She didn't even feel like drinking coffee anymore.
He turned to look at Huang Yaoji and Wu Yifan.
"Mr. Huang, Mr. Wu, that's enough for today, let's stop chatting."
"The goods you requested will be handed over to you tomorrow."
"That's all, I'll be going now!"
Huang Yaoji smiled slightly: "It's nothing, Mr. Liu has other matters to attend to, please go ahead!"
"Just make sure you can deliver the goods to me smoothly tomorrow!"
Thank you for understanding!
Liu Qingyao picked up the handbag, raising her eyebrows slightly: "Don't worry, the goods were prepared long ago, the handover will be fine, you just need to prepare enough money!"
After saying that, he walked out of the booth and swayed away.
As soon as she stepped out of the coffee shop, Wu Yifan shook his head.
"Liu Qingyao is a bit scary."
"They are arrogant and disrespectful because they have Hong Guoliang backing them up."
He paused for a moment, a hint of worry appearing on his face.
"I'm really a little scared to do business with a woman like that."
"Afraid?"
Huang Yaoji scoffed: "What's so scary about a woman who rises to the top by selling her body?"
“We have considerable influence in the business world, and even Hong Guoliang has to give us some face.”
"Liu Qingyao won't have the guts to try anything funny with us in the future."
"The reason we're being nice to her now is because we want to work with her."
"She secretly switched out the top-quality goods and sold them to us at a bargain price. As long as we make money, that's fine."
"Don't worry about how arrogant she is. If she can't get the goods one day, the cooperation will end, and we'll go our separate ways. There's nothing to worry about!"
After hearing Huang Yaoji's words, Wu Yifan thought about it and agreed.
"Yes! You're right, I doubt Liu Qingyao would dare to play us!"
"Alright, we should go now. Let's head back to the hotel to prepare the funds, and pick up the goods tomorrow and leave!"
Unable to win against Fang Xueqing at the coffee shop, Liu Qingyao returned to the villa, seething with anger.
As soon as I entered, I saw a bald man with a large belly walking out of the living room.
"Ah! Director Long, you've come..."
Liu Qingyao stopped in her tracks, her eyes widening.
"Hehe! It's President Liu!"
Director Long waved his hand: "Goodbye!"
"Um?"
Liu Qingyao looked bewildered: "Director Long, didn't you come here to discuss the bidding for the Blue Star Building project?"
"Why are you leaving so soon after I got back?"
"I've been here for an hour!"
Director Long shook his fat head, glanced at the collar of her dress below her neck, and smiled, saying, "I've told Chairman Hong everything I needed to say about the bidding for the Blue Star Building project. I have a lot of things to do and can't stay too long!"
"For bidding matters, just ask Chairman Hong!"
After saying that, he swayed his large body and walked out of the yard!
Liu Qingyao frowned. From the way Director Long had been sneaking glances at her collar, she could tell that he harbored filthy thoughts about her.
She met Director Long when Hong Guoliang took her to a high-end dinner party.
At that time, Director Long was staring at her like a hungry wolf. He even blocked her outside when she went to the restroom and hinted at the possibility of sexual favors.
At that time, she was being kept by Hung Kwok-leung and didn't take Director Lung seriously.
At the same time, I felt nauseous at his obese body.
Therefore, she coldly rejected him.
After several subsequent encounters, she learned that Director Long was the second-in-command of a powerful figure in Jiangnan, and that Hong Guoliang needed his help with many things.
However, she believed that Hong Guoliang would always step in to help her with anything, so she didn't need to ask Director Long for favors. Therefore, she still didn't take Director Long's position seriously.
"Hmph! You fatso, what are you putting on airs for in front of me?"
"I don't need you to do anything for me!"
Liu Qingyao spat in the direction of the courtyard gate, then walked into the living room.
"Um?"
Besides Hong Guoliang, Lin Xueyan was also in the living room.
Liu Qingyao's face immediately darkened.
"Lin Xueyan, what are you doing here?"
"Don't you know that you're not welcome here?"
"What?"
"Liu Qingyao, don't make a big deal out of nothing."
Lin Xueyan stood up and retorted without any politeness: "This villa was bought by Chairman Hong, it's not your private property. I can come and go as I please, it's none of your business!"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing!"
Hong Guoliang looked displeased: "What are you doing? The moment you met, the atmosphere was tense. Have you forgotten my advice?"
"You two are partners, so you need to forget the unpleasant things from the past and work together peacefully. Only then will the Hong Group's development in Jiangnan be free of any trouble!"
"Hmph! What partner? I don't care!"
Liu Qingyao curled her lip: "Even without her, I can still make the Hong Group thrive in Jiangnan!"
"Enough!"
Hong Guoliang's face darkened: "Liu Qingyao, stop bringing up these pointless things!"
"It's good that you're back. Director Long just left; you should have run into him!"
"Yes, I saw it!"
Liu Qingyao raised an eyebrow: "That's exactly what I was going to ask. What's Long Aotian doing here?"
"It's not a good thing!"
Hong Guoliang said helplessly, "He knows you've been going against Fang Xueqing lately and are trying to snatch projects at any cost!"
"That's why you came here specifically to talk to me!"
"conversation?"
Liu Qingyao asked dismissively, "What did you talk about?"
He said that the bidding for the Blue Star Building project is tomorrow, and he doesn't care how you bid.
Even if you win the Blue Star Building project with a bid so low that you lose money, he won't care.
"However, the Blue Star Building must be built according to the quality requirements of the contract; no shortcuts or shoddy workmanship are allowed!"
"If the quality fails to meet the inspection standards after completion, not only will it be demolished and rebuilt, but a fine of ten times the delay will also be imposed."
"This is no joke."
"The contract for the construction of the Blue Star Building was awarded at a bid of 5 billion yuan. The fine was imposed based on that price, not on the construction price you submitted."
"Ten times is 50 billion!"
"Therefore, you must be extremely careful when you compete with Fang Xueqing tomorrow."
"If the bid is too low, let her have it!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyao's pupils dilated, and her eyeballs almost popped out.
"What?"
"Give it to Fang Xueqing?"
"impossible."
"I must take it at all costs tomorrow."
"At most, once we win the contract, we just need to build it according to the quality standards stipulated in the contract!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Xueyan immediately sneered.
"Liu Qingyao, you make it sound so easy."
"If you can win the Blue Star Building project at a price lower than the construction cost."
"If we build it according to the contract's quality requirements, do you realize how huge the losses will be for the Hong Group?"
"The materials for the entire building and the salaries of several hundred employees will cost around three billion."
"Not only did you not make any money, but you also want the Hong Group to lose 3 billion!"
"You didn't pay for it, so why don't you feel the pain? You're just playing around with the Hong Group's money!"
"Lin Xueyan, shut up!"
Liu Qingyao pointed her finger and said, "I'm in charge of the projects outside. It's not your place to tell me what to do!"
As he spoke, he looked at Hong Guoliang and said, "President Hong, I am determined to get the Blue Star Building project and will never let Fang Xueqing have it!"
