Leng Shaoting, however, put on an innocent face. He loosened his arms, and looked down at her saying in an aggrieved tone, “I just want to hug you, that’s it.”
Gu Ning was amused, but didn’t stop him from hugging her. She could use her Jade Eyes. If someone was coming, she would notice it first.
Leng Shaoting also stopped rubbing sexually against Gu Ning, because he knew that they were in a public place. After a while, Leng Shaoting let Gu Ning go and held her hand, walking to the tea table. He sat down and started to prepare cups of tea.
In fact, they could let a tea master prepare the tea for them, but Leng Shaoting chose to do the kung fu tea ceremony[1] himself.
“Oh, you know how to do the kung fu tea ceremony!” Gu Ning was surprised seeing Leng Shaoting’s skilled actions.
“Yeah, I learned it from my grandpa,” Leng Shaoting said.
Leng Shaoting prepared two cups of tea, and they began to enjoy it. A few minutes later, Gao Yi and the others arrived. Gu Ning told them the number of their tea room and told them to come over. Before long, they arrived and knocked on the door.
“Come in,” Gu Ning said. Gao Yi then pushed the door open walking inside, followed by Qiao Ya and Black Cat.
In order to not be recognized by those who was chasing him, Black Cat was wearing a black cap and mask.
“Boss!” Gao Yi and Qiao Ya greeted Gu Ning once they walked in.
Black Cat hadn’t asked Gao Yi whether his boss was a male or female, but he thought that the person must be an old and experienced person. When he followed Gao Yi and Qiao Ya stepping inside, he had no idea that the young girl was their boss. Although he couldn’t see Leng Shaoting’s face, he still sensed his air of pride and nobility. Black Cat understood that the young man wasn’t simple at all. To him however, Gu Ning looked just like a kind young girl who was stunning. Therefore, when he heard Gao Yi and Qiao Ya call her their boss, he was shocked.
In normal situations, most people would doubt Gu Ning, but Black Cat was different. He was astonished, but he never thought lightly of Gu Ning just because she was very young. On the contrary, Gu Ning left a deep impression on him since she was able to help Gao Yi and Qiao Ya.
Gao Yi and Qiao Ya weren’t ordinary people after all. If Gu Ning had the ability to get Gao Yi and Qiao Ya to work for her, she must be unusually smart and powerful.
Precisely because Gu Ning seemed like a normal young girl, he appreciated her more, because disguises were very important.
Black Cat took off his cap and mask at once before he greeted Gu Ning. “Miss, it’s very nice to meet you. My name’s Black Cat.”
“Nice to meet you too. Please have a seat,” Gu Ning said. She didn’t think that she was better than him, but she still had an air of power. In order to convince Black Cat to work for her, she had to show her ability and power.
Black Cat did feel her power, and held great respect for her.
They were all seated at the table, but Leng Shaoting never gave them a glance. Instead, he focused on the tea all the time.
“Mr. Leng, may I help?” Qiao Ya said. As Gu Ning’s subordinate, she couldn’t sit aside watching her boss’s boyfriend preparing tea for them. Qiao Ya was good at preparing tea as well.

“No need,” Leng Shaoting said.
Since he said that, Qiao Ya didn’t insist.
“The condition is very simple. You must work for me as a useful assistant. I won’t ask you to do illegal things. You just need to help me manage my companies and you’ll be paid according to your ability,” Gu Ning said.
“That simple?” Black Cat asked and couldn’t believe his ears. He felt like Gu Ning wasn’t settling a deal with him, but was helping him.
Not to mention the fact that he was still a killer being chased by other killers, such a good job was a very big favor for normal people. To be specific, Gu Ning saved his life and also offered him a great job! Even though he was confident that he could survive being chased, he still wanted to live a normal life.
Gu Ning smiled. “We value different things as the most important thing in our life. You want to get rid of the pursuers and live a normal life, while I needed a well-trained person to help me manage my company. We just cooperate to gain what we need.”
Gu Ning hit the point. However, even though Gu Ning had the intention to hire Black Cat, she wouldn’t force him if he declined her offer.
“Great, I’m willing to work for you,” Black Cat said. In his eyes, there was no reason to reject such a great offer. He was a man with a strong sense of loyalty, and he had been chased by the killer organization just because he found out some dirty secrets about it. If it hadn’t been for that, he would have been working as a professional killer as usual.
Gu Ning, however, didn’t end the deal right away, but added, “I also want your loyalty. You don’t need to die for me, but just do your job well. Stay loyal to me and never stab me in the back. I disliked threatening others, but I think it’s necessary to remind you that I hate betrayal the most. No matter who betrays me, he or she won’t die in peace.”
“Ningning, if he dares to betray you, I’ll kill him for you,” Leng Shaoting suddenly said with a serious expression.
Black Cat was scared, even Gao Yi and Qiao Ya felt stressed.
