Is it hard to chase the school beauty?It doesn't matter, she still has roommates

"Let's see if we can walk."

Chen Yihan carefully stood up and tentatively put her weight on her left foot.

The amazing thing is that my ankle, which was just in excruciating pain, now only feels a little uncomfortable.

She took a few steps and then widened her eyes in surprise.

"It really doesn't hurt anymore!"

Qin Luo wiped his hands, his expression indifferent.

"My massage techniques are the result of countless practices. I even used a bit of internal energy just now, which is why I recovered so quickly."

"Internal energy?"

Chen Yihan asked curiously.

"Like the kind in martial arts novels?"

Qin Luo smiled.

"Pretty much. Traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the smooth flow of qi and blood, and internal strength can help promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis."

Chen Yihan moved her ankle and could no longer feel any pain.

She looked up at Qin Luo, taking a serious look at this mysterious man for the first time.

He was very tall with broad shoulders and well-defined features. Most striking were his eyes, which were so deep they seemed to see right through people.

"thank you"

She said it sincerely.

"I never imagined that traditional Chinese medicine was so amazing."

Qin Luo did not respond to her thanks, but suddenly became serious.

"Mr. Chen, I think you should just quit running this property management company."

"Shut down the property management company? Mr. Qin, you're not joking, are you?"

Chen Yihan's slender fingers gripped the coffee cup tightly, her knuckles turning white.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating her exquisite makeup, but it couldn't conceal the shock and unease that flashed in her eyes.

She had specially worn a beige business suit today to appear professional and not to be underestimated during the negotiations, but she never expected that Qin Luo would deliver such a blow as soon as he opened his mouth.

Qin Luo slowly picked up his coffee and took a sip, smoke rising from the cigarette between his fingers.

He was wearing a dark gray suit today, with his tie loosely hanging down, exuding an air of languor and danger.

"Do you think I'm joking?"

He looked up at her, his deep eyes seeming to see right through people's hearts.

Chen Yihan's chest heaved as she forcefully suppressed her surging emotions.

“President Qin, we’ve been working together for three years. I founded the property management company from scratch, growing it from a small team of three to its current size. If you suddenly want me to shut it down, you have to give me a reason.”

She couldn't help but recall a month ago when Qin Luo suddenly demanded that she reorganize the company's internal management, or else the cooperation would be terminated.

During that period, she worked almost day and night and completed all the rectifications in just two weeks.

It's only been a few days! Is he going to change his mind again?
Qin Luo suddenly laughed, a laugh that sent chills down Chen Yihan's spine.

"I know what you're thinking."

He flicked the ash from his cigarette.

"You think I'm going to cut off our cooperation? You think I'm the kind of person who goes back on their word?"

When her secret was exposed, Chen Yihan's cheeks flushed slightly, but her professionalism allowed her to quickly adjust her expression.

"Mr. Qin, you're overthinking it. I just want to know your true intentions."

"I'm starting a new company, but I'm short of a manager."

Qin Luo was straightforward.

"You're a good fit."

Chen Yihan was stunned.

She had imagined countless possibilities, but she never expected this answer.

"Annual salary of two million, after tax."

Qin Luo added, his tone as relaxed as if he were discussing today's weather.

This number made Chen Yihan's heart skip a beat.

Her current annual income is less than half of that.

But soon, reason prevailed.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Qin."

She shook her head slightly.

"But I can't give up my company."

Qin Luo narrowed his eyes.

"Too little?"

"It's not about money."

Chen Yihan looked directly into his eyes.

"That's the business I built up bit by bit after graduating from university, just like my child."

After a moment of eye contact, Qin Luo looked away first and stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

"what ever."

The conversation ended with just two simple words.

As Chen Yihan was leaving the coffee shop, her phone rang.

It was Wang Cuifang, her business partner.

"Yihan, are you free tonight? I've invited a few big bosses, all in real estate, who can help you expand your business."

Chen Yihan hesitated for a moment.

She definitely needs new client resources, especially after rejecting Qin Luo's offer; she needs to step up her efforts even more.

"Okay, send me the location."

After hanging up the phone, she glanced back at the coffee shop.

Through the glass window, she saw Qin Luo making a phone call, his profile cold and stern.

For some reason, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.

3 PM, Yi Pin Xuan.

When Qin Luo pushed open the door to the private room, Situ Rui was already waiting there.

Several delicate tea snacks were laid out on the table, their aroma wafting through the air.

"How's the check going?"

Qin Luo got straight to the point.

Situ Rui adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and took a folder out of his briefcase.

"We've basically figured out the Zhang family's situation. Zhang Qilin's construction company appears to have no problems on paper, but he's transferred a lot of funds through several shell companies."

Qin Luo took the document and quickly scanned it, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Sure enough."

"more importantly."

Situ Rui lowered his voice.

"His newly invested real estate company has staked almost all of its working capital on the land auction a few days later. The land is located in the core of the new development zone and is valued at around 600 million yuan. Zhang Qilin is determined to get it."

A glint flashed in Qin Luo's eyes.

"interesting."

"What are you going to do?"

Situ Rui asked curiously.

Qin Luo closed the file and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Doesn't he want that land? Then let him 'get his wish'."

The two discussed some more details, and half an hour later Situ Rui left in a hurry.

Qin Luo sat alone for a while, and just as he was about to leave, a commotion came from the next private room.

"Mr. Chen, you have a great capacity for alcohol! Have another glass!"

Qin Luo frowned at the sound, quietly walked to the door of the next private room, and looked inside through the half-open door.

The private room was filled with smoke. Chen Yihan sat in the main seat, her cheeks flushed, clearly having drunk too much.

To her left was a bald, middle-aged man pouring her drinks attentively; to her right was a heavily made-up woman, whom Qin Luo recognized as Wang Cuifang, Chen Yihan's "business partner."

"Yihan, Mr. Huang is a big client, you absolutely have to drink this!"

Wang Cuifang's high-pitched voice came through.

Chen Yihan waved her hand, her tongue already a little tied.

"Sister Wang, I really can't drink anymore."

"How can that be done!"

Mr. Huang's thick hand patted Chen Yihan's shoulder and slid down.

"Is Mr. Chen being so disrespectful?"

Qin Luo's eyes turned cold.

He had seen this kind of scene many times. The so-called "introducing clients" was nothing more than an excuse to push young women into a pit of fire.

Just as she was about to leave, she saw Wang Cuifang sneakily take a small bottle out of her bag and pour some white powder into Chen Yihan's wine glass while Chen Yihan went to the restroom.

Qin Luo's pupils suddenly contracted.

When Chen Yihan staggered back, Wang Cuifang immediately picked up the glass of wine. "Come on, one last glass, let's talk business after we finish this!"

Chen Yihan dazedly took the wine glass and was about to drink it.
"boom!"

The door to the private room was kicked open suddenly.

Everyone was stunned.

Qin Luo strode in and snatched the wine glass from Chen Yihan's hand.

"what are you doing?!"

Wang Cuifang screamed.

Qin Luo didn't even glance at her, but splashed the wine on her face and then slapped her across the face!

"Snapped!"

The crisp sound echoed in the private room.

Wang Cuifang staggered backward after being hit, covering her face in disbelief.

"You...you dare hit me?"

Chen Yihan was also stunned, and recognized Qin Luo through her drunken haze.

"President Qin?"

"Walk."

Qin Luo grabbed her wrist and tried to leave.

"stop!"

Mr. Huang slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you ruin my plans!"

Several other men also gathered around, their expressions unfriendly.

Wang Cuifang came to her senses and pointed at Qin Luo, cursing him loudly.

"Do you know who I am? You're not leaving this room today!"

Qin Luo sneered and slapped Wang Cuifang again, this time knocking her to the ground.

Ugly people often cause trouble.

He looked down at her.

"This is my territory. I can come and go as I please. Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"Snapped!"

A crisp slap echoed in the private room, and Wang Cuihua flew out like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the Persian carpeted floor.

She saw stars before her eyes, her ears were ringing, and she felt like the whole room was spinning.

"Oh, my teeth!"

Wang Cuihua touched her burning cheek with trembling fingers; the area was already swollen to the touch.

When she saw the three bloody teeth lying in her palm, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"My face is disfigured."

The other four men in the private room were stunned.

The leader, Boss Huang, suddenly stood up, his beer belly hitting the edge of the table with a dull thud.

His face was ashen, and the veins on his neck bulged.

"Qin Luo! Do you know who I am? How dare you touch my woman!"

Qin Luo slowly shook his hand, as if he had just hit a dusty rag instead of a human face.

He looked up at the fat, middle-aged man, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"You pig-headed idiot who uses despicable means to find women, do you even have the right to ask me who I am?"

"you!"

Boss Huang was so angry that his whole body was trembling with fat. He shoved away his subordinate who tried to stop him.

"I'm the boss of Minyun Real Estate! I'm sworn brothers with Xu Tianhu! If I don't let you leave here alive, I'll write my name backwards!"

"Xu Tianhu?"

Qin Luo seemed to have heard a joke. Suddenly, he grabbed Boss Huang's meticulously styled hair and, amidst the pig-like screams of the other man, slammed his knee into that greasy face.

"Crack!"

The sound of the nose breaking was clearly audible.

"what!"

Mr. Huang staggered backward, clutching his bleeding nose, the front of his expensive custom-made suit instantly stained red with blood.

He was in so much pain that tears and snot streamed down his face, but he still didn't forget to make threats.

"You wait, I'll make your whole family pay with their lives!"

Qin Luo sneered and casually grabbed a napkin to wipe his hands.

"Go ask Xu Tianhu and see if he dares to disrespect me, Qin Luo."

"Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty!"

While instructing his subordinates to fetch tissues to stop the bleeding, Boss Huang took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Brother Tiger! It's me, Lao Huang! I got beaten up at Yipinxuan! Yes, my nose is broken! You have to do justice for me!"

The angry voice on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped.

"Wait. Where did you say you were?"

"Yipinxuan! The newly opened one in the south of the city."

Mr. Huang suddenly realized something was wrong, and his voice unconsciously softened.

Xu Tianhu's gasp came through the phone.

"Put the phone on speakerphone."

Mr. Huang frantically operated his phone, flatteringly saying...

"It's all set up, Tiger. Now, what do you say?"

"Master Qin!"

Xu Tianhu's voice suddenly became extremely respectful.

"This guy surnamed Huang is just a drinking buddy of mine, do whatever you want with him! Come visit my amusement park sometime, I just got a new batch of good wine."

The private room was deathly silent.

Mr. Huang's hand, which was holding his phone, froze in mid-air, and he even forgot to wipe the blood off his face.

His eyes widened, and his lips trembled.

"Tiger, Brother Tiger? We've known each other for over ten years."

"Who's known you for over a decade!"

Xu Tianhu interrupted him sharply on the phone.

"Mr. Qin, this person has absolutely nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you want with him!"

Qin Luo looked at the ashen-faced Boss Huang with a half-smile, then reached for the phone.

"Tianhu, your friend is quite interesting."

"Mr. Qin is joking!"

Xu Tianhu's voice immediately softened by eight octaves.

"This kind of scum dares to call himself my friend? Please don't misunderstand! I'll send someone to pick you up and bring you to the casino right away."

"No need."

Qin Luo hung up the phone immediately and casually tossed it back to the stunned Boss Huang.

Wang Cuihua huddled in the corner, trembling as she covered her swollen cheek.

She finally realized that the so-called "big boss" she had latched onto was less than a dog in the face of real power.

Mr. Huang's knee slammed heavily onto the marble floor with a dull thud.

Sweat dripped from his forehead down his greasy cheeks, gathered at his chin, and finally fell to the ground, mixing with the spilled red wine.

"Mr. Qin, I was blind to your greatness."

Mr. Huang's voice trembled like a withered leaf blown by a cold wind. His hands gripped the fabric on both sides of his trousers tightly, his knuckles turning white.

The crystal chandelier in the private room cut the light into countless fragments, which fell on Qin Luo's angular profile.

His slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, the rhythm neither too fast nor too slow, yet it made Mr. Huang's heart beat faster involuntarily.

"Wasn't Boss Huang acting all high and mighty just now?"

Qin Luo's lips curled into a cold smile, but his eyes were as cold as ice.

"How come you're kneeling so easily now?"

Boss Huang's Adam's apple bobbed as he glanced at Xu Tianhu, who stood to the side with a gloomy expression.

Half an hour ago, he thought this underworld overlord would back him up, but who knew that the moment Xu Tianhu saw Qin Luo, his fierce face changed color.

"Master Qin, what do you think of this matter?"

Xu Tianhu rubbed his hands together, his tone ingratiating.

"Mr. Huang doesn't understand the rules, please forgive him."

Qin Luo raised his hand to interrupt him, his gaze still fixed on Boss Huang.

"Xu Tianhu, this is none of your business."

Xu Tianhu felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He bowed and scraped as he left the private room, giving Boss Huang a fierce glare before he left, as if blaming him for causing him such a big problem.

The moment the door to the private room closed, Mr. Huang's mental defenses completely collapsed.

He recalled the widely circulated news in the industry not long ago: Xu Tianhu of Supreme Entertainment City had been single-handedly attacked and defeated, not only being utterly humiliated but also forced to relinquish 30% of his shares. (End of Chapter)
