Chapter 224

In a hotel suite on the Bund in Shanghai, Liu Qianqian curled up on a single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Shu Chang did not go back to the hotel with her tonight, but stayed at Ji Yu's house.

Liu Qianqian was envious of Shu Chang's ability to trust Ji Yu so much and let him stay at his house alone.

No one even thought there was a problem.

But if it were her, she definitely wouldn't dare.

She recalled that Chen Jingfei had taken her out to a drinking party last month.

On the way back, Chen Jingfei pretended to be drunk and touched her leg.
She was terrified; her body froze and she couldn't move at all.

My body gradually recovered after I got home, but the fear in my heart has lingered until now.

She dared not stay at Chen Jingfei's house any longer.

But now they are worried that the other party will retaliate against them, mother and daughter.

Having lived with Chen Jingfei for several years, she knew very well that Chen Jingfei was not a good person.

She used to think that Chen Jingfei was at least nice to her.

But after what happened last time, I realized that it was all an illusion.

Looking back, I realized that Chen Jingfei had treated me very differently from a long time ago.

She wasn't his biological daughter, nor was she a boy. He was so good to her; did he really not want anything in return?

Only I was foolish enough to believe it before.

At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Liu Xiaoli walked out, drying her wet hair.

She walked behind Liu Qianqian, placed her hands on her shoulders, and felt a slight tremor under her palms.

"Sisi, what's wrong?"

She guessed what her daughter was thinking, but not wanting her to worry, she changed the subject, saying, "Look how beautiful the river view is in Shanghai. We'll live in Shanghai from now on."

Liu Qianqian turned around, her little face filled with unease: "But what about my godfather?"

"Stop calling him godfather."

Liu Xiaoli interrupted her, gently touching her face and saying, "It's okay, I didn't tell him. It'll be fine after we sign the contract."

Liu Qianqian bit her lower lip and nodded, her eyes glistening with tears.

Liu Xiaoli stroked her daughter tenderly; her sixteen-year-old body had already grown thin, yet she was still trembling in her arms.

"Mom has already found out everything."

Liu Xiaoli stroked her daughter's long hair and comforted her, "Ji Yu has a powerful background. Even city leaders came to see him that day. Chen Jingfei didn't dare to come and cause trouble."

"What if he contacts you?"

"It's alright, don't worry." A determined glint flashed in Liu Xiaoli's eyes. "I'm not one to be trifled with!"

Liu Qianqian suddenly grabbed her hand, her eyes filled with worry.

"Don't worry, Mom knows what she's doing."

Liu Xiaoli cupped her face and smiled, "From now on, just do what you like happily. Look at Shu Chang, that girl is so happy every day now."

When Liu Qianqian recalled how Shu Chang had been jumping around happily at Ji Yu's house today, a glimmer of light finally appeared in her eyes.

The mother and daughter snuggled together and talked until midnight before finally falling into a deep sleep.

But what they didn't know was that Chen Jingfei considered them his own, so how could he trust them to come to Shanghai alone to sign the contract?

Unless he accidentally goes in one of these days, no one can touch them!

In a villa in Beijing, Chen Jingfei stood in front of the kennel and threw in a piece of raw beef.

Five Doberman Pinschers were tearing at each other, their fangs gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

He stared blankly, only the occasional twitching of the muscles at the corner of his eye betraying his emotions.

After feeding all the meat in his hands, he wiped the blood off his hands, took out his phone, and dialed his secretary's number.

"Book the earliest flight to Shanghai, and have Qiangzi bring a few people with me."

He hung up the phone and suddenly grabbed a piece of beef leg bone from the side and slammed it into the kennel.

A Doberman Pinscher was smashed to the ground and convulsed, while the remaining dogs attacked and bit it frantically. The creaking of the iron cage was particularly jarring in the quiet night.

The butler stood five meters away, not daring to breathe.

A few hours later, Chen Jingfei reverted to his elite businessman persona and sat in the back seat of the Maybach.

Only when the window was raised did he reveal a sinister smile.

Those eyes looked just like the ones of the dogs he kept.

"Liu Xiaoli, Liu Qianqian".

He stroked the leather seat, recalling the feeling of touching Liu Qianqian's thigh when he pretended to be drunk that day.

"Two ungrateful wretches!"

At this moment, in Ji Yu's master bedroom, Huo Wenxi was wrapped in a silk bathrobe and leaning against the headboard, with a laptop on her lap.

Ji Yu came out of the bathroom drying his hair and saw her with her brows furrowed. He laughed and jumped onto the bed.

"Mr. Huo, you're already working right after you got up. Are you trying to get me to give you a raise?"

He reached out to tickle her waist, but Huo Wenxi pushed him away with her elbow.

"Stop it! Why didn't you tell me about Liu Qianqian?"

Ji Yu scratched his head in confusion. "What have I been hiding from you?"

"Why didn't you tell me about her godfather?" Huo Wenxi turned the computer around; it displayed some news reports.

Huo Wenxi hadn't paid much attention to Liu Qianqian before; who would pay attention to a young girl who had just debuted?

Moreover, she wasn't in mainland China before, so she couldn't see these trivial news reports.

Ji Yu thought it was something serious and said with a smile, "It's nothing important, why would I hide it from you?"

Huo Wenxi chuckled, then suddenly turned cold and said, "You stole someone's mother and daughter flowers, and he won't come after you?"

Ji Yu glared at her and reached out to grab her a few times as revenge.

What kind of person do they take him for?

Huo Wenxi blushed, slapped his hand away, and opened an email on her computer containing some information about Chen Jingfei.

Ji Yu craned his neck to glance around and joked, "President Huo is impressive! You've established such a network of connections in mainland China so quickly?"

"Don't interrupt."

Huo Wenxi glared at him, shut down the computer, and said, "This kind of person won't give up easily. I'm worried he'll cause trouble."

Ji Yu lay down nonchalantly: "What can he do to me in Shanghai? Even if I go to Beijing, he wouldn't dare to do anything to me. Besides, who stole his and his daughter's flowers! That's just nonsense!"

Huo Wenxi narrowed her eyes at him: "Are you sure you really haven't thought about it?"

"Go away, stop slandering me. I'm a womanizer, not a pervert."

Huo Wenxi couldn't help but laugh and deliberately said, "In that case, I won't care anymore, I'll just take another beauty nap."

"what ever."

Ji Yu got up to put on his clothes, then stopped and looked back at her, saying, "But since Liu Qianqian wants to sign a contract with us, we still need to help her out."

Otherwise, if word gets out, how will the company do business in the future? Besides, if I don't help her, Shu Chang will hold a grudge against me for the rest of her life.

Huo Wenxi rolled her eyes at him and snorted, saying, "You should worry about yourself!"

"Okay, I'll come back for lunch!"

Ji Yu walked into the dressing room as he spoke.

Huo Wenxi thought for a while and realized that Liu Qianqian and the others might indeed be in danger.

These days, how many people in the real estate business are good people?

Which construction site doesn't have a few deaths from demolition to completion?

She took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Manager Li, it's me. Before 8:30, send a few people to pick up the people for me, and also bring a few more people to Magic Language Records."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Wenxi couldn't help but tilt his head and smile. Having your own security company is awesome!

There aren't many people in the company yet, but once there are more, she'll need to take eight or ten people with her when she goes out!
I'll bring a few with me next time I go back to Hong Kong!
Let those rich ladies in Hong Kong see what true wealth is!
At 6:30 a.m., more than 30 men stood in neat rows at the training ground of Hongxing Security Company.

They still maintain the same routines and lifestyles as they did in the military.

Manager Li Jianguo paced back and forth in front of the team with his hands behind his back, his muscles taut beneath his training uniform.

"The new boss has assigned tasks; it's time for us to show our abilities!"

He looked at all his comrades with a serious expression, thought for a while, and then began to call roll.

"Wang Hu, Xiao Qian, Lu Tao."

He looked at the group of energetic young men in front of him, then suddenly grinned and said:
"Don't say I didn't take care of you. You guys go to the Peace Hotel to pick up people."

"Does the big star Wang Yuyan know how lucky you all are? Perform well, and don't let your eyes linger on women! If you behave well, we'll add more people later, and you can have your fun as class monitors!"

"Yes!" The young men grinned so hard their teeth almost showed.

Manager Li then looked at the remaining people and continued to assign tasks, selecting a few skilled individuals to accompany him to Magic Language Records.

The rest will stay at the company to continue training, and we'll also recruit some people!

The boss wants to expand the company!

Once everyone was ready, Li Jianguo slammed his fist into his palm and shouted, "Everyone, perk up! Let's show President Huo what professionalism looks like! We're definitely no worse than the security companies in Hong Kong!"

The veterans responded in unison, their voices making the glass vibrate.

They didn't know the specific tasks, but it was the first time the newly acquired company had been on duty, and everyone was eager to get started.

They still remember the day Huo Wenxi came to acquire the company.

He criticized the company from beginning to end.

At first, I thought she wanted to bargain, but Huo Wenxi ended up not talking about the price at all.

It seems like they came here from the very beginning intending to criticize them!
Today I must prove to her what it means to be the elite of the elite!

As the security guards set off with great fanfare, Ji Yu also got dressed and prepared to leave.

As I came out of the dressing room, I saw Shu Chang rubbing his eyes as he staggered out of the guest room.

Her pajamas had a crooked neckline, revealing half of her shoulder, so she was probably a restless sleeper.

"Good morning, brother," she said, yawning as she reached for the kitchen, parched with thirst.

Ji Yu smiled and walked over to ruffle her hair: "Drink less sugary drinks and more milk."

Shu Chang nodded, clutching the juice bottle, then suddenly remembered something: "Where's Sister Wenxi? Is she up yet?"

"Get up, you can ask her to have breakfast with you."

"Oh yeah!"

Ji Yu looked at her with surprise, "Then why are you starting?"

Shu Chang chuckled and said infatuatedly, "Sister Wenxi is so amazing, so beautiful, and so elegant! I like her so much!"

"Like you my foot!" Ji Yu tapped her and walked out.

"I have work this morning, I'll come back at noon and take you all out for lunch."

He glanced back before the door closed.

Shu Chang stood in the morning light and waved to him, like a carefree little sun.

She's much more cheerful than before. Her previous smiles were all an act; she pretended to be sociable and cheerful.

I'm really cheerful now.

A smile appeared on Ji Yu's lips. Actually, having a younger sister is really great.

I felt much better when I went to work this morning.

I hope everything goes smoothly today. The municipal projects are really difficult to handle; they're incredibly troublesome.

9:30 a.m., Magic Language Records.

Liu Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but look back as they entered the company.

The security guards who came to pick them up were standing at the door, patrolling around instead of coming in.

This scene made Liu Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli feel safe.

A dozen minutes later in the company's recording studio, Liu Qianqian absentmindedly strummed the guitar strings.

Shu Chang waved two vinyl records in front of her: "Xixi! Sixth Brother said these are autographed by Queen!"

"Huh? Oh?" ​​Liu Qianqian forced a smile, but she still had something on her mind.

Shu Chang put down the record and suddenly leaned closer to her: "Are you regretting it?"

Liu Qianqian's fingers trembled, and the strings emitted a piercing buzz.

Looking into Shu Chang's clear eyes, she reached out and took her hand, saying, "Changchang, I'm afraid my godfather will come looking for me. I'm afraid Mom will..."

Shu Chang grasped her cold fingers in his hand, interrupting her, "Don't be afraid! Brother Ji Yu will protect us!"

She blinked and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "And Sister Wenxi is amazing! You know about Zeng Zhiwei being sent to the hospital, right? I'll let you in on a secret, it's related to Sister Wenxi!"

Liu Qianqian wanted to laugh but couldn't, and that's what makes it so scary.

The consequences for the crimes committed by the wealthy are far too lenient.

I used to only think about running, but now I realize that it's not as easy as it seems.

She thought of the dogs Chen Jingfei kept, which bared their teeth and howled at the sight of people, and even being kept in cages couldn't hide their ferocity.

In Huo Wenxi's office, she pushed the contract in front of Liu Xiaoli.

"Let's double-check. All the agreed-upon conditions are written here, and they're the same for both Shu Chang and Xi Xi."

Liu Xiaoli flipped through the contract, but couldn't help looking up and asking, "President Huo, why did you suddenly send someone to pick us up today? Did Chen Jingfei contact you? Did he say something nonsense? Is Qianqian..."

"I don't know any Chen Jingfei, and I don't care."

Huo Wenxi interrupted her by picking up his coffee, took a small sip, and smiled, saying, "I just never wrong my artists."

Touched, Liu Xiaoli sincerely said, "Thank you. Really."

"No need to thank me, it's all because Shu Chang asked Ji Yu to plead for him."

After Huo Wenxi finished speaking, he gave her a meaningful look.

Liu Xiaoli realized that this was a reminder to remember Shu Chang's favor.

No, that's not right. This is a reminder that from now on, the positions of the mother and daughter and Shu Chang will be reversed.

But both Xixi and I have always been very good to Shuchang.

Regardless, I should still remember this favor.

She smiled and said, "Shu Chang is just like my own daughter, I will treat her well."

Huo Wenxi nodded noncommittally, pressed the intercom button, and said, "Have Liu Qianqian come over to sign the contract."

Outside the gate of the Magic Language Company, Chen Jingfei's Mercedes-Benz convoy was parked roughly diagonally on the sidewalk.

As he slammed the car door shut, his custom-made leather shoes made a crisp sound on the steps.

More than a dozen people got out of the cars behind him and stood behind him.

Chen Jingfei felt a little regretful. If they were in a less crowded place, he would have taken the person away directly.

He glanced at the words "Magic Language Records" and walked over.

More than a dozen burly, carefree men immediately followed.

The Red Star security guards at the company entrance had already come to greet us.

What are you doing?

"They're here to discuss business." Chen Jingfei smiled calmly, and was about to walk around when he suddenly heard Shu Chang's voice.

"Security guard! He's here to cause trouble! Don't let him in!"

Shu Chang hid behind the company gate, staring at Chen Jingfei with a mixture of fear and excitement.

Chen Jingfei, standing outside the door, was furious. How dare this orphan Shu Chang go against him!
Shu Chang made a provocative face, thinking to himself that it was lucky he was craving something and wanted to go out to buy something, otherwise Chen Jingfei would have sneaked in!
If he comes in, how will Sisi sign the contract?

Shu Chang is proud of her love of food!
