In the cold winter of Qinqing, how could she escape the night wind's fierce gaze? Her eyes, ablaze with fiery determination, reflected the unwavering vigilance she possessed. Her clothes fluttered as she rushed into the bedroom.
~!
The heavy door remained shut, yet the night wind's ominous silence held no trace of the lock's click. Suspicions gnawed at her.
With a swift movement, the night wind extinguished the candle and stood before Qinqing's bedroom door.
~!
Pushing open the door, her gaze fell upon Qinqing and her daughter peacefully slumbering in bed. A quiet contemplation had already settled beside her.
Qinqing, startled like a startled bird, tightly curled herself within the covers, her watchful eyes shimmering with tears.
"Wife, where shall I sleep?" the night wind whispered cautiously, fearing to disrupt the slumbering tranquility.
Qinqing knew every ounce of his tenderness was a deception, that his fierce nature would soon unravel. But soon enough, the night wind realized its rightful place, a comforting embrace upon the cold floor.
He settled in, a faint fragrance filling the air. However, when he lifted his gaze to Qinqing, he witnessed her unwavering vigilance, her pale hands tightly clutching the bedcovers.
"If you feel restless and cannot sleep, I can sleep on the sofa in the living room for the night."
"Alright."
The night wind's valiant attempt to soothe Qinqing's troubled soul proved futile. His heart sank, his spirit deflated.
He dejectedly embraced the blanket and left the room, his words a mere formality.
...
Nightwind, a creature of routine, spent the morning of the next day stretching his limbs and purchasing breakfast. But his efforts were in vain. Qinqing remained unmoved, her face as serene as ever.
She donned a sky-blue professional suit, her natural elegance radiating an ethereal beauty. She declined breakfast, leaving only a cryptic instruction. "Please take Jingsi to school. I'll pick her up in the afternoon."
With that, she vanished, leaving the night wind alone with his unanswered prayers.
I can accompany you. The night wind whispered.
However, the response to the night wind's whisper remained that enchanting silhouette.
At this moment, Yang Yu said, "If you truly wish to live in this place, find a decent job. Don't let Qing Han suffer alone."
After saying that, Yang Yu and Qin Zhi went to send Jing Si to school.
The night wind sighed and said, "It's time for work."
The work in the night wind's mouth was not to find a job, but the secret mission he had undertaken after returning to the city.
So, the night wind Wu took out his phone and dialed a number. "Where is Lin Qiang's office?" he asked.
...
Haizhou City is an autonomous city in Huaxia, where countless business giants gather. Qin Qing Han's purpose for this trip is the Wind Hao Engineering project located in Haizhou's development zone.
It is said that a high-end villa district will be built there covering an area of thousands of mu, attracting many companies eager to cooperate with the Wind Hao Engineering project. After all, the oil and water resources here are quite abundant.
The project department of the Wind Hao Engineering project is set up in a row of large two-story simple houses. When Qin Qing Han parked his low-spec Snow Leopard in the parking lot, it immediately attracted the attention of many people nearby.
These people are workers and young men with tattoos on their arms.
The low-spec Snow Leopard has made these young men feel disdainful, because every day when they come here to discuss cooperation, everyone arrives in luxury cars.
However, when Qin Qing Han, dressed in professional attire, got out of the driver's seat, everyone's eyes were immediately captivated.
Even many people blew their whistles.
In such a chaotic workshop, where even women are rarely seen, let alone a stunning beauty like Qin Qing Han.
"Beautiful woman, what's the matter?"
Several young men surrounded her, their gazes lingering over Qin Qinghan's exquisite figure, a playful smile dancing in their eyes. Though accustomed to the attention, Qin Qinghan felt a twinge of unease knowing she had arrived in the territory of the ruthless Jin Bao.
"Hello, I am Qin Qinghan from the Qin Group. I'd like to discuss a project with you." she said, her voice unwavering despite the tension in the air.
The young men's faces lit up at the prospect of a beautiful woman discussing business. One eagerly volunteered to accompany her.
They soon arrived at the office of Jin Bao, who was known for his temper and ruthless business tactics.
"Someone's here to discuss a project," the young man informed him at the entrance.
"Bah! Waste of my time. Tell them to leave me alone." Jin Bao barked, still half-asleep on his boss chair.
But when he caught a glimpse of Qin Qinghan's graceful figure and captivating beauty, his anger dissipated like smoke. He stammered, unable to continue his outburst.
Overwhelmed by her beauty, Jin Bao's initial hostility melted away. He poured her a glass of wine and offered her a seat.
However, the office exuded an unpleasant odor, hinting at illicit activities. The presence of a liquor cabinet, a massage table, and a large bed further confirmed Qin Qinghan's growing unease.
As he approached the young man, Jinbao smiled and looked at Qinqinghan, saying, "Which company is this beauty from?"
The young man understood immediately and blushed, closing the door tightly.
Seeing the door closed, Qinqinghan felt a loss of confidence. She sighed and said, "Mr. Jin, I am Qinqinghan from Qin Group. We hope to partner with Fenghao Engineering. I hope you will give us this opportunity."
Jinbao chuckled, glancing at Qinqinghan's graceful figure and stunning beauty. "So it's Qin Group. I heard that Qin Guangnan's granddaughter is known for her filial piety. She must be you."
Qinqinghan's face grew pale. This was a wound she had never been able to erase. Every time the subject was mentioned, she felt like her heart was being pierced.
Therefore, Qinqinghan's tone became stiff. "Mr. Jin, Qin Group is willing to reduce our profit margin to the lowest. We only need to partner with Fenghao Engineering. What are your other conditions?"
Jinbao still had a playful smile on his face. "Ms. Qin, you must know that this project is huge. Many companies, including some that wouldn't even take a profit, are willing to partner with us. What makes you think you deserve this opportunity?"
He sat in his chair and motioned for her to sit next to him.
Qinqinghan's brow furrowed. She wasn't stupid. She understood Jinbao's intentions.
She wanted to leave, but she couldn't afford to lose this opportunity. Her father's loan was due soon, and if she failed, she might lose her job.
So, she gritted her teeth and sat down, one meter away from Jinbao.
Jinbao's eyes lingered on Qinqinghan's curvy figure, but her professional attire was too conservative to reveal anything. He hinted at her vulnerability, then pushed a glass of red wine towards her. "Ms. Qin, let me tell you, whoever partners with us will be doing me a favor. If you want a share of the profits, here's what you do... drink this, lie down on that bed, and I'll take care of you."
He extended his chubby hand towards her thigh.
