Qian Shanxue looked at Shen Qiang with astonished eyes, her mind somewhat hazed.

Once upon a time, in Qian Shanxue's eyes, Shen Qiang was just a somewhat mysterious subordinate with moderate cultivation but decent medical skills. Yet, in just half a year, while she was busy running around for her mission, this little subordinate had transformed into a man both domineering and wise.

This made her feel inexplicably a bit lost, yet also somewhat surprised.

What made her feel lost was that this subordinate, who once had no right to voice any opinions in front of her, was now seeing things from angles and depths that far surpassed her, at least in matters involving the Long Yan Sword Sect. With just a few sentences, Shen Qiang had guessed everything.

And what surprised her was

the current Shen Qiang, rising with the stance of a dominant overlord.

He was wise, intelligent, domineering, and decisive, not dragging his feet at all in dealing with the issues concerning the Long Yan Sword Sect.

"You guessed right, it really is the people from the Long Yan Sword Sect who commissioned me to talk to you about this matter," said Qian Shanxue.

Shen Qiang calmly raised an eyebrow, "You can reply to them that we have met, but unless they are willing to give me the Sect Validation and the Long Yan Sword as an apology, I will not negotiate with them."

Hearing this, Qian Shanxue was stunned, silent for a full five seconds. Then she said, "Are you joking? The Long Yan Sword and the Long Yan Sword Technique are the very foundation of the Long Yan Sword Sect. They could never give them to you."

Smiling and spreading his hands, Shen Qiang said with a smile, "Then there's no blame to you. You have already negotiated for them, but they cannot accept the price I asked, so you have done all you could. The Long Yan Sword Sect now owes you a favor."

Qian Shanxue was taken aback: "Owe me a favor? They asked me to help with something, but I didn't manage to do it, so why would they owe me a favor?"

Shen Qiang smiled and shook his head, "You should stick to fighting, political maneuvering really isn't your thing. They asked you to help, to talk to me, and you did that and got my response. You've done everything a middleman should do. Whether they accept it or not is their problem."

Qian Shanxue was silent, her eyes looking at Ali with surprise.

Then she noticed that Ali was staring at Shen Qiang with eyes full of excitement, her face flushed, seemingly lost in thought,

"Ali!" Qian Shanxue called out.

Ali suddenly snapped back to reality, then excitedly looked at Shen Qiang and said, "Hey, Shen Qiang, I never realized before just how amazing you are!"

Shen Qiang chuckled.

Ye Xiaolei, eyes bright, nervously clutched the corner of her clothes and said, "Yes, yes, Senior Shen is so amazing. These past few days, the forums have all been buzzing about you, it feels like Senior Shen is really incredible."

Shen Qiang laughed, "I am just me, a very simple ordinary person, I'm not that remarkable, still the same as before."

Glancing at Qian Shanxue who continued eating her breakfast devoutly, Shen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "You're always welcome to come to my house, to eat, chat, rest, it's all fine. Of course, there's one condition, you have to come through the door, and not suddenly appear at the window."

Hearing this, Ali and Ye Xiaolei immediately agreed, but Qian Shanxue, who was calm, unexpectedly blushed slightly.

Unfortunately, before Qian Shanxue could finish her breakfast,

Shen Qiang received a call from the beautiful lecturer Ju Yang: "Shen Qiang, come to the company quickly, there is an urgent matter, we need to meet and talk."

...

Half an hour later, after saying goodbye to Qian Shanxue, Ali, and Ye Xiaolei,

Shen Qiang, driving with Xiu Ju, headed straight for the pharmaceutical and health care product company.

He parked the car behind the company at the trial building.

Leading Xiu Ju upstairs, upon reaching the second floor, Shen Qiang immediately saw the beautiful lecturer Ju Yang, dressed in a white lab coat, discussing seriously with a female scholar.

"Ju Yang!"

Shen Qiang called out.

The beautiful teacher Ju Yang turned her head and, seeing Shen Qiang, immediately smiled, nodded to the female scholar, then came out.

Shen Qiang followed her into the office.

Xiu Ju stayed outside, refusing to come in no matter what.

This caused the beautiful lecturer Ju Yang to inexplicably blush.

As soon as they entered the office,

Shen Qiang immediately hugged her, causing her cheeks to blush even more, as she anxiously chided, "Stop it, there are people around, it's not good to be seen."

Shen Qiang laughed and held her tighter, saying, "No worries, I don't care."

The beautiful lecturer Ju Yang blushed and chided, "You might not care, but I do. It's embarrassing to be seen. Let go, I have important business to discuss with you."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Alright, I also have important business with you."

Saying this, Shen Qiang locked the office door from the inside.

He then drew the office's blinds.

As the office light dimmed noticeably, looking at Shen Qiang approaching her with a sunny smile, the beautiful teacher Ju Yang's face turned bright red.

Shen Qiang cornered her against the wall.

Placing his arms on the walls beside her, he smiled slightly and said, "I just missed you."

Hearing this, the beautiful teacher Ju Yang's face flushed to her neck, yet she still hurriedly said, "Shen Qiang, don't act recklessly…"

Almost at the same time, Shen Qiang tilted up her chin, not listening to what she was saying, and gently kissed her.

Afterward, she coyly looked at Shen Qiang, who was now calmly sitting in the chair, and pleaded, "What if someone comes by and sees us?"

Seeing her anxious and embarrassed expression, Shen Qiang just smiled,

because Shen Qiang knew, with Xiu Ju outside, there was no way anyone could barge in.

Dressed, he raised the blinds.

Sitting across the desk, Shen Qiang, with an exceptionally keen gaze, admired her fiery figure and her radiant, yet shy face, and lightly chuckled, "Alright, private matters are dealt with, now we can talk about official business. Tell me, what's so urgent that you had to call me here?"

Hearing this, the demeanor of the beautiful lecturer Ju Yang immediately became serious, she said, "Someone anonymously published a paper, revealing some of our Thermophilic Streptococcus clinical test data and assertively claimed that our Thermophilic Streptococcus would become unstable when in contact with E.coli. Now many experts, domestically and internationally, are criticizing us, and the Food and Drug Safety department is also demanding an explanation on why we failed to detect such a serious issue."
