Paying the Debt (1)
The next day, Xu Pinyu did not go to work.
She packed her luggage and moved to Shen Youbai’s apartment under coercion and temptation.
It wasn’t until she arrived at his residence that Xu Pinyu realized that it was called as an apartment, but was actually written as a detached duplex, or villa for short.
She couldn’t imagine how wealthy a rich person could be.
For example, they could have a swimming pool in this prime location.
Xu Pinyu missed work for two days in a row and showed up in the middle of winter.
Lin Minmin looked at her walk into the manager’s office, like looking at a warrior about to face execution.

However, strangely enough, Xu Pinyu came out in one piece after a short while.
Lin Minmin asked in surprise, “A review?”
Xu Pinyu calmly shook her head, “No.”
Lin Minmin was even more surprised, “Can you survive until the end of the month?”
Xu Pinyu thought for a moment and nodded, “As of now, it should be okay.”
Lin Minmin patted her on the shoulder, “You must have a strong background. Going in and out in three minutes without being scolded and without the need for self-reflection, it’s impossible!”
Xu Pinyu said curiously, “Translate.”
Lin Minmin answered, “Incredible.”
Xu Pinyu let out a long “Oh” and said, “I’ve been taught.”
Although not as surprised as Lin Minmin, Xu Pinyu walked into the office with the determination to die.
Unexpectedly, Shen Youbai’s assistant had already notified Su Hong that there were important matters related to the temporary transfer of Xu Pinyu out of the post.
Even though rules were meant for upper management to regulate subordinates, there was no need for a junior supervisor to handle certain matters and bypass her immediate superior.
Needless to say, whether this was true or whether it’s just a case of publicity, it’s not for Su Hong to ask.
At that time, the subtle expression on Xu Pinyu’s face let Su Hong realize the general idea.
If it were a man drinking and dining with the CEO, then you would be a big tree on the list, and your career would be prosperous just around the corner.
However, Xu Pinyu was a good-looking woman with no social background and a poor family.
So the way Su Hong looked at her was mostly with regret, thinking that she had finally fallen into a trap and was using her looks to climb the ladder.
Xu Pinyu naturally understood the meaning behind her expression and felt somewhat helpless, but she didn’t explain further.
She thought she could spend the day relaxing after her absence from work, but then something unlucky happened to her.
At around 5pm, Xu Pinyu received a report from the head of the catering department that a few residents had drunk too much in the restaurant and were acting crazy.
She rushed over to the restaurant and saw three drunken men being held up, and the situation was under control.
At that moment, a man’s footsteps drifted and stumbled, and Xu Pinyu subconsciously held him up.
The man pointed at her and stared for a while, then suddenly his eyes flashed brightly, “Hey, it’s you.”
Xu Pinyu froze, then remembered that this man had once handed her a coat and tissue paper at the entrance of the subway.
She returned to her senses, stabilized Geng Feiran, and said, “Please give me your room card.”
After struggling to drag the drunk man back, Xu Pinyu opened the door and helped him stagger in.

But in the room stood two tall men, dressed in suits and wearing solemn expressions that made Xu Pinyu startled.
The next second, the person behind her immediately covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel.
Xu Pinyu struggled fiercely for a few moments, but the irritating smell gradually made her lose her strength.
The hotel’s camera network was well-placed. To avoid being discovered too early, Geng Feiran gave her a long trench coat to cover the hotel overalls skirt.
Xu Pinyu knew she was being supported out of the room, down the elevator, and into the car.
She was still conscious, but she was unable to resist.
When Xu Pinyu regained enough control over herself, she propped herself up on the seat.
She felt in her pockets and confirmed that her communication equipment had been taken.
Geng Feiran expected her to cry or panic first.
However, she actually asked, “Kidnapping is a criminal offense, can’t you think of that when you’re so young?”
Xu Pinyu’s reaction was beyond his expectation. Geng Feiran paused for a moment before apologizing, “I’m sorry.”
If he didn’t use this method, he wouldn’t have had the chance to take her away from Shen Youbai’s turf.
Watching the scenery outside the car window continue to fly by, Xu Pinyu frowned, “Where are you taking me?”
Geng Feiran said, “Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person.”
Xu Pinyu glanced at him, “I felt the same way before, but now I don’t think so.”
Geng Feiran inexplicably smiled, “At least I won’t hurt you, so please cooperate with me.”
Not getting any answers, she simply closed her mouth and stopped talking.
At the same time, Xu Pinyu thought about the fact that if he kidnapped her and took her for assault, he would have just drugged her in the hotel room.
Was it for blackmail or to kill?
In the former case, it’s probably because they had learned of her relationship with Shen Youbai.
In the latter case, Xu Pinyu should not have any grudges against him, so it was most likely that someone asked him to do this.
And Geng Feiran’s courteous attitude puzzled her.
In the winter on Feizhou Island, there’s a big difference in temperature between day and night.
The sun only shone until about six o’clock, and when the sky darkened, it’s as cold as falling into the deep sea.
Xu Pinyu stood on the tarmac. The cold wind blew her hair into disarray, and once she got off the car, she shivered from the cold.
What she saw in front of her directly negated her previous assumptions.
There was no need for blackmail when there was enough financial resources to send a private jet.
There was no need to make a big fuss about changing the location of the feng shui site, not to mention killing people to silence them.
Thinking about it, all that was left was, “Is it someone from the Shen family who wants to see me?”
As soon as she spoke, Geng Feiran revealed a look of surprise that said, ‘How did you know?’
Xu Pinyu looked away, stepped onto the plane, and left him with the words, “I have a brain.”
Geng Feiran scratched his forehead, was he disliked?
Since Xu Pinyu had already guessed it, Geng Feiran didn’t hide it anymore because he didn’t want to be a kidnapper.
Before this, when he met her at the subway entrance, it was because Old Shen got a wind of some rumor and sent Geng Feiran to go to that city in order to investigate Shen Youbai’s past.
But at that time, Geng Feiran didn’t know that Xu Pinyu was the mysterious woman he was looking for.
It was only recently that Mr. Shen got hold of a lot of information about her, so he couldn’t sit still.
It was a three-hour flight and an hour and a half by land. Before she drifted off to sleep, she arrived at the destination.
In the night, two lanterns were lit in front of the gate of this simple and quaint mansion, which was quite impressive to say the least.
Just as she stepped over the threshold, a dog barked from deep within the mansion which woke her up considerably.
Through twists and turns, Geng Feiran led her to the study.
In Xu Pinyu’s imagination, his grandfather should be a solemn and dignified old man who never smiled.
Perhaps she subconsciously thought that Shen Youbai was a cold and distant ancestor.
Before entering the door, the old man sitting inside looked over from afar. The aura was indeed passed down from generation to generation.
After Geng Feiran left with the door closed, Xu Pinyu sat down with fear and trepidation.
She watched Shen Qingzheng move without haste, brewing tea skillfully.
Under the light of several candles, the color of the tea was excellent.
“Have some tea.” Shen Qingzheng’s voice was low.
Xu Pinyu carefully lifted the tea cup and took a sip.
When the tea entered her throat, it was so bitter that tears came out of her eyes.
Shen Qingzheng looked at her rapidly changing expression and asked, “Is it not good?”
Xu Pinyu shook her head repeatedly, her voice seemed to become hoarse from bitterness.
Shen Qingzheng lowered his eyes and slowly washed the tea, saying, “My grandson seems to have caused you a lot of trouble.”
Xu Pinyu hurriedly said, “You’re too polite, I and…”
“I’m not sure who’s being courteous to you.” Shen Qingzheng dropped the tea set with a crisp sound.
He crossed his arms to his chest and raised his chin towards Xu Pinyu, “Haven’t watched a TV drama ah. What I meant to ask was, how much money do you want to leave that boy Shen Youbai?”
Xu Pinyu froze, then hesitantly spoke, “Feelings are priceless…”
Shen Qingzheng directly cut it off, “Don’t talk to me about this.”
Xu Pinyu blinked, remained silent for less than a moment, and slowly raised three fingers.
Shen Qingzheng raised his eyebrows, originally thinking that the girl who could make his grandson confused must have something special.
He inwardly sighed, but she was also a woman who was greedy for wealth.
Shen Qingzheng asked, “Three million?”
Xu Pinyu pursed her lips and shook her head.
He frowned and said coldly, “Thirty million?”
Xu Pinyu firmly said, “Three hundred million.”
It really made Shen Qingzheng open his mouth but was silent for a while. Then he slammed the table, “Hey, you little girl, quite daring to say ah.”
He was so angry that he was curious, “Then I’d like to ask you, what are you going to do with the three hundred million?”
Xu Pinyu obediently replied, “To tell you the truth, although I’ve just entered Jinglu, I’ve also heard that in the business circle, there’s a saying that the south wind sinks and the north east wind blows. This refers to Shen family and the Dongfeng Group in the north. The two giants have been competing with each other for many years.”
Shen Qingzheng raised his eyebrows.
She then said, “With this three hundred million, I want to get into the Dongfeng Group so that I can use the money you provided to fight against Shen Group every day.”
Xu Pinyu picked up the tea cup, drank it all in one gulp then put it down and said, “You make me unhappy, and I won’t make it easy for you.”
Shen Qingzheng looked at her with a somewhat distraught expression, then suddenly slapped the table and burst into laughter.
He laughed and pointed at Xu Pinyu, “You’re really interesting.”
She looked at Shen Qingzheng in confusion.
