Chapter 104 - Return to Qinghe City

“That’s right, the Xia Group in Qinghe City… Brother, do you have any friends there?”

Zhang Wen and Xiao Li remained silent. Su Xiaoxiao nodded while looking at Su Qiubai.

Su Qiubai completely did not expect Manager Zhu to be a member of the Xia Group. All of a sudden, an excessive number of solutions popped up in his mind; he didn’t even know which one to choose.

However, his sudden silence made the three girls standing opposite of him misunderstand him. The three of them became gloomy instantly.

“You don’t have to worry. If it doesn’t work out, I can find another job.”

Zhang Wen probably thought that Su Qiubai was troubled, so she spoke out first.

“No trouble! There’s no trouble at all. He just needs to make a phone call.”

Cao Toufei really couldn’t hold back it any longer, so he spoke before Su Qiubai could react. That gave the three girls some hope.

“It’s really no trouble at all. Let me make the phone call.”

Su Qiubai smiled before turning and walking out.

In the room, Cao Toufei continued to reassure Su Xiaoxiao and her friends, but in his heart, he was mumbling to himself.

As Su Qiubai was ready to leave Dong Hai, he coincidentally met Gu Chengya.

Seeing Gu Chengya in a simple cowgirl outfit and a cap, Su Qiubai felt a familiar feeling. This was how they first met.

Sure enough, just like what she had said, Mr. Dongfang was here as well.

It was true that the old gentleman was really persistent. He exchanged a few words with Su Qiubai. And half of them were about calligraphy works. Even if Su Qiubai deliberately wanted to talk about other topics, he would quickly return to his original topic.

Su Qiubai shook his head secretly; he couldn’t do anything about it. He tried to figure out what to do in order to stop him from talking.

Otherwise, if this old man was to follow him to Qinghe City and find out that there weren’t any so-called calligraphy works, it would be a huge offense to him!

Just like that, they left Donghai City.

Even Su Qiubai didn’t expect that so many things would happen in such a short period of time. Now, thinking back, the mass murder at Jiangbei Mountain was the most unforgettable event.

Especially the death of Xia Tian!

After silently admonishing himself, he stepped on the gas pedal, and the team behind him followed closely to Qinghe City.

At Qinghe City, Xia Rongrong felt incomprehensible after hearing that Su Qiubai was returning.

Even she wasn’t aware that she had a feeling of dependence towards this man.

Just like Su Qiubai had guessed, an incident that nobody had expected had happened in the Xia Group.

Initially, the company was flourishing, but then, something bad happened.

On the second day in Donghai City, the Xia Group’s successful business had been cheated by a scammer, and tens of millions of dollars were later discovered to be completely fraud.

In just a blink of an eye, it had been a week since the incident. They had already made a police report, but there was still no news until now.

The tens of millions of dollars wasn’t a small amount for any company, so even if the Xia Group was a huge corporate business, this loss was like a disastrous tsunami to them too.

Xia Rongrong’s assistant rubbed her forehead and came into her office with a cup of coffee in her hand.

“President Xia, you should take a break.”

The assistant felt distressed for this woman. Because of the capital sponsored, everyone thought that the future of the Xia Group was guaranteed.

However, who knew that something like this would happen? Some people were gossiping that the company was completely done for.

She had used all her means to rule out the impacts of this incident this whole week, but many problems were still irreparable, causing her to be in despair.

However, Xia Rongrong had experienced bigger blows than this, so she was confident that she could survive this difficult time.

Besides… Su Qiubai was coming back.

She was surprised that this thought had actually come to her mind, because what could Su Qiubai even do when he returned?

But… wasn’t life always this mysterious?
