善良的秘书

This scene made everyone present tremble violently in their gaze!

What\'s going on?

Could it be that Qin Jiang was really Miss Zhang\'s esteemed guest?

Especially Qin Xiao, who felt as though someone had slapped him hard across the face!

His cheeks burned with pain!

At first, he thought the esteemed guest Zhang Shuqing mentioned was himself, it could only be him!

But when he went up to offer a toast, Zhang Shuqing had outright mocked him, making him lose face all the way home!

What was even more unacceptable to him was... the esteemed guest Zhang Shuqing mentioned was Qin Jiang? This huge contrast made it impossible for him to accept!

Qin Jiang, with an indifferent look in his eyes, only raised his glass slightly and clinked it gently against hers upon seeing Zhang Shuqing\'s sincere face.

The Xu Family were stunned. When did Qin Jiang start associating with the daughter of the city\'s top official?

And, the city\'s top official\'s daughter was actually so polite to Qin Jiang?

"Sir, thank you for helping us before. I misunderstood you earlier, and here, I apologize to you," Zhang Shuqing hurriedly said.

Qin Jiang nodded and replied, "I know, it\'s a trifling matter. I never took it to heart."

"That\'s good, that\'s good," Zhang Shuqing let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then..."

Before she could continue, Qin Jiang interrupted her, "Let\'s discuss any matters later."

"Okay." Seeing that Qin Jiang said so, Zhang Shuqing swallowed the words she was about to say.

"Then, I\'ll take my leave."

Having said that, Zhang Shuqing gave everyone a slight smile and left the place.

Qin Xiao stood there, still in a daze.

Qin Jiang smiled lightly and said, "Everyone, please order your meals. Cousin, it\'s rare that I have the chance to treat you and it\'s on the house, you as the boss\'s esteemed guest should order more of what you haven\'t tried before. After all, you won\'t have this chance again."

Hearing Qin Jiang\'s mockery, Qin Xiao\'s face burned even more, and the strange looks from the Xu family made him wish he could crawl into a hole!

"Hmph! Who are you trying to impress?" Qin Xiao said, unable to hide his resentment, "Do you know who that was just now? The precious daughter of the city\'s top official! I don\'t know what small favor you did for Miss Zhang that got you this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to dine here."

"But... how dare you speak to the city\'s top official\'s daughter with that attitude? You\'re done for. She gave you a little face and you\'re already overstepping your bounds, completely ignorant of what is good for you, heh!"

Liu Ya also asked, "Yeah, Qin Jiang, how do you know Miss Zhang?"

Qin Jiang casually said, "I just helped with an insignificant little matter."

As he saw it.

It indeed was just an insignificant matter, and even now, upon learning that the person he saved that day was the current city leader of Jiangcheng City, there was no great shock in his heart.

Previously, when he was in prison, he didn\'t know how many powerful figures from outside sought his medical expertise. People of the caliber like a city leader were not uncommon!

There were even those of higher status!

However.

His casual and light-hearted demeanor led everyone to believe that Qin Jiang really just helped with a little favor.

Considering his attitude towards Zhang Shuqing just now, Liu Ya frowned and said, "Qin Jiang, what should I say about you? Can\'t you change that bad temper of yours?"

"You did a small favor for Miss Zhang, and she thanked you out of her good manners! And what about you? You rely on a small kindness and are so rude to Miss Zhang!"

"Even if Miss Zhang doesn\'t say it, she has probably already blacklisted you in her heart!"

She wore a look of pity and reproach, seeing it as an opportunity to ingratiate themselves with Miss Zhang, yet because of Qin Jiang\'s attitude, the matter was spoiled.

Qin Xiao scoffed, "Probably just now he didn\'t know the identity of Miss Zhang, thinking that she was just some ordinary owner, so he wanted to put on airs!"

"Now, I bet he\'s regretting it to death, huh?"

```

"Miss Zhang is not someone you can mingle with. This time might be your only chance to come into contact with her, and look at you, missing the opportunity to play it cool!"

He looked delighted by the misfortune.

Qin Jiang responded indifferently, "Sorry to disappoint you, but you\'re overthinking it. I don\'t need to grovel before someone like you do the moment you meet them. So what if she\'s the mayor\'s daughter?"

"Stubborn till the end!" Qin Xiao\'s face darkened with contempt as he sneered, "Now that you know you don\'t stand a chance to suck up to her, you pretend to be above it all. Otherwise, given the chance, you would definitely be rushing to grovel!"

"Is that so?"

Qin Jiang frowned. "Let\'s make a bet, then. She will certainly ask me for a favor later. Do you believe it?"

What?

Qin Xiao and the Xu family members were taken aback upon hearing this.

Miss Zhang asking Qin Jiang for a favor?

What a joke!

"Hahaha—" Qin Xiao laughed in disdain. "Such a pretender, hilarious! Fine, I\'ll take your bet. But what do you have to bet with?"

"What makes you think you\'re qualified to bet with me?"

Qin Jiang replied coldly, "If I win, I want the Tianyuan Wanshan Map that Grandpa left behind!"

The Crazy Old Man had told him there was a great secret within the Tianyuan Wanshan Map of the Qin family.

If given the chance, he must acquire it.

Qin Xiao laughed mockingly, "Alright! But what if you lose? If you lose, you kneel down and apologize to me in front of everyone. How about that?"

Qin Xiao provoked, "If you\'re so confident, surely you wouldn\'t be afraid to take this bet, right?"

Xu Muge frowned, "Qin Xiao, your terms are too humiliating!"

Qin Xiao waved his hand dismissively, "Muge, stay out of this! I want to see if he\'s got the nerve. Since he dares to act all high and mighty, then he should be prepared for the consequences!"

"You..." Xu Muge wanted to say something, but Qin Jiang simply nodded, "Agreed!"

Xu Muge was at a loss for words and glanced at Qin Jiang. "Qin Jiang, don\'t be reckless. What if you lose?"

"I won\'t lose," Qin Jiang said calmly.

Initially, when he was at Hundred Herbs Hall, he had already discovered that Zhang Haosheng was severely ill, with not much time left.

His intervention at the time was merely a temporary fix. To cure Zhang Haosheng completely, he would have to intervene again. From Zhang Shuqing\'s demeanor earlier, he had concluded that she indeed wanted his help to treat and save someone.

Xu Muge felt helpless. How could Qin Jiang be so confident over a minor favor he had done?

Qin Xiao smiled coldly and immediately took out his phone, sending a message to a fair-weather friend.

He asked him to bring some people to watch Qin Jiang outside. If Qin Jiang refused to honor their bet, he would immediately have people force Qin Jiang to kneel to him.

Qin Xiao smirked silently, looking forward to seeing Qin Jiang humiliated when they left. If he could make Qin Jiang kneel on the spot, it would undoubtedly damage Qin Jiang\'s image in Xu Muge\'s heart. After that, would Xu Muge still like such a boastful and incompetent coward?

He gleefully anticipated the scene, as if he could already see it unfold.

Soon, the table was quickly set with dishes.

Zhang Shuqing also had someone bring two bottles of expensive wine, worth hundreds of thousands each.

This made the others at the table sigh with astonishment—it was indeed befitting of the mayor\'s daughter to be so generous!

Qin Xiao immediately invited, "Everyone, start eating. Don\'t be polite with me!"

As Qin Xiao spoke, Qin Jiang furrowed his brows and then gestured to Zeng Liu, who had followed him in, "Tell Miss Zhang that Mr. Qin here is hosting, so he should pay the bill."

As soon as Qin Jiang spoke, Zeng Liu, shrewd as he was, immediately understood. "Sir, understood!"

Qin Xiao\'s face dropped instantly. "Qin Jiang, what the hell do you mean?"

His eyelids twitched violently. This meal wasn\'t cheap...

Qin Jiang sneered, "Since you\'ve already assumed the role of the host, I\'m just giving you a chance. What\'s the matter, can\'t afford to host? Don\'t want to play the part anymore?"
