showdown

Chen Xiao: "......"

"No need to worry, my body is very good."

The reason for this arrangement was that there was no other way; if they stayed too far away, all their time would be spent on the road.

It was better to stay in the same Hotel, so everyone could be taken care of.

Most importantly, with the cultivation method given by Half-Immortal Huang as a foundation, it was time to test its miraculous effects.

The Jinning business world was in turmoil.

The conflict between the Yan Family father and daughter affected more than just their family.

As the leading enterprise in Jinning, its relationship with many local businesses was deeply intertwined.

Some people believed that Yan Bingqin's resignation from so many corporate positions meant she had lost Yan Zhiyuan's trust.

Those who had previously bet on her becoming the future heir of Atlantic Capital Group began to side with Yan Yanyan.

Yan Bingqin, however, was indifferent to this.

Because human hearts are unpredictable, no one can accurately guess the thoughts and plans in others' hearts.

No matter how smart outsiders were, they didn't know her true intentions.

Even Chen Xiao didn't know much.

At Zijing Manor, in Yan Bingqin's villa, Zhang Ting sat opposite her.

"Is your recent hosting work going smoothly?"

Facing Yan Bingqin, Zhang Ting was not as nervous as before, nodding and smiling, "Mm, thanks to the resources Sister Qin introduced to me."

Yan Bingqin said, "That was just a test for you. I have some shares in Dayang Film and Television Group. Although I've resigned from my director position, I can still arrange jobs for a few people."

Zhang Ting was stunned. Dayang Film and Television Group was a large enterprise, ranking among the top in the industry.

It included Dayang Film and Television Production Company, Dayang Film and Television Distribution Company, and Dayang Theatre Chains.

While it couldn't be said to occupy half of the entertainment industry, it certainly held significant weight.

If she received strong support from this company, coupled with her own skill, she would definitely become a famous program host!

Zhang Ting's breathing became a little rapid from excitement.

She immediately stood up and bowed, "Thank you, Sister Qin."

Yan Bingqin smiled, "Don't rush to thank me. Sit down and talk."

Zhang Ting immediately sat up straight, knowing that getting this opportunity probably wouldn't be so easy.

Yan Bingqin continued, "A career isn't the most important thing for you. Your primary task is to please Chen Xiao, understand?"

Zhang Ting was a little conflicted. Yan Bingqin had made it very clear from the beginning, and this was also why she could be associated with a big shot like her.

But... she also didn't want to offend Chen Xiao.

After all, for Chen Xiao, she not only had financial aspirations but also an admiration for his abilities in certain areas...

If possible in the future, she hoped to develop a long-term relationship as his lover...

Seeing her hesitation, Yan Bingqin understood what was going on and said, "Don't worry, I won't ask you to do anything that would harm Chen Xiao."

"If I did that, not only you but even I would lose his trust."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ting felt much more at ease.

Yan Bingqin continued to explain, "He has many women around him. I just hope to have one of my own people by his side."

"Sister Qin, don't worry, I will work hard."

Yan Bingqin nodded, "Just working hard isn't enough. I've found two teachers for you..."

After saying that, she snapped her fingers at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan nodded and brought in two alluring women from the side.

They clearly looked like they had been through a lot and were promiscuous.

Zhang Ting was bewildered, "Tea-teachers???"

"Yes, men like women who are dignified outside and wild at home. You don't need to learn dignity; your profession naturally cultivates that kind of temperament. As for the other aspect... the teachers are right there."

"......" Zhang Ting.

Even the way those two women stood made Zhang Ting, also a woman, blush slightly.

She wondered where Yan Bingqin had found such talents.

"Go on."

"Oh..."

Zhang Ting walked away with the two women, a conflicted look on her face.

Only then did Yan Bingqin let out a sigh of relief.

Although she appeared calm on the surface, she was also very embarrassed inside.

"Little ingrate, do you know how good I am to you?"

In the next room.

Zhang Ting's shy, pretty face looked as if it could drip water.

She had truly experienced the skills of a big shot who had been in the romantic scene for over a decade.

This kind of thing...

It was simply... mortifying!

Could this... be used on Chen Xiao?

......

Sun Ying bought a hard sleeper ticket back to Jinning herself.

She only told Chen Xiao after she arrived.

Naturally, she couldn't avoid Chen Xiao's scolding, plus punishment.

"No need to save money. When you graduate, I'll arrange for you to soar directly!"

"......" Sun Ying.

Sun Ying, as always, knew how to capture Chen Xiao's heart.

Just a few words could stir his emotions.

......

The two leaned on a lounge chair by the Hotel's floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking at the scenery outside, Sun Ying pouted, "You always book such expensive Hotels."

Chen Xiao caressed her cheek and said, "So what? If you make me angry enough, I'll just buy it."

"......" Sun Ying.

Sun Ying gave Chen Xiao the feeling of a gentle and considerate senior sister.

Even though she thought he was boasting, her eyes still held an admiring gaze, playing along.

To give her a surprise, Chen Xiao didn't say too much, choosing instead to act...

The next day,

When Chen Xiao opened his eyes, Sun Ying was already gone.

"She can still get up?"

"It seems I need to increase the intensity of the punishment next time."

In fact, Sun Ying also forced herself to get up, because she had arranged to settle things with Xing Yanqing today, to have a complete showdown.

After much thought during this time, Sun Ying decided to dedicate the last year of university to herself and Chen Xiao.

To bring a perfect end to her incomplete university life.

So she planned to end her dealings with Xing Yanqing early, to escape that outwardly glamorous but inwardly dark and dirty circle, and return to campus life.

For her deceased best friend, Sun Ying could only say she was sorry.

Once her job was stable, she would go to her hometown to find her mother, to repay the kindness of saving her from the pyramid scheme den.

Sun Ying was afraid that Xing Yanqing would resort to desperate measures, so she specifically arranged the meeting at a coffee shop in a busy downtown area.

Xing Yanqing hadn't seen Sun Ying for a whole summer and missed her terribly, although he had found many other women during this period.

But how could they compare to a pure, innocent university student?

Today, no matter what, he had to win her over.

"Yingying, you don't know how much I've missed you during this time. Let me tell you, many girls wanted to ask me out, but I rejected them all."

Sun Ying snorted coldly in her heart. If I didn't know what kind of person you are, I would have almost believed you.

She deliberately feigned a worried look, "Sigh, I'm almost worried to death."

Xing Yanqing was stunned, "What's wrong?"

Sun Ying said angrily, "Didn't I take an elective law course? The teacher insists we analyze classic cases. Have you heard of... the Jinning University female student falling from a building case two years ago?"

"......" Xing Yanqing.

"Uh... Ah? No, I haven't heard of it. Why do you ask?"
