431: Chapter 431 Don't worry, I won't fall for it.

Over the past few days, General Manager Tang Yuqiao had been visiting the Municipal Party Committee Compound quite frequently, coming almost every day.

And so, today she knocked and entered the Municipal Party Secretary's office once again.

"Brother Qin, busy again?"

As soon as she entered, she spoke in a coy, flirtatious voice. Instead of calling him "Secretary Qin," she called him "Brother Qin," acting very intimate.

Qin Chuan frowned slightly and reminded her, "General Manager Tang, please mind your conduct in a formal setting. Otherwise, I will ask you to leave."

General Manager Tang Yuqiao said coquettishly, "Secretary Qin, there's no need to be so serious. I was just joking with you."

Qin Chuan said, "State your business."

General Manager Tang Yuqiao said, "It's nothing major. It's still about the pre-sales. Secretary Qin, could you..."

Before she could finish, she was interrupted. Qin Chuan said with a serious expression, "No. I have already stated my position clearly on this matter. Pre-sales are impossible. The risk is too high. If the project ends up unfinished, who will protect the interests of the homebuyers?"

General Manager Tang Yuqiao said, "Secretary Qin, our HD Group is one of the top real estate groups in the country. We have great strength and even more immense capital. How could it possibly become an unfinished project?"

Heh.

In a few years, Boss Xu would owe trillions, countless housing developments would be left unfinished, and numerous homebuyers would be ruined.

Such a thing would absolutely not be allowed to happen in Dongjiang City.

Qin Chuan said, "If it's about the pre-sales, don't say another word. Advance pre-sales are absolutely out of the question."

Seeing that he was so firm, General Manager Tang Yuqiao, being a smart woman, knew she needed to take a roundabout approach. She said, "Secretary Qin, then let's not mention the pre-sales today. It's like this: our company has an important event, and I've come to invite you to attend."

Qin Chuan waved his hand and said, "I won't be attending any events. I'm very busy."

His sixth sense told him that attending the event wouldn't lead to anything good; he felt like there was a trap waiting for him.

If it were a trap, the losses would outweigh any potential gains.

As for this General Manager Tang Yuqiao, Qin Chuan felt she was more like a social butterfly, and her approaching him was definitely with a purpose.

Although she was very beautiful, he had to resist the temptation. He couldn't let her set a trap for him. He would keep his distance whenever possible.

Furthermore, he had heard that General Manager Tang Yuqiao was quite close to Mayor Liu. His secretary, Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tianxiong, had already reported several times that General Manager Tang Yuqiao and Mayor Liu were in contact.

Even after being rejected, General Manager Tang Yuqiao didn't get angry. There were plenty of opportunities. She was very confident in her charm and firmly believed that even if she failed this time, there would always be a chance for success.

"Secretary Qin, it's really hot in here. What's the air conditioner set to?"

As she spoke, she unbuttoned one of the buttons on her blouse.

Who could withstand such a thing?

For most men, their gaze would likely sink deep inside and wouldn't be able to pull away.

Qin Chuan naturally saw it. He had to admit she was indeed beautiful, but he still had some self-control. With a serious expression, he said, "General Manager Tang, if there's nothing else, please leave. I'm very busy."

General Manager Tang Yuqiao said, "Secretary Qin, here is the invitation. If you have time, you must come to our company's event."

After saying that, she leaned over and placed the beautifully prepared invitation on Qin Chuan's large desk. As she leaned over, it was a sight to behold.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly, signaling that she could leave.

General Manager Tang Yuqiao swayed her hips as she walked out of the Municipal Party Secretary's office.

She thought to herself, I don't believe there's a cat in the world that doesn't like fish. Next time I'll be even more proactive; I don't believe you'll be able to hold back.

Secretary Qin is truly handsome, even more so than those male celebrities. It wouldn't be a loss for me if something were to happen between us...

At noon, Qin Chuan went home after work.

Villa No. 1 was not far from the Municipal Party Committee Compound, less than a ten-minute walk. Qin Chuan usually chose to walk.

When he got home, the meal was already prepared.

There were dedicated chefs and nannies, so he didn't have to worry about a thing. Additionally, Zhu Qingxi stayed here most of the time, only occasionally returning to the capital to visit their two children.

"Hubby, you're back. You've worked hard."

Zhu Qingxi took the initiative to serve Qin Chuan his rice and sat down for lunch together.

After a few bites, Zhu Qingxi reminded him, "Hubby, I heard there's a beauty named General Manager Tang Yuqiao who's been running to your office every day."

Qin Chuan smiled. "Wife, are you jealous?"

"I'm not jealous."

Qin Chuan said, "Wife, although General Manager Tang Yuqiao is beautiful, she's still a bit lacking compared to my wife. Don't worry, I won't make any mistakes."

Being praised for her beauty by her husband, Zhu Qingxi felt a sweetness in her heart.

"Hubby, that General Manager Tang Yuqiao doesn't look like a good woman at first glance. I'm worried she has ulterior motives for approaching you."

"Mhm, I know. I'll be careful."

Time flew by, and National Day was soon approaching.

Dongjiang City's annual Tourism and Culture Festival was held. It was very lively, grand, and festive, with many celebrities, big shots, and professionals from various industries invited to attend.

As the Municipal Party Secretary, Qin Chuan delivered a speech at the festival's opening ceremony. In the evening, Dongjiang City also held a grand banquet.

Many people proactively and enthusiastically came over to toast Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan was also very warm and had almost no air of a Municipal Party Secretary. He would clink glasses with anyone who came to toast him and take at least a sip.

To his surprise, General Manager Tang Yuqiao also came over to offer a toast.

Today, she was dressed exquisitely. At the banquet, she became a beautiful sight to behold, with many men's gazes lingering on her.

General Manager Tang Yuqiao enjoyed this feeling.

She thought to herself, Secretary Qin, I'm so beautiful; it's impossible for you to remain indifferent.

"Secretary Qin, let me toast you. I wish Dongjiang City's tourism becomes more and more popular."

She took the initiative to toast him and spoke beautifully. Qin Chuan smiled, lightly clinked glasses with her, and took a small sip.

After finishing the toast, General Manager Tang Yuqiao invited him, "Secretary Qin, may I have a dance with you?"

To enhance the banquet's atmosphere, a large dance floor had been set up in the center of the hall. The lights and music were ready, and many people were already dancing there.

Qin Chuan really wanted to refuse.

But many voices rose from around them.

"Secretary Qin, have a dance!"

"Have a dance! Have a dance!"

These hecklers had likely never seen the Municipal Party Secretary dance and were curious, wanting to satisfy their curiosity.

Qin Chuan shook his head slightly. It seemed he had no choice but to dance, so he extended his right hand.

General Manager Tang Yuqiao was overjoyed and quickly reached out with her soft hand. The two of them walked hand-in-hand into the center of the dance floor and began to dance to the music.

Before even a minute had passed, Qin Chuan felt a hint of regret. This General Manager Tang Yuqiao was leaning in too close; she was practically pressed against him.

This made many people envious. Having such a great beauty throw herself at him must feel amazing, right?
