Daqi: "My wife, she's the one who told me to bring the money. Hehe!" Daqi laughed innocently.
Suqin: "She's such a kind person. I'm just an ordinary colleague of yours, and she's actually willing to let you help me! You guys are truly the best people in the world!"

Tong Daqi has an incorrigible bad habit—as long as a woman, especially a beautiful woman, praises him, he becomes incredibly arrogant!
Chapter Sixty-One: The Man's Offensive
He said casually, "I'm not much of a guy, but my wife is a real savior! She's incredibly kind-hearted!"
Suqin: "I think she must be a great beauty!"
Daqi looked at Suqin in surprise and asked, "How did you know?"
Suqin chuckled and said, "Intuition, women have a sixth sense. I'll have to thank her properly another day!"
Daqi: "Welcome to our home! My wife cooks very well."
Suqin smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "Even the best man in the world has been taken!"
Daqi laughed and said, "Are you talking about me? Let me tell you, I really am the best man in the world, hehe. Don't flatter me! I'm not as good as you say. That's enough, I should go back now, I've been out for quite a while. Take good care of your cousin, and don't hesitate to tell me if you have any difficulties. I'm leaving now!"
Daqi paid for the two of them's porridge and left the residential area. Suqin escorted him to the outside of the complex.
Suqin: "Daqi, I'll pay you back the surgery fee gradually. Don't worry!"
Daqi smiled and said, "Silly girl, I don't need this little bit of money right now. We'll talk about it when you have it. Don't rush to pay me back, okay?"
Suqin nodded and said nothing more. Daqi finally said to her, "Suqin, don't think too much. Go back and take good care of your sister. I'm going home now." After saying that, Daqi went home.
A new week began, and Daqi arrived at the company. As soon as he entered the Tang Dynasty Building, he saw Suqin at the reception desk. Suqin smiled slightly and nodded at him, making Daqi happy. She looked so beautiful today, her complexion was especially radiant! The woman smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples on her face; she was incredibly cute, truly a rare beauty! In Daqi's opinion, Tang Dynasty Company only had two beauties: one was Suqin, and the other was the "cold-blooded killer" Li Lanyun.
Daqi approached the reception desk; it wasn't officially work time yet. He chatted with Suqin for a while. He asked Suqin how Suyu's condition was, and Suqin said she was resting at home and was fine. Daqi thought Suqin looked especially beautiful today. The usually poised Suqin had a blush on her face today, and she spoke to him like a little girl. Suqin was probably a year older than him, Daqi thought with a smile, and went to the design studio by himself.
Let's talk about Li Lanyun. Daqi's "flower offensive" has achieved initial success. Because Li Lanyun has significantly reduced the number of times she criticizes people in the past three weeks, the "white terror" in the company still exists, but its intensity has lessened. Today, Tong Daqi will implement the second step of his strategy—the "chatting offensive." This is a strategy he's quite confident in. He has had a strength that others haven't noticed since childhood: he's extremely good at in-depth conversations. He's confident that by constantly chatting, he can close the emotional distance with this "cold-blooded" beauty—because he's determined that she's a lonely young woman with a cold exterior but a thirst for love and overflowing passion.
Because her two older sisters, Qianru and Chunxiao, often told her that women, especially young women, cannot live without men, and this is especially true for married young women. Once such women lose their men, their behavior and temperament become very strange.
During the time Daqi was launching his "flower offensive," he consulted Qianru and Chunxiao to analyze Li Lanyun's behavior. Of course, Daqi improvised these consultations with the two beautiful women in bed. Recalling these moments, Tong Daqi couldn't help but feel smug.
The two older sisters seemed to grow younger with each passing year. They possessed considerable experience in sexual intercourse, often finding immense pleasure in it. Daqi was overjoyed to engage in the act of lovemaking with such beautiful young women. Both Qianru and Chunxiao were very compliant and cooperative when he rode them, almost always granting his every wish. When the two sisters were exhausted from being with men in their own homes, they told him: "Brother, Li Lanyun probably has sexual incompatibility, or perhaps she simply doesn't have sex. If she could have a harmonious sex life, I believe the situation would improve significantly." To thank the two sisters for their "scientific" analysis, Daqi released his passion into each of their sexy little mouths. Qianru accepted every drop without fail. Chunxiao, lacking the experience of Qianru, not only had her mouth full of the man's semen, but because her cherry lips couldn't tightly contain his incredibly charming member, her eyes, eyebrows, and pretty nose were also covered in the man's semen. The woman was quite obedient; she scraped the discharge from her mouth with her finger, then put her wet finger into her mouth and sucked it clean. After sucking, Chunxiao gave the man a charming smile and said, "This is the most precious thing in the world, it can't be wasted!" Daqi was very happy; he knew that this stuff could help women with beauty and skincare. Sure enough, the two older women's skin was even smoother than before. However, their skin was originally fair and smooth.
After summarizing his two older sisters' analyses and combining them with his own judgment, Daqi began implementing his "chatting offensive" strategy today. The man believed that the "cold-blooded" beauty must be experiencing problems with her sex life to be acting so abnormally. If she had always been this abnormal, she couldn't have become the HR manager—a high-ranking and important position in the company. At most, she had only become so violent and strange after marriage.
As soon as Daqi finished his design task, he logged into Li Lanyun's QQ account using another, less frequently used account. Using the username "QFCZ," he only typed "Love you, QFCZ" when accepting the verification. Sure enough, the "cold-blooded" beauty accepted his request immediately and started chatting with him. Her QQ name was "Dominate the World."
Dominate the World: Are you QFCZ who always sends me flowers?
QFCZ: I guess so! Do you like those flowers? Flowers accompany beautiful women, so it's perfectly reasonable for you to accept them.
Dominate the world: Do we know each other? Don't bother me!
QFCZ: Do we really have to get to know each other? Can't we just be friends?
Dominate the world: Tell me who you are, and I might consider being your friend.
QFCZ: Don't jump to conclusions. Let's talk first. If you think I'm good enough for you, then we can be friends. I just want to talk to you.
Dominating the World: You start by bringing up a topic.
QFCZ: Do you enjoy interacting with people?
Dominating the world: It used to be okay, but I don't like it anymore.
QFCZ: Why? Are you disappointed in the people around you?
Dominating the world: Maybe.
QFCZ: Actually, women's disappointment stems from men. In this respect, many of our male comrades haven't acted very kindly.
Dominate the world: Yes. Men are so disappointing!
QFCZ: Not everyone is like that; there are people who admire you greatly. For example, the first time I saw you, I thought you were very intelligent, capable, and had an extraordinary demeanor!
Dominate the world: Are you part of this company?
QFCZ: No, I work at a company near you, so I see you often. My colleagues and I bet you must be a senior manager at Tang Dynasty Company, and I even had someone check it out, and it turned out to be true. To celebrate my accurate judgment, each of my colleagues bought a bouquet of flowers and sent them to you every now and then, all using my online name. No other meaning intended, just hoping you'll always be shrewd and capable. Hope this hasn't caused you any bad influence!
Dominating the World: No negative impact, you're quite interesting!
QFCZ: If I worked under you, or if you came to our company to manage our employees, I think the company's efficiency would definitely improve significantly. I know you are in charge of human resources.
Dominating the World: That's true! Tang Dynasty Company's performance has increased several times over since I arrived, and costs have been reduced by at least 20%. You have a sharp eye!
QFCZ: With your abilities, it's no wonder you're disappointed in men. Finding a man stronger than you is almost impossible; the tragedy of a strong woman, haha!
Dominate the world: I have a feeling you're a pretty good person too.
QFCZ: Compared to you, I am ashamed and feel ashamed!
Through these back-and-forth exchanges, Daqi and Li Lanyun established a chat relationship. From then on, whenever he had free time at work, he would chat with her. Of course, he would also chat with Zeng Xiaoli, the beautiful anchorwoman who lived far away in Longhai. Xiaoli said she missed Daqi, and Daqi missed her just as much.
Sometimes after get off work, Daqi would chat with Li Lanyun. Their conversations covered a wide range of topics, from history and culture to anecdotes. Gradually, whenever they were both online, Li Lanyun would chat with Daqi enthusiastically. Sometimes, they would even schedule a time to go online together. In short, after more than a month, Li Lanyun couldn't live without "QFCZ" as a chat partner.
"Take your time, good things should be savored slowly," Daqi said to himself with a touch of pride.
It was Tuesday morning again, and Daqi was browsing the news on his office computer. Suddenly, his notepad beeped with a text message—from Xiao Li, who was far away in Longhai. "I'm in Rongzhou, where exactly are you?"
Good heavens, what is Xiao Li doing in Rongzhou? He quickly dialed her number on his phone.
Daqi: "Sister Xiaoli, where in Rongzhou are you?"
Xiao Li: "I'm at the Provincial Department of Culture, where are you?"
Daqi: "I know where you are. How about this, it's hard to explain over the phone. I'll come to see you after get off work at noon, okay?"
Xiao Li: "Okay, let's have lunch together. I have some really great news for you, I have to go now. Bye!"
It's been over half a year since we last saw Xiao Li, and the Spring Festival has just ended. Da Qi spent the Spring Festival in Changqing with his mother. Both his wives went home for the Spring Festival before returning to Rongzhou; it's another new year. I'm so happy to see Xiao Li at the very beginning of the new year!
After easily completing the task assigned to him by Director Jiang, Daqi asked Director Jiang for leave, saying he needed to go to the Provincial Department of Culture for some business. Director Jiang said in a low voice, "Go ahead. If the HR manager checks up on you, I'll say you went to the Provincial Department of Culture to pick up some blueprints." Daqi happily said, "Thank you, Director Jiang! You're such a kind person!" Director Jiang smiled and said nothing more.
Director Jiang of the design department, Jiang Chengfeng, is a very nice person. He admires Daqi's design ideas. He believes that this young man often breaks with convention in interior design, forming his own unique style, which is quite ingenious. Daqi also has a good impression of him. Director Jiang is not a talkative person and is busy with design drawings all day long. In the entire company, he is one of the most dedicated and hardworking people.
Daqi took a taxi to the Provincial Department of Culture and dialed Xiaoli's cell phone. Xiaoli immediately came out to greet him. Here she is, she's already out.
Xiao Li is truly stunning and incredibly beautiful! Although it's springtime, the weather is still quite cold. The woman is wearing a gray knit sweater paired with a light blue skirt, and her long legs are encased in black leather high-heeled boots. A long, light purple scarf is draped around her slender neck, flowing naturally from her shoulders to the light blue skirt. The elegant combination of gray and light blue throughout her outfit makes her appear extremely noble and refined. Combined with her beautiful face and stylish, slightly wavy, flowing hair, this woman is enough to captivate any man's attention. If you are a woman who appreciates fashion and beauty, your gaze will also be deeply drawn to Xiao Li's attire!
Daqi laughed and said, "Sister Xiaoli, you're so beautiful!"
Xiao Li: "Little brother, stop with the small talk. Let's go eat first, and chat while we eat. I'm in a really good mood today, and I have so much good news to tell you!"
Xiao Li invited Da Qi to lunch at an Italian restaurant opposite the Provincial Cultural Bureau. Da Qi ordered Italian fried rice and a glass of his favorite iced Coca-Cola. Xiao Li ordered spaghetti and an ice cream. The two chatted as they ate.
Xiao Li: "Little brother, it's great news! It's great news!"
Daqi: "Sister, what's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
Xiao Li: "The program we recorded together has attracted the attention of the province!"
It turns out that Xiao Li, Da Qi, and Master Lai had recorded a program in Binxi for over ten days, which Xiao Li brought back to Longhai and edited into a four-episode interview series, each episode forty minutes long. This series is titled "The Eternal Love of Hakka Culture." After airing on Longhai TV Channel 1 at the end of last year, it generated a huge response and received rave reviews from viewers. This also caught the attention of many prominent figures in the provincial cultural circles. The Provincial Department of Culture decided to broadcast these episodes on Binhai TV. Furthermore, the Binhai Hakka Association and the World Hakka Association also showed great interest in the broadcast of the program. With the promotion of the World Hakka Association, dozens of Hakka counties and cities across the country wanted to purchase the broadcasting rights to the program from Longhai TV. The World Hakka Association is currently working with CCTV to have the program broadcast on CCTV International Channel.
Xiao Li laughed and said, "Little brother, this time I guarantee your hometown Changqing will be in the limelight!" This is a good thing, and Daqi was genuinely happy.
Xiao Li: "The Provincial Department of Culture and the Radio and Television Bureau jointly decided to broadcast our recorded program on the provincial television station. I was sent by the station to discuss this matter with them. Brother, Jiang Qingqing hasn't dared to raise her voice in front of me these past few days. She has no temper at all; I'm truly impressed! I told you long ago, we'll see who's the real deal soon enough. I feel so relieved; I've finally gotten my revenge! Brother, thank you for your help! The reason this film was so successful is because the location selection was excellent, very typical and representative. It's all thanks to you! You are someone who has a deep understanding of your hometown's culture! I admire people like you!"
Xiao Li continued, "I have even better news for you! Old Ma is getting a promotion. Rumor has it that the province has decided to make him the vice governor in charge of economic affairs. That's great news!"
Daqi: "This has nothing to do with me!" Daqi was clearly jealous, as he had never had any goodwill towards Ma Qinglian, the corrupt official.
Xiao Li: "Hey, little brother. Don't be jealous!" She suddenly whispered, "He's a eunuch, why are you being so petty?"
Daqi smiled and shook his head, but he really didn't like Ma Qinglian! Xiaoli felt a sense of accomplishment watching Daqi's jealous and silly look. She smiled mysteriously and said, "Let me tell you, once Lao Ma is promoted to vice governor, I'll have him get me transferred to the provincial TV station. Then we can see each other more often!"
That's really practical and helpful! Daqi finally grinned. He'd always regretted that Xiao Li, his only beloved woman, lived a bit far away; all his other women were in Rongzhou. If she could come to Rongzhou, they could be together more often! —Great news, great news, incredibly great news!
Daqi laughed happily, "Great, great, great! I'm so happy!"
The two then chatted about their recent lives and work. Xiao Li asked Da Qi, "How's your beautiful girlfriend?" Da Qi smiled and said she was doing well.
It's true what they say, "What goes around comes around!" Now Xiao Li was starting to get jealous. She rolled her eyes at Da Qi and asked, "I'm asking you, answer honestly, is she really prettier than me?"
Daqi could only laugh helplessly and say, "You are all the most beautiful women, and in my eyes you are all the same! There is no question of who is more beautiful than whom!"
Xiao Li glared at Da Qi and said, "You womanizer! You really got lucky! No way, I have to meet her sometime. I've never seen a woman prettier than me!"
Daqi didn't know what to say, so he just laughed it off. This woman's jealousy was truly a nightmare for any man!

After lunch, Xiao Li said to Da Qi, "I'm going back to Longhai tomorrow. Shall we go sightseeing this afternoon? Let's go to Rongzhou West Lake!"
Daqi happily agreed to Xiaoli's request. The two then took a taxi to Rongzhou West Lake.
The scenery of West Lake was truly beautiful, and the weather was sunny. Xiao Li held Da Qi's hand as they strolled slowly along the lake. Da Qi was truly grateful to God for being so kind to him; it was amazing that he could date such a beautiful and wonderful woman as Xiao Li.
Suddenly, a little girl selling flowers approached them. In her sweet, childish voice, she said to Daqi, "Big brother, your girlfriend is so pretty! Buy her a bouquet of flowers!" Daqi thought the little girl was quite cute, so he smiled and bought a bouquet of red roses for Xiaoli. Xiaoli happily accepted the flowers, and her face inexplicably flushed red.
Xiao Li, holding a bouquet of flowers, walked quietly side by side with Da Qi along the lake, the two rarely speaking. Because at that moment, silence was far more romantic and atmospheric than words!
Chapter Sixty-Two: The Fox's Rear Court
After strolling around West Lake, the two realized it was already evening. Daqi called "Fairy" Qiwen and told her that he wouldn't be home for dinner that night, and asked her and Ping not to worry about him. He also said that he had some things to take care of with his colleagues and would be home a little late.
