It's normal for a villain like me to subdue a corrupted female protagonist, right?

"You're welcome."

"do you know?"

Xu Mengzhu blinked her big eyes, looking at He Qinzhou with a look of reminiscence on her face.

“When I was a child, my father, Xu Bowen, was the strongest person in the world. He used his strength to protect my mother and me, to protect his comrades, and even to protect our country. I thought he would always be this strong.”

Then, Xu Mengzhu showed a pained expression: "But I didn't expect him to be so weak. That night, he locked himself up and wouldn't let anyone near him."

“I secretly went to take a look, only to find that my invincible father was so weak that he could only curl up in bed.”

"It was only after that I learned about his hidden injuries, which would flare up every now and then, causing him unbearable pain."

"Later, by chance, I learned that he needed 'cold lamp grass' to make medicine. I wanted to help him find it, but after many years, I found nothing."

"He Qinzhou... thank you."

Xu Mengzhu looked at He Qinzhou and smiled. She suddenly felt that the man in front of her was not as annoying as she had when they first met.

"Thank you for helping me fulfill my long-held wish."

"You're welcome."

He Qinzhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile. "Let me tell you a secret. It was actually your filial piety that moved Heaven, so God specially sent me to deliver medicine to you."

"Puch"

Xu Mengzhu immediately let out a silvery laugh, "You're so good at lying, aren't you good at winning girls' hearts?"

"Of course not, every word I said came from the bottom of my heart!"

"OK then."

After getting into the car, Xu Mengzhu rested her chin on her hands and gave He Qinzhou a flirtatious wink. "Since you're so good with words, I'll let bygones be bygones for your previous condition of joining the Chamber of Commerce. You can make me another condition now, how about it?"

"Would you agree to any condition?"

He Qinzhou stared intently at Xu Mengzhu, making her cheeks flush slightly.

"Of course!"

Xu Mengzhu didn't take it seriously and readily agreed, "As long as I can do it, I'll agree to anything you ask."

He Qinzhou pointed to his mouth and said, "Well... beautiful Miss Xu Mengzhu, would you be willing to give this gentleman in front of you a kiss?"

"You bastard, how could you make such a request!"

Xu Mengzhu stomped her feet in anger, "I'm canceling your wish-making qualification!"

"Oh, what does it matter? Aren't we already engaged?"

He Qinzhou said with some disappointment, "It seems that Miss Xu Mengzhu isn't the kind of person who keeps her word..."

Xu Mengzhu frowned. What did this guy mean?

How dare you say you don't keep your word!

Who is it that I am?

She was the eldest daughter of the Xu family!

Once a promise is made, it's like water spilled on the ground—it can never be taken back!

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and He Qinzhou felt a warm, moist sensation on his cheek.

He Qinzhou quickly looked towards the passenger seat, where Xu Mengzhu had already gotten out of the car and run away.

He smiled, a classic case of feigning indifference.

But I have to say, this woman's mouth is really soft!

Chapter 257: Anderson Auction

As soon as He Qinzhou returned to the He Group, Luo Xuewei immediately came to greet him.

"Qinzhou, you're amazing! The company's crisis has been resolved!"

Luo Xuewei looked at He Qinzhou with eyes full of admiration and respect.

"Ah."

He Qinzhou nodded, knowing that Xu Mengzhu had already given her a response.

They moved really fast!

Our company has joined the Northern United Chamber of Commerce. Send someone there to make contact. If we make good use of their resources, the company might just reach new heights.

"Ok."

Luo Xuewei's eyes gleamed with even greater admiration. "But those who terminated their contracts with us are in the meeting room downstairs. They want to apologize to you for what happened before. You see..."

"Ah!"

He Qinzhou sneered, knowing without a doubt why this group had come. "Do you think my He family can just terminate a contract or apologize whenever they want? A bunch of sycophants, let them wait!"

"Let them understand that neither the Southern War God nor my He family are people they can afford to offend!"

"understand!"

Luo Xuewei nodded, a cold glint in her eyes. "I will make them remember this lesson."

He Qinzhou looked at Luo Xuewei again; her belly was already quite noticeably protruding. A warm smile appeared on his lips.

"Weiwei, after you've finished dealing with these things, go home and rest during your pregnancy."

He Qinzhou said gently.

Hearing his words, Luo Xuewei felt a sweet warmth in her heart and did not refuse at all, "I'll do whatever you say."

After quickly finishing my work, I began my busy day.

After dinner, He Qinzhou returned to his room and took out the book from his pocket.

Seeking the Way of Martial Arts!

The book had an unremarkable title, but upon opening it, He Qinzhou discovered that its contents differed from other martial arts manuals he knew.

It was at least different from the Yin-Yang Killing Technique he possessed.

This book contains no practical combat techniques whatsoever, only a set of movements called "Hundred Refinements Technique," with incredibly strange postures.

Apart from that, they are all about natural laws such as "the waxing and waning of the sun and moon, and the arrangement of constellations at dawn and dusk" and insights into appreciating mountains and rivers.

The further he read, the less He Qinzhou understood things like "harmony between man and nature." He recognized each character individually, but couldn't comprehend them when put together.

He Qinzhou had a vague feeling that this book was more than just a martial arts manual.

There seems to be something deeper behind it, but he simply cannot comprehend it now.

After carefully memorizing the postures in the book, He Qinzhou began practicing.

"Fuck!"

The first position was almost unbearable for He Qinzhou; it was simply not a position that a human could do.

However, this difficulty did not deter He Qinzhou.

After gritting his teeth and finishing the set, He Qinzhou finally collapsed to the ground, feeling sore all over.

Suddenly, a warm current surged from He Qinzhou's lower abdomen and flowed to his limbs and bones, making him feel so comfortable that he almost groaned.

After getting up a while later, He Qinzhou found that he seemed to have more energy.

However, He Qinzhou still didn't care much about this book, after all, he had a system.

This manual is for my women to use.

Anyway, it was originally one of Xiao Tianze's cheat codes, so it shouldn't be too difficult for those female protagonists to learn it.

After finishing his boxing match, He Qinzhou took a shower and went straight to the company.

When she came in, Lin Wan'er handed He Qinzhou an invitation.

"Qinzhou, Anderson Auction House has sent you an invitation to attend their auction in a few days."

"Well, I see."

Regardless of the circumstances, given the size and influence of the He family, many people want to curry favor with them, not to mention that he has now become involved with the daughter of the Northern War God.

Just then, a phone call came in. Upon seeing the caller ID, He Qinzhou joked, "Beautiful Ms. Xu, how come you, such a busy person, have time to call me?"

"You're so glib!"

Xu Mengzhu said coquettishly, "I'm calling you this time because I have something important to discuss with you. Be serious."

"Okay okay."

He Qinzhou immediately raised his hands in surrender, saying, "President Xu, please give your orders."

"Did you receive an invitation today? About Anderson Auction House?"

He Qinzhou toyed with the invitation in his hand: "Indeed, is there anything special about this invitation?"

"Of course it's special. Don't you pay any attention to the auction house's news? The quality of the items at this auction is much higher than before, but the most important item is the final lot, the national treasure painting of the four seasons that has been lost to the world."

"A painting of the four seasons?"

Even He Qinzhou, who never paid attention to antiques, had heard of the famous Four Seasons Painting.

"But wasn't the Four Seasons Painting lost long ago?"

He Qinzhou asked in confusion.

"It has indeed been lost. There are four paintings in total, which were painted by Zhan Ziqian, a painter from the Sui Dynasty. They are now scattered abroad, and the one to be auctioned this time is the painting of walking in the snow, which symbolizes winter."

"So we're going to take a picture of this and bring it back?"

"Yes, my father called me specifically about this, and I hope... you can come with me."

Xu Mengzhu's tone was full of anticipation.

"no problem!"

He Qinzhou patted his chest and answered decisively.

This is a task that no Chinese person can refuse, and it's not at all because of the beautiful woman accompanying him!

"Ah."

Hearing that He Qinzhou agreed without hesitation, Xu Mengzhu was very happy. "Then you should get ready first, and come with me the day after tomorrow."

"Row."

at the same time.

On the other side of Kyoto.

Those around Xiao Tianze could sense that the God of War was not in a good mood these past few days.

Sending Shang Minghai, the Heavenly Star, to deal with the He family was thought to be a sure thing.

Before any results were even seen, the other party joined the Northern Union Chamber of Commerce and came under the protection of the Northern War God.

It's called shelter, but it's actually cooperation!

Xiao Tianze now needs to think twice before taking action against him, since a head-on confrontation between two behemoths would definitely result in heavy losses.

But who is Xiao Tianze?

He's a chosen one!

What angered Xiao Tianze even more was that the Northern War God had actually healed his hidden injuries!

Although the Northern War God's physical condition was well concealed.

However, Xiao Tianze was very skilled in medicine. He had deduced from the Northern War God's condition that the Northern War God must be suffering from a hidden injury, so he never took the Northern War God, his only open rival, seriously.

However, during a video conference with the God of War of the North a few days ago, Xiao Tianze noticed that the God of War of the North had a rosy complexion and was full of energy. Not only had his hidden injuries been healed, but his strength had also improved to a higher level.

This forced Xiao Tianze to make further preparations as a precaution, so as not to fall behind in the competition.

"Hmph! You can't even do something this simple right, what use are you to me?!"

Xiao Tianze snorted coldly, and Shang Minghai, who was a powerful figure in the business world, immediately knelt down.

"Your subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, sir."

Shang Minghai felt somewhat helpless, but he didn't try to defend himself.
