School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

The atmosphere was tense with conflict.

At that moment, Tang Ming stood up, his face darkened. "It's one thing to talk, but insulting people is wrong!"

"Oh? You're taking her side?" Xiao Han sneered.

"She's my aunt!" Tang Ming retorted. "If I don't help her, should I help you?"

"Heh, so it's all in the family, huh?" Xiao Han laughed loudly. "Indeed, a whole family ganging up against Yang Lu, you guys are unbelievable."

From beginning to end, two middle-aged men didn't say a word. The eldest uncle and the second uncle. They both looked like they were henpecked. At this moment, they didn't even have the right to speak. Actually, they also wanted to help their niece, but they were afraid to speak, fearing that their wives would scold them.

"You!" Tang Ming's face turned furious.

At this moment, Li Dapang hurried over with his people. Li Dapang had been doing well lately, gaining both money and power. In the area near the school, many local thugs respected him as "Big Brother." Over time, Li Dapang had even become the top figure near the school. This was rather curious.

"Xiao Han, are you alright?" Li Dapang rushed in.

"I'm fine," Xiao Han shook his head.

"Damn, what's going on?" Li Dapang was out of breath, sweat on his brow. "I thought you were kidnapped."

"No!" Xiao Han shook his head. "It's just Yang Lu running into some trouble. Did you bring the money?"

"Got it right here!" Li Dapang quickly pulled out fifty thousand yuan from his bag and handed it to Xiao Han.

Piles of crisp bills, after being withdrawn from the ATM, Li Dapang had bundled them up neatly, ten thousand per bundle, making up fifty thousand in total. Xiao Han threw the money on the table. "Fifty thousand, count it. Take the money and scoot."

Second aunt was taken aback, glanced at the money on the table, hurried over, picked it up, flipped through it, and then pulled out a few bills to check their authenticity. Finally, she found that the money was real. This left the second aunt speechless.

"Really?" Great Aunt craned her neck and asked.

"Yes, it's real," Second Aunt nodded.

After that, Second Aunt handed Great Aunt twenty thousand. "This is the twenty thousand you lent to her family; I lent them thirty thousand."

"Took the money and still not leaving?" Xiao Han asked coldly.

The two sharp-tongued women glanced at Xiao Han, their expressions complicated. Indeed, no one expected this plainly dressed man to pull out fifty thousand yuan so decisively. He looked so ordinary, and his clothes were plain. How could he suddenly produce fifty thousand yuan? Although skeptical, the fifty thousand yuan was indeed right in front of them, leaving no room for doubt.

"Fine, there will come a time when you beg us," Second Aunt gritted her teeth, giving her husband a look.

"Then... we'll leave first," the middle-aged man quickly got up, his head bowed as he walked out; at this moment, he could no longer save face.

Later, several people left one after another. Tang Ming's face was very complex, but he was still pulled away by Great Aunt.

The room was left with Yang Lu and Xiao Han.

Wow!

Suddenly, Yang Lu burst into tears.

Perhaps only Yang Lu could understand this feeling. At her most difficult time, her relatives not only did not help her but also kicked her while she was down, pressuring her family and even forcing her to repay the debts. This bitterness and heartache, probably only Yang Lu could truly understand.

"Don't be sad," Xiao Han said softly, consoling her.

Yang Lu lay crying in Xiao Han's arms, unable to stop despite his consolations.

Xiao Han understood that Yang Lu had suppressed too much pain in her heart, and this pain continuously tormented her, making her feel wronged and miserable. Xiao Han held Yang Lu tightly, and her sobs gradually faded and eventually disappeared entirely.

"Xiao Han, am I useless?" Yang Lu looked up at Xiao Han, her eyes brimming with tears, looking pitiful and heartbreaking.

"No!" Xiao Han shook his head. "You're not."

"Then..." Yang Lu bit her red lips.

"It's because you're a girl," Xiao Han smiled. "Girls are naturally meant to be protected and guarded by boys."

"Xiao Han, can you protect me?" Yang Lu bit her red lips.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded. "I came to see you today to protect you."

"Ah?!" Yang Lu's face turned slightly red.

"Heh heh..." Xiao Han chuckled. "I'm planning to start a company, and I want you to help me manage it."

"Ah?" Yang Lu brightened up, "Really? What kind of company are you thinking of starting?"

"I want to start a technology company," Xiao Han smiled. "Focusing on electronic products. Like Apple's electronic products!"

"But, you have to get Apple's authorization for that!" Yang Lu looked troubled. "I heard it's very difficult to get Apple's dealership rights."

"It's okay," Xiao Han glanced at her and said, "I'll figure this out. Plus, I've already gotten the Apple agency rights."

"Really?" Yang Lu exclaimed, immediately delighted.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded and then added, "We're currently looking for a storefront. As soon as we find the right one, we'll start taking action."

"Have you found one yet?" Yang Lu asked curiously.

"Not yet," Xiao Han shook his head.

After all, he had only returned from Macau a couple of days ago. Moreover, where could one easily find the right storefront? Besides, Li Dapang was currently working hard at networking and registering the company. As long as the business permit and tax issues were sorted out, there would basically be no problem.

"I actually know of a suitable place," Yang Lu said hastily.

"Tell me!" Xiao Han urged.

"Right at the entrance of the pedestrian street, there's a store of over a hundred square meters. The owner is a friend of mine," Yang Lu explained. "He's planning to transfer the store. If we could take over, it might be in a really good location."

"Are you talking about that fast-food restaurant?" Xiao Han asked.

"Yes!" Yang Lu nodded.

"That location is indeed good," Xiao Han nodded and said, "Then ask them about the transfer price for me and let me know later. If the price is right, we'll take it over."

"Sure!" Yang Lu nodded.

"Lulu, from now on, you are the general manager of my company," Xiao Han smiled. "How about that?"

"Really?" Yang Lu asked in disbelief.

Before, she was an unemployed vagrant, and now suddenly she had become a general manager.

"Yes," Xiao Han nodded and said, "We haven't started business yet. Temporarily, the salary is eight thousand a month. Is that enough?"

"That's enough, more than enough!" Yang Lu nodded eagerly.

For a third-tier city like hers, eight thousand was a lot. That she could earn such an amount was entirely because Xiao Han was looking out for her. Otherwise, where could she earn so much? Yang Lu looked at Xiao Han gratefully and added, "How about this, you pay me four thousand a month, and the other four thousand can be considered a loan repayment."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"No need!" Xiao Han shook his head and said, "I plan to hire you for twelve thousand. The remaining four thousand can be considered as you slowly repaying me."

"Xiao Han, that's not right!" Yang Lu said awkwardly, "The salary is too high."

"I think it's appropriate," Xiao Han stated.

"Well, okay then," Yang Lu nodded.

After reassuring Yang Lu, Xiao Han and Li Dapang left. Yang Lu went out late at night to meet her friend about the transfer of the storefront. She had to negotiate in person. If she could make a deal, Xiao Han's business was sure to take off.

Leaving the Yang Family home.

Li Dapang drove Xiao Han home.

"Do you think Yang Lu is reliable?" Li Dapang asked.

"Why do you ask?" Xiao Han looked at Li Dapang curiously, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Li Dapang chuckled and then said, "I always feel that she's a woman after all. Can she manage a job like this?"

"Why not?" Xiao Han laughed and then said, "Don't underestimate women. Besides, Yang Lu is a trustworthy woman. Since I've employed her, I absolutely won't doubt her. As the saying goes, 'Do not employ those you distrust, and do not distrust those you employ.'

"Okay, whatever you say!" Li Dapang laughed helplessly.

Xiao Han shuddered, turned to look at Li Dapang, and said, "Big Fatty, you can't think like that. We're the best of brothers and should be the most trusting partners. How can you say something like that?"

"Xiao Han, I didn't mean anything by it!" Li Dapang chuckled and said, "I just think a person's ability doesn't relate to their appearance. Although Yang Lu is beautiful, we don't know her capabilities yet. And here we are, rashly employing her. Don't you think that's a bad thing? What if something goes wrong?"

"I understand what you mean!" Xiao Han looked at Li Dapang and said, "Someone who's so devoted and dutiful to her mother—do you think she would be inadequate? Even if Yang Lu's skills are not great, her character shouldn't be flawed. Right now, we don't need someone very skilled, but someone with good character. As the company is in its early stages, it largely depends on Apple product sales.

Apple's popularity is unquestionable, so she just needs to watch over the store. That's why we need integrity, understand?"

"Oh!" Li Dapang nodded, not entirely getting it.

Xiao Han patted Li Dapang on the shoulder and then said, "So, don't worry too much. Since I've employed Yang Lu, it means I have my own intentions!"

"Alright," Li Dapang smiled, and said, "Xiao Han, you have a sharp mind, while mine is blunt."

"Haha…" Seeing that the tension between them had passed, Xiao Han laughed heartily.

......

Xiao Han went home.

Aunt Zhang was at home, deep in conversation with his mother. They were sitting by the stove, whispering, apparently discussing something.
