After they boarded the car, Lin Rou Rou, who had been full of curiosity throughout the exchange, asked, “Ye Qian, why did that woman call you “benefactor”?”

Ye Qian smiled slightly and replied, “Once in F Country, she was in serious trouble. I b.u.mped into her just in time and helped her out.”

Ye Qian said it as if it were an ordinary matter, but Lin Rou Rou knew that it couldn’t have been that simple. But since Ye Qian did not expound further, she did not ask anymore. Some things you shouldn’t ask insist to ask about when people aren’t willing to talk about it. When the time comes Ye Qian might decide by himself to tell her, so she wasn’t going to pry. “Oh!” She exclaimed lightly. Then Lin Rou Rou did not say anything more.

They entered the bar and Lin Rou Rou’s eyes swept over the four corners of the establishment. When she saw Xu Ya Ying she waved her hand and then said to Ye Qian, “They are over there, let’s go.”

Ye Qian nodded and replied, “You go ahead, I’ll follow”

“Okay. But don’t you sneak out on me!” Lin Rou Rou smiled mischievously at Ye Qian, then walked towards Xu Ya Ying.

Ye Qian turned around and sat on the bar counter. He pulled out 1,500 dollars from his chest pocket and handed it over, and said to the little barmaid, “Here’s payment, thank you for your help.”

The barmaid smiled and received the money. Her eyes went towards Lin Rou Rou and asked, “Is she your girlfriend?”

Ye Qian smiled lightly and did not confirm anything. He asked, “Do you know anything about those people over there?”

The barmaid asked in shock, “You don’t know them? Then why were you with them?” She had seen Lin Rou Rou go directly to Xu Ya Ying upon entering the bar. She thought that Ye Qiang must know them too.

Ye Qian shook his head and replied, “I don’t know them. Is it very strange?”

The barmaid replied, “The guy wearing Armani is called Ou Yang Tian Ming. His father is’ SH City’s munic.i.p.al committee deputy secretary, Ou Yang Cheng. He’s a licentious young master. He’s one of the famous four young masters in SH City. The young people around him are also people of some influence. They’re either children of officials or children of moguls. Look at the way that Young Master Ou Yang is looking at your girlfriend, I reckon he’s taken a fancy to her, you must be careful.”

Ye Qian turned his head to look and saw Ou Yang Tian Ming was sitting beside Lin Rou Rou with a fawning expression on his face. But it seemed that Lin Rou Rou was not paying him any attention. Ye Qian smiled lightly and replied, “Thank you for your concern. But what is mine will always be mine. No one can take it and no one would dare take it.”

The barmaid stared at him blankly, then returned the smiled, said, “You’re quite confident.”

Ye Qian smiled faintly and did not explain further. He rose and waved goodbye at the barmaid and walked towards Lin Rou Rou’s table. When they saw Ye Qian approach, the young masters at the table looked at him with disdain and did not say anything. Lin Rou Rou quickly pulled him down to a seat beside her and asked, “What did you do just now?”

“Took a s.h.i.+t!” Ye Qian replied.

Lin Rou Rou looked at him blankly, then she ruthless pinched Ye Qian’s belly between her fingers. Those young lords gave him hateful looks, they were thinking that he lacked quality and was some unsophisticated country b.u.mpkin. Ye Qian did not pay them any mind and poured himself a gla.s.s of wine then drank. Those people did not like him, Ye Qian also did not like them. If Lin Rou Rou had not wanted to come he would not feel like a.s.sociating with them.

“Young Master Ou Yang, I heard you bought a new Porsche. How come you haven’t taken it out for spin?” Xu Ya Ying threw Ye Qian a disdainful look, then asked, “Let us have a taste of it.”

Ou Yan Tian Ming looked very indifferent and replied, “It’s just a Porsche, it’s nothing special. The elections are coming up so my father told me to lie low. You all know my father is the deputy secretary of the munic.i.p.al committee, my actions should not be publicly flamboyant.” As he said this he looked at Lin Rou Rou with an expression that he was pleased with himself. His face was dazzling. But Lin Rou Rou maintained a normal expression that made him feel uncomfortable.

“Young Lord Ou Yang, you say that the elections are coming up. Is there going to be some big action?” Zhao Xie asked.

“Yes, there should be a big exchange of blood. But the World Expo is also nearly at hand. The elections will most likely occur after the expo. Inside news is, now, the city secretary general may have to return to be demoted.“

“Then Deputy Secretary Ou Yang will get promoted for sure? That’s worthy of celebration, Young Master Ou Yang. Then it’s time to congratulate you in advance.” Zhao Xie said in a flattering manner.

Ou Yang Qiu said with pretended boldness, “It’s not certain. The other two deputy secretaries have a chance too. It’s not a.s.sured that my father will get it.” Even though he said these words, he did not in the slightest bit cover the pleased expression on his face. As if at this moment his father were already the munic.i.p.al committee secretary.

Xu Ya Ying patted Lin Rou Rou’s shoulders, said, “Rou Rou, Young Master Ou Yang still doesn’t have a girlfriend. You should take this chance now.”

Lin Rou Rou smiled lightly, “Is that so?”

Ou Yang Tian Ming laughed then said, “Rou Rou, will you honor me by accompanying me to dance?”

Lin Rou Rou stared at him blankly. Then her eyes couldn’t help but turn towards Ye Qian, only to discover that the brute looked like he hadn’t heard a word. He just kept drinking wine by himself. Lin Rou Rou gave him a resentful look and scolded him in her heart, he was really stupid. When she was about to answer Ou Yang Tian Ming, Ye Qian slowly put down his gla.s.s of wine and replied, “Young Lord Ou Yang is it? Rou Rou is my girlfriend, if she wants to dance with anybody it can only be me.” After saying this, without further explanation, he pulled Lin Rou Rou’s hand and led her to the dancefloor.

Ou Yang Tian looked at their retreating backs with eyes filled with darkness. He humphed coldly. Zhao Xie was inwardly pleased. That overconfident little man dared to clash with Young Master Ou Yang. He said in a very brown-nosed way, “Young Master Ou Yang, do you want us to teach him a lesson?”

“That’s right. Isn’t he only a security guard. s.h.i.+t, he dared to be this aggressive. When this daddy saw him I really wanted to beat him.” Lin Jian, who was on the same table, looked indignant, as if Ye Qian had XXOO his mom.

Ou Yang Tian Ming made small nods of his head, said, “Don’t take it too far. Right now keeping order is very important. It wouldn’t be good to cause too much of a scene. Give him a small lesson and it should be fine.”

Now that they had Young Master Ou Yang’s words, the group still did not unleash themselves. This Lin Jian was not some impressive person, with Young Master Ou Yang he was a rat in a snake’s nest. His father used to be a labor contractor, only recently did he start his construction business. He pulled some strings in SH City so that their business grew fast in a few years. They became rich just like that. But after all he was only a newly-rich upstart.
