Five years had passed. Qin Chun seemed different from before and yet seemed unchanged.
She was still cool and beautiful. Like a snow lotus on a high mountain. But the burning light in her eyes was hot. The confidence and composure emanating from her bones were something he had never noticed before.
The two had been in love for two years. From the initial sweetness to countless struggles and compromises later. When he left, he thought that what he gave up was just a relationship. Far inferior to his self-esteem and pride. But now, when he had the wealth and status he had dreamed of before and returned confidently, he found that the relationship he had once given up had become an unreachable white moonlight that could never be touched again.
"Xiaoyu..." He couldn't help but take a step forward and subconsciously called out softly.
Qin Chun didn't hear him. At this moment, her whole heart and eyes were on her real estate project. That was her rare treasure. She really wanted to boast proudly. But the modesty in the bones of Chinese people stopped her. Moreover, there was no need to boast in front of her sensitive ex-boyfriend. She restrained herself and changed the topic. "Don't talk about me. Look, you are also very powerful now. Although I am not in the same industry as you, I have heard others mention you several times."
Zhou Ziyi's eyes lit up. "Really? Who mentioned me?"
"My general secretary in the office. She is an old-fashioned fund investor. Her younger brother is also in the investment industry. They said that you are a rising star in the fund industry. A gold-medal trader. A financial genius who plays with money. " Qin Chun said with a smile. "Congratulations. Now you have fame and fortune. You can finally do what you want."
Zhou Ziyi bit his teeth and swallowed the words stuck in his throat.
Yes. Finally can do what you want. But it's too late.
When he was in love with Qin Chun at that time, the thing he was most eager to do was to make money. His girlfriend was too rich. But he didn't even have the money to treat her to a meal of crayfish. He also had to let Qin Chun accommodate him and eat the cheapest roadside stall.
His future father-in-law looked down on him and even more on his family. He asserted that Qin Chun wouldn't be happy with him. He even embarrassed him on the spot at the wine table when they met. He angrily threw the cup and had a falling out with Qin Chengshan on the spot.
Qin Chun asked him to make peace with Qin Chengshan again for her sake. He flatly refused. When Qin Chun proposed to break up, he gritted his teeth and didn't compromise. When he was drifting in Beizhou, the only motivation that supported him was to make money and come back and throw the money in Qin Chengshan's face. "Who said Xiaoyu wouldn't be happy with me?"
But now, everything was over. The Qin Chengshan he hated the most was no longer alive. He had no chance to show off in front of him. The girl who used to lean on him and talk and laugh had become someone else's wife and someone else's treasure.
"You know what I want to do most," he smiled wistfully. "I want to have a home of my own in Anzhou."
"That's fine. With your education background and resume, there is no problem settling down," Qin Chun joked. "Don't forget to buy the real estate under our company when buying a house. I'll give you a discount."
"Okay," Zhou Ziyi perked up and looked around. "I'll be able to afford your real estate in two years. Remember to reserve a set for me when there is a new real estate project."
"No problem," Qin Chun looked at her phone and apologized. "I still have something to do and have to go and be busy first. You can drink tea and listen to music. I won't accompany you anymore."
This day, Qin Chun was indeed extremely busy. In the end, when Mr. He and Zhou Ziyi left, she only had time to send them off for a couple of steps.
The wistfulness in Zhou Ziyi's eyes, she understood. After all, they were lovers who had been together day and night for two years. It was false to say that there was no sigh or sentiment.
But now it's useless to say anything. Missed is missed.
Fortunately, Chunlan Yunjing handed in a very beautiful answer sheet for her. This washed away most of this faint wistfulness.
On the first day of the opening, the sales rate of the real estate project reached 70%. It set a new record for the first opening sales rate of luxury houses in Anzhou City. It was about to recover more than five billion in funds. This gave a shot in the arm to Qinyuan Group and even the sluggish real estate market in the entire Anzhou City.
[Chinese style luxury houses support the facade of Anzhou's real estate industry. The new head of Qinyuan Group won the first battle.]
[Who said the real estate industry is going to decline? Qinyuan Lvyi has blazed a new path.]
[Counting the top ten luxury houses in Anzhou City. Qinyuan Lvyi accounts for two of them. Especially the newly opened Chunlan Yunjing. This house is so beautiful. I'm so envious that I want a set if I had money.]
...
News about Chunlan Yunjing from various self-media and financial news spread quickly. Even the battle for the chairman of Qinyuan Group some time ago was brought out and people talked about it with relish.
Xiao Bingyang, who was thousands of miles away, also received these push notifications.
Clicking on the news and looking at it for a few glances, Xiao Bingyang's mood was a bit complicated.
In the current market situation, that Qin Chun's real estate project could sell so well was beyond his expectation.
In his previous fixed impression, women did indeed easily achieve good results in some fields. But if as a leader, they were prone to make mistakes such as being short-sighted and acting on emotions. This might very likely lead a group company astray.
So he always felt that Qin Chun's insistence on being fully responsible for Qinyuan Group was debatable. Even if he supported Qin Chun, it was just out of a protective mentality.
But now, the success of the first opening of Chunlan Yunjing seemed to give him a resounding answer and also made his face faintly hurt.
Could it be that he had underestimated Qin Chun? Was his prejudice against women too much? Should he re-examine Qin Chun's ability and choice?
"Mr. Xiao, the second-phase investment project here has been almost handled. The contract can be signed tomorrow." The office door was pushed open. Zhuo Han pushed the door and entered. Followed by the little tail Zheng Huai.
Xiao Bingyang nodded absent-mindedly.
"Brother, what kind of godforsaken place is this?" Zheng Huai complained. "I thought there would be beauties, beaches, and parties. But as a result, I have been dealing with these bumpkins here every day. If I had known, I wouldn't have followed."
Zhuo Han gave him a cold glance.
This business trip was important and complicated. Zhuo Han originally wanted to bring two capable assistants. It was Zheng Huai who had to follow and squeezed one person away. When he got here, Zheng Huai not only didn't help much but also made a mistake in a document because of carelessness. Which made her work overtime all night to fix the problem.
Zheng Huai pretended not to see it. Happily ran to Xiao Bingyang's side and flattered. Handed his phone over. "Brother, look. Sister-in-law is so popular. It's even in my group for eating, drinking, and having fun. Look at this video! So beautiful. I'm tempted to buy her house."
The short video should have been edited and accompanied by narration and music. The entire sales center was antique. The decoration design of the model house combined Chinese and Western cultures just right. It was full of ancient charm and also had a touch of young fashion. It was indeed very distinctive. No wonder it sold so well.
Suddenly, his gaze paused. He reached out and took Zheng Huai's phone.
The video stopped on the main entrance of the sales center. The logo of Chunlan Yunjing appeared on the screen: ink lotus and white clouds were outlined with simple lines. Black and white were simple and luxurious. Containing the beautiful wish of "blooming lotus with every step".
Lotus again.
Xiao Bingyang's mouth curved slightly.
Like the water lily painting in the bedroom, this was a logo designed according to his preference. Secretly expressing one's own feelings, right?
Why hadn't he noticed these little thoughts before? Let Qin Chun wait for so long in vain.
The chest that had been a bit stuffy because of being hung up on the video before boarding the plane suddenly became smooth and comfortable.
"Brother, the house is beautiful, right?" Zheng Huai was attentive. "There is also a shot of sister-in-law later. Everyone is praising the most beautiful real estate boss."
"Send the video to me." Xiao Bingyang tried hard to press down the corner of his mouth and said indifferently.
