"Leader, the Chairman wants to speak with you," said the Rose Hall woman as she pulled out her phone, inwardly laughing bitterly.
The young mistress and the Chairman had never gotten along. They not only avoided meeting in person but had even blocked each other's phone numbers.
Yet today the Chairman wanted to speak with the young mistress, forcing her to personally deliver the phone. What had she done to deserve such karma—witnessing this scene before her?
Despite her internal complaints, she respectfully approached, holding out the phone.
Qiu Jiu'er was in no mood to take calls.
She rolled her eyes. "Tell him I'm busy. No time!"
The woman smiled weakly. "The Chairman said if you won't take his call, he'll come find you personally."
Has he lost his mind?!
Coming to find her now?
If the current situation were discovered, wouldn't she be finished?
If her father found out that Qin Tian had taken advantage of her, she probably wouldn't even need to go on any more blind dates—he'd just force her to marry someone right away!
With anger burning inside her, Qiu Jiu'er took the phone and dialed, snapping: "Early morning and you won't even let people sleep? If you have something to say, spit it out."
A steady male voice came from the other end: "Is that any way to speak to your father?"
Qiu Jiu'er retorted, "Listen or don't. If you won't speak, I'm hanging up."
Qiu Long snorted, "I've already heard about what happened at the base last night. Stay out of the White family's business from now on. And since Qin Tian has rescued the person, let it go—don't go looking for trouble with him."
What?
Not look for trouble with Qin Tian?
Anger surged within Qiu Jiu'er once more. "That's impossible! Someone rescued a person from my territory—that's like slapping me in the face. You might not care about your reputation, but I, Qiu Jiu'er, do. This matter can't just end like this!"
She didn't understand why her father, who usually stayed out of such matters, would specifically warn her about Qin Tian.
But one thing was certain: this wasn't over!
Seven times!
Taken advantage of seven times—how could she swallow this rage?!
Qiu Long sighed, "There are some people we can't afford to offend. Qin Tian's background is significant. Don't provoke him."
Qiu Jiu'er laughed, "I thought it was something else, but it turns out the great Chairman is afraid! Isn't Black Dragon Society the biggest power in Tianhai City? What, now we're afraid of some rich kid?!
Have you gotten old? If you've lost your nerve, just hand Black Dragon Society over to me. In your hands, it'll only decline."
Qiu Long rebuked her, "Stop the nonsense! Get back here for your blind date. If you don't find someone soon, forget about Black Dragon Society—I'll even take Rose Hall back from you!"
"On what grounds?! Rose Hall is my blood and sweat. If you dare interfere with Rose Hall, I swear I'll fight you to the end!" Qiu Jiu'er exploded.
"Oh, you old fool, what are you saying? Don't you know Jiu'er's temperament? If you push her too far and she does something rash, what then? Give me the phone, I'll talk to her!"
On the other end of the line, Qiu Jiu'er's mother scolded before taking the phone. Her voice carried warmth and affection: "Jiu'er, are you still there? It's Mom!"
"I'm here!" Qiu Jiu'er's anger subsided considerably.
Fang Chunya spoke patiently, "Jiu'er, you're already twenty. That's not young anymore. Girls your age often have two children by now, but you don't even have a boyfriend. How can your parents not worry?
Jiu'er, take your mother's advice: stop wandering around out there and come home. I've recently found a good match for you—he's six feet tall, clean-cut, and a high achiever who studied abroad."
Hearing this, Qiu Jiu'er's head was about to explode!
No matter how commanding and decisive she was, no matter how much authority she held in Rose Hall, when facing her family—especially her mother's incessant nagging—she was completely defenseless.
Gritting her teeth, she stubbornly replied, "No need for high achievers. I already have a boyfriend."
"Really? Is that true? Jiu'er, don't lie to your mother!" Fang Chunya became excited on the other end. Qiu Long's voice could be faintly heard saying, "Ask who this boy is."
"You know him. It's Qin Tian—the one you're afraid of." Qiu Jiu'er laughed coldly to herself. "Are you satisfied now?"
"Impossible!" Qiu Long took back the phone. "How could Qin Tian possibly get involved with you? Doesn't he know his own family background?"
Qiu Jiu'er was furious. "What do you mean? Are you saying I'm not good enough for Qin Tian?"
Qiu Long nodded. "You're definitely not good enough for him, but since you've said this, there must be something to it. What exactly happened?"
Crack!
The call ended.
No, to be precise, Qiu Jiu'er had smashed the entire phone!
The father-daughter conversation had completely broken down!
...
Meanwhile, Qin Tian, having slipped away without attachment, had returned to his villa and opened his system notifications.
"Ding! Plot has changed. Congratulations, host has gained +2,000 Destiny Villain Points."
"Ding! Host has conquered female protagonist Qiu Jiu'er. Congratulations, host has gained +50,000 Destiny Villain Points +1,000*6."
"..."
Silently reviewing the Destiny Villain Points that had been credited, Qin Tian was shocked.
Holy crap!
Conquering one female protagonist directly gave +50,000 Destiny Villain Points?
And that *6 afterward—didn't that mean he could continue generating villain points?
Was this sustainable development?!
He'd struck gold!
Having collected a massive amount of Destiny Villain Points, Qin Tian immediately purchased a point of Charm from the system shop. He left the rest untouched, planning to accumulate more and upgrade his Constitution once that upgrade completed!
[Character]: Qin Tian [Age]: 25 [Constitution]: 100 (upgrading) [Charm]: 99 [Destiny Villain Points]: 42,500 [Skills]: Affinity Lv8 (Group affinity +80), Advanced Piano Technique, Advanced Tea Ceremony, Advanced Calligraphy [Shop]: Open [Lucky Draw]: Open (Each draw consumes 100 Destiny Villain Points) [System Inventory]: Landlady's photoshoot album (1), Cleansing Tissues +1, Sister Bai's photoshoot album (1), Electric Massager +1...
Though he'd only increased his Charm by one point, building on a base of 98, Qin Tian felt as if his entire body was being bathed in a refreshing energy.
Jun Zi walked in and, upon seeing Qin Tian, appeared momentarily dazed before recovering. "Young Master, you called for me?"
Qin Tian drummed his fingers on the edge of the table, a smile playing at his lips. "How was your night? Did you score?"
Jun Zi rubbed his hands together, grinning. "I did, hehe! Thanks to you, Young Master. Otherwise, who knows how long I'd have been strung along! I have to say, Manager Zhang is quite something.
By the way, Young Master, since you've booked Slender Fingers Lotus for a month, we can't possibly go there every day for a whole month. I've already discussed it with Manager Zhang—we can go anytime, as long as we book at least thirty-one sessions."
Qin Tian waved dismissively. "Handle those things yourself. No need to report every detail to me.
You've had your fun, but we still have business to attend to. I have locations of several Black Dragon Society bases here. Take some men and shut them down."
