Chapter 407: VIP 370
"Dad, why did you suddenly come back?"
The airport.
The black Mercedes convoy was neatly parked by the roadside.
A group of people in suits stood respectfully by the cars, patiently waiting.
Shi Qianxi, linking arms with her father, walked out from the exit.
"Chairman."
The suited individuals bowed in unison.
Passersby looked on.
Someone opened the car door.
The father and daughter got into one of the cars.
"Is Ye Tingxuan in East Sea?"
"Dad, how do you know?"
Shi Qianxi couldn’t hide her surprise.
Shi Zhenhua had an inscrutable expression.
"Did he also smash your car?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Qianxi immediately nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick.
"Yes! Dad, he’s really too hateful. I didn’t provoke him at all. Dad, did you come back to avenge me?"
The convoy started up, and under the envious and awe-struck gaze of the onlookers, it left the airport.
"Did you ask him what he came to Jin Hai for?"
To his daughter’s complaints, Shi Zhenhua turned a deaf ear.
"I asked, but he didn’t say."
"Then how did you get rid of him?"
Shi Qianxi smiled proudly, with a look that practically begged for praise, "I called Jiang Chen over."
"Dad, although Ye Tingxuan is a lunatic, he still gives Jiang Chen some respect."
Shi Zhenhua was noncommittal.
"Dad, you have no idea how crazy Ye Tingxuan is. Last night, Jiang Chen invited him to dinner, and I summoned a female star to accompany him for drinks. It turned out that the starlet had an ambiguous relationship with a young master from the Xiong Family; that Bear came looking to take her away. In the end, Ye Tingxuan simply pulled out a gun and turned the guy into a eunuch."
Shi Qianxi relished the tale, turning the major disaster of Ning Hui being forced to kneel for protection into something that seemed like a slightly amusing topic of conversation.
Shi Zhenhua remained impassive, knowing full well that his daughter was exaggerating.
"Forget about the car. You always loved to bully others before. Experiencing being bullied isn’t necessarily a bad thing."
"Dad!"
Shi Qianxi vigorously shook her father’s arm.
Shi Zhenhua remained as still as a meditating monk, no longer speaking, resting with his eyes closed.
"Chairman!"
The convoy arrived at the base of Jin Hai Building.
The security uncle stood upright and saluted respectfully.
Shi Zhenhua nodded, and accompanied by his daughter and a host of others, entered the building.
"Alright, go on with your work."
The thirty-third floor.
Shi Qianxi stopped, watching her father’s retreating figure.
"Secretary Ma, do you know why my dad suddenly came back?"
She secretly called over the female secretary who hadn’t been on the job long.
Her father’s sudden change in schedule, rushing back from Korea, certainly meant something important.
Even though they were father and daughter, sometimes Shi Qianxi felt that she might not be as close to him as his secretary.
"Miss, I’m not very clear either..."
Secretary Ma looked troubled.
In the eyes of most, Shi Qianxi’s official position within the group couldn’t outshine the most prominent label of Jin Hai’s princess.
"Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone."
Secretary Ma was hesitant, and even if it went against her professional ethics, she ultimately dared not cross the group’s sole heir.
"I only know that Director Shi, today, seems to be entertaining a distinguished guest."
"Distinguished guest?"
What kind of prestigious guest warrants Dad ending his international trip early and rushing back?
Shi Qianxi brimmed with suspicion, but seeing the secretary’s demeanor, she didn’t have the heart to give her a hard time.
"Okay, you can go back to work."
The secretary left swiftly.
Shi Qianxi stood still, deep in thought.

"Museum."
Ye Tingxuan, who had caused a bloody incident upon his arrival in East Sea, stood in front of the wall, contemplating the calligraphy and paintings with great interest.
"Aunt Pei, you’re indeed generous. How about gifting me a few pieces?"
He obviously didn’t need to search the internet for information to determine their authenticity like Jiang Chen did.
In a private room.
A woman of transcendent grace, whose age was indiscernible, leisurely sipped her tea.
"If you like them, I’ll have someone send you a few rolls of toilet paper later. It’s the same thing."
Ye Tingxuan turned around and gave an awkward smile.
"Aunt Pei, don’t be so demeaning. I’m an educated person; I can appreciate art too. If you give them to me, I’ll take them back and treasure them."
The woman referred to as "Aunt" paid no attention.
Ye Tingxuan sighed.
"Forget it, a gentleman doesn’t covet what others enjoy."
Perhaps it was the first time the young prince sat down with such understanding, pouring himself a cup of tea.
Authentic Wuyi Mountain Dahongpao tea.
Priceless.
Yet he drank it as if it were mineral water, gulping it down in one go. Anyone well-versed in tea ceremonies would be heartbroken, beating their chests and stomping their feet in anguish, condemning this waste of a treasure.
Most importantly, after finishing his drink, he smacked his lips, discontentedly mumbling, "Not even as good as Sprite."
After saying this, he deliberately glanced at the woman and found that she ignored him completely.
This time, the young prince didn’t continue to brood over the rules of hospitality, but he sighed and put down the teacup.
The woman apparently indifferent to his wastefulness, poured him another cup.
"Aunt Pei, don’t pour anymore; I really can’t get used to this stuff."
"If you’re not accustomed to it, that’s why you need to drink it. Drinking more tea is good for cultivating one’s character."
The young prince smiled bitterly.
"Aunt Pei," he said, "just speak plainly. I’ll take it. If I’ve displeased you in any way, tell me, and I’ll correct it immediately."
"Do I look that old to you?"
The woman, who appeared nearly the same age as Ye Tingxuan from her skin and features, finally couldn’t help herself and asked.
"I didn’t mean it that way. It was purely out of respect, yes, respect!"
Ye Tingxuan quickly shook his head, earnestly.
"You just got to East Sea and already caused a death. What else do you plan to stir up next?"
Ye Tingxuan was startled. "The kid died?"
The woman spoke indifferently, "What’s the difference?"
"Aunt Pei, a matter this trivial shouldn’t concern you. I didn’t come to East Sea to cause trouble this time; I have legit business."
Ye Tingxuan’s demeanor suddenly turned serious.
"Kidnapping the Shi Family’s beloved daughter?"
Ye Tingxuan looked astonished, then gave a bitter smile and shook his head.
"How could that be possible."
"Every trade has its rules, and by doing this, you’re breaking the rules and causing unnecessary trouble for yourself."
"I’m not afraid of trouble."
The woman set down her teacup.
"You might not know, Miss Cao has come to East Sea."
"What?!"
Ye Tingxuan was shaken. "What’s she doing here?"
"As far as I know, she might be here to meet with Shi Zhenhua."
Ye Tingxuan’s eyes flickered dramatically, and he suddenly became restless.
"Aunt Pei, I’ve got some things to take care of, so I’ll be leaving first."
He abruptly got up, seemingly racing against time, and dashed out the door.
The woman watched the rippling full cup of tea, reached out to take it, and slowly poured it out.
