Chapter 177 Return to Jiangshan
Arriving at the service room door, Qin Hao knocked.
Soon an attendant opened the door, "Hello, sir. What can I do for you?"
Qin Hao, "Do you have any fever-reducing medicine? My classmate has a fever."
"Just a moment, please."
After speaking, he turned and took a first-aid kit out of the service room and searched through it for a while, then handed a pill to him.
"Here's the fever-reducing medicine, give it to your classmate."
"Thank you."
Qin Hao returned to his seat with the pill, where Ning Yao sat listlessly, looking rather unwell.
Qin Hao spoke up, "Take the fever medicine first."
Ning Yao nodded slightly, took the mineral water, and swallowed the pill.
Seeing her condition, Qin Hao said, "Lie down and don't move, I'll give you acupuncture, it can help you recover faster."
Ning Yao nodded again, she no longer had the strength to ask why he knew how to perform acupuncture.
Qin Hao took out several silver needles and inserted them into acupuncture points on her head.
Your journey continues on empire
In fact, there are countless acupoints on the human body, but currently, medical science is not advanced enough to identify all of them.
And some faint and tiny acupoints remain unknown!
Sometimes, these faint and tiny acupoints can have a significant impact.
In just a few minutes, Ning Yao fell asleep lying there.
This was due to the acupuncture, Qin Hao deliberately made her sleep.
About half an hour later, Qin Hao finally put away the silver needles.
At five in the afternoon, the train arrived at the final station, Jiangshan Station.
Ning Yao was still asleep, even the loudspeaker announcements hadn't awakened her.
Qin Hao gently nudged her, "We've arrived home."
Ning Yao finally woke up, seeing people moving towards the exit, she came to her senses, "We've arrived at Jiangshan so soon?"
Qin Hao, "You've been asleep almost the whole way here, of course, it feels quick. How do you feel now? Better?"
Ning Yao nodded shyly, "Yeah, much better, my head doesn't hurt anymore."
Qin Hao, "That's good, let's get off then."
The two followed the crowd towards the exit. Along the way, Qin Hao's phone rang; it was Li Bao's call.
Li Bao asked, "Hao Bro, a train just arrived. Are you on it?"
Qin Hao, "Yeah, I'm heading out now, I'll be there shortly."
"Alright Hao Bro, I'm waiting at the exit."
...
Ning Yao looked at him, "A call from home?"
Qin Hao shook his head, "A friend's. He's coming to pick me up. Is anyone coming for you?"
Ning Yao said with a wry smile, "I'm from Xuan County, I still have an hour's ride."
"Oh, that far!"
They quickly made their way out of the station.
A group of people stood beside the exit, Li Bao at the front, followed by eight or nine men in black suits.
People around gave them a wide berth, they were quite noticeable.
Qin Hao didn't need to search; Li Bao was easy to spot because he stood out so much.
Can't this guy be a bit more low-profile.
Li Bao was staring at the exit, and upon seeing Qin Hao come out, he quickly approached, calling out loudly, "Hao Bro!"
Qin Hao didn't react. Ning Yao, hearing the shout, turned her head and saw Li Bao walking towards them.
She spoke up, "Qin Hao, did you not hear someone calling you?"
Qin Hao replied with puzzlement, "Did they? You must have heard wrong, let's hurry up and go."
After he finished speaking, he started to walk away, but Li Bao was a bit perplexed. Could it be that Hao didn't hear?
He trotted to catch up, coming in front of Qin Hao, "Hao, I'm right here."
Qin Hao gave him an incredulous look, as if speechless. With your group of people being so obvious, I'm not blind, how could I not see you?
Making a scene as if picking up a triad boss, how embarrassing!
Ning Yao looked over at Li Bao and his people, then gazed at Qin Hao, her eyes brimming with intense curiosity.
"Hao, is this lady your wife?" Li Bao curiously asked upon seeing the young and beautiful Ning Yao beside them.
Ning Yao's cheeks flushed upon hearing this.
Qin Hao felt a headache come on, "Don't talk nonsense, this is my university classmate Ning Yao, also from Jiangshan."
"Sorry about that," Li Bao said with an awkward laugh.
Qin Hao said, "Let's go, we'll talk about anything else back home."
A few people left the plaza and saw three Mercedes sedans parked by the roadside. Before Qin Hao and Li Bao got to them, someone ran over to open the car doors.
Qin Hao turned to see that Ning Yao hadn't left yet and spoke, "Find someone to take my classmate home. She's just had a fever, and I'm not at ease letting her go back alone."
Li Bao chuckled slyly, not his sister-in-law yet so concerned.
He quickly said to one of the drivers, "Send Miss... Miss Ning back home. Make sure to get her safely to her front door."
"Sure thing, Mr. Li."
Ning Yao hurriedly said, "No need, no need. I can go back by myself."
"It's fine, get in the car. These guys aren't bad people. My friend runs a security company. Let me know once you're home."
After finishing, Qin Hao felt a bit embarrassed.
Because these guys looked anything but friendly.
In the end, Ning Yao got into the car, and the Mercedes slowly drove away.
Once Ning Yao had left, Li Bao asked out of curiosity, "Hao, you haven't won her over yet?"
Qin Hao replied, "Won her over your head. Be careful about what you say in the future. If you really let your sister-in-law find out, you're done for!"
Li Bao asked, "Hao, where is sister-in-law from? Is she a rich heiress from Jianghai City?"
"No, she's from Jiangshan, the daughter of the president of ONO Cosmetics Group," Qin Hao replied as he got into the car.
Li Bao exclaimed, "ONO Group? That's a big corporation in Shuinan Province! Hao, you really are something else. That's no small feat."
Qin Hao didn't continue that topic. "How's your company doing?"
"Pretty good. Many residential complexes, factories, and office buildings use our security; competition is tough, though. It can't compare to your company."
Qin Hao advised, "Take it slow. Doing this is much better than messing with the wrong crowd. Avoid getting involved in that stuff; it's not good for you."
"Yeah, I know, Hao," as Li Bao's expression turned serious.
After that, he continued, "Now, most of the younger guys working for me are ex-servicemen, with a few from the special forces. They're very skilled."
Qin Hao nodded slightly, "Train them well, don't just stick to these low-end market tasks. You need to look ahead. The mid-to-high-end market tasks are where the real money is."
Li Bao nodded and chuckled, "Actually, there's something I was planning to discuss with you, Hao."
About ten minutes after driving away from the train station, Qin Hao saw a Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant in a plaza not far off.
The entrance to the duck restaurant was swamped with people, many lined up inside buying roasted duck.
Qin Hao told the driver, "Stop the car."
"What's up, Hao?" asked Li Bao, following his gaze.
Then he saw the Jiangshan Roasted Duck Restaurant.
Li Bao said, "Hao, you don't know. This past month, Jiangshan Roasted Duck has expanded aggressively. They already have dozens of stores. Keep going a bit further, and you'll see another Jiangshan Roasted Duck store."
"Let's go, take a look inside," Qin Hao decided to check it out.
