The Master’s Mask Unveiled Again
Chapter 652 - Chapter 652 Chapter 652 My Treasure Girl

Chapter 652: Chapter 652: My Treasure Girl Chapter 652: Chapter 652: My Treasure Girl Sheng Zijin’s expression was extraordinarily rich at the moment.

The weather in Jinjing was still cold in February, yet a layer upon layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.

She no longer had the courage to make eye contact with Xiao Qimo or Lu Mian.

But Sheng Zijin was too flustered to calm herself when she received an urgent call from her family.

Sheng Zixin, who was nearest to her, heard the call, albeit only vaguely.

“Sis, our family’s main business client is terminating the contract?”

As Sheng Zijin hung up the phone, she nodded blankly, “They said the Sheng Family has offended someone, and they dare not cooperate with us anymoreaEUR|”

After she spoke, it was only with great effort that she dared to glance at Xiao Qimo.

Undoubtedly, Qimo was the one orchestrating this.

To her, he was once an insignificant head of discipline, who, with just a flick of his fingers, had now withdrawn a major order upon which the Sheng Family business relied for its survival.

In Wucheng, she had never beaten them.

In Jinjing, she didn’t even have the qualifications to compete.

No wonder Lu Mian was so confident in opposing the Sheng Family; it turned out Lu Mian had long since gained the support of the Xiao Family’s Qimo…

This time, it was Sheng Zixin who was frustrated enough to stomp her feet and angrily cursed, “Why on earth did you come here today?!

Looking for trouble for no reason!”

After dropping that remark, Sheng Zixin bid a hasty farewell to Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo and hurried off.

Sheng Zijin was paying the price for her arrogance and contempt toward others, and no amount of regret could undo the fact that she had offended the Xiao Family.

Initially, Sufeng’s press conference had nothing to do with the Sheng Family; had Sheng Zijin not appeared, Lu Mian would have almost forgotten about her.

But when some people insist on courting disaster, Xiao Qimo could only lift a finger to accommodate their wishes.

Sheng Zijin left with heavy steps and immense regret.

Xiu Qian looked at her coldly and shook his head.

He had heard that the once first-tier Shen Family, after offending Lu Mian, ended up bankrupt and in decline.

The second-tier Sheng Family would probably not fare much better.

That is Xiao Qimo, his methods as strong and ruthless as his heart.

If he could be so merciless with his own relatives, how much pity could he have for others?

And he couldn’t help but wonder if Lu Mian, being with him, would end well.

However, Lu Mian was prideful and had a wicked disposition; should she accidentally provoke Xiao Qimo, would she end up as miserable as the Shen Family, the Sheng Family, or even their own Xiu Family?

At that thought, Xiu Qian gazed deeply at Lu Mian, his eyes brimming with an emotion that couldn’t dissipate.

The current Lu Mian was not only his rival in business, but also San Qianyu, the idol he adored.

He couldn’t bear it.

Although Xiao Qimo was busy texting on his phone, his peripheral vision never left Lu Mian.

Sensing that Xiu Qian’s gaze lingered on his girlfriend for more than 0.5 seconds, he subtly shifted his body to block Xiu Qian’s line of sight.

Xiu Qian snapped back to reality.

Xiao Qimo put away his phone at a leisurely pace, “What, don’t you recognize your aunt?”

Aunt.

The already somber look on Xiu Qian’s face grew even darker.

There was certainly resentment, but it was just that, resentment.

As he averted his gaze, he explained, “I am a fan of Qianyu.”

A hint of sharpness flickered in Xiao Qimo’s eyes.

Lu Mian’s expression remained cool and detached.

Xiu Qian hesitated for a moment before asking Lu Mian, “The game backend you logged into before, it was actually your own…”

“Yes.”

“You really are a treasure of a girl, always full of surprises.”

Xiao Qimo’s handsome brows were cold, his deep features chillingly stern, as he deliberately released an intimidating pressure, as if to remind Xiu Qian to mind his words.

Xiu Qian had no choice but to change the subject, seeing that Lu Mian was still unwilling to deal with him, and began to talk about business.

“Fei Nie has made a mistake this time, having done quite a few backhanded moves privately.

The company definitely can’t keep her.

Since the position of chief planner is vacant, would you two be willing to stay?”

“No need,” Lu Mian decisively refused.

“I have other things to take care of.”

Xiu Qian, puzzled, said, “The physics competition has ended, and your guaranteed admission is almost certain.

It seems you don’t have anything else to be busy with, right?”

“Tsk, ignorant!” Xiao Qimo sneered coldly.

“My treasure of a girl, how could you possibly fathom her?”

Xiu Qian: …

Lu Mian: …

Lu Mian quickly reached out to scrape Xiao Qimo’s palm, as if to soothe him.

Xiao Qimo looked away, feeling bitter.

Lu Mian changed the subject, “I won’t be going back to Sufeng.

As for the next chief planner, I recommend Qiu Shu.

He is responsible and quite capable, up to the task.

If he encounters any issues, he can also contact me at any time.”

Lu Mian did not impulsively expel Fei Nie.

In fact, keeping someone like Fei Nie in the company would sooner or later tear it apart.

Even if that person was highly capable, they weren’t suitable to stay.

Qiu Shu was quite capable, wholeheartedly devoted to the company, and not skilled in the art of oppression, making him a candidate worth promoting.

This result was almost what Xiu Qian had expected.

He nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll pass the message to my mom.

The supervisor Qiu has indeed been working hard lately, he’s almost gone bald trying to invite the two of you, not knowing you’re a couple…”

Lu Mian couldn’t help but smile.

Yes, who would have thought?

Xiao Qimo, beside her, extracted the keywords from Xiu Qian’s babble.

A couple.

He liked this title very much, it spoke to his heart.

Xiao Qimo’s demeanor wasn’t as cold and fierce as before, instead, he seemed as amiable as a spring breeze as he patted Xiu Qian’s shoulder with an air of elderliness.

“You also do your best.”

Xiu Qian was taken aback.

What the heck, why was Xiao Qimo’s expression changing as fast as flipping a book?

Wasn’t he still looking furious just now?

“Uncle, you…

you’re not speaking sarcastically, are you?

You aren’t going to blame our family again this time, are you?”

The word “again” made Lu Mian glance at Xiao Qimo, pondering for a moment, then silently took out her phone.

“What do you think?” Xiao Qimo said indifferently.

Xiu Qian couldn’t quite grasp his temperament, but nodded earnestly, “Anyway, whatever the case, you and your spouse are always welcome to inspect the company!”

A couple.

How nice.

Xiao Qimo, still not over it, said, “The Xiao Family and the Xiu Family were originally connected by blood.

Let bygones be bygones.

.co

With you at the future of Sufeng, I’m at ease.”

Listen to this, it doesn’t sound like something the decisive Xiao Qimo would say.

Xiu Qian felt uneasy yet somewhat moved.

Ever since the Xiu Family had been stripped of their surname and had split from the Xiao Family, Xiao Qimo had never spoken to him like this.

These words provided great solace to his depressed and gloomy moods over many years.

All he was waiting for was a word of reconciliation.

“Thank you, uncle,” Xiu Qian sincerely said.

“Then you go ahead with your busy schedule; I’ll head back to check on the scene.”

After sending off Xiu Qian, Xiao Qimo couldn’t wait to pull Lu Mian back into the car.

Encircling the girl in the car seat, he continued their earlier conversation.

“Mianmian, about getting the marriage certificateaEUR|”
