"Oh, her? Her name is Yang Zimo. She's one of the people who came to visit my Shield Locker products this time," Qin Chuan explained with a playful smile as he turned to look at Yang Zimo.
Having heard Qin Chuan say earlier that she would be considered one of the visitors today, Yang Zimo wasn't surprised by his words. Instead, she cooperatively added, "That's right, I'm here to visit the electronic locker products developed by Xinhua Electronics Factory."
"Little sister, what's your name? You're so beautiful!" However, Teacher Yang was no ordinary person. After cooperating with Qin Chuan, she immediately turned to Shang Honglian and asked. Shang Honglian was truly beautiful, exuding an aura of youthful vitality. Such beauty was rare even in big cities, let alone in a small town like Yongnan County. For a beautiful girl like this to appear by Qin Chuan's side, as his girlfriend, Yang Zimo naturally had to pay attention.
"My name is Shang Honglian!" Shang Honglian replied. "Sister, you're the one who's beautiful. I've never seen a beauty as lovely as you." Shang Honglian looked at Yang Zimo with admiration. As women, they both knew that Yang Zimo's smooth, fair, and tender skin was something most women dreamed of. Moreover, Yang Zimo's inherent nobility and elegance were qualities many women could only aspire to.
"Hehe, you have such a sweet mouth, little sister. Are you still studying?" Yang Zimo chuckled.
"No, I've already graduated from university and am working in Beijing now."
Along the way, Yang Zimo and Shang Honglian chatted animatedly, finding much to talk about. Before they knew it, the Tiger Head Benz had arrived at their destination.
"There! Brother Qin Chuan, look! Boss Liu is over there!" Shang Honglian exclaimed excitedly from the car. Qin Chuan also spotted Liu Dongqiang and a young man standing by the roadside. There was also a Beijing-plated SUV parked nearby.
"Boss Liu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!" Qin Chuan quickly drove the car closer and got out.
"It's alright, we just arrived too." Liu Dongqiang's eyes lit up with excitement upon seeing Qin Chuan. He truly admired this young man, who was younger than himself, for his talent in various aspects and his unique insights into the future of the internet and e-commerce industries, which had greatly benefited him.
"Boss, Happy New Year!"
"Brother Baozi, Happy New Year!" Shang Honglian chirped as she bounced out of the car.
"Happy New Year, Honglian!" Liu Dongqiang and the dark-skinned young man greeted her with smiles.
"Red envelopes! Red envelopes!" Shang Honglian rubbed her two fair, tender fingers together, a gesture that made everyone laugh.
"Haha, Baozi, see if I was right? Honglian would definitely ask me for a New Year's red envelope as soon as we met!" Liu Dongqiang said to the young man beside him. The young man, called Baozi, chuckled along.
Suddenly, their smiles froze, and their gazes fixed on the side. Yang Zimo had also emerged from the car. As Qin Chuan had said, wherever she went, Ms. Yang was destined to be the center of attention. Her breathtaking beauty and elegant, noble demeanor made her the perfect leading lady.
"Mr. Qin, who is this...?" Liu Dongqiang asked in a low voice, his eyes wide with admiration.
"Her name is Yang Zimo. She's also here to visit the Shield Lockers. She arrived a little earlier than you," Qin Chuan introduced.
"Hello, my name is Liu Dongqiang!" Liu Dongqiang stepped forward enthusiastically, extending his hand for a handshake.
"Hello!" Yang Zimo replied coolly, then remained still, as if she hadn't noticed Liu Dongqiang's outstretched hand. This was her normal demeanor in public, especially around strangers. As the pampered daughter of a provincial energy magnate, the Yang family, she was accustomed to flattery and respect, and countless people had sought to know her. Yang Zimo had long since grown used to it.
Sensing Yang Zimo's aloof attitude, Liu Dongqiang wasn't bothered. He naturally retracted his outstretched arm and resumed his conversation with Qin Chuan. Having navigated the business world for so many years, he had encountered all sorts of people and was unfazed by such things.
"Boss, why are you here too?" Just then, a familiar large Mercedes pulled onto the road, followed by two other luxury cars. The Mercedes stopped, and the window rolled down, revealing Ge Lan from the marketing department driving, with Liu Shengli, the head of the administrative department, in the passenger seat.
"I'm here to pick up some friends who have traveled a long way from Beijing," Qin Chuan replied. "What about you guys...?"
"Oh, the factory manager sent us to pick up another group of guests who have traveled far. They're all here to visit our products," Ge Lan explained.
Qin Chuan's eyes lit up. "So many people are here today?"
"Yes, this is already the third group. According to the franchising department, there are fifteen clients who have scheduled to visit us today," Ge Lan said, unable to hide his excitement. This was undeniably great news. After all the advertising and investment, the time for rewards had finally arrived. These clients, who had traveled from afar to visit their products, were almost certainly interested in franchising with Shield Locker. Who in their right mind would come all this way otherwise?
"Excellent, excellent! Then let's all head back to the electronics factory now!" Qin Chuan's heart was filled with joy.
"Boss Liu, follow us. Let's go!"
"Honglian, your boss hasn't given you your New Year's red envelope yet. Go sit in his car so he can't go back on his word!"
"Hehe, okay!" Shang Honglian's face was filled with mischief.
Liu Dongqiang let out a helpless smile. "As if I'd really renege!"
"Who knows? Hurry up and get in the car!" Shang Honglian urged. Liu Dongqiang had no choice but to quickly get into his car, feeling a newfound pressure. He had witnessed everything just now. Qin Chuan hadn't lied to him; the Shield Locker was indeed coveted by many, and they were all powerful individuals. If he was too late, he might not get the first spot.
Soon, the convoy set off together, heading towards Xinhua Electronics Factory. On the road, Yang Zimo looked at the young man focused on driving, a sweet smile gracing her delicate face, a stark contrast to her cold demeanor when she first got out of the car.
"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile, noticing Ms. Yang's gaze.
"Hehe, I was just thinking how lucky I am to have come at the perfect time. Perhaps I'll accidentally witness history being made!" Yang Zimo said with a smile.
"What history?" Qin Chuan asked.
"The historical development of Shield Locker!" Yang Zimo said enthusiastically. "If Shield Locker becomes a big and strong enterprise in the future, today's scene will be its starting cup! And I'll be the witness!"
