Jia Ran: "What's wrong? Why aren't you with me?"
Daqi nodded, hugged her, and kissed her, saying, "Yes, I have it for you and other women, but not for Xiaoman."
Jia Ran: "You're overthinking it. Don't worry about what I think. I'm the most open-minded woman. I've said before that as long as you two love each other, just treat her well."
Daqi: "I didn't say it to Xiaoman's face because I was afraid of hurting her. Sister, I have no evil thoughts towards her, I just like her. And this feeling is getting stronger and stronger."
Jia Ran: "Then just treat her like a younger sister for now. Decide whether you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend when you both feel like it!" Da Qi nodded and kissed Jia Ran, and then the two made love. I won't go into further detail here.
The next morning, after breakfast, Daqi said goodbye to Jiaran and drove to the company. With nothing to do, he sat alone in the office, summarizing the company's performance over the past year. Overall, the results were quite good; he had both money and the company.
Just then, the office phone rang; it was Cheng Renji calling.
Daqi: "President Cheng, is something the matter?"
Cheng Renji: "My own villa project is now complete, so it's time for us to talk about the development plan for these 100 villas."
Daqi: "Okay, Mr. Cheng, whenever you'd like to talk, just say so."
Cheng Renji: "How about we hold a meeting at a hotel in three days? I will bring my assistant and relevant personnel, and we will discuss it."
Daqi said, "Okay, let's do it in three days. We'll hold the meeting at a hotel in the city, in a small conference room."
Sung In-ki: "Okay, okay! That's all, goodbye!"
Daqi: "Goodbye!"
As soon as he hung up the phone, Daqi immediately dialed Qiwen's cell phone. She, Muping, and Xiaoli were all at the clothing store. Daqi said, "Wen'er, have you hired a lawyer for me? Cheng Renji wants to meet with me in three days to discuss the villa development plan."
Qiwen: "That's great, honey. Don't worry, Uncle Ding has already hired the best lawyer in Rongzhou for me, and the lawyer is even asking for a low fee because of Uncle Ding's influence. He said if you and Cheng Renji reach an agreement, he'll only charge 5,000 yuan; if you don't succeed, he'll just give a token gesture."
Daqi: "5000 yuan? That's so low?"
Qiwen: "Uncle Ding has a lot of influence!" Daqi smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes. Okay, then give me the lawyer's contact information, and I'll have my secretary invite him."
Qiwen: "Okay!" Qiwen then gave Daqi's contact information and other details over the phone. After they hung up, Daqi asked Pingjia to contact the lawyer. He then had a detailed discussion with Yulou in his office about cooperating with Cheng Renji. Daqi said, "Yulou, you're truly a female strategist! You know Cheng's tricks. You can even guess his personality and behavior." Yulou smiled and said, "Having followed him for so many years, how could I not know him well?"
Yu Lou then asked Da Qi, "Besides your lawyer, who else did you bring along for the negotiations?"
Daqi: "Pingjia, she's my secretary. It's inconvenient for you, but you would have been a more suitable candidate."
Yu Lou: "Pingjia is fine too. The main thing is that you talk to him and the lawyer reviews and checks the contract to make sure there are no clauses that are unfavorable to you. There's nothing else to worry about."
Daqi nodded and said, "After all, it's about cooperation. What's the point of cooperation if neither side is sincere?"
Three days later, Daqi, Pingjia, and their lawyer, along with Cheng Renji, his secretary, and his lawyer, met in a private room at the West Lake Hotel in the city center. They discussed their cooperation over tea.
Cheng Renji said that his Wan'an Group planned to develop 150 villas along the Rongjiang River, with an estimated investment of 1 million RMB in decoration for each villa. They requested that Daqi's company design and be responsible for the decoration and construction. Daqi readily agreed to cooperate with Cheng Renji. Both parties signed a cooperation agreement under the review of their lawyers. Daqi was very happy because he was certain that he could net more than 40 million RMB from this large project.
After both parties signed the contract, Cheng Renji specially hosted a banquet at the West Lake Hotel to celebrate the signing of the written contract. All the personnel involved in the negotiations, including the lawyers, enjoyed the banquet immensely. To thank the lawyer for his help, Daqi had Pingjia give him a large red envelope containing 10,000 yuan, which naturally pleased the lawyer greatly. He told Daqi, "If you encounter any legal or litigation issues in the future, feel free to contact me!" Daqi expressed his deepest gratitude.
After the banquet, Daqi went directly to the clothing store to tell Qiwen about the contract signing and that he had signed a particularly large contract with President Cheng. Qiwen was overjoyed, and Xiaoli and Muping also hugged the man happily. Lijie was the same; she stayed at the clothing store with the three women, since she had nothing else to do anyway.
Mu Ping: "Honey, you're amazing. Our family will become very wealthy."
Daqi: "My concubines, I have so many wives, how can I support you all if I don't have enough money?"
Mu Ping: "Okay, okay, okay. I think this clothing store will have to close down soon."
Xiao Li: "Are you really planning to 'retire' after finishing this project?"
Daqi: "Second wife, husband, when have I ever lied to you?"
Qiwen: "But your career will continue to rise. I'd really be reluctant to see you leave the business world."
Daqi: "Don't worry, I guarantee everyone will have enough to live on for the rest of their lives. We'll just buy a few shops and collect the rent. I won't achieve much in my life. As far as business is concerned, I wouldn't be happy to be Li Ka-shing. Hehe, enough money is enough. I'm just not cut out to be a businessman. I've always found myself disgusted by being a businessman."
Qiwen: "Whatever you want, whatever you want."
Lijie exclaimed, "Honey, you're amazing!" After spending some time together, Lijie had openly called Daqi "husband," and no one objected. Qiwen was especially happy because Lijie and Daqi were together.
Daqi said to Lijie, "You shouldn't be a flight attendant anymore. It would be so much better if you stayed home and kept me company."
Lijie: "Okay, seeing how successful you are, I don't even earn one percent of what you do as a flight attendant, so I might as well quit!" Daqi happily hugged Lijie and said, "That's right! Write a resignation letter and don't go back to the airline. Just stay with me!" Lijie gave the man a light kiss, and Qiwen happily hugged Lijie back. Qiwen said, "Sister, I'm so happy. Don't worry, you can play around for a while first, and we'll talk about what kind of job you want later."
Lijie: "I've made up my mind. I'll learn fashion design from you too. It'll just be a pastime."
Qiwen: "Don't worry, I'll teach you. Look at Ping'er and Li'er, I taught them both." Mu Ping and Xiao Li smiled slightly and nodded at Li Jie.
Da Qicai didn't care what his women did for a living. He knew he could easily support them. None of them excessively pursued a luxurious lifestyle; his earnings were more than enough for them. Da Qi was exceptionally happy today, and hosted a four-table banquet at Jia Ran's place that evening. His entire family, his company staff, Ye Huan, Zheng Jie, Ma'er, and Pan Qiong all attended. Jia Ran was also very happy because of Da Qi's successful negotiations with Cheng Renji.
At the banquet, Daqi toasted everyone and said, "Thank you for your support. Without everyone's joint efforts, this project would not have been possible!..." After the banquet, Daqi and his family returned to their residence, which will not be described in detail here.
After returning home, Daqi and Muping went to sleep together. Muping asked Daqi, "Honey, when do you have time to take us all out for a trip? I want to go on a vacation!"
Daqi: "I happen to have some free time now, because Cheng Renji's big project won't start for another month. How about this, I'll discuss with everyone tomorrow where my family and some company staff should go on vacation. There's not much going on at the company this month, so we can give the employees a month off."
Chapter 212 Tour Leader
At Mu Ping's suggestion, Da Qi decided to take his wives on a trip. These days, Chinese people take advantage of "Golden Week" holidays for tourism, so why not take his women out for a spin? After having this idea, he decided to discuss it with his wives.
Daqi thought to himself: He should bring along his six wives—Qiwen, Xiaoli, Muping, Meiting, Yijing, and Lijie—as well as Ma'er, Yehuan, Zhengjie, Yulou, Suqin, and Pingjia from the Southeast Gate neighborhood, his two older sisters Qianru and Chunxiao, and Jiaran and her daughter—a total of sixteen women. He would also bring his mother; otherwise, he wouldn't feel comfortable leaving her alone at home! This was Daqi's initial decision. He wanted all his women to travel and enjoy themselves together, fostering a sense of community—after all, they were family!
The next morning, Daqi came to the company and called Yulou, Suqin, and Pingjia into his office to discuss the trip. The three women were very happy because the construction work was finished, and the large project of Wan'an Group, which was cooperating with Cheng Renji, had not started so soon, so they had plenty of time.
Yu Lou: "Husband, we need to find a travel agency. Can you give me a list and I'll contact them?"
Suqin: "Daqi, where should we go for fun?"
Daqi: "Beijing, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and I also want to visit Fenghuang, which is your hometown."
Suqin: "Great, great, I'm so happy."
Pingjia: "It's so nice to be able to go out and travel. I'm getting a little tired of staying in Rongzhou for so long."
Daqi: "These next few days, I'll finalize the list of people for the trip. Yulou, go and get a notice: the three of you from the company are coming with me on this trip, and the rest of you..."

Section Reading 177
Let them take a month off. Tell them not to worry, they'll still get their wages, and they'll be back to work on time next month.
Yu Lou: "Okay, I'll take care of it!"
After discussing it with the three women from the company, Daqi drove to Fairy's shop. He also discussed the trip with his four wives. Everyone agreed, and Meiting and Yijing were sure they would have time. The question was now whether to see Qianru, Chunxiao, Ma'er, Ye Huan, Zheng Jie, and Jia Ran and her daughter. With nothing else to do, Daqi drove his BMW back to Tang Dynasty Company to find Ma'er. He went directly to Ma'er's office—his former "riding ground"—and found Ma'er there.
Today, Ma'er was dressed in a skirt suit, high heels, and a gold necklace, looking incredibly sexy and beautiful. Having not been to this "riding ground" in a long time, Daqi locked the office door as soon as he arrived. He looked at Ma'er with a smile. The woman was overjoyed; she naturally stood up from her office chair and almost ran to the man, embracing him and kissing him. Daqi sat down in her office chair, and Ma'er immediately stood behind him, massaging his neck to relax him. The two chatted intimately.
Horse: "My nemesis, what are you doing here?"
Daqi: "I came to see you, I missed you."
Horse: "Will you miss me? You have so many women now."
Daqi: "No matter how many women there are, none can replace you. You are the obedient horse that I personally trained."
Horse: "But you haven't ridden me in so long."
Daqi: "Here we are! The horse is being naughty!"
Horse: "No, no! I'm still the same obedient horse I always was. I just missed you so much. I heard from Yulou that you signed with Cheng Renji. Congratulations, my love!"
Daqi said, "Horse, sit on my lap and let me hug you!" The horse obediently sat on Daqi's lap, wrapped one arm around the man's neck, and the two kissed passionately. The horse was overjoyed and kissed Daqi very passionately. The two talked as they kissed.
Daqi: "This time we really made a lot of money. You should come to my company from now on and stop working here."
Horse: "I'll do whatever you say. If you're financially capable, I won't be here making small change!"
Daqi: "Be good, be a good girl! Come on, lie on the table, I'm going to start riding you." The horse smiled slightly and said, "You lecherous devil, let me serve you first!" The horse gazed lustfully at the man, licking its lips with its red tongue. Daqi nodded; he understood the horse wanted to please him. Having received the man's permission, the horse obediently stood up from his lap. The horse smiled as it watched the man slowly kneel before it. It first gently stroked the bulge in the man's crotch with its delicate hand, then unbuckled his belt…
The horse gazed at the man with a seductive look, or rather, looked up at him, gently swaying its head. Daqi sat comfortably in his office chair, resting his hands on the back. Daqi smiled and said, "Horse, do you remember what I told you before?" The horse spat out what was in its mouth and said, "You wanted me to be your obedient horse, an obedient horse that only you could ride!" Daqi laughed, "You're so obedient, you still remember what you said before." Although someone knocked on the door at that moment, the two ignored it, and the horse continued to kneel and serve the man. While enjoying his pen, Daqi picked up the quill pen from the pen holder on his desk and said, "You're a good boy, still keeping this." The horse smiled and said, "Without your permission, how could I dare throw it away? I know you like to use this on me. I don't let anyone else touch this pen." Daqi gently brushed the horse's nose and cheek with the quill pen's feathers and said, "I want to use this today." The horse nodded and said, "This is for your exclusive use. Use it if you want."
"Hahaha!" Daqi laughed loudly, feeling that the horse in front of him was really obedient and listened to him. Oh, horse, it wasn't for nothing that I trained you.
Next, Daqi naturally stripped the horse naked, and himself as well. In a luxurious, modern office, a man and woman were enacting an extremely erotic scene. Daqi moved all the items on the desk to a corner, letting the horse lie flat on the table. He began to "wander" over her entire body with that goose feather…
Daqi loved riding Lanyun, his "mare," and he always felt that horses were among his favorite women to ride. Each time he made love to her, he felt like a great knight. Daqi would ride her on his desk, on the carpet, or with her facing the floor-to-ceiling window—the curtains drawn, of course. But they could still enjoy the city view. This transcendent enjoyment of riding her while admiring the cityscape filled Daqi with boundless pride and a sense of accomplishment.
The horse, its hand resting on the windowsill, arched its back and said sweetly to its lover behind it, "Brother...so...so comfortable...again..."
Finally, after satisfying himself in Ma'er's bright red lips, Daqi embraced her and kissed her. Ma'er said coquettishly, "Honey, carry me to the sofa." So the two of them chatted on the sofa, naturally both naked. Daqi said, "Ma'er, come with me on a trip in a while. I want to take all of you wives on a tour of beautiful women to other cities in China. Of course, I'll be the tour leader, and naturally, I'll be your commander-in-chief."
Ma'er laughed, "Then Qiwen is the deputy commander-in-chief, right?" Daqi nodded and said, "She's the first wife, so naturally she's the deputy commander-in-chief. You're not jealous, are you?" Ma'er laughed, "You have over a dozen women already, why would we be jealous? But you're really amazing, you've got over a dozen women, including me, completely under your thumb. For that, I really admire you. I know Yulou loves you too, and Huan'er, Jie'er, Qin'er, and Jia'er all treat you like an emperor." Daqi said, "Then am I your emperor?" Ma'er said, "Of course, but I'd rather be your mount." Daqi laughed, "That's right, you're the only one who..." "I feel like I'm riding a horse; no one else feels this way." The horse asked curiously, "Why?" Daqi laughed, "Initially, I decided to conquer you to help Suqin get revenge. Later, after conquering you, I realized you'd actually be quite suitable as a wife. From now on, actually, from the beginning, I've always considered you my wife!" The horse said, "The form of address doesn't matter. I know you're a bit lecherous, but you're also quite loyal. You can see that from how you treat Huan'er. So, I'm willing to be your little mare without any regrets. Husband, you'll ride me for the rest of your life." Daqi laughed, "Don't worry, don't worry. Who else would I ride?"
The two discussed their trip while getting dressed. Daqi said to her, "Let's have lunch together today. It's been so long since we ate alone together." Ma'er smiled and said, "Okay, honey." After getting dressed, Daqi looked at Lanyun's round and pretty buttocks and found them quite adorable, so he patted them and said, "What a beautiful horse butt!" Ma'er laughed and said, "If it's beautiful, come and see it more often!" Daqi laughed and said, "Next time I'll bring a whip to give it a good thrashing." Ma'er said confidently, "You only know how to pamper women, would you actually hit a woman?" Daqi nodded and said, "You know me best. I actually wouldn't hit a woman. You're all so beautiful and gentle, I'm your emperor, of course I'd love you all well. Don't worry, I was just kidding. I hate hitting women the most. Especially a horse butt as beautiful as yours, I would never hit it!" Ma'er smiled happily and kissed Daqi.
After his romantic encounter with Ma'er, Daqi went to visit Chen Li, a former colleague from the design department. Chen Li said, "Brother Qi, you're living the high life now. You have a company and a woman. I'm so envious! By the way, how's Suqin doing with you?" Daqi didn't dare tell him that Suqin had been his woman "a century ago," and he had long since trained her to be incredibly obedient. Daqi said, "She's my company's accountant!" Chen Li asked, "Does she have a boyfriend?" Daqi laughed, "I'm not sure. You're still thinking about her, aren't you?" Chen Li laughed, "No, I already have a girlfriend. I used to pursue her, I was just asking." Daqi went along with it, saying, "It's good that you have a girlfriend. Cherish your current woman." The two chatted for a while, then Daqi went back to find Lanyun. He and Lanyun had lunch together at a Sichuan restaurant. Daqi kept putting food on Lanyun's plate, and Lanyun was overjoyed because it had been a long time since she had eaten with a man.
Daqi: "Why don't you just quit your job here too? I'll support you."
Lan Yun: "I'll do whatever you say!"
Daqi nodded after hearing this, knowing that his horse would definitely listen to him in everything. He knew that it was inevitable to gather all the women together to live, and that included the horse, of course.
Daqi: "I brought all my women together this time to improve our relationships."
Lan Yun: "Great idea, honey. We're all family, it's time to do some team building."
Daqi: "We need to work on building a stronger bond within our family, so that we don't all become strangers."
Lan Yun: "You rascal, have you ever thought that you're too lecherous? You've got more than a dozen women all of a sudden?"
Daqi: "As long as you're not jealous. I'd like to have two more!"
Lan Yun: "You want more? Can you handle it?"
Daqi: "I don't want a proper woman or wife anymore. I want to buy two female slaves instead!"
Lan Yun: "Female slave? Japanese?"
Daqi: "Genius, how did you know?"
Lan Yun: "Many rich people go to Japan to buy them. I heard that Cheng Renji has two female slaves serving him. And they are very beautiful."
Daqi: "I also want to buy two to serve as personal maids. My little maid Yijing should just be my wife."
Lan Yun: "You lecherous devil, you're hopeless!"
Daqi: "To die surrounded by women in this life would be a blessing!"
