Chapter 69: The Mischievous Little Ghost

  Qin Hua Yu saw Zhou Tong leaning intimately on Song Jian's arm, and his heart felt a inexplicable pang. He nodded slightly and said, "There's a rest area over there, let's go get some hot drinks."

  Four people walked towards the rest area on the left and ordered four cups of coffee at the counter, then sat down.

  Qin Hua Yu looked at Song Jian and said, "Oh, let me introduce you. This is one of my clients, Di Hao. Some products on my counter are his."

  Dai Hao felt a little disappointed when Qin Huayu introduced himself like that, he had also been sincere to Qin Huayu. Dai Hao was doing cosmetics sales work and was a second-tier agent. He acted as an agent for some cosmetics and then took them to various cosmetics counters for sale.

  Qin Hua Yu had just opened a cosmetics counter and the two people got to know each other like this.

  Since leaving Jin Bi Hui Huang, Qin Hua Yu was like a changed person, doing her own work diligently and earning wealth with her own hands. She had good eloquence and deep understanding of cosmetics, so the counter business was very good.

  After being in contact with Qin Huayu for a long time, Di Hao slowly fell in love with this older woman. From Qin Huayu, Di Hao saw a kind of intellectual beauty who was content with a simple life. At one point, when Di Hao was particularly struggling, Qin Huayu even took the initiative to help him by selling his products and letting him "stock up" on his shelves. As time went by, Di Hao felt a motherly love from her. After his career started to take off, Di Hao began to pursue Qin Huayu.

  Qin Hua Yu didn't want to delay the young Di Hao, so she told her that she used to be a princess in the luxurious KTV Jin Bi Hui Huang, but after Di Hao suffered for a while, she didn't give up and continued to pursue Qin Hua Yu.

  After a long time, although Qin Hua Yu did not agree to be Jia Hao's girlfriend, the relationship between the two had become very good.

  This time something happened at the counter, Qin Huayu's first thought was Zhai Hao.

  Song Jian nodded and said: "I'm Song Jian, this is my friend Zhou Tong. Zhou Tong, this is Qin Huayu, my friend."

  Di Hao hastily nodded towards Song Jian.

  Qin Hua Yu looked at Zhou Tong and smiled: "Song Jian, is this your girlfriend? She's really beautiful, congratulations to you both."

  Song Jianguang wanted to explain, but Zhou Tong had already spoken up: "Qin sister, you look great too. Song Jian also mentioned you to me."

  Song Jian glanced at Zhou Tong and changed the subject, saying: "Qin sister, what happened just now? Why did they want you to remove your counter? Was it because your counter's performance was poor and couldn't attract customers?"

  Qin Hua shook her head, lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, saying: "Nothing, let's just drop it."

  Dai Hao wanted to speak up, but seeing Qin Huayu didn't mention it again, he stopped himself.

  Song Jian tapped his finger on the table and said, "Qin Jie, although we haven't been in touch much lately, we can be considered as having a deep relationship. Last time, you helped me without regard for danger, but this time when you're in trouble, you didn't tell me. It's really hard to justify."

  Qin Hua Yu heard Song Jian say this, and a hint of joy flashed across her face.

  Zhou Tong also spoke up, "Qin sister, if there's any difficulty, just speak up. Maybe we can solve it. The general manager of this business hotel is a friend of my dad's. If they're intentionally making things difficult for you, Qin sister, just speak up."

  Listening to Qin Huayu say that she and Song Jian are boyfriend and girlfriend, Zhou Tong's mood is great, and he also starts to take charge. His father is the head of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and he is indeed very familiar with the manager of this commercial building, because every time a festival comes, the manager of Hongyan Commercial Building will bring some gifts to visit Zhou Yumin.

  Dai Hao also saw that Song Jian and Zhou Tong were not ordinary people, he glanced at Qin Hua Yu and said: "It's like this, Rain sister is selling things in a special cabinet here, but there's a rascal who always comes to make trouble. Moreover, he's not alone, often gathering a group of friends to cause trouble for Rain sister. The security guards in the mall have driven him away several times, but that person is like a mad dog, staring at Rain sister non-stop. After causing trouble seven or eight times, the mall had no choice but to ask Rain sister to leave. Because those people were already disrupting the normal business activities of the mall."

  Qin Hua Yu just lowered his head and didn't say a word.

  Song Jian furrowed his brow, but Zhou Tong slapped the table and said, "Damn it, in a society ruled by law, there are still such rascals. Qin sister, why didn't you call the police? And the security guards of the mall, why didn't they catch them all?"

  Dai Hao was stunned for a moment and could only smile wryly. It seemed that Zhou Tong was indeed a silly girl with zero social experience.

  Qin Hua Yu said: "It's not that easy, they come here just to make trouble, get caught and at most be detained for 24 hours before being released. Moreover, those people also have connections with some police officers from the local police station. As for the mall, it was out of helplessness, they didn't destroy any property in the mall, and the security guards didn't have the right to detain or beat them."

  Song Jian knew there was something fishy about this and asked: "Qin Jie, why do they always come to bother you?"

  Zhou Tong also said: "Is it, Qin sister, did you owe them money?"

  Dai Hao hung his head, his face pale. Qin Huayu smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "It's all some old, broken things. When I used to work at Jin Bi Hui Huang, I once entertained that Pihai. Now that Pihai guy sees me again, he thinks I'm still doing those shady dealings, so he insists on forcing me to...hmm, I refused, and he's been making things difficult for me."

  Dai Hao said with a scowl: "I also looked for that Pi Hai, told him Yu Jie had long quit her job, and Yu Jie wasn't the kind of woman who would flirt around, but Pi Hai just sneered at me and even beat me up."

  Zhou Tong found it somewhat inexplicable, but she also knew that this involved some of Qin Huayu's private matters, so she didn't ask further.

  Song Jian finally understood that it seemed that Pi Hai had seen Qin Hua Yu again, and felt that Qin Hua Yu was a casual woman, so he wanted to threaten Qin Hua Yu and force her to sleep with him.

  In the KTV private room, being a princess, although there won't be direct relationships with customers, it's unavoidable to be taken advantage of and touched all over. For this kind of woman, Pi Hai naturally thought they were all very casual, now that he met Qin Huayu again, he thought about doing something with her.

  "Ah, it's easy to meet the King of Hell but difficult to deal with a little devil. Pi Hai is a thorough scoundrel who doesn't have any proper work and spends his days doing unscrupulous things. He doesn't commit major crimes, but makes constant minor mistakes. I'm at my wit's end with him." Qin Hua Yu sighed, shaking her head, feeling a bit better after speaking out about the matter.

  Song Jian knew that Qin Huayu's life was not easy, so he patted the hand she had placed on the table and said, "Cheer up, Sister Qin. I'll help you deal with this matter."

  Dai Hao also said: "Right, Yu Jie, let's think of a way together, we'll get through the past. Anyway, it's almost New Year's, Yu Jie, you can withdraw from this counter and we'll go out to relax together."

  Qin Hua Yu shook her head, "I don't want to go anywhere, I just want some peace and quiet."

  Dai Hao hastily accompanied a smile and said: "It's not good to be cooped up here all day, Yu Jie, this time I got a quarterly bonus of 30,000 yuan, let's go out and have some fun together. Oh, it's an online donkey friend club organization, going to the Taklamakan Desert, the scenery there must be very open, can make people forget many unhappy things."

  Song Jian was startled and asked: "Going to the desert? When?"

  Qin Hua Yu gave Song Jian a strange look, "What? You want to go too?"

  Song Jian nodded and said: "I really had this idea, I was just about to join a travel group to go to the Taklamakan Desert."

  Di Hao hastily said: "Nowadays, there are very few tourist groups that organize trips to the desert. The weather is too cold and not many people want to go, so it's hard to get a group together. Moreover, there's also a risk involved. If Brother Song Jian wants to go, we can go together. It's a winter desert expedition organized by all the outdoor enthusiasts in Jiangnan Province. Oh, and it's just one week before departure."

  "Go to the desert?" Zhou Tong's eyes sparkled with little stars, "I really haven't been there before, Song Jian, let's go together, yeah, it's decided like that. Di Hao, how do we sign up for that thing you mentioned?"

  It turns out that Zhou Tong is also coming, Song Jian couldn't help but smile wryly. However, since it's an event organized by the Donkey Friends Club, there should be a lot of people. The more people, the safer it will definitely be.

  Qin Hua Yu saw Song Jian was also leaving, so he nodded and said: "Then let's do as Di Hao said, I'll withdraw from the counter, after the Spring Festival, we can think about work again."

  At this time, several chaotic footsteps came from the elevator side, and three men wearing black jackets walked upstairs, walking straight towards Qin Hua Yu's counter.

  Dai Hao's eyes flashed with hostility as he pointed at the three men and said, "It was them. The one in the middle is Pi Hai."

  Song Jian turned his head, sizing up the three men. All of them were over thirty years old, with their hands in their pockets and cigarettes in their mouths, looking like idle loafers. But surprisingly, the one in the middle, Pi Hai, had thick and short fingers, with many calluses on the back of his hand, and was actually a skilled fighter.

  Three people walked to Qin Huayu's counter and turned around, but didn't see Qin Huayu. The three of them turned around again and waited for another two minutes, still not seeing Qin Huayu's figure, so the three of them went downstairs and left.

  Song Jian stood up.

  Qin Hua Yu hastily grabbed Song Jian's arm and said, "Song Jian, don't be impulsive. I know you can beat them up, but there are really a lot of them, and they all have daggers hidden on their bodies. If someone gets killed..."

  Song Jian waved his hand at Qin Hua Yu and said, "Don't worry, I know what's important and will consider everything carefully."

  Zhou Tong also grabbed her bag and newly bought cosmetics, following Song Jian out.

  "Danger," Song Jian turned his head and glanced at Zhou Tong.

  Zhou Tong pouted, "I'm not afraid." Then she smiled softly and said, "With you here, what do I have to be afraid of?"

  Song Jian didn't think much and followed the three people out of Hongyan Mall with Zhou Tong.
