I'm Not Going to Be Bullied By a Girl

Chapter 381 – A Compromise

“You made a mistake.” I declined Ai ShuQiao’s proposal, “I’m not interested in older women.”

That was actually a lie, the class leader is older than me by a day.

Su Qiao may be older than me by three years, but she’s frail and lacks confidence. She’s also not as tall as the class leader and appears younger than her actual age.

It seems there aren’t many tall acrobats. I don’t know if it’s because shorter people have more stability or if it’s because the intense training at a young age affected their growth.

No, now’s not the time to look at Su Qiao as the opposite sex. The problem is that Ai ShuQiao’s proposal is insane, who gives their 15 year… no, 14 year old son a mistress?

“Really.” Ai ShuQiao wasn’t very surprised about my decision, “Well, that’s a shame. Since you don’t like Su Qiao, and I never have losses in a business, I could only make her drink with clients or provide bed service to corrupt officials…”

“You… dare.” I blurted.

Why am I protecting a girl who set me up? It might be because Su Qiao’s tears moved me. On the other hand, Ai ShuQiao ordered Su Qiao to plant the weed on me and didn’t go easy on me. But the final result was some of the weed spilled out and Constable Ma couldn’t punish me with the full extent of the law.

Even with Auntie Ren’s connections, if I was carrying over 50 grams of weed, Constable Ma would not have let it go. I should be glad Su Qiao had some doubts when planting some weed and spilled some.

Afterwards, when Su Qiao was scolded and crying in the bamboo forest proved she reduced the amount of weed on purpose and didn’t follow Ai ShuQiao’s plans.

Now that I think about it, the one who notified Auntie Ren that I was in trouble was probably Su Qiao.

In short, even though Su Qiao played a large part in the weed incident, she was coerced by Ai ShuQiao the entire time. But she still notified Auntie Ren to save me, so I can’t really judge her too harshly.

The one who took away brother Optimus Prime is the one I vowed to enact revenge upon.

As for Su Qiao, she’s merely a 17 year old girl who ran away from home because she dreams of becoming a celebrity. Because she got involved in the fight between Ai ShuQiao and me, does she now have to service those corrupt politicians for the next ten years?

And what kind of media company is Ai ShuQiao running? You don’t have to learn from Korea and make your artists also act as escorts!

“You’re a dishonest child.” Ai ShuQiao laughed, “If you’re not planning on using her, why do you care if someone else uses her.”

“… you can’t be so cruel to her.”

“Ha, only those with power can decide if someone is treated nicely or poorly. I’ll pass over the rights to decide Su Qiao’s fate to you and you can have a taste of power.”

“I’ll take the twenty thousand you gave me and convert it into stock in the Tian Mu Xing Guang Limited Media company. Although your shares are nothing compared to me, but you would still be the second stockholder of the company. As a stockholder and my representative, you have the right to make changes to the company’s plans and employees…”

“Who wants to be your representative, I…”

“Don’t interrupt me. I’m going to let you know that manager Fu, the person I assigned to be in charge of Su Qiao, is a well known pervert who lived in Korea for pretty long time. If it wasn’t for my orders, he would have already laid his hands on Su Qiao. How would you compete with him if you weren’t a stockholder and my representative?”

“Why would I compete with him? Isn’t it your company?”

Ai ShuQiao chuckled, “I firmly believe that competition leads to success. You can really ascertain a person’s qualities through competition. Just view it as one of the tests for becoming my assistant.”

Ai ShuQiao continued to speak while ignoring my wishes:

“Anyway, if you’re not going to use Su Qiao, then give her to someone else. If you don’t manage her as a stockholder, she will have a hard time at the company. I’ll let you decide her fate.”

Then she hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

I threw the phone in a fit of anger on the ground, but instead of breaking, it bounced back up and almost hit my nose. As expected of a rugged military phone.

Peng TouSi, who heard the entire conversation, quietly picked up the phone and persuaded me:

“Lin, keep calm, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

“An opportunity?”

“Because of the tree and returning money incidents, Madam Ai ShuQiao has changed her hostile attitude towards you. Which means you would have less of a psychological burden in everyday life.”

“Tsk, so, I ain’t afraid of her.”

Although I may have said that, but Ai ShuQiao only thinks of me as a housefly. She will try to hit me if she sees me, but she doesn’t take the effort to use pesticide. If that was the case, I would have been long dead.

“Lin, based on my many years of observation, Madam Ai ShuQiao loves it when people get caught up between two difficult choices. Since her interests are currently focused on you, you can try to get to know that girl and the company more and maybe even cause a ruckus.”

It would be hard for me to screw up a company as an outsider. The problem is what should I do with Su Qiao?

“Do you hate her because she betrayed you once?” Peng TouSi got straight to the point.

“Maybe… a bit.”

“Then get your revenge.”

“Huh?”

“If you can’t get rid of the hatred, release it instead of hiding it deep inside of you.”

“Teach Su Qiao a lesson in a manner you find fair. Afterwards, whether it’s helping her escape the company or leaving her alone, just listen to your heart.”

I haven’t really thought of a lesson for her. She already has the face of a tragic heroine that makes you feel guilty if you punish her, but I’m not kind enough to help her out while feeling resent towards her.

I guess we could make an equal exchange. The cost of her betraying me plus my future help will be paid with me bullying her a bit.

I was thinking as the online store grows, I would need to hire another worker. It’s not a good long term plan to let Shu Zhe keep acting as a trap. Firstly, it would be dangerous if the class leader found out. Secondly, I wouldn’t be able to keep taking pictures of Shu Zhe in those outfits once my dad comes home.

The thought of making Su Qiao become the rope model instead of Shu Zhe flashed through my mind. Even though she has a good body from acrobatics, I feel it would be a bit bad to ask an aspriring celebrity to be a rope model.

I’m actually looking forward to her cooking skills. If she can cook for me for half a month until I win the basketball tournament, then I could begin to head to the class leader’s house for free meals and I could generously forgive Su Qiao for her crimes.

Look, I’m perfectly content with only 15 meals. If it was Shu Zhe, then Su Qiao would definitely tortured and put through hardships.

I came to a compromise with Peng TouSi that I would continue to attract Ai ShuQiao’s attention while John and him continue to look for incriminating evidence.

I stuck my hands in my pockets and asked Peng TouSi:

“Even though you said you want to save Ai ShuQiao’s soul, it really just looks like you’re betraying her, so why does she trust you so much?”

Peng TouSi smiled mysteriously and began taking off the top of his suit.

Peng TouSi pointed to his left ribs.

“What do you see?”

“Abs.”

“Is there nothing strange other than abs?”

“Which part is strange?”

“Peng TouSi shook his head and explained:”

“Last time I visited Ai ShuQiao, my left ribs were broken.”

Ah, did Ai ShuQiao break it with her heels? In old photos, Ai ShuQiao gave off an image of Femme Fatales, but is she more like a female Tyson?

“The reason I was called back to America was partly because I let you get near the Misses, but the other reason was because one of our singers got into an argument with the Sicilian Mafia. It seems that male singer laid his hands on the daughter of the godfather…”

“Damn, that’s fucking bold. What else is there to say, just cut off his third leg.”

“But this singer is currently ascending in popularity, so Madam Ai ShuQiao wants to protect him. The godfather didn’t agree with receiving money, so he suggested: each side send out three people to fight a metal cage deathmatch. He’ll admit defeat if he loses, but we have to hand over the singer if he wins.”

I could kind of already guess how he was injured.

“Madam Ai ShuQiao sent me alone against three people to completely dominate them.”

“Steelcage deathmatches are my speciality. I shouldn’t have made mistakes, but I was still a bit jetlagged and didn’t want to kill the opponent, so I accidentally recevied a knee strike. Fortunately, I was still able to win and didn’t embarrass Madam Ai ShuQiao.”

“Because I was willing to put my life on the line for Madam Ai ShuQiao, and she doesn’t know anything that’s more precious than life, so she believes I’m the most devoted person to her… which is correct, I am indeed willing to use my life to pay back her grace.”

“You’re full of contradictions.” I smiled bitterly and told him to get dressed.

“Thanks.” Peng TouSi received his jacket I passed to him and appeared shy, “Lin, you’re too kind.”

Shit, don’t give me those flirty eyes, do you want me to break your right ribs too?

When I returned to room 101, Ai Mi had already finished all the chips and cola. The two of them even destroyed all the evidence.

But wait, what’s the scene I see? Why is Xiong YaoYue letting Ai Mi ride her like a horse? I only left for a bit and the capitalist Ai Mi is already beginning to enslave the working class.

I mean it’s fine for Ai Mi to look proud, but why does Xiong YaoYue look so happy while being ridden?

The worst part is Ai Mi became excited to the point where she began to spank Xiong YaoYue’s butt to make her faster. Xiong YaoYue, you’re wearing a skirt, are you not afraid of being exposed?

I said loudly for them to stop and grabbed Ai Mi by the waist to take her off Xiong YaoYue’s back.

Xiong YaoYue stood up indifferently and began to speak in defense of Ai Mi:

“We were bored, so we began playing rock paper scissors. We said if Miss Ai Mi loses, she would run a lap around the living room, and if I lost, I would draw on my face…”

“But Miss Ai Mi lost ten times in a row. She only ran the first lap, the remaining nine laps were resolved with Chairman Maos…”

A hundred dollar bills? So you would rather give away 900 instead of exercising?

“Hehe, I lost the eleventh time. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to wash marker off my face, so I was willing to act as a horse. It was pretty fun for both of us, so we played longer than we planned.”

“Ye Lin, don’t worry. It was actually good I got some exercise. Isn’t it almost time for lunch, now I can eat more.”
