Lin Ying did not answer Hua Shixin. She looked at Qin Han Chu and asked obediently, "Fiancé, what do you say?"
"I'm petty and don't allow you to have any other male friends." Qin Han Chu put on a displeased expression.
Seeing Qin Han Chu's "tsundere" expression, Lin Ying couldn't help but say with a chuckle, "My fiancé disagrees, so I can only apologize."
After speaking, the two ignored Hua Shixin and walked forward together.
Looking at their retreating figures, a gloom flashed in Hua Shixin's eyes.
"What's your evaluation of this senior?" Lin Ying asked after they had walked some distance away.
Qin Han Chu said casually, "He seems polite, but actually, he's very hypocritical."
"How so?" Lin Ying asked.
"He's clearly lusting after you, yet he says he can still be friends even if he doesn't pursue you."
"With so many girls in school, why did he come to you to be friends? Isn't it because you're as beautiful as a celestial being?" Qin Han Chu said.
Hearing Qin Han Chu say she was as beautiful as a celestial being, Lin Ying felt very happy.
Even though Qin Han Chu was just stating a fact.
"Then, do you lust after me?" Lin Ying lowered her voice and asked, leaning closer to Qin Han Chu.
Cough cough…
Qin Han Chu was still a virgin, how could he withstand such a bombshell question?
He blushed and said, "If I say I don't lust after you, then I wouldn't be a normal man."
"Be good, and maybe you'll get to taste it." Lin Ying said, then quickened her pace with light steps.
…
Golden Lion Group.
Jin Hailu was working in her office at the moment.
Bang bang!
The secretary knocked on the door and then rushed in saying, "President Jin, someone from Hong Kong Dragon Ascent Group wants to see you."
"Hong Kong Dragon Ascent Group?" Jin Hailu found the name very familiar, but she couldn't recall it for a moment.
"I just checked. Dragon Ascent Group is one of the top five consortiums in Hong Kong, with a market value of around five hundred billion," the secretary said solemnly.
Hong Kong is a renowned international financial center, home to many trillion-dollar consortiums.
For Dragon Ascent Group to be among the top five in Hong Kong, it was absolutely terrifying.
"Long Wanshan!" Jin Hailu stood up in surprise. Long Wanshan, the chairman of Dragon Ascent Group, was a legend.
Why would this trillion-dollar consortium come looking for her?
"Yes, the chairman of Dragon Ascent Group is indeed Long Wanshan," the secretary nodded.
After a moment of thought, Jin Hailu decided to go down to greet them herself.
If she could reach a cooperation with Dragon Ascent Group, it would be of great help to Golden Lion Group.
In the lobby on the first floor, Long Yueguang sat casually in the lounge area.
Two bodyguards wearing black sunglasses exuded an imposing aura.
Just then, the elevator doors not far away opened.
Jin Hailu, dressed in a professional skirt suit, walked towards Long Yueguang with an elegant and graceful stride.
"So beautiful, I didn't expect Golden Lion Group to have such a beautiful woman."
Seeing Jin Hailu, Long Yueguang sat up straight abruptly.
His eyes were filled with stunned admiration.
"Hello, I am the chairman of Golden Lion Group, Jin Hailu." Jin Hailu smiled professionally as she approached Long Yueguang.
"I didn't expect the chairman of Golden Lion Group to be so young and so stunningly beautiful." Long Yueguang smiled, stood up, and then took Jin Hailu's hand.
Feeling the smoothness of her palm, Long Yueguang found it incredibly wonderful.
Jin Hailu was the first to withdraw her hand. She politely asked, "And you are?"
"Hehe… allow me to introduce myself."
"My name is Long Yueguang, and I am the nephew of the chairman of Dragon Ascent Group." Long Yueguang's demeanor showed an air of superiority.
Jin Hailu asked with some confusion, "I've heard of Chairman Long Wanshan's great name. May I know what advice you have for our company?"
"Our Dragon Ascent Group is going to undertake several real estate projects in Island City, so we need to find some partners."
"Coming to Golden Lion Group is like an initial inspection," Long Yueguang said with a smile.
Jin Hailu did not feel excited. She said calmly, "How about this, let's go to the reception room to chat slowly."
"Alright," Long Yueguang nodded with a smile.
A few minutes later, they were all seated in the reception room.
After serving tea, Jin Hailu asked, "May I know what kind of partners Dragon Ascent Group is looking for?"
"Building materials, engineering, landscaping – all of these are needed," Long Yueguang said, crossing his legs. "As far as I know, Golden Lion Group is also in the hardware and building materials business, right?"
Jin Hailu nodded, "Of course."
"Does Golden Lion Group have any intention of cooperating?" Long Yueguang asked.
Jin Hailu said, "Dragon Ascent Group is a trillion-dollar group, and cooperating with you is not a simple matter."
"Naturally. How many groups want to cooperate with us." Long Yueguang said with a smile, "However, the power to find partners is in my hands. As long as I approve, the head office won't have much of a problem."
Hearing this, Jin Hailu understood Long Yueguang's intentions.
He wasn't here to inspect at all, but to cast bait and demand benefits.
"Don't you need to bid?" Jin Hailu asked knowingly.
"With me in charge, bidding is just a formality, isn't it?" Long Yueguang said meaningfully.
"What are your conditions? How much kickback do you need?" Jin Hailu asked.
"How about this, let's have dinner together tonight, and we can talk more then," Long Yueguang said with a smile.
Jin Hailu refused directly, "I'm sorry, I never discuss business over drinks."
"Is Chairman Jin afraid I'll get you drunk?" Long Yueguang said with a hint of displeasure.
If it were someone else, they would have used another excuse to cover up, but Jin Hailu nodded directly, "After all, I am a woman, so I won't go to some dangerous places."
Long Yueguang waved his hand, and the bodyguard behind him placed a business card on the table.
"Please reconsider. If you want to cooperate with Dragon Ascent Group, you can call me."
"Please see them out," Jin Hailu said to her secretary.
Led by the secretary, Long Yueguang and his party left the reception room.
After a while, the secretary returned.
"Chairman, should we check his identity?" the secretary asked.
Jin Hailu shook her head, "No need to check. I don't intend to cooperate with Dragon Ascent Group."
"Why?" the secretary asked curiously.
"There's no need to go out of my way to curry favor with him. If Dragon Ascent Group holds an open bid, then it's not too late to try," Jin Hailu said.
At this time, Long Yueguang had already left Golden Lion Group.
"I didn't expect the chairman of Golden Lion Group to be so beautiful. It would be great if I could sleep with her."
"If she were born in Hong Kong, then the business world of Hong Kong would be a scene of five great beauties vying for attention." Long Yueguang's eyes held a greedy glint, and he licked his lips.
"She doesn't seem to care much about the cooperation with Dragon Ascent Group," one of the bodyguards said.
"She just doesn't believe my identity. Once she finds out everything, she won't be so calm anymore," Long Yueguang said confidently.
"As long as she wants to cooperate with Dragon Ascent Group, Young Master Long will have a chance to win her over," another bodyguard said with a smile.
"In Hong Kong, I might not be considered a big shot. But in Island City, even major groups like the Su family have to flatter me," Long Yueguang said proudly.
