Qin Yao was startled for a moment, then tried to get up, but Xu Hao held her down and patted her shoulder, signaling for her not to panic.
At that moment, a middle-aged man walked in. When he saw Qin Yao sitting on Xu Hao's lap, jealousy burned within him, his eyes nearly spewing fire as he coldly said, "Chairman Qin, in broad daylight, you're having a rendezvous with your lover in the office. I'm very curious about what kind of"
Qin Yao simply didn't stand up and spoke indifferently, "Chairman Gu Yi, walking into someone else's office without knocking seems impolite, right?"
Gu Yi sneered, "What does it matter if it's impolite? All I know is if I give the scene I just witnessed to the media and let them cover it extensively, I believe tomorrow's front-page headlines will be extremely eye-catching. After all, Miss Qin is the famously beautiful chairwoman of Jing'an City.
Moreover, the Qin Corporation has just started to recover. After such a heavy blow, it could very well be beyond recovery, right? I'm quite curious if those old timers on the board of directors will let you off."
Saying this, he raised his phone, which contained a short video of Xu Hao holding Qin Yao and chatting with her.
Qin Yao immediately lost her composure. Gu Yi was right; if her private affairs were leaked, it would certainly cause the stock price of Qin Corporation to plummet.
At that point, those profit-driven elders on the board would probably skin her alive, wouldn't they?
Seeing Qin Yao's face grow anxious, Gu Yi chuckled, "Miss Qin, if you want to escape the current predicament, it's simple. Get rid of this pretty boy immediately, follow me, and I won't spread this matter. After all, speaking out would do neither of us any good."
Qin Yao instantly understood that Gu Yi's lengthy talk probably had only one goal: herself. If he got her, wouldn't she be at his mercy?
Then, the massive foundation of Qin Corporation would become his.
Xu Hao, however, laughed and said, "Xiao Yao, who is this guy?"
Qin Yao quickly explained, "He's the owner of Wangsheng Real Estate. He now wants to enter the cosmetics industry, so he came to discuss financing by becoming part of our Qin Corporation. There's nothing between us."
Gu Yi glanced at Xu Hao, noting that his clothing didn't cost more than one thousand yuan, and sneered with contempt, "Miss Qin, you really don't treat your lover too well, do you? You can't even buy him a set of designer clothes? It seems that your Qin Corporation is really on its last legs, likely experiencing its final moments of brilliance?"
Xu Hao laughed, "Chairman Gu Yi? Are you very wealthy?"
Gu Yi said with an arrogant face, "Of course, I have five or six residential complexes under my belt, assets worth several billion. Do you think I'm rich?"
Xu Hao chuckled, "Since you're so rich, let's do this: let's see who's wealthier. How about that? If I turn out to be wealthier, then you delete the stuff on your phone, or I'll step out of the running for Xiao Yao."
Gu Yi sized up Xu Hao and scoffed with disdain, "You? A little bit that leaks through my fingers would be enough for you to earn for a lifetime."
Xu Hao wasn't angered and simply said, "Heh, arguing over trivial benefits is pointless. Let's go shopping for Xiao Yao. Whichever item Xiao Yao likes, we will both make an offer. The highest bidder gets it. Do you dare?"
Qin Yao quickly pulled on Xu Hao's hand, knowing he was quite wealthy but even wealth shouldn't be wasted!
Xu Hao just smiled, "Xiao Yao, it's fine. After all, I should be buying you some jewelry and stuff."
Seeing Xu Hao's determined attitude, Qin Yao didn't try to persuade him further.
Gu Yi sneered, "The last thing I lack is money! Let's go. Whoever dares not bid is a coward!" Alwаys rеаd frоm thе sоurсе: М|V|LЕ4МРYR.
Xu Hao, with Qin Yao in tow, walked outside, laughing heartily, "Not bad! Whoever dares not bid in the end is the coward! Since we're comparing who's wealthier, we must go to the most expensive store. I've heard that Xu Liu Group has several precious jade carvings by Mr. Gu Junyi, which are very pricey. Do you dare go there to bid?"
"Xu Liu Group? That's the former Liu Corporation, right! Hmph! Let's go! Whoever is scared is a loser!" Gu Yi was quite brave; he didn't believe he could lose in a financial contest to this young upstart in front of him.
As they got into Qin Yao's car, she couldn't help but laugh softly, "Brother Hao, you're really awful, the Xu Liu Group is clearly your and Ruyan's corporation, and yet you're making him go there to shop. Even if you end up paying, won't the money just be going from your left pocket to your right pocket?"
Xu Hao shrugged and said innocently, "Xiao Yao, you're really wronging me. I just mentioned it casually. Who told him to be so stupid?"
Qin Yao giggled shyly, suddenly kissed Xu Hao, and then quickly ran to the driver's seat to drive.
Xu Hao touched his face and looked at Qin Yao's blushingly rosy cheeks, thinking to himself, with a woman , what more could a man ask for!
Gu Yi, in his own car behind them, witnessed everything and coldly commanded, "Drive to the main store of Xu Liu Group's Jade Store! I'm going to make this kid kneel and call me grandpa!"
