Luo Susu immediately came to her senses and gave an awkward laugh as she explained.
"Since you already know, Sister Qingtong, then the one million..."
Lin Qingtong waved her hand dismissively and said with a light laugh, "It's alright, just take it. Don't tell anyone, okay?"
"It's getting late, go have some breakfast."
She casually told Luo Susu to go eat breakfast, while she sat there lost in thought.
Lin Qingtong looked at the call interface with Shen Tinghe, and finally dialed Shen Tinghe's number.
After a few beeps, Shen Tinghe's deep voice came through.
"Why did you suddenly decide to call me?"
Lin Qingtong curled her lips into a cold smile and said directly and decisively, "You came back last night."
Shen Tinghe tried to explain, but Lin Qingtong's words shut him down.
"I already know."
So Shen Tinghe didn't say anything, but just smiled lightly and spoke.
"Since you already know, I'll just admit it."
"I did come back last night. I had something important to do and needed to keep my whereabouts hidden for the time being. Please keep today's events a secret."
"I've already transferred 200 million to you. I hope to see your new company when I come back."
These words reached Lin Qingtong's ears, but she didn't care much about the money. She simply pursed her lips and asked further.
"When are you coming back?"
A smile of interest appeared in Shen Tinghe's eyes at Lin Qingtong's sudden concern.
"What? Are you worried about me?"
Lin Qingtong seemed uncomfortable with this way of interacting with Shen Tinghe, after all, they had always been at odds before.
Although they are officially boyfriend and girlfriend, she knows better than anyone else what their relationship truly is.
Even though the two had slept together a few times, Lin Qingtong still couldn't completely open her heart to him.
However, they can be completely trusted.
"How could I possibly care about you?"
Lin Qingtong gave a stubborn laugh in rebuttal, then deliberately spoke casually.
"If you don't come back, I'll have to take half of your assets."
I thought Shen Tinghe would be angry, but I didn't hear him say anything casually.
"Sure, they're all yours."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong's heart skipped a beat, as if she could see the expression etched on Shen Tinghe's face through the phone screen.
It was a smile, yet tinged with joy.
Lin Qingtong's ears burned, and it took her a while to utter a single sentence.
"So, should I thank you?"
Shen Tinghe said without any politeness, "It's alright, no need to thank me."
Lin Qingtong snorted coldly, "You wish! You left me with a mess and came back yourself."
Shen Tinghe nodded: "I will definitely come back safe and sound. Then I will take you on a trip to an overseas island."
After he finished speaking, Lin Qingtong was speechless for a moment, because his words were full of doting affection.
Finally, Lin Qingtong hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingtong felt a strange sensation welling up in her chest, like a tangled mess of yarn.
She knew perfectly well that there was absolutely no possibility between her and Shen Tinghe.
But sometimes I still get caught up in it.
Lin Qingtong sat on the castle-like terrace with her eyes lowered, and suddenly let out a long sigh.
It'll be about time before Shen Tinghe returns; then it's time to draw a clear line.
Lin Qingtong quickly tidied herself up and went out to find the people at Weiyang Laboratory to discuss cooperation. She was going to visit their laboratory today.
If the site is not suitable, I'm afraid I'll have to provide them with a new experimental location.
I need to go to that plot of land this afternoon to find a suitable and reliable design team.
In the morning, Lin Qingtong visited the laboratory. Fortunately, their equipment and facilities were relatively new, and there was nothing that needed to be relocated.
However, Lin Qingtong still promised Mu Chuan that she would set up a laboratory for them in the new location, hoping that they could come up with a concrete plan as soon as possible.
Mu Chuan couldn't help but ask expectantly, "When will the company you mentioned be established?"
Lin Qingtong smiled gently, "I will use the most environmentally friendly materials for a month to ensure everything in the factory is in good condition."
"Anyway, as long as you have money, you can do it anytime."
Looking at Lin Qingtong in front of him, Mu Chuan felt a strange sense of trust and admiration in his eyes.
"I look forward to that day."
After leaving the laboratory, Lin Qingtong went to the location of the land alone.
As she looked around, she saw that the area was desolate, with tall grasses growing almost half a person's height.
She sat on a large rock and casually picked up a stone next to her and threw it into the grass.
He initially thought there was no one in the bushes, but unexpectedly, a cry of pain rang out.
"Who is it that throws stones for no reason?"
Lin Qingtong was stunned for a moment, and then saw a handsome, roguish figure emerge from the bushes.
His face was initially filled with anger, but his eyes lit up the moment he saw Lin Qingtong.
"Miss Lin, what are you doing here?"
Lin Qingtong climbed down from the large rock, sunlight dappling his shoulders, his face showing a distant and indifferent expression.
“This is the land I bought; it is you who trespassed on my territory.”
Her chin was slightly raised, and she stood on a slightly higher spot, resembling a beautifully blooming red rose.
Huo Xingyu stood up from the bushes, dusted off non-existent dust, and slowly approached.
"What a coincidence! This used to be my family's land. It was just sold a few days ago. You were the sucker who bought it."
