Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 354 - 353: Toiling Like a Beast of Burden

"Alright, as soon as you say sell, we’ll sell immediately. Promise it won’t last overnight."

Han Xiao agreed so cheerfully.

In this short year, Han Xiao didn’t have to spend any effort but made the money that his father had to work hard to earn by attending meetings, entertaining clients, and dining and drinking attentively. It’s enough to make Han Xiao feel smug.

Gu Xiaoqing looked at the scenery outside the car and asked, "Where are you taking me?"

"Haha, someone wants to see you."

Han Xiao said a bit awkwardly, feeling a bit guilty. Gu Xiaoqing had helped him so much, yet he...

But he couldn’t help it. With his small frame, if he didn’t want to die, he had to obediently comply. Couldn’t defeat others, could only obey.

Gu Xiaoqing looked at Han Xiao, feeling uneasy. The person must be someone she knew, but there weren’t many who could make Han Xiao this uneasy.

Fang Shaohan?

No way, Fang Shaohan wasn’t the type to be persistent. Even if he wanted to see her, he’d come himself, wouldn’t use others, especially Han Xiao, it simply wasn’t necessary.

The places she often went, Fang Shaohan knew them well.

So it must be someone else.

"Who wants to see me?"

Gu Xiaoqing placed the book on her lap. She hadn’t had the chance to put these books back home to avoid gossip.

Han Xiao smiled sheepishly, "Gu Xiaoqing, I really consider you a friend, but I just can’t fight them, it’s not my choice."

Quickly trying to clear his name, Han Xiao was a bit intimidated by Gu Xiaoqing. This girl had dared to kick him out almost naked from bed, that ferocity he remembered clearly.

Never mess with women.

"Why do I feel like you’ve sold me out? And for a pretty good price."

Gu Xiaoqing looked sideways at Han Xiao, his guilty expression unmistakable. If she couldn’t see through it, then there’s really a problem.

Who wants to see her?

Someone he can’t defeat?

Han Xiao knew he couldn’t hide anything, they’d be meeting the person soon, whether he hid or not, the person would appear.

"It’s Feng Qingyang."

Han Xiao responded softly.

Gu Xiaoqing suddenly turned her head, staring at Han Xiao as if she wanted to eat him. Han Xiao, scared, lowered his head, sitting upright, looking forward like a professional driver.

"Han Xiao, you really are a friend."

Gu Xiaoqing said through gritted teeth.

Feng Qingyang had bad intentions towards her; anyone with eyes knew this. Han Xiao dared to send her into the lion’s den, is that what friends do?

Han Xiao chuckled sycophantically, "Gu Xiaoqing, just say the word, I’ll learn from my mistakes, just this once, only this once."

He knew he wasn’t being noble, feeling full of remorse and intent on compensating.

Gu Xiaoqing saw the car stop outside an office building, "Han Xiao, you owe me a favor. You better think of how to repay me."

This person sold her out, at least it should be for a good price.

Han Xiao immediately promised, "You tell me how you want me to repay, and I’ll do it. How about I offer myself as a token?"

Still, his face carried a carefree expression.

Gu Xiaoqing slapped Han Xiao on the head, "You’re so full of it, even if you wanted to offer yourself, I wouldn’t be interested. Prepare to work like a horse and ox to repay me." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Han Xiao rubbed his hair and muttered, "My hairstyle..."

"Get out of the car then. Are you planning to stay here for life?"

Gu Xiaoqing opened the car door, left the book on the seat, and closed the door.

Han Xiao quickly got out, "So, you forgive me?"

"It’s not that I forgive you, but we’ve reached an agreement. You’ll repay me with your labor for your betrayal."

Gu Xiaoqing sneered, this kid is always such a joker.

"All because of that damned Feng Qingyang. Alright, alright, I’ll take you."

Han Xiao locked the car and led Gu Xiaoqing towards the building.

Gu Xiaoqing looked at the building; this is Shanghai’s prime location, even with future development and construction, it’s prime among prime geographies.

It seems Feng Qingyang is genuinely focusing on this as a key branch city.

But why meet her?

The two went straight to the twenty-eighth floor.

Knocking on Feng Qingyang’s office, the beautiful secretary saw Han Xiao and greeted him with a familiar smile. Clearly, he’s a regular here.

"The president is waiting in the office."

The secretary was so curious she didn’t have the decorum to pretend, instead observing Gu Xiaoqing.

Gu Xiaoqing followed Han Xiao into that big door.

Feng Qingyang was reviewing documents and upon hearing them, seeing Han Xiao and Gu Xiaoqing, he put down his pen, closed the documents and said, "You’re here, sit."

He pointed at the two chairs in front of him.

Han Xiao pulled out a chair for Gu Xiaoqing, gesturing for her to sit.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t hesitate and sat down.

"I’ve brought the person to you, whatever you have to say, say it yourself. You two talk, I’m heading out, whether you succeed or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Han Xiao was ready to escape.

Han Xiao didn’t want to get involved in this matter; who knows if Feng Qingyang could convince Gu Xiaoqing? It wasn’t a sure thing, coupled with his feeling of guilt towards Gu Xiaoqing, he definitely wouldn’t do anything that could harm her.

So escaping was the best bet.

Feng Qingyang lightly laughed, Han Xiao seems like he’s regressing more and more. Such a grown man, doing these small things, yet so thin-skinned.

Gestured to Han Xiao to leave.

Han Xiao left relieved.

The secretary at the door saw only Han Xiao come out and joked, "Mr. Han, you’re enjoying the leisure."

Han Xiao chuckled, "Of course, I don’t have much else, but I have a lot of free time. Get me a coffee, send it to the game room, I’ll play some games. Inform me when they’re done negotiating inside."

The entertainment room here at Feng Qingyang’s place has the most advanced computer game facilities. Not playing is a wasted opportunity.

After all, he sold out his best friend today.

Gu Xiaoqing was one of his best friends earlier.

Selling out a friend doesn’t need a bit of comfort?

The secretary nodded immediately.

This Mr. Han is the president’s best friend and a heir to the Han Family, both of them are quite untouchable. There’s no reason not to curry favor, and absolutely no excuse to be disrespectful.

The curious thing was, the lady who remained inside, being personally escorted by Mr. Han with such respect and staying in the president’s office, doesn’t look like a mere decorative piece.

The only logical assumption is that she’s also a distinguished heir with a powerful family background.

Yet judging by her attire, it doesn’t appear so.

The secretary seemed to burn a lot of brain cells yet couldn’t make sense of it.
