"Tingchen, what are you doing? You have to do this every time we meet!"

Liu Qingyao pushed him away again, turned over and sat up, her face darkening.

"I'm about to go bankrupt, and you haven't helped me at all. All you ever think about is doing *that*, isn't that annoying!"

Seeing her strong reaction, Gu Tingchen felt a little angry.

He just hadn't truly gotten what he wanted yet, and he didn't want to officially turn against Liu Qingyao.

"Heh! If you don't want to, you don't want to. Why are you getting so angry!"

Gu Tingchen forced a smile: "I came here today to help you. You might not have to auction off the Liu Group!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyao immediately perked up, and the dark lines on her face disappeared.

Are you telling the truth?

"Could I joke like that?"

Gu Tingchen patted her shoulder.

"Hey! I went to Hongyuan Group today, and Jiang Ruonan said that one of her clients has a 500 million yuan electronic chip manufacturing project that needs to find a partner!"

Are you interested?

"What?"

"A five-hundred-million-dollar electronic chip manufacturing contract?"

Liu Qingyao's eyes nearly popped out of her head, her mouth agape: "Of course I'm interested! If I can secure this project, I can show the contracts to the banks and suppliers/creditors, and the debts can be deferred, bringing my company back to life!"

"I'm glad you're interested!"

Gu Tingchen said, "President Jiang has already arranged a place to have dinner with that client. I'll take you there to meet them and discuss things in detail!"

"Meeting is fine, but..."

Liu Qingyao suddenly looked troubled: "A 500 million yuan OEM project requires a large amount of start-up capital. I can't get a loan anywhere right now. Where can I raise the money?"

"Hehe, you don't need to worry about money!"

Gu Tingchen smiled and said, "President Jiang said that she will provide the funding, you and I will provide the labor, and the profits will be split equally among the three of us."

"Now you're free of pressure, right?"

Liu Qingyao's eyes lit up. If Jiang Ruonan was willing to invest, then things would be much easier.

Although we can only get 30% of the profits, it's still more than 160 million, which can solve the company's predicament.

Moreover, we must take a long-term view. If this OEM project can be completed smoothly, there will definitely be a steady stream of business in the future.

The Liu Group's comeback is just around the corner.

So she immediately agreed and asked Gu Tingchen to take her to meet Jiang Ruonan and that client right now.

"No rush, President Jiang and his team are making arrangements to go there!"

Gu Tingchen hugged her again: "We still have time, it's not too late to go later!"

As he spoke, he pressed Liu Qingyao down onto the sofa again and reached out to unbutton her clothes.

Liu Qingyao was disgusted and wanted to push him away, but she held back after thinking about it. For the sake of that electronics manufacturing project, she didn't want to upset Gu Tingchen.

He said calmly, "I won't stop you, but you need to know when to stop and not cross the line!"

What she meant was that intimacy was fine, but a final line of defense should be maintained.

Gu Tingchen was furious. He thought to himself, "You lived with Ye Tianyu for three years before, and now you're my fiancée, yet you keep rejecting me. What do I lack compared to Ye Tianyu?"

But since Liu Qingyao had said that, he didn't dare to force her, because he had his own plans and couldn't afford to break ties with her.

He nodded immediately: "Okay, if you don't want to, I won't force you!"

After saying that, he tore open Liu Qingyao's top...

Ye Tianyu arrived at the Imperial Garden International Hotel and took the elevator from the lobby to the revolving restaurant on the top floor.

Imperial Garden is the only six-star hotel in Jiangnan, and its guests are all wealthy and influential.

The revolving restaurant on the 50th floor is a gathering place for business tycoons and celebrities; even the wealthy cannot go up there.

Guests who can dine at the revolving restaurant are all powerful figures and top business leaders, and they must apply for the Black Diamond VIP card to demonstrate their noble status.

Ye Tianyu was a little puzzled. Why did Fang Xueqing invite him to such a high-end place for just a meal?

Rumor has it that a single meal at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Imperial Garden costs at least 200,000 yuan for two people.

I'm just Fang Xueqing's bodyguard, do I really need to be so extravagant?

Of course, Fang Xueqing is not short of money, and she chose to come here; I have no right to stop her.

Since she's treating, I might as well eat it; it's free food.

Enjoy a feast of life yourself.

Upon arriving at the 50th floor and stepping out of the elevator, a female server with a figure and looks comparable to a flight attendant greeted me with a sweet smile and asked me very politely.

"Sir, do you have a Black Diamond VIP card? Or do you have a reservation?"

Ye Tianyu shook his head: "I don't have a card, but I have a reservation. Fang Xueqing, do you know where she's sitting?"

"Ah! So you were with President Fang!"

The waitress bent over at a 45-degree angle and stretched out her right hand: "Where is Mr. Fang? Please follow me!"

Judging from the waiter's humble attitude, Fang Xueqing was clearly a top-tier VIP here, a frequent customer.

He followed the waiter to a window seat, where Fang Xueqing was sitting.

She wore a white dress with a long pink coat draped over it.

She wore light makeup and exuded an air of elegance and nobility.

Ye Tianyu was stunned.

Wow, Fang Xueqing looks even more beautiful and charming than usual when she's dressed up. I couldn't help but secretly swallow.

Fang Xueqing smiled slightly when she saw his silly look.

"What are you looking at me for? Sit down."

"oh!"

Ye Tianyu snapped out of his daze and realized he had lost his composure, looking utterly embarrassed.

After sitting down, Fang Xueqing didn't ask Ye Tianyu what he wanted to eat, and directly asked the waiter to bring the dishes.

Soon, the waiter brought over a tray with a bottle of 1982 Lafite Reserve Limited Edition red wine.

A serving of foie gras, caviar, king crab, etc...

Ye Tianyu was speechless.

These are delicacies that most people wouldn't even dare to dream of; they're too extravagant.

Fang Xueqing poured Ye Tianyu a glass of red wine, then looked at him with a hint of apology on her face and said...

"I asked you to attend the Glorious Manor Awards Ceremony, but I kept a lot of things from you. Are you very angry?"

Ye Tianyu was stunned. He came over to have dinner with Fang Xueqing to question her about why she did what she did.

But before he could speak, Fang Xueqing spoke first.

I was at a loss for words.

After all, she is my boss. No matter what she does, how can I, as an employee, reprimand her?

Forget it, she was the one who gave me food when I was in my most difficult time, so I don't need to hold it against her.

Thinking of this, Ye Tianyu shook his head.

"No, everything you did was for me, why would I be angry?"

"Besides, it's all in the past, why bring it up again?"

Fang Xueqing's beautiful eyes flickered when she saw how magnanimous he was.

He then said, "Everything I did was indeed for you, but I was wrong to keep some things from you!"

"I told you not to mention it, why are you still saying it?" Ye Tianyu said with a wry smile.

"We still need to bring it up!"

Fang Xueqing said, "I have to explain this to you, otherwise I won't be able to live with myself!"
