Chapter 33 The Little Beauty Shows Her Power
Despite Su Ji's coercion and temptation, Qin Chao refused to fall for her trap, even when she was about to use her feminine wiles. He simply said that he would only be a security guard and not a cook.
"Hmph! Just you wait until we get back to school. I'll tell my sister to make you wear small shoes every day!" Su Ji threatened.
"Fine, I'll wear them if I have to." Qin Chao shrugged as he finished washing the dishes. "I've worn them before anyway."
"Hmph, this isn't over between us!" Su Ji rolled her eyes, feeling irritated by this unambitious guy. But when she saw how relaxed and content Qin Chao was humming a tune while doing the dishes, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you always cook for yourself? And did you have a girlfriend when you were in college?"
"What kind of leader are you supposed to be?" Qin Chao replied, putting away the dishes and pouring a cup of steaming hot milk tea for Su Ji. "You're just a gymnastics teacher at the school."
"Hmph, I'm also the honorary principal!" Su Ji boasted, blowing on the hot tea and asking, "Why don't you make yourself a cup?"
"Cough, cough, men shouldn't drink this." Qin Chao coughed twice and sat down across from Su Ji. He couldn't help but start fantasizing about her beauty. If he could have a girlfriend like her, it would be the result of several lifetimes of good fortune.
"Oh?" Su Ji laughed, her eyes forming two pretty crescent moons. "Since you won't drink it, why do you have it at home? Is it to hide a beauty in a golden house?"
"No way!" Qin Chao quickly waved his hand. "I don't have that kind of money."
He remembered the last time when the landlord brought an old man and his mistress to see the apartment. They almost turned it into a place to hide mistresses. But they had money, while he was broke and even owed rent. Who would come to him for that?
"My ex-girlfriend liked to drink it, so I bought a lot and kept it." Qin Chao fell into reminiscence. He remembered when he and his girlfriend first moved to Sunan, she was very determined to live with him in this small apartment.
After persisting for a while, his girlfriend couldn't stand the impoverished lifestyle anymore. In less than a month, she moved out and ran off with their class's wealthy class president.
The class president came from a family with some background and had started his own small company, so he had some money.
When his girlfriend moved out, Qin Chao didn't say a word. He just felt that maybe she would have a better life if she left him. Also, the money he had at the time wasn't enough to support his girlfriend who was accustomed to a lavish lifestyle.
"Oh no, I'm going to be late!" Su Ji, who was quick-witted, could see everything from Qin Chao's desolate eyes. However, she didn't expose him and just exclaimed, putting down her cup of milk tea, and startling Qin Chao out of his reverie.
He looked up at the clock on the wall and also exclaimed, "Isn't it already six-sixty? I'm going to be late for work!"
"Haha, our security chief is afraid of being late too?" Su Ji covered her mouth and laughed carelessly.
"What are you laughing at? Don't you have work to do too?"
"I have class in the afternoon, and besides, I won't get docked pay for being late."
"Damn it...hurry up and get dressed. You're walking around half-naked!"
"You pervert! I'm wearing a windbreaker!"
"You're wearing a windbreaker? I didn't see it..."
"You bastard..."
Like a pair of lifelong lovers, they quarreled and bantered, then finished getting ready. Su Ji wore her T-shirt and boots, paired with seductive black stockings.
The two of them, like a long-term couple, left together.
"Oh no, I forgot. I have to wear my uniform!" Qin Chao suddenly slapped his forehead beside the door, startled. "Wait for me at the door, don't peek!"
"Maybe you definitely watched a lot yesterday, I'm going to watch it now!" With that, the girl pulled Qin Chao's arm and was about to barge in.
Qin Chao suddenly broke out in a sweat, thinking that this girl was too strong-willed. He pushed Su Ji out repeatedly, shouting, "Miss, please let me go. I'll treat you to dinner another day!"
After speaking, he ran away, leaving Su Ji laughing carelessly.
This laughter, like the tinkling of silver bells, soon attracted the attention of another family.
"Click!" The door of Qin Chao's neighbor's house creaked open. A well-dressed, pretty woman walked out. However, this woman was slightly plump and had an unpleasant expression.
"Qin Chao, you little scoundrel, can't you watch porn quietly and stop disturbing me from sleeping?"
This woman was the wife of the couple next door, named Wang Yan. Her husband, Tang Chuan, worked as a clerk in the procuratorate. Although his salary was not high, he was still a civil servant, quite respectable. The two of them lived frugally and bought a Hafer SUV, which cost only about 100,000 yuan and was bought on credit.
Especially since this kind of small civil servant had a low monthly salary and a pitifully small bonus, he had to take out 1,000 yuan a month to maintain the car. It could be said that he was the type who would rather die than lose face.
Wang Yan was originally pinching her waist, looking like a shrewish woman, ready to teach Qin Chao, who didn't even have a job, a lesson. As the wife of a civil servant, she still had some sense of superiority.
Especially since Qin Chao had no job, no girlfriend, and had always been the target of ridicule by everyone. But today, Wang Yan was dumbfounded. She pinched her waist, stood there, and watched a beautiful woman leaning against Qin Chao's door.
That beauty was wearing a red windbreaker, her chest undulating like waves, making Wang Yan, who was chubby but had hardly any flesh on her chest, feel inferior.
At that moment, a thought flashed through Wang Yan's mind: did this smelly brat strike it rich and find such a beautiful prostitute at some nightclub?
"Excuse me, ma'am, who are you looking for?" Su Ji raised her eyebrows and saw that this woman was unfriendly. She traveled around a lot and had seen all sorts of people, so she naturally wouldn't be polite.
"Ma'am?" Wang Yan had a black line on her head and felt annoyed. She was only 24 years old and was actually called "ma'am" by a young woman! This was really unbearable!
She immediately put on her shrewish demeanor and started to curse at Su Ji.
"Have you no manners? How dare you address people like that! You're dressed like a seductress, like a fairy from a nightclub. I heard that the Tian Shang Ren Jian in the capital was closed down. Are you one of the girls who ran away from there? Let me tell you, we in Su Nan are very strict with girls like you. If you know what's good for you, you better hurry up and go to Dongguan!"
"Hey, aunty, does your husband often visit prostitutes? How do you know so much?" Su Ji was not one to be trifled with. She hugged her arms and sneered at Wang Yan.
"Nonsense!" Wang Yan's eyes widened, and she started to curse. "My husband works for the procuratorate! Let me tell you, if you don't disappear, my husband will arrest you!"
"Hahaha..." Su Ji laughed, squinting her eyes and rubbing her stomach. "You're really funny, aunty. Even if there are prostitutes here, your husband can't do anything about it. What's the big deal with working for the procuratorate? Do you think your husband is Superman or something?"
"You..." Wang Yan was furious. She yelled, "Tang Chuan, come out and help me! Your wife is being bullied, and you're not even helping!"
The commotion attracted the attention of the entire building. The soundproofing of the building was not good, and you could hear everything from the first floor to the fifth floor. Wang Yan's voice was particularly loud, so soon everyone in the building came out to watch the show.
Li Na, who lived on the other side, also opened her door. She saw a beautiful woman leaning against Qin Chao's door, and was momentarily stunned.
Remembering last night when Qin Chao's brother wouldn't let her in, was it because she brought this pretty sister back with her?
Qin Chao gege...has he found another girlfriend?
Li Na suddenly felt a little sad, her eyes turning red, but she didn't say anything, standing at the door watching Wang Yan's commotion.
"What's going on?" A man with a clean face emerged from behind Wang Yan. He had a beer belly and wore a blue prosecutor's uniform. He spoke in an official tone as he stood proudly in the corridor.
"Comrade, what's the matter with you? How can you make such a commotion in the hallway? It's not good for anyone. Look, you've woken everyone up. Be careful, I'll report you for disturbing the peace."
The man looked familiar to Su Ji, who smiled and said, "Hey, I recognize you. I think I saw you on TV during the anti-pornography campaign. You were caught at a nightclub, right? Yes, that's it. I remember now. It left a deep impression."
Wang Yan was furious. Her anger burned like a small flame, causing her head to ache. She turned around and glared at her husband, Tang Chuan. He was so scared that his face turned pale and his heart raced.
He looked at Su Ji's pretty face and her impressive cleavage, thinking that she was quite attractive. But he couldn't remember when he had been caught before. He was always very careful.
"You shameless man! How dare you go to those places!" Wang Yan grabbed her husband's ear and cursed him loudly. "What's wrong with me? You actually went to find those shady women! You heartless person, I'll fight you!"
The onlookers were surprised. Tang Chuan's family had the best conditions in the building. After all, he was a civil servant, drove a car, and enjoyed a leisurely life. Many of the ignorant bystanders were envious of him.
Little did they know that this civil servant was also struggling.
"I didn't do it..."
"What do you mean you didn't do it? Everyone recognized you! You, Tang Chuan, are always running around, telling me that you have meetings at night. It turns out that you were doing this!"
"Mind the influence! Mind the influence!"
"What influence? What should I mind? I see through you. I can't take it anymore!" Wang Yan sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Chapter 34 Two Tigers Cannot Share One Mountain
Watching a commotion is a national pastime, especially when it involves other people. As long as it's not happening in one's own household, it's considered free entertainment.
Wang Yan sat on the ground crying, while people around her pointed and talked as if they were watching monkeys in a zoo. Tang Chuan, who usually acted superior and had a condescending look towards others, was now red-faced and unsure of what to do as he rubbed his beer belly. He could only apologize to his wife in a low voice, attempting to take her home. But Wang Yan had already thrown caution to the wind and refused to get up from the ground, crying loudly throughout the entire building. Such tough women were not uncommon in some northern cities.
"What's going on? Did I just travel back in time to 2012?" Qin Chao, who had just changed into his uniform, heard the commotion outside and rushed out as if he had seen a ghost.
As soon as the young man appeared, Li Na and Su Ji's eyes lit up. Though both wearing uniforms, Tang Chuan looked like a corrupt official, while Qin Chao looked sharp and spirited.
"Qin Chao, you bastard!" Wang Yan, who had just been crying and begging for death, suddenly jumped up and cursed at him. "You brought these unscrupulous women home. Be careful, you might catch a disease and rot your little thing down there!"
"Um..." Qin Chao was at a loss as to what was happening. What was wrong with Wang Yan? She acted like a crazy person.
"What's wrong with her? Did she take the wrong medicine?" Qin Chao asked the pretty girl next to him, who gave him a smile and replied, "No, we were discussing some academic issues that don't concern you."
As she spoke, the pretty girl leaned affectionately against Qin Chao, and sweetly said to Wang Yan, "We are colleagues and respectable people. You should be careful with your husband. I heard some people have peculiar tastes and don't use protection when they visit prostitutes. You should remind him more often."
"What?" Wang Yan was dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. She stood there motionless, and her husband quickly tried to defend himself.
"What nonsense are you spouting? I always use protection!"
"Oh...haha..." Su Ji laughed, a smile that Qin Chao was familiar with. It was strikingly similar to Rosy's smile. Qin Chao even suspected that Rosy might be Su Ji's sister.
The whole hallway erupted into commotion, and everyone understood what had happened. Tang Chuan had indeed been to that kind of place, and he had taken good precautions.
"You shameless person, you really went!" Wang Yan cried out, charging towards Tang Chuan's belly.
"I'm divorcing you! Divorcing you!" Wang Yan couldn't get past Tang Chuan's belly, so she ran downstairs. Tang Chuan turned pale; if they divorced, he wouldn't have to work as a civil servant anymore.
So, he immediately chased after his wife. The onlookers dispersed, excitedly discussing the events. It seemed that they had a topic for tea and dinner tonight.
Qin Chao understood that Wang Yan must have provoked Su Ji. This girl wasn't easy to deal with; even Qin Chao was no match for her. How could Wang Yan and her husband be her opponents?
Su Ji let go of Qin Chao's arm, making him feel a little uneasy. He coughed twice and said, "You're amazing. Even when someone calls you a miss, you don't get angry."
"What's the use of getting angry?" Su Ji shrugged, "Getting angry will only make them insult me more. It's better to be calm and collected. If they slander me, I'll slander them back. Hmph, let's see who's more ruthless."
Qin Chao couldn't help but give her a thumbs up. This girl was really something. With this move, that prosecutor colleague of Tang Chuan's had stepped in yellow mud and wouldn't be able to explain himself for the rest of his life.
"Who is this sister?" Li Na couldn't help but walk out of the house and stand opposite Qin Chao, "Is she your friend?"
The little girl deliberately didn't say "girlfriend" but instead used the word "friend," which was worth pondering.
Su Ji narrowed her eyes. Although Qin Chao didn't realize it, she, as a woman, had already sensed that Li Na's feelings towards Qin Chao weren't quite normal.
"This is my colleague." Although he really wanted to say, "This is my wife," Qin Chao didn't have the courage, so he spoke the truth.
But he didn't notice that when he said this, Li Na visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'll go downstairs to get the vehicle." Even though the vehicle was inside his own ring, Qin Chao didn't want to shock the world, so he pretended to go and get it. "I'll call you down when I have the vehicle. You two can chat."
With that, he went downstairs and pretended to get the vehicle.
At this moment, Su Ji walked up to Li Na. Su Ji was tall, over 1.7 meters, and Qin Chao was originally 1.75 meters tall. If Su Ji wore high heels, she would basically catch up to him. Luckily, during his embryonic stage, Qin Chao's body was modified, and he grew to 1.78 meters, regaining a bit of face. The two of them standing together looked a bit like a couple.
Li Na was a bit shorter, about 1.6 meters tall, a whole head shorter than Su Ji.
"You're so cute, little sister! Where do you go to middle school?" Su Ji asked.
"I'm already a senior in high school! I'm not a little sister!" Li Na was immediately annoyed, sticking out her chest and looking up at Su Ji. However, Su Ji just smiled and seemed indifferent to Li Na's retort.
After comparing herself and the other woman's chest, Li Na realized how small she was. She became discouraged but still said firmly, "Hmph, I'll definitely steal Qin Chao back!"
Su Ji laughed even more happily. It seemed that Qin Chao was still a hot commodity. With such a cute neighbor, who even claimed to be single every day, he really didn't know how lucky he was...
However, Su Ji also felt a bit sour. She didn't say anything, just touched Li Na's hair again and turned to go downstairs.
"I won't give up either!" As she went down the stairs, she suddenly came to her senses and made a small fist at Li Na. Li Na made a face, and the two of them faced off like this.
"Let's hurry, we're already late!" Downstairs, Qin Chao was straddling his divine bicycle and waving to Su Ji, "Miss, I'm afraid of getting my pay docked!" Qin Chao didn't know that in that corridor, two women had already opened the prelude to war for him.
"Got it!" Su Ji ran over, wrapped her arms around Qin Chao's waist, and sat in the back seat of the bike.
"Drive fast!" Su Ji suddenly shouted, "I dreamt last night that this bike can fly! Qin Chao, can you fly it for me to see?"
"You can keep dreaming!" Qin Chao rolled his eyes secretly. In his heart, he knew that it was not a dream. He quickly pedaled the bike and headed towards Guangyuan School. In broad daylight and with a beauty behind him, he couldn't dare to ride the bike to cross buildings anymore.
It took nearly twenty minutes to reach the school gate on the road, and at this time, the on-duty security guard was checking the student ID cards of those who came and went at night. Qin Chao grumbled in his heart, thinking that these little brats were responsible enough to check so early in the morning.
"Come with me, I know a shortcut!" Su Ji hurriedly patted Qin Chao's back and pointed to the other corner.
As a local snake, Su Ji knew the place well. Qin Chao rode the bike according to her guidance and arrived at the corner of the wall. He then realized that the corner of this side of the wall was relatively low and could be climbed over if something was used to stand on.
"Give me a hand, I'll climb over first, and then you can follow!" Su Ji said, jumping off the bike and waving at Qin Chao.
"Can you do it?" Qin Chao looked up at the wall, which was not very high but still about two meters high, and for a girl, it was still a bit difficult.
"What's the big deal!" Su Ji said it was not a problem, "I was a sports champion in college! Hurry up, don't dawdle!"
Helplessly, Qin Chao leaned the bike against the wall, then squatted down and put his hands on his thighs.
"Okay, I'm coming!" Su Ji was very satisfied, jumped onto Qin Chao's hands, and in her red dress, easily climbed up the wall.
Then she flipped over and jumped into the wall, leaving Qin Chao stunned. This little girl must have been very mischievous when she was young, and had surely done things like climbing onto rooftops and lifting tiles.
"Su, Miss Su?" Qin Chao didn't know that on the other side of the wall, there was another person staring in shock.
"Oh, it's Director Wang." Sure enough, that guy with the electric baton, now wearing a security uniform and holding the classic electric baton, looked foolishly at Su Ji as she jumped off the wall.
He was depressed. Today he was supposed to catch those students who were climbing over the wall, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish, and she was a mermaid. Although Su Ji appeared to be a schoolteacher on the surface, she was after all the sister of Chairman Su Fei and also held the title of honorary principal. He couldn't afford to offend her.
"Please take care and watch your step." Director Wang said respectfully, nodding and bowing to Su Ji.
"Wait, there's one more." Just as she said that, on the other side of the wall, Qin Chao put his bike in his ring, bent his knee, and with a leap, jumped onto the two-meter-high wall.
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared, which startled Director Wang. He was secretly happy, finally catching a student, so he could get some credit and return to his position as director, and kick Qin Chao out of his office.
As the saying goes, you can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night. He had just uttered Qin Chao's name, and Qin Chao himself appeared before him in a magnificent way.
"That student, show me your student ID... damn, it's you?" Director Wang was completely dumbfounded. He had been squatting here for half a day today and only caught two people. One was Su Fei's sister, a gymnastics teacher at the school. He couldn't afford to offend her. The other was the bastard kid he had been unable to get along with since entering the school... no, he hadn't even entered the school yet, and now he was his immediate superior... damn, it seemed that he couldn't afford to offend him either.
"Not bad, I just came to check, and you're very diligent." Qin Chao cleared his throat and patted Director Wang's shoulder. "Young man, keep up the good work. The organization appreciates you."
