Chapter 164 Assassin 6
The Bai family is quite simple, with a good family atmosphere. Ziyue felt very comfortable getting along with the Bai family and thought that she could have a long-term relationship with the Bai family in the future.
When Ziyue and Qingfu left, the trunk was filled with all sorts of fashionable clothes and jewelry that Bai's mother had prepared for her, as well as fruits, snacks, and desserts. In short, they had a very good haul.
On the fourth day, Qing Wanjun took Ziyue to the Qin family.
The Qin family has actually been declining in recent years. The old patriarch of the Qin family is an old-fashioned man who particularly hates the behavior of worshipping foreign things.
The Qin family mainly operates in the clothing industry, and also deals in fabrics, silks, and textiles.
The old man insisted on making traditional clothing, never touching the Western-style clothing industry, and never changing the design style of his clothes to follow the latest trends. Therefore, it was inevitable that some of his business would be taken away by other business owners.
The Qin family had four sons in total. The first two sons were born to the first wife, and the last two sons were born to the second wife.
They couldn't get along with each other and were wary of one another. The four brothers were all busy fighting for the family business, and the Qin family was truly declining year by year.
When Ziyue came to visit that day, she wasn't wearing Western clothes.
She was wearing a custom-made apricot-colored cheongsam.
After all, if she knowingly steps into the Qin family patriarch's sensitive spots, then she's just being irresponsible.
After all, she didn't come here to cause trouble.
So there's no need to deliberately wear a Western-style dress to attract attention.
Sure enough, when the old master of the Qin family saw Ziyue's clothes and demeanor, his face, which had been soured by his unfilial son, immediately softened considerably.
Even though Ziyue had studied abroad for several years, she didn't pick up the arrogance that many other students who had returned from studying abroad had. She didn't look down on some of the customs and culture in China, she didn't abandon her ancestral roots, and she didn't look down on this or that. When praising Ziyue to her father, he didn't hesitate at all, his eyes full of envy and a little jealousy.
How come other people's children are so outstanding and intelligent, while my own children have grown up to be such good-for-nothings?
Ugh!
He knew that many people called him old-fashioned and conservative.
He admitted that he had some outdated ideas, but he had held these beliefs his whole life, and he really couldn't accept the impact of so-called emerging ideas and cultures all at once.
Moreover, isn't there anything good about the culture passed down from our ancestors? Since it has been passed down for so many years, there must be a reason for it. A civilization that has been passed down for thousands of years naturally needs someone to continue to pass it on.
Ziyue could understand the old man of the Qin family's thoughts, but it was dangerous to be complacent and stick to the old ways. We should take the essence and discard the dross. We should inherit and carry forward the excellent culture, but we should also discard the dross in some traditional culture.
The impact of foreign ideas and cultures is an inevitable process in the continuous progress and development of society. Only by selectively absorbing, creatively integrating, pioneering and innovating, and keeping pace with the times can we remain invincible.
Ziyue didn't see the Qin family's four sons during her visit. Were they busy vying for power, or were they ignoring and disregarding Ziyue, the heir who was about to take over the family business? Or were they biding their time, not wanting to stand out, or were they simply stupid...?
A subtle, enigmatic smile flashed in Ziyue's eyes. Who knows?
After that, Qing's father took Ziyue to visit several other companies, which were basically industry leaders.
Her formal, polite, and respectful visit this time was a signal to outsiders that she was officially taking over the family business and entering their field of vision.
After making his rounds of visits and attending several banquets, Qing Wanjun began to hand over part of the family business to Ziyue.
To say that the Qing family owns businesses in every industry is an understatement; they have a foothold in every sector. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to own half of the shops on this street.
On his way home after inspecting the shops, Ziyue passed through a bustling street when Xiao Jiu'er gave him a warning: "Host, danger! There is a sniper and five other assassins."
Ziyue took out two pistols without making a sound. When the bullets came, she told the driver to lie down and then quickly got out of the car.
With Xiao Jiu'er as her strongest support, she quickly locked onto the target, wielding dual pistols with both her left and right hands, and hit the sniper in the next second.
These days, everyone is extremely sensitive to gunshots. As soon as a gunshot rings out, pedestrians on the street run in panic, looking for places to hide.
Unaffected, Ziyue, wielding dual pistols, quickly headshot the remaining few with Xiao Jiu'er's help.
Ziyue wore a moon-white cheongsam with a white fur shawl over it. Wielding two pistols, she walked slowly through the crowd, firing as she went. She stood out among the many people who were fleeing in panic.
Someone in the teahouse next door, who had witnessed the whole scene, stared intently at Ziyue.
From the moment he heard the gunshot to the moment he saw the little girl get out of the car, his heart seemed to skip a beat. His body instinctively moved his hand to the weapon at his waist, but when he saw the little girl wielding two guns, her delicate little face expressionless, she took down the sniper in the next second.
In the blink of an eye, the little girl had taken care of the remaining few people.
The chaotic scene on the street below didn't catch his eye. At this moment, all he could see was the little girl who was particularly attractive to him. He could clearly feel his heart beating faster and faster in his chest.
"Thump—thump—thump—"
Ziyue was about to go and check the identities of the assassins when, halfway there, she felt a burning gaze fixed on her.
She looked up, and what eyes they were!
His eyes were as black as ink, as deep and still as stagnant water, devoid of any light.
However, after the two looked at each other, Ziyue noticed a ripple in the eyes that were looking at her, drawing her gaze like a black hole.
The two stared at each other for an unknown amount of time—perhaps a long time, or perhaps only a breath—until Ziyue raised an eyebrow and gave him a big smile. Only then did the man seem to snap out of his daze and immediately look away.
"Tsk, interesting," Ziyue thought to herself.
