83: Chapter 83 Buy a car first

The night grew late.

Qian Mengsheng lay on the bed in the guest bedroom, her entire body feeling completely numb.

Sounds from the master bedroom next door came in waves.

Only now did she realize that Zhang Qi was a man of unfathomable mystery.

Not only did he have endless money to spend, but his physical stamina was also outrageously high.

What ordinary man could have this kind of stamina?

How much time had already passed? And yet, it still hadn't stopped.

Qian Mengsheng rolled over and pressed her pillow against her head.

The sounds still managed to drill through the cracks in the wall and into her ears.

Suddenly, the phone tucked under her quilt vibrated.

"Bzz—"

This noise gave her a huge fright while she was concentrating intently on eavesdropping.

She hurriedly fished out her phone, the brightness of the screen stinging her eyes.

She opened it to find a WeChat message from her best friend, Su Ran.

"Mengmeng, are you not coming to sleep at my place tonight?"

Qian Mengsheng looked at the words on the screen, feeling a wave of guilt.

They had agreed on this beforehand.

Whenever Zhang Qi wasn't visiting Su Ran, Qian Mengsheng would go over to stay with her.

Su Ran had said that once she made it, she would pull her best friend up with her, and that hadn't just been empty talk.

But today was a special situation.

Zhang Qi hadn't gone to Yunduan No. 1, and neither had Qian Mengsheng.

Su Ran didn't dare to ask Zhang Qi directly from her side, so she had no choice but to send a message to Qian Mengsheng.

Qian Mengsheng bit her lower lip, her finger hovering over the screen.

She didn't know how to reply.

She couldn't very well say that she was currently listening to your benefactor and another woman having a romp, right?

She pondered for a moment, finding a plausible excuse in her mind.

"I have some changes at work, so I'm resting nearby today."

She typed out this line and hit send.

She absolutely wasn't lying by saying this.

She really had decided to work for Zhang Qi, and she really was resting nearby.

She just hid the two key pieces of information: Zhang Qi and Manager Chen Danni.

Not two seconds after the message was sent, Su Ran replied.

"Brother Qi isn't coming, and you aren't coming either; I'm so bored tonight!"

Through the screen, Qian Mengsheng could feel Su Ran's resentment.

Looking at this sentence, she felt even guiltier.

She locked her phone screen and stuffed it back under the pillow.

She didn't even dare to reply.

The commotion in the master bedroom continued until the early hours of the morning before finally quieting down completely.

Qian Mengsheng, with her messy hair, drifted off to sleep in a daze.

The next morning.

Sunlight shone in through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room.

The three of them gathered at the dining table to eat breakfast.

The breakfast was high-end dim sum takeout ordered by Zhang Qi, covering the entire table.

Qian Mengsheng held her chopsticks, her gaze stealing glances at Zhang Qi and then at Manager Chen Danni.

Zhang Qi was wearing a clean, casual short-sleeved shirt.

He was full of energy, glowing, and eating shrimp dumplings with big bites.

After all that tossing and turning last night, there wasn't a hint of fatigue on him.

In contrast, look at Manager Chen Danni sitting opposite him.

Manager Chen Danni had changed into a black professional suit today.

There was obvious fatigue on her face, and dark circles under her eyes that she couldn't hide.

Even her hand holding the chopsticks was trembling slightly.

But her mental state was surprisingly good.

Her whole person exuded a sense of languor from the inside out, as if she had been thoroughly nourished.

The original cold, aloof, powerful businesswoman aura had largely dissipated.

In its place was the soft charm of a mature woman.

Qian Mengsheng looked at the small, uncovered red mark on the side of Manager Chen Danni's neck.

Her cheeks burned uncontrollably, and she hurriedly lowered her head to drink her porridge.

Manager Chen Danni keenly noticed Qian Mengsheng's gaze.

She felt a wave of embarrassment.

Zhang Qi's tireless offensive last night had completely disarmed her.

Now her legs were still weak, and her walk was a bit unnatural.

Being stared at like this by her former subordinate, Manager Chen Danni felt a bit shy.

She put down her chopsticks and pressed a tissue to the corner of her mouth.

"Have you had enough to eat?"

Manager Chen Danni cleared her throat, trying to regain the aura she had when she was a manager.

"Let's go register the company."

Zhang Qi swallowed the food in his mouth and wiped his mouth with a tissue.

"Yeah, okay."

Qian Mengsheng also hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks.

"I'm finished too."

The three of them tidied up a bit and went out downstairs together.

They arrived at the underground garage.

Zhang Qi's matte gray porsche 911 was parked in a conspicuous spot.

Not far away was Manager Chen Danni's gray Volvo.

Manager Chen Danni walked between the two cars and stopped.

She looked at the Porsche, then at Zhang Qi.

"Let's take my car."

Manager Chen Danni took the Volvo's car keys out of her bag.

"The sports car only has two seats, so we won't all fit."

"It's inconvenient for three people to take two cars; it's better to take one car to get things done."

Zhang Qi looked at the two-seater Porsche and nodded.

"Hmm."

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the sports car wasn't so appealing anymore.

Usually, taking one woman out, a sports car is indeed stylish.

But now that he had to take two people, the limitations of the space were exposed.

In the future, there would only be more women around him.

He couldn't drive several cars every time he went out.

Manager Chen Danni walked to the driver's seat of the Volvo, opened the door, and sat in.

Zhang Qi walked to the back row and opened the right-side door.

Qian Mengsheng followed him very consciously, opened the left door, and climbed into the back row.

The doors closed, and the car interior quieted down.

The back seat space of the Volvo wasn't very large.

Zhang Qi and Qian Mengsheng were sitting side by side.

The distance between the two of them was less than twenty centimeters.

Qian Mengsheng was wearing a slim-fitting light-colored dress today.

The hem of the dress just covered her knees, revealing a section of fair calf.

Her hands were placed neatly on her legs, and she sat up straight.

Zhang Qi could clearly smell the body fragrance of a young girl emanating from her.

He turned his head to look at Qian Mengsheng.

Qian Mengsheng's ears turned red instantly, her gaze fixed straight ahead; she didn't dare to look at him at all.

Manager Chen Danni started the engine, shifted gears, and started moving.

The Volvo pulled smoothly out of the parking space and drove toward the garage exit.

There was a speed bump in the garage.

Manager Chen Danni stepped on the brake.

The car body jolted violently.

Qian Mengsheng was caught off guard, her body leaning to one side, and she fell directly toward Zhang Qi.

Her shoulder bumped heavily against Zhang Qi's chest.

Her soft body instantly pressed tightly against Zhang Qi's arm.

"Ah..."

Qian Mengsheng exclaimed in surprise, trying flusteredly to sit up straight.

Zhang Qi was quick-eyed and fast-handed, grabbing her shoulder.

"Be careful."

Zhang Qi's voice rang in Qian Mengsheng's ear, carrying a warm breath.

Qian Mengsheng froze in Zhang Qi's arms.

Through the thin fabric, she could feel the solid muscles on Zhang Qi's arm.

And that highly aggressive masculine scent on him.

Her face flushed red instantly, and even her breathing became rapid.

"Th-thank you, Brother Qi."

Qian Mengsheng stuttered, but she didn't break free from Zhang Qi's embrace.

She stared straight ahead, her heart beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.

Zhang Qi didn't let go, nor did he make any further moves.

He leaned against the seat back, his gaze sweeping over the interior of the Volvo.

Manager Chen Danni had been driving this car for a few years, and the interior was already a bit old.

The leather of the seats had hardened, and the space felt cramped.

"Forget it, let's not go to the industrial and commercial department first."

Zhang Qi suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the car.

Manager Chen Danni glanced at him through the rearview mirror.

"What's wrong?"

Zhang Qi leaned against the seat, his tone very flat.

"Let's buy a car first."

Upon hearing this, Manager Chen Danni subconsciously tapped the brake.

The Volvo stopped slowly by the side of the road.

She turned her head, looking at Zhang Qi in the back row with some confusion.

"Buy a car?"

Manager Chen Danni frowned slightly.

"Didn't you just pick up a porsche 911?"

Zhang Qi shook his head and reached out to pat the front seat of the Volvo.

"Sports cars are for fun; they aren't suitable for business."

"Once the company is up and running, we'll need to go out for business."

"We can't just squeeze into a sports car or squeeze into this Volvo."

Zhang Qi said it with confidence.

In fact, what he was thinking was that in the future, when he took the few of them out, the space had to be big enough.

Besides, spending money is making money; he didn't know if registering a company would get a cashback, but getting some rebates first was always fine.

Qian Mengsheng sat to the side, listening to Zhang Qi's words, secretly clicking her tongue in her heart.

He had just spent over two million in full to buy a sports car.

Today, he complained that the sports car didn't have enough seats, and with a word, he wanted to buy another one.

This car-buying was even more casual than her going to the market to buy cabbage.

"Then what kind of car do you want to buy?"

Manager Chen Danni put the car back into gear, ready to follow Zhang Qi's instructions.

"One with a lot of space, comfortable, preferably a top-tier executive sedan with four or five seats."

Zhang Qi ran through the luxury cars on the market in his mind.

"Just navigate to the auto city."

Manager Chen Danni entered the address into the navigation, turned the steering wheel, and the car merged into the main road.

"What's the budget?"

Manager Chen Danni asked casually.

She knew Zhang Qi was rich, but for something like buying a car, there had to be a range.

Zhang Qi leaned against the seat back, looking at the streetscape flying past outside the window.

A faint smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"No budget."

"Whichever one I like, I'll buy."

As soon as these words were out, the car fell silent instantly.

Manager Chen Danni's grip on the steering wheel tightened.

Qian Mengsheng even lightened her breathing.

No budget, whichever one he likes.

This sentence, that thick confidence, was enough to make a woman's legs go weak just hearing it.
