Chapter 279 Scholar
Qin Huiyin looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, she saw a handkerchief floating above.
She was a little embarrassed and said awkwardly: "I misunderstood, please continue."
"Wait a moment..." The scholar stopped her and bowed respectfully. "Thank you for your righteous act. If I were truly suicidal, you would have saved my life."
"I hope you don't blame me for meddling in your business." Qin Huiyin smiled. "Since you're fine, I'll leave."
The scholar looked at Qin Huiyin's figure, and his originally dim eyes became bright again.
"What's the big deal? There are still many good people in this world. As long as we get through these dark days, there will be a bright future ahead."
Qin Huiyin had just returned to Song Ruize's temporary residence, also known as the Song Residence, when she saw Xue Weifeng and Tang Yichen walking to the door.
"Sister Huiyin, why are you outside alone?" Xue Weifeng asked.
"Brother Ruize had something to do, so he asked me to rest at the house. I thought it would be boring to be alone, and I had never been to the provincial capital, so I went out for a walk and ate some local delicacies."
Qin Huiyin and Xue Weifeng walked side by side, lowering their heads and talking about the news they had just heard.
"Jiang Zhongli and Li Leyi are quite powerful. You should pay special attention to these two people."
"You're not going out on purpose to gather information about the enemy for your brother, are you?" Xue Weifeng was amused by her and shouted to Tang Yichen, "Brother Jinzhi, are you looking for your sister or the nanny?"
Tang Yichen raised his leg and kicked forward.
Xue Weifeng dodged, twisted his waist, and said proudly: "I can't kick you, I can't kick you."
Qin Huiyin rolled her eyes: "Childish."
Tang Yichen said calmly, "Come to my room later to read the scroll."
Xue Weifeng lamented, "When will days like this end?"
It was still early and Qin Huiyin couldn't sleep, so she took out the notebook she carried with her and read it for a while, but she fell asleep while reading.
When Song Ruize came back, he saw her lying there and carried her to the bed.
He covered her with the quilt and looked at her delicate little face sleeping so sweetly, and all his tiredness disappeared.
"Hmm..." Qin Huiyin rubbed the quilt, opened her eyes and looked at Song Ruize, and said, "You're back."
Song Ruize said calmly, "Why did you fall asleep on the table? The weather is still very cold, aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"
"I didn't notice." Qin Huiyin yawned, "You should go back to sleep!"
"I'm next door, call me if you need anything."
"Ah."
The next day, Qin Huiyin got up and saw Song Ruize practicing boxing in the yard. She lay in front of the window and watched curiously.
Suddenly, a nimble figure rushed in and started fighting with Song Ruize.
The two exchanged dozens of blows before the man stopped and looked at Song Ruize in surprise: "You've made great progress! Last time we fought, you only had brute force and no skills."
Song Ruize took off his coat and pinched his fingers: "Come again."
Xue Weifeng grinned: "I'll teach you."
The two fought for a while.
Tang Yichen walked out with a book in his hand, and when he saw the two of them, his expression was calm.
Chen Yong and Jiang Qibin arrived one after another and saw the two men fighting. They looked left and right, and changed positions with the two men.
"Sister Huiyin, what's going on?"
"Let's spar." Qin Huiyin said, and then shouted to Song Ruize, "Come on, brother, beat him, beat him."
Xue Weifeng yelled, "Sister Huiyin, you can't be so partial."
"He's my brother, how can I choose you over him?" Qin Huiyin snorted coldly, "If you dare to touch him, I'll cut off your food supply and make sure you never eat the food I cook again."
Xue Weifeng dodged Song Ruize's moves while shouting, "Jinzhi, you don't care about your sister. She only has Song Ruize in her heart. There is almost no place for you."
"Don't sow discord." Qin Huiyin said.
Tang Yichen said calmly: "It really is time to deal with him."
"Alright, no more fighting, no more fighting." Xue Weifeng surrendered. "I can't even fight back. Isn't this just asking me to be your punching bag? Forget it, it's boring. But you're improving so fast, kid. Did you become a disciple?"
Song Ruize said calmly: "I have an escort agency here, and I have hired some good escorts. I occasionally practice with them."
"If you had practiced martial arts since childhood, how terrifying it would be!" Xue Weifeng sighed.
"If my brother starts learning from now on, he will be able to defeat you completely." Qin Huiyin shouted.
"Yes, yes, your brother is the best in the world." Xue Weifeng said sarcastically and sourly. "You usually call me brother Weifeng so sweetly, but only at the critical moment do you realize there is always a difference between closeness and distance."
"What are your plans for today?" Qin Huiyin asked.
"Let's go to the poetry gathering later and meet the other candidates from the same period and get to know each other." Tang Yichen said, "Let's see in the afternoon. It's hard to decide now."
"Then I won't take care of your meals today. You can take care of it outside! I'm going to the workshop to check the accounts. Brother, what about you?" Qin Huiyin looked at Song Ruize.
"I'll go check the accounts with you in the morning. I have some things to do in the afternoon. I'll be back for dinner in the evening."
"I'll cook that night."
"No need. Let's go out to eat." Song Ruize said calmly, "You should take a good rest these few days."
The few servants at the Song residence were temporary servants assigned to clean and run errands. There was no cook, so the kitchen was dark. If they didn't cook for themselves, they would have to eat out for three meals a day. No matter how good Qin Huiyin's cooking skills were, Song Ruize didn't want her to come to the provincial capital just to cook for everyone. Forget about today; he'd arrange for a few cooks to come tomorrow.
Song Ruize took Qin Huiyin to a nice breakfast shop to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks.
I checked the accounts in the workshop this morning. I discovered something was wrong yesterday, so I asked the manager to prepare everything in advance. I'm going to check the accounts again today, and they're much clearer.
Even if Qin Huiyin didn't say it explicitly, Song Ruize understood it.
He hadn't been to the provincial capital for a long time, and these people had even forgotten his temper and dared to do something to him.
Qin Huiyin calmly fired several people, including an accountant, three workshop employees, and a small manager.
The general manager was wiping his cold sweat beside him.
This young boss had never met those people, but he was able to find out which ones were wrong just by looking at the accounts. This was amazing.
He secretly glanced at Song Ruize and secretly broke into a cold sweat for those people.
They're finished.
The young boss quickly identified the problem and simply fired them, but the big boss wasn't so ruthless. Their snack shop had grown so big because of his ruthless tactics. In a short period of time, no one in the provincial capital's business community dared to cross him. He had previously warned his employees to keep their paws in check, but he hadn't expected some to show any fearlessness.
"Yinyin, I'm going out to get some fresh air." Song Ruize said.
"Brother, just focus on your own business and don't keep me company." Qin Huiyin said, "There are so many accounts, I can spend the whole morning checking them. It would be so boring if you kept me company."
"Okay, I'll come accompany you later." Song Ruize touched her hair.
