The convenience store was well-heated, and the clerk was working in just a long-sleeved shirt.
Song Mai shivered a few times before feeling a little warmer.
After finding what she needed on the shelf, she asked the shop assistant to pack her a serving of oden.
She took a sip of the soup and felt a bit of warmth inside.
Song Mai stayed in the convenience store until she finished eating the oden before mustering up the courage to push open the door and go back inside.
It was already past 10 p.m., and even in the city center, the flow of people had decreased considerably.
There were hardly any people on the street, except for a few KTVs and bars where the area was bustling with activity.
Song Mai wrapped her down jacket tightly around herself, tucked her hands into her sleeves, and walked quickly forward.
They wish they could do the work of ten steps in one.
Just as she was passing by the entrance of a bar, a man and a woman suddenly came out of it, chatting and laughing. The woman then bumped into Song Mai.
The woman immediately screamed in alarm.
"Are you blind?! Can't you see someone's there?!"
The woman's makeup was heavy, with long false eyelashes fluttering like feather fans. It was the dead of winter, and she was only wearing a snow-white fur coat with a glossy, high-quality sheen. Underneath, she wore a peach-colored strapless mini-dress, and her long, straight legs were clad in thin black stockings and ten-centimeter stilettos. She looked alluring and sexy.
She was originally a pretty girl, and although she didn't look bad with heavy makeup and red lips, it masked her natural freshness and made her look more worldly and vulgar.
Song Mai recognized him and looked at him carefully for a few moments.
The woman recognized her at a glance.
"Song Mai, it's you?"
The voice was so familiar that Song Mai called out her name after a few seconds.
"Zheng Yao?"
Zheng Yao was arm in arm with a young man with dyed red hair and a shifty-looking face. The man had a long scar on his face and was wearing a black leather jacket. Although half of his neck was covered by the jacket, Song Mai could still see the many tattoos on his neck.
However, the two of them look quite well-matched in their outfits.
Song Mai was momentarily confused, her memory clearly still stuck on the last time she went shopping and met Zheng Yao and her "baby".
It seems like only a short time passed before it was changed.
And this type is just too...
They are worlds apart.
Zheng Yao frowned and looked at Song Mai with a fierce expression.
What are you doing here? What are you doing here?
Song Mai shrugged.
"I was on a business trip. You bumped into me just now. I wasn't the one who was blind. As for who was blind, who knows?"
She was already dressed lightly and was shivering from the cold standing outside. She had no desire to waste time with Zheng Yao and turned to leave.
But Zheng Yao stopped him.
"Stop right there! You think you can just walk away after hitting me? Not so easy!"
She had previously humbled herself to serve that old man, Ke Xin, hoping that he could help her get revenge.
Unexpectedly, Kexin was suppressed by Yunxing for no reason and quickly failed.
Although Fan Ruifeng promised to help her get revenge, he did not actually do so.
Later, when Kexin was still barely surviving, she approached Fan Ruifeng and asked him to fulfill his promise.
Fan Ruifeng even said that Kexin's current state was all because of her.
If it weren't for helping her get revenge, Kexin wouldn't have been suppressed like this by Yunxing.
Zheng Yao didn't understand what Yunxing Group's suppression of Kexin had to do with her, so she just said that Fan Ruifeng's own words didn't count and that he was using Yunxing as a shield.
He offended Yunxing himself, and Yunxing made things this bad for him, yet he still blames himself.
It's truly laughable.
Fan Ruifeng said that he risked everything to smooth things over with Yunxing in order to help her get revenge, but he spent a lot of money and accomplished nothing.
After receiving the money, Hu Hongqing promised to help him contact Qiao Junzhu, the HR manager of Yunxing. Later, Hu Hongqing told him that Qiao Junzhu said she needed to think about it and would let them know as soon as she had decided.
But this consideration came to nothing.
A few days later, Hu Hongqing was first transferred to the United States, then transferred from the United States to Africa, and then lost contact with him.
Then Kexin suffered round after round of suppression from Yunxing.
Just as he was imitating Han Shanyu and leading his men to Yunxing to request an audience with Master Yun, he was told by the receptionist that Master Yun had instructed that no new people would be seen.
He had hoped to find out why Yunxing was targeting Kexin, so that any misunderstandings could be cleared up. If someone in Kexin had really offended Yunxing, they would apologize and make amends in time. He just wanted Yunxing to be lenient and let them off this time, and not to go so far as to destroy Kexin.
But Yunxing completely blocked all his paths. Yunxing wouldn't even let him in. He couldn't see Master Yun, nor could he see Assistant Lu.
It was obvious that Master Yun intended to kill him this time.
At first, he didn't realize that this was because of Song Mai, after all, Song Mai was just a minor translator in Yunxing.
But later, after Hu Hongqing was transferred to Africa, he lost contact with him completely within two days. Only then did he realize that this might be because of Song Mai.
After all, he had carefully investigated and confirmed that Kexin and Yunxing had absolutely no connection and there was no chance of offending Master Yun.
That means the only explanation is that Yunye discovered his contact with Hu Hongqing to ask him to drive Song Mai out of Yunxing.
But he couldn't understand why Master Yun would be so ruthless towards an ordinary translator.
Even if his contact with Hu Hongqing angered Master Yun, it wouldn't warrant sending Hu Hongqing directly to Africa.
Who exactly is this Song Mai?
That's why he was so angry when Zheng Yao said he didn't keep his word.
Zheng Yao still remembers how aggressively Fan Ruifeng asked her who Song Mai really was.
She never expected that Song Mai would be able to join Yunxing after leaving Xunyi.
Zheng Yao was quite certain that Song Mai couldn't possibly have any powerful identity or background.
If she had any powerful background, she wouldn't have worked at Xunyi for so many years, nor would she have been sold to that old man Liu Weiqiang by her family, and she certainly wouldn't be living in such poverty.
If she had any connection with Yunxing, she would have gone to Yunxing long ago. Why would she have stayed at Xunyi for so many years?
How can Xunyi compare to Yunxing even slightly?
But it is indeed true that Fan Ruifeng was ruined by Yunxing.
Then there is only one possibility.
That man, Song Mai's husband, is no ordinary person.
Zheng Yao was quite certain that Chu Xing was either rich or noble.
However, she had always thought that Chu Xing's identity was just that of a rich second-generation or an official's son, perhaps a young master from some prominent family, whose powerful parents were the reason he was so respected.
After all, no one in the entire Southern Capital had ever heard of such a person.
But now, thinking about Fan Ruifeng's case, it's truly terrifying.
Who exactly is that man?
How can someone have a say in Yunxing Group?
It would also allow the incredibly mysterious Master Yun to help him deal with Kexin.
