How come I was born a deity?

Chapter 21: Three Distinguished Guests

"How is it, Miss Shen?" Boss Qin regained his previous smile. "To be honest, I've already made a lot of concessions. You can't possibly disappoint me any further, can you?"

"Everyone has put in a lot of effort to gain a foothold in Qingcheng. It's unreasonable and unfair that you've caused me such a huge loss for no reason."

Shen Nianxu said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Now all she can do is deny it to the death. Although this tactic won't be very effective on someone else's turf, as long as the He family is there as an outsider watching, the Qin family firm probably won't do anything too outrageous.

Thinking of this, Shen Nianxu was actually somewhat grateful that He Wenchong, that idiot, had appeared here; otherwise, things would have been even more difficult to handle today.

"Sigh..." Boss Qin shook his head helplessly, "Miss Shen, I've always thought you were a smart person, but today you've really disappointed me."

He waved his hand, and in an instant, a group of passersby emerged from the shadows of the building, surrounding Chen Qi and his two companions.

Hu Yao had lived in Shangqing Palace since childhood and had never seen such a scene before. She clung tightly to Chen Qi, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Boss Qin," Chen Qi said, "is it really necessary to let these people get so close to us? Didn't you see they're scaring the children?"

Seeing that it was Chen Qi who was speaking, Boss Qin's expression softened slightly. He then made a gesture, and the surrounding crowd immediately distanced themselves from Hu Yao.

Shen Nianxu noticed this and said to Boss Qin, "You don't dare to make a move, right?"

"After all, I do have a whitelist of people I can't touch," Boss Qin said, shrugging. "But clearly, you're not on that whitelist."

Chen Fuzhou's reputation is indeed great. Even though he is not in Qingcheng, just having these three words is enough to intimidate many situations.

Qin Laoban dared to threaten Chen Qi, but Chen Fuzhou wouldn't interfere. After all, he had been through the same thing back then. As a cultivator, being threatened by different groups of people was commonplace.

But if Boss Qin dares to make a move today, who can say for sure whether Chen Fuzhou will retaliate?

When Chen Fuzhou left Qingcheng, he was already capable of attracting heavenly tribulations. Who knew what level of cultivator he would be now?

"It doesn't matter," Shen Nianxu said, having nothing to lose. "Let them go first. We can talk about it privately, okay?"

Boss Qin thought for a moment.

"Sorry, I refuse. Not taking action doesn't mean we can't take other measures," Boss Qin said with a smile, but his words were terrifying. "Qin's Firm is not a place where you can come and go as you please."

Beside him, He Wenchong secretly took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to He Yan.

"Dad! Something's happened here!"

He Yan quickly replied, "What's wrong? What happened?"

He Wenchong typed as fast as he could, explaining the ins and outs of what was happening.

But this time, all I got in return was He Yan's silence.

After about several tens of seconds, He Yan finally answered.

"You can't control this matter, and neither can I. The boss of Qin's firm isn't the scariest person; the scariest person is the one who's actually in charge."

"Moreover, this is also an opportunity. If the bookstore is removed from Qingcheng, it will only benefit us in the year-end competition for the leadership position. I advise you to give up and leave as soon as possible."

Even my dad says so!

He Wenchong raised his head and looked at Shen Nianxu, who was confronting Boss Qin, through the crowd of people.

It seems the bookstore is really in for a lot of trouble this time.

"Should I just use the Flying Clamping Technique...?" Chen Qi muttered to himself, glancing at his current star chart.

Nearly a hundred stars were cast into the star map. Although only a dozen or so people were drawn, with this amount of stars, it wouldn't be a problem to take three people out using the Flying Clamping Technique.

The only problem is that Chen Qi has not yet tried the effects of the flying clamp technique, and no one has learned it before, not even having a reference. If there is a problem with "manned flight", they will be the ones who suffer.

Just as Chen Qi was hesitating, a young girl wearing a cheongsam and with her hair in a bun suddenly ran out from the side, carrying a stack of documents, and came to Boss Qin's side, calling out "Boss Qin" in a clear voice.

Boss Qin's expression immediately turned serious. He slightly turned his waist and asked, "What are you doing?"

The little girl tiptoed and whispered something in Boss Qin's ear.

Upon hearing this, Boss Qin, who was already wearing sunglasses, immediately turned pale. "Are you sure that's exactly what she said?"

"Yes," the little girl nodded, "that's exactly what they said."

Boss Qin rubbed his forehead, sighed, and waved his hand, "Everyone, disperse."

Upon hearing this, the crowd that had surrounded Chen Qi and his two companions immediately dispersed and returned to their respective posts.

He Wenchong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what had happened. "Wha...what's going on?"

Shen Nianxu was also somewhat confused, her gaze falling on Boss Qin. "Boss Qin, what does this mean?"

"Ahem," Boss Qin cleared his throat, turned his back, and pointed to the young girl beside him, saying, "Let her speak."

All eyes turned to the little girl in the cheongsam and bun.

"Distinguished guests, I'm so sorry to have startled you," the young girl said politely, bowing slightly. "Please come upstairs with me; someone wishes to see you."

How about meeting "everyone"?

Shen Nianxu felt something was off when she heard those five words.

"Three distinguished guests?" He Wenchong paused for a moment, then pointed to himself. "And what about me?"

The little girl tilted her head. "Ah... I'm sorry, the information I received didn't mention you..."

He Wenchong: "..."

The young girl popped out from behind the counter, and just as she was about to lead the three upstairs, she glanced at Boss Qin, who was leaning against the counter, and said, "Boss Qin, you're coming too!"

Boss Qin shuddered and turned his head. Even though he was wearing sunglasses, Chen Qi could sense the panic in his eyes. "Are you sure I'm still here?"

"Yes!" The little girl nodded seriously. "Yes, please hurry up, I'm not going to finish my homework."

Boss Qin ran his fingers through his slicked-back hair, sighed, and called out, "Xiao Hua, come and greet the guests. I have something to take care of."

The woman in the cheongsam who had led Chen Qi and the other two to the fourth floor appeared out of nowhere. "Okay, Boss Qin."

He Wenchong: "..."

No, aren't you being too perfunctory with me?

After all, I'm the one with the best chance in this year's election for the head of the organization!

Aren't you going to try and curry favor with me now?!

-

Five people entered the elevator, which was a little crowded.

Hu Yao was still holding onto Chen Qi, but her gaze was fixed on the young girl in the cheongsam in front of her, her nostrils twitching as if she were smelling her scent.

"It smells so good..."

Seeing this, Chen Qi asked the little girl, "What brand of shampoo do you use?"

The little girl replied cheerfully, "I use Boss Qin's shampoo!"

Chen Qi: "..."

Shen Nianxu: "Wow..."

Boss Qin slapped the girl on the head. "Less talk, more action."

Little girl: "Oh..."
