Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 855: Chapter 829: A Meeting of Minds

”If it weren’t for Chen Xiaoqian, would Yaya have been kidnapped? It’s only because of that time that Yaya’s situation got worse and worse!”

”But didn’t Yaya have a habit of stealing things before? This has nothing to do with Chen Xiaoqian... Why do you insist on targeting her?”

”Just don’t ask anymore, this time I must make her pay!”

The brother’s tone shocked the homeroom teacher, who nervously asked, ”Then what do you intend to do?”

”I’ve heard her treatments are particularly expensive, and since she doesn’t care about our Yaya, we have to find a way to accuse her of disrupting market order and inflating medical prices! Although this area lacks regulation, as long as her patients don’t accuse her, the authorities can’t deal with her, but I have ways!”

In this gray area, it’s a matter of one willing to strike and one willing to endure.

None of Qian’s patients would stand up to accuse her. She deals exclusively with wealthy people who value privacy and are willing to pay a bit to solve their problems. Who among the local tycoons would come forward for that tens of thousands to admit they once had psychological issues?

”Just find a way to get Yaya out; why do you have to target my student?” The homeroom teacher copied books so many times; Qian had her copying things like the ”Zhu Family’s Family Rules” and other national educational texts, and after a while, her mindset started to change.

Unfortunately, later she went through a divorce and lost interest in copying books, neglecting her daughter’s education, leading to worsening conditions for the child.

But deep down she didn’t hate Qian, feeling more fear and guilt, wondering why her brother targeted an unrelated person?

”Although we haven’t yet found a breakthrough in her high charges, we can deal with her elsewhere. Isn’t the labor department just hosting a professional competition? I’ll use sponsorship connections to make her participate. If she shows any discrepancies in the competition, we can have the labor bureau revoke her psychological counselor qualification, and by then when everyone pushes her down, will those who were extorted by her still remain silent?”

The brother spoke enthusiastically, while the homeroom teacher listened terrified.

”Did you... promise someone something?” If not, why go through all this trouble for someone who has long been unrelated, like Chen Xiaoqian?

”Don’t ask; just know that once this is successfully done, our family will soar, and we can send Yaya abroad for school without worrying about her not being disciplined.”

After hanging up the phone, the homeroom teacher was in turmoil.

From what her brother said, he must have promised someone something, someone who wants to harm Chen Xiaoqian, then giving her brother some benefits.

Sitting on the sofa, she gazed at the broken picture frame on the wall that had never been repaired, smashed by Qian.

The words ”Thick virtue carries objects” were large and bold, with the virtue part smashed. Qian didn’t allow her to fix it, and truly she hadn’t, but kept watching it.

For years she stopped taking money from students’ parents, now she would occasionally look at that broken virtue.

Last time Qian saved Yaya; she wanted to thank her but felt she owed Qian so much, and couldn’t face her.

Now, her brother wants to sabotage Qian. But what... should she do?

The homeroom teacher pondered about her brother’s plan to send Yaya abroad for studies, and Qian’s visit questioning her about the hidden admission notice. Two matters seemed to tug at each other in her heart, conscience and interest fiercely intertwined, leaving her bewildered and unsure of what to do.

After her brother hung up, he immediately dialed another number, sounding extremely obsequious.

”Yes, yes, the matter has been arranged. As you requested, I’ve sponsored this competition. Let’s take a step back; if we can’t pull Chen Xiaoqian down this time, we can find her problems in the competition, then block her from getting the Level 2 counselor certificate. By then, heh...”

”Well done, once successful, there won’t be any shortage of rewards for you, just be discreet, understand?”

”Yes, yes! I promise not to let anyone know it was your arrangement!”

...

”Qian, don’t participate in this competition,” Mr. Liu stated.

While Qio Yu Xuan kept his eyes down, silent.

The opposition probably didn’t expect Qian would have the connection to Qio Yu Xuan on her side, informing Qian ahead of time, thinking their plan was seamless.

Mr. Liu suggests against Qian’s participation as the opponents’ intentions are unclear and potentially malicious, avoiding them would be most wise.

This way, the opponents’ punch would feel like hitting cotton, soft and powerless, with no takers.

This competition doesn’t require Qian’s participation. The opposition only throws out a seemingly attractive offer to lure Qian, and as long as she doesn’t bite, their scheming can’t succeed.

”I want to participate.”

Qian’s reply surprised Mr. Liu, even Qio Yu Xuan raised his eyebrows, showing a very interested expression at Qian.

Qian slightly raised her chin, revealing a confident and bold demeanor.

Qio Yu Xuan smirked, seeing her like this, he was truly happy. She was a child who knew herself well; her expression conveyed to Qio Yu Xuan she was well-prepared.

Mr. Liu clearly didn’t understand Qian as well as Qio Yu Xuan did, women and men see things differently.

”Qian, what are you saying? Knowing they might target you, why get involved? I’ll decline for you, saying you’re getting married during the holidays.”

Mr. Liu still wants to protect Qian under his wing, from any harm.

”I want to participate.”

Qian’s eyes sparkled with lively and confident light.

”Teacher, if you decline for me once, what about next time? I might be getting married this summer, what about the winter break? This year I might dodge them, then what about next year? Since the moment I offended them, I was mentally prepared that they wouldn’t let me go. Rather than evading, I’ll stand in the light and let them do what they want.”

At that moment in the meeting room, Yu Minglang, dressed in a tailored suit, was listening to his subordinates’ presentation, interrupting at a certain point.

His powerful voice seemed to merge with Qian’s confident face elsewhere.

”I don’t want to hear you find objective reasons; the most effective defense against competitors is always attack! I want my people out like a sharp sword, to engage in business aggressively and legitimately!”

This time Minglang’s negotiation had achieved remarkable results again, his swift and decisive approach convincing the opponent, once again bringing honor to the company.

At this moment Minglang was in his prime, spreading his attack-defend philosophy to every one of his executives.

Couples who live together often have exceptionally similar values.

Qian’s decision right now coincidentally aligns with Minglang’s speech ethos.
