Chapter 346: Let's take a shower together

After several rounds of drinks, the matter was finally settled.

Jiang Yanran truly had deep connections and resources. Zheng Qian couldn't help but marvel inwardly; he hadn't expected her to know such a wealthy figure. After all, it was a business deal worth over a hundred million, yet it was decided so quickly.

Both sides had reviewed the contract beforehand and didn't have many objections, so all that remained was to go through the motions.

What surprised him, however, was that the company was given directly to the woman beside him.

That was over a hundred million! Just like that, given away!

Seeing that it was about time, Lin Haowei made an excuse to leave, and Zheng Qian saw him out of the private room.

"If there's anything you need help with later, Boss Lin, you mustn't refuse."

"That's for sure. After all, I won't be leaving Subei anytime soon."

As Lin Haowei spoke, he looked toward the private room, hesitating for a moment, then patted Zheng Qian on the shoulder with a smile. "Young Master Zheng, how should I put this... Perhaps you've had some understanding of our wine before, but I doubt it's enough. Drinking those two bottles mixed together makes it very easy to get tipsy and pass out. Hehehe... You'd better take Miss Cui away quickly, otherwise, I'm afraid you two will be spending the night here."

Before Zheng Qian could react, he waved his hand and turned to leave.

Hmm... Now that he mentioned it, it did seem to be the case.

He had been too busy chatting earlier and hadn't drunk much. On the contrary, Cui Ziqing seemed very interested in the wine here and had drunk quite a bit, glass after glass.

Returning to the private room, Zheng Qian immediately noticed that something was off with her.

Her pretty face was incredibly flushed; she seemed to be feeling the effects of the alcohol. Her body was soft as she leaned against the sofa, her clothes slightly disheveled, her eyes hazy with intoxication—she was very charming.

"Why are you so drunk? Honestly, let me take you back."

"Qian... Do... Do you like me?"

Before Zheng Qian could finish, Cui Ziqing hooked her arms around his neck and pulled him right in front of her.

Her cheeks were red, her eyes were hazy, and biting her lip, she said, "You... You went through such a huge roundabout way... and even gave me a company worth over a hundred million. You..."

Zheng Qian had also had a bit to drink. At this moment, his heart was pounding rapidly.

Especially feeling Cui Ziqing's orchid-like breath and the fact that she was pressing her entire body against his. This caused a fierce, wicked fire to surge in his heart.

"I..." Just as Zheng Qian was about to say something, Cui Ziqing reached out her delicate hand and pressed it against his lips.

She shook her head slightly, her eyes even filled with tears. "Don't say it. I... I'm so afraid that as soon as you open your mouth, you'll reject me... You're so good to me. For so many years, you've treated me even better than my father..."

It was clear that Cui Ziqing had indeed been under tremendous pressure within her family for all these years. But hearing her say the word "father" only made the wicked fire in Zheng Qian's heart burn even more intensely.

"Don't speak. Kiss me."

Immediately after, Cui Ziqing's soft lips pressed onto his. Zheng Qian could no longer control his heated emotions and suddenly flipped over. Amidst her startled cry, he began to respond passionately.

...After the clouds and rain had passed.

When Zheng Qian came back to his senses, it was already noon the next day.

Thinking back to everything from last night left him feeling endless aftertaste. Cui Ziqing, almost completely bare in his arms, revealed skin as white as snow, looking simply like a work of art. Her eyelids, occasionally fluttering in her sleep, were quite adorable.

Zheng Qian carefully got up, put on his clothes, and opened the private room door, only to find several female waitresses waiting outside. Seeing them blushing, they probably knew what had happened inside. He awkwardly lit a cigarette.

Fortunately, the private room here could be locked from the inside. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly asked, "By the way, is there any surveil..."

"No," a girl replied, blushing. "This is the private room Boss Lin uses for business discussions, so it can be locked from the inside, and there are no surveillance cameras installed. Um... also, there's a nanny van arranged downstairs. President Zheng, you can leave at any time."

Zheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled and handed over a few bills. "Thank you for your hard work."

After this encounter, his impression of Lin Haowei improved quite a bit. Plus, knowing to specifically arrange female waitresses here—he certainly knew how to handle things. With their help, Zheng Qian brought the sleeping Cui Ziqing back to their hotel room.

Just as he was about to take a shower, he suddenly stopped and looked closely at her face. A few seconds later, her originally fair cheeks became even redder.

"Hey! How long are you going to stare!" Cui Ziqing grabbed a pillow and threw it at Zheng Qian.

"Hehehe, so you were pretending to sleep." Zheng Qian caught the pillow, took the opportunity to pin her down, and said with a smile, "Tell me, when did you wake up?"

Cui Ziqing's pretty face flushed, she struggled symbolically, and bit her lip, saying: "When... when we got in the car, I was already awake. You bad guy, did you deliberately make me drink so much yesterday... Oh my, why are you like this? Why are you... again in the morning..."

Zheng Qian couldn't help it. Cui Ziqing was just too alluring. Plus, with the two of them in such physical contact, a reaction was only natural.

"Hmm... If you don't like it, I'll take a cold shower to calm down."

"Don't..."

"What does 'don't' mean?"

"Don't do it by yourself... Let's shower together..."

After experiencing this, Zheng Qian couldn't help but sigh. This damn sense of contrast was simply addictive. Once "unlocked," she was truly a charming little enchantress, bringing him a brand-new experience.

However, she was still new to this. After "showering," she felt as if she had fallen apart and couldn't go anywhere. Zheng Qian had no choice but to give up his original plans and spend some time alone with her in the room.

In fact, since signing the contract yesterday, the purpose of coming to Subei had basically been temporarily achieved. Next, he would return to Yebai to handle some matters for The Group. He would leave everything here to Cui Ziqing to manage entirely.

But then again, although LIN MIX was bought for Cui Ziqing, in terms of ownership, this company still belonged to Qianhe. Or more accurately, it belonged to the Shumile Group.

Originally, when he first met Cui Ziqing, she had signed a high-level agency contract for Xunnidi with Zheng Qian, so he simply made Cui Ziqing the president of the Shumile Group to oversee and plan the subordinate subsidiaries, including Xunnidi Wine, LIN MIX Bar, and Shuyuan Coffee.

This was something Zheng Qian had planned long before setting off. Cui Ziqing would serve as the president of the Shumile Group, and Jin Lu would be the chairwoman. She would serve as Jin Lu's top deputy.

And this time, returning to Yebai, he also needed to quickly handle the merger between Shumile Coffee and Qingyuan Coffee. After all, with more and more women around him, if this were to cause Jin Lu to hold a grudge, it would ultimately not be good.

But... thinking of that pair of top-tier sisters, The Deng Sisters, gave Zheng Qian quite a headache. How should he arrange things for them?
