179: Reading is beneficial, the more the better

Li Qinghe walked down the corridor, and the beauticians he met along the way smiled and greeted him.

The passage he was using was for the beauticians' staff only, so he wouldn't encounter any customers.

Given Li Qinghe's physique and good looks, if those socialites and wealthy ladies from Hanoi saw him, they would surely be drooling.

That's why Vu Linh Huong specifically told him to try and use the staff passage.

At the end of the corridor was Vu Linh Huong's office, and Li Qinghe gently knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

Vu Linh Huong's calm voice rang out.

Li Qinghe pushed the door open, and Vu Linh Huong, who had been looking at something, immediately became enthusiastic: "Qinghe! Please have a seat; I'll be done with this in a moment."

Today, Vu Linh Huong was wearing a Prada suit; its tailored fit perfectly showcased her long, elegant legs.

Li Qinghe smiled and found a seat on the sofa, poured himself a cup of coffee from the pot, dropped in two sugar cubes, added some milk from the creamer, and gently stirred it with a small spoon.

He sat up straight and looked at Vu Linh Huong; she was very diligently reviewing relevant documents, sometimes even retrieving additional materials for comparison, her expression deeply focused.

A serious man is very charming, and a serious woman is also very captivating.

Vu Linh Huong and Pham Huyen My were both career-oriented women, but Vu Linh Huong's starting point was considerably higher.

It wasn't a matter of who was higher or lower; their starting points were different, and their development paths were different. Pham Huyen My had to fight her way up by herself, while Vu Linh Huong was merely using her career to gain experience and maintain the habit of having something to do.

Some innate things cannot be compared.

He watched Vu Linh Huong intently finish the remaining documents before gracefully rising and walking towards him.

Li Qinghe put down his coffee cup, and this fashionably dressed woman settled into his embrace.

Reaching up to hook his neck, Vu Linh Huong gave him a fragrant kiss.

"Mmm~~ a scent of Minh Thu."

Vu Linh Huong smiled and playfully tapped Li Qinghe's nose.

"Minh Thu said she learned new massage techniques, how could I refuse?"

Li Qinghe's expression was one of innocence.

"Alright, I know you're greedy. Eat whatever you want, as long as you're happy."

Vu Linh Huong lay in Li Qinghe's arms, enjoying the happiness of their interaction as a couple; she was very much infatuated with this man now.

Moreover, she believed that even if she cast aside everything her family gave her, her life with Li Qinghe wouldn't be too bad; this man could provide her with equally superior living conditions.

It could be seen from his several girlfriends that this affectionate man would not favor one over another, nor would he tire of the old and seek the new, which gave everyone a great sense of security.

"Qinghe, you're really not angry with me anymore, are you?"

Giving him another sweet kiss, Vu Linh Huong rested her head on Li Qinghe's shoulder. She couldn't continue any longer; she would lose control of herself.

"At first, I was a bit surprised because you actually went to my hometown, but you got along very well with my family, and my relatives all praised your generosity and grace. I even felt a bit grateful to you..."

Li Qinghe embraced Vu Linh Huong, gently rubbing her forehead with the side of his cheek.

He shared his thoughts with her after hearing about what Vu Linh Huong had done, especially his displeasure after hearing she had gone to see Nguyen Thi Linh, Nguyen Thi Trinh, and Chau Pham Thuy Anh.

He then received several apologetic kisses from Vu Linh Huong, and she promised that such a thing would not happen again.

Vu Linh Huong also shared with Li Qinghe her feelings after meeting Nguyen Thi Linh and the others.

"Qinghe, A Ling and A Trinh are both simple-minded girls. Although they are dependent on you now, if you were penniless, they would still be willing to live a hard life with you."

"A Ying likes beautiful clothes and good living conditions. She would also be willing to live a hard life for you, but A Ying said she has absolute confidence in you to provide her with an increasingly better life."

Vu Linh Huong gave her own assessment of Nguyen Thi Linh and the others, which was why she congratulated Li Qinghe yesterday.

Because when faced with Vu Linh Huong's powerful background, they were worried, but they showed no fear, because they believed in the man behind them.

"A Xiang, if I were penniless, would you still like me?"

"My family definitely wouldn't agree, but for you, I'm willing to be a runaway princess. And in this regard, I'm like A Ying; I believe in my man."

They spent the entire morning in Vu Linh Huong's office, and they also communicated a lot.

Li Qinghe also reaffirmed Vu Linh Huong's inner thoughts and ideas.

He also gained a deeper understanding of Vu Linh Huong's current environment; with her family background, the reason her family was so tolerant of her.

It was entirely because Vu Van Nghia bore all the pressure himself; the family's expectations and the needs of faction development, he kept Vu Linh Huong from experiencing even a hint of pressure.

In other words, this was the Vietnamese version of a noble young master + doting brother.

Vu Van Nghia didn't have many demands for Vu Linh Huong; he only wanted her to be happy and find a boyfriend who wasn't a 'yellow-haired' man.

Li Qinghe felt a slight bead of sweat on his brow as he listened to Vu Linh Huong's account.

If it weren't for the system, he would probably be seen as just another 'little yellow-haired' man in Vu Van Nghia's eyes.

But Li Qinghe was unwilling to put on an appearance of hard work, starting businesses and doing this and that, just because of this.

What Li Qinghe truly wanted was to enjoy life, because he felt that the arrival of this system was meant for him to lie flat and enjoy, not to be more 'rolled' and like an ox or horse than before he got the system.

A system that makes the host work like an ox or horse is a 'Heaven Rewards Diligence' system, which is not on the same track as Li Qinghe's current 'Money-Giving' system.

With the help of the system, doing things happily and enjoying life was the definition Li Qinghe set for his own life.

As for other things, Li Qinghe would arrange them according to the results of the system's lottery, because many of the things drawn were incredibly bizarre.

They spent the morning intimately with Vu Linh Huong, exchanging their thoughts and helping Li Qinghe clarify his direction.

Indeed, as a certain master said, every woman is a book, and each book presents different content.

Reading different books brings different gains; opening a book is beneficial, and the more, the better.

This was Li Qinghe's conclusion for the morning.

Lunch was delivered to the office by Hoang Dang Minh Thu.

Head Maid took an hour to recover, but her mental state was excellent; she was radiant, as if she had undergone a full deep spa treatment.

The lunch delivered consisted of rice, stir-fried dishes, and stewed dishes, clearly arranged specifically because Li Qinghe was coming.

Today's menu was mainly Northeastern Chinese cuisine: Guo Bao Rou, sauerkraut with pork, Di San Xian, shredded potatoes, and a pork rib and tofu soup.

The portion sizes from the 'Northeast Old Iron' (a nickname for people from Northeast China) had not been reduced much, even after traveling to Vietnam.

According to the Vietnamese appetite, one basin of food would be enough for an entire family.

Head Maid also stayed in the office to eat with them, but her main role was to serve Li Qinghe along with Vu Linh Huong.

"Minh Thu, why are you working so hard today?"

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Qinghe watched Hoang Dang Minh Thu finish clearing the dishes, wash her hands, and then come to massage his head.

Resting in Minh Thu's soft embrace, Li Qinghe teased her with the question.

Hoang Dang Minh Thu's hands paused for a moment, and Vu Linh Huong, smiling, answered the question.

"Because I've opened two new high-end beauty salons in Saigon, and I need Minh Thu to go and oversee them for a period of time."
