Chapter 220: Breaking Up

Shi Xiao had been trying to get in touch with the Organization. She knew they had incredible support behind. If she could enter the organization, she might have a chance to change her life around.
Although He Bei treated her very well, he was but a minor policeman. He wasn’t earning a lot and he would leave for work early and return late. It wasn’t uncommon for him to be gone for up to a week.
Shi Xiao wanted a luxurious life. She wanted everything that Qin Yu had — a luxury car, a rich husband, a noble identity..
These were all things that He Bei could not give her.
What was the use of being gentle and considerate? She did not lack men to please her.
Shi Xiao made up her mind to leave.
The organization said that they could give her a chance. If she performed well, she could receive 200 million dollars in compensation, per mission.
Shi Xiao finally understood where her father’s money had come from.
Other than the inheritance left by Qin Yu’s parents, the large sum of money invested in Shi Yong’s company during the initial stages all came from the Organization.
A little mission and she’d be 200 million dollars richer. This was something He Bei could never earn even if he worked hard all his life!
Shi Xiao was moved.
Looking at the gentle and considerate man in front of her, Shi Xiao felt a little sad, but she was still very determined. She shook her head and said, “I don’t need that, He Bei. I’ve thought it through. I don’t like you that much. Let’s break up.”
He Bei couldn’t believe what he just heard.
It was not until he recovered that he smiled in disbelief. “Xiaoxiao, are you kidding me?”
“I’m not kidding!” Shi Xiao shouted impatiently. “You can’t give me what I want. I want to buy the most expensive bag, I want to buy the most expensive perfume, and I want to take a cruise around the world. Can you give me these?”
He Bei was at a loss. He said in a flustered tone, “I, I will work hard. Don’t worry, Xiaoxiao. I will work hard and one day I will get promoted...”
“Even if you work all your life, you will still be a policeman!” Shi Xiao slapped He Bei’s hand away. “I don’t want to be a policeman’s wife!”
She wanted to be a rich lady. She wanted to live a life better than Qin Yu’s!
Shi Xiao slammed the door and left, leaving He Bei, who was still stuck in a daze.
Shi Xiao left with all of her belongings. He Bei felt a huge void in his heart. He squatted down sadly and held his head in frustration.
After a long while, the man began to weep.
“Xiaoxiao... Don’t leave me... I love you so much... I really do love you...”
He Bei, who was in a relationship for the first time, felt as if the entire world had collapsed. Shi Xiao was gone, as if his faith in life had also disappeared.
Shi Xiao walked out of the residential area and turned around. The building where she and He Bei had lived in the distance seemed a little distant.
She had regrets, but she looked into the future.
Turning her head away, she never looked back.

“Yo, you’re Shi Xiao?” After getting off the plane, a woman with exaggerated makeup and gorgeous clothes walked up to her. “Follow me.”
She arrived at Shan Nan. Shi Xiao had never been to this province before. She’d heard it wasn’t the safest of places. Not only were there many ethnic minorities, but there were also many people who sold guns and drugs.
She didn’t know why the organization wanted her to come to this place.
When she saw the woman named Anemone walking in front of her, Shi Xiao’s immediately thought she looked seductive. She was very feminine and belonged to the type of woman who could easily arouse men’s desires.
This made her, who had always prided herself on her charm, feel somewhat inferior.
Anemone took Shi Xiao to lunch before assigning her tasks.
“This person right here,” Anemone pointed at the man with a mohawk in the photo. “He has a batch of goods in his hands and they will arrive around next month. Before that, you have to gain his trust and tell me his trading location.”
Shi Xiao looked at the man in the photo, who was a little fierce and sinister, and felt a little scared.
“Scared?” Anemone noticed Shi Xiao’s reaction. Seeing that Shi Xiao was a little nervous and scared, she smiled and said, “If you’re scared, I’ll buy you a plane ticket. You can go back.”
Shi Xiao shook her head and said, “Who said I’m scared? I’ll complete the mission! The commission is 200 million. You’re not lying to me, right?”
“I’m not lying to you. I started at your age. As long as you do it well, it’s possible for a contract to be worth billions in the future.” Anemone smiled seductively.
Shi Xiao made up her mind and kept the photo of the man with the mohawk.

“I am Jinny, and I choose Xiang Yun as my choice of fragrance!”
“Live the life you’re meant to have.”
“Green Bamboo, the scent of bamboo you’ve never experienced before. You’ll find yourself immersed in a bamboo forest playing the harp. Come, join me, and explore the life you deserved to live.”

Over one night, the giant screens in front of various high-end shopping malls were playing the advertisements for Xiang Yun Corporations’s new high-end luxury fragrance, Green Bamboo.
Even Tang Rou was shocked by the overwhelming publicity of the perfume.
