Chapter 1131 What Did He Teach Me?!

“You’re back.”

Because Fang Qiu had called in advance and asked the staff to pick him up at the airport, He Xue already knew that he was coming back and was not too surprised to see him.

“Eh, are you leaving?” Fang Qiu asked.

“H’m.”

He Xue nodded and said, “I have to settle some stuff in the capital.”

“Oh,” Fang Qiu nodded knowingly.

“I’ll leave the company’s affairs to you for the next few days. I’ve already made some arrangements, so it shouldn’t be a big deal,” He Xue said.

“Okay.”

Fang Qiu nodded and replied, “Drive safely.”

Soon, He Xue packed up her things and left.

As for Fang Qiu, he returned to his office, ready to enjoy a good vacation.

After all, he had suddenly burst into the limelight and was widely known. It would only be chaotic if he were to go out now. it would be better for him to take a vacation and let his precious psyche be completely serene as he looked forward to gaining a more comprehensive and profound understanding of his cultivation.

That afternoon, He Xue returned to the capital.

First, she went to the Three Billion Foundation. Then she booked a room in a hotel, ready to have a good rest tonight.

“I… I’d better go out for a walk.” At night, He Xue decided otherwise.

Originally she planned to stay in her hotel room and didn’t intend to go anywhere. However, there seemed to be something bothering her, which gave her a headache. The longer she stared at the four walls of the hotel room, the more confined she felt, almost to the point of suffocation.

He Xue sighed softly.

She walked out of the hotel and strolled on the street.

While wandering along the empty street, she felt a lot more relaxed.

It was already an hour after midnight, so hardly anyone was out on the street.

He Xue sauntered along, lost in her thoughts.

Tomorrow, she had to do one thing. It had caused her a great deal of distress for a long time. Now, it was time to make a decision.

Somehow, she had strolled into a dark alley. Perhaps it was because He Xue was too engrossed in her thoughts. On the other end of this alley was an entertainment street with many lively bars, Karaoke bars and many other drinking outlets.

She approached the exit.

“Patter, patter, patter…”

Suddenly, she heard the sound of hurrying footsteps.

In an instant, He Xue was aroused from her deep thoughts.

She looked about alertly.

Three young men who looked like gangsters popped up, their breaths thick with alcohol fumes and their faces scarlet. It was obvious that they were drunk.

“Hey, girl?”

“Dude, look, a chick! Did she follow us out of the bar?”

“I bet she likes us.”

While talking, they chuckled lubriciously and went straight toward He Xue.

“Stay away from me!”

He Xue backed away hastily with a petrified look on her face.

“Oops, she wants to run away?” They pointed at He Xue and said.

The look of terror on her face raised their spirits, and they uttered some lewd suggestions. Then they came up close, intending to make a move on her!

The virulence of their intention appalled her.

The three men darted forward and closed in on her. There was no way for He Xue to escape. In a state of panic, her mind went completely blank. Suddenly, she recalled what Fang Qiu had taught her at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. Without hesitating, she closed her eyes and raised her hands to fight.

“Pa, pa, pa…”

A burst of claps sounded.

“Ahhhhh…”

Screams resounded from the dark alley.

Outside the alley, someone heard the screams and immediately called the police.

Because this area was notoriously unsafe, many police officers were already patrolling about the vicinity. Shortly after someone called the police, police sirens could be heard. Then a police car screeched to a halt at the alley entrance, and two policemen dashed out into the alley, carrying their flashlights.

Soon, another police car arrived.

A few policemen, carrying three men, got in the car with a woman and headed for the police station.

“How did you beat them up like this?”

At the police station, He Xue, who had been interrogated, sat before the interrogation desk with an innocent look. Looking at the surveillance video transferred by the police, she blushed and lowered her head, saying, “I, I have learned kung fu, but I have never used it before. I was forced to do it today.”

“Kung fu?”

When the policeman heard this, his eyes immediately widened in surprise and said, “I didn’t expect that you, a young girl, would be a kung fu expert.”

“You flatter me. I don’t deserve that.”

He Xue lowered her head and cupped her hands in a fist salute to the police.

But she was secretly shocked.

“Three burly men!

“Although they were all drunk, they hadn’t yet drunk themselves into a stupor. But partially drunk men could be much fiercer than usual.

“Did I really beat these three drunk bastards down onto the ground? They were all huddled together, too scared to open their eyes?”

The more He Xue thought about it, the more speechless she became.

“I was too violent, wasn’t I?”

“That’s all right.”

The policeman saluted He Xue and said, “It’s not your fault. We will admonish and educate them. But you have beaten them up, after all. You have to give a statement to explain the situation before leaving.”

“Okay.”

He Xue obediently gave them the necessary information and was then sent back to the hotel by the police.

Back at the hotel, she was still blushing with embarrassment.

“I’m usually such a gentle person. How could I do such a violent thing?”

“And in a dark alley?

“If there wasn’t a surveillance camera, would I have been mistaken for a criminal?”

“What did Fang Qiu teach me?”

Thinking of what he had taught her under the snow-capped mountain, He Xue couldn’t help shaking her hand using her full strength. Though she felt a little disgusted, she was stunned.

Sure enough, she was an ambitious woman eager to excel, but only when doing business as a professional. Aside from business, she was an amiable lady, hard on the outside, yet soft on the inside.

…

After getting up the next day, He Xue hurried to the most luxurious commercial center in the capital. She wandered there for several hours and finally chose a particularly beautiful and expensive jade ring.

Finally, she went to a heavily guarded gate of a quadrangle courtyard with very few people around.

“Hiss…”

He Xue took a deep breath and walked into the courtyard.

As soon as He Xue entered the door, she saw an elder in plain clothes walking in the yard, looking for something.

“Grandpa.”

When she saw him, He Xue greeted him.

The elder turned his head and glanced at He Xue. Then he said with a smile, “Oh, you’ve come back, finally.”

“Today is your birthday. How could I not come back?”

He Xue stepped forward, held his arm, and congratulated him, “Grandpa, happy birthday. I wish you a healthy and carefree life for as long as you live.”

“Good, good, good.”

The elder smiled while patting her hand. Then he walked to a flowerbed, picked up a pair of scissors nearby, and began trimming the potted plants there.

He Xue stayed by his side and helped him to take care of those plants.

Subsequently, many more people came to the house.

Everyone was decked out splendidly in clothes which were worth at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan.

They all carried gifts in their hands.

When these people stepped into the courtyard, they looked very surprised to see He Xue. It seemed that none of them had expected her to return. Nevertheless, no one asked about it.

Then it was evening.

At dinner time, a large table full of delicious dishes was placed in the middle of the courtyard.

The elder sat on the seat of honor with He Xue beside him. With great pleasure, he said to everyone present, “Today, I am very happy, not only because today is my birthday, but because my good granddaughter has finally come back.”

He paused and turned to look at He Xue. Then he continued, “Those years when you’re away, I have been paying close attention to you. You have indeed done your job very well. Especially this year, you’ve made great achievements in the business world and expanded your business into the international markets. All of this proves I was right: you are really capable!”

He Xue smiled but did not say anything.

“Xue?”

At this moment, a bearded, bespectacled middle-aged man looked at He Xue with a smile and said, “I have something to discuss with you. Now that you are a senior executive of the Renyi Group, I guess you have a great say in the group. Well, may I ask you if we can buy in? After all, we are family.”

All of a sudden, all the eyes of those rich relatives with extravagant tastes who were at the table lit up when they heard his request.

They all knew very well what it meant.

The Renyi Group was a business on a massive industrial scale, and it was at its high-speed development period. Anyone who held some shares would get unimaginably substantial benefits!

“Second Uncle, I merely hold a decent title in our group. In fact, I am just one of the many employees working for my boss. It is even more impossible for me to have the right to decide. After all, the Renyi Group is different from other companies,” He Xue said.

“But it’s negotiable, isn’t it?”

Her Second Uncle shook his head in disbelief and said with a smile, “In the business world, changes can be readily made; Situations can easily be reversed. As long as you agree, it can be done.”

“Situations can easily be reversed?”

Hearing this, He Xue couldn’t help laughing.

Although Fang Qiu, the chairman of the group, didn’t handle the business affairs, she was very clear that he was the reason for the group’s success. Fang Qiu, who was powerful and had considerable prestige, was of vital importance to the group. Issues about shares would never be his concern.

As long as he was willing to, he could simply leave this group to someone else and open another company. By doing so, he wouldn’t lose out at all. On the contrary, he would earn much more money!

“All right, all right.”

The elder waved his hand to stop everyone from talking and said, “Today is a family gathering. So, don’t talk about business. I don’t want to hear it.”

His words silenced everyone.

It seemed that his prestige among them was still very high.

“Since it concerns our family matters, I’d like to say something.”

Looking at He Xue, the elder said, “You’re mature enough for marriage. Since you’re back, stay here and find yourself a husband. Nothing is more important than marriage.”

As soon as he finished speaking, those people at the table immediately joined in to try and persuade her. It seemed that they all expected her to get married soon.

He Xue didn’t say anything about it, but the expression on her face gradually changed.

At last, the gathering came to an end, which freed her from her prolonged state of agony.

“Grandpa, I’m not feeling too good. I will go back and rest first.”

He Xue said goodbye to her grandpa and was ready to leave.

“Wait a minute.”

The elder stopped He Xue and said, “But you haven’t answered me. Will you leave after getting married?”
