Liu Wanqing had already arranged for people to wait outside, but she received a message from her best friend saying that the guy wasn't interested and the seduction hadn't been completed yet.
No interest? It seems she's been beaten up and needs to recuperate. Liu Wanqing was furious; she was full of confidence, but it didn't work out.
My mother has been urging me to change things. Now that the man is impotent in some ways, what am I going to do?
Even if he were willing to go on stage himself, he couldn't do it.
There's no use in being anxious; let's wait a while.

The physical examination room at a tertiary-level hospital in Binhai was unusually busy yet orderly today.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, dappling the clean and tidy floor and adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise somewhat austere space.
Today, this place welcomes a group of special yet ordinary health check-up participants. Each of them carries different wishes and expectations, waiting to pass this hurdle and move on to the next important stage of their lives.
Among these inspectors, Li Fu's figure was particularly eye-catching.
He wore a slightly worn but neat executive jacket with the collar turned up slightly, seemingly unintentionally revealing a sense of composure and perseverance.
As Li Fu stepped into the hospital lobby, he took a deep breath, his gaze sweeping over the busy medical staff and advanced medical equipment, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Actually, I wasn't as excited or nervous about this physical exam as others.
Years of experience in officialdom and life have taught him to hide his emotions, but deep down, the thought of his daughter's future is always with him.
If I don't take the position myself, my daughter's future status may be unstable. It's better to trust myself than to trust outsiders.
However, reality is always so harsh.
Li Fu had already gained a general understanding of his physical condition in private. He had some long-standing minor ailments and irregular lifestyle habits, so he didn't have high hopes for his medical examination results.
But I still decided to give it a try, even if it's just to give my daughter an explanation and to prove to myself that I've tried.
Of course, she naturally took the so-called conditioning pills that Zhang Fan gave her.
It's now basically certain that as long as I pass the physical exam, I can get in. Because I'm competing, my good friend has been unhappy about it lately.
The plan was to give it to him, but recent events have forced Li Fu to fight for it.
Trying doesn't guarantee success, but giving up guarantees failure.
Li Fu saw Brother Xue outside. He seemed confident because Li Fu had told him about his health problems.
He'll be satisfied once the physical exam is over and the results come out.
All the necessary procedures have been followed; this is the final hurdle. If I fail, then he will go up.
Li Fu still felt uncomfortable seeing the look in his good friend's eyes.
She also basically knew that he wouldn't take his daughter too seriously in the future. He had even said behind her back that if it weren't for her, his daughter wouldn't be qualified to enter his family.
My daughter is indeed a bit wild, but that's just her personality.
Li Fu got into a Ghost and the car quickly left the scene.
As a result, the results couldn't be obtained on the same day, and people had to wait. Some people were even more anxious than I was, and they wished they wouldn't pass.
At this point, Xue Yi was already confident. What difference would a good friend's physical examination make?
Why is he suddenly competing with me? He can't take away what belongs to me, you know?
He wouldn't even want his wild, unruly daughter, let alone his son.
Now, once I'm in power, I'll deal with the Wanfu Group issue first, because I have a stake in it.
As for Yueyue, let her stay a delinquent. Want to join the Xue family? Dream on.
Everything is now under my control!

Inside the antique shop, under the dim yellow light, the second-in-command sat at a slightly worn pearwood table, his fingers skillfully tapping the abacus, making a "clattering" sound that was particularly clear in the quiet afternoon.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and confusion.
None of the shop assistants were there at that moment, as if they had vanished into thin air.
"Really, weren't we supposed to send them to handle that matter and get the stuff back?" the second-in-command muttered to himself, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction and doubt.
The "thing" he was referring to was a priceless blue-and-white porcelain vase, and their "solution" naturally referred to a less-than-honorable method.
But now, not only had the item not been retrieved, but the people had also vanished without a trace. How could he not be suspicious? "Could they really be so audacious as to have embezzled that blue and white porcelain?" As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the second-in-command's face darkened even further.
Just as he was lost in thought, a series of hurried and heavy footsteps broke the silence in the shop.
A group of thugs dressed in strange clothes and with fierce faces barged in. The leader had intricate tattoos on his arm and a menacing look in his eyes, as if he could eat people.
They walked straight up to the second-in-command and immediately demanded a high-interest loan.
"I heard that one of your tellers owes us a considerable sum of money, and we're here today to collect it." As he spoke, a malicious smile curled at the corner of his mouth, seemingly disregarding where he was and who the second-in-command in front of him was.
Upon hearing this, the second-in-command's face instantly turned ashen, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
"You've come here to collect protection money? Don't you guys know who's protecting this place?"
He suppressed his anger and tried to make his voice sound calm and powerful, attempting to intimidate these uninvited guests with the power behind him.
However, the other party didn't seem to buy it, and instead laughed even more arrogantly: "Hmph, I don't care who's protecting you, it's only right to pay back debts. If you don't give us an explanation today, don't blame us for being impolite."
You're welcome?
Why shouldn't you be polite?
To open a shop here, you definitely need to cultivate good relationships with everyone.
When the second-in-command refused to pay, the gang wouldn't tolerate it and started fighting immediately.
And then they started smashing things up at the shop.
The second-in-command put his hands behind his head, realizing he couldn't win alone today, and besides, he didn't owe any so-called high-interest loans.
As for what those tellers did, that's their business.
Seeing that the second-in-command was stubborn, the leader, a blond-haired man, slapped him with his shoe.
Borrowing money at exorbitant interest rates and not repaying it?
Are you looking for death?
Don't you even know who your boss is?!
In this area, no one dares to lend money and then refuse to pay!
The second-in-command was beaten so badly he screamed like a banshee. He was the one who bullied others before, but he never expected to be bullied by a group of thugs today.
Little did he know that Zhang Fan had orchestrated this, not only using the identities of several tellers to obtain small loans but also selling them off.
The second-in-command coveted the blue and white porcelain, but in the end, he not only failed to steal the item but also lost his life, and the shop was also targeted by a group of thugs.
