Chapter 209: Chapter 178: Silly Dou Jiao Meets Her Uncle (Please Subscribe!)_1
"Hehe, nice little boss, here, let big sis reward you with a kiss." Dou Jiao swooped in for a kiss on Tang Qing’s cheek after she finished speaking.
Feeling no obstacle from Tang Qing regarding her family background, Dou Jiao seemed to let loose. Being born in a family like hers, it’s destined that it’s really hard to make true friends besides those on the same social level. This was validated by her past twenty-odd years of life.
Among her previous friends, those of equal status were somehow better, but those who were not on the same social level would change as soon as they learned about her background. Even if they didn’t suck up or flatter, they couldn’t be as outspoken as they used to, and no amount of persuasion could change that.
Nevertheless, she wasn’t disappointed with Tang Qing’s behaviour.
However, if Dou Jiao knew that Tang Qing’s disinterest in her family background was not because of ’aloofness’, but because he thought her connections were useless and unprofitable, she might have different feelings.
Upon hearing Dou Jiao’s ’boastful rhetoric’, Tang Qing was startled. He was obviously being teased sexually. Although Dou Jiao was fast, Tang Qing was even faster (he is the little BOSS of Qingyan City) and swiftly dodged her advances.
Tang Qing stood aside helplessly and looked at Dou Jiao. It wasn’t that he was embarrassed, but... he certainly couldn’t let her take advantage.
Dou Jiao looked at Tang Qing running to one side in surprise and burst into laughter.
"Come on, let big sis kiss you. There’s no loss to you, why are you hiding?" Dou Jiao laughed and started to advise Tang Qing, who was adamantly refusing.
"Sister Jiaojiao, calm down, we are in public, you should maintain your image," said Tang Qing with a cough.
"I don’t care, you don’t let me kiss, I will insist on it." Dou Jiao boldly approached step by step. Tang Qing’s struggles sparked her competitive spirit, and her playful mood started escalating.
"A female hooligan, you won’t succeed." Seeing the devious spark in Dou Jiao’s eye, Tang Qing knew that she was messing around and decided to join the fun.
"Hehe, you just obediently surrender to me." Dou Jiao pounced on him.
At this point, the two female employees of Sky Eye and Sun Chao had turned their eyes elsewhere, pretending they didn’t know the two bosses. The situation attracted a lot of attention from the hotel guests in the lobby, but no one dared to intervene.
Seeing this, Tang Qing rushed into the elevator! Dou Jiao and a few others hurriedly followed.
In the elevator, under Tang Qing’s ’desperate resistance’, Dou Jiao did not succeed. Seeing Dou Jiao behaving like this, all Tang Qing could do was shake his head in disbelief. The two Sky Eye employees and Sun Chao closed their eyes and silently counted sheep, wanting to laugh but not daring to.
Upon reaching the eighth floor, Tang Qing quickly let go and ran out of the elevator, but had only run a few steps when he came to an abrupt halt. A figure caught his eye, leaving him stunned.
The figure only glanced warily at Tang Qing before entering a room.
At that moment, Dou Jiao chased up from behind. Seeing that Tang Qing was no longer running, she gave up on actually kissing him and just patted his shoulder, laughing, "Naughty little brother, is my kiss that scary? What were you staring at? What’s up there?"
"Ah, nothing, I just realized I don’t know where my room is." Tang Qing snapped back to reality and chuckled. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
Dou Jiao didn’t suspect a thing and said, "Oh, your room is next to mine. Let’s go to my room first, and I’ll tell you about the company."
"Okay." agreed Tang Qing
Then, Tang Qing followed Dou Jiao to her room. It was totally cluttered.
"Jiaojiao, shouldn’t you call room service, or at least tidy up yourself? Look at how messy your room is." Tang Qing joked.
"I don’t care about that, it’s easier to find things in a mess." Dou Jiao didn’t feel ashamed at all and carelessly moved the stuff from her bed to a chair, revealing a liberating messiness compared to the restraint she’s accustomed to from her family.
Tang Qing was speechless!
Afterwards, Dou Jiao wanted to discuss with Tang Qing about the contents of the meeting tomorrow, but seeing that Tang Qing was not in high spirits, she let him rest early. After all, it was normal to feel uncomfortable after drinking so much. As for Tang Qing, he just needed to say a few words at tomorrow’s meeting and then a raise of his hand to vote on the Board of Directors’ resolutions, and then he would be free of any duties.
...
After Dou Jiao left, Tang Qing locked the door from the inside, and lay on the bed with his hands under his head, falling into deep thought.
What he had just seen was not just anyone, it was his uncle Tang Kai, who had left home for many years and had been incommunicado.
Next month in the previous life, Uncle Tang Kai had dinner with their family, then hurriedly left. He did not hear from him ever again. Even though he had only met Tang Kai once, he could not easily forget his own family member.
That man was undoubtedly his Uncle, those eyes, that hair, and that scar on his face.
In the past, he had asked his parents why his uncle had left, where he had gone, and what he was doing. But Father Tang and Mother Tang never said, and would only superficially say that he had gone to a very far place. After Father Tang and Mother Tang had died in a car accident, it became even more impossible for him to know.
Why is Uncle here?
Why didn’t he go home to see his family after coming back?
What exactly does Uncle do? He is so mysterious.
His mind was full of questions that no one could answer.
Suddenly, Tang Qing sat up.
No, it’s not possible to figure this out here. He should take the initiative to strike. In his previous life, he always felt that his uncle seemed to be hiding something. Maybe it was an enemy? Or some unspeakable secret? Or did he do something illegal? Tang Qing even thought maybe his uncle was an assassin or a secret agent.
But no matter, whether his uncle was a good person, a bad person, or an assassin or secret agent, he would protect him first. He did not know when his uncle arrived in Province City in his previous life, or whether his uncle was dead or alive after leaving. But if his uncle ran into trouble here, he would be guilty for his lifetime. Having experienced the Butterfly Effect several times, he no longer blindly believed in his memories of his previous life.
Once decided, Tang Qing immediately got up and went to the living room of this large suite, moved the table, and cleared a space.
The next moment, a black ball appeared in Tang Qing’s hand. Although the room was very bright, this black ball did not reflect any light. It seemed as if any light that shone inside were absorbed. But he didn’t think too much about it. In the future world, there would be a kind of black paint that could basically absorb all of the lights shone onto it, making the object with contours seem flat, which was quite magical.
This time, Tang Qing did not exchange for new robots, but sent out the two robots who had become his dedicated instructors.
Five minutes later.
Two robots dressed in camouflage appeared in the living room of the suite. Because the living area and the transmission area were not close to each other, and there was no transmission plan before, they had to rush over in a hurry. This made Tang Qing realize a significant problem. If there was an emergency in the future, the distance from the living area to the transmission area was indeed a bit far. It seemed that he would need to keep some robots on stand-by in the transmission area just in case.
After they came out, the two robots each went their separate ways. As for the subsequent disguise, surveillance, tracking, and eavesdropping, the analysts had already drawn up a security plan and would command all of those. Tang Qing was not bothered.
Ever since he had carefully watched the security videos of the command room a few days ago, he had an immense respect for all the bodyguards who had carried out secret protection missions. These were truly strenuous and energy-consuming tasks. The ability was one aspect, whereas the key was patience and long-term psychological pressure.
First, they had to ensure discretion so that neither the target nor the masses would notice anything unusual. Second, they had to always keep an eye on the target and be ready to deal with unexpected situations at any time. Thankfully, these robots did not have various emotions. Otherwise, given this workload, it was questionable if anyone would be willing to do it even for an annual salary of two or three hundred thousand.
In the evening, Tang Qing did not go to the training area for target practice, but began to watch television in his room. However, he had no idea what the TV was showing.
Anxiety and worry lingered in his heart. He did not know whether he should approach Tang Kai, or tell his parents about this, or what he should do next after he returned home tomorrow afternoon. Countless questions swirled in his mind.
