Chapter 288: I won't interfere with your business tonight

Hotel.

Zhao Ying's head felt heavy, her spirit withered, and she couldn't summon any strength.

No matter what, she never expected that Zheng Qian would suddenly bring out 10 billion!

Looking at his attitude, even if Tang Xingyu had raised the price back then, he would have followed suit without hesitation!

Zhao Ying had misjudged Zheng Qian from the start.

She originally thought Zheng Qian was just a minor vice president of Zhengxin Shipyard, miles behind her.

Later, Zheng Qian suddenly transformed into the Chairman of Qianhe Group.

After coming to Jiangnan, Zheng Qian made numerous grand gestures, throwing out hundreds of millions, and eventually billions!

Zhao Ying's heart couldn't take it.

The span was simply too wide!

Why had she done something so stupid back then, insisting on holding a grudge against Zheng Qian and setting herself against him?

She had actually thought Zheng Qian was taking advantage of a crisis to steal her company.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Qian didn't even care about her clothing company.

He could casually bring out over ten billion!

Merely to save face.

With such immense strength and background, if Zheng Qian insisted on demanding 150 million in compensation, she would have no choice but to pay.

Hearing from her daughter, even the richest man in Jiangnan had no face at a certain banquet and had to make his son kneel and apologize to Zheng Qian.

He didn't even have a temper.

To force the richest man in Jiangnan to that extent...

Zheng Qian might even be able to force her to her death with a single phone call.

Zhao Ying didn't want to see herself like that.

"Daughter!"

"You must go and persuade Tang Xingyu! Don't let him do anything foolish!"

Zhao Ying heard the roaring from Tang Chuanyan nearby.

She was terrified that Tang Xingyu would fall out of favor with his father and not be allowed to handle any funds.

He was indeed the young master of Xingyao Group, but he held no official position or power to mobilize funds.

If his father forbade him from participating in company matters, they would truly be finished!

Lu Shanshan hadn't had time to respond when a new message arrived on her phone.

"He invited me to dinner."

"Tang Xingyu?"

"Then hurry up and go, comfort him well!" Zhao Ying lay on the bed, too weak to even open her eyes, saying languidly.

"No."

"Then who?"

"Zheng Qian."

Zhao Ying jumped off the bed as soon as she heard the name!

"Zheng Qian?!"

"Let Mom see what he said!"

Zhao Ying snatched Lu Shanshan's phone and looked at the chat window with Zheng Qian.

Scrolling up, there were countless messages the daughter had sent to Zheng Qian, but Zheng Qian hadn't replied to a single one; it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

The latest message was from Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian: Are you free tonight?

Zheng Qian: [Location: Jiangnan Hotel]

Upon seeing this message, Zhao Ying was overjoyed!

"Quick, quick, hurry and agree!" Zhao Ying shoved the phone back.

Lu Shanshan replied: I'll be there in 20 minutes.

She didn't know why Zheng Qian was inviting her, but since it was a hotel, then...

It might not just be dinner.

But she still agreed.

"Good daughter, go and spruce yourself up, put on some makeup, wear something pretty."

"When you meet Zheng Qian, you must talk to him properly!"

"It would be best if you don't come back tonight!"

Lu Shanshan: ???

Had her mother been driven mad by the torture?

She wasn't like this before!

Now she wanted her to show her cards to Tang Xingyu, and also told her to spend the night at the hotel with Zheng Qian.

Wasn't this just like a vile villain in a novel?

"Mom... what are you saying?"

"Oh, alright, alright, go and prepare."

Zhao Ying urged.

Lu Shanshan rolled her eyes.

...

Zheng Qian was just about to go downstairs.

He received a call from Manager Nie Kai.

"Young Master Zheng, are you free tonight?"

"What is it?"

"Well, I heard that you dominated the auction and scared the wits out of those people!"

"So I was thinking of throwing a victory banquet for you, what do you think?"

"No need, I have an appointment tonight." Zheng Qian refused.

Manager Nie Kai was persistent.

"Young Master Zheng, if you have an appointment, then let's not have dinner. How about we just go to KTV to sing and have a drink, you can bring your friend along."

"It won't delay your business tonight."

Zheng Qian: ???

This sentence seemed to mean: It won't hinder you from sleeping with a girl tonight.

Seeing that Manager Nie Kai was so thoughtful, Zheng Qian agreed for the time being.

Arriving at Jiangnan Hotel.

A girl was standing gracefully at the entrance.

She was wearing a neat JK uniform, a wine-red pleated skirt on the lower body, revealing slender, fair legs, and a pair of brown leather shoes on her feet.

She was looking around, glancing at her watch from time to time, seemingly having waited for a long time.

Upon seeing Zheng Qian, her gloomy face suddenly turned sunny, as if she had seen the dawn of hope.

"Let's go in."

After the two were seated.

A polite waiter walked over.

"Just give the menu to her."

"Order whatever you want to eat."

Lu Shanshan smiled and took the menu, happily ordering a few dishes.

In a restaurant like this, Lu Shanshan had been many times, and she knew dishes like foie gras and caviar like the back of her hand, and finally ordered a bottle of French Lanzhuang red wine.

"I don't drink red wine."

"Bring me a bottle of Jiangxiaobai."

Jiangxiaobai?

The waiter and Lu Shanshan were both shocked.

Both knew Zheng Qian could afford it.

But they never expected Zheng Qian to like drinking cheap blended liquor like Jiangxiaobai.

The bottle of French Lanzhuang red wine Lu Shanshan had just ordered could buy a thousand bottles of Jiangxiaobai!

She cupped her face and looked at Zheng Qian with a smile.

"O-okay."

The waiter nodded hurriedly, took notes, and went to the back kitchen to send the order.

Lu Shanshan wasn't interrupted by this little episode.

She knew the purpose of her coming today.

She just didn't know why Zheng Qian would suddenly invite her to dinner.

He sent the location directly, without giving her any chance to refuse.

Lu Shanshan prepared to probe first.

"Do you want to sit over here?"

"Closer to me."

Lu Shanshan wanted to further narrow the distance with Zheng Qian.

Eating face-to-face was etiquette, but Zheng Qian's attitude seemed somewhat indifferent.

Clearly, he didn't give her an ugly look, but in the dark, there was a sense of distance from thousands of miles away.

Lu Shanshan took the initiative to introduce the restaurant:

"I came to this restaurant once during summer vacation before, the taste is not bad, especially the crabs and shrimp, which are unique in Jiangnan."

"I'll peel the shrimp for you later."

Peeling shrimp.

If it were a date between a couple, usually the boy should peel shrimp for the girl.

Zheng Qian also didn't expect Lu Shanshan to say something like peeling shrimp for him.

"Alright."

Zheng Qian agreed.

"You must have been very busy these past few days."

Lu Shanshan had been trying to send messages to Zheng Qian for the past few days, dozens of messages every day, sometimes even dozens.

Zheng Qian didn't reply to any of them.

He replied if he wanted to, and didn't if he didn't.

Maybe he wanted to leave her hanging.

After all, Zheng Qian's status now was different from the past.

Billions or tens of billions could be brought out just like that.

He was no longer someone her kind could look down on.

"Hmm, it has been quite busy."

"But it's finished now."

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going back in a few days."

"What about you? When are you going back?"

Zheng Qian asked.

At this moment, the two started to chat.

"Me... I should be going back in a few days too."

"You might be even busier after going back, having bought so many assets, you have to take care of them."

Zheng Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "Not really, just leave those things to the people below. I only focus on spending money, hahaha."

"Look at you, belittling yourself too much."

Seeing Zheng Qian laugh, Lu Shanshan laughed along.

The situation was very harmonious, and the two chatted more and more.

Lu Shanshan helped Zheng Qian dismantle the crab and peeled the shrimp for him.

She had a phone charger in her bag.

As well as toiletries.

She had made plans not to go back tonight.

Even on the way here, she had packed a box of condoms.

If Zheng Qian didn't want to use them, she could cooperate.

She couldn't accept taking medicine afterwards.

But for Zheng Qian, she was willing to take it.
