Capítulo 1522: Chapter 1515: Can I Hold You?
“Opinion?”
Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lin Qianru paused, didn’t speak imdiately, but after a mont of pondering, she slowly said, “Zhiqing, I think our priority shouldn’t be to continue expanding Bai’s Group, but to halt expansion, take a step back, and reinforce our foundation. This comrcial war has made Bai’s Group a shining force, displaying its strength and muscle, making it the biggest winner.”
“But as the saying goes, ‘A tree stands tall in the forest, yet the wind will destroy it.’ In comrce, cooperation is the key to a win-win situation. We’ve already offended many groups; if we rashly expand further now and let them seize the opportunity, Bai’s Group will surely face fatal consequences. Therefore, reinforcing our foundation is what Bai’s Group must do. Regarding the acquisition of Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group’s assets, I suggest abandoning this idea.”
“After all, we’ve already earned quite a lot this ti. If we go ahead and swallow everything, we’ll just beco a target for everyone, which is not worth it. Also, if we really take over Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group’s assets, Bai’s Group will spread too thin, making us vulnerable to flaws that others can exploit. More importantly, we should develop Tianhe Resort as quickly as possible, and then partner with the Angel group to create a new product, aiming to enter the international market in the shortest ti.”
Bai Zhiqing didn’t speak all along, only after Lin Qianru finished did she say, “Qian Ru, you’re right. The last financial war has made the business world wary of us. Touching the assets of Dingtian Group and Jiang Feng Group now will indeed make us a target. Also, you’re correct, the urgent matter is to develop Tianhe Resort. I had intended to make Tianhe Resort the leading resort in the country, so why not take bold asures to make Tianhe Resort a world-class resort? Qian Ru, what do you think?”
Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lin Qianru’s eyes sparkled. After pondering for a mont, she replied, “Zhiqing, you’re right, Tianhe Resort is indeed our company’s top priority in the recent years; however, if we want to make it a world-renowned top resort, its current size is far from enough. At the very least, we need to acquire all the lands surrounding Tianhe Resort for prolonged developnt. But if we do this, it will likely require massive funds.”
“Funds? We lack everything now except money. Besides, don’t forget there’s also Lin Demon and her team. This ti, we’re not just going to do it, but do it the best, making Tianhe Resort an unparalleled resort in the world.”
Bai Zhiqing’s eyes sparkled with ambitious light. Initially, Bai’s Group aid to win the bid for Tianhe Resort and make it a nationally renowned resort. Now, Bai’s Group’s strength and foundation have surpassed those of a few months ago, so it’s determined to transform this resort into a world-class resort. When people ntion Modu, the first thing that cos to mind should be Tianhe Resort, just like when they ntion Dubai, they first think of its seven-star Burj Al Arab and its wealth everywhere.”
“Alright, after the press conference ends tomorrow, I’ll go talk to the people at the top in the afternoon, and see if we can acquire all the lands surrounding Tianhe Resort. There shouldn’t be too much of a problem,” Lin Qianru said to Bai Zhiqing.
“Alright, Qian Ru, this matter is entrusted to you then.”
Bai Zhiqing nodded. There weren’t many people she could completely trust within Bai’s Group, but Lin Qianru was definitely one of them. Entrusting this matter to Lin Qianru filled her with confidence.
“Okay.”
Lin Qianru nodded lightly, seemingly recalling sothing, she said to Bai Zhiqing, “By the way, Zhiqing, didn’t Tianxing go to attend an alumni reunion with Xiao Man? They should be back around now. How about we prepare so midnight snacks? After all, the food at the banquet is hardly filling, and if Xiao Man runs into that old rival like last ti, she might not even attend the reunion and co straight ho. When Tianxing returns, he won’t have to cook for himself.”
Being her confidante, Lin Qianru naturally knew Xue Man’s matters clearly, and had seen Bai Jingjing once, also aware that Bai Jingjing and Xue Man don’t get along. Last ti, if it weren’t for her stopping them, Xue Man might have fought Bai Jingjing. If Bai Jingjing attends the reunion this ti, Xue Man will undoubtedly lose her temper.
“You’re right, Qian Ru. Oh, Qian Ru, your cooking skills are quite good, why not take the opportunity to teach ?” Bai Zhiqing said with a smile.
“No problem, let’s head to the kitchen now.”
“Okay.”
Upon hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Bai Zhiqing smiled and nodded, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards the nearby kitchen with Lin Qianru.
For Bai Zhiqing, she gradually got accustod to this lifestyle, accustod to having Lu Tianxing by her side. She knew that besides her and Lin Qianru, Lu Tianxing might have other won around him. But Bai Zhiqing chose to turn a blind eye; she chose to play dumb for love.
Moreover, she believed that in Lu Tianxing’s heart, she had always been the most important one. More importantly, she was the one who Lu Tianxing had legally married, becoming his legally recognized wife. No matter how many won surround Lu Tianxing in the future, Bai Zhiqing would always be his wife; in ancient tis she’d be the Empress ruling over the land, while others would rely be concubines, nowhere near her in terms of status and importance.
And historically, concubines could be disposed of at any ti, but who has ever seen a casually disposed Empress? The hierarchy is clear and evident.
Elsewhere, Lu Tianxing had smoothly driven and dropped Xue Man off at the base of her apartnt building.
Once the car was steadily parked downstairs, Lu Tianxing turned his head to look at Xue Man, who hadn’t uttered a word since she got into the car. He said, “Minister Xue, you’re ho now.”
“Yes, I know.”
Xue Man snapped back to reality, gently nodded, opened the car door, and got out.
Lu Tianxing glanced at Xue Man, doing the sa—opening the car door and getting out. Seeing Xue Man standing in front of the car, clearly a bit absent-minded, he said, “Minister Xue, I’ve brought you back, and I’ve parked the car here for you. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back now.”
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man suddenly ca to her senses, glanced at Lu Tianxing, took a deep breath, and said, “It’s still a bit of a distance to the Ziyuan District. Why don’t you just take my car back tonight?”
Lu Tianxing shook his head and replied, “Minister Xue, no need to trouble yourself. It’s still a bit early; I’ll just take a taxi back. Minister Xue, I won’t be escorting you upstairs. I’ll be leaving now.”
With those words, Lu Tianxing took a deep breath, turned, and walked toward the entrance of the district.
Xue Man remained motionless, her watery eyes fixed on Lu Tianxing’s back. In the night, her exquisite and beautiful face took on a slightly complex expression.
“Lu Tianxing…,” Xue Man suddenly called out.
“What is it?”
Lu Tianxing ca back to his senses, looking sowhat surprised at Xue Man. Ever since they left Qingcheng Club, he felt sothing was pressing on Xue Man’s heart, but a woman’s heart is as unpredictable as a needle at the bottom of the ocean. He couldn’t guess and didn’t ask what was troubling her.
“Lu Tianxing, can I hug you?”
“What?”
Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned upon hearing Xue Man’s words.
Without waiting for a response, Xue Man moved forward, opening her arms for a full embrace.
Lu Tianxing only felt a waft of fragrance co upon him, followed by the sensation of a soft body against his; Xue Man’s slightly cool, slippery arms hooked around his neck, a faint fragrance emanating from her, stirring his heart.
At this mont, Lu Tianxing could clearly feel how tense and anxious Xue Man was. He took a deep breath, suppressed the flutter in his heart, hesitated slightly, but ultimately stood still, allowing Xue Man to hold him.
Xue Man also didn’t speak, just held Lu Tianxing tightly, as if trying to rge with him.
“Minister Xue, if there’s anything on your mind you can talk about it. Perhaps I can help you in so way. There’s no need to keep everything bottled up; it’s not good for your health,” Lu Tianxing said, taking a deep breath and speaking softly.
Xue Man’s head rested against Lu Tianxing’s chest, rubbing slightly, muttering, “It’s nothing, don’t overthink it. I just feel a little tired and needed a shoulder to lean on. Just think of yourself as a pillar.”
Hearing Xue Man’s words, Lu Tianxing opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing more. Instead, he slowly lifted his hand and placed it on Xue Man’s slender waist, holding her in his arms.
For a mont, the hug seed to last a lengthy eternity, but when they finally separated, it felt as if only a fleeting mont had passed.
Xue Man took a deep breath, a slight blush on her face, looked at Lu Tianxing, and said, “Lu Tianxing, thank you.”
“Haha, Minister Xue, you’re joking. A beauty throws herself into my arms; I’m the one who benefited. Why thank ?”
“Hmph, benefited? If you dare take advantage of , I’ll promptly send you into the palace to serve the Emperor.”
After saying that, Xue Man’s gaze deliberately swept over Lu Tianxing’s crotch, her fists clenching tightly, the aning all too clear.
