Watching Bianyi stride along as if he were dancing and confidently leaving with the lawyer, Xiu Ju said in surprise, "Your car doesn't seem very expensive either. Does Bianyi really need to be this excited?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "What do you think he rented the car for? Is crying poor really just about the money? He wants me to know that he is working hard for me and that I should support him. Therefore, nothing would please him more than giving him my car."

"Because this means that I recognize his value and affirm his performance, and with the recent company naming issue, he must be feeling absolutely fantastic now."

Xiu Ju smiled, "I suddenly feel like he might not be so detestable."

Shen Qiang smiled and pulled Xiu Ju closer into his arms, his hand around her slender waist, "That's because a high and lofty saint can't bring us any benefits, while even if he is a scoundrel, a bad person, as long as he sincerely helps us, he is still adorable."

Xiu Ju smiled.

Just then, the sole receptionist at the health product company knocked on the reception room door and then said somewhat nervously, "Boss, do we need to change our working hours? It's already lunchtime."

Shen Qiang smiled and said, "Everything as usual, go have your lunch."

"Okay, thank you, boss." The company's only receptionist left.

After she had left, Shen Qiang looked at Xiu Ju with a smile and said, "So where shall we go next?"

"Of course, let's go for lunch." Xiu Ju smiled.

Shen Qiang shook his head, "No, I've decided we should rent a room and celebrate."

Feeling Shen Qiang's warmth, Xiu Ju's face immediately blushed, and she playfully rolled her eyes, "Rascal!" Then she gracefully stood up and said, "Let's hurry, but this is not to become a habit."

Shen Qiang laughed.

Almost at the moment Shen Qiang was sitting in Xiu Ju's car, heading to the hotel to dine and prepare a room,

Shanghai.

Dragon Group headquarters.

Dressed in a smart military outfit, tall and graceful, with a stunningly beautiful face, Qian Shanxue had just exited the elevator when she stopped and turned to look at the other end of the hallway at a similarly dressed, tall, and strapping man holding his military cap.

He had a handsome face, fair skin, and looked as pretty as a young star in the entertainment industry, but there was also an indescribable air of nobility about him.

Seeing Qian Shanxue looking at him, he smiled, casually got up, and walked elegantly towards Qian Shanxue, saying, "Long time no see."

Qian Shanxue with slightly furrowed brows, "Were you waiting for me?"

The young officer smiled lightly, "Yes, indeed I was waiting for you."

Qian Shanxue said, "Unfortunately, I am here on important business this time and cannot afford another fight with you."

The young officer laughed, "I know, you have been summoned by our Dragon Group's War God. But you should know, if I were serious, you wouldn't stand a chance against me."

Qian Shanxue was silent for a moment, then said, "Not necessarily."

The young officer smiled and replied, "What you think is your business. I am not here to fight you again or to argue about who is stronger. I am just interested in your subordinate."

"Ali?"

"Xun Xiang, Ye Xiaolei?"

Qian Shanxue nonchalantly raised an eyebrow, "You could just go see them with flowers in hand, I think they might like you."

The young military officer smiled, "The person I want to understand isn't them, but Shen Qiang."

Qian Shanxue smiled, "You're a colonel; if you want to know about him, you could investigate on your own."

The expression of the young military officer cooled, and he said calmly, "I know that Shen Qiang is a bastard, and I also know that Xiu Ju from the Dark Department is protecting him. I don't want to see those deceiving briefs, I want to know his specific details."

"Such as which aspects?" Qian Shanxue raised an eyebrow.

The young military officer said, "What Cultivation Technique he has practiced, who else is around him besides Xiu Ju, and who approved the new protection plan for rookies? Who above favors him?"

Qian Shanxue said, "What does that have to do with you?"

"I've saved you once, you owe me a favor, and now I'm short of a subordinate," the young military officer said. "So I hope that after Shen Qiang's rookie protection period is over, he can be transferred to my side."

Qian Shanxue seriously said, "You can have Xun Xiang, but don't even think about Shen Qiang."

The young military officer smiled and said, "Because he possesses some kind of ability that can change the outcome of a battle?"

Qian Shanxue said, "You are not my superior, I have no obligation to tell you anything, and unless you want to spar with me over battle skills, I would ask you to step aside."

After a moment of silence, the young military officer said, "If you hand over Shen Qiang to me, I can give you Ah Hu, and I promise you, we'll be even. You won't owe me anything, and I can support you unconditionally when you need it."

Qian Shanxue raised an eyebrow, "I'd rather keep in mind that favor I owe you."

Having said that, Qian Shanxue stepped away and left.

Watching her spirited back, the young military officer's face grew ugly.

Coldly putting on his military cap, he stepped into the elevator, his eyes coldly watching Qian Shanxue's retreating figure, "Qian Shanxue, even if you refuse, it's useless. The higher-ups will definitely approve the application to transfer him to my side after the end of the rookie protection plan."

Qian Shanxue turned her head slightly, smiled faintly, "Don't dream, I won't agree."

"We'll see about that." The handsome young military officer's face was very cold as he pressed the elevator button, directly selecting the first floor. On the back of his stretched out hand, a fierce scorpion tattoo appeared prominently.

Completely ignoring his words, the spirited Qian Shanxue walked along the corridor to its end and gently knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Upon hearing the voice, Qian Shanxue took a deep breath, subconsciously straightened her uniform, confirmed there were no issues, then pushed the door open and stepped into the room, her eyes slightly feverish with admiration as she said, "Hello, Mr. Qiao, I'm Qian Shanxue."

The middle-aged man sitting by the window on a low couch, reading a book and drinking tea, wore an ordinary military uniform and ordinary soldier training shoes with rubber soles, with no military insignia, looking completely ordinary. Yet, the moment Qian Shanxue saw him, her eyes ignited with fervor.

Putting down his book, the middle-aged man smiled at Qian Shanxue slightly and said, "Have a seat, don't be formal. We've met before, and meeting again means we are somewhat acquainted. I've called you to Shanghai this time primarily to discuss Shen Qiang's situation with you."

Upon hearing this, Qian Shanxue exclaimed, "Has he made a big mistake?"

The man with no military insignia smiled, remained silent for a long while, and then said, "I'm just feeling a bit old and want to travel around, so perhaps it's time to take a disciple or groom a successor."

Upon hearing this, Qian Shanxue was immediately stunned.

"Have you taken a liking to Shen Qiang?"

The man with no military insignia smiled and said off-topic, "Let's talk about the Shen Qiang you see."
