316: Chapter 295: Noticing the Identity 316: Chapter 295: Noticing the Identity Hmph!
I’m curious to see just who the chairman is eting with, sneaking around like that.
Huang Zishan hid in a corner of the garden and began ruthlessly plucking flowers.
After destroying who knows how many delicate flowers, Huang Zishan finally waited out the person, but they didn’t co in from outside—they were leaving from inside.
“Liu Hun!” Huang Zishan yelled and imdiately sprang out.
All hope is lost!
How co this girl suddenly started paying her IQ bill today, Liu Hun thought with a chuckle as he looked at Huang Zishan, “What a coincidence running into you here.
Nice weather we’re having, see you later!”
“You co back here!
What do you an, ‘see you later’!” Huang Zishan said, huffing as she dragged Liu Hun back.
She wouldn’t let Liu Hun slip away that easily.
Liu Hun smiled and explained, “I’ve got so urgent business to attend to right now; if I’m delayed, it won’t be good.”
Huang Zishan put her hands on her hips, looking like a wife who’s caught her husband sneaking out of a massage parlor, and demanded, “Why are you coming out from the inside?”
“There’s only one door here.
Where else would I co out from?
If I popped out of the ground, I might just scare you to death!” Liu Hun could only spout nonsense to Huang Zishan; he absolutely had no way of saying he’d just been having a water-pistol battle with the chairman in the bathtub.
“Ah right…
No, wait!
What I an is why are you coming out from the inside, when did you go in?
The chairman was clearly taking a bath in the bathtub just before!” Huang Zishan walked around Liu Hun, pointed at him and accused, “Oh, look at you, Mr.
Liu!
Have you been up to no good with the chairman?”
With a pained expression, Liu Hun said, “Right now, I really have a very important eting to go to.
It’s about the acquisition of Green Power Shares.
If I’m late, it’d be terrible.
Let’s talk about this next ti we et.”
Huang Zishan saw Liu Hun trying to make a getaway and wasn’t going to give him the chance.
She directly grabbed Liu Hun’s arm and declared, “Hmph!
Who knows when that’ll be next ti; it could be years!
No way!
You’re taking with you.
We’ll talk as we walk.”
Liu Hun had t many a hanger-on but never one as insistent as Huang Zishan, so he complied, taking her to et the righteous securities analyst, Ning Qiaohan.
Along the way, Huang Zishan switched back into her interrogation mode, and Liu Hun, without any resistance left, gave in and spilled all the beans.
Liu Hun was genuinely worried about Huang Zishan’s emotional reaction, but to his surprise, after a long pause, she comnted, “Poor Sister Qingdie.
Sigh, after all this, she ends up with an unreliable guy like you.”
“What?
I’m unreliable?” Liu Hun thought Huang Zishan would co up with so profound advice after all this, but instead, she just dropped such a remark.
Huang Zishan tilted her little mouth, pointing at Liu Hun and said, “I won’t even get started on how many won you have; I’m not the least bit bothered by it.
It’s only because I don’t hold it against you, but what about Qingdie?
I always feel she’s been wronged being involved with you.”
“You don’t hold it against ?
Qingdie with ?
What kind of conclusion is this?
Am I really soone who could drown in a puddle?” Liu Hun had never imagined failing at life to this extent.
At this mont, Huang Zishan took on the earnest tone of soone who’s been through life, advising, “In the future, you must treat Qingdie well, and you can’t bully her.
Those other ssy won of yours can’t either.
Also, they can’t take up too much ti; you have to leave so for too!”
“Ah?!” Liu Hun felt like he couldn’t keep up with Huang Zishan’s pace; things were moving too fast, suddenly switching to her now.
“Ah what?
You should feel lucky that I even fancy you, that I don’t despise you!
Have I ever complained about all those won of yours?
And here you are, ‘ah-ing’!
Just be secretly happy,” Huang Zishan said, and with that, she hooked her arm through Liu Hun’s, feeling absolutely jubilant on the inside.
“That settles it then, no going back on it,” Huang Zishan added on her own, her heart long harboring admiration for Liu Hun and treating Hu Qingdie as a confidante.
Although she often felt Liu Hun was entangled with too many won, after much thought…
never mind, she was set on having this man!
“Hey hey hey!
I’m driving, don’t hold on too tight,” he protested.
“I will!”
“There could be a car accident; there might be a hearse drifting later.”
“Let it drift.
It’s best if we go to heaven together.”
“What if you end up in hell?”
“Then I’ll just accompany you one…
What?!
Jinx!
You’d have to accompany !”
“…”
Liu Hun finally managed to drive to Valencia Café, despite being constantly tugged by Huang Zishan, at least there had been no car accident.
“We’re here to talk about serious stuff; don’t interrupt with nonsense,” Liu Hun instructed Huang Zishan, a genuinely serious matter at hand.
Huang Zishan stuck out her tongue and replied, “I know!”
After the two entered the café, in accordance with the contact they had over the phone earlier, Liu Hun t Ning Qiaohan—sporting curly chestnut hair, legs encased in black silk stockings, a radiant face with an affable smile that didn’t quite fit the typical securities person image Liu Hun had in mind, except for the impeccably tailored ladies’ suit she wore.
“You really can bump into beautiful won wherever you go!” Huang Zishan was quite filled with jealousy as she muttered behind Liu Hun’s back, then grabbed Liu Hun’s arm conspicuously as if to show off.
“Let’s talk business!
Let’s talk business!” Liu Hun quickly responded to Huang Zishan.
After exchanging pleasantries and introducing each other with Ning Qiaohan, Liu Hun sat down to get to the main topic.
“Mr.
Liu, I’ve long heard of your great reputation.
It’s better to et face to face,” Ning Qiaohan said to Liu Hun, flipping her hair elegantly.
Flaunting what charm, I’m prettier than you!
Huang Zishan looked on uncomfortably, thinking that she was not inferior to Ning Qiaohan in terms of looks.
However, the two had completely different styles, one being the innocent school beauty, and the other the OL (office lady) beauty.
“Miss Ning flatters too much.
Director Cui must have already told you about the specifics, right?” Liu Hun said to Ning Qiaohan.
When it ca to business, Ning Qiaohan’s smile faded a bit, and she nodded, “Director Cui has made it very clear to , but there are three issues.”
“Go ahead,” Liu Hun replied, admittedly not very clear about these matters.
“First, the funds must be in place in advance, and the larger the amount, the more preparation is needed.
Second, you need to tell the approximate timing of when to start the acquisition.
Third, I will charge a fee of 0.5 percent,” Ning Qiaohan laid out the issues to Liu Hun.
Liu Hun nodded, “The funds have been prepared, and the accounts are all set up; we can complete this today.
I will inform you of the specific timing for the acquisition.
As for the fee, I can certainly accept it.”
“That’s good, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation,” Ning Qiaohan said to Liu Hun with a bright smile.
“However… this matter is of great importance, and I hope Miss Ning can keep it confidential,” Liu Hun said to Ning Qiaohan, knowing that this business, put crudely, was akin to stealing chickens and dogs; and when stealing chickens, you can’t let everyone know about it.
“Mr.
Liu, please rest assured, I have the professional integrity required,” Ning Qiaohan replied to Liu Hun with another charming smile, her eyes seemingly holding a different kind of sentint.
When they left the coffee house, Huang Zishan clung to Liu Hun’s arm and said, “Did you notice that there was sothing off about that woman’s gaze at you just now?”
“Do you really think I’m a woman magnet, that I attract won wherever I go?” Liu Hun was exasperated with Huang Zishan; sotis he could not fathom the pattern of her actions – or rather, the lack thereof.
“Magnet my foot, just sticking to is enough.
Now that we’re done with business, let’s go shopping,” Huang Zishan said, pulling Liu Hun along excitedly.
“Shopping?” Liu Hun asked in surprise, having not realized this was part of their itinerary.
“Nonsense!
Of course, we go shopping when in love!
Let’s go!” Huang Zishan didn’t care much for details, dragging Liu Hun towards Macy’s with a plan in mind – today she was going to max out his credit card!
As soon as Liu Hun stepped out of the coffee house, a woman who had been sitting at the next table slowly stood up and sat across from Ning Qiaohan.
“My dear Chairman, are you satisfied with this arrangent?” Ning Qiaohan said to the woman across from her.
The woman, wearing black-frad glasses and exuding intellectual charm, had a beauty mark on the corner of her mouth that seed to tug at people’s hearts with her every smile and glance.
Her legs could outshine many a model’s and she paid no mind to the occasional passing n who glanced at her.
“Satisfied!
I’m satisfied with everything you do,” the woman said to Ning Qiaohan with a smile, picking up the coffee cup that Liu Hun had been using and sniffing it near her nose.
“Are you sure he is the one?” Ning Qiaohan suddenly asked seriously, her voice quivering slightly with either excitent or nervousness.
The charming woman with the beauty mark gave a little shudder, then quickly covered a trembling sphere on her body, taking so ti to recover before her mouth turned into an enticing smile, “With such a strong scent, there’s no mistake.
I’ve encountered him in ‘that place’ before.”
“That’s great!” Ning Qiaohan, quite excited, clenched her fists and then asked the seductive woman, “What should we do next?”
The seductive woman slowly put down the coffee cup, her expression turning sowhat serious as she told Ning Qiaohan, “Has there been any news from Qin Yishan?”
At the ntion of Qin Yishan, Ning Qiaohan sowhat curled her lip, “Just a Public Security Departnt Chief, she’s good for nothing but fighting; we can’t rely on her.”
“Unity!” the seductive woman corrected Ning Qiaohan with a aningful smile on her face.
“I can’t stand it,” Ning Qiaohan retorted in disbelief.
“You’re the one who always plays the good Samaritan, making us work our asses off for money.
And where does that money go?
To those who do nothing!
Qin Yishan and her associates at least know to keep things moderate.
But that surna Rao and her people flaunt themselves on TV, who would know they’re all living off our di!”
“You, you,” the woman cautioned with a shake of her head and a smile.
“You can say these things in front of , but you absolutely mustn’t blabber them outside.”
Having vented her complaints, Ning Qiaohan resud her conversation with the seductive woman, “The news from Qin Yishan’s side is that ‘that person’s’ power has clashed with Liu Hun’s.”
The seductive woman pursed her lips, pondered for a while, and then said, “Liu Hun is getting stronger step by step, it was only a matter of ti before he would confront that person’s power.
Is that person now aware of Liu Hun’s identity?”
