Chapter 367: Putting the Overall Situation First
Cheng Yian's eyes showed a hint of smile, and he looked like he was joking.
"You two, are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"
He Tingchen was not angry or embarrassed when he heard this. Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
He subconsciously leaned towards Lin Rushang.
Lin Rushuang really wanted to kick He Tingchen out at this moment. She could also negotiate this project by herself.
But it was obvious that Cheng Yian liked He Tingchen. She had noticed it since they were having dinner. Cheng Yian's eyes were always looking in He Tingchen's direction.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
He Tingchen asked Cheng Yian: "Do we look like a couple?"
Lin Rushang reached out and secretly pinched He Tingchen's waist.
Was this man here to chat, or was he here to listen to Cheng Yian's speculation about their relationship?
How come there is no sense of crisis at all?
Cheng Yian held his chin and looked at it carefully. On the surface, it seemed nothing, but Lin Rushang was a woman, and her sensitivity to women was definitely as great as his own.
She could sense Cheng Yian's private discomfort. Some things cannot be seen on the surface, but can be seen from a person's micro-expressions.
Lin Rushuang said with a smile, more like she was joking: "Miss Cheng, you are joking. How can Mr. He and I be a couple? We are not even your boyfriend or girlfriend. A person as outstanding as Mr. He is not something an ordinary person like me can dream of."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yian's brows relaxed. Although it wasn't very obvious just now, Lin Rushang could clearly see that her entire back was relaxed.
Sure enough, it was exactly as she had guessed.
Whether He Tingchen is willing or not, this contract must be obtained.
She took the opportunity to say to Cheng Yian, "Mr. Cheng, if you're almost done eating, let's go first. I'll send you the location of the place you agreed to meet with Mr. He tonight. Would you mind adding me on WeChat?"
"Of course, Miss Lin and I get along very well, and I'll probably chat with you more in the future."
Cheng Yian took out his mobile phone and opened his WeChat code. In fact, he wanted to get to know He Tingchen through Lin Rushuang.
After Lin Rushuang added Cheng Yian, she did not forget to check her own circle of friends. She only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing about He Tingchen in her circle of friends.
Fortunately, He Tingchen doesn't have this need like other men.
She had seen her colleagues in love before, and they would change their profile pictures and post official announcements on their Moments, showing off their affection from time to time, which made Lin Rushuang feel unbearable.
A sentence suddenly pops up in my mind: Show off your affection and you will die quickly.
As a result, within two months, the two broke up. When they broke up, they deleted all the Moments they had posted before.
When the idols met in the company, they were like seeing their enemies and were extremely jealous of each other.
Lin Rushuang doesn't like that kind of dating model. What she hopes most is that when two people are together, they stay together well, and if they break up, they part ways amicably.
There is no need to be too hasty when you are in love, and then make it awkward when you break up, which would also go against the original determination of the two people to be together.
Cheng Yian's eyes narrowed into slits due to her laughter, and she picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth.
"Thank you, Miss Lin."
"It's okay, this is what I should do."
He Tingchen sneered when he saw Lin Rushuang's servile look.
Seeing this, Lin Rushuang kicked He Tingchen's leg in private.
He Tingchen looked back at Lin Rushuang again.
Cheng Yian noticed the wonderful atmosphere between the two people.
"Tingchen, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I'm full. Let's go back first."
"Um."
He Tingchen stood up to pay the bill, and then the group left the restaurant. Cheng Yian was holding roses and carrying perfume, looking like a young girl who had just fallen in love.
With a rosy smile on her face, it is said that people feel refreshed when they are happy, and this is probably the embodiment of it at this moment.
Afterwards, they each took a taxi back to their respective hotels.
As soon as he returned to the room, He Tingchen took off his coat and threw it on the bed. He tugged at his collar irritably, his face tense.
"Qin Yang, you go out first."
Qin Yang subconsciously glanced at the two people.
"yes."
After Qin Yang left, only He Tingchen and Lin Rushuang were left in the room. She asked in confusion.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Lin Rushuang, are we going to discuss the project or sell people today?"
Lin Rushuang was still thinking about whether there was anything that needed to be improved in the plan and how to invest less money.
She murmured.
He Tingchen frowned, the light from the floor-to-ceiling window outside reflected a cold light on the man's face, and he tapped his fingertips lightly on the table.
"Lin Rushuang!"
Lin Rushuang finally came back to her senses, and it seemed as if she remembered what she had just said.
"We're here to discuss a project, but you should know better than me why Cheng Yian wants to work with you. Is she here for the project? She's here for you."
"The project plan is one thing, but what's more important is you. If you don't make her happy, no matter how good the plan is, she can still choose not to sign it."
Lin Rushuang and He Tingchen discussed the matter from completely opposite perspectives.
He Tingchen was talking from an emotional perspective, but Lin Rushuang was talking from a rational perspective. She had only one goal in her mind, which was to get this project done as soon as possible.
It solved the urgent problem of He Tingchen's company.
He Tingchen approached her, and the shadow enveloped her in front of the mirror. She reached out and plucked a strand of hair stuck behind her ear. Her movements were gentle but carried a strong sense of oppression.
"Do I need to sell my body to prove my ability to work?"
"Or do you mean you don't mind at all if I go out drinking with her, or if she treats me or asks me for anything?"
"You're being serious." Lin Rushuang subconsciously turned her head to avoid his burning gaze, her collarbone gleaming like pearls under the light. "You're a man, it's fine if you don't force others. How could a woman force you?"
"Oh, really?" He Tingchen chuckled, his warm breath sweeping over her red earlobe. "In essence, there's no difference between a man wanting a woman and a woman wanting a man."
Lin Rushuang seemed to understand what He Tingchen said. She raised her eyes slightly and saw the man's tense jawline, half of the watch strap exposed from his suit cuffs, and the numbers on the dial reflecting a cold light, just like his bottomless eyes at the moment.
She finally managed to regain some of her emotional composure.
"There's no other way now. You just have to be careful. Besides, a woman like her isn't afraid of being taken advantage of by a man, but you, a man, are still here, guarding against thieves."
"Am I an ordinary man?"
He Tingchen asked Lin Rushuang this question in return.
Lin Rushuang was completely stunned. She thought about it carefully and seemed to have no words to retort because it was indeed the fact.
The look in Cheng Yian's eyes when he looked at He Tingchen revealed a determination to win.
Lin Rushuang didn't want to listen to his jokes, so she asked him seriously.
"Okay, based on your thinking, what should we do now? Cheng Yian has already specifically mentioned that you should go to the appointment alone tonight."
He Tingchen grabbed Lin Rushang's wrist, rubbing the skin between her wrists with his thumb, and the dark tide in his eyes surged more violently.
"So, you can still sell your boyfriend for the project, right?"
Lin Rushuang shook off his hand: "He Tingchen, why are you acting like a child now? Now is not the time to talk about love. You should put aside your negative emotions and think about how to take this project from Cheng Yian."
When He Tingchen saw Lin Rushuang's attitude, a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips.
"Okay, since Sister Lin asked me to put the overall situation first, I will listen to you."
He Tingchen took a step back and distanced himself from Lin Rushuang. Lin Rushuang felt that the air she exhaled from her chest was much fresher at this moment, but she always felt that He Tingchen seemed unhappy.
Although she didn't show it obviously, she felt it.
But she didn't have much time to coax He Tingchen now. What she had to do now was to get the project.
"You get ready first. I'll book a tavern for you. Try to choose a quiet place."
"I can do anything."
He Tingchen did not refuse this time, which surprised Lin Rushang. She couldn't help but look at him again.
