Shi Qian looked at Huo Fei and smiled.
“Brother Ci asked me to pick you up. Let’s go.”
“Why would he want to see me?” Shi Qian asked again.
“He didn’t say anything over the phone. He just asked me to pick you up.”
Shi Qian immediately sat in the car.
Huo Fei closed the door and went back to the driver’s seat.
The two left together.
Shi Qian opened the game on her phone and asked, “What’s Jiang Ci doing?”
“He still has some things to deal with. When he’s up, he’ll return to the guild hall. We should be there around the same time.”
Shi Qian stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Huo Fei. “Dealing with family matters? Has someone made a move recently?”
Huo Fei sighed. “It hadn’t stopped since last year. Recently, Jiang Chen doesn’t dare to come openly, but there are still others.”
“However, 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.”
“Yes. 1 understand.” 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.
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this. Oh, Sister Qian, where have you been these past few days?”
“Ninth Province.” Shi Qian replied.
“You went with Master Zhan?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Then you must have had a lot of fun.”
“We had fun.” 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 Ci’s car beauty salon.
No one was in the office upstairs.
The two looked around but did not see Jiang Ci.
“It seems like he hadn’t arrived yet.”
Shi Qian walked to the sofa and sat down comfortably. “It’s fine. Let’s wait a while.”
Huo Fei nodded and asked, “What do you want to drink? I’ll get it for you.”
“I’m okay. I’m not thirsty.”
“Then 1’11 take it for you.” 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.
“Hello, Uncle Han.”
“Qianqian, are you out of the country? When are you coming back?” Han Yuanfeng asked.
“I just came back yesterday.”
“You’re back!” Delight engulfed Han Yuanfeng’s voice. “That’s great! It’s all thanks to your help last time. Since you’re back, 1 can thank you now.”
“Uncle Han, you don’t have to be so polite.”
“I’m not being polite to you. You’ve provided us with paramount help, so it’s only right to thank you.” Minister Han paused for a moment. He suddenly thought of something and said, “Oh, Director Bai also mentioned you in the past. She said that she wanted to see you.”
The smile on Shi Qian’s face suddenly froze when she heard this. There was a deafening silence. She said, “Uncle Han, you don’t have to thank me. Also, I’ve been busy recently and don’t have time to see anyone. I’m sorry.”
“I see. That’s alright,” Han Yuanfeng said dejectedly. “You can proceed with your work. We’ll meet again when you have time.”
“Alright.”
Shi Qian hung up the phone. Huo Fei had just returned.
Huo Fei thought that Jiang Ci had called Shi Qian.. He asked, “Is that Brother Ci? How long until he arrives?”
