“The weak fall prey to the strong. If you’re not capable, you have to give up your seat to others. Isn’t this how the world works? Didn’t you have something to tell me in person? It’s been so long already, tell me.”

The elder replied, “I received information a few days ago. There’s a mystery person who used rocket prices to hire top assassins from here, and they have secretly entered S Nation. They’re heading for you. This news is not verified yet, I’ve sent my men to check. We can’t rule out the possibility that someone’s leaked this fake news. But, Young Master, you ought to bring more men around with you.”

“Heading for me?” Jin Qingyan frowned. Such news reached him every year until he was used to it already. “Elder, be sure to check and tell me.”

“Yes. Young Master, how many days are you intending to stay here for?”

“Three or four days.” He stood up and went on, “I didn’t sleep well last night, I’ll go and get some sleep.”

The elder got up and replied, “Alright.”

After Mei Yangyang had just checked the accounts, Long Tianze’s call came in.

“What’s the matter?”

“I just wanted to tell you, your advertisement will appear on the hottest channel tonight, it’s more than ten seconds long.”

Mei Yangyang was slightly excited. “Umm, got it.”

“Are you at the store?” Long Tianze asked.

“Yes.”

“Do you want to have lunch later?”

“Okay.”

After she hung up, Mei Yangyang grinned to herself. Xu Jingwen commented, “Sister Yangyang, you were speaking in such a gentle tone just now.”

Mei Yangyang got up and threw her phone into her pocket. “No, I wasn’t.”

“In my opinion, Sister Yangyang — if there’s a hot guy wooing you, you should just accept him. Or else, someone else may strike first.”

“If he can be snatched away, then it’s a good thing for me.” She slung her bag over her shoulder and headed towards the door. “I’m going out to eat, both of you look after the store. When I’m back, you can go out to eat.”

“Okay.”

As the New Year had just passed, both sides of the streets had leftover firecrackers. Mei Yangyang put on her bunny hoodie and kept both her hands inside her sleeves, slowly walking on the pathway.

Not long after, a car horn started sounding.

She turned back to look and realized it was his car.

She walked briskly towards his car window and asked, “How did you come here so quickly?”

“Quick, get on.”

“Okay.” She went around the front of his car and got into the seat beside his.

Long Tianze drove towards a nearby restaurant. Looking at her outfit, he couldn’t help but comment, “You’re already so petite, now you look even more like a little girl.”

“I like it when people treat me like a little girl.” She turned to look at him. “Today, I feel like eating fish with pickled vegetable.”

“What else?”

“Sweet potato balls… but I’ve called my father to get him to fry some for me at home.”

“Guess what I want to eat?” he asked her.
