Ye Qian looked at Li Xiu Qin with eyes full of loathing and said: “I’ve never met a woman as unreasonable as you, do you have quality? A person with quality making a big fuss, like a meddling woman.” Ye Qian was more easygoing than the woman and was also respectful, but it was apparent that this woman was hard to reason with. She had aloof and remote manners, as though other people owed her millions. Ye Qian felt uncomfortable. He did not want to argue with her, who knew this woman might be some incessant nagger so he just said a few words to mock her.

Li Xi Qin could be be considered as part of the middle management of Tian Ya Conglomerate. She was the secretary of the general manager of the marketing department. When people saw her they bent their to to scrape and bow, they fawned over. But now this security guard in front of her was unexpectedly not attaching any importance to her and even dared to humiliate her. How can she swallow this anger in her heart. Moreover, she had not been in a good mood these past few days. Her own husband was hooking up with some young girl and was indifferent to her. There was no place for her to vent her feelings. “You dare to tell me off?” Li Xiu Qin angrily shrieked.ww

“Why would I not dare? Who do you think you are? You are out of bounds. You think that just because you wear a white shirt you are a white-collar worker? Cao! Why don’t you just piss on yourself and use it to look at your face, your menstruation is abnormal, you faded old woman.” Ye Qian said condescendingly. Wan Chun Hua who was standing at the side stared at Ye Qian in shock, secretly giving him a thumbs up as though saying, “Dude, you’re awesome.”

“You… You what is you name?” Li Xiu Qin angrily pointed a finger at him and shrieked.

“Aren’t you a very capable person? If you want to know my name go find out yourself.” Ye Qian replied. After saying this, Ye Qian did not feel like paying her any more attention and left. Wang Chun Hua saw this and hurriedly followed him. Li Xiu Qin who was left behind watched Ye Qian’s back and said angrily: “Heng, if this old hag doesn’t sort you out then my name isn’t Li.”

“Ye Qian, now you’re in trouble. Why did you offend that woman ah.” On the way back to the security office, Wan Chun Hua asked nervously.

“What? Is she so powerful?” Ye Qian asked with some astonishment, but his tone of voice made it apparent that he was not taking the situation seriously.

Wan Chun Hua replied: “You didn’t know at that time but within Tian Ya Conglomerate’s various departments, Li Xiu Qin is the worst. Offending that person is equivalent to getting dismissed from the company. Moreover, our captain also greatly admires this flirty woman. If he finds out you treated her this way today, I’m afraid Zheng Xin will give you trouble next time.”

Ye Qian smiled faintly and replied: “Afraid of what, that type of woman should be firmly told off, or else she always think that she’s so special, as if all men in the world have to wag their tails and beg before her. Besides, the worst is I just quit, what can she do to me.”

Wan Chun Hua sighed helplessly and said: “What you said is right, the worse is I would just quit. If the east has no light the west will be bright. Just because I leave this Tian Ya conglomerate doesn’t mean I cannot eat.

Ye Qian chuckled and replied: “Is that right. A gentleman can do what he needs to do, and cannot do what he shouldn’t do, if in doing ordinary things is afraid of the head and afraid of the tail, how can he do great things.”

First idiom above: A gentleman needs to have principles.

Second one: If one is always fearful and nervous.

Wan Chun Hua didn’t say anything further. Even though he felt that what Ye Qian said was right, but there were times when reality was very cruel, which sometimes did not allow one not to bow.

It was almost time to get off work. Ye Qian still felt very satisfied on his first day of work. Besides the little episode with Li Xiu Qin, on the whole nothing else happened. After work, Ye Qian called his colleagues over and together they went to the barbecue place. At first, Fu Jun Sheng wanted to refuse, but it could be that there was really a special kinship between soldiers. He and Ye Qian were kindred spirits. When he saw Ye Qian’s resolute eyes, Fu Jun Sheng could not say against the idea anything in the end.

A group of four people, Ye Qian, Wang Chun Hua, Fu Jun Shen and a person named Zhao Tie Zhu, The Northern Men, went to the nearby barbecue stall and found some seats. The barbecue stall’s owner was a woman. She wasn’t very old, seeming to be only a little over 30 years old. Her face had a knife wound extending from one corner of her eye to the corner of her mouth. Her face looked like a rotting watermelon rind. At first glance she seemed really terrifying. But after looking closely, if it weren’t for that scar, she could have counted as a pretty woman. Ye Qian even guessed that when she was young she certainly must have been very beautiful.

The orders of the four people were ready very fast, goat intestines, goat balls, oysters, even some bone cartilage, garlic and chives etc, along with some beer.

“Ai, do you guys want to hear this boss lady’s story?” Wan Chun Hua asked.

Ye Qian, Fu Jun Sheng and Zha Tie Zhu couldn’t but look towards him. Within his eyes, besides a questioning look there was also a mixture of shock and gloominess.

“Do you guys know of the capital’s Heaven on Earth?” Wan Chun Hua asked.

Besides Ye Qian, Fu Jun Sheng and Zhao Tie Zhu nodded. In China, there were only a few people who did not know of Heaven on Earth. Even though it had been eventually closed down by the government, it had still been all the rage for a while. Don’t know how many corrupt officials had lingered in gentle and soft town of Heaven on Earth.

Wang Chun Hua continued: “This boss lady was that place’s hottest club girl. The young masters and rich merchants pursuing her could be joined together to make a formidable force. But in the end, she fell in love with a gang leader, and she went off to marry him. But who knew that that gang leader would offend a powerful person. In the end he was hacked to death by the Huangpu River riverbank. She wasn’t let off either and was, unfortunately, they took turns on her then cut that mark on her face, completely ruining her it. This story was all over Shanghai back then.”

After hearing Wan Chun Hua’s story, Ye Qian’s eyes couldn’t help but look toward the boss lady. She was currently busily grilling, the corner of her mouth held a smile. It was a refined and calm smiling face. “Perhaps, she has finally found her values in life, she is living her life in a carefree way.” Ye Qian slowly said. Sometimes, ordinary was also a type of blessing.

Wan Chun Hua stared blankly, silently thinking about Ye Qian’s words and felt that there was some truth to it. Zhao Tie Zhu was a simple and straightforward fellow, and did not express any opinion, only smiling foolishly. Fu Ju Sheng turned his head and indifferently looked at the owner, saying: “She is a good woman.”

Ye Qian distractedly looked on. Even though he couldn’t understand why he would say such words, but in his heart he agreed with it. A woman that was able to live such a bustling life and be capable of living by herself was a good woman. Moreover, Ye Qian sincerely admired this boss lady’s strength.
