Chapter 34
A-Qi's Trap

Xiyang Cai put the money in his drawer after organizing all the accounts from the business deal he had negotiated all night. He then picked up the account sheets and stood up, saying, “Aqi, I’m done. I’m taking you to the Dasanyuan Restaurant for dinner.”

Aqi smiled and said, “Sure!”

She put on her headphones and walked out of the office. When she saw the owner of the business, she handed him the account sheets, saying, “Here are the accounts from last night. Please organize them.” Then she took Aqi out of the business.

The owner of the business opened the account sheets that Xiyang Cai gave him. He saw that Xiyang Cai had helped him negotiate a big deal last night and couldn’t stop smiling.

After losing his temper in the courtyard, Taizi Bing came to the Dasanyuan and found a seat to sit down.

Bagu, who was following Taizi Bing, also sat down and said, “Bing Ge, don’t be angry. It’s not good for your health. To make up for my mistake, your allowance for this month will be doubled.”

When Taizi Bing heard Bagu’s words, he immediately smiled happily and said, “Alright, I forgive you. But don’t eat with your hands again when I’m here. It’s stinky.”

Bagu smiled and said, “Alright, let’s order some food.”

Taizi Bing had just finished ordering when he saw Li Yu and Axiang walk in. He was afraid that the angry words he said in the morning had offended Li Yu, so he quickly smiled and said, “Yu Ye, you’re here too? I was rude this morning. Let’s eat together. Consider it my treat.”

Li Yu walked over with Axiang, smiling and saying, “Thank you. I won’t be polite then.” He then sat down with Axiang. Bagu dared not say anything.

Soon, all the dishes Taizi Bing ordered were served. The four of them ate happily and chatted with each other.

Xiyang Cai took Aqi to the Dasanyuan and asked the waiter to open a private room. Then the two of them followed the waiter into the private room.

Taizi Bing had just finished eating when he saw Xiyang Cai enter the private room with a beautiful woman. He angrily said, “Xiyang Cai, you bastard! You said you had no money when I asked you to pay back your debts, but now you’re here with a woman, enjoying the good life. How dare you!”

Bagu also said angrily, “Don’t think I’m a pushover just because I’m quiet. I’m going to go ask for my money now.” Then, Bagu and Taizi Bing got up and went to Xiyang Cai’s private room. Li Yu and Axiang also followed.

Xiyang Cai and Aqi entered the private room. He pulled out a chair for Aqi and said, “Feel free to order anything you want. You can order the signature dishes. They’re really good.”

Aqi nodded and said, “Then I’ll order those signature dishes.”

The waiter heard Aqi’s words and looked at Xiyang Cai. When he saw Xiyang Cai nodding, he left the room.

When Bagu and Taizi Bing saw the waiter leave, they pushed the door open and entered. Taizi Bing laughed loudly and said, “Xiyang Cai, it seems like you’re living well. You’re here with a beautiful woman, eating and drinking like a king. You’re living the good life!”

Xiyang Cai looked at Taizi Bing and Bagu in shock. Hearing Taizi Bing’s words, he said, “You two, what a coincidence.”

Bagu crossed her arms and said, “Of course it’s a coincidence. Why else would we be here? You know what we’re here for.”

Xiyang Cai quickly stood up and said, “I know, of course I know. It’s better to meet unexpectedly than to make an appointment. Come and eat with us. My treat.”

Li Yu stepped forward to help resolve the situation, saying, “Cai Ge, these two people came to me earlier. They want me to ask you if you can ship their goods earlier. They need them urgently.”

Bagu and Taizi Bing were immediately stunned and looked at Li Yu. After a while, Taizi Bing was the first to react and said, “Yes, you’ve been delaying the shipment, and we’re in a hurry. You need to hurry up when you go back.” He said the last part through gritted teeth.

Xiyang Cai also realized what was happening and said, “Bing Ge, it’s coming soon. Now that Li Vice Director has spoken, I’ll arrange it immediately when I get back.” After he said that, he noticed Li Yu’s gaze, wanting him to leave. He quickly pretended to have a stomachache and said, “I have a stomachache. I’ll go to the bathroom.” Then he walked out.

Li Yu said, “Qi Jie, we’ve disturbed your enjoyment. We’ll leave now.” Bagu and Taizi Bing heard Li Yu’s words and left the private room before Aqi could say anything.

Aqi smiled and said, “No, no, not at all. Since you are friends with Xiyang Cai, come and sit with us. Let’s have dinner together.”

Li Yu sat down with Axiang, saying, “Thank you. We won’t be polite.”

As soon as Taizi Bing and Bagu exited the door, they hurried over and grabbed Xiyang Cai, asking, “Xiyang Cai, how dare you try to run away?”

Xiyang Cai quickly said, “Bing Ge, I wasn’t trying to run away. I’m here to do business. If I succeed, I can pay back what I owe you. If you continue to disrupt things and I can’t make the deal, then I’ll have to pay you back later.”

Taizi Bing immediately said angrily, “Hey, hey, hey, are you threatening me?”

Xiyang Cai quickly flattered him, saying, “Of course not. I just want you two to help me out. That woman inside is very rich. If I can get her, I’ll pay you back immediately.”

Bagu laughed and said, “How rich is she?”

Xiyang Cai said proudly, “That woman has a car and a driver. What do you think, how rich is that?”

Taizi Bing said in surprise, “That is really rich. She’s one of the richest people in Xiguan. Alright, I’ll trust you one more time and help you out.”

Inside the private room, Aqi looked at Li Yu and Axiang and said, “I see you’re very familiar with Xiyang Cai. Do you do business together often?”

Axiang answered first, “No, we don’t do business together. But we’re neighbors, so we see each other often, and we’re quite familiar.”

Li Yu said, “Although we don’t do business together, he often needs my help.”

Aqi nodded and said, “I see.” With her keen intuition, she had already noticed that Xiyang Cai wasn’t a rich young master, but he had connections that could be used. Aqi had already made a plan to use Xiyang Cai.

Just then, Xiyang Cai entered the room with Bagu and Taizi Bing. Taizi Bing spoke first, saying, “Miss, we’re sorry about earlier. We were just in a hurry and wanted Cai Shao to ship the goods quickly, so we were a bit impatient.”

Xiyang Cai explained, “They’re just a little impatient, but they’re good people.”

Li Yu suppressed a smile and quickly picked up his teacup to drink tea as a cover.
