It wasn’t any significant figure, just...
They didn’t inquire about who the big guy’s sick wife was.
Late at night, Mrs. Qiu saw her son come home and hurriedly asked, "How did the discussion on acquiring Peak go today, son? Was it quite smooth?"
Qiu Tianyi suddenly thought of those burly men covered in blood, and remembered the pit they were digging when he left.
"Mom, let’s talk about this later, I’m tired today. Whatever it is, we can talk tomorrow,"
"Then remember, you have a dinner tomorrow, and you’ll meet with the Sun Family’s people," Mrs. Qiu said behind him.
Meanwhile, Yan Shixiu shared this matter with the young miss.
After listening, the young miss laughed and asked, "How do you even know these intimidation tactics?"
"It’s good to know some, it yields a different kind of pleasure," Yan Shixiu said, "Yanting said there’s also a video, she’ll send it to us later to watch together."
Of course, Shi Lan wouldn’t keep such interesting stuff hidden; the next morning, she directly sent it to Sun Ling and had people spread the news about how Qiu Family had offended a big shot in the circle.
After watching the video, Sun Ling couldn’t stop laughing, especially at the sight of Qiu Tianyi rolling off the chair; she replayed that part over and over, chuckling every time she watched it. That video evidently became her greatest source of joy in the morning.
Seeing her enjoying the video, Tang Ze and Xiao Yue came over to watch and laughed along, "It’s not us saying this, but your dad’s taste might really be questionable. How does he justify entrusting his daughter for life to this kind of man? Either me or your brother Xiao are more reliable than this guy, aren’t we?"
"Don’t pull me into this, we’re not even her type," Xiao Yue chuckled as he picked up his documents and left the office.
"Knowing what type you like, why not try to find it?" At that moment, Shi Lan walked in from outside and looked at Doctor Sun, "Maybe, you could get a message from your senior?"
"Boss!" Sun Ling said with a touch of embarrassment, "I haven’t even solved my own problems, and besides, he’s so melancholic, my dad definitely wouldn’t like him."
"Your own marriage, does it matter that much whether your dad likes him or not? What about the ones your dad likes, do you like them?"
Sun Ling: "..." She seemed to be at a loss for words.
"Handle the Qiu Family matter well tonight, and we can discuss the rest later,"
Among the general public, she was just the most ordinary kind of girl in the crowd. If it weren’t for meeting the boss, she thought, she would have been stuck in a sad business marriage, unable to do anything about Qiu Tianyi, just like how arrogant he was at the beginning.
She wondered how many girls still couldn’t make their own choices in marriage. Speaking of which, her family was wealthy, but she couldn’t decide her marriage. Not knowing, those girls from modest backgrounds, must they be even more constrained and restricted by these worldly values?
"Boss, didn’t they try to arrange marriages for you initially?"
"How could they not?" Shi Lan scoffed, "If we’re talking frequency, probably several times a week. I met a few, but they all got so scared they fled pee-faced, and after that, whoever tried to match me up, I would crush their finances completely."
"Was there no one you couldn’t turn down?"
"How couldn’t there be?" Shi Lan continued scoffing, "Take him for a spin in a car, ride in a helicopter, play on a yacht, he’ll realize living is more important than anything else."
Life is a competition of ruthlessness.
If you’re more ruthless than others, you can’t lose.
