Collaborative Development

“Hehe… Sister Qin, you, hello.” Chen Xiao said.

Yan Bingqin said, “What? You don’t want to sit next to me that much?”

“Cough, cough, no, not really. You’re such a beauty, it’s stressful to have you sit next to me.”

“Tsk~~”

Yan Bingqin rolled her eyes, but her expression brightened considerably.

“Smooth talker. Do you like that land of mine, Sister?”

Chen Xiao looked terrified.

His gaze started from Yan Bingqin’s face and gradually moved downwards…

Yan Bingqin was startled, looked down, her face slightly red, and pinched Chen Xiao’s waist.

“You little pervert, what are you thinking?”

Chen Xiao: “Ow, ow, ow, it hurts…”

“You said it yourself…”

The table full of second-generation heirs immediately looked down at their noses, as if they saw nothing.

“I’m talking about the land in the Development Zone that was given to you for 400 million a few days ago!” Yan Bingqin said through gritted teeth.

Chen Xiao, of course, knew what she meant; he was just deliberately playing dumb.

Xiong Chao suddenly looked up, “Sister Qin, your family’s land, you sold it to Xiao Zi?”

“Pfft, what the heck is Xiao Zi? It doesn’t sound good. From now on, when you see Chen Xiao, call him Xiao Ge!” Yan Bingqin commanded.

Everyone: “…”

Chen Xiao quickly waved his hand, “No, no, I can’t accept that.”

“I like the land very much, but it wouldn’t be good if Sister Qin wants to go back on her word, would it?”

“Hmph, who said I’m going back on my word? I want to ask you, how did you know that a key school would be planned there?”

Chen Xiao was speechless, “Big Sister, you gave me the land, how would I know? What I wanted at the time was money! You wouldn’t give me money, and now you’ve given me land and you regret it…”

“Cough, cough, who said I regret it?”

“If you don’t regret it, you’ve pinched me purple. This clearly has some personal vendetta in it.”

Yan Bingqin: “…”

“I was punishing your dishonest mouth. I came today to discuss cooperation with you.”

Chen Xiao looked cautious, “Cooperation? What kind of cooperation?”

“Of course, it’s my land… of course, it’s your land.”

“My land? How do you want to cooperate?” Chen Xiao asked.

“Development. You don’t have a construction company, so let’s cooperate to develop it,” Yan Bingqin said.

Xiong Chao, who was beside them, was going crazy, “Sister Qin, Sister Qin, include me too…”

Yan Bingqin glared at him, “When have I ever eaten meat without giving you guys a bowl of soup?”

Everyone was instantly overjoyed.

Besides her overwhelming combat power, Yan Bingqin was also very loyal. As long as it didn’t involve the core interests of her family, she would always share benefits with these younger brothers she had bullied.

That’s why everyone both feared and respected her.

Chen Xiao was speechless, “I haven’t even said yes or no yet, and you’re already bringing your brothers to carve up my land?”

Yan Bingqin wrapped an arm around Chen Xiao, “Little brother, you will agree. You’ve taken so much money from me, what’s wrong with spitting out a few hundred million to me?”

Chen Xiao: “…”

“It’s no problem to spit out a few hundred million of other things to you, I have plenty, but when it comes to money… let’s not.”

Yan Bingqin was startled, then cursed, “Pervert! You’re going vulgar in less than three sentences! I dare to take it, do you dare to spit it out?”

“Cough, cough…” Chen Xiao quickly waved his hand, “No, no, I wouldn’t dare, I’m scared. Let’s talk about that land instead.”

For land development, the efficiency was too low, and it was troublesome. Chen Xiao could earn billions in that time. So he couldn't possibly do it himself; selling it directly or cooperating with others was the best choice.

Yan Bingqin took out a document and said, “This land is now worth 1.2 billion. You provide the land, we’ll handle the rest, and develop it according to this plan. You get 65%, and we take 35%. How about it?”

Chen Xiao flipped through it. On 200 acres of land, they could build about eighty or ninety buildings.

Considering the construction period and future price increases, it was still quite good.

The construction period in this era was also slow. This project, from approval to completion, would take at least two years.

Chen Xiao wasn't too interested in this aspect, “Alright then, let’s do as you say.”

“Holy cow, Xiao Ge is generous! Little brother here will toast you first.” Xiong Chao directly rushed over to thank him.

Chen Xiao took the lion’s share, Yan Bingqin got the meat, and he could at least get one or two hundred million by following along.

This was already a lot for the second-generation heirs at that time.

“Don’t be modest, we’re all family.”

Yan Bingqin rarely showed a smile in public.

According to the current rate of housing price growth, when the project is completed in two years, this 2 billion project will have at least 2 billion in profit, which is quite a lot.

This was the charm of real estate in this era; housing prices changed daily, like a rocket, driving the entire economy to develop rapidly.

With the serious business concluded, the concert began.

First to appear was Zhang Ting, a senior from Jinning University's Broadcasting and Hosting major.

She was the dream of countless otaku.

Privately, she was referred to by the male students as the ceiling of the 'slightly chubby' world, the top goddess among the seniors.

Every word uttered from her fiery red lips carried sexiness.

In her melodious voice, every note plucked at the heartstrings.

Her large eyes, fluttering as if they could speak, made everyone she looked at feel excited and warm.

“Distinguished leaders, esteemed teachers, dear students, tonight let us all…”

Her voice flowed slowly like a trickling spring in the stadium.

Below the stage were countless shouts and cheers.

Yan Bingqin nudged Chen Xiao, “Hey, little brother, do you like this type? How about I help you get her?”

Chen Xiao: “…”

“No need, you rest.”

Yan Bingqin: “Tsk, don’t all men like these vamps?”

“It’s alright, don’t be polite with your sister. Just consider it… an expression of my gratitude to you.”

“Cough, cough, really no need. I’m not short on women.”

Yan Bingqin rolled her eyes, “You don’t need to emphasize every time how many women you have. I’m not asking you to do anything.”

Chen Xiao gave an awkward laugh, then sat up straight, staring intently at the stage.

Yan Bingqin felt bored and picked up her phone to play with it.

Zhang Ting stood on the stage and spoke for a full 5 minutes of official pleasantries before announcing the concert had officially begun, then walked backstage.

At this time, various accompanying musicians entered first.

Following closely was tonight’s main star, the popular singer Wei Cheng.

“Hello, everyone, how are you?”

“Good—!”

Below the stage was a deafening roar of cheers. Chen Xiao and his table were somewhat startled, their gazes looking directly behind them.

That scene was much more interesting than the stage…

Wei Cheng didn’t waste words; he immediately launched into his famous song, and many people in the audience instantly started singing along.

As Chen Xiao listened, he actually knew a few lines, so he hummed along.

The accompanying band was on both sides of the stage. Tan Cheng was playing well when she suddenly saw Chen Xiao in the very front row.

Her hand trembled, and the rhythm immediately went awry.
