Chapter 871: Offending the Superior

Xie Jiuhan stood up and left. Feng Qing, who was hiding under the blanket, had her ears twitching non-stop. She quietly listened to the man’s footsteps as he left. Immediately after, the pleasant sound of an engine entered her ears. Then, Xie Jiuhan left the manor in a car. Feng Qing stretched her limbs out from under the blanket and stretched lazily. Then, she rolled over and entered the bathroom.

At the Sacred Island training base.

The annual Sacred Island assessment was about to start, and today was also the most lively day of the year on the Sacred Island. According to the rules of the assessment, as long as one was loyal to the Xie family to the death and was from the Xie family’s collateral family, they could participate regardless of gender or age. Moreover, there were many positions this time that were waiting for the loyalists and the Xie family’s collateral family. The assessment had more wolves than meat, and the competition was quite intense. Everyone had trained hard for a year in order to obtain good results today.

This year’s Sacred Island assessment was divided into two groups. There were individual and team competitions. The individual competition took up 40% of the individual’s total score. The team competition was a competition with five people in a group, and the results accounted for 60% of the individual’s total score. After two rounds of competition, the rankings would be based on the individual’s total score. The contestants could choose the position they wanted to take according to the final score.

As the president of the Xie Corporation, Xie Jiuhan and Xie Yuhuan had the right to arrange positions for the contestants they thought highly of. If there was any controversy in the arrangement of the positions, it would be changed to based on the individual’s total score. Therefore, in the annual assessment, not only was it a competition between the loyalists and the Xie family’s collateral relatives, but it was also a competition between Xie Jiuhan and Xie Yuhuan. It was a rearrangement of the forces in their hands.

Under the protection of more than a hundred bodyguards, Xie Jiuhan walked to the chairman’s seat on the viewing platform. It was the highest seat in the entire venue and also the seat that belonged to the head of the Xie family. With his appearance, the entire training ground instantly fell silent. Hundreds of loyalists and members of the Xie family stood up one after another and looked at this man with incomparable admiration. At this moment, Xie Jiuhan, who was sitting in the chairman’s seat, seemed to be emitting light from his entire body. Everyone looked at him with respect and longing. This man was their weathervane and their idol.

Xie Yuhuan was wearing a navy blue long cheongsam. It had a tight waist and a slit. She had a pair of red high heels on her feet and a very graceful sun hat on her head. After Xie Jiuhan sat down, she also walked elegantly towards the podium. At this moment, Xie Qi reached out and stopped her. Xie Qi said expressionlessly, “Old Madam, please move to the seat over there. The seat beside Ninth Master is reserved for Young Madam.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuhuan frowned. All these years, she had been sitting on the seat beside Xie Jiuhan and had always been on equal footing with that man. Why didn’t he let her sit on it today?

Xie Yuhuan said unhappily, “What about Qingqing?”

Xie Qi replied, “Young Madam is not feeling well and is resting in her room, so she won’t be watching today’s assessment.”

The corners of Xie Yuhuan’s mouth curled up. “Since Qingqing isn’t coming, won’t there be no one sitting beside Jiuhan? I’m already at this age and my eyesight has been blurry recently. I can sit in front and watch the assessment.”

As soon as these words were out, Xie Qi turned to look at a bodyguard beside him. The bodyguard immediately understood and walked over with a high-definition telescope. Xie Qi smiled and said, “Old Madam, you’re right. In order to take care of your eyes, we specially prepared a telescope for you this time. This is a high-definition military telescope. It’s definitely enough for you.”

......

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuhuan was so angry that her expression turned cold. She pointed at Xie Qi and said, “You!”

Without waiting for her to scold, Xie Qi smiled and said, “Old Madam, you should know the rules of the Xie Manor better than anyone. You have to respect the elders in the Xie family. Madam Qingqing is the madam of the Xie family and the wife of the president of the Xie Corporation. Even if she doesn’t come to watch the assessment, we have to respect the rules and keep a seat for her. Moreover, the seat on the right of Ninth Master is prepared for the madam of the Xie family. Therefore, even if no one is sitting, you can’t sit in that seat. Otherwise, it will be considered as offending your superiors!”

Xie Qi especially emphasized when he said the words ‘offending your superior’, but he had a very polite smile on his face. He would never forget the scene of him being slapped into a pig’s head by Xie Yuhuan.
