already possess hundreds of millions of fortunes the split second they were born on Earth.”

Chen Xiaowan felt relieved and smilingly said, “What you said is reasonable indeed, but I’m still really shocked by your achievements. Anyways, let the meal today be on me, okay? You can treat me back some other day.”

Tang Xiu forced a smile and said, “Do you think you can treat me today, Sis Xiaowan?”

“Huh?” Chen Xiaowan stared blankly, before recalling that the owner of this Everlasting Feast Hall was Tang Xiu himself. Even if she were to rush to pay the bill, the cashier would probably not dare to accept her money at all!

“Fine then! The meal will be on you today, and I’ll treat you back some other day.” Chen Xiaowan showed a defeated expression. She didn’t have other ideas at all because of Tang Xiu’s identity, because Tang Xiu was still the intelligent and adorable little brother who called her ‘big sis’ in her eyes, even though the boy himself had already grown up now.

“Anyhow, you said that you’re working in a Japanese Company, Sis Xiaowan. What’s the name of the company and its business?”

“It’s the Brisk Trading Group, a retail company,” said Chen Xiaowan smilingly.

After noting the company name in his memory, Tang Xiu then accompanied Chen Xiaowan, finished their dinner, and personally drove her back to her residence in the Bishan Lake Sub-District of Shanghai’s Jingning County. Chen Xiaowan originally wanted to invite Tang Xiu upstairs, but Tang Xiu found an excuse to refuse it. Right after he drove away from Bishan Lake Sub-District, he received a call from a member of the Everlasting Feast Hall, who informed him what happened in Shanghai Hospital.

“You’re saying that… Feng Kang is being suspended and investigated by the Public Security Bureau?” Asked Tang Xiu through the Bluetooth earphone.

“That’s right. What he did was too excessive and seriously affected the reputation of the Public Security system as a whole. Hence, he was suspended by the higher-ups and a team from the Internal Affairs has already started investigated him.” A low and deep voice replied.

“I see!”

Tang Xiu hung up the call with a wry smile on his face. Speaking about it, this Feng Kang could be considered a true man with misfortune and bad luck. He had firmly secured a high position in the Public Security Bureau—someone with real power, yet his fat and ugly wife went out of track to cheat him behind his back. Him being cheated was needless to say, but he unexpectedly lost his sanity out of anger, leading him to castrate Yue Zigang in the hospital’s operating room.

After giving it a thought for a while, Tang Xiu then called his grandfather.

“Haha, how come you remember to call me, Xiu’er? Your Third Grandpa and I were just talking about you.” Tang Guosheng’s hearty laughter came out from the phone.

“You’re in a great mood now that our family has passed through the crisis and the Yao Family have fallen aren’t you, Grandpa?” Replied Tang Xiu with a chuckle.

“Yeah, I indeed feel great!” Said Tang Guosheng with a chuckle.

“Since you’re in a good mood, then can I ask you a favor? I want to protect someone,” said Tang Xiu.

“You want to protect someone?” Tang Guosheng was surprised. “Who is the person and what’s his identity?”

Tang Xiu explained about Feng Kang’s affairs and finally said, “Grandpa, there’s some things I wanna do in Shanghai and having someone in the Public Security Bureau would help to deal with things very conveniently later. Feng Kang is now currently facing an imminent disaster, so helping him at this time will make it easier to recruit him and secure his usefulness later.”

Tang Guosheng pondered for a moment and then said, “No problem, I’ll use my contacts immediately. All his troubles will be solved tomorrow afternoon at the latest.”

“There’s no hurry. It’s best to wait for two days!” Said Tang Xiu.

Tang Guosheng immediately understood Tang Xiu’s meaning. As of now, Feng Kang was in a moment of crisis, thus he wouldn’t feel very grateful if they immediately helped him. If they came to help when he was at the end of the rope and was suffering from mental torture, however, he would definitely feel very grateful and would be of great use to his grandson.

“I see. Let him enjoy it for two days, then.”
