A woman as bright and unrestrained as Xue Qiandai is truly difficult for any man to handle. Zhao Jiequn agreed, "And then?"
"And then?" Rong Xiao and Zhao Jiequn clinked glasses. "Even though the beautiful flower has an owner, I'll come and loosen the soil, right? But, Huo Meiren is too powerful. A natural-born academic genius, a business prodigy, and damn tall, with long legs and handsome looks. Apart from being on par with him in terms of looks, I have no competitive advantage at all."
"You think you're evenly matched? You overestimate yourself." Zhao Jiequn's lips curled up, finding it hilarious.
Rong Xiao immediately puffed out his cheeks and glared at him, his stunning good looks making him approach him. "Am I not beautiful? Am I not beautiful? Am I not beautiful? Humph."
As that face grew larger and larger in his field of vision, with its red lips and white teeth, Zhao Jiequn was repeatedly defeated and retreated. "Cough cough cough, you need inner beauty and substance. How can you be all looks and no substance?"
Rong Xiao covered his face with both hands. "What can I do? I just want to rely on luck, not on my inner qualities." He picked up his wine glass and found it was empty. Zhao Jiequn's glass, however, was still full. He angrily tapped the table with his index and middle fingers. "Young Master Zhao, are you raising fish? Waiter, another glass, Misty Forest. Oh no, two glasses."
The Misty Forest is like strong liquor.
"Today, I'm going to drink the strongest liquor and fall in love with the most beautiful woman."
Rong Xiao got drunk and collapsed into Zhao Jiequn's arms.
Zhao Jiequn was speechless and at a loss for what to do. "Brother, you're really straight. Aren't you just trying to scam me?" He slapped Rong Xiao's face mercilessly. "Hey, don't pretend to be drunk. I'll leave you stranded on the street."
Rong Xiao's face was flushed even more from the slap, her breathing was hot, and she looked incredibly charming.
"Where do you live? Hey, Young Master Rong? Young Master Rong? Scoundrel Rong? Ugly Monster Rong!"
Rong Xiao slept peacefully, nuzzling against his shoulder and muttering, "Consort Dai, I like you so much. But why are there always so many unwanted suitors around you?"
Zhao Jiequn, the one who had been flirting with Rong Xiao, looked up to the sky and let out a long howl, but before he could finish, he took Rong Xiao home.
For the first time in his life, he brought a man home.

On the morning of October 13, Xue Qiandai went to the coffee shop in Huo Yunchao's car.
As autumn chill set in, she not only wore a trench coat with the collar turned up, but also a scarf, bundled up completely.
The car stopped in front of the W Hotel.
Xue Qiandai didn't get out of the car; her cheeks were puffed out like a fish about to blow bubbles. "Next time, no stamps allowed. No leaving any marks on exposed skin. Got it?"
Huo Yunchao smacked his lips, seemingly savoring the memory. "Dai Dai, you really can't blame me. You were too enthusiastic yesterday, I..."
I couldn't control myself.
"You still dare to say that? How am I supposed to face anyone now?" I'm so embarrassed.
"It's okay, anyway, the whole world knows you're my girlfriend."
When a person becomes extremely cunning, they are invincible.
Xue Qiandai got out of the car, slammed the door shut, and walked away without looking back.
Lan Shan and Jin Xiangyu have both returned to the capital and are currently having a chat with You Duoduo and Jian Yan. Oh no, I mean, a meeting.
"The InterContinental Hotel's Lightyear Coffee branch is all set, and the signing ceremony will be held at the end of October. This time, it's all thanks to Duoduo." Jian Yan looked at You Duoduo with approval in her eyes.
During this time, Lan Shan and Jin Xiangyu were in Yunnan. Xue Qiandai was preoccupied with the court hearings, and Jian Yan also had to manage the Taobao store and new products. All the negotiations and meetings fell on You Duoduo's shoulders. Fortunately, he held his own.
You Duoduo grinned sheepishly, her forehead wrinkles crinkling with laughter. "Actually, Dai Dai gave me a lot of guidance, and so did Jian Yan. Everyone in the shop is so capable, I can't be too weak, can I?"
Yes, of the five partners in the coffee shop, You Duoduo has the lowest profile. Since becoming a partner, he has been working hard, hoping to make others see his value.
“You’re not just not weak, you’re amazing.” Xue Qiandai walked in and sat down in the seat reserved for everyone. “I propose that Duoduo attend, speak, and cut the ribbon at the signing ceremony.”
The boss made the decision, "Okay. Duoduo will handle all the negotiations from start to finish."
You Duoduo clenched her little fists, full of fighting spirit. "Now that I've finished writing my speech, Dai Dai and Jian Yan, please check it out for me."
"Sure, no problem."
After discussing some follow-up promotional matters for the coffee shop, we moved on to our Yunnan trip.
"Sister Yu, Lan Ka, how do you feel about returning home in triumph this time?" Jian Yan asked.
Jin Xiangyu breathed a sigh of relief, displaying a worldly-wise optimism. "That's really great. I even participated in the Pu'er Folk Song Festival, haha. You wouldn't believe it, Lan Shan almost got his eye on by a big coffee plantation owner and became his husband."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately locked onto Lanshan.
"There's big news!" they exclaimed in unison.
Lan Shan's face was tense, and she frowned. "I have a family, so stop gossiping!"
Xue Qiandai chuckled, "Didn't your family members go berserk?"
Lan Shan touched his lips, recalling the scene at the coffee plantation, the two of them so inseparable and affectionate, and his ears turned red. "No, no, I've calmed myself down. Let's not talk about this anymore, let's get back to work."
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Xue Qiandai and Jian Yan went to the workroom.
"How's it going between you and Senior Brother Qin?" The door closed, and it was time for the two girls to have a private chat.
Jian Yan lowered her head, her face burning. "He's very good. Not just to me, but to my brother too. Dai Dai, I went to his house yesterday."
"OMG!" Xue Qiandai's expression was exaggerated. "Did you...do that?"
Jian Yan immediately turned her face away. "What are you thinking? I just broke up with him. He didn't drive yesterday, so I took him home. It can't always be the man taking the woman home; we're both powerful women. He didn't want me to leave; he has plenty of rooms..."
