Lin Qingtong was not afraid at all and answered with a charming smile.
"Isn't it good to keep public and private matters separate? I don't have the habit of owing anything to others."
She immediately transferred the money to Shen Tinghe, her light-colored pupils gazing at him like amber.
"Come find me if you need more money."
Her tone was very bold, like a rich woman keeping a gigolo.
Shen Tinghe seemed to remember something, his expression changed slightly, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.
"You're quite skilled at this, but how many gigolos are you keeping on the side?"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he said this.
Lin Qingtong cupped her cheek with her slender, green fingers and smiled with interest.
"What, are you jealous? If you don't mind, I'd be more than willing to continue supporting Mr. Shen."
Her gaze suddenly fell on Shen Tinghe's long legs, and she lowered her voice.
"After all, it's hard to find someone as good in bed as Mr. Shen, so I'm a little reluctant to part with him."
Lin Qingtong is usually the best at verbal sparring; she's rebellious and doesn't want to lose to anyone.
Only Shen Tinghe could hear her; even Grandpa Cai across from her couldn't.
Shen Tinghe stared intently at Lin Qingtong with his dark pupils, a cold smile suddenly curving his thin lips.
Aren't you afraid I'll take it seriously?
Lin Qingtong felt a tightness in her heart when she saw his gaze, but she was unwilling to admit defeat and answered stubbornly.
"Whoever is afraid is a puppy."
Shen Tinghe smiled and looked down, as if everything around him had dimmed. When he looked up again, he reached out and grabbed Lin Qingtong's slender wrist.
"You're going to be a puppy."
He pulled Lin Qingtong to her feet and strode toward the dilapidated office building, ignoring the stares of everyone around them.
Luo Susu covered her mouth in surprise as she watched the scene unfold before her. She recognized Shen Tinghe.
Good heavens, it seems she's found out something incredible!!
She didn't go far after leaving the office. She ate something downstairs and then planned to buy some things to take back to the company, which she could also use as a stepping stone.
While she was squatting by the roadside eating a fried dough stick, she witnessed this scene. Luo Susu quickly realized what was happening and turned to warn the others.
"You can't tell anyone about what I saw with Shen Tinghe today, understand?"
These people always listened to Luo Susu's words, so they readily agreed.
Lin Qingtong was dragged by Shen Tinghe into the dimly lit stairwell of the office building, where the air was thick with a stuffy atmosphere.
Lin Qingtong tried to break free, but Shen Tinghe strode forward with an undeniable air, heading straight for Su Kai Furniture's warehouse.
He led Lin Qingtong into the warehouse, locked the door behind him, unbuttoned his suit jacket with one hand, and walked towards the bed next to him.
Shen Tinghe remained silent, but Lin Qingtong panicked. She was just joking; how could she have taken it so seriously?
Lin Qingtong stepped back warily, offering an awkward smile and explanation.
"How about I introduce these furniture pieces to Mr. Shen and we can discuss some collaborations? Our furniture is of very high quality and can be used in projects like Tenghai Real Estate."
Shen Tinghe threw his suit jacket on the mattress and slowly approached, exuding an aura of oppression.
"At a time like this, you're still thinking about cooperation?"
Lin Qingtong's smile was incredibly awkward. "It's all for making money, Mr. Shen. Please consider it. I'll give you a 20% discount."
Shen Tinghe had already come up to her. The two were very close, and Lin Qingtong could clearly see his thick eyelashes.
Seeing Shen Tinghe reach out his hand, Lin Qingtong was so frightened that she immediately begged for mercy: "Okay, I'm a puppy, please don't touch me!!"
Shen Tinghe suddenly laughed out loud; his laughter was clear and pleasant.
"You don't think I'm going to do anything to you, do you? I'm afraid you're not that charming."
He reached out and turned on the light switch behind Lin Qingtong, and the dimly lit warehouse suddenly lit up, revealing a series of classic-style beds.
Shen Tinghe lifted Lin Qingtong's chin with his fingers, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Didn't you say you wanted to discuss cooperation? Let's begin the introduction."
Lin Qingtong was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and got into work mode, introducing the materials, design concepts, and usage of the furniture to Shen Tinghe.
Shen Tinghe quietly watched Lin Qingtong, who was working in front of him, a half-smile playing on his lips.
In the end, Shen Tinghe actually finalized the collaboration with Lin Qingtong.
As the two walked out of the warehouse, Geng Xiangmei was standing at the door with her men, their eyes filled with mockery and fervor.
Lin Qingtong felt uncomfortable under that gaze and hurriedly explained.
"Hurry up and pour Mr. Shen some water. He said he wants to cooperate with our Sukai Furniture. We just negotiated a 50 million yuan contract."
"Everyone will receive a bonus for this collaboration."
In that instant, Geng Xiangmei and the other two employees gasped in shock, their eyes shining as they looked at Lin Qingtong.
They originally thought Lin Qingtong was just here to gain experience, but they didn't expect her to actually do real work. Moreover, she even gave them a bonus for the first order she secured.
Surrounded by such gazes, Lin Qingtong smiled broadly.
"As long as you all do your jobs well from now on, you'll definitely get your share of the rewards!"
She raised her hand and waved it in mid-air, her posture and appearance exactly like a leader making empty promises.
Night fell over the brightly lit villa as Lin Qingtong, in her high heels, cheerfully stepped into the Jiang family home.
She paused, then saw that the ground was a mess, almost impossible to step on, and servants were busy around.
As for Madam Jiang and Jiang Hao, they were standing in the living room, staring at the servants' actions with gloomy expressions.
Madam Jiang scolded with a sour face, "Be careful, this thing is very expensive. Can you afford to pay for it if you break it?"
