————————————

At first, everyone thought he was just a naive youngster.

But unexpectedly, the situation took a dramatic turn. It turned out he was an impressive figure. When faced with those thugs, almost everyone thought he was done for, yet he launched a stunning counterattack and ended up achieving a glorious, decisive victory.

What does it mean to be low-key?

What does it mean to truly show off!

Today, this young man taught everyone a vivid lesson on these concepts!

A youth who could casually mention a sum of one billion, who has mysterious connections with someone as prestigious as Chen Jianguo, yet walks among the common folk in plain clothes without displaying an ounce of arrogance... At the critical moment, he revealed his identity, slapped those arrogant bullies in the face, and trampled them underfoot!

They all knew that for a long time to come, they would not be able to stop talking about this mysterious young man.

In the crowd, that stunning figure looked at Xiao Yi in the center of attention and humphed through her nostrils, muttering to herself, "I’ll let him off today, but I’ll settle the score with him properly another day." Then she followed the dispersing crowd towards a nearby BMW, got in, and drove away.

Xiao Yi didn’t pay attention to the onlookers starting to leave or their gazes. After seeing Situ Hongliang and the armed police off, his eyes fell on Wang Qingqing and Li Xiaomei next to him. A smile playing on his lips, he began to introduce them to Chen Jianguo, "Uncle Chen, this is Wang Qingqing, my senior at Z University, a very impressive senior. She often takes care of me at school."

Wang Qingqing was still immersed in the awe-inspiring, justice-filled orders issued by Situ Hongliang moments before, her heart still pounding. She hadn’t expected Xiao Yi to suddenly bring Chen Jianguo over and introduce her to him, catching her completely unprepared and sending her heart into a flutter, her face also turning flustered.

Although Wang Qingqing had been in G City for less than two years, she had already heard of Chen Jianguo before, and the prestige of Jianguo Group was something almost every resident of G City was aware of. Especially for a Z University student, the Jianguo Group was a prime employer after graduation. Moreover, Chen Jianguo’s rags-to-riches story without any background, building a vast empire alone in G City, was an inspirational tale often discussed among the students, making the name familiar to her.

Yet she never imagined that one day she would come face-to-face with such a legendary and seemingly unapproachable figure.

And when she heard Xiao Yi saying she often took care of him at school, her cheeks flamed up to her ears.

Ever since she knew Xiao Yi, he was the one who had always looked after her. When had she ever taken care of him? Her gaze shyly darted towards Xiao Yi, and as she was about to say something, Chen Jianguo’s booming voice filled the air.

"Haha... good to meet you, Miss Wang. I am truly grateful for your care towards Young Master Xiao."

Chen Jianguo had been focused on the few people in the center earlier and was busy talking with Situ Hongliang. He had only glimpsed Wang Qingqing and Li Xiaomei when he first arrived, without paying much attention. Now that he heard Xiao Yi’s introduction, his eyes turned to the two women and they lit up upon seeing them.

A beautiful girl indeed, and what was even rarer, he sensed an aura of natural grace about her, as if she was an unpolished gem untouched by the dirt and grime of the ordinary world.

After silently admiring her for a moment, he glanced at Xiao Yi and noticed a hint of warmth and amusement in his eyes. He saw that Xiao Yi seemed slightly shy when introducing her, which was something he had never seen in Xiao Yi before. Considering that Xiao Yi had gone to such lengths today for this girl, and now he was introducing her, the implications became even clearer.

But Young Master Xiao was truly living up to his name, with an excellent eye for people. This girl, though her demeanor seemed a bit unpolished for now, he could foresee that with a little grooming, she would inevitably become a beauty that could topple empires.

Even now, standing beside each other, they looked to be a perfect match, a fine pair of equal talents and beauty.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, a warm and kind smile spread across his face as he reached out his hand to Wang Qingqing.

"Chen... Director Chen, don’t listen to Xiao Yi’s nonsense. In fact, at school, it has always been him taking care of me. I haven’t really taken care of him at all!"

Seeing the incredibly warm smile on Chen Jianguo’s face and the hand he extended in gratitude, Wang Qingqing’s expression became even more flustered. She quickly reached out her hand to shake Chen Jianguo’s, trying to clarify in a panic.

"Haha... Miss Wang, you can just call me Uncle Chen like Xiao Yi does, no need to be so formal."

Watching the flustered look on Wang Qingqing’s face, Chen Jianguo grew even fonder of her. Her fluster was a manifestation of traits he liked about her, and at this moment, such manifestation couldn’t be faked.

He laughed heartily. How could he not know? Given Xiao Yi’s capabilities, why would he need her to take care of anything? But this further illustrated that in Xiao Yi’s mind, this young girl held an extraordinary position.

"That’s right, Senior Qingqing, Uncle Chen is so approachable, just call him Uncle Chen."

Xiao Yi was unaware of Chen Jianguo’s current thoughts, not knowing that his introduction of Wang Qingqing was seen as an introduction to a girlfriend, or at least a potential girlfriend. Hearing Chen Jianguo’s words, he naturally laughed and commented from the side.

"Uncle Chen."

In her panic, Wang Qingqing didn’t think too much. Chen Jianguo’s standing was so high that she hardly dared to look him in the face.

Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, she mustered up her courage with her head bowed and called out.

"Good, good."

Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Chen Jianguo’s heart grew even more certain about Wang Qingqing’s status, elevating her in his mind. His face brimmed with joy, and he was so elated that he couldn’t stop smiling. Although he virtually regarded Xiao Yi as a half-master, he also saw Xiao Yi as a younger family member. Seeing him find such a good girlfriend thrilled him as though his own child had brought home a beautiful daughter-in-law. His excitement and joy left him speechless, only managing to utter "good" repeatedly.

It took a while for him to remember that as an elder and meeting her for the first time, he ought to give Wang Qingqing something. He frantically searched but lamentably, having rushed out that day without notifying Liu Yuan and going directly, he had brought nothing but his wallet and a car key to the vehicle he had just driven.

A blush crossed his face at the realization, his gaze finally landing on the keychain. His eyes lit up as he joyfully extended the car keys to Wang Qingqing, saying, "Miss Wang, this is our first meeting, and because I was in such a rush, Uncle Chen didn’t prepare any gift. That Beetle up front, I just bought it to give to my daughter, but let’s consider it a gift for meeting you today. I’ll prepare a better gift another day."

Ah?

Once Chen Jianguo finished speaking, not only was Wang Qingqing taken aback and at a loss, but those bystanders who had yet to disperse or whose shops were nearby let out exclamations of surprise.

Presenting a Beetle on the first meeting!

Although the Beetle wasn’t a particularly luxurious or expensive car, it still cost several hundred thousand...

In Chen Jianguo’s mouth, it seemed like it was hardly a presentable gift...

What a generous gesture!

Typical of Chen Jianguo; indeed, he was not one to quibble over money!

Almost instantly, all the onlookers drew in sharp breaths of surprise, looking enviously at Wang Qingqing and Li Xiaomei beside her, their eyes filling with jealousy, especially those who knew Li Xiaomei from the neighborhood.

They knew that Li Xiaomei’s fortunes had definitively turned for the better, changing her destiny!

This little girl, just mentioned as her niece, had linked up with Chen Jianguo—how could her fate not change? Who was Chen Jianguo? He was the chairman of several listed companies, reputedly worth billions. Even if he gave just a small fraction of what fell through the cracks of his fingers, it would suffice for Li Xiaomei and her entire family to live comfortably for a lifetime!

Even Xiao Yi didn’t anticipate Chen Jianguo pulling off such a stunt and looked slightly surprised.

But besides helping Wang Qingqing gain some satisfaction and protecting her inner purity of belief, Xiao Yi had another goal in meeting with Chen Jianguo today. It was to take this opportunity to explain to Wang Qingqing and solve one of his own worries, as well as to help her and Li Xiaomei’s family improve their living conditions so she could focus wholeheartedly on studying and growing in school.

Thus, he didn’t stop Chen Jianguo’s gesture.

After all, he would eventually repay any favor Chen Jianguo did for him, and for both of them, a Beetle costing several hundred thousand was no big deal.

Having a car for daily use seemed quite nice for Senior Qingqing, and this particular one seemed to suit Wang Qingqing’s temperament quite well.

His gaze swept toward the corner of the street where a silver-black Mercedes was slowly driving away, a light green Beetle full of charm just behind it. Imagining Wang Qingqing driving that car, a faint smile appeared on his lips. (To be continued.
