220: Chapter 219: The Female Chairwoman 220: Chapter 219: The Female Chairwoman Liu Hun picked his suit jacket off the ground and draped it over Hu Qingdie’s shoulders, and this time she didn’t refuse. He told her, “Your clothes are all soaked through, use my jacket to cover up.” It was only then that Hu Qingdie seemed to suddenly realize something, and when she looked down... she felt both embarrassed and angry, gritting her teeth as she said to Liu Hun, “Are you still trying to take advantage of me? Do you still think I’m that kind of woman?” Liu Hun hadn’t expected the female chairman’s temper to flare up again and had to gently explain, “I didn’t intend to take advantage of you, it’s just that people will see you when we go out.” Hu Qingdie was taken aback, not having expected this man to be so considerate, using such gentle words to comfort her, which smoothed over the emotions that had just arisen in her heart, making her shyly turn her head to the side and say softly, “Just now... you also saw that thing, didn’t you? What... what do you think?” Liu Hun felt that Hu Qingdie’s disjointed remarks were really bizarre, and it took him a while to realize that she seemed to be referring to the pink object, the size of a pigeon’s egg that had been exposed earlier, so he asked, “What’s that thing for?” This question dumbfounded Hu Qingdie; she turned her head abruptly, eyeing Liu Hun as one would a child, taking several moments to ascertain that Liu Hun’s earnest expression was truly inquisitive and not some form of lewd mockery. “You... really don’t know what that thing is for?” Hu Qingdie asked Liu Hun carefully, watching his eyes intently. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Liu Hun scratched his head and said to Hu Qingdie, “I’m from a rural village, and this is my first time riding this kind of elevator. I haven’t seen many things. I really don’t know what that thing you’re carrying is for.” Phew! Thank heavens! Hu Qingdie felt a wave of relief and couldn’t help but let out a snicker, originally worried Liu Hun might blackmail her into doing something. Now, she even started to find the man rather endearing. “Chairwoman, what are you laughing at? What exactly is that thing for?” Liu Hun asked, somewhat perplexed, feeling that this woman’s mood swings were faster than changing weather, and he simply couldn’t keep up. With an amused smile still on her face, Hu Qingdie’s mind whirred as she explained to Liu Hun, “That thing is... for eye massages.” “Eye massage?” Liu Hun found it a bit strange, but upon thinking it over, it seemed to make some sense; such a small object wouldn’t be fitting for use anywhere else. “Yeah! Didn’t you see the wire attached to it? There’s a controller at the end of the wire, and it can be turned on to vibrate. The vibration has high and low frequencies, depending on how tired... your eyes are today,” Hu Qingdie explained to Liu Hun, and even though she was spinning a tale to hide something private and embarrassing, she couldn’t help feeling shy about the description. “Thump thump thump! Chairwoman, Director Liu! The engineers have arrived, stand a bit more inside, there might be some vibrations!” At that moment, a series of shouts came from outside the elevator, and Liu Hun quickly pulled Hu Qingdie into the corner of the elevator. After a bout of intense shaking, the elevator doors finally cracked open slowly. Just as Liu Hun was about to step out, Hu Qingdie quietly took hold of him and said, “Don’t talk about today’s incident, including the ‘eye massager.'” “Okay!” Liu Hun nodded in agreement. Hu Qingdie, wrapped in Liu Hun’s suit jacket, exited the elevator with her head held high, once again embodying the lofty demeanor of one in command. Behind Hu Qingdie, Liu Hun, watching as she reassumed her mask and disguise, already had his own ideas. He intended to completely strip away the burdensome façade carried by Hu Qingdie and make her the little woman in his arms, and by that time, the Hu Group would likely have a new name! After returning to Wanbao Village, Liu Hun had now effectively stabilized the situation at home base and was just waiting for the county’s official approval for the merger of the three villages. During this waiting period, he was far from idle and couldn’t afford to be, as his very first company was about to be established! The impressive display Liu Hun had put on at the Hu Group board meeting made Xu Chengpeng even more convinced of their collaboration. Xu became especially proactive about setting up a cosmetics manufacturing company, on one hand providing Liu Hun with a large number of medicinal plant seedlings, and on the other, urging Chen Qiuya to expedite the processing of the necessary formalities for establishing a company. Planting the medicinal seedlings was no challenge at all, as the surrounding three villages were already completely under his control. With nothing to worry about behind the scenes, Liu Hun entrusted the task to Qin Yue and the other women, asking them to lead the villagers into the mountains to sow medicinal herbs. He, on the other hand, went to find Chen Qiuya because she had encountered some trouble! When Liu Hun arrived at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, Chen Qiuya was negotiating with a clerk inside the counter. “How come you’re back again? Looking like a sly fox! A pretty face doesn’t work on me! I’ve said it three times already, this isn’t under our district’s Bureau’s jurisdiction! Are you deaf or dumb, not understanding human speech?” The female clerk inside the counter looked at Chen Qiuya with contempt, spitting out a shell of melon seeds as she spoke. Chen Qiuya managed her patience and said, “I ran around the city’s Industrial and Commercial Bureau and consulted relevant lawyers. I’ve made it very clear to you. The company’s paperwork requires your district Industrial and Commercial Bureau to issue it! You know I’ve run back and forth three times already. Is it so hard just to stamp a seal?” No sooner had Chen Qiuya finished speaking than she inadvertently infuriated the female clerk. The clerk set down her cup of tea, arrogantly cocked her head, and said to Chen Qiuya, “A lawyer is impressive? The city Industrial and Commercial Bureau is impressive?! Don’t you try to intimidate me with that nonsense! I wasn’t born yesterday!” With that, the female clerk pulled out the official seal from the drawer and waved it in front of Chen Qiuya’s face, saying, “See this? It’s right in my hand! But I just won’t stamp it for you! What are you going to do about it! You’ve already made the trip three times, haven’t you? Keep running, go on, make it four or five times. Whenever you’ve had your fill, maybe then I’ll stamp it for you!” Dealing with bureaucracy had truly pushed Chen Qiuya to her limits. Running back and forth was exhausting enough, not to mention the frustration she had to swallow. Just as Chen Qiuya was about to blow her top, a large hand from behind took hold of her and said, “You must be tired. Take a break, let me handle this.” “Liu Hun!” Chen Qiuya turned around and there was Liu Hun, suddenly her heart steadied. For some reason, she always felt at ease whenever this man appeared, as if there was nothing he couldn’t handle. “Oh, look who’s here! Coming to play the hero? Hah! Why don’t you take a look at yourself and see if you’re up to the task?” The female clerk raised her head, scoffing at Liu Hun with disdain. Liu Hun smiled faintly and asked the female clerk, “Could you tell me how I can get the seal stamped?” The female clerk, clutching the small official stamp, was delighted in every direction she looked. It was like holding the Emperor’s Jade Seal; it was power! If she didn’t use it to lord over the common people, how else could the power be fully appreciated? “Why don’t you follow your sweetheart’s example? Run to the city three times, then we’ll talk!” The female clerk said haughtily to Liu Hun, her chubby cheeks almost twisting like some sort of ethnic dance. Seeing that Liu Hun didn’t react, the female clerk looked at him askance and said, “What? Not happy with the rules? If you’re so capable, take a seat inside and let me stand outside! Go on!” The female clerk was clearly reveling in the moment, oblivious to the fact that Liu Hun’s expression had already changed. “Move it! What are you standing around for? I have to clock out soon! I still need to get my hair done. No time to waste with you!” While the clerk was getting ready to throw out the materials Chen Qiuya had submitted, she suddenly heard a loud noise beside her ear. “Crash!” Tempered glass—shattered! The female clerk watched in shock as a fist easily smashed through the tempered glass. Before she could even react, the fist turned into an open palm, and then “slap!” it came down hard across her face. The female clerk felt her head buzzing, and was sent sprawling to the floor from her chair, her tongue numb and no longer able to utter any of her previous arrogant remarks. “I’ve seen annoying women, but you take the cake!” Liu Hun said, stamped the documents with the official seal, and then took them out from the counter. The commotion not only startled Chen Qiuya, but also alerted the Industrial and Commercial Bureau’s security guards. A few of them immediately surrounded Liu Hun. Chen Qiuya swiftly hid herself behind Liu Hun as she saw what was happening, her mind fretting, this was definitely going to blow up into a big issue now! The female clerk, assisted by her colleagues, finally staggered out and as soon as she saw Liu Hun, she pointed at him, gnashing her teeth as if he had murdered her father, and said, “Catch him! Catch that thug! Take him to the Police right now! Showing off your strength, huh? We’ll see you crying once you’re inside!” “What’s all this commotion?!” Just as the security guards were about to move in, a man’s voice resounded from behind them. Liu Hun looked up to see a balding middle-aged man with a beer belly, clearly someone in charge here. Sure enough, the beaten female clerk, as soon as she saw this middle-aged man, flocked to him as if seeing her own father, instantly changing from a shrew to a sobbing damsel, telling the man, “Director Xing! I... I was struck by this thug! He even grabbed the official seal and stamped it himself!” Although Chen Qiuya hadn’t made a significant name for herself, as someone who’d been inside the system, she recognized this dynamic and knew these two must be involved with each other. She pondered what to do, certain of one thing: they were definitely going to find themselves in a police station and that the situation was royally botched. “What? Is that so? That’s simply lawless...” Director Xing was about to express his indignation on behalf of his mistress when, staring at Liu Hun’s face, his own expression changed. He peered closely at Liu Hun’s face for a moment and suddenly remembered, blurting out, “Mr. Liu!”
