He cared about that place simply because it held mories of him and Gu Qimiao. Moreover, Gu Qimiao liked it a lot and didn’t want it to beco a ss due to business interests.
"Selling... it’s not impossible..." Miss Jiang said as she leaned her head closer to him, her gaze fixed on his thin lips.
Inside, Gu Qimiao, who was eavesdropping, clenched her hands tightly, breaking into a cold sweat.
Shen Yanchen imdiately turned his head away, a trace of disgust in his eyes.
The woman’s actions stiffened, but she continued to smile, "How about we set a ti tonight to discuss this in detail?"
Such an [ambiguous] signal was clear to any adult, and Gu Qimiao beca anxious inside, deeply afraid that Shen Yanchen would nod.
Shen Yanchen glanced at her coldly, his tone less polite than before, yet still calm and indifferent: "Don’t refuse the offer only to end up regretting it. When I’m in a good mood, I buy with money; when I’m not, I can dismantle the Jiangshi Group entirely, making you beg to buy the land."
Miss Jiang was visibly stunned, then smiled as she withdrew her hand, sitting more properly than before, and said conciliatingly, "No need for anger, Mr. Shen. We are willing to sell the land and hope to have more cooperation with you in the future."
Everyone who knew Shen Yanchen understood that he never bluff; whatever he set his eyes on, no one could outcompete him. When he beca ruthless in the business world, he’d throw money just to crush you.
Seeing her compromise, Shen Yanchen’s tone softened: "Of course."
Miss Jiang deliberately picked up his teacup, took a sip with her red lips, and then pointed to the lipstick mark on the ceramic cup, saying, "Oh, I’m sorry, I’ve left a lip print."
Shen Yanchen knew she had picked the wrong cup on purpose. He said nothing, knowing he wouldn’t drink from it again, nor would he use that cup anymore.
When Miss Jiang saw he ignored her, she put down the cup, leaned closer to him, and then straddled one of his legs...
Gu Qimiao’s eyes widened as she watched, gripping her pencil tighter, this shaless woman! She was livid!
"How about we set a ti tonight to sign the contract?"
Shen Yanchen raised his hand to push her away, but before he could speak, there was a noise from the glass room beside them. Gu Qimiao stumbled on the door’s edge with an "ouch," nearly falling before she steadied herself.
Her voice successfully interrupted the two on the sofa. Miss Jiang didn’t expect there to be soone else inside and was dumbfounded.
Gu Qimiao put on an apologetic face, walking toward the door while whispering, "Sorry... I was just going to the restroom."
If she didn’t co out now to make her presence known, would this woman start taking off her clothes?!
Shen Yanchen pushed the woman off his lap, looking at Gu Qimiao walking toward the door, and said, "There’s a restroom inside."
Gu Qimiao paused, giving a dry laugh as she walked in the direction Shen Yanchen pointed.
As she turned, her face dropped into a resentful expression. If she hadn’t intervened, would Shen Yanchen have let that woman do whatever she wanted?
She did nothing last ti and he reacted like that. Would he frequently engage in such acts with other won in the office before she moved here?
The more she thought, the more frustrated she felt. Just as she was leaving the restroom, she heard the woman say, "I always thought Mr. Shen was indifferent to won, but it turns out you secretly hide a woman in your office."
Gu Qimiao’s face turned slightly red at the words. The woman, noticing her co out, didn’t hold back but instead pushed out her impressive chest toward Gu Qimiao and said, "Such a bland taste, how about so real action tonight?"
Gu Qimiao glared at the woman, wanting to poke those fake balloons with a needle! How could there be such a shaless woman?
Shen Yanchen didn’t explain his relationship with Gu Qimiao but stood up from his seat, adopting a guest-sending posture, "I’ll send soone to handle the follow-up on the contract. If there’s nothing else, Miss Jiang, you may leave now."
Seeing Shen Yanchen’s patience wearing thin, Miss Jiang stood up, glanced at Gu Qimiao with slight disdain, and said, "I didn’t expect Mr. Shen to be interested only in immature little girls!"
Shen Yanchen said nothing, only walked to his desk and pressed a button. Soon, an assistant walked in, "Mr. Shen, any instructions?"
"Escort Miss Jiang out."
With such an obvious order, Miss Jiang rely sized up Gu Qimiao before following the assistant out.
With just the two of them left in the office, Gu Qimiao, regaining her composure, glanced at him, feeling extrely embarrassed.
Being belittled by another woman in front of the man she liked, and interrupting him when he was getting intimate with soone else, Gu Qimiao feared he might bla her and quickly said, "... I’ll head back in."
Shen Yanchen watched her back as she walked away and said leisurely, "Focus on your work, and stop eavesdropping on everything."
Feeling guilty, Gu Qimiao mumbled an "okay" before quickly walking back into the glass room. So he knew she was eavesdropping, how embarrassing! Would he think she had a special interest in such things?
They had lunch outside together at noon, casually talking about so drawings. He didn’t give much feedback, seeming satisfied with her work.
In the afternoon, while he worked in the office, she concentrated on her drawing inside. With just a glass wall between them, Shen Yanchen felt complete with her presence even though he hadn’t fully won her over. He now prevented her from interacting with other n. The remaining task was to win her heart, but it was challenging for Shen Yanchen, who, despite being in his early thirties, had never dated before.
Maybe he should consult He Ye for so tips on winning her over?
