Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 435: Chapter 409: What Do You Call Me

Afraid that Hu Meijing would continue discussing the indescribable maple leaf, Qian assumed a professional doctor’s pose and said to her.

”Generally speaking, people with mania may look particularly sunny and claim that they have a very good and positive mindset, but such people tend to be narrow-minded and easily get upset. He may say it doesn’t matter whether he gets treated or not, but deep down he cares a lot. Take care of him a little more, and if he loses his temper, please be patient.”

”Okay, thank you, Mr. Chen.”

The patient’s expression of absolute admiration and trust in the doctor made Qian feel a little embarrassed.

It was exhausting being Mr. Chen, openly saying such suggestive words to her boyfriend in front of the patient, how... thrilling could it be?

Face, this thing, really is contagious, Qian seriously thought she must have caught it from Xiaoqiang’s thick-skinned demeanor.

After saying goodbye to Hu Meijing, Qian walked to the bus stop. She owned a car, but Xiaoqiang wouldn’t let her drive it.

Yu Minglang still had lingering fears about the last time Qian drove and crashed, constantly nagging in her ear about unlicensed driving. No matter how she explained that she could drive, it didn’t work. Minglang insisted she shouldn’t touch the steering wheel until she got a license.

Not only that, he confiscated her car keys, and wouldn’t let her drive the garish red car either!

Minglang listens to Qian 90% of the time, but the remaining 10% involves safety issues. In Minglang’s view, driving without a license is a grave offense. Qian agreed with him on the surface, but turned around and discussed with Zheng Xu about buying a license, hoping to park the car somewhere near the school for convenience.

Somehow Minglang found out about this and was furious, giving Qian a harsh scolding, claiming that if she dared to buy a license, she could never touch a car again, not even a scooter, and he meant it.

Qian couldn’t do anything about it. She knew about her reincarnation, but Minglang didn’t. Such a skill brought over from another life could only be obtained by retaking the test, but being busy lately left no time for that.

So she had to rely on public transportation for travel, which was quite suffocating.

The bus had not arrived yet, so Qian seized the opportunity to call Zheng Xu.

When Zheng Xu saw Qian’s call, he waved his hand to the two girls beside him, and the private room instantly emptied. It was becoming a conditioned reflex. Whenever Qian heard he was with many women, she would lecture him on ideological politics, and Xu was quite afraid of her.

”Zheng Xu, are you drinking with women again?”

”How is that possible? I’m in the library, cultivating my mind and character. Spring is a season very suitable for nurturing the body and mind,” Zheng Xu said solemnly.

One of the women who had just left pushed open the door and leaned charmingly against the doorframe, saying softly, ”Xu, we agreed to go for a sauna together, don’t be late.”

”...” Zheng Xu decided to check who was so insensitive to send such a woman to disrupt his plans.

He hoped Qian didn’t hear, but—

”A library indeed, with administrators in mini-skirts providing close service. After reading, you can even take a bath together. Impressive, my Xu.”

Zheng Xu was both embarrassed and angry, glaring at the woman, who left in a hurry.

Pretending nothing was exposed, Zheng Xu asked calmly.

”Alright, what do you want this time?”

”Nothing much, check someone for me. Her name is Hu Meijing.”

”...Chen Xiaoqian, do you take me for a household registration office? Can’t you ask Erha in your family?”

”I won’t let you help for nothing; there’s a benefit.”

”What is it?”

”Clear out your stocks before May, just sell them all.”

After the engagement ceremony, Qian had some spare cash at hand and invested in several stocks under Minglang’s guidance, earning decent returns so far, especially during the recent period of continuous limit-ups.

”Did you receive some information?” Zheng Xu asked seriously.

He had quite a few connections himself but hadn’t received any such news. He had invested a lot in the stock market too.

”Yes, sort of. Just remember, clear all before May, no matter if you profit or lose before that.”

”Is it that predicting Erha in your family again?” Zheng Xu asked another question, knowing Mr. Yu’s skills in this area were extraordinary.

”It is, and isn’t. Just clear out the stocks.”

Minglang did tell Qian that the recent surge was somewhat suspicious, so he planned to have Qian sell both the funds and stocks, preferring to earn less later but manage risks.

Listening to him say that, Qian admired her man greatly. Her Xiaoqiang’s sixth sense was truly innate; he was exceptionally good at investments and business.

In June, a four-year bear market would start in our stock market. The stock ownership separation issue left shareholders generally lacking investment confidence, leading to a plunge in the stock index. Many patients she treated in her past life recalled this period with just three words: blood and tears, including Zheng Xu.

Zheng Xu was also quite good at stocks, later dominating in futures with Qian, but he wasn’t without a dark history. This year’s crash caught Xu seriously off guard. The immense losses distorted his capital turnover, affecting his business. If it weren’t for help from his mother’s family, Xu would have had to obediently listen to his father and work as a civil servant.

Zheng Xu somewhat listened to Qian’s words. After she spoke, he took it to heart.

”I shared this news, so don’t compete with my brother for land, and develop your business more. Also, hurry up and investigate that person.”

”Alright... I yield to you... Mrs Yu, who gets on my nerves.”

”What are you calling me?!” Qian got angry.

”You’ve just sold yourself to the Yu Family, helping them to bully me, calling you Mrs Yu isn’t unfair at all.”

”Who said I’m helping the Yu Family? During my engagement ceremony, don’t you know how you’re positioned? Understand your place!”

Qian felt that her relationship with Zheng Xu was very good now, even closer than in her past life. Although they were also good friends before, there was a sense of entanglement in their relationship; the pure friendship now was better, both transparent to each other.

Zheng Xu was annoyed again by Qian.

”By the way, Zheng Xu, was it you who told Yu Minglang about my plan to buy a driver’s license?”

”Do you think I’m very close with Minglang?” Zheng Xu countered.

”Oh... then forget it, remember to liquidate your stocks early, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”

Qian believed that given Zheng Xu’s relationship with Minglang, he probably wouldn’t betray her. Just then the bus arrived, so she hung up and got on.

Zheng Xu laughed sinisterly at the phone; he wasn’t close to Minglang, but he was very close with Chen Xiaoqian. As someone from ”the family,” how could he not tell Minglang?

”Who told you to position me as someone from the family; the wicked will indeed be dealt with by the wicked, Chen Xiaoqian, it’s your own doing...”
