Li Qiang hastily sent out such a psychological attack just now out of anger. He was so anxious to catch up with Tang Xiu and, without thinking, slammed the door and accused him. But now, after Tang Xiu asked him, his rage couldn’t help but swirl around and around inside his chest, unable to break out from his gaffe.

‘What and how should I explain? No way do I tell him that I’ve tracked them, right? Yeah right, that will be so damn embarrassing!’

At present, his face was flushed red, wishing he could find a hole he could burrow himself into. After standing stiffly for some time under the strange gaze of everyone present, he coughed twice and bit the bullet, “I’ve got to deal with you for something. Ah, no. I’m looking for her.”

“There’s no rush, you can talk with her later,” said Tang Xiu casually. “Let’s talk about how I toyed with you.”

Li Qiang instantly felt vexed! He could only feel helpless about Tang Xiu poking fun and toying with him. Smart as he was, nevertheless, he still let out a dry laugh and said, “Ah, I don’t think a nouveau riche like you needs to stoop down to my stature, right? Besides, the reason why I spoke like that to you was actually to find a reason for coming in. Well… I’m kinda looking for… erm… your woman. There’s something I need to ask her.”

Tang Xiu waved his hand and smilingly said, “That was quite a forced and ridiculous reason, don’t you think? Now tell me, what are you looking for Xue Yu for? Don’t tell me you wanna pursue her, else I won’t mind to beat you up, punching you until you kneel and spit out some blood like a certain somebody.”

A certain someone?

Li Qiang was stunned and stared blankly. Only then did he notice the handsome young man who was leaning on the wall with a bruised red face and blood on his lips. The sight made him startled. He had seen many second-generation rich officials and nouveau riche who shared this common hobby. He was just here to get done with that ‘business’, rather than fail and get beaten by others.

“Uh, Brother, you seem to be called Tang Xiu if I remember correctly. The Tang like the character from the Magnificent Tang Corporation, and Xiu, which means cultivating and developing it, right? It’s truly great a name and it has connotations for a handsome young man with great accomplishments. In fact, I’m looking for this… erm… your woman… It was completely because I know someone who is kind of going crazy with her beauty and wants to do something bad to her, so I have a good intention to inform you about that.”

A smile sketched out on the corner of Tang Xiu’s mouth and he smilingly said, “And? Who is this person plotting against my woman then? Can you tell me?”

Li Qiang let out a twisted smile and said, “It’s my new Boss—that old pervert who stays in Chang City Hotel. You might not know this, but he insisted and forced me to do this… to get your woman’s… cell number. He threatened me that he won’t make a deal with me if I didn’t get your woman’s number, let alone work at his company. To be frank, though, I promised to work at his company mainly for expediency, simply out of an improvisation to take advantage of him. I was hoping that he’d sign the business order first, then I’d see how far he would go.”

“So, do you think I’m gonna let my woman give you her cell number?” asked Tang Xiu.

“Under normal circumstances? You’ll never allow it. Absolutely.” Li Qiang shook his head.

“Is that so? Then tell me this irregular circumstance you thought of,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

Li Qiang’s eyes lit up. He quickly organized his speech in his mind before he said, “The first moment I saw you, I knew that you were a handsome and good-hearted rich man. It was definitely because you felt sour back when you pretended to speak those harsh words to me. Brother Tang, you and big sis-in-law aren’t locals here, right? How about you help me pull an act until I strike the sales contract with him and get the high commission? I’ll be the host to treat you and big sis-in-law to a feast; I can even be your tour guide around Chang City. I can give you a good time while enjoying the great scenery, friendly people, good food, and the awesome customs here.”

“Pfft… hahaha.” Xue Yu couldn’t help but laugh. She reached out to touch Tang Xiu’s arm and said, “That’s not bad, I think.”

Tang Xiu smiled and nodded in response, “Eloquent. Got a silver tongue and good brain, doesn’t he? If he quits this current job of his, it should be the ninth time, right?”

“Yeah, it should be the ninth time if he changes job again,” said Xue Yu smilingly.

Tang Xiu looked amused and said, “Your name is Li… Li Qiang, right? I don’t mind helping you, though I have some conditions. If you agree with it, we’ll go back to the hotel together later.”

Li Qiang cautiously followed along and asked, “What conditions do you have, Brother?”

“Promise that person that you’ll work in his company. You’ll sign the contract and work for him for two months, only to sink his company down. After that, leave and find me. You’ll work for me later,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

“Pardon?” Li Qiang was dumbfounded and had countless thoughts swirling inside his mind. It never occurred to him that Tang Xiu would set such a ridiculous demand.

“What’s wrong? Do you disagree with it?” chuckled Tang Xiu playfully.

“Working for you is a minor thing, Brother,” said Li Qiang as he probed further, “It’s just that I don’t get it. Why do you want me to switch jobs and go to a new company? Besides, you want me to sink the company of that person down? Is it because he got some bad thoughts towards big sis-in-law, or is it because you’re furious?”

“You see, there are tons of men in this world who harbor such thoughts towards my woman. I would be dead tired if I had to deal with each one, don’t you think?” said Tang Xiu with a chuckle. “As for the reasons, you don’t need to know that. You only have two choices now. Agree, or refuse!”

Li Qiang hesitated for a while and asked, “What business are you doing exactly, Brother?”

“The Magnificent Tang Corporation,” said Tang Xiu with a light smile.

Magnificent Tang Corporation?

Li Qiang was dumbfounded yet again. It was the company he just mentioned.
