When Shen Youjin woke up the next day, her phone was flooded with countless missed calls, all from Jiang Zeshen.
He deliberately came with flowers to apologize, but in fact, he was scheming against her, using her to provoke Fu Qingye.
Now he even dared to call. Did he really think she had a good temper and could be easily manipulated?
She simply pretended not to see the calls. She had no time to deal with Jiang Zeshen for the moment. She had more important things to do.
After getting up and tidying herself up, she started to browse the news about Ling Qiuqiu's family.
Since it was related to medical issues, the topic had remained hot.
Especially in the interview with that HIV - positive patient. Even though he was wearing a mask, his triangular eyes still looked so vulgar.
She made a few phone calls and then went out.
During her long stay in Kyoto, she had made some connections.
After all, they might not respect her as a person, but they would surely respect the money in her hands.
For a long time, she could only feel secure by sleeping with those bank cards under her pillow.
That was her foundation for standing firm and her confidence that surpassed any backing.
Just like now, she easily had someone control that HIV - positive patient and made him record an apology video.
Watching that sneaky - looking man kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, Shen Youjin casually left a bank card and then turned around and left gracefully.
Having experienced Chi Tingwan's desperation, she knew there was no good in forcing such a person into a corner. This time, she was more cautious.
Fortunately, her bodyguard was very responsible. He watched the patient board the train before coming back to report.
With this man taken care of, only Chen Rubin was left. This was not something that could be solved by force or money.
She had been busy all morning. By noon, when she sat in the restaurant, she still hadn't come up with a solution.
This Chen Rubin was impervious to all persuasion. It was obvious that he not only wanted the Ling family's property but also Ling Qiuqiu herself.
Just as she was worrying, the waiter suddenly brought over a cup of high - end coffee with a beautiful rabbit latte art on it.
"Beauty, this coffee is from that gentleman over there. He wants to know if he can make friends with you."
She only glanced indifferently at the coffee and then looked at the middle - aged man not far away who was smiling and waving at her.
"No. I only like cute young guys."
After saying that, she snapped her fingers, and five bodyguards immediately appeared beside her seat.
The middle - aged man, who was initially unhappy, immediately lost his temper. He had just stood up but quickly sat back down.
He originally thought that such a beautiful woman sitting there alone in a daze was just looking for a rich man. He didn't expect her to be a rich young lady. Otherwise, how could she afford so many bodyguards?
Moreover, looking at the logos on the collars of those five bodyguards, they were from the most expensive bodyguard company in Kyoto. He couldn't help but feel a little scared and soon got up and left.
Looking at his panicked back, Shen Youjin couldn't help but sneer. Some men were really interesting, as if as long as they took the initiative, women would be grateful and stick to them.
Especially those with a little money. As soon as they saw a beautiful woman, they would label her.
How cheap!
After lunch, Shen Youjin scrolled through the contacts on her phone, wondering who to ask for help.
The first person to be excluded was Li Nanchuan. Thinking of Bai Ningxi walking side by side with him in the Western restaurant, she couldn't bother him anymore.
The second one was Gu Zhiyuan. This old fox was someone she wouldn't turn to unless it was absolutely necessary.
Apart from them, only Jiang Zeshen, Fu Qingye, and Bai Beichen were left.
Jiang Zeshen had schemed against her. Now she didn't even want to say a single word to him. She would only consider him if no one else could help.
So only Fu Qingye and Bai Beichen were left. Bai Beichen was good at providing emotional support when it came to eating, drinking, and having fun, but he was completely useless in this kind of matter.
To be on the safe side, she first sent a message to Fu Qingye. After waiting for a while, her phone rang.
Fu Qingye: "Busy. In a meeting! I'll call you later."
The hopeful look in Shen Youjin's eyes instantly dimmed. By the time he finished the meeting, he might not even remember her.
Fu Qingye was like this. Eight out of ten times he broke his promises. Every time he said he would remember to call her back, but he always made her wait from dawn till dusk. She didn't think he would change this bad habit after they broke up.
After thinking it over and over again, she finally had no choice but to call Bai Beichen.
The phone had just rung three times when it was quickly answered. There was a noisy background sound, and it seemed that Bai Beichen was outside.
"Sister, what's up?"
Just as Shen Youjin was about to speak, a familiar voice flashed by. She thought she had misheard.
Was it him? Why was he with Bai Beichen?
"Is it convenient to talk now?" she hesitated for a couple of seconds and asked. "Is there anyone beside you?"
"Sure!" Bai Beichen glanced at Bai Ningxi and the tall and handsome man beside him and deliberately raised his voice. "I'm out shopping with my sister. I'll find a place to talk to you right away."
Thinking of that voice just now, Shen Youjin was instantly glad that she had excluded Li Nanchuan first.
After a while, Bai Beichen seemed to have found a quiet place. He once again turned on his puppy - wagging - tail mode.
"Sister, are you free to have dinner with me? Shall we go to that Thai restaurant we went to before? Or..."
"Bai Beichen..." Shen Youjin couldn't help interrupting him. "I have something I'd like to trouble you with."
Bai Beichen was stunned for a moment. As far as he could remember, this was the first time Shen Youjin had asked him to do something.
For some reason, he instinctively straightened his back. "Sister, just tell me."
Shen Youjin told him the matter and quietly waited for his answer.
Bai Beichen's eyes became hesitant. "I don't have real power in the company. I can only ask my brother or sister about this, but if I do that..."
If he did so, even if Bai Yueheng and Bai Ningxi agreed, Bai's parents would probably come to her.
"It's okay. I'll think of another way." Shen Youjin pursed her lips. "You go ahead with your business first."
She wasn't surprised by this answer, but she still felt a little disappointed.
This meant that only Jiang Zeshen was left. This was really a question whose answer she didn't want to write.
After hanging up the phone, a look of sadness flashed across Bai Beichen's eyes.
Maybe he really couldn't just be a care - free young master who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun anymore.
When he slowly walked back to Bai Ningxi's side, Bai Ningxi immediately noticed the change in her younger brother's mood.
She gently shook the ivory - carved folding fan in her hand and still had a calm smile on her face.
After a while, Bai Beichen suddenly said, "Sister, I'll go to the company with you tomorrow. I want to get familiar with the company's business."
As soon as he said this, not only Bai Ningxi but also the silent Li Nanchuan beside them were a little surprised!
