Chapter 124: Chapter 124: President Tian Who is Ignorant of Life and Death_1

Zhu Qing realized she had misspoken when she saw the look on Li Peichi and Dong Qian’s faces and her face quickly turned crimson.

Under their glaring gaze, she quickly made up an excuse, saying: "That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that this guy becomes increasingly shameless and keeps taking advantage of us. We must show him some colors."

"I agree." Grabbing Zhang Xian’s ear, Li Peichi said angrily, "Get up!"

Zhang Xian shot up and said, "Hey, calm down, it’s just a slap on your butt! I’ve gotta save Elder Sister Shaoyun! Let me go, or you’ll waste my time."

Li Peichi was livid, "I’ve met shameless people before but none of them are as shameless as you. Taking advantage of a girl, and you even think you’re in the right?"

"Chill, you’re just making a mountain out of a molehill." Zhang Xian made a face, sticking his butt out and said, "Okay, fair enough, you can slap my butt and take some advantage."

"Why don’t you just drop dead!" Li Peichi kicked him in the butt.

She hadn’t known Zhang Xian for a long time and was unaware of his past. As far as she was concerned, Zhang Xian was an out-and-out rogue who had tried to get fresh with her many times.

"Darn it, brother-in-law, you sure made us look for you!"

Suddenly, Gao Longfei, Shen Nanshan, and Xu Lei rushed in, their expressions making them look like thirsty men who had just seen a naked man.

"Uh... why are you guys here?" Zhang Xian took a step back, saying, "Stop there, all three of you."

"Freakin’..." Gao Longfei was annoyed, "Boss, this ain’t fair! You moved and didn’t even tell us. We even went to the Humanity Clinic looking for you."

Zhang Xian asked, "Something you needed me for?"

Xu Lei chuckled, "Just haven’t seen you for a while, missed you, right?"

Zhang Xian rolled his eyes, "Be careful with your words, don’t ruin my pure reputation."

Li Peichi grunted with disgust and said, "Some people really think too highly of themselves. Even with his lecherous looks, he still calls himself pure! He can only fool those innocent girls."

"Hey..." Zhu Qing was upset, "Peichi, what do you mean by that? You think me and Qianqian are ignorant?"

Li Peichi shook her head, "No, I was just throwing shade at him."

"Pretty lady..." Suddenly, Shen Nanshan swooped in front of Li Peichi, flipping his hair and asked, "Don’t you think I’m handsome? Don’t I look classy?"

Li Peichi shot Shen Nanshan a disdainful glance, and said, "Scram, stop trying to show off in front of me."

Shen Nanshan was taken aback. She looked quiet and demure but had a fiery temper, replete with expletives.

"Nanshan! That girl is your sis!" Zhang Xian laughed and said, "Alright, enough chit-chat, Elder Sister Shaoyun is waiting for me. Since you guys are here, why not come with me and check?"

Shen Nanshan glanced at Dong Qian, then Zhu Qing, and finally at Li Peichi, getting depressed. Why are all the pretty ones my sisters?

......

In a breakfast shop, Mo Shaoyun was expressionlessly looking at the boastful boss across her, not uttering a word.

Xiao Nan sat aside, with a hint of ridicule in her beautiful eyes. The poor guy was acting haughty just because he owned a small company, blissfully unaware that the beautiful woman he was trying to impress used to be the CEO of Tiannan Group in Yanjing, the sole heir to the Mo family, controlling an extraordinary wealth, and could squash his little company a thousand times over with minimal effort.

"Er... " President Tian spoke for a while and then frowned, "Why aren’t you saying anything?"

Xiao Nan smiled and said, "President Tian, it’s fine if you’re the only one talking. We’re listening."

"Um..." President Tian hesitated and then smiled, "Well, Secretary Xiao, can you do me a favor and buy me a pack of cigarettes?"

Xiao Nan knew that President Tian was trying to send her away. After checking her phone, she stood up and asked, "Sure, can I ask what kind of cigarettes does President Tian usaully smoke?"

President Tian took out a bill from his wallet, "Buy a pack of Furongwang, spare the change."

Xiao Nan took the money and walked out.

At the door, she saw a Bentley pulling up. She immediately walked over and knocked on the window, "Zhang Xian, Elder Sister Shaoyun is inside, President Tian intentionally sent me away, go deal with him."

"Damn, that’s bold."

Zhang Xian stepped out of the car and calling Gao Longfei and others, he walked into the breakfast shop.

Over there, once Xiao Nan had left, President Tian couldn’t wait to grab Mo Shaoyun’s hand, "President Mo, truth be told, I’ve liked you since the first time I saw you."

Mo Shaoyun quickly withdrew her hand, and laughed, "President Tian, you’re such a joker. I’ve a boyfriend already, it wouldn’t be appropriate."

"What’s not right about it?" asked President Tian, "A man that lets a beauty like you roam around is just incompetent."

Mo Shaoyun just smiled, didn’t reply, reinforcements had arrived.

Zhang Xian walked over, one hand resting on President Tian’s shoulder, he asked, "Bro, who did you just called incompetent?"

President Tian turned his head, frowned, and said, "Kid, who are you? Who’s your bro? Don’t get too friendly with me. I don’t have time for you, get lost."

"Don’t lose your temper." Zhang Xian walked over to Mo Shaoyun, plopped down on her perfect jade legs, and said, "Actually, the woman you’re trying to hook up with is my future wife, and the incompetent man you were talking about earlier is me. I was at home watching TV when I got a call from Sister Nan. I heard about a man trying to seduce my wife, so I came over to check it out."

Seeing Zhang Xian sitting on her, Mo Shaoyun furrowed her brows, struggling to resist the impulse to push him away.

President Tian expressed surprise, "What? You’re Mo Shaoyun’s man?"

"Right, you’re correct, my brother-in-law is my sister’s man." Gao Longfei draped one hand over President Tian’s shoulder while the other patted his face. He then grabbed President Tian’s chin and said, "Not bad! You even dared to lay dirty hands on my sister. Who gave you the courage? Is your ’little buddy’ itching for a fight? Do you want the guys to scratch it for you, have a little fun?"

President Tian looked at Gao Longfei in fear, "What are you going to do? I have deep connections with the mob."

"The mob, huh?" scoffed Xu Lei, "So what? What are you going to do about it?"

Shen Nanshan also stepped forward, a flip-flop clutched in his hand, "I feel like hitting you. Can you give me reason not to? If anything goes wrong, you’ll get a flip-flop across your face."

"You...You guys..." President Tian was visibly scared.

He was alone, against several of them, and they were obviously looking for trouble. It was clear that they were about to gang up on him.

Zhang Xian looked at President Tian coldly and said, "Go, get out of here swiftly."

President Tian gritted his teeth, stood up, and left.

Zhang Xian called out, "Wait, order some food to be brought over, I haven’t had breakfast yet. Oh, and settle the bill for breakfast while you’re at it."

President Tian’s mouth twitched unnaturally. He called for a waiter, ordered quite a lot of food, paid the bill with a few notes before walking out with a livid face.

"Elder Sister Shaoyun..." Zhang Xian turned to her and asked, "Why do you, a wealthy heiress, need to take a job? Isn’t this just asking for trouble and causing me problems?"

A wave of warm breath accompanied by a masculine scent arrived, making Mo Shaoyun uncomfortable. She turned her head away and said, "I just want to live a fulfilling life, unlike you, rushing around all day. Whether it’s with this person or that person, I hardly have anything to do here and can’t return to Yanjing. The only solution is to find a job to pass the time."

"Um..." Zhang Xian stood up and moved to a nearby chair, "Come on, let’s have breakfast."

Xu Lei, Shen Nanshan, and Gao Longfei had intended to mooch Zhang Xian’s breakfast. They sat at the table without waiting for an invitation and began feasting.

At this moment, Xiao Nan walked in, saying, "Wow, you guys chased him away so quickly?"

"Huh? Why did you buy cigarettes?" Zhang Xian looked up and asked.

Xiao Nan waved the pack of Furong Wang cigarettes he was holding and said, "President Tian told me to buy them. I thought he wouldn’t leave so soon, so I bought a pack. I didn’t expect him to crumble like this."

"Hmm, I’ll smoke them on his behalf." Zhang Xian doesn’t normally smoke, but he’d been dealing with so many annoying things recently that he wanted to use smoking as a way to relieve the pressure.

Mo Shaoyun snatched the Furong Wang cigarettes and stomped on them, "If you have the guts, go buy your own."

Zhang Xian’s mouth twitched unnaturally and he quickly lowered his head. He wouldn’t be foolish enough to buy his own cigarettes. It was clear that Mo Shaoyun didn’t want him to smoke. She just didn’t say it explicitly.

"Um..." Shen Nanshan suddenly leaned in and said, "Actually, the three of us came to you today to let you know that Elder Sister Cheng’s medicinal herbs have arrived."

Zhang Xian’s eyes lit up, "Really?"

Gao Longfei nodded, "But brother-in-law, Elder Sister Cheng said that the medicinal herbs have become a bit difficult to obtain lately, so the quantity isn’t that large."

Zhang Xian asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Gao Longfei shrugged, "I don’t know. Elder Sister Cheng doesn’t share such matters with us nor does she allow us to ask. We only handle the management of the medicinal herbs market."

Zhang Xian nodded, "Alright, I’ll come with you guys to check it out later."

...

After leaving the breakfast shop, President Tian got into a small Volvo car and dialed a number on his phone.

All this time, there’d never been a woman he wanted to bed but couldn’t. Not to mention how flawlessly beautiful Mo Shaoyun was, occupying his thoughts day and night, he also wouldn’t let Zhang Xian and his friends off the hook.

"Hello! President Tian, any good news?"

President Tian said, "Brother Seven, I need some help from the bros, are you free?"

"What’s the matter?"

President Tian said, "Some blind fool is trying to act tough under my nose, I want to teach him a lesson. And while we’re at it, help me capture a woman."

"Hehe, President Tian, you’re living the good life!"

President Tian said, "Brother Seven, are you making fun of me? Do you have time or not?"

"How could I not have time when President Tian needs a favor? Will the usual rules apply? We aren’t doing business for the first time."

President Tian said, "Sure, as long as the job is done, money is not an issue. After it’s over, I’ll host a party and invite you guys to have fun, and call up some chicks to lighten the atmosphere."

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, then a hearty laughter sounded, "Haha, President Tian, you’re too polite. I accept the job. Send me the relevant information and I’ll get started right away."
