Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

33. Zheng Qiudong after his release from prison

Ding!

With a soft whistle, the elevator doors slowly opened, and a man and a woman stepped out.

"Hello, Mr. Su!"

Good morning, President Su.

As the two walked through the office area, several male and female employees greeted them, their busy work revealing a sense of order and efficiency.

After walking through a long, secluded corridor, I arrived at the office with a "General Manager" sign hanging on it, and the door was just pushed open.

A tall woman with long black hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a white shirt and black skirt, came out carrying a stack of documents.

"Good morning, Mr. Su."

"This is Tao Huamei, my assistant, and this is Xiong Qingchun. Please process her onboarding in a moment."

Su Li gave the two a brief introduction and then pushed open the door to enter the office.

Xiong Qingchun shook hands with the female assistant behind him, his eyes simply scrutinizing her, thinking to himself, "Just like in the movies, most men like to have female assistants."

The woman in front of me was indeed quite good-looking, tall and with a beautiful and cheerful face. While she wasn't the kind of extremely alluring beauty, she possessed a kind of straightforwardness typical of northern women.

Tao Huamei had the same idea. Having first met her boss in the elevator a long time ago and then been tricked into sharing a bed with him, she knew very well that this was her boss's hobby no matter where they were.

"Miss Xiong, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Assistant Tao, let's have tea sometime."

Xiong Chun Chun walked into the office and noticed a pile of documents on the desk. Seeing Su Li point to them, she subconsciously asked, "These... are all for me?"

"You need to understand and remember these things. You don't want to be seen as a freeloader after you join the company, do you?"

Su Li looked at her and said teasingly.

Xiong Qingchun's lips twitched, and he chuckled, "How could that be? I'm definitely the kind of person who works hard to make big money for the boss."

"That's good. By the way... I've already contacted a brain cancer expert abroad for you. He's expected to arrive in Yanjing in about a week. He'll give you another check-up then to confirm the diagnosis completely before starting treatment."

"Also, you'll need a place to live since you'll be working in Yanjing. Tao Huamei's apartment is quite large; you can move in directly. I've already spoken to her about it..."

After Su Li finished speaking, he ignored her and waved his hand to signal her to leave.

Xiong Qingchun parted her cherry lips, her almond-shaped eyes swept over him, and she turned to walk outside. Just as she reached the door, she quickly returned, picked up the documents on the table, and then went out.

"Close the door..."

"Oh well."

As Xiong Qingchun stepped back, she gently pulled the door shut with her slender, beautiful legs.

……

Three years later, Beihai Prison.

Zheng Qiudong, carrying a large bag full of daily necessities, emerged from the slowly opening gate with a look of emotion on his face. The sky and white clouds outside were so beautiful, and the air was so fresh.

"Only those who have experienced imprisonment truly understand how precious freedom is."

Zheng Qiudong sighed as he walked out of the prison gate. A convoy of cars, all extremely rare luxury cars in China, lined the wide road.

A beautiful woman, arm in arm with a handsome young man beside her, waved and greeted him amidst a group of bodyguards scattered around.

"Yi Ren, Lao Su..."

Zheng Qiudong looked at the two of them as if he were in a dream. The last time he was arrested, it was the two of them who brought him here, and now that he's out, it's the two of them who are picking him up again.

His feelings were quite complicated. Although he was in prison, Zheng Qiudong knew that Su Li had done a lot to help him get a reduced sentence.

Su Li smiled and said, "You look much stronger. The prison food is quite nourishing."

Luo Yiren rolled her eyes at him and scolded, "No way, you've obviously gotten thinner."

"I was referring to your demeanor," Su Li said, looking at her old classmate who had become noticeably more composed. "What are your plans after you graduate?"

"Let's see how society is developing first. I've been inside for so many years, and some of my information is outdated."

As Zheng Qiudong spoke, his gaze fell upon a black sedan approaching from the distant highway.

"Looking for you?"

"Yes, it's a friend I met inside, and he wants me to do him a favor."

Su Li glanced meaningfully at the woman getting out of the car and nodded: "Go ahead, Yi Ren and I will wait for you here. We'll go to the hotel for dinner later to welcome you back and wash away any bad luck."

In the original novel, Zheng Qiudong obtained an ID card in the name of "Qin Fei" from Jina, a woman who got off the bus, and then began his spectacular journey of pretending to be an imposter.

He was curious to see if his old classmate would ever pull off another memorable scene like this; if he did, it would be quite interesting.

Luo Yiren tugged at his sleeve and asked worriedly, "The friends you met in prison, they won't be doing bad things again, will they?"

"Who knows? After all these years, neither you nor I know what changes have occurred in him. We've already done more than enough to help him."

"That's true..."

Women's hearts are fickle. Over the years, Luo Yiren's heart has been filled with Su Li's shadow, and she only reminisces about her old classmate.

After Zheng Qiudong finished talking with Jianna and obtained all the information, he went to the most luxurious hotel for dinner with Su Li.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was lively. Although it was a welcome dinner for him, Zheng Qiudong felt uncomfortable no matter how he ate.

Seeing his beloved goddess being so in sync and intimate with another boy, even he couldn't help but feel like crying.

After a satisfying meal, the three sat in a luxurious private tea room, gazing at the night view through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and discussed Zheng Qiudong's future development.

Luo Yiren offered to help, gently biting her cherry lips as she said, "If you want to find a job, you can come to Suyang. The company is expanding in all aspects and is developing in major cities, so we are short of manpower right now."

Zheng Qiudong understood what she meant. No matter what educational background someone has, many companies will not hire them if they have a criminal record, let alone someone who is just an ordinary college student.

He really wanted to agree, but looking at Su Li beside him, his male pride prevented Zheng Qiudong from losing his last shred of dignity.

"No rush. Let me travel around and see how things are developing in different industries first."

"Oh well!"

Luo Yiren didn't force her. She took out a bank card from her Chanel bag and placed it on the table, pressing it with her slender fingers.

"There's a million in here. You haven't had much money since you just got out, so spend what you need to spend..."

Zheng Qiudong fell silent again. One million was a terrifying sum. You have to understand that the master he met in prison didn't pay him much when he asked him for help.

Now, hearing Luo Yiren casually mention 100 million, he finally understood the gap between the two of them.

If we hadn't graduated from the same university and had a good relationship before, we would now be from completely different social classes.

"Thank you, Yiren, and thank you too, Lao Su."

"We're friends, so call me anytime if anything comes up. I won't disturb your rest this late."

Su Li walked over, patted him on the shoulder, took Luo Yiren's hand, and walked out of the room.
