Qin Yumo took a deep breath, her chest heaving violently.
She pointed at Du Zhe's nose, her voice trembling slightly.
"Du Zhe, you get out of here right now!"
“I’ll say it again, Mr. Zhou is my client! Mine, from the Sinar Mas Group! If you keep spouting nonsense, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Du Zhe shrank back in fright at Qin Yumo's sharp words, but still held his neck straight, muttering with a wronged look on his face.
"Yumo, how can you be so fierce? I... I'm only doing this for our own good! Think about it, we should keep the good stuff in the family!"
"Zhou Yang is so rich, it doesn't matter where he buys it. Come to my Yulong Auto Dealership, I'll give him the best service and the lowest discount, and the money will still go into our... our future joint account, right?"
The more he talked, the more he felt it made sense, and he even added a touch of smugness, as if to say, "Look how considerate I am of you."
"Pfft!"
Xu Yao couldn't hold back any longer and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth, but her shoulders were trembling, clearly she was having a hard time suppressing her laughter.
Zhou Yang was both amused and exasperated, his lips twitching as he thought to himself that it was a waste of Young Master Du's talent not to perform stand-up comedy.
This logic is so convoluted and convoluted, it leads straight to the Mariana Trench.
What the hell is this joint account?!
What era of domineering CEO novels does this idiot live in? He's saying he doesn't want the good stuff to go to outsiders?
If he steals this client today, I, Qin Yumo, will change my name!
Qin Yumo felt a throbbing sensation in her temples, as if her blood vessels were about to burst.
She knew it was pointless to reason with such a bizarre creature, so she could only suppress her anger and force out a smile that looked worse than a grimace.
"Du Zhe, be good. I know you mean well, and I know you care about me."
Qin Yumo tried to make her voice sound gentler, although it sounded a bit like her back teeth were chattering.
"However, Mr. Zhou is a very, very important guest of our Sinar Mas Group. I personally came to receive him. If you suddenly come and try to poach him like this, it will seem very impolite and will make Mr. Zhou feel that our Sinar Mas Group has not provided adequate service, right?"
As she spoke, she winked at Du Zhe, signaling him to look at Zhou Yang's ambiguous smile.
Du Zhe followed Qin Yumo's gaze and saw Zhou Yang looking at them with amusement, as if he were watching some kind of annual drama.
However, the fact that he didn't sense any male competition from the other person made him feel relieved.
But who cares about that pretty boy? Yumo is still on my side!
"Hmm...it doesn't seem right...it won't work!"
Seeing that he was starting to soften, Qin Yumo pressed on, softening her tone and almost coaxing him.
"How about this, you go back first, or wait for me in my office upstairs. I'll come find you as soon as I've finished what I need to do here, okay?"
Du Zhe originally wanted to argue a few more points, but when he heard Qin Yumo promise to come find him, his face immediately lit up with joy.
Even his eyes lit up, and the previous unpleasantness was instantly forgotten.
"Really? Yumo, you said it! You can't go back on your word! I'll go upstairs and wait for you, or I can go to Yulong Auto Shop to prepare a surprise for you?"
"Go back upstairs to my office and wait for me, okay?"
Qin Yumo was afraid he would cause any more trouble, so she quickly sent him away, saying, "I'll come back after I finish dealing with things here."
"Oh well!"
Du Zhe looked back every few steps, reluctantly leaving the car dealership.
Only after his figure completely disappeared did Qin Yumo let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if half of her strength had been drained from her body.
She rubbed her temples wearily, and when she turned to Zhou Yang and Xu Yao, her face had regained its professional and polite smile, but a trace of helplessness and embarrassment still lingered deep in her eyes.
"Mr. Zhou, Ms. Xu, I'm so sorry to have made you both laugh."
Qin Yumo led Zhou Yang and Xu Yao toward the elevator, preparing to take them to the group's VIP restaurant.
"My fiancé... sigh, he's like a child who hasn't grown up. When he gets angry, not even nine oxen could pull him back. He's really hard to handle."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yang smiled knowingly and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"President Qin, please don't take it to heart. I think Young Master Du is straightforward and has no bad intentions. On the contrary... well, he's quite easy to fool."
He paused, his gaze falling on Qin Yumo's delicate profile, with a hint of teasing.
"If a powerful businesswoman like President Qin were to marry into the Du family, with her methods and wisdom, it wouldn't be difficult for her to manipulate Young Master Du and the entire Du Group at will, would it?"
This guy has a sharp eye, and he's so direct!
Was he targeting me, or was he testing me?
Qin Yumo felt a chill run down her spine, and her opinion of Zhou Yang rose even higher.
Although she came from a wealthy family, Zhou Yang's all-knowing gaze and accurate judgment of the true nature of marriage alliances between wealthy families made her feel that this person was no ordinary person.
Qin Yumo paused slightly, then chuckled self-deprecatingly, a hint of barely perceptible disgust and determination flashing in her watery eyes.
"Mr. Zhou is joking. Someone like Du Zhe... ha, he's not my type at all! This marriage is just a matter of family interests, an arrangement made by those old fogies in the family on their own wishful thinking."
“Mr. Zhou, take a good look. I, Qin Yumo, am not a pawn to be manipulated. I will find a way to dissolve this so-called marriage sooner or later.”
Zhou Yang and Xu Yao exchanged a surprised glance.
I never expected that Mr. Qin would be so candid, even revealing such a private matter.
However, they tacitly refrained from asking too many questions, after all, it was their family matter.
Soon, the three arrived at an elegantly decorated private room.
During the meal, Qin Yumo skillfully changed the subject, subtly trying to find out about Zhou Yang's background and family history.
"Speaking of which, Mr. Zhou, you have achieved so much at such a young age. You must come from a family with a profound and extraordinary academic background. May I ask what your family is involved in..."
Zhou Yang picked up his teacup, took a small sip, smiled calmly, and dealt with the situation with ease.
"President Qin, you flatter me. I'm just a small vendor who got lucky and made a little money by chance. Compared to a woman as privileged as you, President Qin, I'm nothing. My family background is also extremely ordinary. I hope you won't laugh at me."
The more nonchalant he appeared, the more curious Qin Yumo became.
This guy is completely stubborn!
It seems that getting anything out of him won't be easy.
However, this only strengthened her resolve to develop a closer relationship with Zhou Yang.
The meal ended in a fairly harmonious atmosphere.
Seeing that it was almost time, Qin Yumo took the initiative to suggest, "Mr. Zhou, Ms. Xu, shall we go and complete the car pick-up procedures now?"
"Thank you for your help, Mr. Qin."
Zhou Yang nodded in agreement.
The three of them got up and walked out of the restaurant, chatting and laughing.
However, as soon as he stepped out of the restaurant, before he had taken more than a few steps, Zhou Yang's eyes narrowed and a strange smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.
