Someone else said, "Check if you've applied for your national tax certificate yet."
"Check if there are any illegally placed items. This entrance area is a public space, and you are not allowed to display advertisements or goods here, understand?"
"How many permanent residents do you have here? Have you applied for temporary residence permits? Have you registered with the neighborhood committee? Let me show you your ID cards first."
Zhao Qiang's mind went blank. Oh no, this was clearly a troublemaker! Who had he offended to warrant such a large-scale operation? Their strength was extraordinary. They came with great force; a few packs of cigarettes and a few red envelopes wouldn't be enough to deal with them.
At this moment, Wang Yidong came out of the rest room after hearing the noise. He found an acquaintance in the other group, a staff member from the epidemic prevention station named Wang Yu. Wang Yidong quickly pulled him aside and asked, "Xiao Wang, what's going on here? My friend is legitimately running a computer company. What are you checking? He's opening tomorrow. He can get the necessary documents later."
Wang Yu said, "Manager Wang, I was just following orders. It's your friend's fault for offending someone. The other party is too powerful, and our departments can't afford to be disrespectful. You should go and rest aside, or you'll get yourself into trouble."
Wang Yidong said angrily, "Don't do this. Name your price for the kickback, and I guarantee I'll have him deliver it to you."
Wang Yu said, "This has nothing to do with kickbacks. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. Get out of the way." With that, Wang Yu disregarded his friendship with Wang Yidong and forcefully pulled Wang Yidong away.
Zhao Qiang followed behind these people. They were law enforcement officers, and they said they couldn't stop him from inspecting the area, otherwise it would be obstructing official business. Among these people were auxiliary police officers from the local police station, whose role was to intervene if Zhao Qiang violently resisted the law.
"The fire-fighting equipment is substandard, insufficient in quantity, lacks fire-retardant sand, and the fire extinguishers are placed in the wrong locations," an official from the fire department said, with someone behind him taking notes. Finally, he concluded: "Shunfeng Technology Company is ordered to suspend operations for rectification, and this must be implemented immediately!"
With a whoosh, a notice was torn off and handed directly to Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang's face was gloomy. If he couldn't see that the other party was deliberately making trouble, then he would be blind. He figured that even if he pleaded, it wouldn't do any good. So Zhao Qiang silently took the notice.
"There are numerous unsanitary areas and no disinfection measures in place. It is a major source of pollution in the vicinity. We have ordered it to be rectified within one week!"
Zhao Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Where did this unsanitary corner come from? Besides, other shops don't have any disinfection measures either, so why is mine a major source of pollution?"
The man in the white coat said smugly, "I said you have unsanitary corners, and you have them. You don't believe me? I'll keep investigating until you admit it! You little punk, an outsider acting so arrogantly in our Donghai City, you don't even know your place!"
Zhao Qiang was highly suspicious of the people standing in front of him. Were they government officials? They looked more like a bunch of bandits! Zhao Qiang's lips twitched, his fists clenched tightly, his knuckles cracking. He really wanted to punch this guy in the white coat to death!
"No temporary residence permit, suspected of having a woman residing in the bedroom, no unmarried certificate, fine of 500 yuan." Several people from the neighborhood committee and the police station went into the finance department to check, and Xu Xiaoya's clothes in the bedroom gave them a reason to be fined.
An unmarried certificate is usually issued by the woman's family planning unit. If you live in the local area, you generally don't need this thing. But now they want to check, and they can give you any reason they want. Even if they say you are unmarried and living together, you have to accept it. What's more, this time they came specifically to cause trouble.
Zhao Qiang stood in the courtyard, somewhat bewildered. He had never encountered anything like this before. What should he do? He was just an ordinary citizen with no powerful figures protecting him. Was he really destined to be unable to do any business?
Volume 1 [080] Taking Action
Wang Yidong anxiously pulled Zhao Qiang to the corner: "Xiao Zhao, stop spacing out, do you have any cash?"
Desperate for a cure, Zhao Qiang hurriedly pulled out the several thousand yuan he had earned in the past few days from his pocket. Wang Yidong quickly folded them up and said, "Go and get a few packets of Huanghelou Soft Purple Gold. I'll help you deal with it for now. Who on earth did you offend that these people are working together to investigate you?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head: "No, I'm just a student, how could I possibly offend an official?"
Wang Yidong, unaware of the situation, couldn't analyze it either. He pulled out a stack of money from the people who were hurrying towards the fire station and, taking the opportunity of shaking hands, stuffed it into their hands, saying, "Boss, please help me out. We're opening tomorrow. Please make sure to rectify everything after tomorrow, okay?"
The fire brigade leader slapped Wang Yidong's hand away and said sternly, "This is blatant bribery of officials! Everyone saw it. If the amount is large enough, you could be sentenced!" It wasn't that the fire brigade leader didn't want the money, but the key issue was that he didn't have the final say in today's matter; there were powerful figures above him holding him back.
Wang Yidong was so frightened that he hurriedly stuffed the money into his pocket. "No, no, I was just joking. Everyone, please have mercy. It's not easy for Zhao Qiang, a student from out of town, to come to Donghai City to study. His family lives in the countryside and doesn't have much income. He runs a company to make a little money to support himself. Please let him off the hook. If he has offended you in any way, I will make sure he comes to apologize in person another day!"
At this moment, Zhao Qiang came out with several packs of Soft Purple Gold cigarettes. Although he hated these people to the extreme, they were like gods to him! They said if they didn't let you run a company, you would have to shut down! So Zhao Qiang suppressed his anger and stepped forward to respectfully offer cigarettes. A police auxiliary officer reached out and snatched the whole pack. "Hey, good cigarettes. Looks like this kid has made a lot of money. Smoking a cigarette isn't a bribe, is it? Everyone's been busy for a while. Here, one pack each."
The pack of soft purple cigarettes in Zhao Qiang's hand was quickly divided up by them. A pack retailed for seventy or eighty yuan, and in less than a minute, it was gone for over four hundred yuan. Before he had even finished half a cigarette, a man in a tax uniform said, "I say, let's hurry up. We have things to do tonight. Issue a ticket as much as the fine is due. If he has money, he can pay it and we'll settle things after rectification. If he doesn't have money, we'll have to move our things."
So, smoking Zhao Qiang's soft gold cigarettes, these seemingly respectable civil servants presented Zhao Qiang with bill after bill. Wang Yidong tried to persuade him, but they wouldn't give him any face, even loudly berating this computer company owner who once thought he had some influence in society. Wang Yidong was utterly embarrassed, and he sighed helplessly as he glanced at Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang stared blankly at the several fine slips, totaling over 50,000 yuan. Although he had just received a 50,000 yuan deposit from Hu Xiaojiang, he had also sent 30,000 yuan home, leaving him with a total of just over 40,000 yuan. But even if he had enough money, Zhao Qiang didn't want to pay these fines! This was outrageous!
This is going too far. Even Zhao Qiang, who has been working in society for several years, has never seen anything like this before. He used to only come into contact with the lowest level of society and had no idea about the dirty and dark power-money transactions. Now he has seen it for himself. It is too difficult to do anything without a background or power!
Just then, the window of a black sedan outside rolled down halfway, revealing a fat face inside. Zhao Qiang's eyes flashed, and he quietly adjusted his glasses, turning on the X-ray vision function. The situation inside the car was immediately clear.
Qian Gang, it's Qian Gang! Qian Duole and Zhang Chunjiang are also sitting in the back! Zhao Qiang understood. If he had offended anyone, it was Zhang Chunjiang. Of course, there were some underlying conflicts of interest that Zhao Qiang was not aware of at the moment. He just instinctively thought that Zhang Chunjiang resented him and had instigated Qian Gang to find someone to attack his company.
Enraged, Zhao Qiang crumpled the fine notice in his hand and slammed it to the ground, adding a spitting motion, "Pah!" This expressed his extreme anger and contempt for those civil servants! Damn it all, I might as well quit my company!
Several men who appeared to be leaders felt their authority had been challenged, and they angrily pointed at Zhao Qiang, shouting, "You, you, how dare you defy the law!"
The auxiliary police officer from the police station assumed a grappling stance, but Zhao Qiang turned and walked towards the door. Qian Gang's car window rolled up, and Zhao Qiang had already seen everything inside. At this moment, his eyes were filled with hatred! *Boom!* Zhao Qiang slammed his fist into the car door, denting the car worth over 200,000 yuan. He pulled the handle, but the door was locked from the inside. His mind already consumed by rage, Zhao Qiang punched the rear window again, shattering even the bulletproof glass under his blow!
Zhao Qiang observed clearly that Zhang Chunjiang was sitting on this side, and his target was Zhang Chunjiang. In fact, he had really wronged Zhang Chunjiang. Today's events were entirely Qian Gang's doing, but it was no wonder that Zhang Chunjiang came along.
The car window shattered, and Zhang Chunjiang shrank back into the car in fright. However, Qian Duole, who was sitting inside, blocked him. At this moment, Zhao Qiang's big hand reached in and grabbed Zhang Chunjiang's collar. With a huge force, Zhang Chunjiang was pulled out of the car window. The glass shards left on the car window cut Zhang Chunjiang all over, and he cried out in pain!
Bang! Zhao Qiang punched Zhang Chunjiang in the face. Zhang Chunjiang was already intimidated by Zhao Qiang's aura and forgot to fight back. The punch knocked out several of his teeth, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Qian Duole and Qian Gang got out of the car, along with the driver. Seeing Zhao Qiang in a frenzied state, the three of them, thinking it best to strike first, pounced on Zhao Qiang like tigers. Zhao Qiang was, after all, just an ordinary person. Even though he was wearing running shoes, there was no way he could run with them this time. At most, his three-proof shirt provided some protection. But the three of them kept hitting Zhao Qiang on the head and kicking him in the lower body. Under the combined attack of the three, Zhao Qiang's situation was in grave danger.
The courtyard was bustling with activity. Everyone threw away their cigarette butts and went into the sales hall to start moving sample machines. Wang Yidong didn't know which side to help. When he saw someone carrying a main unit past him, he instinctively grabbed him and said, "Don't move it! Can't we just pay the fine? We're opening tomorrow, and we've already notified our customers. This is ruining our business!"
The guy moving the computer was originally a city management officer. Seeing that his newly bought groom's shirt was wrinkled, he impatiently kicked Wang Yidong and said, "Get the hell away from me!"
Wang Yidong got angry after being kicked and rushed forward to snatch the computer from the groom's shirt. The groom couldn't hold on and the computer fell to the ground with a thud, landing right on Wang Yidong's toe. The groom cried out in pain and then pounced on Wang Yidong. None of them were martial arts practitioners, so they didn't have any special moves and just fought with their strength. They just grappled and wrestled together.
Zhao Qiang was fighting three opponents alone. In his panic, he forgot to take out his screwdriver and stab Qian Gang a few times. When he saw Wang Yidong being beaten, he became even more anxious. He couldn't care less about getting entangled with Qian Gang and the other two. He kicked off the ground with his stilt shoes, and before Qian Gang and the other two could surround him, Zhao Qiang suddenly darted out. Just then, the city management officer pinned Wang Yidong down. His companions surrounded him, ready to kick Wang Yidong a few times as he was down. Zhao Qiang pounced on him from behind and pushed the city management officer who was riding on Wang Yidong to the ground. Due to the momentum, the city management officer's face scraped more than a meter away from the ground, and he was immediately disfigured.
When their companion was injured, the others naturally wouldn't let him get away. They swarmed around Zhao Qiang, who couldn't jump up or run away. He was beaten up like that. Wang Yidong was quite loyal. Zhao Qiang risked his life to save him, so he couldn't ignore Zhao Qiang. He rushed up to pull away the people beating Zhao Qiang. By this time, the battle had become intense, and the auxiliary police had already taken out their weapons, rubber batons.
While Wang Yidong was outside struggling, a police auxiliary officer swung his baton and struck him on the arm. Crack! Wang Yidong's face turned deathly pale. He knew his arm was broken. Large beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. At this moment, he could no longer save Zhao Qiang. He squatted on the ground and cried out in pain. It really hurt.
Qian Gang, his son, driver, and Zhang Chunjiang rushed in from outside. Zhao Qiang was being beaten up and they couldn't help. Wang Yidong's fighting ability was also disabled. Qian Gang, who had been punched in the face by Zhao Qiang a few times, was still not satisfied. He pointed at the computer in the business room and said, "Smash it!"
Volume 1 [081] Mother's Comfort
At 10 p.m., Zhao Qiang returned from the hospital looking dazed. Wang Yidong's arm was only slightly fractured and needed to be put in a cast and rested. His wife had also rushed to the hospital. Wang Yidong tried his best to persuade Zhao Qiang to come back and pack up, so as not to delay the opening tomorrow. As for other things, they could talk about them later. Everyone encounters difficulties in life, it's not a big deal. Does it mean we can't live our lives? As long as we can live, we should continue to open for business tomorrow.
The entire business office was completely transformed. Broken LCD screens were everywhere, the main unit was smashed into a pretzel shape, and printers and other equipment were also broken beyond recognition. Fortunately, the break room and the finance department were untouched. Zhao Qiang squatted at the entrance of the business office, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
The phone rang in the break room. Zhao Qiang stood up, kicked his numb legs, and slowly and listlessly entered the break room. He had casually placed his phone on the table while making tea for Wang Yidong that afternoon, not expecting it to escape unscathed. Luckily, he hadn't brought his laptop back to the company, otherwise, it's hard to say whether Xiao Wei's hiding place would have been damaged.
It was an unfamiliar landline number. Zhao Qiang indifferently pressed the answer button, and a woman's voice came through: "Xiao Qiang, is that you? This is your mother. We got a phone installed at home today, and I've called your cell phone several times but no one answered. Please say something, Mom is worried..."
It really was his mother, Liu Huilan. When Zhao Qiang sent money home last time, he wrote down his phone number. His mother must have memorized the number from the remittance slip. The first thing she did after receiving the money Zhao Qiang sent back was to install a phone. The old couple wanted to hear their son's voice all the time!
Zhao Qiang was filled with resentment. Hearing his mother's voice made him unable to hold back any longer. "Mom..." followed by silent sobs. A man doesn't easily shed tears, only when he is truly heartbroken. Zhao Qiang was heartbroken now. Why was life so hard! This was the old society before liberation; where was justice?
Zhao Qiang's tears show that he is still a human being, not a cold and heartless machine. He has the same emotions and desires as everyone else, and he also encounters the same frustrating things that happen to ordinary people! However, what Zhao Qiang is upset about is that he wholeheartedly wants to do a good job in business, which is equivalent to serving society and the public, but how does society and the public repay him? The mess in the business office best illustrates the problem!
Zhao Qiang was not a second-generation official, a government official, a coal mine owner, or a rich second-generation. He was just a college student who had just entered society. He was only 22 years old. He had no background, no power, and had not experienced many hardships in life. When such a big thing came down on him, he could not bear it. His mother's call was like sailing into a safe harbor. He could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.
"Xiaoqiang, tell Mom, what happened?" Liu Huilan was confused and thought something serious had happened.
Zhao Qiang sobbed, "Mom, it's nothing. My company got vandalized."
Liu Huilan was silent for two seconds: "Did you offend someone?"
Zhao Qiang replied, "Yes."
Liu Huilan sighed: "Xiaoqiang, if you're unhappy in the city, just come home. You can make a living anywhere. We're a poor family with no connections, so don't try to be tough or fight with others. If anything happens to you, how will your mother and father manage?"
Zhao Qiang cried, "Mom, I know, but I'm not reconciled."
Liu Huilan said, "Xiaoqiang, what can you do if you're not willing? Your father and mother have been through it all. We had a lot of things we were unwilling to accept when we were young, but that's just how reality is. You have to accept it even if you're not willing. That's fate, that's fate, you know?"
Even if he's unwilling, he has to accept it. Would Zhao Qiang really do that? He's a man; he has his own honor and bottom line. But right now, Zhao Qiang is simply powerless against those who came to cause trouble. In a real fight, he couldn't even defeat the combined forces of Qian Gang and his son, Qian Duole. Zhao Qiang is too weak right now!
It took Zhao Qiang a full hour to hang up the phone. His mother's comforting words had calmed him considerably; at least he had stopped crying. Zhao Qiang returned to the lounge, plugged in his laptop, placed Xiao Wei on the coffee table, and lit a cigarette. The first puff made him cough twice, but after a few more puffs, he became completely numb and used to it. On the screen, Xiao Wei paced anxiously. It had heard what had happened, but it was powerless to help its brother, making it feel utterly useless! It was filled with self-reproach.
The lights were off in the lounge, and even the moon in the sky seemed to have hidden away, unable to bear the darkness on earth. Zhao Qiang didn't sleep a wink all night. He sat on the sofa in the lounge, smoking all night in the dark. No one knew what he was thinking, and his expression was unclear in the darkness. It wasn't until dawn that he stubbed out his last cigarette and stood up, a smile on his face, but it could also be a sneer, or even confidence.
Zhao Qiang stepped out of the break room. A dim light was already appearing outside. He picked up a broom from a corner and began cleaning up the trash in the service hall. The hesitation and helplessness on Zhao Qiang's face had vanished. Life had to go on, after all. Even if he cried himself to death, who would care, except for his heartbroken parents? He had to get up from where he fell, even if it required greater effort and a longer wait. Zhao Qiang was willing! There's a saying, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years," and Zhao Qiang didn't need to wait ten years.
The laptop screen, which had been in standby mode, suddenly lit up after Zhao Qiang left. Xiao Wei appeared on it with a worried expression, muttering to herself, "Brother, I'm sorry, I couldn't help you again this time. Actually, I really wanted to transplant a biochip into your brain, which would make you much stronger. But my energy would damage the active cells, and I'm afraid the transplantation process would have adverse effects on your body, possibly even causing cancer. So I dare not. But your brain development level is too low. Without modification, your personal strength will never improve significantly. Brother, what should I do?"
With a whoosh, Zhao Qiang dumped the broken LCD screen into the trash can by the door, then went back to the business hall to sort through the smashed mainframes. A soft horn blared in the courtyard, and soon Xu Xiaoya walked in cheerfully: "Zhao Qiang, I thought you were sleeping in, but I didn't expect you to be so conscientious, getting up early to work... My God, what happened? Did we get attacked by bandits?"
Xu Xiaoya stood at the entrance of the business hall in shock. Although the LCD screen on the ground had been cleaned up, there were messy broken main units and printer debris everywhere, and the display stand had been smashed in several sections. Had they gone mad?
Zhao Qiang continued to tidy up silently. The light outside grew brighter and brighter. Xu Xiaoya could see the injuries on Zhao Qiang's face from the side, as well as the scratches on his wrists and the backs of his hands. Fortunately, his upper body was not seriously injured because of his protective shirt, but his right thigh had been kicked several times, which made Zhao Qiang walk with a limp. In the morning light, he looked so lonely, helpless, and desolate.
"Who is it! Tell me who it is!" Xu Xiaoya was like a madwoman. Shunfeng Technology Company was the culmination of all her efforts. She cared more about the development of this small shop than Zhao Qiang did. But it had been vandalized, and even Zhao Qiang had been beaten up like this. At this moment, Xu Xiaoya just wanted to grab a knife and chop someone up, provided that she could actually defeat the person.
Zhao Qiang did not answer. Xu Xiaoya was no match for Qian Gang, as evidenced by the fact that he could mobilize so many departments to conduct joint law enforcement. Besides, this was a matter between Zhao Qiang, Qian Gang, and Zhang Chunjiang. Zhao Qiang had no need to involve a woman like Xu Xiaoya. Therefore, Zhao Qiang chose to remain silent.
Xu Xiaoya shouted and screamed for a while without getting any results, but quickly calmed down. Finding out who did it was useless now; as long as everyone was alright, that was all that mattered! Looking at Zhao Qiang's face and hands covered in bruises, and his unsteady gait, Xu Xiaoya felt an overwhelming surge of pity. Tears streaming down her face, she silently hugged Zhao Qiang from behind, pressing her head tightly against his back, and softly called out, "Zhao Qiang..."
Volume 1 [082] It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.
At this moment, Zhao Qiang had no romantic thoughts. He only felt warmth and peace, just like when his mother back in his hometown held him in her arms when he was a child. Could it be that all women have this maternal charm?
After a long while, Xu Xiaoya blushed and let go of Zhao Qiang. In front of Zhao Qiang, she had always been a leader like the class monitor. When she saw him being wronged, she would unconsciously protect and care for him. Her hugging Zhao Qiang just now was a natural expression of her feelings.
Xu Xiaoya said in a low voice, "I've calmed down. You should tell me the whole story. It's gotten so big that it can't be hidden anymore. Even if you don't tell me, I'll find out from other sources. Don't make me go through all that trouble."
Zhao Qiang thought it made sense, so he said, "Let's go to the lounge; it's cleaner there."
The lounge was filled with a strong smell of smoke. Xu Xiaoya was choked and stepped back. She opened the door and the window and felt a little better. She said with dissatisfaction, "How many cigarettes did you smoke last night? Do you want to die? We can solve any problems slowly. Don't take your health for granted."
Zhao Qiang smiled faintly: "First time smoking, couldn't control myself." As he spoke, he casually grabbed the cigarette pack on the table, only to realize upon squeezing it that it was empty. Only this one pack remained; the rest had been given to the scum. Zhao Qiang crumpled the cigarette pack and threw it into the trash can.
Xu Xiaoya stood up and said, "Wait a moment." She went back to the courtyard, opened the car door, took out a plastic bag, carried it to the lounge, and opened it. Inside were Yunyan cigarettes, Suyan cigarettes, Huanghelou cigarettes, and several exquisite Zippo lighters. It seemed that they were prepared for the guests to use when they came today. She really is a girl who is rough but meticulous.
"Go ahead and smoke." Xu Xiaoya picked out a box of Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes and tossed it to Zhao Qiang. Zhao Qiang opened it, took out a cigarette, and lit it: "Thank you."
Xu Xiaoya said, "It's nothing, I have plenty at home. I'll get you more when you're done."
Zhao Qiang exhaled a smoke ring in a deep voice, "It's Qian Gang and Zhang Chunjiang from Xinhua Computer."
Xu Xiaoya was stunned. "I don't believe a computer company would dare to do that!"
Zhao Qiang continued, "There were also the fire brigade, police station, tax bureau, epidemic prevention department, neighborhood committee and other departments. They said it was a joint enforcement action and wanted to fine me 50,000 yuan. I found out that Qian Gang was manipulating this behind the scenes and lost control of myself. I got into a fight with them. President Wang Yidong was also involved. He broke his arm and is now in the hospital."
"Qian Gang from Xinhua Computer Company? You wait, I'll have someone investigate right now!" Xu Xiaoya jumped up and went outside to make a phone call. As for Zhao Qiang saying that Wang Yidong was injured, she didn't care. After all, she had no connection with Wang Yidong. At this moment, her anger was reignited, and she didn't care about anyone else.
Ten minutes later, Xu Xiaoya returned to the lounge. Her expression was uncertain, as if she had encountered a problem. Suddenly, Xu Xiaoya sat down next to Zhao Qiang and said, "I'm sorry, Zhao Qiang, I'm the one who hurt you." As she spoke, Xu Xiaoya hugged Zhao Qiang, put her head on his shoulder, and started sobbing. This time, Zhao Qiang could clearly feel the pressure on her chest, two firm and elastic fleshy objects. He awkwardly pushed Xu Xiaoya away, "Squad leader, what are you doing?"
Xu Xiaoya said, "The optimized computer plan I made for Donghai Tire Factory was approved, so the factory canceled its original plan to purchase a large number of computers. This ruined Qian Gang's bidding at the tire factory, so he held a grudge and came to retaliate against our company. Qian Gang's uncle, Zhong Shuhuan, is the secretary-general of the municipal party committee. All the departments you mentioned have to give Zhong Shuhuan face, which is why they joined forces to enforce the law. It's all my fault. I should have not included the company's name in the optimized plan."
It turns out Xu Xiaoya had done so much work behind the scenes, managing to secure the computer optimization business deal with Donghai City Tire Factory! Zhao Qiang was deeply moved; regardless of any mistakes she might have made, it was all for the sake of Shunfeng Technology Company!
Zhong Shuhuan, the Secretary-General of the Municipal Party Committee? Zhao Qiang sneered inwardly. Well, let's add another enemy then. Killing three people is killing, killing four people is killing too! I, Zhao Qiang, will fight tirelessly to get rid of you all in my life! Zhao Qiang had long harbored the intention to kill, but the timing was not right. Acting rashly would not only fail to kill Qian Gang and his son, but might also get him killed.
“Alright, class monitor,” Zhao Qiang patted Xu Xiaoya’s back, his fingers able to feel the marks of her bra straps. “Don’t cry. You were just keeping me warm a moment ago, and now you’re like this. It’s no big deal. They won’t have the last laugh.”
Xu Xiaoya stood up abruptly: "That's right, my dad can't control it, I'll figure it out myself!"
Xu Xiaoya has a fiery temper and does whatever comes to mind. She rushed out of the lounge, reversed her car, and left the yard. Zhao Qiang couldn't stop her and could only let her do as she pleased.
