After getting out of the car, Xia Bingyan didn't bother to take her suitcase out of the trunk and went straight into the villa, calling out, "President Shen, President Shen."
At this moment, Shen Lang was sitting at the dining table eating. Looking at the impetuous Xia Bingyan, he said speechlessly, "What are you shouting for? I'm not dead yet."
Upon hearing this, Xia Bingyan looked over and saw that Shen Lang was eating, with a stunningly beautiful woman in white ancient costume sitting next to him, and a beautiful woman in a light blue dress standing behind him, whose looks were no less than her own.
Yu Xian'er stood up, walked slowly to Xia Bingyan's side, extended her hand and smiled gently, "You must be Xia Bingyan, the young master's little secretary."
Xia Bingyan blankly extended her hand and shook hands with Yu Xian'er, saying, "You... hello... you must be Sister Xian'er."
Yu Xian'er smiled and said, "Yes, I am your personal maid, Yu Xian'er."
"Hello, Sister Xian'er. I'm new here, please take good care of me," Xia Bingyan said hastily after realizing what was happening.
Although Yu Xian'er claimed to be a maid, she acted exactly like a mistress, and Shen Lang's silence was tantamount to tacitly acknowledging the relationship.
Moreover, the innate sense of oppression emanating from Yu Xian'er left Qin Shiya somewhat at a loss, just like when Qin Shiya first met Yu Xian'er.
At this moment, Qin Shiya carried Xia Bingyan's suitcase into the villa.
When she saw Yu Xian'er, she immediately greeted her, "Sister Xian'er."
Yu Xian'er smiled and nodded, saying, "You're back. Come and eat, I've prepared the meal for you."
Qin Shiya nodded, handed the suitcase to Shuang'er, and walked towards the dining table.
Yu Xian'er also led Xia Bingyan over.
"President Shen." Xia Bingyan walked to Shen Lang's side and respectfully asked, "Are you alright?"
Shen Lang shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
"Boss, you're finally awake," Qin Shiya said. "Sister Xian'er was so worried last night."
Shen Lang glanced at Yu Xian'er, and the two exchanged a knowing smile. Their eyes conveyed everything, and no further words were needed.
At that moment, in a bar called mAx next to Ci'en Temple, He Yongze took out his phone and dialed Qiu Hai's number.
"Hello, Tiger?" He Yongze said after the call connected.
"Brother Ze, how come you, such a busy man, have time to call me?" Qiu Hai said with a smile.
He Yongze said, "You've had a lot of fun these past few days, haven't you!"
Qiu Hai said with a wry smile, "Brother Ze, please stop teasing me. The days of fleeing disaster have been too miserable. I still miss the days when I went to your place every day."
He Yongze laughed and said, "I have some good news for you, would you like to hear it?"
"Hey! Thanks for thinking of me, Brother Ze, but I need to ask what good news it is?" Qiu Hai asked cautiously.
He Yongze asked, "The Zhang family, have you heard of them?"
Qiu Hai asked, "Which Zhang family?"
Qiu Hai was just a street thug; he wasn't qualified to even touch the prestigious families of X City.
A hint of disdain flashed in He Yongze's eyes, but his tone remained unchanged as he said, "You know Guosheng Group, right?"
"Of course I know that," Qiu Hai said with a smile. "Who in X City doesn't know Guosheng Group?"
"The person who asked you to do this favor is Zhang Chengyang, the young master of Guosheng Group," He Yongze said.
"If Tiger can take this opportunity to climb up the Zhang family's tree, the little thing you did can be settled with just a word from Young Master Zhang," He Yongze said arrogantly.
Qiu Hai exclaimed in surprise, "Really, Brother Ze?"
He Yongze glanced at Zhang Chengyang sitting next to him and said, "Young Master Zhang is sitting right next to me. Why don't you have a word with him?"
"Okay, okay," Qiu Hai replied hastily.
Zhang Chengyang took the phone and said, "A tiger, right?"
"Greetings, Young Master Zhang," Qiu Hai said excitedly. He hadn't heard of the Zhang family, but he knew about the Guosheng Group. The Guosheng Group was a powerful force in X City.
Zhang Chengyang said, "I have something I need you to do. We'll start tomorrow night. Can you keep up?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Definitely, Young Master Zhang. But I got into some trouble in X City. Could you perhaps find someone to help me sort it out first? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease going back home," Qiu Hai said with a smile.
"Tiger, do you really think you're something special?" He Yongze cursed loudly on the other end of the phone, "Brother Yang is giving you a chance and giving you face by asking you for a favor, and you still dare to talk about terms?"
Zhang Chengyang laughed and said, "Okay, have a safe trip." Then he hung up the phone.
He Yongze looked at Zhang Chengyang with a bitter expression and said, "Brother Yang, did I mess things up?"
Zhang Chengyang shook his head, lit a cigarette, and said, "You have to be tough on someone like Tiger. If you just go along with him, it will only make him suspicious."
Sure enough, after being hung up on, Qiu Hai sat on the bed in a small rented room, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
He wasn't blinded by Zhang Chengyang's offer to recruit him; he was weighing the pros and cons.
"The eldest son of the Zhang family in X city, if I can climb this high branch, then I'll be a member of high society from now on." As he thought about it, a hint of madness appeared in Qiu Hai's eyes.
Seeing that Qiu Hai remained silent, one of the underlings asked, "Boss, who called you?"
Qiu Hai smiled and said, "It's Zhang Chengyang, the eldest son of the Zhang family."
"Never heard of it," the younger brother said, shaking his head.
Qiu Hai kicked the underling and cursed, "What use are you bunch of good-for-nothings? You only cause me trouble all day long. If it weren't for you, would I have had to run away?"
As he said this, he completely forgot that he had tried to stab someone but was stopped by his underlings.
The younger brother was too angry to say anything, so he hid to the side and played on his phone.
However, Qiu Hai is a man of great loyalty. He never abandoned his younger brothers when they got into trouble, so his men were all devoted to him.
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Hai said to his underling, "Pack your things, we're going back to X City tomorrow to seek refuge with Young Master Zhang."
"Brother, wouldn't going back to X City now be like walking into a trap?" the henchman said with a grim expression.
"Bullshit!" Qiu Hai cursed. "Do you think I'd lead you guys into a fire pit? Just come back with me, you're all useless and good for nothing."
"oh."
Then Qiu Hai dialed He Yongze's number and said, "Brother Ze, I've made up my mind. I'll follow Young Master Zhang from now on. I'll be going back to X City tomorrow."
"Okay, come find me at the mAx bar when you get back." He Yongze hung up the phone after saying that.
Tiger was so angry his face turned red: "Damn it, anyone dares to hang up on me." But he didn't dare show it in front of He Yongze.
He hadn't forgotten the beating he'd received for causing trouble at the mAx bar last time; He Yongze had single-handedly beaten him and his dozen or so henchmen until they were trembling with fear.
"It's done. Let's notify Brother Lang." He Yongze said excitedly after hanging up the phone.
