Chapter 11: Naive Shen Qing
Shen Qing had just returned from work at the company. From yesterday until now, she had been trying to contact Ye Fan to explain what had happened with Chu Chen.
Furthermore, the news that Chu Chen had purchased the Haining Building Materials City had spread, causing a great stir in Jianghai.
This second-generation rich man had gone as far as buying the Haining Building Materials City to force her to beg him. Did he really treat her like money instead of as a person? Does he truly believe that he can do whatever he wants with money?
Shen Qing would never give in.
Due to Chu Chen's actions, the Shen family's qualification to enter the Building Materials City was ruined. The entire family was very upset. Shen Qing wanted to prove her worth even more, so today she focused specifically and managed to secure two orders worth over a million yuan. Tomorrow, she had a meeting with Guo Qiangshun, the CEO of Longteng Real Estate, to discuss a comprehensive partnership.
Longteng Real Estate is one of the top ten real estate companies in Jianghai with great financial strength. If she could become the main partner of Longteng Real Estate, the Shen family could still develop, even without the qualification to enter Haining Building Materials City.
Shen Qing worked hard to fight against the bad Chu Chen until the end.
As soon as she arrived home, she heard Ye Fan's voice from behind: "Shen Qing!"
Shen Qing turned around and saw Ye Fan hurrying toward her on his electric motorcycle. She immediately showed joy. Why was Ye Fan here? Had he forgiven himself?
Indeed, Ye Fan's electric motorcycle stopped in front of her, and without bothering to put down the kickstand, he jumped off and let the motorcycle fall to the ground. He immediately looked at Shen Qing and said excitedly: "Shen Qing, I'm sorry, Ruoxue found me a moment ago. I told her the whole truth, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have misunderstood you, and I should have believed you."
"Ye Fan, I'm glad you understand."
Shen Qing's eyes filled with tears.
"I..."
Thinking of the injustice she had suffered, she couldn't hold back and began to cry.
"Shen Qing, I don't care that he intimidated you. I, Mark, want to marry you. You will always be the purest in my heart."
Ye Fan made a solemn promise.
Shen Qing was deeply moved and tears welled up in her eyes.
...
In this way, the two were together again. Shen Qing was particularly motivated and wanted to show Chu Chen. She was even more eager about the meeting with Guo Qiangshun the following day.
Guo Qiangshun was also a wealthy local man in Jianghai, and he knew Shen Wansan and had some friendship with him.
Therefore, Shen Qing was particularly confident about the meeting with Guo Qiangshun.
On the other hand, Chu Chen and Xia Qingqing drove to Jianghai's pedestrian street for a stroll. Xia Qingqing finally saw the grandeur of Chu Chen. In addition to the Fengming street she had seen before, this busier pedestrian street in Jianghai was also full of Chu Chen's influence.
No matter what store Chu Chen took her to, they were greeted with the highest level of service, and the managers suddenly appeared to become sycophants.
Chu Chen lifted his feet and said his shoes were dirty. Someone from security immediately knelt on the ground to clean them. If he said he was tired, someone would immediately bring a sofa and press his back. He said he wanted to eat Mahua from Yangliu Street, and someone immediately drove twenty kilometers to get it for him.
This grandson of the Jiangnan king was almost like an emperor in Jianghai.
At that moment, Xia Qingqing noticed that it was getting dark, and Chu Chen had no intention of sending her back. He probably really wanted her tonight. She looked around and saw no one around, so she approached Chu Chen and whispered: "Chu Chen, I... I really can't do that tonight."
"That's it? What a coincidence?"
Chu Chen's face immediately showed disgust.
Xia Qingqing went into the fitting room and came out with a bloodstained diaper.
When Chu Chen saw that Xia Qingqing was really here, he could only wait until she was finished. However, he still coldly told Xia Qingqing: "That's it, come to Hongye Villa alone."
Xia Qingqing nodded, thinking that every level was a step by step, one step at a time.
Later, when Chu Chen saw that Xia Qingqing was here and it was inconvenient that night, he had no interest in taking her shopping, so he sent her back to Jiangnan Palace.
Xia Qingqing saw through Chu Chen directly. Was this so realistic?
...
The next afternoon, Shen Qing arrived at the exterior of Longteng Real Estate headquarters as scheduled, with an extremely firm determination. Looking at the imposing building, Shen Qing felt encouraged.
Shen Qing, you can do this.
After reporting her name at the reception desk, they allowed her to go directly to Guo Qiangshun's office.
Upon entering, Shen Qing bowed to Guo Qiangshun and politely said, "Mr. Guo, I'm here."
"Sit down, I'll be with you once I finish what I'm doing."
Guo Qiangshun was sitting in the office chair, typing on the keyboard. Then he pressed the Enter key, stood up, and walked toward the sofa in the break area.
Shen Qing took her briefcase and pulled out the prepared materials. She was fully prepared for Longteng Real Estate this time and wanted to win it in one go.
However, Guo Qiangshun sat next to Shen Qing and smiled: "There's no rush, let's have a glass of water first and then chat." He went to pour two glasses of water and came back, handing one to Shen Qing.
Shen Qing felt that Mr. Guo was very polite, and thought it might be because of her grandfather Shen Wansan.
However, she didn't expect that after drinking the glass of water and taking a sip, Guo Qiangshun placed his hand on her shoulder and smiled: "Actually, Shen Qing, cooperation is very easy. There's no need to discuss it. I can give it to you right now. Sign."
Shen Qing felt something was wrong but thought maybe Guo Qiangshun just habitually placed his hand on other people's shoulders, so she didn't immediately push him away and smiled: "Really, that's great, I'll show Mr. Guo the agreement."
"Don't worry, Shen Qing, you probably didn't understand what I meant."
When Guo Qiangshun spoke, his old eyes began to shine as he looked at Shen Qing's beautiful black stockings beneath her OL uniform. At the same time, his hands started to move, touching Shen Qing's shoulders.
Shen Qing finally understood and immediately stood up, frightened, saying: "Mr. Guo, you and my grandfather are also friends. This isn't good. I... I'll come back another time."
"Come back another day?"
Seeing that Shen Qing wasn't on her way, Guo Qiangshun immediately mocked her, reclined on the sofa, glanced at Shen Qing, and said: "If you leave this office, cooperation will be impossible. Besides, don't naively think your Shen family has the qualification to cooperate with me, Guo Qiangshun?"
"I can't deal with a small company like yours that comes knocking on my door every day for cooperation. Why should I choose your Shen family?"
"Shen Qing, as long as you satisfy me, the agreement can be signed immediately. Otherwise, there's no need to discuss it."
Guo Qiangshun's true colors were revealed. Although he and Shen Wansan were of the same generation, seeing Shen Qing growing taller and more elegant, he had long wanted to take advantage of her. Unexpectedly, Shen Qing had really come to his door this time.
Shen Qing realized the danger and immediately said: "Mr. Guo, I'll come back another day." After saying this, she turned around, packed the materials, picked up her briefcase, and planned to leave.
But when she reached the office door and reached for the doorknob, she realized she couldn't open it. It turned out that someone had already locked the door when she entered.
After turning the knob a few more times, the handle didn't budge, and Shen Qing became anxious.
