Chapter 123: The Good Days Are Here

Green Coriander’s words made Shen Qingli’s mouth twitch. She silently asked, "Tell me, how many points do I have left?"

[Based on some of your previous actions, plus other factors, hmm... you currently have two hundred and fifty points.]

That really wasn't a very auspicious number.

Looking at the mercenaries on the ground, Shen Qingli felt a sense of relief. If her abilities hadn't improved, she wouldn't have been able to handle these people. Not to mention... they even had firearms. Thinking about this, she felt she couldn't just leave them here completely unattended, but handing them over to the police would be a huge hassle.

After mulling it over, she thought of something. "Coriander, is there something that can scramble their memories, making them believe that I am the employer and Rong Qiaoyi is me?"

[Yes, it costs fifty points.]

"So cheap?" She was a bit surprised, remembering Green Coriander’s previously scam-like behavior. Sensing her thoughts, Green Coriander gave a cheeky laugh. [Host, isn't that because your strength has improved now...]

Shen Qingli couldn't be bothered to waste words. "Hurry up." Although it was in the middle of nowhere, there had been an unusually large number of people at the concert today, and if she were seen, it would be difficult to explain.

[You got it!]

As Green Coriander spoke, a beam of light shot into the men's bodies. [It's done, Host. We can leave with peace of mind.]

Hearing this, Shen Qingli didn't hesitate to drive their car away, leaving the nearly totaled vehicle behind. As for whether they would survive, that was up to fate.

When she returned home, Xie Jinchuan had not yet come back. Shen Qingli thought for a moment, prepared some food, and drove toward the Xie Corporation building. However, upon arriving downstairs, she noticed the receptionist’s troubled expression.

"Madam, why don't you wait here for a moment? Let me call the President first?"

Seeing the receptionist’s hesitant demeanor, Shen Qingli realized something. She looked at her and asked, "Has someone come?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Shen Qingli, the receptionist could only nod. "Madam, I couldn't stop the person, and the President doesn't want to see her, but she is truly aggressive..."

Hearing this, Shen Qingli understood who it was; it must be her "good friend."

"It's fine, don't worry. I'll go up myself. No need to announce me." She held the food container, gave the receptionist a gentle smile, and stepped into the elevator.

On her shoulder, Green Coriander couldn't help but grumble, [This Rong Qiaoyi, how dare she come to pester him? Isn't she afraid the Immortal will smack her to death with one punch? Although, for certain reasons, he can't.]

[But he has already taught her plenty of lessons; how can she be so incorrigible!]

"Certain reasons?" Shen Qingli asked. "What reasons are you keeping from me too?"

Realizing it had slipped up, Green Coriander immediately went silent and played dead. Shen Qingli didn't have time to press for details, as the elevator had already stopped at the office floor.

When the assistant saw the Madam had arrived, he trembled as if he wanted to call out, but Shen Qingli stopped him. "No need, I'll go in and see."

The assistant nodded and sighed internally; finally, someone who could handle their President had arrived. Because it was the President's office, it was quite large, with an inner suite behind the main doors.

Shen Qingli had only taken a few steps when she heard the man’s impatient voice: "Get out!"

Then came the woman’s soft, "green tea" voice: "Xie Jinchuan, don't forget the deal between us. I'm discussing this with you; don't you want Shen Qingli to recover as soon as possible?"

"As long as you agree to my request, I will immediately hand over my power to her."

Xie Jinchuan frowned. "Not interested."

Having been there for half an hour with no success, Rong Qiaoyi couldn't help but feel irritable. "Don't you want her to go back as soon as possible? Or are you truly using her to complete the things you want to achieve yourself?"

A flash of craftiness crossed Rong Qiaoyi’s eyes. With a slight movement of her fingers, the power of the Deer Spirit masked Shen Qingli’s aura. She felt a surge of calculation, unaware that everything was being perceived clearly by the woman standing behind her.

"I know you want to resurrect her, but right now, only I..."

Before she could finish, the man suddenly stood up, his face dark as he strode toward her. The aura radiating from him made her heart tremble.

"Xie Jinchuan... you, you need to calm down, I'm just here to discuss a partnership." She knew this look on the man’s face too well; it was a sign of his rage.

Sure enough, the next second, her arm was violently grabbed and wrenched out of its socket.

The pain caused sweat to bead on Rong Qiaoyi's forehead.

"Don't forget why I’ve kept you alive. Know your place. Don't come wandering in front of me again, or I won't mind killing you outright." Xie Jinchuan warned in a low voice, his eyes chillingly cold.

However, upon seeing the smiling figure standing at the door, the coldness in his eyes vanished instantly, like a breeze blowing away mist. "Why are you here?"

Shen Qingli walked in, looked at Rong Qiaoyi thoughtfully, and then said with a grin, "I came to bring you food, but I arrived at quite the right time. I just happened to see Miss Rong in such a sorry state."

Looking at the smiling Shen Qingli and then at the completely transformed expression of Xie Jinchuan, she reached out and popped her arm back into place.

*Click.*

The sound was distinct. Shen Qingli stepped forward. "Miss Rong, you are truly busy. Not only do you have to look after my affairs, but you also have to attend to Jinchuan here. You've really worked hard."

Watching the woman who had placed a hand on her shoulder with a pointed look, Rong Qiaoyi’s eyes flickered. She thought about how she had sent people to deal with Shen Qingli today, but it seemed it had been of no use.

"Me, busy?" Rong Qiaoyi sneered. "Shen Qingli, you really are something. You want what's in the pot and what's in the bowl, with both of them revolving around you. You must feel great, right?"

After saying this, she turned to look at Xie Jinchuan again. "Think carefully about what I told you. Do you really want to cooperate with me? I think you know the answer in your heart."

"I won't disturb your date any longer."

Having dropped those words, Rong Qiaoyi left decisively.

Shen Qingli raised an eyebrow. Hearing from Green Coriander that those men had woken up and were currently hunting for Rong Qiaoyi, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Very well... Rong Qiaoyi’s streak of bad luck was about to begin.

With a slight flick of her finger, she sealed off Rong Qiaoyi’s ability to use spiritual power. Once everything was done, she turned back to look at Xie Jinchuan.

"It seems some people are really quite the charmer, aren't they?" She blinked, staring at Xie Jinchuan with a smile.
