After Divorce, My Ex-Wife Became My Creditor

Yan Qingqing sat beside Han Qian, frowning with a bit of disdain as she looked at Guan the Goon. Guan Junbiao ignored her, instead giving Han Qian a bitter smile.

“Mr. Han, my master’s intentions, you probably-no! You’ve accurately guessed them. Now you can state your demands.”

“Aren’t you going to ask if I can fulfill them?”

“General Manager Yan is already sitting here.”

“So, I’m the one negotiating with you, I’m the one recommending you, but the person in charge is General Manager Yan. Mr. Guan, your master seems a bit insincere. We’re both just small fry under the Dragon King; you’re the shrimp soldier, I’m the crab general.”

“Understood, Mr. Han, please await good news. Also, just for the sake of our friendship, I’ll clean up Lin Zongheng’s little tricks thoroughly. I’m off! No need to see me out, I’ve settled the bill. General Manager Yan, feel free to order as you like, you don’t lack money. Consider it my apology to you.”

As soon as Guan the Goon left, Yan Qingqing turned and punched Han Qian on the shoulder, angrily saying, “Do you know how dangerous that guy is? Meeting him alone, aren’t you just asking for trouble? He even pulled a knife! Did he threaten you? If he did, just stop breathing.”

Han Qian waved off Yan Qingqing’s hand, laughing and scolding, “Then I’d suffocate. The injury on my face was from Guan the Goon, and the injury on his face was from me. Do you think he can threaten me? This morning, when you told me about the construction company, and then Guan the Goon came to find me with Sun Ya, I figured out a bit of the situation. Guan the Goon almost made a mistake by acting on his own, but it also presented an opportunity for me. You know, I really need money. Thirty-five thousand isn’t too little, and eighty thousand isn’t too much.”

“You’re hopeless, really doing whatever it takes for money. What did you mean by shrimp soldier and crab general just now? Are you suggesting I meet Tu Xiao?”

Yan Qingqing showed clear resistance on her face. Han Qian smiled as he tidied her clothes and softly laughed, “You’re overestimating him by meeting him. I’ve never met Tu Xiao, but from his background and sending Guan Junbiao to test the waters today, it’s clear he’s very proud. Let him wait for a while, boldly release news and negotiate with other construction companies.”

Yan Qingqing slapped Han Qian’s hand away, angrily saying, “Don’t take advantage of me. Han Qian, I must have been out of my mind to let you into Rongyao Group. Why do you always think about collaborating with Tu Xiao? With your brains, you could easily earn tens of thousands just by doing something else. Why engage with such a dangerous person?”

Han Qian, who had been slapped, pursed his lips and replied indifferently, “There are many reasons to engage with them. Lin Zongheng tried to buy my leg, and the person he found was Guan the Goon. That’s one. Two, if you collaborate with Tu Xiao, you’ll have an ally. You just need to look at the results. If something happens, Tu Xiao will take responsibility. Those who want to secretly mess with you might not even dare to interfere with the construction site. By choosing Tu Xiao, you’re effectively cutting off his collaboration with Gao Lvxing in advance. Lastly, it’s for my money.”

“Get lost, get lost, you’re just bluffing me for your money. Anyway, I’m not going to negotiate with Tu Xiao!”

“I’ll go! You don’t have to show up, I’ll negotiate. If anyone from the board of directors objects, I’ll tell Guan the Goon their name. In the adult world, nothing is that straightforward.”

Yan Qingqing glared at Han Qian, then stood up, turned around, and grabbed her hair with both hands. Her high heels stomped the ground repeatedly, muttering under her breath, seemingly very frustrated and conflicted. Han Qian smiled, stood up, adjusted his suit, and followed Yan Qingqing out of the café.

On the way, Yan Qingqing punched and kicked Han Qian, not with much force, more to vent her inner conflict and resentment. How did she end up being led by the nose by Han Qian? Mainly, what he said was really tempting.

Gao Lvxing stood by the window, watching the two people crossing the street ‘talking love,’ frowning deeply. Sun Ya, wearing a short skirt, approached, gently wrapping her arms around Gao Lvxing’s waist, sweetly saying, “What’s wrong? Is that Han Qian giving you a headache?”

Gao Lvxing pulled Sun Ya in front of him, his hands roaming, his chin resting on her shoulder, pointing at the two downstairs with a lewd smile, “The appearance of this Han Qian disrupted my plans. I’m not sure if he stumbled upon it by accident or if he has real skills. Either way, he won’t work for me. I’ll need to trouble you again. Don’t focus on Li Dongsheng, get rid of Han Qian first.”

Sun Ya stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her face flushed, nodding slightly. Gao Lvxing continued, “Actually, you shouldn’t have scolded Guan the Goon. Building a good relationship with him can be useful for us. You could try to seduce him, probe into why he sought Han Qian.”

Sun Ya suddenly turned, looking at Gao Lvxing with some reluctance, coquettishly saying, “Would you really let me?”

Gao Lvxing gave a lewd laugh, “I’ll get you a new car. Didn’t you fancy Li Jinhe’s Panamera?”

“You’re so good!”

Sun Ya nestled in Gao Lvxing’s arms, but in her mind, she was already picturing Guan the Goon. She valued material things, and it didn’t matter who the man was, as long as there was money and benefits. Of course, if Guan the Goon were replaced by Han Qian, she might settle for just a handbag.

Han Qian and Yan Qingqing walked side by side into the group entrance. Yan Qingqing headed for the executive elevator, while Han Qian went in the opposite direction to the employee elevator. While waiting for the elevator, the more Yan Qingqing thought, the more agitated she became. She took off her high heels and threw them at Han Qian, but the distance was too far. Han Qian looked at the high heels that landed far away, chuckled, turned, and strode into the elevator. Yan Qingqing pointed at the elevator, cursing, “Bastard, I curse you to be impotent for life. You want to collaborate, you go talk to him!”

As Yan Qingqing limped to pick up her shoes, the employee elevator door opened. Han Qian leaned against the elevator door, smiling, softly saying, “Alright, as General Manager Yan instructed, I’ll complete it even if it kills me. Want me to pick up your shoes?”

“Get lost, you’re not a prince, don’t put shoes on me.”

“True, after all, you’re not a princess either.”

“Is Wen Nuan?”

“Can you not bring her up out of nowhere? What does she have to do with this?”

Fortunately, there were few people in the lobby at this time, only a few security guards and front desk greeters. No one thought they were arguing; most assumed they were flirting.

In the end, Han Qian didn’t pick up Yan Qingqing’s shoes, and Yan Qingqing didn’t put them on. She walked barefoot into the elevator and returned to her office on the fourteenth floor.

When Han Qian returned to the office, there were several band-aids on his desk. Curious, he asked, “Su Liang, did you buy these?”

Su Liang pouted, shook his head, and pointed at Liu Jiulong. Han Qian turned to meet Liu Jiulong’s eyes, filled with deep jealousy, and immediately understood. It was Yang-Jie who left them. Han Qian grinned, “That’s nice! Yang-Jie is so thoughtful. I’ll introduce a date for her tomorrow.”

Liu Jiulong stood up angrily. At that moment, Han Qian’s head was suddenly smacked from behind. Yang Lan stood behind him, and just then, Wu Siguan received a call and left the General Affairs Department.
