219: For my own use
“Miss, Mr. He just woke up not long ago, and his body is gradually recovering. It’s better not to agitate him, lest his condition worsen.”
Hearing the reminder from the side, He Qianqian seemed to suddenly realize, and immediately nodded, a forced smile appearing on her face.
“Dad, it’s great that you’re fine. Don’t worry, I’m looking after the company during this time, and there won’t be any mistakes.”
Just as He Qianqian was speaking to the man, she turned around and suddenly saw Chen Tianming entering from outside.
To this day, He Qianqian still hadn't figured out why her father had fainted.
Both Chen Tianming and Du Shaokang were dangerous individuals in her eyes.
At this moment, she was deliberately keeping her distance.
“Butler, see them out!”
The butler was stunned, standing there motionless.
And Mr. He next to him let out a cold shout.
“Don't be rude!”
The next second, he actually supported his weak body directly from the bed and came straight to Chen Tianming, a fawning smile on his face.
“I’m really sorry, Chen Shao, for letting you see this. My daughter has been spoiled since childhood, and she accidentally offended you. It’s truly an accident.”
She never expected her father to be so fawning in front of Chen Tianming.
He Qianqian's eyes immediately widened, and at the same time, a hint of curiosity arose in her heart.
What is the background of this person?
“It’s alright. It’s by fate that we meet here. Now your family’s feng shui has been adjusted by me, and similar things won’t happen again in the future.”
Upon hearing that their family's peace depended entirely on Chen Tianming, the man became even more excited.
He quickly introduced him to He Qianqian.
“This is Chen Tianming, the young master of Chen's Group.”
Upon hearing this name, He Qianqian's expression immediately changed.
So the person in front of her was the famous Chen Shao!
He Qianqian had certainly heard of him.
But she had never had a chance to meet him.
Thinking of how she had just treated Chen Tianming, only shame remained in her heart.
“I’m truly sorry. I didn’t understand what was going on before and accidentally offended you. I hope you won’t hold it against me.”
After speaking, she bowed slightly.
It must be said that this woman's appearance was indeed good, and the look in her eyes now lacked the hostility from before.
Instead, it gave one a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze, and Chen Tianming immediately showed a smile on his face.
“Ignorance is no sin. Besides, you were also misled by others' words, which is why you were disrespectful to me.”
“Mr. Chen, does someone really want to harm our He family?”
After receiving a definite answer from Chen Tianming, the man's expression immediately darkened, and he couldn't describe how he felt in his heart.
“I never thought that living our peaceful lives would lead to such trouble. It truly is 'a tall tree catches the wind.' It seems we need to be more careful in the future.”
Seeing the other party's troubled expression, Chen Tianming not only offered no comfort but instead added fuel to the fire.
“To be honest, if the other party really tries to scheme against you with yin and yang and the five elements, your family will have no ability to resist and will ultimately be outsmarted by them.”
“Then what should we do?”
“I do have a very simple solution here.”
Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up.
“What method? As long as you can say it, we will definitely do it!”
“As long as your He family submits to me and becomes an affiliate of our Chen family, forming a force, I can guarantee the safety of your entire family. Of course, you must also hand over the gold-inlaid jade bracelet from your home to me.”
“No!”
Before the man could even speak, He Qianqian quickly interrupted their conversation, her expression changing.
“First, how can our family’s company be used by others? And that gold-inlaid jade bracelet is a treasure passed down through generations. How can it be easily given to others?”
She had originally thought Chen Tianming was different from that charlatan, but she didn’t expect Chen Tianming to also covet her family’s ancestral item!
“Qianqian, don’t be rude!”
Unexpectedly, Mr. He seemed like a changed man at this moment. After a moment of contemplation, he turned to Chen Tianming and nodded gently.
“If so, that would be for the best. As the saying goes, 'it's good to rest under a big tree.' If we can truly have dealings with the Chen family, I presume those people outside won't dare to provoke us anymore.”
Indeed, Mr. He was easier to talk to, and he was already somewhat swayed at this point.
“Then this matter is settled, but I have one condition: the handover must be handled by Miss He.”
“Alright, no problem.”
Soon, both parties agreed on the terms. Although He Qianqian still had some dissatisfaction in her heart, considering that Chen Tianming had truly helped her family, she could only leave her contact information.
After resolving the matter, Chen Tianming immediately left.
As he passed through the backyard, he subconsciously looked towards that direction.
Just as he thought, Du Shaokang had long since disappeared.
He probably raised his guard after Chen Tianming showed off a bit in front of him, so he took the opportunity to slip away when no one was around.
“That guy who plays tricks, I will never let him off if I see him again!”
Chen Tianming muttered softly.
“Mr. Chen, wait.”
Suddenly, a girl's silver-bell-like voice came from behind him.
Chen Tianming turned his head and saw He Qianqian walking out of the house.
She was holding a box in her hands, and when she came before Chen Tianming, her demeanor was much better than before.
“I’ve thought it over. As long as our family can be safe and sound, these things aren’t that important anymore. I apologize for not having considered that earlier.”
Listening to He Qianqian’s words, Chen Tianming merely waved his hand and said nothing more.
“I still need some time to organize things on the company’s side. As soon as there’s a lead, I’ll contact you immediately. As for this, please take it back for now.”
After He Qianqian finished speaking, she immediately handed over the box in her hand. It was a very exquisite wooden brocade box.
“I still need to handle things at the company, so I’ll be leaving now.”
With that, He Qianqian hurried off to attend to her matters.
Chen Tianming watched her figure disappear into the distance, then unhurriedly opened the box in his hand.
The item in the box emitted a warm glow under the sunlight. The mutton-fat jade texture was exceptionally captivating, and a golden thread coiled around it, gradually forming a phoenix pattern from the initial strands.
This gold-inlaid jade bracelet was indeed a treasure. Just holding it in one's hand could make one feel its exquisite beauty.
Even if this item had no spiritual energy, it could still be called a rare treasure in the world.
What's more, there was a great mystery within it!
