Shi Qian looked at Huo Fei and smiled.
âBrother Ci asked me to pick you up. Letâs go.â
âWhy would he want to see me?â Shi Qian asked again.
âHe didnât say anything over the phone. He just asked me to pick you up.â
Shi Qian immediately sat in the car.
Huo Fei closed the door and went back to the driverâs seat.
The two left together.
Shi Qian opened the game on her phone and asked, âWhatâs Jiang Ci doing?â
âHe still has some things to deal with. When heâs up, heâll return to the guild hall. We should be there around the same time.â
Shi Qian stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Huo Fei. âDealing with family matters? Has someone made a move recently?â
Huo Fei sighed. âIt hadnât stopped since last year. Recently, Jiang Chen doesnât dare to come openly, but there are still others.â
âHowever, wealthy families were always like this. They would always fight for benefits and never stop fighting. Since Brother Ci had chosen this path, he was destined not to live a peaceful life.â
âYes. 1 understand.â Shi Qian sighed softly.
Indeed, as long as one was in a wealthy and influential family, the struggle would never cease to be relevant.
She remembered that during a period two years ago. Shang Sizhan went out early and returned late almost every day. He was always busy with a bunch of things.
He had to go on business trips every two or three days and had experienced countless assassinations.
Fortunately, he had successfully become the head of the Shang family. At least, critics and haters no longer dare to publicly knock him down and harm him, although secret enemies and detractors ruin him in private.
âForget it. Letâs not talk about this. Oh, Sister Qian, where have you been these past few days?â
âNinth Province.â Shi Qian replied.
âYou went with Master Zhan?â
âYes, I did.â
âThen you must have had a lot of fun.â
âWe had fun.â Shi Qian smiled.
She was utterly happy during her half-month vacation in the Ninth Province. She even learned how to fly a helicopter.
Soon, the two arrived at Jiang Ciâs car beauty salon.
No one was in the office upstairs.
The two looked around but did not see Jiang Ci.
âIt seems like he hadnât arrived yet.â
Shi Qian walked to the sofa and sat down comfortably. âItâs fine. Letâs wait a while.â
Huo Fei nodded and asked, âWhat do you want to drink? Iâll get it for you.â
âIâm okay. Iâm not thirsty.â
âThen 1â11 take it for you.â With that, Huo Fei turned around and walked out.
Shi Qian leaned back on the sofa and continued to play games.
At this moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was Han Yuanfeng.
âHello, Uncle Han.â
âQianqian, are you out of the country? When are you coming back?â Han Yuanfeng asked.
âI just came back yesterday.â
âYouâre back!â Delight engulfed Han Yuanfengâs voice. âThatâs great! Itâs all thanks to your help last time. Since youâre back, 1 can thank you now.â
âUncle Han, you donât have to be so polite.â
âIâm not being polite to you. Youâve provided us with paramount help, so itâs only right to thank you.â Minister Han paused for a moment. He suddenly thought of something and said, âOh, Director Bai also mentioned you in the past. She said that she wanted to see you.â
The smile on Shi Qianâs face suddenly froze when she heard this. There was a deafening silence. She said, âUncle Han, you donât have to thank me. Also, Iâve been busy recently and donât have time to see anyone. Iâm sorry.â
âI see. Thatâs alright,â Han Yuanfeng said dejectedly. âYou can proceed with your work. Weâll meet again when you have time.â
âAlright.â
Shi Qian hung up the phone. Huo Fei had just returned.
Huo Fei thought that Jiang Ci had called Shi Qian.. He asked, âIs that Brother Ci? How long until he arrives?â
