Su Qing was clearly stunned for a moment, and quickly moved closer to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked speechless.
"I'd heard that the security here was terrible, but I never thought I'd get robbed just by going out for a stroll."
Su Qing explained in a low voice, "The security here is nothing like that in China. It's very chaotic at night. Even the locals don't come out after 10 p.m.
The three foreigners were getting annoyed when they saw that the two were speaking only half-fluent Mandarin and they couldn't understand a word of it.
"Hurry up and take out your wallet, do you hear me? Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Chen Fan raised his hands.
"OK, OK! Don't rush."
"You just want money, right? There's no need to resort to violence. Just tell me, how much money do you want?"
The three were somewhat surprised to hear this.
Judging from Chen Fan's tone, he seems to have a lot of power.
The young man with the knife chuckled.
"I want all your possessions to be handed over to me obediently."
Chen Fan made an OK sign, then searched his person.
Su Qing, who was standing next to her, was a little nervous.
"Chen Fan...should we call the police?"
"No..."
As Chen Fan spoke, he pulled a steel shovel from his pocket.
"I'm sorry. This is all I have left."
"How about the three of you buy a lollipop and lick it?"
Su Qing's lips twitched as she stood to the side. She knew the atmosphere was awkward, but she almost laughed at those words.
The three foreigners were clearly stunned for a moment before they reacted.
"Damn, John, he's messing with you!"
"Fuck! Old man..."
Before the man could finish speaking, a passerby suddenly appeared, grappled him, and snatched the dagger from his hand.
The two foreigners next to them clearly had never seen anything like this before.
"Kung Fu. Chinese Kung Fu..."
The two shouted "Dah!" and turned to run away in fright.
The bodyguard glanced at the guy pinned to the ground, then looked up at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan shook his head.
"Forget it. Let him get lost."
As soon as the bodyguard let go, the foreigner scrambled to his feet, clutching his injured arm, and ran away, grimacing.
After the three men ran away, the bodyguard immediately left and hid in the darkness.
Su Qing looked at this scene with surprise and asked with a smile.
Do you always bring bodyguards when you travel?
Chen Fan nodded.
"There's no way around it, the richer people are, the more afraid they are of dying."
Su Qing was amused.
Chen Fan then asked, "Is the neighborhood where you live this chaotic too?"
"It's not safe for a girl like you to be here alone."
Su Qing laughed and said, "Actually, it's not that serious."
"The neighborhood I live in is a wealthy neighborhood, and the security is quite good."
"Generally speaking, the poorer the neighborhood, the more chaotic the security situation."
"Besides going to work and coming home, I rarely go out. I almost never go out at night, so I'm safe."
Chen Fan was still somewhat uneasy.
"I'll talk to Brother Jie later and make him take security seriously. If you need to go out, I'll have him arrange some bodyguards for you."
Although Chen Fan overreacted a bit, Su Qing was still very happy to be cared for and concerned by him.
After this unexpected incident, Chen Fan lost interest in continuing his shopping trip.
The two turned around and headed back towards the hotel.
"Go back and get some rest. You need to dress smartly tomorrow, you want to be the center of attention on stage," Su Qing teased with a smile.
Chen Fan smiled.
"I was probably a little excited when I rang the bell for the first time, but now I don't feel anything at all."
"Has the dress I asked you to prepare been ready?"
Su Qing nodded.
“Let’s go up on stage with Ming and let you experience it too.”
Su Qing felt a little embarrassed.
“I don’t work for Extraordinary Media.”
"It's okay, there will be many guests on stage, including celebrities."
Su Qing smiled.
I am genuinely happy for you.
"What are your goals in this life? How much money do you want to earn before retiring?"
Chen Fan laughed heartily.
"When I was in school, my goal was to achieve financial freedom and retire before I turned thirty. Later I found that I achieved this goal much earlier."
"These two companies are developing Ruofan Group. The group is related to the food, drink and daily life of so many people. Now they want me to just wash my hands of it and quit. It seems a bit irresponsible of me."
"I've thought it over. When Ruofan Group no longer needs me as its leader, I can retire peacefully and enjoy life."
Su Qing asked curiously, "So what do you want to do after you retire?"
Chen Fan envisioned, "After retirement, I'll take my wife and children on a world tour, see the beautiful landscapes, and then travel abroad."
"Finally, I'll find a place with beautiful scenery, buy a house, and live a quiet life."
Su Qing looked on with anticipation.
"That's great. If there really is such a thing, remember to let me know."
"To inform you?"
"Yes. I'll buy a house next to yours then, and we can be neighbors."
Chen Fan was taken aback, suddenly realizing that these words sounded so familiar; it seemed that Wen Wan had said something similar before.
"Okay. It's a deal."
Chen Fan nodded with a smile, suddenly thinking about his future when he retired, and his neighbors would be Wen Wan, Su Qing, Bai Ruoxue, Bai Qingci, Xu Qiuci, Ding Dian, Fang Ling...
Cough cough... This kind of life doesn't seem so bad.
...
23꿂.
9:30 a.m.
Extraordinary Media officially went public on Nasdaq.
As the chairman, Chen Fan was surrounded by a group of people on the stage.
In addition to senior executives of the group, there were also company management and invited guest representatives, including celebrity guests such as Wen Wan and Deng Chao, as well as outstanding employee representatives from the company...
A large group of people stood on the stage, watching Chen Fan ring the bell and ascend the throne.
The audience erupted in applause, and confetti rained down.
Su Qing, dressed in a black gown, stood quietly in the corner of the stage.
His gaze swept across the crowd, landing on Chen Fan, who was surrounded by everyone like a star.
He was wearing a sharp suit, black leather shoes, a red tie symbolizing good luck, and his hair was styled... He looked very handsome and energetic.
He's only 29 years old.
They had already climbed to this position.
Not only is she capable, decisive, and has high emotional intelligence...
Most of my old classmates have gained weight and developed beer bellies since graduation.
But Chen Fan, such a big boss, still hasn't changed his physique at all.
When Kim Ji-nyeo wore a suit and stood on the stage, he had the figure of a model and was the most dazzling presence in the crowd.
How could such an outstanding man not attract women's attention?
Su Qing was no exception.
Chen Fan said that he was getting old and it was time to find a partner.
However, Su Qing felt somewhat regretful.
She's already met the best guy in the world, so why would she settle for less?
Actually, as an observer.
Just like I am now, standing in the corner of the road, watching him, admiring him, shining brightly step by step.
It's pretty good.
Su Qing is arrogant.
Since life cannot be perfect.
I'd rather stay single forever.
