68: Chapter 68 A Fleeting Encounter

Qian Zhaodi was an only child; no matter how hard her parents tried, they never had a younger brother.

Fortunately, Qian Zhaodi was quite adventurous and had a masculine personality. She had always been strong-willed and started helping out at the factory from a young age.

Old Master Qian had no sons in his life, so he could only pass the factory down to his daughter to inherit. To cultivate her, he even sent her to study abroad in France, majoring in fashion design.

France, known as the City of Romance, was quite liberal regarding relationships between men and women, so Qian Zhaodi was subtly changed and wasn't as reserved about such matters.

While back home inheriting the factory, to establish herself among the men, she often frequented nightclubs to discuss business. To show her open-mindedness, she frequently hired male escorts to accompany her.

That's why she always believed the reason she was better looking than Zhuang Hua was that she possessed feminine charm, unlike Zhuang Hua, who was reserved and pretentious.

As the saying goes, benevolence cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot manage wealth.

To grow and strengthen the factory, she didn't hesitate to sacrifice her looks, actively offering herself to Chen Hao, hoping to firmly tie down the expert by using their 'stolen answers' connection.

She had actually been planning everything, and even Wang Lichun was deliberately arranged by her to test Chen Hao's bottom line.

As expected, Chen Hao did not disappoint her. Men rarely refuse a woman's temptation, especially a woman as attractive as herself.

That night, taking advantage of the breakup incident with Zhuang Hua, Qian Zhaodi deliberately created an opportunity and took Chen Hao.

The battle in the bathroom was very satisfying, accompanied by the thrill of 'stealing.'

Afterward, Qian Zhaodi's legs were weak; she never imagined Chen Hao could be so fierce in that regard.

"Hoo, exciting."

Qian Zhaodi wiped the stains off her body, steadied herself by leaning against the wall, and looked at Chen Hao with seductive eyes.

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell your girlfriend?" Chen Hao asked casually while washing his hands.

"Aren't you afraid I'll ruin you until you go bankrupt?" Qian Zhaodi was stunned.

"I was just kidding. Why are you so sensitive?" Chen Hao gave her a look.

"Adults must take responsibility for what they say and do," Qian Zhaodi seized on the loophole and questioned.

"How does CEO Chen plan to take responsibility for me?"

"By going all out to help you make the brand bigger and stronger. How about that?"

"Deal." Qian Zhaodi proactively extended her hand and shook Chen Hao's.

"I just like men like you—capable and charming. If you ever want to try something new in the future, remember to come find me anytime."

Chen Hao pulled her waist into an embrace.

"Do you want to maintain this relationship long-term?"

"What else? Our cooperation isn't just for a day or two. It's not easy to make it last forever. As long as I'm not married or have a boyfriend, I guarantee I'll be there whenever you call."

Chen Hao liked open-minded women like her. However, on second thought, Qian Zhaodi's current favorability rating was only 80. Her goddess token was a painting, so whether he pursued it or not didn't matter much. To obtain her token, it seemed he would need to encourage her to paint more in the future.

The two walked out of the bathroom affectionately, cuddling on the sofa and chatting idly until they felt drowsy and dozed off.

"Buzz buzz."

The vibration of his phone woke Chen Hao up.

When he opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. Qian Zhaodi was sleeping soundly with her head resting on Chen Hao's thigh.

Chen Hao took out his phone to check; it was a call from Sun Nana. He answered.

"Brother Hao, the company asked me to contact you today to continue coordinating the process."

"Today?"

"Brother Hao, besides me, Lin Xiaomeng will also be joining."

Chen Hao paused.

"Why is Lin Xiaomeng joining you?"

"No need to ask. Wang Liguo sent her to supervise us, what else?"

"I think Wang Liguo has bad intentions."

"So, are we still coordinating today?"

"Of course, we'll coordinate. I'll try to finish dealing with all the clients by the morning."

Qian Zhaodi was woken up. She sat up and stretched languidly.

"Ah~"

Sun Nana immediately asked on the phone.

"Why did I hear a woman's voice? Is that your cousin?"

"No, you misheard." Chen Hao immediately made a shushing gesture toward Qian Zhaodi.

Qian Zhaodi gave Chen Hao a look and walked straight into the bedroom.

Sun Nana on the phone didn't press the issue.

"Tell me a meeting location, and we'll take a taxi over right away."

Chen Hao thought for a moment. Since Lin Xiaomeng insisted on getting involved, he might as well anger her to death.

"Go to the mall. I'll be there shortly."

After hanging up, when Chen Hao arrived at the bedroom door, Zhuang Hua had also woken up and was rubbing her throbbing head.

"I have something in the morning, let's meet up later."

"Zhao Di, let me borrow your car for one more day, and please look after Zhang Menglu for me too."

Qian Zhaodi questioned him.

"Where are you going to mess around again?" Chen Hao said while putting on his shoes.

"Coordinating in the morning, attending an appointment in the afternoon."

After Chen Hao left, Qian Zhaodi pointed at the door and said.

"See? He leaves his girlfriend with me and goes off on a date by himself. Men like him are typical scumbags. You must stay far away from them if you ever meet one."

Zhuang Hua knew whose appointment Chen Hao was keeping. She said while changing her clothes.

"He's going to meet CEO Wei. CEO Wei has a private gathering today; only important people attend. Ordinary people can't get in. Huh, where is my underwear?"

Qian Zhaodi asked.

"Didn't you give it all to Chen Hao? He left carrying a bag just now, didn't you see?"

"Oh, I drank too much and forgot."

Chen Hao got into the audi, opened the bag he was carrying, and found twenty-four pieces of women's underwear in total. Zhuang Hua's favorability rating reached 90. Adding the bra Wang Lichun gave him last night, he redeemed a total of 2260 points.

"Current available points: 3978."

"Hahaha, no matter how much money you can make, you can't make as much as me!" Chen Hao started the audi with a chuckle and drove straight toward Guangcheng's most famous mall.

Sun Nana and Lin Xiaomeng arrived first. While waiting outside the mall, the two women disliked each other and remained silent, the atmosphere tense, as if gunpowder smoke filled the air.

Fortunately, the two women didn't have to wait long. Chen Hao drove up, and before he even got out of the car, he saw them.

Sun Nana was impeccable; her short skirt paired with professional attire was both attractive and fashionable.

Lin Xiaomeng still wore heavy makeup—foundation and eyeshadow. Under the high summer heat, with a little sweat, the makeup on her face would easily start to cake.

Chen Hao walked toward the two women, and their expressions were varied.

Sun Nana beamed happily, while Lin Xiaomeng rolled her eyes.

"Brother Hao."

Chen Hao nodded in greeting and questioned Lin Xiaomeng.

"Did Wang Liguo send you here to disgust me?"

"If you can't speak nicely, then don't speak at all." Lin Xiaomeng rolled her eyes and spoke sarcastically.

"I am HR; I am responsible for supervising the coordination. Moreover, President Wang said if we secure fewer than five clients today, I won't transfer any money to you."

"Learning to be smart. Let's go. Let's browse the mall first and buy some things."

Chen Hao took the lead entering the mall doors, followed closely by Sun Nana, while Lin Xiaomeng reluctantly trailed behind.

Chen Hao's supposed 'buying some things first' meant heading straight for the luxury goods store.

Lin Xiaomeng questioned him.

"Chen Hao, why are you browsing the luxury goods store? Don't you know you have work to do?"

Chen Hao completely ignored her.

"I am working. Nana, just browse casually. I'll buy you whatever you want."
