Her best friend rambled on,
and Liu Ruyan's heart was stirred:
"Really?"
"Will this really work? Will it really make Qin Feng see me differently?"
"Will it really make him like me again and pursue me?"
Her best friend said confidently:
"Guaranteed!"
In fact, when her best friend suggested this, she was indeed hoping for a good outcome.
As she listened to Liu Ruyan's story, she changed her mind.
In fact, it would be great if Liu Ruyan really hooked up with a tall, rich, and handsome guy. He's definitely got friends with tall, rich, and handsome guys.
Then she could ask Qin Feng to introduce her to someone tall, rich, and handsome too.
Wouldn't that be a win for her too?!
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan perked up.
She quickly said:
"Then hurry up and take a taxi."
"I'll buy the paint. You'd waste time buying it on the way here."
After hanging up, she immediately went out to find a store to buy paint. He didn't even bother notifying HR of his resignation or asking them to send a receptionist to take over. He just left.
…
…
On the ninth floor of Koch Construction's headquarters.
The two had already agreed to a partnership.
During the negotiations,
Qin Feng's villa, while luxurious, was just one, and Manager Li hadn't been impressed to begin with. After hearing that it was only a contract for construction, not materials, Manager Li lost interest even more.
But seeing Qin Feng's confidence in the prospect of at least two hundred more villas,
Manager Li decided to take a gamble.
While he wouldn't suffer any financial loss if he lost the bet, his reputation would undoubtedly be affected.
If word got out, he'd be ridiculed!
People would say he, the general manager of Koch Construction's headquarters, was being manipulated by a twenty-something brat.
Either people would say he, a general manager, actually took on such a small order personally...
Whichever the explanation, he would be roundly ridiculed by those in the industry.
But somehow,
he was inexplicably influenced by Qin Feng's confident aura, and he too felt confident that he wouldn't lose the bet.
However,
while signing the contract,
Manager Li looked at the specific location Qin Feng had given and hesitated:
"Mr. Qin, are you sure you want to build here?"
"And the subsequent 200 or so villas will also be built here?"
Qin Feng directly pointed out his thoughts:
"Isn't this location too remote? It's basically some unknown little village, right?! Building so many villas here would be a complete waste... Or, is this guy really just bluffing about the 200 or so villas he's talking about?"
"That's probably what Manager Li is thinking."
Manager Li coughed to hide his embarrassment. Qin Feng had indeed hit the nail on the head.
The moment he saw the address, he didn't even want to sign the contract. Qin Feng didn't care, instead speaking with uncanny confidence:
"It's certainly an unknown little village now, but it won't be soon!"
"In the future, it will be the most famous village in our province, maybe even in the country!"
Manager Li was filled with doubt.
He couldn't help but wonder if Mr. Qin was a wealthy young man from somewhere like Beijing or Shanghai?
Why was he coming here to develop a villa complex?
And at the same time, he was also going to develop the surrounding area?
But that wouldn't turn this unknown little village into the most famous in the country...
For a moment,
Manager Li imagined many development and construction plans, such as large-scale infrastructure construction and tourism development.
But in the end, he gave up on them all.
No matter how he imagined it, it seemed impossible to make this unknown little village the most famous in the country.
But!
Qin Feng's aura made him feel that he wasn't just pretending or boasting, but was truly working towards this goal!
This made him full of anticipation for Qin Feng's future.
Then,
He picked up a pen and signed the contract directly, extending his right hand to Qin Feng.
"Let's have a pleasant cooperation?"
"Happy cooperation, Manager Li!"
Qin Feng said with a smile, shaking hands.
This cooperation truly delighted him.
The price Manager Li gave him was quite unexpected.
It was much lower than he had expected, even lower than what he could have gotten from a contractor himself!
It seemed Manager Li wasn't planning on making a profit on this order; he was simply asking for the cost price.
Since Manager Li had such goodwill towards him, he would certainly not let him down.
Manager Li checked the time.
"It's almost eleven o'clock. Our company's lunchtime is in half an hour. Mr. Qin, why don't you have lunch here before leaving?"
"Let me show you our company's lunch. It's one of our special benefits. Many employees come here just for the food."
Manager Li was very impressed with their company's lunch. His only complaint was that it only provided lunch and dinner, not breakfast.
Otherwise, he would have eaten all three meals a day at the company.
Qin Feng declined.
"No, I'm busy later. Let's wait for another opportunity."
This wasn't just a polite remark; he was truly busy today.
They were planning to build a new house, so the old one would definitely have to be demolished.
While the new house was being built, their belongings would have to be moved elsewhere.
He and Manager Li had agreed to start work the day after tomorrow.
That was only a day and a half left...so he had to get back and get busy with the move. Manager Li invited Qin Feng again, but Qin Feng still declined, so he didn't insist.
As he walked Qin Feng to the front of the company building,
Knowing Qin Feng's tight schedule for the villa, Manager Li reassured him:
"Mr. Qin, don't worry. The workers will definitely arrive on time the day after tomorrow and won't delay your work."
Qin Feng nodded:
"Okay, Manager Li, I'm relieved."
"Manager Li, don't drive me off. My car is right up ahead."
As he spoke, Qin Feng pointed in a direction.
But when he looked at where his car was, he frowned.
Two women were doing something to his car.
Because their view was blocked, he couldn't see what they were doing.
He could only see one gesturing, and the other waving something at his car.
A closer look at her clothing revealed that the woman holding something was Liu Ruyan!
"What's this crazy woman up to?"
Qin Feng suddenly felt something was amiss and hurried towards his car.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
Before reaching the car, Qin Feng shouted at them to stop.
As expected, the two froze at the sound of Qin Feng's shout,
and then immediately turned to face him.
As expected!
One of them was Liu Ruyan. Although she was facing him, her hands were behind her back.
Qin Feng also recognized the other person; it was Liu Ruyan's best friend, Ruan Huairui. "What are you doing?"
Qin Feng asked sternly again as he approached.
Liu Ruyan simply chuckled and remained silent.
