Chapter 28: Chapter 027: Are You Interested in Him?

Facing a laughing Lu Qing, Qin Tian didn’t even know what to say.

Regret oh regret, if only he had known, he wouldn’t have held back, releasing all energies within him, to show Lu Qing what it means to be a man!

But now it was too late to say anything.

”Ah, Lu Qing, you’ve won,” Qin Tian shook his head and took a sip of water.

Lu Qing laughed for a while and said, ”However, Qin Tian, if you really fulfilled my three dreams, and at that time I don’t happen to have a love interest, I might actually consider marrying you.”

”Hmm?” Qin Tian was startled.

”Giving you a little hope is always good,” Lu Qing smiled, ”Besides, you’ve helped me twice during critical moments, and I find hanging out with you quite pleasant, much better than being with those lustful wolves.”

”So you would marry me?” he said. ”That’s a promise then.”

”At least I don’t dislike you, but still, first help me achieve my dreams, hehe, hopefully, I won’t have to wait till the sun rises in the west...”

Qin Tian: ”...”

...

The two talked into the early morning hours, caught up on some sleep, and weren’t up until ten in the morning when a phone ring woke Qin Tian.

On the phone, Wang Dafeng’s voice came through, ”Brother Qin Tian, I’ve prepared the home buying contract, you see, when would you be available to sign today?”

It turned out to be signing time. Qin Tian sneered, they were being more eager about buying than selling, considering they had leverage against them. This was a first for Qin Tian.

”This afternoon,” he said. ”Pick a time, and let me know. Remember, all three of you must be there, and the contract had better be error-free. If there’s even a slight mistake, I’ll make you regret it deeply.”

”Yes, yes, don’t worry, absolutely no mistake. We wouldn’t dare...”

After hanging up, Qin Tian turned and saw that Lu Qing, who was sleeping beside him, also got up; they smiled at each other, time to get up.

Originally, Qin Tian was planning to return to his room to catch up on sleep in the early hours but Lu Qing, claiming to be scared, didn’t let him go. So Qin Tian had no choice but to stay.

Dressed in simple clothes, sharing a blanket, they slept together in one bed. Qin Tian really started to have some thoughts—it was just like something a young couple would do.

But Lu Qing didn’t think the same way; considering Qin Tian just another gay man with no interest in women, she didn’t mind at all and slept quite comfortably. In fact, sleeping next to Qin Tian, she hadn’t had such a good sleep in a long time.

”Qin Tian, when do we return to Zhonghai? I’ll book our flights.”

After getting ready, Lu Qing asked Qin Tian while holding her phone.

”Book a flight? Back to Zhonghai? Why go back?” Qin Tian was taken aback.

Lu Qing also felt it was a bit absurd, ”We came here on a business trip, the mission failed and I still have to go back and write a report. What do you mean ’why go back’? Are we supposed to stay here and vacation instead?”

”Who told you the mission failed?” Qin Tian smiled, internally remarking that he had forgotten to update her, not only did their mission not fail, but it exceeded their goals by more than tenfold!

Hearing Qin Tian’s words, Lu Qing was dumbfounded.

How could it not have failed?

”Qin Tian, can you not look so mysterious...” Lu Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, ”From what you’re implying, you mean the mission didn’t fail? Last night, President Yang... Yang Caifu and his people, after you disrupted everything, do you think they’ll still buy our houses?”

Lu Qing smiled faintly and said, ”Don’t be naive. I know the ways of the business world better than you. Those people, isn’t each one a cunning fox? They say one thing and do another. To get them to buy houses, apart from them being happy about it, either they are gaining some benefits, or they definitely won’t buy.”

”You make a lot of sense,” Qin Tian nodded, ”However, there’s one thing you got wrong, Lu Qing. To get them to buy our houses, apart from them gaining some benefits, there’s another way to make them willingly buy.”

”What way?”

”Hehe, say it nicely, and I’ll tell you.”

”Go to hell, am I not your master anymore? Just tell me already.”

”It’s simple, two words, be dominating.”

”Huh? What do you mean? What’s dominating?”

”Yang Caifu and the three of them are actually the type who bully the weak but fear the strong. Apart from enticing them with benefits, being dominating can handle them too. Look, this morning I got a call from Wang Dafeng wanting to sign the contract with us.”

”Really?”

Hearing Qin Tian’s words, Lu Qing was shocked, ”Qin Tian, are you saying, not only Yang Caifu, but that Wang Dafeng too wants to buy?”

Qin Tian smiled, ”Besides Yang Caifu and Wang Dafeng, there’s also Zheng Wei. The words they said over the drinks, do they think they can just take them back?”

”My god... Qin Tian, you’re not joking with me, right? My god...”

Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, Lu Qing’s adorable mouth stayed agape for a long while, her eyes filled with incredible shock as she glanced at Qin Tian, still in disbelief.

”According to the talk over drinks, Yang Caifu wanted 20 sets, Zheng Wei wanted 20 sets, and Wang Dafeng wanted 30 sets, which was far beyond her expected performance! Before coming to Yunzhou, Lu Qing initially thought securing the 20 sets from Yang Caifu would already be quite an achievement; unexpectedly, in just one night, 20 sets turned into 70 sets!”

Suddenly, Lu Qing was so thrilled that she started to dance around, repeatedly asking Qin Tian to confirm if it was really true.

Qin Tian had said several times that it was true, but Lu Qing did not believe him until Wang Dafeng called again to inform them of the time and place for the afternoon negotiation. Only then was Lu Qing so shocked that she covered her mouth, nearly bursting into tears of joy.

”70 apartments, Qin Tian, you’re so awesome!”

Overjoyed, Lu Qing suddenly hugged Qin Tian tightly.

”Pervert!”

Lu Qing’s cheeks flushed, and she gave Qin Tian a white-eyed look, aware that Qin Tian was just joking. However, she truly felt incredibly happy. This business trip was totally worthwhile; taking Qin Tian as an apprentice was the right decision. In just a few days, he had managed to secure such a huge deal, which was nothing short of miraculous!

Curious, Lu Qing questioned Qin Tian all the way about how he got Yang Caifu and the others to agree to buy the apartments. Naturally, Qin Tian didn’t tell the truth and brushed it off.

Lu Qing paused, saying, ”Qin Tian, tell me honestly, you didn’t sell your body to help me secure those deals, did you?”

”Pfft!”

Qin Tian, who was drinking water, sprayed it out immediately, staring at Lu Qing, dumbfounded.

”Sister Qing, my beautiful master, aren’t you thinking too wildly? Would I need to sell my body, to three old men... I am a man...”

Qin Tian was about to say ”I am a man,” but seeing the meaningful look in Lu Qing’s eyes, he instantly realized she might think he was gay, thinking he went to be a gigolo... Damn it!

The appointed time for the call from Wang Dafeng was two in the afternoon at the Jinfeng Teahouse in the center of Yunzhou City.

After a quick lunch, Qin Tian got ready to leave. Initially, he wanted to take Lu Qing with him, but seeing the hesitant look on her face when leaving, he instantly understood that Lu Qing was probably frightened by the events of the last night and likely didn’t want to see those three old guys anymore.

Thus, Qin Tian suggested going to the negotiation alone and asked Lu Qing to wait for news in the hotel.

”Qin Tian, can you handle it alone? If not, then, then maybe I should go with you,” Lu Qing said, somewhat worried, after all, Qin Tian was still a newbie.

If she really had to go, she was willing to do so.

”Sister Qing, I spoke with them about this business, so of course, I should be the one to go. Whether you go doesn’t matter, right? Since you don’t want to see them, then just don’t go and wait for my news,” he reassured her.

In the hotel room, Qin Tian was getting dressed, and Lu Qing watched him, feeling a soft warmth in her heart and a sense of happiness.

She smiled shyly, then stepped forward to take Qin Tian’s suit out and helped him put it on, her face turning a bit red.

”Sister Qing, what’s wrong?” Qin Tian asked when he noticed Lu Qing’s odd expression.

”No, nothing...” Lu Qing’s heartbeat quickened inexplicably, feeling nervous and hardly able to meet Qin Tian’s gaze.

Could it be that I’ve fallen for him?

That’s not possible! He and I... how could that be, he likes men...

Lu Qing quickly dismissed her strange thoughts.

”If there’s nothing, then take another nap. When you wake up, there should be good news from me. I’m leaving now, Sister Qing.”

After getting dressed, taking the preparatory contract, and other documents, Qin Tian left with his briefcase.

Lu Qing stood still, watching Qin Tian’s back. As he opened the door, ready to leave, she impulsively called out to him.

”Qin Tian.”

”Hmm, what’s up, Sister Qing?” Qin Tian turned, puzzled.

”You’re really wonderful.”

Having said that, she smiled, feeling her heartbeat quicken and her cheeks flush.

”Hehe, Sister Qing, I see your forehead shining and cheeks reddening. You must be having a lucky romantic streak. Cough, cough, that said, you couldn’t possibly have a crush on me, right?” Qin Tian chuckled while looking at the bashful Lu Qing.

”Who likes you? You’re gay, just get lost, hurry up and go!”

Feeling uncomfortably seen through by Qin Tian, as if he could discern her feelings, Lu Qing blushed and quickly pushed Qin Tian out the door, then slammed it shut with a ”bang.”

”Phew!”

She took a long, deep breath and touched her hot cheeks.

With fluttering eyes and pursed lips, Lu Qing murmured in disbelief:

”Could it be that I actually have feelings for him?”
