Chapter 549: As Worthy of You, Si Fuqing (1)

Translator: _Min

Si Fuqing, had never shown interest in the billion-dollar Great Xia porcelain vase. Could she really have conspired with a gang of criminals to steal a few antiques worth millions?

Gu Huiyan knew well that Si Fuqing was in need of money and loved it dearly.

However, a true gentleman seeks wealth in a proper manner.

He could hardly bear to see such accusations being made against Si Fuqing, and his gaze towards Qiao Qingshi turned even colder.

With Gu Huiyan’s words, the entire hall was stunned.

Qiao Qingshi, in particular, could hardly believe what he heard, his disbelief was palpable, “Director Gu?!”

In Gu Huiyan’s office, there stood a single vase, a treasure he had procured from an auction in the Western Continent Dukedom.

He never lent it out, not even to museums.

Everyone within the Heaven Earth Alliance was aware of how much Gu Huiyan cherished this vase.

Yet now, he declared his intention to gift the vase to Si Fuqing.

“She wouldn’t even accept it as a gift from me, so she would steal antiques worth millions?” Gu Huiyan said coldly, “Alright, you say she did this to get close to the Heaven Earth Alliance? Well, I’m right here, and I haven’t seen her attempting to cozy up. I’d actually welcome it if she did.”

This brought frustration to Gu Huiyan.

He had always been the one to refuse others.

Yet now, his plans to recruit a disciple were not going smoothly.

After inquiring with a few elders, he found that none had taken disciples.

Gu Huiyan was baffled, wondering which lucky old hag had managed to take Si Fuqing as a disciple.

He was green with envy.

Qiao Qingshi was at a loss for words, overwhelmed by disbelief.

Gu Huiyan was known to be amiable yet strict, accepting very few into his circle.

Qiao Qingshi had never seen Gu Huiyan be so close to anyone.

Qiao Qingshi’s face turned red with embarrassment, “Director, I…” Before he could finish, Gu Huiyan interrupted him with a raise of his hand.

“Which department are you from?” Gu Huiyan’s gaze was piercing, “I’m just wondering, where is your logical reasoning from? Since you’re so adept at reasoning, how about I write you a recommendation letter to join the Thousand Army Alliance?”

Qiao Qingshi, lips pressed together, his face flushed with discomfort.

He was both embarrassed and uncomfortable, his voice faint, “…Under

Manager Li.”

“Let your manager handle this matter. Don’t stand in front of me and be an eyesore, ” Gu Huiyan said, turning his attention to a staff member, “Come here, explain the situation to me again.” 𝚏𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝚋n𝐨𝘃𝗲l.𝐜𝐨m

The staffer hurriedly complied.

After listening, Gu Huiyan stroked his beard and muttered, “This young lady is truly hidden deep.”

Recently, antiques had indeed been stolen frequently.

He had been concerned about this, but to his surprise, Si Fuqing had directly dismantled a criminal gang.

He owed her a great thanks.

However, the real challenge was figuring out how to express his gratitude.

Discussing money seemed too vulgar.

Gu Huiyan went upstairs to ponder, leaving the people in the hall exchanging puzzled looks.

Qiao Qingshi remained standing, his face alternating between pale and flushed, looking like a palette of colors.

“Qiao Qingshi, you’re in trouble now,” a young person beside him shook their head, “How did you manage to run into the Director? We were just saying, she’s a star in the entertainment industry, probably earning tens of millions for a single movie. Why would she need to steal antiques and risk jail?”

“You’re too arrogant, and now, you’re likely not getting promoted this year. Don’t be fooled by Director Guts usual cheerful demeanor; when he’s truly angry, he’s much fiercer than the other directors.”

Qiao Qingshi remained silent, filled with regret.

“But why is Director Gu so supportive of this actress named Si Fuqing?” someone curiously asked, “Is she an art student?”

“No, I think she just went back to high school,” another person replied, “And remember, there were a few stars who specialized in classical dance? Director

Gu didn’t spare them a glance either.”

The group was baffled but dared not ask further.

Upstairs, Gu Huiyan was on the phone with the Thousand Army Alliance.

They had reported intercepting eight antiques destined for the Western

Continent, which would soon be delivered to the Heaven Earth Alliance. These antiques, stolen from local museums or through tomb raiding, were acquired through despicable means.

“These people, truly disloyal,” Gu Huiyan slammed the table in anger, “Daring to sell our Great Xia’s antiques abroad, and now I have to go retrieve them. Ridiculous!”

The middle-aged man nearby felt relieved, “Luckily, Miss Si took them down in time, otherwise, who knows how many more relics would have been stolen..”
