144: Encounter with Qin Mengyue

"Luo Chen?"

Just as the group was about to leave the shooting range to make their trade, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind them.

Luo Chen turned his head curiously and saw three people approaching him.

Leading the way were two beautiful women. One was tall and curvaceous, wearing a black short-sleeved dress, looking capable and elegant, every inch a female CEO.

The other was a bit more playful, standing about 1.5 meters tall, nearly a head shorter than the woman beside her, yet she walked with no less presence.

She had a lollipop in her mouth, her round cheeks puffed out, and her big, round eyes surveyed Luo Chen as if she found him very interesting.

Behind them followed a burly man with resolute eyes.

"Qin Mengyue!!!"

Luo Wan Ning exclaimed. She had just been talking about her, and now, unexpectedly, they had run into her.

"Wan Ning! Erina!" Qin Mengyue walked up quickly with a smile, took the hands of the two women, and said earnestly, "I didn't expect you two sisters to be even more beautiful in person than in your photos."

"Thank you! I think so too! It's a pity system avatars can't be changed," Luo Wan Ning said with a slight smile and a proud tone.

"Miss Qin Mengyue, you flatter me. I've seen you before, and I'm not surprised your demeanor is as outstanding as ever," Shirasawa Erina said with a hint of polite business flattery.

"Miss Shirasawa Erina, we've met?" Qin Mengyue was surprised and looked at Shirasawa Erina curiously.

"At a dinner party for a collaboration between you and my father. I saw you then, but I hadn't made a public appearance at the time, so you might not have noticed me."

"Ah! What a pity we didn't get to know each other sooner, otherwise we would definitely be great sisters!" Qin Mengyue sighed.

She secretly observed Shirasawa Erina's expression, and noticing a hint of sadness, she guessed that her father was likely no longer alive.

Immediately, she waved her hand and smiled calmly, saying, "Let's not talk about that. The past is the past. Now, everything has to start from scratch."

"Miss Shirasawa Erina, we're officially acquainted now. I hope you'll be lenient in the future and give us a 'friendship discount' when we collaborate."

Luo Chen watched the two women converse and couldn't help but marvel. As expected of those from business families, their speech was polite yet not distant, and within a few sentences, they had already moved on to making money.

Of course! While he admired it, it didn't mean he liked this kind of business-like communication, as it was too hypocritical, like wearing a benevolent mask at all times, while secretly plotting how to exploit others.

This was also a significant reason why he didn't want to manage the Train's transactions.

"That would depend on my husband," Shirasawa Erina didn't agree, but instead passed the topic to Luo Chen.

All of that was just polite talk and couldn't be taken seriously; she naturally wouldn't foolishly agree right away.

"Mr. Luo Chen! Hello! It's our first meeting, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Qin Mengyue, this is my assistant Ning Kexin, and behind me is my bodyguard Jiang Bin."

Upon hearing this, Qin Mengyue came before Luo Chen, wisely not bringing up the topic of cooperation again. Instead, she first introduced the two people beside her and then shook his hand.

It wasn't that she didn't greet Luo Chen first; she knew that, in most cases, women needed to be appeased more than men.

Men often didn't care about these minor details and were more rational. Women, however, were more emotional; if they were appeased, and then they whispered in the men's ears, it would naturally influence the men.

After all, it was hard for anyone to resist repeated persuasion.

"Hello, everyone!" Luo Chen greeted them with a touch of politeness.

In the very beginning, Qin Mengyue was willing to share information with him, making him understand the need to merge more Trains, and he successfully passed the accumulation phase. This was no small help to him, so he couldn't appear too cold.

As soon as he finished speaking, the girl with the lollipop, Ning Kexin, walked forward excitedly, her eyes openly appraising him as if he were a male model.

"Wow! Boss Luo Chen, I didn't expect you to be not only handsome but also have such a great physique? Tsk tsk! If you showed yourself like this, many women would surely want to have some interesting things happen with you."

"Ning Kexin! Stop fooling around!" Qin Mengyue, worried that Ning Kexin would blurt out their plan now, quickly said in a cold voice.

"Oh! Right!" Ning Kexin patted her head, understood the warning in Qin Mengyue's eyes, pouted in annoyance, and quickly hid to the side.

Behind Luo Chen, Xi Yue looked at Ning Kexin with some delight. She felt that the other person's personality was very similar to hers—both bold and unconventional. If they were together, they could definitely become good friends.

"This little sister has excellent taste!" Luo Wan Ning looked at Ning Kexin, her eyes also lighting up. She quickly walked forward, took her hand, and whispered in her ear:

"Little sister, you don't know, my husband, though handsome, is actually very dull and not at all lustful. I had to make the first move to win him over. Now, on the Train, many women haven't been touched, which is tough for those sisters, guarding empty rooms every day."

"Ah! Is Boss Luo Chen very 'weak'? He doesn't look like it!" Ning Kexin widened her eyes and secretly glanced at Luo Chen.

"He's very 'weak'! There are several bottomless pits on the Train that he can't fill," Luo Wan Ning pointed to Xue Shang, then to Xi Yue, who was curiously watching the two, and continued:

"Look at that white-haired woman; she needs to eat five or six times a day. Sometimes I can't even get him to myself. And that woman who's watching us, she eats even less, she's almost become a lesbian now."

"Then wouldn't it mean that even if we sent women to your husband, he wouldn't want them!" Ning Kexin's spirits fell upon hearing this, and her plan slipped out inadvertently.

Luo Wan Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes. Who would tell someone's wife that they wanted to send women to her husband? If it weren't for the current situation, she would have wanted to just chop her down.

Although she didn't object to Luo Chen finding women, after all, the more women Luo Chen acquired, the more purple core rewards he would receive, which was beneficial to everyone.

But this didn't mean others could send women. If he found them himself, they were like sisters; if others sent them, that was like poaching and disrupting the harem.

However, seeing that she had successfully figured out the other party's objective, she didn't dwell on it.

She asked again curiously, "Why do you want to send women to my husband?"

"It's like this! Our Train's configuration is too poor! We don't have enough resources or purple cores. We wanted to use your husband to farm purple cores. He's a Breeding Apostle, right? So we thought, could we try to cooperate? We provide two women, they sleep together, and the purple cores obtained are split one each. He doesn't have to be responsible for the women, he gets to enjoy himself and earn purple cores—a win-win!"

Ning Kexin's tone was discouraged, but her eyes were secretly observing Luo Wan Ning's reaction.
