Urban Most Awesome Dad

Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Leaving Rumors_1

“`

Xu Fan sat on the couch in the lobby of Xinghai Media, sipping tea while waiting for Xu Yixue to get off work.

Tongtong, curious, blew on the tea in front of her, and gently sucked a mouthful like a little fish in water. She was scalded instantly and cried out in alarm, “Wow, this water is so hot, Tongtong’s mouth hurts…”

Xu Fan, distressed, cradled Tongtong’s little head and carefully checked her lips. Since the water was just poured and was very hot, it wouldn’t scald Xu Fan’s body, which had been strengthened by the Pei Yuan Pill, but Tongtong was different. She saw Xu Fan enjoying the tea and naturally assumed the tea wasn’t hot at all. But when she took a sip, it almost made the little princess cry.

Seeing Tongtong’s big eyes were about to brim with tears, threatening to cause a flood disaster, Xu Fan quickly cradled her petite cheeks gently and placed two fingers at the edge of Tongtong’s lips, slowly infusing a strand of Ice-attribute Spiritual Energy into her mouth.

After the injection of Spiritual Energy, Tongtong felt the burning sensation in her mouth disappeared at once. Xu Fan’s Water-attribute Spiritual Energy not only had the effect of cooling and relieving the burn but also healing the injury. Under the rapid repair of the Spiritual Energy, Tongtong’s scalded oral cavity was almost healed completely within seconds.

“Eh, Daddy’s palm is so amazing, it stopped hurting after just a few rubs,” Tongtong pouted her small lips, happily speaking to Xu Fan.

“Here, let Daddy cool your tea down a bit. Next time you drink tea, you have to first test the temperature. You can’t just gulp it down like that, understand?” Xu Fan tenderly instructed his precious daughter and then took Tongtong’s cup. After the Water-attribute Spiritual Energy slowly circulated around inside the cup for a round, the temperature of the tea in the cup had already been reduced.

“Now try it again and see if the water is still hot,” Xu Fan said tenderly as he handed the cooled cup to Tongtong.

The clever Tongtong didn’t dare to drink down the tea in big gulps this time. She gently blew on the tea in the cup and then slowly tilted it, sipping a small mouthful.

“Oh, it’s really not hot anymore, Daddy is so amazing,” Tongtong said, swinging her head, her expression filled with happiness.

“Haha, drink up. You ate so much meat at lunch, tea will help cut the grease,” Xu Fan caressed Tongtong’s little head gently, feeling blissful himself.

The receptionist, witnessing the heartwarming scene between Xu Fan and Tongtong, suddenly felt a wave of warmth flood her heart.

It reminded her of her childhood when her father would stroke her head gently, patiently teaching her, “Jiajia, the food is hot; eat it slowly, okay?” “Jiajia, soda is too cold; drink it at room temperature, okay?”

Lost in thought, the receptionist’s gaze became dreamy.

As Xu Fan sat with Tongtong, it wasn’t long before he saw several people coming out of the elevator one after another, all carrying cardboard boxes filled with a variety of personal items, talking in low whispers and murmuring to each other as they walked.

“Haha, I’ve finally left this dump called Xinghai Media. It’s time for me to make big plans for the future…”

“Haha, with my skills, I should have been promoted long ago. If it weren’t for the decent pay at Xinghai Media, I would have left earlier. Staying until now, I’ve done right by Xinghai Media.”

“Brother Wang, those clients of mine were going to sign a contract with Xinghai in a few days. Now, should we…”

“`

“Xiao Li, don’t talk nonsense. This is not the place to speak!”

“Uh, right, right, sorry, my bad…”

“Haha, what’s there to be afraid of? Anyway, we’re no longer people of Xinghai Media; they can’t control us. We can say whatever we want…”

“Be careful, I’ve heard that President Xu has quite a bit of clout…”

“Psh, just a little girl, what can she do? If they made me the president of Xinghai Entertainment, maybe Xinghai Media would already be the dominant enterprise in Zhonghai City’s media industry now…”

“Pull the other one, you a president? Why not president of the country then…”

“Psh, don’t underestimate me. Xu Yixue is nothing but a pretty face—what ability could she have? Besides, who knows how she became president; maybe she got the position just by flaunting her face…”

“Damn, insider info, huh? What else do you know, share with us…”

“Yeah, President Xu… pfft, Xu Yixue, that woman, looks really hot. Could she have been ‘taken care of’ by someone from headquarters or something?”

“Haha, you’re out of the loop, man. You know about the young master of the Grand Qin Group in Zhonghai City, don’t you?”

“Psh, I thought you had some juicy gossip. The young master of Qin has visited the group several times already; even the cleaning lady knows this rich kid is after President Xu. But what’s the result? Still can’t get her…”

“Don’t you steal my thunder, let me finish, will you? Qin Haowen, the young master of Zhonghai City’s Grand Qin Group, was originally after our group’s President Xu… uh… Xu Yixue, but just a few days ago, a big shot showed up in Zhonghai City, also took an interest in Xu Yixue, having Qin Haowen lay the groundwork for him. It is said that even Qin Haowen is all respectful toward this guy. Tell me, doesn’t this guy have the qualifications to be Xu Yixue’s esteemed guest?”

“Damn, if even Qin Haowen, such a rich and powerful young master, has to be someone’s vanguard, how influential must that person be?”

“Haha, you bunch of frogs at the bottom of a well, don’t get it, do you? Yan Country is so big, you think Zhonghai City is all there is? This guy comes from the center of Yan Country, Dragon City. Ever heard of the four big families in Dragon City? Any one of those families is rich enough to rival countries, you know?”

“Are you saying that behind Xu Yixue, there actually stands one of the four great families? Then our betrayal of Xinghai Group won’t cause any trouble, right? Oh crap…”

“Relax, although the four big families are indeed powerful, that guy is only interested in Xu Yixue. At most, Xu Yixue could only become his plaything. Do you think Xu Yixue belongs to one of the four big families? If she really had that kind of power, Xinghai Group wouldn’t just be a third-rate company in Zhonghai City…”

“Is this info reliable? Why does it feel so far-fetched…”

“Nonsense! My cousin’s wife’s aunt’s third husband’s godson is a waiter at The Grand Qin Hotel. When that big shot visited, he was inside the private room and heard everything clearly. Besides, how often does a big young master like Qin Haowen humble himself before someone else? Apart from the four big families, who else could it be?”
