When Guo Yongjie saw his brother-in-law lying on the ground after being beaten up, he was so angry that his veins bulged. “Who did it? How dare you behave atrociously in my territory?!” Guo Yongjie instructed the bodyguards behind him to help the bespectacled man up from the ground. The bespectacled man hid behind Guo Yongjie and pointed at Jian Xing’er. “It’s her!” The bespectacled man gritted his teeth and said, “Brother-in-law, you can’t let her off. She’s too arrogant!” Guo Yongjie shot Jian Xing’er a cold look. “You’re the one who attacked him? You injured my brother-in-law?” Jian Xing’er raised her eyebrows slightly and said, “So what? 1 educated your brother-in-law for you!” “You’re really too big for your britches. How dare you hit my people in my territory? Go out and ask around if anyone on this street dares to touch my people!” Guo Yongjie said with a murderous look.
“I know you, Guo Erlang—the famous local tyrant on this street.” Jian Xing’er smiled, but there was no trace of mirth in her eyes. “Since you’re here, 1 have something important to talk to you about…” “Since you know who 1 am, how dare you be so arrogant? You’re here to ask for a beating, right? Tell me, who sent you?” Guo Yongjie glared at Jian Xing’er. Jian Xing’er smiled as she said, “No one sent me. 1 came on my own accord. Am 1 not allowed to come?” Guo Yongjie instructed a few strong bodyguards, “F*ck! Beat her to death! This b*tch still dares to show off in front of me after hitting my people. 1’11 let her know how powerful 1 am today!” “Yes!” With that, a few bodyguards rushed towards Jian Xing’er.
At this moment, another middle-aged man in lavish clothes suddenly walked out of the crowd. When the middle-aged man saw Jian Xing’er’s face clearly, his expression changed and he hurriedly stopped her. “You bunch of blind people, no one is allowed to do anything!” When the bodyguards heard this, they looked at Guo Yongjie. They were waiting for Guo Yongjie’s instructions. The middle-aged man had a noble status and he was the president of Sea City’s Chamber of Commerce, Sha Li. Sha Li had met Jian Xing’er once before, so he knew that Jian Xing’er was the chairman of Tianmei Corporation and knew about the incidents that had happened to Tianmei recently. In terms of power, no one present was on par with Jian Xing’er. The reason Sha Li stopped him was that he had been friends with Guo Yongjie for many years and wanted to help him. “President Sha… Do you know this woman?” Guo Yongjie was a little puzzled. Sha Li leaned close to Guo Yongjie’s ear and whispered, “She’s…”
“I’m just an ordinary person…” Jian Xing’er interrupted Sha Li and stared at Sha Li with a dark gaze. Jian Xing’er didn’t want to cause too much of a stir and only wanted to get rid of Guo Yongjie as soon as possible. Sha Li was a smart person, so he immediately understood Jian Xing’er’s intentions. He turned to face everyone and announced, “She’s my friend. None of you are allowed to touch her.” When Guo Yongjie heard this, he was dumbfounded. However, he quickly reacted and got someone to help the bespectacled man to the hospital. “Madam, I’m really sorry that 1 didn’t discipline him well. My brother-in-law used my name to flaunt his power everywhere. Please don’t lower yourself to his level. He has already been punished, so please let bygones be bygones.” Guo Yongjie nodded and bowed to Jian Xing’er. Sha Li had immense authority in the Sea City Chamber of Commerce. Although he wasn’t as powerful as Bai Hao was in the Demon Province Chamber of Commerce, in Sea City, Sha Li had a lot of say. Just now, Sha Li said in front of everyone that Jane Xing’er was his friend, so Guo Yongjie could only hold back his anger, since he didn’t dare to touch Sha Li’s people. These years, he was able to earn so much money all thanks to Sha Li.
“What? You’re not going to let me see how powerful you are?” Jian Xing’er sneered. “1 shouldn’t have offended you!” Guo Yongjie smiled obsequiously. “You’re friends with President Sha, so you’re my friend. What happened just now is in the past. Let’s forget about it and pretend that it never happened.” Guo Yongjie was unhappy, but he could only swallow his anger. “Yes, yes, yes. This is all a misunderstanding. Let’s forget about this matter. The more friends you have, the more options you have in life,” President Sha said with a smile. Guo Yongjie put away his previous arrogant attitude. The stall owner was dumbfounded, since he didn’t expect Jian Xing’er to be good friends with the Chamber of Commerce’s president. “Boss, you should go preside over the Treasure Appraisal Conference now,” Guo Yongjie’s secretary reminded him.. “Alright, let’s begin!”
