Chapter 684: Putting On A Pretentious Dignity

Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze

Han Qingwu’s expression when she turned around to see Tang Xiu was extraordinarily splendid with surprise, joy, bashfulness, anger, and complain… Eventually, these emotions turned into her gnashing her teeth as she forcefully grabbed his arm to pinch and twist his waist.

Aaargh…

Despite not feeling much pain, Tang Xiu still acted exaggerated and screamed. Upon seeing Han Qingwu’s look of satisfaction as she let him go, he let out an embarrassed smile and said, “What’s the background of that fella, Teacher Han? To think that he’s so arrogant to drive a car to the classroom building just to court you? Such a pretentiousness would be hard if he’s only an ordinary person.”

With an annoyed expression, Han Qingwu replied, “He’s just a rascal relying on… aargh, forget it. You won’t know it even if I tell you. Let’s change the subject. Starting today, if you skip classes for no reason, don’t blame me for deducting your credits!”

Tang Xiu was startled and hurriedly refuted, “Hey, didn’t we reach an agreement before? I can ask for a leave at any time if I have an important matter to tend to if I take you to tour Jingmen Island.”

Han Qingwu rolled her eyes and snorted, “Hmph, that was last year. But I can no longer let you indulge yourself again this year. Furthermore, didn’t you say you were taking me to tour Jingmen Island? I was all by myself touring Jingmen Island and you didn’t even know where I went to that time. You know, I haven’t pursued you and settled that account until now.”

“Eh…” Tang Xiu felt helpless somewhat. His visit to Jingmen Island that time was due to an important matter, to deal with those two islands in the South China Sea and crazily work to kill those savage beasts and deal with the Yao Family. However, he couldn’t reveal this matter to Han Qingwu, so he could only force out a bitter smile and say, “How about discussing this issue again? I still have to take some time off if something comes up. For instance, I must attend a very important tender meeting in Shanghai a couple days later, and I may have to leave for two days.”

“A tender? What tender bidding?” Asked Han Qingwu, baffled.

“I sent some people to buy a large plot of land in the remote area of Shanghai as of recently,” said Tang Xiu. “I’m preparing to build the Magnificent Tang Corporation HQ as well as its industrial park here. Several days later, nearly all the top 20 construction companies in the country will come here to bid for the tender.”

“Do you want to move your company HQ to Shanghai?” Asked Han Qingwu, astounded.

“Yeah.” Tang Xiu nodded. “Shanghai is an international metropolis and is the best gateway to the world. If the Magnificent Tang Corporation sells its products overseas, it would be best if the company HQ was established here. Teacher Han, I must personally attend such an important matter, and I’m afraid I have no choice but to skip classes if you don’t give me a leave of absence. You couldn’t be cruel enough to see me expelled from Shanghai University just because I skipped classes too many times, could you?”

Han Qingwu hesitated, and then hummed coldly, “Hmph, remember to send me your leave application in due course, and hand it to me in person.”

Tang Xiu felt happy inwardly and immediately flattered her, “Thanks for your understanding, Teacher Han! Well, I haven’t seen you during the winter holiday, and you seem even younger and more beautiful than ever.”

“Get lost…”

Finally, a bit of smile appeared on Han Qingwu’s face and she charmingly rolled her eyes at Tang Xiu.

After the talking about some over trivial things with her, one of Tang Xiu’s purposes in coming to the campus had been achieved. He immediately bade her farewell and went to the male students’ dorms. On the way there, he called Yue Kai and learned that he, Hu Qingsong, and Zhao Liang were outside shopping and there was only Xue Chao in the dorm.

Ten minutes later, just as Tang Xiu arrived downstairs of the dorm, he saw Xue Chao run out of the front door while holding a large envelope. The guy then forcefully stuffed it into his hand after he saw him.

“What’s this?” Tang Xiu was surprised.

“That’s your money. My wife and I have been working hard in the Everlasting Feast Hall for six months and earned ourselves quite some money. Besides, Chief Chi had especially gifted us, all the married employees there, a thick red envelope to celebrate the New Year. The amount is enough for us to pass our days for some time.”

Tang Xiu shot a deep look at Xue Chao and stuffed the envelope into his pocket. He let out a smile and grabbed his shoulder, and while they walked toward the campus gate, he said, “I know that you don’t want to owe me too much, so I’ll accept this. Besides, we’re classmates as well as brothers. I’m happy for you if you have money, but do not hesitate to tell me if you have no money in the future, okay?”

Brothers!

What Tang Xiu said made Xue Chao feel warm inside. He firmly nodded and said, “Where are we going now?”

“To grab a bite… a.k.a. eating,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

At the campus entrance to Shanghai University.

Four luxury supercars were parked on the roadside while Song Zicong clamped a cigarette on the corner of his mouth, looking bored as he watched his ‘three partners in crime’, each hugging their girls in a lovey-dovey manner. He hailed from an extraordinary family and was the heir apparent of the Huaxiang Group in China. Born with a golden spoon in his mouth, he had been living a crown prince’s life since childhood.

However, he became a rebellious juvenile as he entered adolescence, fascinated with martial arts and seeking out many formidable experts through various channels in order to fulfill his dream to become an expert. Pity that it was nothing but a short-lived enthusiasm that cost him quite a lot of money and yet only learned very little.

A couple years ago, he followed his parents to Shanghai and involved himself in the management, and then went out to try to find himself some buddies, finally hanging out with some of Shanghai’s rabbles. They went into a quarrel with some local thugs and were eventually chased by a gang for a long time. Fortunately, he met with the beautiful Han Qingwu, by with her formidableness that aroused deep admiration in him.
