Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 57: Set Some Ground Rules

Translator: 549690339

A psychologist?

Zheng Xu stood up, his eyes taking on a stern look.

“I’m not sick.” He glared coldly at Xiao Qian. If he wasn’t fond of her, someone speaking to him in this manner would have long since been tossed into the sea to feed the sharks.

“There isn’t a reputable psychologist in the country right now. If you refuse to see me, that’s fine, but you must go abroad to receive treatment from experts. The treatment will take a long time, so you best prepare to be out of the country for half a year.”

“Are you seeking death?” Zheng Xu stared menacingly at the woman.

He wondered, was this woman sent here by his competitors?

Not many people knew about his condition. He was currently competing for a piece of land, was this woman an agent sent by his competitor to cause trouble?

Furthermore, this woman was extremely beautiful. Was his opponent using a beauty trap?

Having these thoughts, his initial favorable impression of Xiao Qian disappeared entirely, replaced with a somber expression.

Walking down the path of the Jianghu, Zheng Xu’s demeanor was enough to terrify even men, not to mention women. Any ordinary woman would have been trembling in fear by now.

But this wasn’t an ordinary woman, this was female boss Chen Xiaoqian!

She fearlessly approached Zheng Xu, matching his intimidating presence. Behind her glasses, her beautiful big eyes shone with a keen radiance. She spoke in a professional and composed voice,

“If I were to die, there wouldn’t be a second psychologist in the country capable of treating you. Even if there were, they wouldn’t be as tight-lipped as 1 am.”

This woman… Zheng Xu narrowed his eyes.

This was the first time a woman had shown no fear in his presence. The experienced Zheng Xu could read nothing from Xiao Qian’s eyes except determination.

Having seen many strong women before, women with the same intimidating presence as Xiao Qian were rare, but for the most part, they were all older.

When this sort of demeanor was found in a young woman, it was surprisingly natural. Zheng Xu had met all kinds of women, but never one like her.

Unlike the confidence and arrogance bred by the privileged children of the second or third generation, her confidence and demeanor felt…

Zheng Xu remained expressionless, keeping eye contact with Xiao Qian, while trying to figure out how to describe her.

He got it!

Xiao Qian’s demeanor didn’t come from the arrogance of a privileged lineage. It was an air of dominance, born from a mentality of “it’s either me or nobody”. It reminds him of his own attitude when he first came to the south with only 300 yuan in his pocket.

The two stared at each other for a full thirty seconds, Xiao Qian also sizing up Zheng Xu.

If she hadn’t known this guy for so long, if she wasn’t wise beyond her years, she wouldn’t have been able to keep calm in front of him. With his menacing face, he could even be used to scare children to sleep.

At such a critical moment when they were staring at each other, Xiao Qian suddenly had an inappropriate thought. She imagined scaring kids to sleep with the image of Zheng Xu, “Sleep quickly, or Zheng Xu will come and take you away!”

Then, she let out a small smile.

This smile distracted Zheng Xu.

Xiao Qian was not the type to smile often. So, when someone like her suddenly laughed, even the slightest uplift of her lips was enough to leave people entranced.

Zheng Xu extended his hand and touched Xiao Qian’s chin, “Who sent you? How much they are paying you? I’ll double it, and you follow me instead.”

Xiao Qian silently stared at him for two seconds and then-

“Smack!”

Zheng Xu was stunned.

Did he… just get slapped?

A woman dared to slap him?!

“Know your place, 1 am a doctor. If all doctor-patient relationships were messed up like this, society would fall into chaos!” Xiao Qian slapped him and felt immensely satisfied.

This scene was eerily similar to one from her past life.

Damn him for trying to play the dominant CEO card with her, a slap in the face was too light a punishment!

“You dare to hit me?!” Zheng Xu’s voice carried a murderous undertone.

He never lacked for female company, well, many were gifted spoils from his exploits, but which one dared to lash out at Brother Xu? Was she tired of living?

“I detest being touched by men. Regardless of whether you are ‘Brother Xu’ now or if you ever become ‘Master Xu’ in the future, if you dare lay a finger on me, 1’11 still slap you! Don’t bring your outside demeanor to the doctor’s office. Remember, for effective treatment, a psychologist and a patient must maintain an equal status. A hierarchy is not conducive to treatment. If you’re willing to be treated, get treated. If not, then be prepared to get scared into fainting at any time. I don’t care either way.”

Xiao Qian spoke without any hesitation.

She hated it when men touched her. Even if it was Zheng Xu, a familiar friend of hers, if he touched her, she would feel uncomfortable. Earlier, he touched her face, and she felt extremely repulsed by it. So far, the only person who could touch her was Yu Minglang.

“Do you know who I am?”

“Who in Qiang City doesn’t know Zheng Xu? Use your 250 IQbrain and think about it, if I were sent by an opponent, any identity would be better than being a psychologist. And if your opponent knew about your condition, unless their brain was blocked by a door, they would try to exploit it, not hire a psychologist.”

While her reasoning made sense, Zheng Xu remained on high alert.

“I’m not ill.” Very few people would admit they have a mental condition.

Especially for someone like Zheng Xu, a decisively aggressive crime boss. If word got out that he was phobic, he would be laughed to death.

“There’s nothing shameful about having a phobia. Psychoanalytic theory believes that terror is the symbolic and displaceable result of repressed subconscious conflict. Anyone may have it. Therefore, even if you do have a phobia, it doesn’t mean you’re not a man. You must correctly understand your problem.”

“I. DO. NOT!” Zheng Xu wanted to slap Xiao Qian as well, but looking at her face, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it.

“Not? Ha, here, look at this!”

Xiao Qian suddenly raised her hand, interlocked her fingers making a serrated shape. Upon looking, Zheng Xu felt dizzy, his heart raced, he was short of breath. He felt as if he was in a deep abyss, with the Grim Reaper himself carrying a serrated knife was pushing him off a cliff…

Seeing his complexion change, Xiao Qian lowered her hand, “Now, are you willing to talk?”

“Who are you, really?” Zheng Xu managed to keep his composure, but he was noticeably paler than before.

It was peculiar that a crime boss would have such a problem. As of now, Xiao Qian was almost equivalent to holding his life in her hands.

“I’ve told you before, I’m Psychologist Chen Xiaoqian.”

“What is your purpose?”

“I refuse to believe there’s a patient in this world I cannot cure.” 1 didn’t cure him in my past life, so 1 will continue to work on him in this one! Xiao Qian is not going to tell him that she regards him as an experimental subject.

Zheng Xu squinted his eyes, as if he was assessing the credibility of her words. If she was sent by his enemies, keeping this woman would be a disaster. But if she wasn’t…

“How do you plan on handling my condition?”

Xiao Qian didn’t rush to answer, but calmly put forth her demands.

“In order to treat you, we need to establish some ground rules..”
