What happens when two passionate young people come together?
Many young couples in love have experienced it: unable to leave each other's side for three to five times a day.
Some exceptionally energetic individuals have even reached double digits, relying on their youthful vigor and abundant energy, pushing their limits relentlessly.
Qin Chuan wasn't that kind of young man, nor was he an exceptionally energetic person. Thus, after only five times, he was completely spent. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but he simply had nothing left.
As the saying goes, "Youth doesn't know the value of essence; old age weeps with regret."
He and Alisa spent the entire day in the hotel, ordering lunch and dinner to be delivered to their room by room service.
Alisa, perhaps having been without a man for a long time, was incredibly fervent, and the result was a mutual exhaustion.
Qin Chuan became "Qin Xiaoruan" (Little Soft Qin) as he clutched his lower back, while Alisa also felt weak all over, becoming a boneless, wobbly shrimp.
The next day, they finally left the hotel, holding hands and visiting many places.
Alisa bought Qin Chuan several sets of clothes, from innerwear to outerwear. Qin Chuan wasn't stingy either, buying Alisa bags and cosmetics.
They truly acted like a couple who had been in love for a long time, romantically traversing many beautiful scenic spots.
By the third day, Alisa had to attend to some matters at her company.
Her phone had been almost entirely off for the past two days, only turned on in the evenings, with a constant stream of messages and calls.
"Alisa, I've booked a western dinner at Dior'd. I'll be waiting for you tonight."
Qin Chuan said to Alisa, who was preparing to go to work.
Dior'd was a very famous high-end western restaurant, renowned throughout Los Angeles. Of course, it was also extremely expensive, far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Thank you, darling!"
"I'll be back on time!"
Alisa kissed Qin Chuan on the cheek, a look of pure joy on her face as she left the hotel.
After Alisa left, Qin Chuan took a taxi to where Fang Rumei and the others were staying.
He had been away for three full days, not even making an appearance.
When Qin Chuan appeared before Fang Rumei, Bai Xiaoguang, and Yao Dong, their reactions varied.
Bai Xiaoguang and Yao Dong were naturally delighted, while Fang Rumei's expression held a peculiar intensity. She scrutinized Qin Chuan from head to toe, even leaning in to sniff him.
"What are you doing? Do I smell of something?"
Qin Chuan asked, confused.
Inside, however, he was secretly smug. What a joke. If he was going to indulge in infidelity, as an experienced scumbag, how could he possibly lack the necessary knowledge?
He had meticulously cleaned himself before arriving, leaving no trace.
Fang Rumei was, after all, Teacher Yang's friend. If she found out he had been unfaithful, and then told Teacher Yang, it would be disastrous.
"I thought that fox spirit named Alisa had sucked you dry these past three days!"
Fang Rumei said.
"Speak, confess honestly. What exactly did you and that vixen do these past three days?"
"As Zi Mo's friend, I have the right to supervise you while you're abroad."
The others also looked on with curiosity.
Qin Chuan sat down and shrugged innocently, "Of course, I was working!"
"The news from the Di Meng company has been confirmed: they are to be acquired by S3. Alisa was in a very bad mood these past three days, and I accompanied her to relax for three days."
"But don't misunderstand, I did all this for our mutual benefit."
"These past three days, trying to cheer Alisa up, I must have exhausted countless brain cells and lost a lot of hair. If you don't believe me, look!"
Qin Chuan lowered his head, displaying his luxuriant hair to everyone.
Fang Rumei recoiled in disgust, muttering, "Who wants to see your hair!"
"What did you just say? Is Di Meng company really going to be acquired by S3?"
Qin Chuan nodded, "Absolutely true."
"This is actually good news for us."
"If Di Meng company isn't acquired by S3, it will be incredibly difficult for us to poach their talent. Now is definitely a great opportunity."
Guo Zixian asked eagerly, "Then, Boss Qin, have you confronted Alisa? Have you revealed our objective?"
Qin Chuan shook his head, "It's not that fast. Trust and feelings between people are built gradually. Nothing can be rushed, or it will all be for naught."
"I understand that principle, but we've been in Los Angeles for a full week, and there's been no progress. It's really making me anxious!"
Guo Zixian said.
Fang Rumei sat aside, silent but her expression spoke volumes.
They had been in Los Angeles for a full week, intending to poach talent, yet there had been no progress. Anyone would find it hard to remain calm.
Back home, a mountain of matters awaited their attention. As the boss of a company, who wouldn't be anxious after being away for so long?
Originally, they had two targets: Karl and Alisa.
But after the nightclub incident, there was no hope for Karl. Now, only Alisa remained.
And Alisa had always been Qin Chuan's responsibility, making his role particularly crucial. The success of their trip to Los Angeles hinged on him.
If even Qin Chuan failed, then this entire endeavor would be in vain!
Not only would their time and money be wasted, but they would return with nothing.
"Tonight, I've invited Alisa to have dinner at Dior'd. I plan to extend our invitation to her then."
Qin Chuan, after a long period of contemplation, announced his plans for the evening.
Fang Rumei, Guo Zixian, and the others, who had been anxious, suddenly had their eyes light up with surprise.
However, this was quickly replaced by nervousness and apprehension.
It was like online dating. Before meeting, there were all sorts of anticipations and fantasies, but when the time and place were set for the meeting, nervousness and anxiety set in.
Because before meeting, they had only fantasized about each other's perfections – how gentle and beautiful, or how handsome and humorous they were. But as the moment of meeting approached, they became anxious and uneasy.
What if the other person was unattractive, not their ideal prince charming or princess?
Often, it was better not to meet, allowing them to retain a sliver of fantasy, unbroken by reality.
Qin Chuan noticed Fang Rumei, Guo Zixian, and the others' nervousness and apprehension, and smiled to comfort them, "Don't worry. Since I dared to invite Alisa, it means I have a certain degree of confidence!"
"Even if we fail in Los Angeles this time, we still have South Korea. Our original plan already accounted for the possibility of failure."
Reassured by Qin Chuan's words, Fang Rumei, who had been tense, broke into a smile, exuding a captivating charm.
"I was too impatient!"
"Qin Chuan, you're absolutely right. We were mentally prepared for failure before we left. If it fails, it's no big deal. We can just make another trip to South Korea!"
Qin Chuan clapped his hands, "That's the spirit! As businessmen, we should always maintain a good mindset."
"Unmoved by mounting pressure, and remaining calm even when faced with mountains of gold and silver!"
