Chapter 1062: Chapter 1051: You Are Not Qualified to Enter
Dragon City Commercial Street.
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly.
Pedestrians hurried along the street, occasionally looking up at the sky with disgruntled faces, cursing, “The sun’s so intense, it’s killing me!”
Several students, dressed in school uniforms, rushed out of the campus and instead of heading to the usual snack bars near the commercial street for lunch, they gathered inside a milk tea shop, urgently calling out to the owner, “Two large iced lemon waters, hurry up!”
The milk tea shop owner beamed widely, too busy to wipe the sweat continuously dripping from his forehead, frantically preparing cup after cup of milk tea for the customers.
Near the commercial street, in a budget hotel.
Through the scorching light, a single room on the third floor had thick curtains completely blocking out the outside light.
The air conditioner in the room was set to a very low temperature, its blades whirring alongside the sound of dripping water. It was somewhat irritating to hear, yet it revealed a sense of immersion distinct from the outside world.
On the single bed, a slender figure curled up into a ball, much like a baby in a mother’s womb, with her head buried in her knees.
Qiu Xiuxiu hadn’t gone out or eaten anything for the entire day.
Usually a foodie, she now had no appetite whatsoever.
Tears flowed incessantly, and she couldn’t remember how many times she had cried.
Why were there so many tears, even though she hadn’t had water in a long time?
Is it possible that all the tears of my life will be drained today?
Qiu Xiuxiu pursed her lips and curled up even more tightly.
Although the temperature from the air conditioning made her feel a bit cold, she had no intention of turning it up.
The cold breeze from the air conditioner was already insignificant compared to the bone-chilling cold in her heart.
Every time she closed her eyes, the image of the lounge relentlessly flashed through her mind.
Ning Fan’s fiery breath and rough actions made her involuntarily frown even in recollection, as if she were experiencing the same pain as that day.
Following that, Ouyang Feifei’s probing gaze surfaced in her mind, adding more grievance to Qiu Xiuxiu’s sorrow.
“How am I going to face Feifei in the future?”
Qiu Xiuxiu helplessly thought, “Perhaps leaving here, leaving the Shadow Team, and leaving everyone’s sight is the best choice for me.”
She did not hate Ning Fan, although Ning Fan treated her in a nearly coercive manner, Qiu Xiuxiu still couldn’t muster any hatred towards him in her heart.
She only hated herself, for being in the lounge at that time and place.
“What should I do?”
…
No one could answer Qiu Xiuxiu’s question. At this moment, Ning Fan and Ouyang Feifei had already packed up and were seated in the company car, heading towards the building where Hongtu Construction Company was located.
“Hongtu Construction Company, Chairman Lv Wenlong, was a famous contractor in Dragon City more than ten years ago, managing five or six construction teams under him. Later, when he made money, he set up his own construction company.”
Ouyang Feifei sat in the front passenger seat, cheerfully introducing Hongtu Company’s background to Ning Fan, “This time, Lv Wenlong owed our company fifty million because the land for a building they completed this year in Australia was jointly developed with an Australian company.”
“After the building was completed, it was already sold by the Minister of Commerce to Lv Wenlong. According to the contract, the payment should have been received by the day before yesterday at the latest, but the accounting team didn’t receive the money.”
“I know, stop reciting all this, just find the place and get the money.”
Ning Fan impatiently waved and interrupted Ouyang Feifei’s introduction.
With a hint of gloom in his eyes, Ning Fan snorted coldly from his nose and said, “Knowing the place and who owes us, these two pieces of information are enough. Dare to owe me money, I’ll get back the interest along with the principal for these two days!”
Ouyang Feifei put away the documents, looking at Ning Fan’s rather severe side profile, a strange look flashed in her eyes. She giggled foolishly, then realized this expression was inappropriate and quickly lowered her head.
“Mr. Ning is right.”
Ouyang Feifei replied softly.
Ning Fan drove the car at high speed, and upon arriving at the building where Hongtu Construction Company was located, he executed a sharp stop with a tail drift, pulling the car directly across the company’s entrance.
Suits coming in and out of the company at that moment were startled, quickly avoiding Ning Fan’s car.
“How are you driving? Do you even know how to drive!”
“Where’s the security, can’t you do something!”
The crowd pointed at Ning Fan’s car, cursing loudly.
Ning Fan snorted coldly, got out of the car directly, and scanned his eyes over the group of suit-clad men scolding him with hands on their hips, “Scram!”
A single word sent the suit-clad men fleeing.
They suddenly realized that Ning Fan’s gaze was incredibly terrifying, exerting immense pressure on these IT men who were always buried in office documents and not physically strong.
While the suit-clad men speculated about Ning Fan’s background, security guards startled by the commotion at the entrance walked over with displeased faces.
“Hey, you there, yes you, where you from, do you know what this place is?”
The security guard on the left raised a plastic rod, looking at Ning Fan with hostility, “Drive your car and get lost.”
Facing the two uniformed security guards, Ning Fan had no desire to converse with them, pointing to the company lobby behind them, he said, “Let Lv Wenlong come out, tell him Xu Corporation is looking for him.”
“Hey, our chairman’s name is not for you to call!”
The security guard on the left, eager to protect his boss, was about to reprimand Ning Fan but was pulled aside by the security guard on the right.
“Dazhuang, calm down, see that car, it’s a Porsche!”
“So what if it’s a Porsche?”
“You fool, if he dares to call our chairman’s name directly and is driving a Porsche, he might be some rich or influential heir. If you really offend him, do you think the chairman would stand up for you?”
“Uh…”
The security guard named Dazhuang lowered his head, thought for a while, and earnestly replied, “No.”
“Then there you go, stay here, I’ll go notify the manager.”
The security guard on the right patted Dazhuang’s shoulder and whispered, “We’re just ordinary security guards. Don’t worry about things we can’t handle. Let the manager deal with any issues. That’s called letting the capable do more work!”
“Brother, you sure have a way.”
Dazhuang gave a thumbs up to the older guard upon hearing this.
Not long after, the older guard returned to the entrance of Hongtu Construction Company, panting. Behind him, a round and stocky man in a suit walked over to Ning Fan and Ouyang Feifei with a displeased expression.
“Are you the one who wants to see the chairman?”
The man in the suit sized up Ning Fan from head to toe.
