"Hey, are you for real?"
Seeing Qin Tian reaching out with his "claws" to grope her randomly, Lu Qing got startled and instantly, her pretty face turned red as she looked at Qin Tian.
"Hehe, are you scared or just shy?" Qin Tian chuckled as he looked at her, his hands, however, didn’t stop moving as he touched Lu Qing’s delicate and smooth waist through her clothes.
"I, I... You stink, go take a shower first!"
Although Lu Qing had thought about doing something with Qin Tian before, she was still somewhat nervous about actually taking that step. After all, even though she had learned a lot about the affairs between men and women, she had never experienced it herself, so she felt extremely anxious and shy.
"How about we shower together?" Qin Tian fixed his gaze straight on Lu Qing.
"Shower together... I, I... that’s so embarrassing, you go shower first..." By now, Lu Qing’s face was blushing all the way to her neck.
"Alright, then I will...."
Before Qin Tian could finish speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside Lu Qing’s room.
In the ambiguous atmosphere of the room, both Qin Tian and Lu Qing were startled.
"President Lu, it’s Yurou."
From outside the room came an exceptionally gentle voice.
Lu Qing came to her senses, looked at Qin Tian, and said, "It’s my personal secretary, Chen Yurou."
"Oh... the tall one who looks like a model, the young beauty? I remember her now." Qin Tian had some recollection of Lu Qing’s beautiful secretary.
"Okay, just a moment."
Lu Qing responded to Chen Yurou, then whispered to Qin Tian, "I told Yurou to come to see me today only if there was something important. It seems that there must be some progress on that matter."
"What matter?" Qin Tian asked.
"I’ll discuss that with you later. It’s related to the next big step in the development of Qin Real Estate."
Lu Qing looked at Qin Tian seriously, then, thinking of something, she said, "Umm... maybe you should go to my bedroom and wait a bit?"
"Ah?" Qin Tian was taken aback.
"It’s embarrassing to have you in my room right now..." Lu Qing gave Qin Tian a pleading look.
"I haven’t done anything, why does it feel like I’m having an affair..."
"Stop it with your nonsense!"
Lu Qing punched Qin Tian, who shook his head with a sigh and headed toward Lu Qing’s bedroom, having a bad feeling that his good fortune was about to be derailed again.
"What is it? Is there news about the plot of land in Zhonghai Square?"
In the living room of Lu Qing’s room, Lu Qing and Chen Yurou started talking, while Qin Tian was listening intently from the side of Lu Qing’s bedroom.
"Huh, Sister Qing’s bedroom smells nice..."
Looking at the arrangement of Lu Qing’s boudoir, Qin Tian smiled knowingly; pink sheets, pink quilt, pink pillows – Sister Qing seemed to be a very warm-hearted girl.
Noticing a patch of black next to the pillow on Lu Qing’s bed, Qin Tian paused, walked over to take a look, and saw it was a black lump. Picking it up and unfolding it, he suddenly stood there in shock.
This is a black lace-trim thong!
"Holy shit, Sister Qing actually has this kink, she actually likes wearing this?"
Qin Tian looked left and right, and immediately began to let his imagination run wild.
It wasn’t until he heard the voices of Chen Yurou and Lu Qing talking outside the room that he was brought back to reality, put down the panties, and listened intently.
"Director Lu, we’ve just received news that the Zhonghai Square project has started tendering, and many real estate companies are eager to participate. As far as I know, several of the major real estate moguls in Zhonghai City have already expressed intention to join the bidding," Chen Yurou said with her gentle and pleasant voice, making Qin Tian think of that model girl wearing a professional short skirt, towering over one meter seventy.
"As expected, but I didn’t anticipate the tender notice would come so soon," Lu Qing said with a serious expression.
"Then... Director Lu, what should we do?" Chen Yurou asked.
"Immediately go to the company for a meeting, gather the mid and senior level leaders, discuss plans with everyone, and my personal opinion is, get ready to participate in the Zhonghai Square project."
Hearing Lu Qing’s words, Chen Yurou was stunned for a moment, then surprisingly said, "Director Lu, are you saying that we at Qin Real Estate are going in as an independent company?"
"Exactly. Rather than team up and have to look at others’ faces, it’s better to act on our own," Lu Qing said.
"But, Director Lu, with the modest resources of our Qin Real Estate, compared to those big companies joining the bidding, I’m afraid... we have virtually no competitive edge, and besides, we have no connections with the government. Even if we do participate, the probability of winning the bid is extremely slim."
Chen Yurou didn’t wait for Lu Qing to reply before she continued, "This time, Murong Group, the leading real estate giant in the East District, has already confirmed their participation in the tendering. Not to mention other real estate giants in Zhonghai City, compared to Murong Group, compared to Murong Fei, Qin Real Estate is at a basic disadvantage in every aspect. I’m afraid, we can’t compete with Murong Fei."
"Indeed, Murong Group is large and has big business, and Murong Fei is truly formidable. But how will we know if there’s a chance without trying? Forget it, discussing here is pointless, let’s immediately go to the company for a meeting, gather everyone, and see what their opinions are," Lu Qing said.
Just as Qin Tian was listening intently, he suddenly heard a door close, and his lips twitched.
Holy crap, just like that she left?
I’m still in the room!
Qin Tian opened his mouth, speechless, thinking that Lu Qing was truly a workaholic, so absorbed in her work that she could disregard everything else.
Walking out of the room, Qin Tian was still reflecting on the conversation between Lu Qing and Chen Yurou.
It seemed that Zhonghai Square in Zhonghai City must be a government project, a massive one that had already started the bidding process.
Murong Fei had already confirmed her participation in the bidding.
And Lu Qing seemed to be entertaining the idea as well.
"Holy crap, are they really going to face off against each other?"
At this thought, Qin Tian spread his hands, a bit helpless.
He had intended to avoid any confrontation or competition between Lu Qing and Murong Fei as much as possible.
But now it seemed unavoidable, as Qin Real Estate, emerging as a new real estate company in the Eastern District, would have to challenge Murong Group, the major real estate enterprise there.
This meant that a direct competition between Murong Fei and Lu Qing was inevitable.
"Fuck, one is the woman I’m betrothed to, the other is a woman who’s close to me, who the hell should I support?"
Thinking about this female rivalry problem gave Qin Tian a massive headache.
Just as Qin Tian was about to leave Lu Qing’s room, Lu Qing sent him a text message: "I trust you heard our conversation and now know about the Zhonghai Square project. My opinion is to participate in the bidding independently, however, as the behind-the-scenes boss, I need to ask for your opinion."
Before Qin Tian could reply to the message, Lu Qing sent another text: "I know you have a good relationship with Murong Fei. So, I can try to seek cooperation with Murong Fei, but knowing her character, Qin Real Estate won’t get much from it. Of course, the probability of success in independent bidding is also less than 10%. Boss, tell me your decision, okay?"
