Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 333 - 332: Where Do Favors Fall

Fortunately, this meal ended quickly.

Stepping out of the restaurant, Gu Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief.

She wouldn’t naively think that Feng Qingyang’s gaze was due to any admiration for her. For the reborn Gu Xiaoqing, such an encounter of love at first sight was laughable; she didn’t believe in it, nor did she wish to believe in it.

This perfect driver, Feng Qingyang, drove them to the Qirui Building of the Feng Group.

The car stopped in the parking lot, and Feng Qingyang got out.

Gu Xiaoqing and Guo Donghua also exited the vehicle.

This was the first time for the two of them to come to this upscale office building. As people bustled about, everyone who saw Feng Qingyang greeted him with respect.

Feng Qingyang personally led the two into the entrance of Qirui.

The receptionist in the lobby almost kept a neutral expression as they greeted Feng Qingyang, watching the two women follow him up the elevator.

Only when Feng Qingyang and the others were out of sight did a few tall, beautiful receptionists gather together to speculate about what relationship the two girls, personally led inside by Feng Qingyang, had with President Feng.

One must know that Feng Qingyang is the youngest president of the Feng Group, an enterprise ranked in the top fifty globally. With such qualifications and background, any woman appearing by Feng Qingyang’s side easily sparks imagination.

After all, Feng Qingyang is still a renowned diamond bachelor, constantly surrounded by women aspiring to rise to power as a phoenix. Not to mention the many women eager for promotions.

Various entertainment headlines frequently feature Feng Qingyang’s ever-changing women. This young master’s turnover with women is exceedingly rapid.

Nobody knows which among them is most likely to become the matron of the Feng Group.

These receptionists often gathered to gossip about such news during idle times.

Especially today, since these two women were personally invited in by Feng Qingyang.

That was treatment they had never witnessed before. Typically, any woman chasing Feng Qingyang would be met with disdain, let alone waiting for his hospitality.

So, the receptionists began to discuss fervently, all secretly speculating on the mystery surrounding these two women.

Taking the private elevator, Feng Qingyang led Gu Xiaoqing and Guo Donghua to the twentieth floor, handed them over to the contract secretary, and then smiled his way back to his office.

Gu Xiaoqing and Guo Donghua were brought to an office, as the negotiating party had not yet arrived, leaving them to wait temporarily.

In the meantime, they could also review the contract.

Looking at the contract in her hand, all the terms fell within very reasonable ranges; even the restrictions on penalties and sales figures were within or below Gu Xiaoqing’s expectations. It was a remarkably precise contract.

Of course, Gu Xiaoqing was quite certain that this partner Feng Qingyang found likely belonged to a small subsidiary of the Feng Group.

Or maybe it was a trading company brought in as a favor from Feng Qingyang. But regardless of which it was, for a tiny contract that wasn’t even as significant as mosquito meat to require a CEO who manages billions to help, it seemed like overkill.

She undoubtedly owed Feng Qingyang a significant debt of gratitude.

The fact hadn’t been verbalized, but Gu Xiaoqing knew it without being told.

This awareness was clear in her heart.

She couldn’t pretend to be unaware.

Even today’s meal ended up being paid for by Le Fu’s owner out of his own pocket, so Gu Xiaoqing felt quite awkward, seemingly always taking advantage of Feng Qingyang.

Of course, she was still under the guise of being friends with Fang Shaohan and Han Xiao.

Even if she had no interest in Feng Qingyang, she couldn’t predict what he would think.

He might classify her as one of those women trying to gain benefits under the Feng Group’s name.

Upon returning to his office, Feng Qingyang received a call from Han Xiao, "Crazy guy, did you meet Gu Xiaoqing?"

Han Xiao had been concerned all night. He had informed Fang Shaohan about it, but Shaohan had no comment. He couldn’t comment either, as Shaohan was dealing with critical matters, making it impossible for him to even consider heading to Hong Kong to assist.

Yet just hearing Shaohan’s voice, Han Xiao knew he wasn’t pleased.

Regarding the grievances between Fang Shaohan and Feng Qingyang, Han Xiao couldn’t comment much. They were all his friends and once were the closest of friends, but things had ended up like this, leaving everyone with some resentment.

However, many things happen regardless of your desire to prevent them.

Han Xiao feared that Feng Qingyang might do something reckless, knowing that Shaohan was someone who, despite never saying much, was willing to make tough decisions without regard for his younger brother, Fang Shaonan’s feelings.

You could tell Shaohan was serious.

Compared to Shaohan, Feng Qingyang’s personality was equally extreme, if not more so.

Both were equally passionate and obsessive, possessing the pride and maturity of men their age, but whether they would interact maturely, Han Xiao didn’t know.

Protecting Gu Xiaoqing was an instinctual action for Han Xiao.

After some time together, Han Xiao had developed a fondness for Gu Xiaoqing, a fondness unrelated to romance but simply a meeting of like-minded friends.

"I’ve met her."

Feng Qingyang closed the file in his hand and handed it to his assistant across the desk.

The young assistant gently closed the office door.

"She’s a remarkable girl. If some tricky issues arise, give her a hand. Little brother appreciates it, and I’ll treat you to dinner when you come to Hong Kong."

Hearing this, Han Xiao felt much more at ease. Compared to himself, Feng Qingyang was much more dependable.

"Han Xiao, your words have me confused. Is Gu Xiaoqing truly your woman or Fang Shaohan’s? In the end, should I tally this favor with you or with Shaohan?"

Feng Qingyang squinted lazily as he spoke into the phone.

Han Xiao glanced aside, "Gu Xiaoqing is a woman Shaohan fancies, but she’s also my friend, a friend worth associating with. Credit this favor to me. I see that Gu Xiaoqing isn’t willing to accept a debt of gratitude from Shaohan."

Han Xiao wasn’t naive. Gu Xiaoqing’s actions hadn’t conveyed the slightest interest in Shaohan; it was clear she didn’t wish to be labeled a social climber. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Gu Xiaoqing had a very clear mind, adept at weighing pros and cons.

Yet Shaohan wasn’t someone who easily backed down, and their current stalemate was a form of contest.

Han Xiao greatly admired Gu Xiaoqing.

A woman with such clarity of mind was something he, as a man, found impressive.
