After leaving the Qin family, night had already fallen. The clear night sky was dotted with stars. Although it was a bit cold, it was also charming.
The parking place was some distance from the building. Qin Chun originally wanted to go there by herself, but Xiao Bingyang walked beside her without any intention of leaving alone. The two had to walk side by side on the path in the community.
There was a faint fragrance of plum blossoms in the air. Qin Chun couldn't help taking a deep breath. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Xiao Bingyang's expression was aloof. "If you really want to take back the control, it is necessary to establish your authority starting with your uncle."
"So, you heard everything?" Qin Chun was very surprised.
A warm current flowed through her heart. It turned out that Xiao Bingyang deliberately helped her put on the watch to show their intimacy so as to support her in front of grandpa and uncle.
"I heard a little," Xiao Bingyang subconsciously touched the plain ring on his index finger. After thinking for a moment, he said seriously, "If you need my help with anything, just ask. Don't be polite. If you need funds for Taohuayuan Town, they can be transferred immediately. If you need me to say hello to those directors of Qin Garden, it's also no problem."
Qin Chun askedly, "Yesterday you didn't agree with my view. Why are you supporting me today?"
"You are my wife. When there is a conflict with others, of course I will stand by your side," Xiao Bingyang said naturally. "But actually, your grandpa and uncle are right. As a real estate company, transformation is necessary. You don't have to worry so much about this Taohuayuan Town. Times are changing, and some views also need to change. Maybe if dad were alive, he might not continue this project."
The warm current merged into the vast ocean and disappeared in an instant.
Qin Chun was silent for a moment, and the corner of her mouth slightly rose. "Then why does President Xiao still transfer funds?"
"I learned about it today. The second-phase funds are five billion. It is agreed that the funds will be transferred after the second-phase building of Taohuayuan Di is capped," Xiao Bingyang said indifferently. "If you really want to play, then take it and play first. Chengfeng can digest it."
A mouthful of blood got stuck in Qin Chun's throat, unable to go up or down.
She was still racking her brains for the project funds, while Xiao Bingyang could take fifty billion for her to play. Even if he didn't approve of her decision, he was willing to let her squander in the mindset of indulging his wife.
Once the assets of the two families were on an equal footing. After a few years, there was a huge difference in cash flow.
"President Xiao is really generous," Qin Chun's mouth curved slightly, with a half-smile. "Thank you, but it's not necessary. We are on a business basis. You don't need to show favoritism. Just follow the agreement in the contract."
That defensive look of a little hedgehog curling up came again. Xiao Bingyang found it a bit amusing. "Don't speak with thorns. The building has stopped construction. Where do you have the money? Having backbone also requires strength. Also, if I were you, even if you take back the decision-making power of the company, you wouldn't continue to invest in this mess. Instead, you should find a manager and try hard to turn around this old aircraft carrier of Qin Garden."
"This doesn't need President Xiao to worry. As long as you abide by the contract commitment," Qin Chun opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. "Do you want to take my car? Or is there a driver coming to pick you up?"
The car window was lowered. Qin Chun's arm rested on the edge of the window. Half of her body leaned out of the window. She looked up at Xiao Bingyang with a slightly raised face.
The bright moonlight fell. Qin Chun's face was half bright and half dark. Her beautiful features were tinged with a soft light, like an ink wash painting of a lady. Elegant and light. Only a touch of light red on her lips added a touch of color to this plain picture.
Xiao Bingyang was distracted for a moment.
Qin Chun under the moonlight seemed completely different from the little hedgehog just now.
"Is this an invitation?" He composed himself and smiled reservedly. "I can let my driver go by himself—"
"No need. This is Chinese courtesy." Qin Chun replied neatly. She stepped on the accelerator and left.
The faint fragrance of plum blossoms disappeared. In the quiet night, only the pungent exhaust fumes and Xiao Bingyang with a livid face were left.
In fact, Xiao Bingyang's coming here tonight was purely accidental.
Originally, there was a conference call at night. The person in charge abroad had something come up temporarily and delayed it. His time was freed up for a few hours. After returning to the old house and having a meal, he saw the birthday gift he gave on the bedside table. Remembering Zhao Xintong urging him to go to the Qin family, he came on a whim.
His driver was still waiting outside the community. There was no problem going back. It was just Qin Chun's attitude that made him a little angry.
Today, he deliberately came to pick up Qin Chun and supported her in front of her family. In the end, he also promised to solve the funding problem of Taohuayuan Town in advance. Why did Qin Chun lose her temper for no reason?
If he had known this, he wouldn't have come to ask for trouble.
The phone rang. Looking at it, it was Zheng Keji calling. As soon as the phone was connected, there was a noisy sound. The drumbeats struck one after another, giving people a headache.
"Brother, it's me!" Zheng Huai called out. "We are drinking. Come and play together?"
"Zheng Huai, give me the phone!" Zheng Keji was exasperated. "How could Muyun come? If you have the ability, use your own phone to harass him!"
With a "clang", it seemed that something had been knocked over. Xiao Bingyang couldn't help frowning.
"Brother, don't be angry," Zheng Huai said with a smile. "It's okay if you don't want to come. I just want to ask you for a favor. Can I take a leave tomorrow? I ran out to drink. The planning book hasn't been finished yet. That female devil is so fierce. I don't want her to make a fuss..."
Only then did Xiao Bingyang remember. In order to properly discipline this little playboy, he punished Zheng Huai to clean the office for a week and handed him over to his capable subordinate, Zhuo Han, deputy director of the investment department.
