Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 274: Brilliant Life, Nothing Can Replace It 49

As the saying goes, one should be grateful to the one who has helped him. No matter what the reason was, Xue Chenjing did make a great contribution in this regard.

In a western restaurant by the sea, Leng Nuan sat alone at a window seat. Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, she could take in the spectacular view of the setting sun.

It’s a pity that the beauty doesn’t know how to appreciate such a beautiful scenery.

In fact, Leng Nuan didn't quite understand why, whether in melodramas or idol dramas, they all like to choose to eat in Western restaurants? In her mind, she imagined that the hero and heroine each held a rice bowl and spoke affectionate and romantic words.

Hmm...it seems that it is not incomprehensible.

Thinking of this very funny scene, Leng Nuan's mouth curved up. In Xue Chenjing's eyes, he thought he was happy because of his arrival.

"Sorry, I'm late. I was delayed by something." He apologized, but his pride was not diminished at all. In fact, he was late for half an hour on purpose. After the woman succeeded in seizing power, she ignored him and didn't even bother to pretend in front of him.

Oh, woman, do you think you can be worry-free once you become the chairman? But he admitted that Leng Nuan's little tricks were quite appealing to him.

"No, I just arrived too." Leng Nuan put away her smile and said lightly. She had indeed just arrived. Yun Shen had told her when Xue Chenjing left the house and where he went along the way. She would not come here in advance and wait foolishly.

"Here, congratulations on successfully acquiring the Qin Group."

"Thank you, and I also have to thank President Xue for his great help." Leng Nuan also raised her glass, but she didn't hold the fragrant red wine, but boiled water.

"Isn't this a time worth celebrating?"

"Sorry, I don't drink."

Xue Chenjing smiled and didn't embarrass her. He shook the stem of the cup, gently clinked it with the transparent cup in front of him, and said casually: "Okay, cheers."

"What do you think about my last proposal?" Xue Chenjing is a person with a strong sense of purpose. He will not waste his precious time on trivial matters.

So he got straight to the point.

"I know you have no romantic feelings for me, but that won't prevent us from getting married."

"Think about it, as long as we join forces, your position will be more secure. And if our two companies merge, we will be a strong alliance in the future."

In fact, for him, the Qin family will be in his pocket sooner or later. The reason why he proposed this was, firstly, because he did have some feelings for Leng Nuan, not to mention that her appearance was also what he liked. Secondly, it was because of the Lu family behind Leng Nuan. That's right, the Lu family, not the Qin family.

Compared to the Qin family, which only had a good reputation but no substance, he spent so much effort just to get a company. What was more valuable was the foundation and strength behind the Lu family.

The light of the setting sun hit Leng Nuan's body, and her fair face looked a little flushed because of the sunlight, like a touch of shyness. Such a scene made Xue Chenjing's heart move. However, it was only for a moment, and the attractive beauty punctured this floating pink bubble with a firm and cold tone.

"It's indeed a good idea. But I have no plans to get married yet. You know, I have just taken power. There are still many things to learn..."

"Hehe, having me is enough for you, why do you need to study so hard?" Xue Chenjing interrupted Leng Nuan.

"After you marry me, you just need to dress up beautifully every day, go shopping, drink tea, and watch dramas with those rich ladies, right?"

"Oh, it sounds like it's pretty good." Leng Nuan stopped cutting beef and looked like he was thinking seriously. Then he nodded in approval and replied, "You think this kind of life is pretty good, right?"

"That's for sure." Xue Chenjing saw Leng Nuan's reaction and thought he had convinced her. He was just about to strike while the iron was hot, but he saw the girl opposite him speaking in a magnanimous manner and seriously.

"If you think about it carefully, this kind of life is really good."

"How about I give you this opportunity?"

"After we get married, I will work hard to manage the two companies, and you just need to stay at home and look beautiful, eat, drink and have fun."

Xue Chenjing was stunned for a moment, feeling offended.

Before he could react, the person on the other side continued, "Oh, it seems that you don't really like this kind of life. Since you don't like it, it must not be a good thing, right?"

"..." Xue Chenjing was speechless after hearing these words. He felt like a suffocation was stuck in his chest, neither up nor down, feeling very uncomfortable.

Yun Shen didn't know how much psychological shadow Xue Chenjing had at the moment? But he was pretty happy anyway. Every day, he was forced to listen to the lines that he thought were from a domineering CEO but were actually so awkward that they were too childish. Do you know how he got through these days?

While enjoying the food, you cannot hear your friend's inner cry. After all, you can't be against anything, but you can't be against food.

"That's such a pity. It seems like you and I are not destined to be together." Xue Chenjing picked up the white napkin and wiped the stains from the corner of his mouth, trying to save face.

"Since we can't be husband and wife, we can still be friends and partners."

"Speaking of which, the land in Oasis City..." He is not a good person. Since he chose to help Leng Nuan fight for power, he must have his own purpose. That piece of land is a hot commodity. If he can get it, it will definitely be a good opportunity to expand his power.

"You also know that Qin Shuangjiang and his team have been in charge of this aspect. I don't understand a lot of things. Besides, the amount of money involved in this project is too large, and the board of directors will not let it go easily."

Of course, he knew more about these things than Leng Nuan. So he changed his approach and said, "I don't need you to do anything more. You just need to show me all the information about this project."

"Okay, I got it. I'll ask Qin Shuangjiang for it later."

"But, if such a big project is ruined, will I suffer a huge loss?" Even a person who doesn't understand business well will understand that this is a very important and profitable project. After Leng Nuan agreed, he became suspicious again and asked hesitantly.

"This is indeed a huge project. But think about it. If you can secretly destroy the project that Qin Shuangjiang is in charge of, she will be the one who suffers the most. Not only will she no longer be a threat to your position, but she will also make your parents disappointed in her. Only then will you be the real, only daughter of the Qin family."

"Well...what you said makes sense."

After convincing the man, Xue Chenjing smiled with satisfaction and changed the subject.

"I heard that Qin Shuangjiang is trying to get Jun Zhuo to participate in the Giant Group's new project."

"It seems to be the case." Leng Nuan thought about it. Qin Shuangjiang showed her the plan yesterday.

"I heard them say they could make a lot of money if they could take it down. That's not okay. I have to stop it."

"No, this time, you have to help both of them get elected."

"Ah? Why?" Hearing him say that, Leng Nuan's eyes became sharp, and the expression on her face was indeed surprised and puzzled.

"Oh, the hermit has his own ingenious plan, just help him." Xue Chenjing looked confident, and when he thought of his plan, he felt his appetite improved.

When the night fell completely, the sea scene that seemed romantic and dreamy not long ago now became dark and terrifying.

A man in a black jacket sat down at Xue Chenjing's seat. He took off his motorcycle helmet, picked up the chopsticks and rice on the table, and quickly took a bite of the cut steak. He mumbled, "I'm starving. It's so cold and I'm hungry."

"Drink some water." Leng Nuan poured a glass of water and handed it to the person opposite.

Yun Shen thanked him and took it. He drank two sips before slowing down and chatting while eating. "You gave the power to Qin Haoming. Aren't you afraid that he will really empty your house?"

"I'm not really afraid that he will empty Qin's house. I'm just worried that he won't be bold enough to do it."

"Are you so sure he will do it?"

"Anyone with eyes wide open can see Xue Chenjing's ambition, and he seems to be impatient. With Qin Haoming's personality, it would be better for him to make a fortune and give up this empty shell before being acquired rather than continue to be a small director."

"By the way, how is your investigation going?" Leng Nuan asked after explaining.

Yun Shen frowned and said seriously, "Well, this matter is quite complicated."

"The cat's job is to catch mice, and judging is the judge's job."

After hearing what Leng Nuan said, Yun Shen returned to his playful and smiling self. Sometimes he was also curious about how this person developed such a cold and innocent personality.

"Come to think of it, Bai Xue's mission has been completed. Why hasn't she hung up yet?"

"Bai Xue," Leng Nuan seemed to remember something, she smiled and said, "She applied for an extension of her mission, maybe she made some new discoveries."

When the situation became like this, Qin Shuangjiang knew that he had to face what he had to face, and they also took corresponding remedial measures in secret.

But when she looked through the information in her hand, she couldn't help but feel the fire in her heart rising.

In just a few days, the project that she originally planned had either a replacement of team leader or supplier, or the partner found an excuse to withdraw investment and terminate the project.

Some of it was Qin Haoming's work, but more of it was the pressure from Xue Chenjing. Every project, no matter how big or small, was the result of her hard work. Until the moment Leng Nuan asked her for information about Oasis City, he couldn't help but quarrel with her.

"Since you have taken this position, you should shoulder this responsibility." Qin Shuangjiang grabbed the documents in Secretary Yin's hand and threw them in front of Leng Nuan.

"Just look at it, it's only been a few days and the company's projects and funding chain have become a mess."

She looked at the still calm face in front of her and said coldly, "Leng Nuan, I don't know what you want to do. But if you want to destroy my parents' hard work, I will never let you off easily."

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now." Leng Nuan took out the project plan that Qin Shuangjiang had already completed from the pile of documents and pushed it to her.

"This project is not suitable. Our company has never been involved in the cosmetics industry. So it will not be approved."

"Is it because of Xue Chenjing?" Qin Shuangjiang stared straight into her eyes, her anger almost reaching the critical point. She knew that Jiutian Group was also competing for this project. And recently, Leng Nuan had contact with him again.

"Well, you can say that."

Secretary Yin felt a gust of wind passing by him, and then heard a "bang". The door opened and closed, and there was no one left in the room.

"Ah, he was angry and left." The instigator looked at the door and stated it belatedly.

"..." That's not your masterpiece, Boss Leng. She has been with Qin Shuangjiang for so long, and even when things were hard and difficult, she has never seen Qin Shuangjiang lose his composure like this during work hours.

"What happened? I just saw Vice President Qin looking very angry..." Qin Qianqian was frightened by her look. Her face was as dark as that of an angry dean.

"Nothing, just a slight disagreement."

"By the way, Qianqian, are you free tonight? Let's go for dinner together." Leng Nuan returned the signed contract to Qin Qianqian and suddenly invited.

"Hey, what's going on today?" Qin Qianqian was a person who couldn't hold back her temper. After hanging around in front of Leng Nuan for a few days, she returned to her carefree personality. When Leng Nuan met her this time, he didn't call her Manager Qin, but her name, and she couldn't help but tease her.

"It's indeed a great thing. Let me tell you..." Leng Nuan smiled happily, and even the people watching could feel her joy at the moment.

"What?" Qin Qianqian's curiosity was completely piqued.

"Let me tell you, Second Uncle is so good to me! He gave me his river view apartment worth tens of millions! Do you think this is worth celebrating?"

"Oh, Second Uncle is really the best man in the world, so elegant and generous. As his niece, he treats me so well. How happy would his children be~"

"Yes, yes. It's really enviable." Qin Qianqian held the edge of the contract tightly with both hands. Leng Nuan's words were like arrows that pierced through her heart one by one, the false excuses she had set up for being a "father".

As she spoke more and more, Secretary Yin found that Manager Qin's face became more and more ugly. She didn't know what role Qin Qianqian played in this matter. But what she was sure of was that Manager Leng was very good at making people angry!

Look, another one got angry and left.

It is said that life is like a play and a play is like life. Sometimes reality is much more exciting than the story.

Jun Zhuo felt that her life was rich and colorful. But compared to her junior sister, she found that she seemed to be a very ordinary person.

She looked at Qin Shuangjiang in front of her in a daze, and asked again in an uncertain tone: "Are you asking me to buy Qin's shares?"

"Why did you change your mind? Do you still want to take back the power?"
