Instead of checking her phone immediately, she stood up and shook hands with the manager on the other side. "I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance."
"President Qing is a straightforward person. I believe our cooperation this time will be enjoyable," the manager replied with a smile.
The manager was satisfied with her response and said, "As long as the delivery is on time and the quality is not an issue, we will continue to collaborate."
"Understood," Qing Yan lifted the corner of her lips. "We have always pursued excellence in our craftsmanship, so please rest assured."
The manager left with a smile.
Qing Yan watched her get into the car before taking out her phone. She saw that Si Yechen had called her twice, so she dialed back. "What's up?"
"Busy?"
"Yeah, I just met a business partner."
"I want to be your business partner too," Si Yechen's voice was filled with deep longing. "That way, I can see you more often."
Qing Yan slightly raised her lips. "Don't we already spend very little time together every day?"
"Very little," Si Yechen affirmed. "Extremely little. I want to see you every minute and every second, to be with you."
Qing Yan walked along the road. "Alright, I'm about to call a car now. Let's talk when I get back?"
"Are you alone out there?" Si Yechen thought she was with her assistant. "I'll come pick you up. Where are you?"
"No need, the office is close by. I'll just take a taxi."
"Let me pick you up. I want to pick you up."
Si Yechen had already left his office. Qingmu saw him hurrying and thought something had happened!
Helplessly, Qing Yan sent him her location and stood by the roadside, waiting.
There weren't many shops on this street. Besides the cafe from earlier, several consecutive shops were empty. Behind her was a vacant lot covered in weeds, giving off a desolate atmosphere.
At this moment, she took out her phone and was dealing with personal matters. After a while, three cars stopped in front of her.
She raised her lazy gaze and saw that the person getting out of the car with a beaten-up face was Yin Qing. At the same time, she had brought her own younger brother, Yin Wu, and over a dozen thugs.
"It's her!"
Yin Qing had originally planned to go to the mountain to settle accounts with Yin Panpan and Li Chunyuan. But unexpectedly, she encountered Qing Yan, who was alone on the road!
It was truly heaven helping her!
"This bitch slapped me a few times and even kicked me!" Yin Qing complained to her brother.
A gust of wind brushed by, lifting Qing Yan's long hair. Her fresh and ethereal face left Yin Wu dumbfounded.
Beautiful!
Too beautiful!
"Yin Wu, what are you staring at! Aren't you going to stand up for your sister?!" Yin Qing's face was swollen, so swollen that she couldn't even cover it with one hand. She pushed Yin Wu's shoulder in anger.
Although Yin Wu had seen many beautiful girls before, Qing Yan was the first one with such a temperament!
With his hands in his pockets, Yin Wu walked confidently towards Qing Yan, "Was it you who beat up my sister like this?"
Qing Yan casually raised an eyebrow, as if she didn't care about them at all.
Are these dozen or so lackeys and this inexperienced brat underestimating her?!
"If you know what's good for you, kneel down and kowtow ten times to me..." Yin Qing thought that with her brother backing her up, she could show off her might in front of Qing Yan.
Qing Yan glanced at her pig-like head and said indifferently, "Isn't she still alive? You want people to pay their respects so soon? The coffin hasn't even been laid down yet, and you want to act like an ancestor?"
"You... you..." Yin Qing was furious and speechless, her expression twisted with rage.
"Sharp-tongued, aren't you?" Yin Wu was quite interested. "If you don't want to kneel... that's fine too. Just accompany me, make me happy, and we can turn the page on this matter with my sister."
"Yin Wu, what are you saying! I asked you to teach her a lesson!" Yin Qing didn't want to turn the page so quickly; she hadn't even had the chance to beat Qing Yan fiercely yet.
Qing Yan raised an eyebrow, her gaze shifting to Yin Wu. "Here? I'm afraid it won't do."
She knew there were several surveillance cameras nearby, and it would leave evidence.
"If you're shy, we can go over there..." Yin Wu thought she agreed and looked towards the patch of weeds behind Qing Yan.
"Okay." Qing Yan took the lead and walked towards the patch of weeds. Yin Wu followed suit, while the dozen or so lackeys looked at Yin Qing, unsure if they should follow.
Several question marks popped up in Yin Qing's mind.
Wasn't this girl supposed to be tough? How did she back down so quickly?
Did she know that these thugs were tough, or was she trying to seduce her brother?
She couldn't possibly think that with her average looks, she could climb up the Yin family, could she?!
Ha, what a delusional idea!
A girl like her is only worthy of being played around by her brother!!
Qing Yan arrived at the patch of weeds. The grass here had grown up to knee height. She turned around and said to Yin Wu, "This will do."
Yin Wu didn't expect this girl to choose a location. If they lie down here, it would block the view of others.
She's quite shy, huh.
"Just you?" Qing Yan raised an eyebrow, glancing at the dozen or so thugs behind him, and casually asked, "Aren't the others joining in?"
"You little vixen, you're quite feisty... Big brother alone can make you scream with pleasure until you're on the verge of death..."
How could he possibly let those underlings have a share of such a beautiful girl?
He intended to enjoy himself for at least ten days or half a month...
Before Yin Wu's hand could even touch Qing Yan's clothes, she swiftly seized it with lightning speed. Without even seeing what had happened, he found himself being thrown into the bushes, his face intimately acquainted with the dirt, with a mouthful of soil!
"Damn it." Yin Qing knew this brat was trouble. "What are you idiots waiting for? Go help!"
This little brat was truly audacious, daring to lay a hand on her precious little brother?
Did she not know how cherished her little brother was in their family?
The dozen or so thugs rushed towards Qing Yan. A glint of coldness flashed in her eyes as she swiftly kicked one of the thugs away, her delicate hand rapidly delivering punches, brutally striking another thug's abdomen.
A stick flew towards her in mid-air. Qing Yan caught the person's wrist, used it to hit him in the head, and then kicked him away.
There were still eight or nine thugs surrounding her. They all attacked at once, but Qing Yan first used one of them as a human shield, then proceeded to take them down one by one. Some thugs drew their long knives and slashed at Qing Yan. Not only did she swiftly dodge, but she also held the knife against the neck of the attacker, scaring him out of his wits.
Yin Qing stared in shock as Qing Yan knocked down one thug after another. The last one left was trembling in fear, raising his hands in surrender.
He voluntarily knocked himself out with a stick and fell into the bushes... quite a relief.
Qing Yan's gaze then fell upon Yin Qing.
Yin Qing was terrified. Damn it, damn it, she was the only one left!!
"Yin Wu... Yin Wu!!!" Yin Qing shouted several times, but her precious little brother didn't crawl out of the bushes. She was getting scared and couldn't fathom how there could be such a person in the world!
