"To be honest, Mr. Ye, not long ago one of my enemies returned seeking revenge. He was a master of internal martial arts, and even the deaths of more than a dozen of my men couldn't stop him."
"If it weren't for this talisman blocking his palm strike for me, I would be dead by now." Qin Wu said with a look of fear, "You've saved my life again."
"So you're looking for a talisman now?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"I'm asking Mr. Ye to help me resolve this trouble," Qin Wu said through gritted teeth.
"So that's what you're planning?" Ye Xingchen suddenly realized, and said calmly, "I don't want to get involved in the feuds of the martial world."
"Moreover, this amulet is extremely powerful. Even if a speeding car crashes into it, it won't break into three pieces."
"Anyone capable of shattering a protective talisman with a single palm strike must be at least at the Yellow Realm. Why should I risk offending them for your sake?"
Ye Xingchen naturally had concerns. He was just starting out, and his connections, background, and strength were still weak. Why should he provoke that internal martial arts master?
Moreover, judging from the extent of the damage to the lightning-struck wood, the opponent must be at least at the Yellow Realm.
The ancient martial arts are divided into Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow. Entering the Yellow realm is only the beginning, but it has reached the point where one can shatter stones with one hand and injure people with palm force.
As for the Great Celestial Phenomena above the Celestial Realm, it is a realm that ordinary martial artists dream of. Unfortunately, the Celestial Realm is the limit for ordinary martial arts masters, and it is extremely difficult to advance further.
Moreover, the other party has senior brothers and fellow disciples, and Ye Xingchen doesn't want to get himself into this trouble.
"Mr. Ye." Qin Wu knelt down on the ground again with a thud. He said in a trembling voice, "You have done a good deed to the end and helped me get through this hurdle of turning fifty. I will definitely repay you handsomely."
"The words 'generous reward' are not enough to convince me." Ye Xingchen glanced at Qin Wu sideways.
Yes, he was ambitious and never wanted to live a life of being ridiculed and scorned again.
With this power, he wants to find out his origins and build his own Ye family empire.
Although Qin Wu comes from the underworld, if he wants to rise to the top, he inevitably has to get these people to do some dirty work. Now, only he himself can save him, and it all depends on his performance.
"As long as Mr. Qin helps me get through this ordeal, Qin Wu will obey your every command from now on." Qin Wu gritted his teeth and made his decision.
He was gambling because he believed that the young man in front of him was no ordinary person.
"Have you thought this through? I'm just a nobody, but I'm the infamous Fifth Master Qin," Ye Xingchen said. "Are you willing to be subservient to me?"
"Mr. Ye, the reason why I, Qin Wu, have survived for so many years is not because I am so capable, but because I am pragmatic." Qin Wu said, "I trust my own judgment, and I also believe that Mr. Ye is no ordinary person."
"Alright, based on that statement alone, I can guarantee you that within three years you'll reach unprecedented heights." Ye Xingchen stood up: "I'll arrange a time to meet him."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye." Qin Wu was overjoyed: "Let's serve the dishes."
"I'm skipping dinner; I'm picking someone up," Ye Xingchen waved.
Qin Yue just sent a message, meaning to ask me to pick her up, but judging from her tone, she wanted Ye Xingchen to help her out of the predicament.
Inside the hotel, Qin Yue's cheeks were slightly flushed, clearly indicating that she was somewhat intoxicated.
Qin Yue's company manufactures pharmaceuticals. Today, she accompanied Wang Bin, the sales manager, to dinner with the son of the president of a major hospital.
Zhang Yuan is a major shareholder of Changhe Hospital. Now, Tonghui Pharmaceutical, where Qin Yue works, wants to penetrate the market of Jitong Hospital with several new drugs, so naturally, they can't bypass Zhang Yuan.
"Young Master Zhang, we had a very pleasant conversation. What do you think of these new drugs of ours? Could we get them into your Changhe Hospital and ask the doctors to help promote them?" Wang Bin said with a smile, seeing that the meal was almost finished.
"Well, no rush. The effects of Tonghui's medicines are just average. We still need to consider them." Zhang Yuan wiped his mouth and put on airs.
"Young Master Zhang, we're here with sincerity. If you're not satisfied with the kickbacks or rebates, we can discuss it further," said a sexy woman accompanying them.
The pharmaceutical industry is notoriously murky, and kickbacks and rebates are commonplace—this is an open secret in the industry. The negotiations were going well, but Zhang Yuan seemed somewhat dissatisfied.
She is Wu Xueli, the public relations manager of Tonghui. She is in charge of drinking and dining with clients. For some clients who are difficult to win over, she relies on her skills in bed.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yuan wasn't interested in her; his attention was only on Qin Yue.
"Rebates are nothing, haha, Miss Qin, let's have a drink." Zhang Yuan picked up his glass and looked at Qin Yue, his meaning was already very clear.
Wang Bin and Wu Xueli instantly understood what Zhang Yuan meant.
"Xiao Qin, quickly have a drink with Young Master Zhang," Wang Bin said hastily.
"Mr. Zhang, my alcohol tolerance is really at its limit," Qin Yue said apologetically.
She works in the administration department, and it's not usually her turn to have dinner with clients, but Wang Bin said this client was very important and specifically asked her to come, so she had no choice but to come.
However, Zhang Yuan kept urging her to drink during the dinner and intentionally or unintentionally got closer to her.
"Alright, I won't force Miss Qin if she doesn't want to drink. Manager Wang, let's call it a day. We'll talk about the contract later." Zhang Yuan snorted and put down his cup.
Even a fool could see that Zhang Yuan was unhappy, so Wang Bin quickly said, "Young Master Zhang, please don't be angry, I have arrangements."
He turned sternly to Qin Yue: "Qin Yue, what's wrong with you? Who is Young Master Zhang? Is it so difficult for you to have a drink with him? Young Master Zhang is an important client of our company. Can you take responsibility if you upset him?"
"Qin Yue, it's just a drink, it's not like you can't drink. Quickly fill Zhang Shao's glass," Wu Xueli scolded.
Qin Yue had no choice. After all, one of them was an important client, and she couldn't refuse. She quickly poured herself a glass of wine and said apologetically, "Mr. Zhang, I'm really sorry, I can't hold my liquor. This glass is for you."
"That's more like it. Here, I'll make you pay for it." Wu Xueli was a seasoned drinker. She picked up a glass of wine and leaned in, but suddenly her hand slipped, and with a cry of pain, the wine spilled onto Qin Yue's chest.
Qin Yue couldn't dodge in time. She exclaimed in surprise as her shirt was stained red with wine.
"Oh dear, Qin Yue, I'm so sorry." Wu Xueli quickly grabbed a tissue to help her wipe it, but the wine stains were already impossible to remove.
"It's alright, Sister Wu, it's nothing," Qin Yue quickly said.
"I'm sorry, Qin Yue. Here's what I've done: I've booked a room at the hotel upstairs. Go take a shower and change your clothes." Wu Xueli took out a room key.
"No need, Sister Wu, I'll change when I get home," Qin Yue declined.
"That won't do, it's too uncomfortable, go quickly." Wu Xueli shoved the card into Qin Yue's hand without saying another word.
Wang Bin handed Zhang Yuan another card for the room, giving him a meaningful smile.
Zhang Yuan immediately understood. He nodded in satisfaction. When Qin Yue went up to take a shower, he would also swipe his card to go to the room. Wouldn't that solve the problem?
Qin Yue was already six or seven parts drunk, so how could he be afraid of not being able to handle her?
"Well... thank you, Sister Wu. Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I'll have to excuse myself for a moment." Qin Yue couldn't refuse, so she had to accept the room key.
Zhang Yuan and Wang Bin exchanged a glance and chuckled sinisterly. Zhang Yuan rubbed his hands together, finally managing to get the woman under control.
