As Jiang Ruonan spoke, two sharp beams of light shone on Gu Tingchen's face.
"Does Liu Qingyao know about our plan?"
"Well……"
Gu Tingchen shivered, hesitated for a moment, and then said.
"You should know a little bit. Last time you told me you were going to give Fang Xueqing another hard time, and she heard that here!"
"That's alright. She only heard that sentence, so at most she'll just have suspicions, not be sure that we were the ones spreading rumors and slander!"
Jiang Ruonan's tone turned stern: "Don't mention our plan to her at all. If she finds out and something goes wrong, I won't let you off the hook!"
"Don't worry, I absolutely won't utter a single word in front of her!"
Gu Tingchen mustered his courage to make the promise, but cold sweat beaded on his forehead. He cursed inwardly, "I can't let her know. Last time she was here, why did you bring up the idea of giving Fang Xueqing another hard time?"
You are both a human and a ghost; you are always right.
He was feeling very frustrated lately. Apart from that one time when he got Liu Qingyao, he was almost always being drained dry by Jiang Ruonan, leaving him with no extra energy to touch Liu Qingyao.
This perverted middle-aged woman terrified him more and more; every time he received a call from her, he was filled with trepidation.
In the evening, Fang Xueqing received another call from Lin Hao, inviting her to dinner and then to the hotel's presidential suite.
Without a second thought, she immediately refused, citing lack of time, and hung up the phone.
She didn't expose Lin Hao's lies or confront him directly because she wanted to see his true colors.
She had a chance encounter with him years ago, and he pursued her until she accepted his advances and started dating her. She suspected that Lin Hao had approached her with some ulterior motive.
So, she kept Lin Hao in suspense, playing with him slowly until he revealed his true colors.
Ye Tianyu was particularly excited today. After get off work, he went straight to Qin Hao and Ding Xue to tell them about his idea of starting a business in Tianbaoshan Scenic Area.
At the same time, we discussed with the two of them quitting their current jobs and going to manage the restaurant in the Tianbaoshan Scenic Area after it opens, giving them shares in the business.
The two were initially dumbfounded, surprised that Ye Tianyu was so bold as to open a restaurant in the Tianbaoshan Scenic Area.
Later, after hearing that Ye Tianyu had advanced 500,000 yuan in salary and bonuses, and that Fang Xueqing would help him smooth things over with personnel, she was pleasantly surprised and immediately agreed.
Although neither of them had a knack for business, they knew that opening a restaurant exclusively in the Tianbaoshan Scenic Area would definitely make the business boom.
Having shares in the company without having to invest money is definitely better than working for someone else, so naturally people are willing to work hard.
The next day, Ye Tianyu didn't see Fang Xueqing at the company all day.
He was a little confused. Fang Xueqing didn't come to the company; she just went out. Why didn't she ask him to come with her?
When I got off work and returned to Minghua Community, before I had even eaten dinner, I received a call from Fang Xueqing.
Tell him to come to her villa and say that you'll go out to eat together.
Ye Tianyu was a little confused. They hadn't seen each other for a day, and suddenly he was asking to have dinner together in the evening.
Does this count as a date?
He was a little excited and immediately went out to Fang Xueqing's private mansion.
As he entered the living room, Fang Xueqing was waiting for him.
Tonight she wore a purple off-the-shoulder dress, and the gemstone necklace around her neck was dazzling.
Elegant and sexy, yet sophisticated and noble.
Ye Tianyu was stunned.
She was simply otherworldly, a legendary goddess.
"Hey! Haven't you seen enough?"
"It's time to go!"
Fang Xueqing's clear voice rang in his ears.
Ye Tianyu realized his mistake and lost his composure again. He looked embarrassed and followed Fang Xueqing out.
This time, Fang Xueqing didn't take him to a luxurious star-rated hotel, but instead took him to a more romantic Western restaurant.
After sitting down, without asking Ye Tianyu what he wanted to eat, he directly ordered two medium-rare steaks, three appetizers, and a bottle of 1982 Lafite red wine.
Then, Fang Xueqing took a document out of her LV handbag and tossed it to him.
"Hey, I've got the connections at Tianbaoshan Scenic Area sorted out for you. Here's the lease agreement; they've already signed and stamped it. You just need to sign your name."
"The hotel occupies an area of 200 square meters, and the guesthouse occupies an area of 1,000 square meters."
"The annual rent for the two plots of land is 300,000 yuan. You can go there in the next couple of days to build your restaurant and guesthouse."
Wow! So fast?
Ye Tianyu's eyes nearly popped out.
Fang Xueqing is truly decisive and efficient in her actions.
I just got an advance on a year's salary yesterday, and today I've already smoothed things over and even helped him sign the contract.
People with status and position do things differently; it's all about the power of capital.
"So, are you satisfied?"
Fang Xueqing looked at him with a half-smile.
"If I'm not satisfied, then I'm not human!"
Ye Tianyu grinned foolishly, "I was wondering why I didn't see him at the company today. Turns out he went to pull some strings to get the contract signed for me!"
As he spoke, he pointed at her.
"Hey, dinner's on me tonight, don't try to pay the bill!"
"Giggle!"
Fang Xueqing giggled: "Of course, I've done my part, even if I didn't do anything special. Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have insisted that you treat me to this meal!"
Looking at Fang Xueqing's radiant smile, Ye Tianyu suddenly realized that he had become very close to her.
Although their relationship was that of boss and employee, in some ways, it brought them much closer together.
The two enjoyed the meal very much. Fang Xueqing opened up to Ye Tianyu for the first time and talked a lot. Of course, she didn't mention her relationship with Lin Hao.
After finishing their meal, Fang Xueqing drove Ye Tianyu to the entrance of Minghua Residential Area before turning her car around and heading back.
Ye Tianyu watched her drive away until she disappeared from sight before turning and walking towards the gate of the residential area.
"Ye Tianyu!"
Just then, someone called his name.
The voice sounded familiar.
Ye Tianyu suddenly turned his head.
Lin Xueyan was walking towards him with a smile.
"Um?"
"Mr. Lin, what are you doing here?"
Ye Tianyu stared at her in astonishment.
Lin Xueyan, wearing a white backless evening gown, looked even sexier than Fang Xueqing was dressed tonight.
"I'm looking for you!"
"I've been waiting for you here for almost half an hour!"
Lin Xueyan walked up to him and said with a grin, "Just got back from your date with Fang Xueqing?"
"What date? Your first words are full of filthy thoughts!"
Ye Tianyu said irritably, "What do you want from me?"
Because Lin Xueyan, Jiang Ruonan, Liu Qingyao, and others were business partners, he didn't have a good impression of her.
"Of course I'd come to you if I needed something!"
Lin Xueyan pouted and said, "We're already at your doorstep, aren't you going to invite me up for a bit?"
"What?"
"You want to come to my house?"
Ye Tianyu frowned, then waved his hand: "No, it's late at night, a man and a woman alone together will attract gossip, that's not good. Let's talk here!"
"Hehe! You make yourself sound like a gentleman!"
"What do you mean, a lone man and a lone woman? If it were Fang Xueqing, you'd probably have carried her home by now!"
Lin Xueyan started acting spoiled, raising her pretty face and saying, "I'm thirsty. You at least have to invite me in for a glass of water. Otherwise, I won't leave and I'll keep bothering you!"
"Let the people in the neighborhood who know you think you're messing around outside and that a girl is chasing you to your doorstep!"
