Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 854 - 828: Who Really Has a Paranoid Personality?

When Chen Xiaoqian met Mr. Qio, she felt like a minor wizard meeting a major wizard.

Who would have thought that the world-renowned Mr. Qio would have such a personality? His attitude towards patients is even more extreme than Qian’s!

Even their expressions when talking about fleecing big sheep are so alike.

Mr. Liu stood on the side, looking at the profiles of Mr. Qio and Qian confronting each other, suddenly feeling they looked pretty similar.

It’s not about their looks, but the feeling; although Qian is relatively steady, Mr. Qio seems like a more pompous version of Qian.

Qian is at a loss dealing with people who are shameless; those who are reckless fear those who are shameless!

"I’m very satisfied with my current lifestyle and don’t want to change anything." Qian still refused. She secretly decided to tell Xiaoqiang that this Mr. Qio was instigating her to change men when she got back.

Hmph, let’s make the jealous king beat him up then! Beat him up to the point he can’t take care of himself!

"If you don’t experience it, you’ll never know what you really want. I can offer you more than you imagine."

"I refuse."

Mr. Liu was anxious at the side, wondering why this kid was so stubborn!

Although she also found Qio Yu Xuan pompous and unstable, if Qian could choose a good mentor, it would be beneficial for her entire career. Usually very clever, why was Qian so confused about this?

Mr. Liu was about to persuade Qian when the phone on her desk rang.

"Hello, this is Liu Linlin—what?" Mr. Liu looked very surprised.

Qian and Qio Yu Xuan stopped their conversation and simultaneously looked at Mr. Liu.

"Okay, we will send a student to participate—Chen Xiaoqian?" Mr. Liu looked at Qian.

Upon hearing her name, Qian pushed her glasses up.

What’s going on? Was she named?

"Okay, we will handle it appropriately." After hanging up, Mr. Liu looked puzzled.

"What’s wrong?" Qian asked.

"There’s a national competition for psychological counselors organized by the higher-ups, and they specifically requested you to participate."

"Me? Since when did I become so well-known that the higher-ups are aware?" Qian didn’t think she was that famous.

Qian always considered herself as quietly earning money and discreetly taking cases, so how was she specifically named to participate in some odd competition by the higher-ups?

"They said they watched the show of you negotiating in Q City a few years ago and wanted to see your progress over the years." Mr. Liu also found the matter rather sudden.

The competition had actually been notified by the higher-ups a long time ago. She had already reported several people, but today, the higher-ups called specifically asking for Qian to participate, which was a bit strange...

How long has it been since Qian’s rescue a few years ago, and how did she catch the attention of the leaders above? Even if they noticed, how did they know she is currently studying under her?

Qio Yu Xuan initially pondered, then came to a sudden realization.

"Can you repeat the organizer?" Qio Yu Xuan asked Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu repeated the organizer, and Mr. Qio thought it over in his mind and quickly analyzed the problem.

"In that competition, the little girl Qian rescued, her uncle is the sponsor of the competition. This time, it’s deliberate trouble." Qio Yu Xuan’s words caught Qian’s attention.

How was this guy so aware of her situation? And how quick was he to connect two unrelated matters?

She had forgotten about that incident from years ago. How did Mr. Qio know?

Back then, the one being held hostage happened to be her high school homeroom teacher’s child. The little girl had a habit of stealing, and Qian merely hinted without saving, and later, that child was unluckily abducted, which ended in a rescue by Qian and Yu Minglang.

She didn’t expect that a few years later, her uncle would have ulterior motives.

But more surprisingly, Mr. Qio seemed to thoroughly understand her affairs. Why was that?

Qian gave Qio Yu Xuan a scrutinizing look.

"Is their purpose just to cause trouble?" Mr. Liu immediately sensed it.

These visitors mean no good!

Qian’s personal information is kept confidential, and they couldn’t find anything. It’s possible that the high school teacher knew which school Qian attended and deliberately leaked it to her brother, who then used authority to intend to cause havoc.

"I remember her brother being just a laid-off worker?" Qian vaguely remembered the homeroom teacher had a poorly-off family and was still living in the school dormitory.

"Currently, we are in a phase of rapid economic development, and what lacks the least are new-rich. During your college years, her brother made money trading small goods, proving that wealth is barely related to intelligence; luck is much more crucial."

"A prosperous era indeed creates a group of suddenly rich people, but maintaining wealth requires brains. Judging by their foolish actions, I suspect they won’t stay rich for many years." Qian said disdainfully.

She wasn’t even going after those people, yet they were still scheming against her. Truly disgusting.

"You’re very thorough in everything you do, which is great, but sometimes not ruthless enough. Maybe your husband’s status makes you leave room when handling matters. I think you could be a bit more ruthless."

Qio Yu Xuan spoke not only of the teacher’s child incident but also the principal’s issue.

"Then what do you think should be done more ruthlessly?" Qian asked back.

"Why do they still bother you years later? It must be that the stealing habit of the child wasn’t addressed timely and got worse, and seeing their child in that state, the parents are distressed. Failed parents often have numerous objective excuses to justify themselves, especially preferring to misdirect the blame to others. Thus, such people should be driven insane from the start."

Crazy... Some message flashed in Qian’s mind, as her eyes had a drifting look towards Qio Yu Xuan, finding it hard to associate such harsh words with such a refined face.

"Punishing the wicked elevates the good. You handle one psychologically twisted teacher and save a group of students."

Qian’s first reaction was to turn to her teacher and said, "Teacher, don’t you think he has signs of a paranoid personality? How can you just let me learn from someone like him?"

Mr. Qio’s face was helpless; she really knew how to seize the opportunity!

While Qian and others analyzed the events, the homeroom teacher was conversing with her brother.

"Your niece got caught again and put into the detention center. This time it’s quite the end for her; caught stealing a phone from the store, what can we do... They say she’s going to be locked up for six months. You have to take charge for us two. Her dad and I are divorced now, and I’ve been raising her alone, but she’s never obedient and too rebellious!"

"Currently, the authorities are tight-lipped, even money can’t bail her out. Let her stay inside and receive re-education, you can also have a break."

"Sob, but I’m not convinced!" Having educated so many children, yet her own child turned out to be a problem teenager—it truly troubled her.

"I found out that your past student, Chen Xiaoqian, is now a psychological counselor. I’m already uniting with others to bring her down..."

"Her? What does she have to do with this?" The teacher stopped crying, recalling the days when Qian made her copy books.

She had a complicated mix of hate, fear, and indescribable feelings towards Qian because she felt guilty. Up to now, she did not dare to face Qian directly.

But despite this, the teacher didn’t think her daughter’s stealing habit was related to Qian. Why did her brother have to target Qian specifically?
