And earth-shattering at that?
Upon hearing Du Qiuniang’s secretive words, Qin Tian was startled, "Qiuniang, you look so happy, what’s the good news?"
Du Qiuniang smiled coquettishly, glanced around to see that no one was there, then leaned in close to Qin Tian, "Master, our Qin Pharmaceutical’s total market value has now surpassed one billion!"
Startled by Du Qiuniang’s words, Qin Tian asked, "That quickly?"
"Of course, Qin’s Scar Removal Ointment is now the best-selling product among all the major pharmaceutical companies and hospitals, and mainly because our production has also increased. Naturally, the value of the company has risen rapidly. Qiuniang estimates that our Qin Pharmaceutical’s net profit this year will be at least four billion!"
"Impressive, impressive!"
Qin Tian hurriedly gave this coquettish sister a thumbs-up, having not at all expected Qin Pharmaceutical to develop so rapidly.
Although the main reason was the popularity of Qin’s Scar Removal Ointment, Du Qiuniang’s management was definitely a critical factor.
"Master, how are you going to reward me?" Du Qiuniang giggled.
"You tell me what you want, and I’ll give it to you," Qin Tian responded directly.
Such an achievement was tantamount to providing an economic pillar for Qin Tian, stabilising War Dragon’s rear!
Whatever Du Qiuniang wanted, Qin Tian had decided to give!
"Master, you know, I want you," she said.
Inside, Qin Tian was very generous, but before he could fully savor that boldness, Du Qiuniang’s words almost made him choke.
Seeing this, Du Qiuniang giggled and said, "Master, you better not forget our bet. Once the market value exceeded ten billion, you agreed to spend a night with me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian was at a loss for words.
Damn, she actually remembered that bet? I had totally forgotten about it...
Spend a night together?
An employee performs well and I, as the boss, reward myself by spending a night with her?
Why does that sound so awkward!
Usually, isn’t this the kind of scenario you see in novels where the male protagonist and the beautiful boss end up together? But the catch is that I’m the one accompanying her to bed, and I’m a man!
"Qiuniang, why? Can’t you ask for some other reward..."
Qin Tian naturally hadn’t forgotten about the bet’s reward; at the time, he made it to motivate Du Qiuniang to manage Qin Pharmaceutical well, also thinking that she wouldn’t be able to achieve this goal.
Now it seems... any bet with the purpose of sleeping as its goal is sheer hooliganism!
"Master, you’re not going to go back on your word, are you?"
Seeing Qin Tian’s reaction, Du Qiuniang showed a hint of grievance, "To achieve the ten billion target, Qiuniang has really put everything on the line, last month, I didn’t go home for a whole month because I was sleeping in the office..."
"Master, could it be that you find Qiuniang unattractive, or that, Qiuniang is unworthy..."
Hearing Du Qiuniang’s words, Qin Tian hastily waved his hands, "Qiuniang, your contribution is immense, but... um... may I ask, why exactly do you insist on me spending the night? Hiss, this... I’ve never had a beautiful woman make this kind of request of me..."
"If you agree to it, then I’ll tell you."
Du Qiuniang flashed him a beguiling look, her gaze serious.
Observing Du Qiuniang’s earnest expression, Qin Tian also felt that this beautiful sister probably wasn’t coveting his looks. Could there really be some secret?
"What secret could there possibly be that she’d have to sleep with me...hiss, I really can’t think of anything..."
Qin Tian scratched his head.
"Master, if you find it difficult, then forget it..."
"No, I promised you. When Qin Tian gives his word, he keeps it, no ifs or buts."
Qin Tian hesitated for a moment before agreeing directly.
What’s the big deal, I’m not losing out on anything, why act all coy?
It’s just sharing a bed, what’s wrong with sleeping alongside a beauty? I have my gun, what is there to be afraid of?
Having agreed, Du Qiuniang instantly smiled, her eyes filled with gratitude.
She knew that her sudden request put Qin Tian in an awkward, uncomfortable position. After all, Qin Tian wasn’t short of beauties by his side, he didn’t need to sleep with her... but at the end of the day, he still agreed, which made her unbelievably happy; her goal of many years was finally achieved.
"Master, when shall we do it?" asked Du Qiuniang.
"Let’s get right to it, tonight," Qin Tian declared decisively, thinking to himself, let the storm come more fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Du Qiuniang nodded excitedly, then said, "Master, let’s go to my place now."
"Qiuniang, you still haven’t told me why you want to..."
"When we get to my place, Qiuniang will tell her secret to the Master."
The two quietly slipped out of Wolong Base, with Qin Tian driving, taking Du Qiuniang straight to her villa.
In the car, Du Qiuniang revealed her secret.
It was a secret that shocked Qin Tian immensely!
"Master, I am actually... Huaxia has fifty-six ethnic groups, but Qiuniang doesn’t belong to any of them, nor is she of mixed foreign descent. I am from one of Huaxia’s four great mysterious tribes that have existed from ancient times until now."
As soon as Du Qiuniang started speaking, she stunned Qin Tian: "Four great mysterious tribes?"
"Yes, four great mysterious tribes that have always been hidden from the vast world and the mystical world. Very few people in the world know about us. Some of our tribal members disappear into secrecy, others live in the cities among the common folk, indistinguishable from them."
"Qiuniang, what tribe are you from exactly?"
"Yes, you might not have heard of us, we are a very ancient tribe, tracing back to the time of Nuwa creating humans..."
As she spoke, Du Qiuniang’s eyes glittered, as if she thought of something, staring at Qin Tian: "Master, you couldn’t be unaware, I feel like you should know."
"I should know? Why should I know?"
"Because your tribe is also one of the four great mysterious tribes."
Upon hearing Du Qiuniang’s words, Qin Tian was completely astonished, "I’m also one? How do you know? Which tribe do I belong to?"
What Du Qiuniang said really took Qin Tian by surprise, Am I not even Huaxia anymore? What the hell!
"Master, you’re of the Dragon Flame Clan. Don’t you know?"
"Dragon Flame Clan? What kind of tribe is that? I... I’ve never even heard of it!"
Qin Tian was near faint, thinking to himself, Cao Taiji, that old bachelor, never told me any of this! Could he be hiding my true heritage? Do I have a secret lineage?
After some thought, Qin Tian felt there was something mysterious about the whole thing, looking at Du Qiuniang with disbelief, "Qiuniang, you’re not making up these stories just to sleep with me, are you..."
"Master, I’m not that kind of person. You really are a descendant of the Dragon Flame Clan, don’t you ever feel different from other ordinary people?"
"Different? How am I different from others?"
"There’s a lot. For example, you have a strong learning ability, you pick up everything quickly; your body is unlike that of ordinary people, healing from injuries several times faster, and, oh, the most obvious sign is, when members of the Dragon Flame Clan get furious, their eyes, their pupils, turn red! The angrier they get, the redder they become!"
