Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

"There is a way, I need to wait for Xiaoxi to come around. Once she comes around, she’ll come to me, and it’ll be easy to coordinate her treatment. As for this timeframe, cruelly speaking, it might be one or two months, or maybe one or two years. If we don’t encounter the right opportunity, it could be a lifetime. If you’re looking to give yourself a chance, there’s only one word."

"Die." Yu Minglang interjected, and Qian slapped him away, "Get lost, talk again and I’ll sew your mouth shut!"

"The plan I’m giving you is one word: wait!"

Wait...

Hai Zhao’s heart that had just ignited with enthusiasm was instantly cooled. Wait again, he’s been waiting for so many years, yet it’s still not working!

"Of course, the decision is yours, do you want to wait?"

"Wait! I’ve already waited over a decade, I can handle another twitch."

"Are you peeing? Twitching... haha!" Xiaoqiang cracked a joke again, earning a glare from Qian. He quickly made a zipper motion and stayed silent!

"For the consultation fee, I want unlimited free food cards for two generations, including all your current and future businesses. If you open a hot pot restaurant, we eat hot pot for free; if you open a supermarket, we shop for free; if you open a mall, we just—"

"As if you’ve paid anything now. I agree! But, what do you mean by free for two generations?"

Hai Zhao was about to bow to Qian; at such a time she still has the mind to discuss remuneration? This witch has never settled any meal bills here!

"Free for two generations means not only can we as a couple eat free, but once we have kids, they eat free too. Of course, we’re not unreasonable people, when it comes to my grandchildren’s generation they’ll pay."

"...I’ll thank you on behalf of my grandkids!" Hai Zhao was speechless at Qian’s cunning!

"I’ve agreed to your demands. Can you tell me the concrete plan now?" It’s like negotiating to cede territory and pay compensation for a favor.

"There’s a mall near my house currently recruiting businesses, and I see the policies they’ve offered are quite favorable. If you open a large supermarket there, it’s a guaranteed profit." Then she could grab some groceries and essentials from there.

Hai Zhao was almost ready to kneel; this witch really won’t let go without the rabbit appearing. If he doesn’t agree, she definitely won’t tell the truth!

"I’ll go investigate this afternoon."

Having received a satisfactory answer, Qian finally showed some kindness.

"The time she opens her mind depends on whether you have the ability to let my family get free fruits and vegetables from your supermarket before winter. If you can clarify this matter, I have ways to make her open up sooner."

"Really?! My god, Chen Xiaoqian, you’re a god, that’s wonderful!" Hai Zhao exclaimed joyously.

Only Xiaoqiang touched his chin, watching his little fox-like wife with a smile.

Oh, this little rascal, she had this idea all along, and just wanted to extort a free food and drink card for two generations?

Correct~ That’s exactly the plan!

Qian’s knack lies in her ability to make people thank her even after being scammed.

Hai Zhao, after hearing her promise, was almost ready to bow in gratitude to Qian. He praised Qian like a deity on the phone, and then got to work on preparing the supermarket plan like he’s on steroids.

After wrapping up the matter, Qian continued to enjoy her steamed egg pudding, noticing Yu Minglang looking at her with that expression, she was curious.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Wife, was that taking advantage of a friend? Hai Zhao was my childhood buddy."

Being taken advantage of so badly yet still so excited, two generations of unlimited free food and drink... Yu Minglang thought about the term ’two generations’ and couldn’t help but find it adorable.

She manages to eat and drink for free, and it affects the kids too?

"Are you silly? If he wasn’t your buddy, would I offer it this cheap? Just calculate, how much is my consultation fee now? Eventually, I need to treat Xiaoxi too, which will take a long time. Plus, devising plans to get her to open up, isn’t it draining of resources and energy? Our family of three — oh, maybe four — how much can we eat from him, take from him?"

So in the end, Hai Zhao actually got a deal!

"Hey, wife, are you planning for a second child in the future?" Yu Minglang instantly focused on the ’four’ part and forgot all about his buddy.

"Of course, if the policy on second children opens, with such good genes, so much intelligence from parents, not having a few smart kids, who would it justify?"

"Haha, that’s something to look forward to!" Yu Minglang imagined the picture of having both sons and daughters, though wait, it seems he lost the focus, what was the main point again?

The overly happy couple gave each other a glance, "Continue discussing Hai Zhao’s matter, how do you plan to make Xiaoxi open up?"

"To make her open up, I must untie the knot in her heart. I must make her go to see that person in prison voluntarily, and the subsequent treatment will be much easier. Let her see, the future isn’t as good as imagined, but perhaps not as bad either. Of course, before that, I need to create an opportunity for her and Hai Zhao to get to know each other deeply."

"We’re in each other’s diapers, isn’t that enough understanding?"

Qian gave him a disdainful look, "Your kind of understanding isn’t the same as professional understanding, isn’t it? At their current speed, they’ll probably never get over this hurdle in a lifetime. Just wait, let me finish this side project, and I’ll find time to deal with it, I’ll solve their problem before winter!"

A professional psychologist has a bit of confidence in this.

"Yeah, before winter, we should be enjoying days with free vegetables!" Yu Minglang and Qian reached an agreement, continuing their meal.

However, even the foresighted Qian didn’t predict, some things are just beyond human calculation, even before Qian could set up her plan, fate helped Hai Zhao a great deal, and saved Qian a lot of hassle. But, that is for tomorrow.

After breakfast, the couple headed to the psychology activity group together. Qian took a day off yesterday to attend Yu Mingxi’s concert, so today as soon as she stepped into the office, Apiao coldly mocked her.

"Mrs. Yu Deputy President, you’re finally here, I thought you would be absent again today. You’re quite impressive, setting a precedent in our team, taking leave after just one day at work. Tsk tsk, why not continue taking leave going forward? When our research outcomes are published, I’ll make an exception to credit you. How about you hurry home to serve Mr. Yu instead, he clearly understands serving him means more leave exceptions!"

Having just worked one day then taken leave, with only a few days of internship period, doing it this way, no wonder Apiao was emotional, especially since he got mocked by a colleague yesterday and was feeling low, a nameless anger brewing with nowhere to vent, Qian as a privileged figure became the target for him to lash out.

Qian’s response to Apiao’s provocation was simple too. She silently gazed at Apiao for a few seconds, then calmly spoke.
