"The Black Gold Card is lost?"
"Probably not, I haven't heard her mention it."
"What's wrong?"
Xu Group, President's Office.
A deep voice exuded a commanding authority.
Having just finished several hours of a high-level meeting, Xu Zhecheng had not even had a chance to sip water when he received a call from a manager on duty at a subsidiary company.
Being sharp, he sensed something unusual.
Normally, these managers report issues through his office assistant, rarely contacting him directly.
"Here's the thing, just now, the madam's exclusive card was used at the restaurant. Upon inquiry, I found it was not the madam dining there, but an unfamiliar young man with the Black Gold Card."
The duty manager was very cautious with his words, simply stating the facts.
"A young man?"
Xu Zhecheng was somewhat puzzled, as his wife usually does not lend out the Black Gold Card, could it really be lost?
Thinking of this.
"Wait a moment, let me check on this." Xu Zhecheng hung up and took out his personal phone, preparing to call his wife to inquire about the situation.
Yet, he did not go down that line of thought, after all, his relationship with his wife was very strong.
Upon unlocking the phone screen, he found that his wife had called him several dozen times an hour ago.
He was in a meeting and missed them.
Connecting to his wife's call, he learned that their daughter had been attacked by a Commander-Level Fierce Beast. Xu Zhecheng instantly erupted into fury, like an enraged lion.
Only after hearing that their daughter was rescued and unharmed did he calm down.
After comforting his wife warmly, Xu Zhecheng asked about the Black Gold Card matter.
It turned out his wife had given the Black Gold Card to thank a Transcendent who had saved her.
Xu Zhecheng sighed, "You know, Xu Family members must repay kindness, no doubt, but giving out the Black Gold Card was a bit reckless."
"Besides Xu Family core members, and Xu Family allies, there is now an additional Black Gold Card holder, it's hard not to let one's imagination run wild."
"It's not just the Black Gold Card I gave away, I also promised five All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals. If you knew the person's identity, you'd know how worth it this is!"
On the other end of the line, his wife's mysterious voice came through.
This piqued Xu Zhecheng's interest: "Who is it?"
"I promised not to casually reveal anything about him."
"Not even to me?"
"If you have the skills, find out for yourself."
Suddenly, Xu Zhecheng's curiosity was stirred, and he quickly instructed the Zhongding Jade Banquet Hall duty manager to send the photo of the young diner over.
When the surveillance photo arrived.
Seeing the familiar face in the photo, an earth-shattering wave surged in Xu Zhecheng's heart, his eyes full of disbelief.
"How could it be him!?"
Indeed, it was Su Qi, whom Xu Zhecheng had always favored!
Back when Su Qi was making a name during his school years, Xu Zhecheng had extended an olive branch to him.
However, during the awakening ceremony, seeing Su Qi awaken a disappointing ability, he regretfully chose to give up.
Unexpectedly.
In just a few days.
Su Qi saved his daughter from a Commander-Level Fierce Beast!
Instantly.
Coupled with his wife's cryptic words, all kinds of possibilities bloomed in Xu Zhecheng's mind.
Finally, his gaze settled on a figure in his mind.
Pei Jing.
"Alright, this is turning all the conglomerates around his finger…" Xu Zhecheng squinted, as if understanding all the key points.
"Someone, get me five All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals immediately!"
Xu Zhecheng sprang up, wanting to personally thank the 'benefactor' and seize the opportunity to build a bond.
Just when he reached the office door, he stopped.
He was uncertain about some of Pei Jing and Su Qi's actions, guessing perhaps it was to hide his talent, and if so, rash solicitation might backfire.
With this thought.
Xu Zhecheng sat back down, dispatching others to take the five All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals over.
This way, things could be done quietly.
Avoiding offense and building a unique connection with Su Qi.
With the 'benefactor' layer, Su Qi presumably wouldn't be so guarded?
At Zhongding Jade Banquet Hall, after receiving instructions, the duty manager was tasked with stalling the young man for three minutes until someone came to handle it.
This led the duty manager and waiters to imagine a domestic drama, as if seeing Second Master Xu savagely confronting a mistress.
They hurried out to reassure the young man, "Sir, please wait a moment, since you have the Black Gold Card, our Zhongding Jade Banquet Hall will present you a gift shortly."
This left Su Qi momentarily puzzled, getting a gift just for dining?
Fortunately, Su Qi and Jiang Qingwei weren't in a hurry to leave.
After all, after this parting.
One never knows when they might meet again.
A plump middle-aged man, who had been observing this side, noticed the manager's and waiters' slight mocking expressions, and couldn't help wondering.
Could there be an issue with that card?
I said so, how could Zhongding Jade Banquet Hall's VIP card be the same as mine.
Thinking he'd see a spectacle, the plump man didn't rush to leave.
"Speaking of gifts, I also have one for you." Jiang Qingwei took a box out of her bag, its design simple and elegant, and handed it to Su Qi.
"Open it and see."
Su Qi paused, took the box, and opened the lid.
He was immediately dumbfounded.
Five pigeon egg-sized, glossy dark crystals were neatly arranged in the box.
All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals!
They were extremely precious. Su Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Qingwei, are you preparing a dowry for yourself ahead of time?"
"Hmph."
Even Jiang Qingwei, used to Su Qi's nonsense, blushed slightly at his words, the redness spreading to her ears in no time.
The innocent shyness left a trail of broken hearts among the males in the restaurant.
Originally, Su Qi was reluctant for their relationship to be entangled with too much interest, but this gift was too important to him.
With these five All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, once he gained an attack-type ability.
It would considerably enhance his efficiency in hunting Fierce Beasts in the Wilderness.
"Then I...accept it?" Su Qi deliberated for a moment, then accepted generously without pretense.
After all.
I, the Transmigrator, can repay such a favor doubly with my abilities in the future!
Jiang Qingwei's smile bloomed like a flower, knowing now that if Su Qi was so straightforward, there was no need to have prepared so many excuses.
The plump middle-aged man's jaw almost dropped in shock.
What kind of family background is this?
All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals are handed out so casually!?
And a whole five were given away.
He himself was a Transcendent, and every time these crystals appeared on the market, he had to go through quite a hassle to get them.
It was simply outrageous.
Before he recovered from the shock.
Three burly, imposing men in black, led by the eager-to-please manager, approached Su Qi's table directly.
Under the duty manager's astonished gaze.
One of the men in black produced a similarly designed box as the one on the table.
"Mr. Su, hello, thank you for saving our young lady. This is a small token of appreciation from the Xu Family, please do not refuse it."
After speaking.
The man in black opened the box, placing it in front of Su Qi.
Another five All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals!
This shocked not just others, but Jiang Qingwei and Su Qi as well.
Regaining his senses, Su Qi joked, "How did you manage to make your gift boxes so identical?"
Not afraid of identical gifts, just afraid of identical gift boxes.
Jiang Qingwei, slightly stunned, then gently nudged Su Qi under the table.
People took great care to choose them for goodness' sake.
The plump middle-aged man was thrown off balance, his expression changing, originally hoping to see this young man from the bottom strata embarrass himself.
Unexpectedly, the world seemed increasingly unfathomable.
The one at the bottom was himself!
He threw down a bank card in a fit of rage to settle the bill and stormed out in frustration.
"Not playing anymore, this world is too unfriendly to those at the bottom!"
