Song Xiaodong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely make a change."

Shui Qinghe quickly said, "Jenny, don't say that, Xiaodong is very busy. Being able to find time to visit me is already very kind of her; it was my own willfulness to insist on coming out to work."

"You're really protective of her, huh? Haha, I'm just casually saying it; I don't mean to spoil your relationship. So what do you want to eat?"

Shui Qinghe said, "Anything is fine."

Lin Pingqing said, "Then I'll take you to Ha Family Restaurant to eat; the food there is quite nice."

Song Xiaodong said, "No problem, I'm not from Beijing, not familiar with the area, so you decide."

Lin Pingqing asked, "Oh, you're not from here, so where are you now?"

"I'm working in Ningjian Province," Song Xiaodong said.

"What kind of job do you do?" Jenny immediately asked, as she was just an ordinary girl and had a good connection with Shui Qinghe, so she had a natural interest in the matter.

"I'm a teacher at Ningjian Medical University." Song Xiaodong was quite fond of mentioning this identity.

"University teacher, that's a good job," Jenny's eyes immediately lit up and she said, "This job is respected, and the social status is not low."

Lin Pingqing immediately said, "I'm truly impressed. Being able to be a university teacher is quite remarkable, and I didn't expect I would have the honor to have a university teacher as a friend. It's really something to be proud of."

Jenny chimed in, "Your job is good, but it seems university teachers have a pretty leisurely life, right? You should take more time out to visit Qinghe."

Shui Qinghe quickly said, "Xiaodong is currently in the rising stage of her career, and has quite a lot of courses, so she's very busy."

"How young is he? He's just starting to teach, right? How could he have so many courses?" Jenny immediately asked in confusion, "I have a relative who's a university teacher, he's over thirty years old and only has a few classes a week, really quite leisurely."

Shui Qinghe was also momentarily at a loss on how to respond, but Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "It might be that the leadership in my school thinks highly of me, so they've given me more responsibilities."

"Oh, that's possible."

Although Lin Pingqing and Jenny felt Song Xiaodong's job was good, they didn't take it too seriously. After all, Song Xiaodong was very young and his social status wasn't particularly high at the moment.

Ha Family Restaurant isn't a big restaurant, but the dishes here are quite good. The four of them ordered in a private room and chatted while eating.

These two did not know Song Xiaodong's identity, and faced him with a normal mentality, occasionally joking with him and Shui Qinghe, all of which made Song Xiaodong feel very relaxed; sometimes, having a high status can make people lose a lot of fun.

"I still don't know what you do, Pingqing," out of courtesy, Song Xiaodong asked.

Lin Pingqing laughed, "Oh me? Not much, just doing some small business to earn some pocket money."

Shui Qinghe immediately laughed and said, "You're too modest, Jenny has praised you quite a lot; your business is doing quite well."

"Not at all, this small business is really not worth mentioning." Lin Pingqing was genuinely modest, not just being pretentious.

Jenny's phone rang, she glanced at the number and picked up, laughing, "Mom, I'm having dinner with Pingqing outside."

"Jenny, something's happened, Xiaotong has been arrested."

"What? How did Xiaotong get arrested?" Jenny immediately exclaimed.

"Xiaotong took his girlfriend out to play, someone harassed his girlfriend, and then a fight broke out. Xiaotong broke that person's head, and he's been arrested now. Ask Pingqing, doesn't he know a lot of people? Get him to help find some connections to get Xiaotong out quickly."

Jenny hurriedly said, "Alright, alright, I'll ask him to find someone right away, don't worry."

After hanging up the phone, Jenny immediately said, "Pingqing, you have to find someone to get Xiaotong out."

At this moment, Lin Pingqing was rather calm and said, "Jenny, don't panic. You need to first understand where Xiaotong is being held, and then I can find someone who can help."

"Oh, right!" Jenny snapped back to reality, realizing her concern was causing her to be flustered. She quickly called her mother, got the details, and said, "He is being held at the North Gate Police Station."

"Then it shouldn't be a big problem. I'm quite familiar with the deputy director at the North Gate Police Station." Lin Pingqing said as he was already taking out his phone.

"Director Wang, this is Pingqing... Haha, aren't you the busy one? Otherwise, I would have visited you sooner..." After some small talk, Lin Pingqing got to the point and said, "Director Wang, I wanted to ask you about something. It's like this, a relative of my girlfriend named Chen Xiaotong seems to have gotten into some trouble and is being held at your station. We don't know what's going on, could you give me some insight?"

At this, Jenny became tense all of a sudden.

Lin Pingqing, however, remained silent, his brows gradually furrowing. After a while, he said, "So, Director Wang, this could be troublesome?... Alright, I'll think of some other ways."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Pingqing shook his head and said, "This situation is quite complicated."

"What's going on?" Jenny grabbed onto Lin Pingqing's arm.

Lin Pingqing said, "The person who made Xiaotong hit his head is called Li Xiaojun. His dad is Li Jinhe, the head of Zhenyuan Company. Now they're pursuing this matter relentlessly. Director Wang doesn't dare to act recklessly. He said unless we can appease Li Xiaojun's family, he has no way to help. Initially, I thought we could settle it with compensation, but they are insistent on taking legal action against Xiaotong, determined to put him behind bars."

Jenny immediately exclaimed in shock, "Ah, Zhenyuan Company, what should we do then?"

Shui Qinghe chimed in and asked, "Is Zhenyuan Company very powerful?"

Lin Pingqing gave a bitter smile and said, "More than just powerful, it's extremely influential. Zhenyuan is a publicly listed company with assets worth billions. I can't even get in contact with them, and they certainly won't give me any face."

Jenny urgently said, "Pingqing, you have to think of a good way. Xiaotong and I have been close since childhood, and he is the only heir of our Chen Family. He usually doesn't cause trouble. If he gets locked up, his life will be stained and his future ruined."

Lin Pingqing quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll think of another way, try to find someone who can have a word with Li Jinhe."

Seeing the two so anxious, Shui Qinghe nudged Song Xiaodong gently, looking at him pleadingly. Song Xiaodong nodded and then said, "Jenny, don't worry, this is not a big deal. I'll help you resolve it."

When Song Xiaodong said this, he wasn't trying to show off; for someone of his status, it's quite normal. But in Jenny's ears, it sounded different.

Additionally, she was particularly anxious and said hurriedly, "Thank you for your kindness, but as a university teacher from Ningjian, what connections do you have? You're just adding to the mess."

Song Xiaodong was momentarily taken aback, but Lin Pingqing, being sensible, noticed Song Xiaodong's awkwardness and quickly said, "Xiaodong, don't mind her, Jenny is just too anxious."

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "It's fine, it's fine, I understand."

Jenny then urged by saying, "Pingqing, focus on this, and quickly think of a way to save Xiaotong."

"Alright, alright." Lin Pingqing agreed and hurriedly scrolled through the contacts on his phone to see who could help in this matter.

Song Xiaodong turned to Shui Qinghe with a wry smile, and Shui Qinghe looked apologetic as well. Jenny was her friend, and using such a tone with Song Xiaodong made her feel uncomfortable. Song Xiaodong leaned over to her ear and whispered, "It's alright, I don't mind, I'll handle it."

Lin Pingqing dialed one number after another, and his face grew increasingly grim, the outcome already evident.

Although he had some money and ran a small business, and knew many people, compared to someone of Li Jinhe's level, he was just too far off.

The people he knew were mostly at his level too. For minor issues, he might have a bit of energy, but for this kind of matter, those at his level couldn't say anything. Even if he thought he knew some big shots, those big shots wouldn't remember him, which is another matter entirely.

"What should we do? What should we do?" Jenny was also extremely anxious at this moment.

Shui Qinghe quickly said, "Jenny, don't be anxious, Xiaodong knows people in Beijing who might be able to help."

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "I have a couple of former classmates who have some energy in Beijing. I'll try, though I can't guarantee anything." He also realized, speaking too confidently made them disbelieve him, so this time he spoke more modestly.
