C20 It Seems like No One Cares!

Upon reflection, they were both divorced. Why should Su Xue care who Chen Qingchuan was with?

Despite this realization, Su Xue couldn't shake off a nagging sense of irritation. She just couldn't help feeling annoyed...

Huang Nini, with a determined tug, pulled Chen Qingchuan into the coffee shop. They found an empty table by the window, and after ordering two cups of coffee, Nini dove into conversation with Qingchuan.

"I've been thinking about it on my way here. Relying on flyers to attract active users just isn't feasible, so whether we print them or not is irrelevant. What's crucial is showing customers the tangible benefits; that's what will convince them to download our app."

"I did some research too. There's a promotion on our app right now: eggs are only 2 RMB per catty, while the market price is over 3 RMB. I plan to capitalize on this. We'll head to the vegetable market tomorrow, help the aunties install the app, and show them how much they can save on eggs!"

"These aunties love a good bargain. My mom's the same way; she'd skip a meal to get in line for a discount. It's as if they're getting something for nothing. So, when we promote at the market tomorrow, I'm sure plenty of aunties will be eager to install our app."

"Plus, the aunties aren't tech-savvy, so we can step in and help them out, even register for them. That's how we get our active users! With the daily foot traffic in the market easily hitting tens of thousands, reaching a mere 1,400 active users will be a breeze for us..."

Nini was brimming with enthusiasm and made a compelling case. It all sounded quite promising.

Chen Qingchuan, however, wasn't clear on the potential complications and frankly, couldn't be bothered to find out. To him, fussing over such a trivial matter like app promotion was hardly worth the mental effort. It would be selling his intellect short.

Yet there was Nini, undaunted and spirited, "What do you think? Isn't my plan just perfect?"

Chen Qingchuan nodded earnestly. "Perfect, absolutely perfect!"

Initially, Huang Nini was quite pleased with the compliment, but she soon realized that Chen Qingchuan's attention wasn't on her.

She followed his gaze out the window and saw a young woman in black stockings, sashaying her slender waist. It dawned on Huang Nini that Chen Qingchuan was admiring the young woman's perfect figure.

"Hey, I'm discussing something important with you, you..."

Huang Nini was about to voice her strong objection to Chen Qingchuan when she abruptly stopped, as if someone had gagged her.

In reality, no one had silenced her. It was the entrance of the young married woman, the one Chen Qingchuan had praised, accompanied by a tattooed man, that left her speechless.

The sight of the tattooed man ignited a fire in her eyes. She sprang to her feet, grabbed her coffee, and headed for the door.

The tattooed man was oblivious to her, his arm wrapped around the young woman's waist, his hand wandering restlessly.

In the midst of his enjoyment, a cup of coffee suddenly splashed across his face.

He erupted in rage, "Are you f*cking looking for trouble? Do you believe I could..."

He fell silent upon seeing Huang Nini. The tattooed man's earlier bravado vanished instantly.

The next moment, Huang Nini's hand swung out and delivered a resounding slap across the tattooed man's cheek.

"Faang Qiang, you told me you were out of town driving with a relative. Is this woman your relative, huh? How's the car handling?"

Faang Qiang, the tattooed man, looked extremely awkward. "Nini, listen to me, she and I are just..."

Huang Nini didn't let him finish, dismissing him with a wave of her hand. "No need for explanations. Who can't handle a little game?"

With that, she turned on her heel and strode towards Chen Qingchuan.

Approaching him, she said nothing as she lifted his face and planted a fierce kiss on his lips.

Chen Qingchuan was taken aback. He had been engrossed in the drama unfolding before him, and now, out of nowhere, he found himself unexpectedly in the middle of the action.

Without giving him a chance to react, Huang Nini wrapped her arms around his neck and settled onto his lap.

"Hubby, you were so fierce at the hotel just now. I really liked it..."

Chen Qingchuan took a sharp breath. How could things be handled this way?

He hadn't even tried to sow the seeds, yet trouble came knocking when he was merely collecting rent. What was this about? Did they think he had too much free time and decided to send trouble his way?

Sure enough, Faang Qiang came storming over to Chen Qingchuan, his tattooed arm exuding a menacing vibe.

Approaching, Faang Qiang pointed at Huang Nini and said, "Move. I don't want you to get splattered with blood when I hit him!"

But Huang Nini defiantly refused, "I won't move. You're so tough, Brother Qiang? Show me by making me bleed and splattering it on someone else!"

Faang Qiang was indeed about to strike, aiming to hit Huang Nini as well.

That couldn't happen. Chen Qingchuan quickly intervened, forcibly pushing Huang Nini aside.

Then he addressed Faang Qiang earnestly, "I can guess what's going on between you two. You're Huang Nini's boyfriend, aren't you?"

"Huang Nini saw you with that woman, and she's hurt and angry. She used me as a pawn to get back at you, but the truth is, we're not even friends, just coworkers. So, it's not right for you to take a swing at me."

Huang Nini was fuming at the sidelines, "Chen Qingchuan, you're such a wimp. He's about to hit you, and you're still trying to reason with him!"

Faang Qiang, quick to anger, exploded, "To hell with this. I'm going to finish you off today!"

With that, he swung his fist at Chen Qingchuan.

Alright, reasoning was off the table. Time to fight. But could Faang Qiang take a punch? After all, Chen Qingchuan was a mixed martial arts champion in college, so he had to hold back.

However, holding back proved futile. He was as gentle as he could manage, but within a minute, Faang Qiang was on the ground, convulsing, his shoes flung off. He tried to stand several times, but ultimately, he lay there like a lifeless dog.

Chen Qingchuan looked down at Faang Qiang sprawled on the ground with an innocent expression. "I tried to talk sense into you, but you insisted on getting physical. If you could've taken me down, that'd be one thing, but here you are, flat on the ground. What's the matter? You think you're a dog, finding it cool to lie down there?"

Faang Qiang was fuming, his rage barely keeping him upright as he forced himself to stand.

The next instant, he pointed at Chen Qingchuan with a menacing finger, looking like he was gearing up for a major showdown.

True to form, he bellowed with fury, "If you've got the guts, don't you move! You just wait for me!"

Chen Qingchuan couldn't help but stomp his foot at the so-called big move, which sent Faang Qiang scurrying out of the coffee shop like a terrified mouse.

To Chen Qingchuan, this guy was less significant than a fart, and at least a fart had some substance to it!

With Faang Qiang gone, the young woman didn't dare stick around either and rushed out in a panic.

Huang Nini didn't bother with her. She figured if a dog's determined to eat crap, it's not the crap's fault.

Recalling Faang Qiang's pitiful beating, Huang Nini felt a satisfying release of pent-up anger, leaving her feeling exhilarated.

She was grateful, though, and knew how to show appreciation. "Thanks for standing up for me. Consider that earlier kiss a pre-emptive reward!"

Chen Qingchuan rolled his eyes in response. "As if I'm craving it. Who knows where your mouth has been. Keep your kisses to yourself from now on!"

Huang Nini was taken aback, her face flushing crimson. "You're such a rogue!"
