School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"No, no, we're doing this for your own good," Liu Bin hastily explained to Xiaohua, saying, "We're afraid Zhang Feng here might not be able to read the room, and what if he doesn't get your signals? What then?"

Xiaohua paused for a moment, awkwardly saying, "That... that doesn't need your help though."

"Indeed, Zhang Feng here finally caught on," Liu Bin chuckled.

Zhang Feng, standing nearby with a stern face, angrily said, "You bunch of bad friends, see how I will deal with you!"

Before Zhang Feng could come over, Liu Bin had already run off, leading the others as they vanished in the blink of an eye into the small woods. Zhang Feng's lips curled into a strange smile, and Xiaohua chuckled beside him, then said, "Your friends are really interesting."

"Yeah!" Zhang Feng nodded, saying, "Actually, we are all very good friends, like brothers!"

"It shows!" Xiaohua nodded, then said, "They all seem to care about you a lot. And, your relationship with them seems really good too."

"Yeah!" Zhang Feng nodded again, saying, "This time when I had troubles at home, it was they who helped me. If not for them, I probably couldn't even have made it to school."

"What happened to you?" Xiaohua asked, surprised.

"It was all due to the demolition issue at home," Zhang Feng sighed, saying, "The developer fought with people from our village, and I injured a few people, so I was detained by the police station. If they hadn't posted bail for me, I probably would still be in detention."

"Really?" Xiaohua asked anxiously, "Then... you're alright?"

"I'm fine," Zhang Feng shook his head.

Xiaohua was very concerned about whether Zhang Feng was injured. If Zhang Feng had been hurt, she would have been heartbroken. However, Xiaohua also indirectly learned about the financial situation of Zhang Feng's family. Although she always knew that Zhang Feng's family was not well-off, she hadn't realized his family was in such difficulties, unable to even afford the bail money, which his classmates paid – thirty thousand yuan.

However, Xiaohua soon realized that Zhang Feng was actually a hidden gem.

In a place like China, anyone associated with demolition either turns into a nouveau riche or makes a small fortune.

Despite being poor, Zhang Feng himself was not lacking; he was quite capable, and with his family having property and land up for demolition, he was bound to become a significant figure in the future. Thinking of this, Xiaohua was immensely excited.

A smile played at the corners of Xiaohua's mouth.

She grinned broadly, then said, "It's okay, things will get better. I believe in your abilities, and I also believe that you can definitely provide the life I want in the future. Right?"

"I will try my best," Zhang Feng nodded.

Xiaohua had feelings for Zhang Feng, but Xiaohua was also a woman at heart. Every woman has a vein of vanity. A woman with vanity certainly has certain material expectations. Zhang Feng's impoverished background initially made Xiaohua hesitant, but learning that his family was involved in a demolition project, she immediately threw herself wholeheartedly into supporting him.

However, these thoughts were likely known only to Xiaohua herself; nobody else knew what she was really thinking.

......

End of March.

Huihong Group's financial statement for the first quarter came out. It had turned its losses into profits.

Especially the AC Bags Company under Huihong Group, which achieved its first profitable month in this last half-year. Finally stepping out from the shadows of company betrayal. Yang Daguo, the General Manager responsible for this brand, personally came to Huihong Group to report on the work.

In the office, Li Xiaoya finally felt a weight lifted off her shoulders. These past months, she had been working day and night, visiting clients relentlessly. AC Company lost many loyal old clients to their competitors, which Li Xiaoya would not stand for. Therefore, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, Li Xiaoya almost tirelessly visited them, hoping to retain these loyal clients.

These clients were very important to Huihong Group. Now that they had been poached by competitors, Huihong Group was facing unprecedented losses. To keep these clients, Li Xiaoya fought a few impressive turnaround battles.

Especially the CEO from Armani Asia Company.

Li Xiaoya flew to Beijing City multiple times to negotiate, and the other party was moved by her sincere, unyielding spirit. They decided on the spot to cancel partnerships with any other bag companies, immediately signing a ten-million yuan mega deal with Li Xiaoya.

Not only that, including Coach, Hermès...several other major brands also switched sides from the competitive camp to Huihong Group's fold, entrusting all bag manufacturing to Huihong Group. Li Xiaoya's work integrity also resonated with many in the industry, quickly earning her numerous orders.

While it was not enough to propel Huihong Group to the top in the short term, from a long-term perspective, the help from these old clients indeed allowed Li Xiaoya to catch her breath. Particularly, their advanced payments helped stabilize Huihong Group's footing significantly.

"Director Li, we really owe Xiao Han a lot this time," Yang Daguo said excitedly, "Without Xiao Han, our company would have been in trouble.'

"Yes!" Li Xiaoya appeared somewhat tired, but the fatigue on her face could not hide her stunning beauty. Li Xiaoya wore a white suit, pinned with a brooch at the chest. Her delicate face and those expressive eyes seemed to speak. Her fine nose was very perky, and her cherry-like lips, unadorned with makeup, were naturally rosy and glossy.

Li Xiaoya's figure was extremely alluring, even though her child was already a year old. Her physique resembled a freshly ripened peach, tempting beyond measure. Any man in front of Li Xiaoya would likely feel a strong desire to rush towards her.

Yang Daguo had grown accustomed to Li Xiaoya's beauty and allure. He knew the distance between them, as well as the vast difference in their situations, and he always maintained self-awareness. Therefore, Yang Daguo never harbored any wild thoughts. Li Xiaoya glanced at Yang Daguo and said, "The company was able to come back from the dead this time, all thanks to Xiao Han. '

"Hmm!" Yang Daguo nodded, then said, "That's why I've decided to personally visit and thank Xiao Han."

"Never mind, I'll go instead," Li Xiaoya smiled and said, "Also, it seems our finances have improved a bit. The money we borrowed from Xiao Han can almost be partly repaid."

"Right!" Yang Daguo nodded and said, "We can pay back ten million. We'll return the remaining ten million in six months."

"That works. Xiao Han's card is still with me. Later, transfer ten million from the AC account to this one,'" Li Xiaoya smiled. "I'll give this card to Xiao Han afterward."

"Okay!" Yang Daguo nodded without hesitation.

After Yang Daguo left,

Li Xiaoya stood up from her chair; this time, they really owed Xiao Han. Without him, the company would have likely faced insurmountable difficulties. Under those circumstances, Xiao Han's funding was truly their last straw. Moreover, during Huihong Group's crisis, not only did no one help, but there were also those who bit back, making it even more challenging and dangerous for the group.

She had been busy from the end of last year until March this year, without even a single trip back home. Aside from a call with Xiao Han on New Year's Day, it seemed like there had been virtually no contact between them. Thus, Li Xiaoya felt very guilty.

She immediately entered the office's resting room, changed her clothes, and hurried out.

......

Shuimu University, at the end of school hours.

Xiao Han was about to walk to the classroom when suddenly a phone call disrupted his thoughts. Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Han couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart.

"Sis!" Xiao Han felt a spiritual reliance on Li Xiaoya.

"Xiao Han, where are you?" Li Xiaoya's tone was very relaxed.

From Li Xiaoya's tone, Xiao Han could tell she did not have anything urgent or important to talk about. He smiled and said, "Guess where I am?"

"You must be at school, right?" Li Xiaoya laughed.

"Hehe, I'm not at school, where else could I be?" Xiao Han laughed heartily and said, "Sis, where are you?"

"Then you guess where I am?" Li Xiaoya playfully countered Xiao Han's question.

Li Xiaoya's question stumped Xiao Han. At the end of school, where could Li Xiaoya possibly be? Given her character, she should be in the office at this hour. But since she asked this question, it probably meant that Li Xiaoya was not in the office, as there would be no point in asking otherwise.

After a moment, a smile formed on Li Xiaoya's lips. Xiao Han had not been able to answer her question—could this question have really stumped him?

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be on your way to see me, right?" Xiao Han laughed.

"What?" Li Xiaoya exclaimed, "How… how did you know?"

"Hehe…" Xiao Han chuckled.

Actually, guessing this was not difficult. Li Xiaoya had not contacted him for a long time. Since the company's troubles last year, after she contacted him once, there had been no further contact. She was always busy at work, especially after that incident, acting like a firefighter constantly putting out fires, hardly ever calling him. The only time was on New Year's Day.

Now, calling him with a relaxed and cheerful tone definitely meant the company had already overcome its troubles. Additionally, he heard noises in the background that seemed to come from inside a car. Xiao Han then boldly guessed that Li Xiaoya was coming to see him.

However, judging from Li Xiaoya's tone, it seemed he might really have guessed right.
