Secretary Wang was startled, nearly mistaking the accelerator for the brake.

The car had just come to a stop when Qin Zhiyou immediately said, “Back home.”

“What?”

“Back home.” He saw the message from Lu Weixi on his phone. It clearly read, “Have a safe journey.” This was the first time she had ever actively shown concern for him!

— Of course, it wasn’t entirely accurate to say that. She had expressed concern for him in the past as well. On the days when she would ask him for living expenses every month, she couldn’t have been more eager. However, excluding the purely exploitative interactions, this was a first.

“Mr. Qin, did you forget to bring something important?”

Secretary Wang looked at him, filled with puzzled joy.

Qin Zhiyou did not speak, only kept saying, “Back home.”

“I’m sorry Mr. Qin.” Secretary Wang gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator, driving the car further away. Qin Zhiyou was furious, “I told you to go back, don’t you understand?”

“Mr. Qin, our flight leaves at seven, arrives at nine thirty, and we’ll likely get to the hotel by ten thirty. We still have to prepare and pack. You have to present at two in the afternoon, and this significant event has many leaders present. We can’t mess it up.”

Luckily, he had checked today’s weather forecast, Yan City and Xincheng both looked promising. This flight had a punctuality rate above 90%, so Qin Zhiyou had to come back, yet he hadn’t strongly opposed.

“Moreover, can’t you discuss whatever it is tonight? We’re coming back tonight anyway.”

Of course, Qin Zhiyou understood that work was crucial, particularly the event this afternoon—it was impermissible for errors.

The two most important aspects of the real estate business are capital and connections. The financial aspect entails dealing with banks whereas connections are garnered through events like this afternoon’s. Regardless of how much gossip there was about him, he never acknowledged any of these women, including Liu Yiyi. Moreover, society generally accepts men who are prone to lust, as long as their work ethic was undoubtable, minor character flaws wouldn’t matter too much. So, he still garnered appreciation from his superiors.

Even appointing him to deliver the closing speech to all guests confirmed Hanhai’s position and his capabilities.

Upon thinking this, he gradually calmed himself, taking a deep breath.

Indeed, there was plenty of time, he had ample opportunities to spend time with her. – As a result, he had to be the first one back tonight!

In the afternoon, Lu Weixi’s team finally signed a contract with the Siyi Company.

When signing the contract, President Liao arrived and was quite surprised to see Lu Weixi. “Qin…”

“It’s time to sign the contract, right?” Lu Weixi immediately interrupted him, with understanding dawning upon Liao instantly. Nodding, Lu Weixi began to introduce herself: “Good to meet you, President Liao. I’m a designer from Lulu Design Institute, here to sign our contract. We have reviewed all the details and did not find any discrepancies. Feel free to voice any additional requests.”

President Liao shook his head and signed the document swiftly. The Lulu Company was merely a mid-sized company that performed interior decoration. Although Lu was somewhat renowned, she was just a designer in the housing refurbishment industry.

In the past, even if renowned designers from big companies wanted to win such a huge project, they would have to offer numerous bribes, including treating clients to dine, entertain, give gifts, and sometimes even provide women along with other benefits.. It was unexpected that Lu actually won this project purely based on capability, almost like a fairytale!
