Daqi: "Your presence is an honor to my humble abode!"
Pan Qiong: "Let me introduce you. This is our company's general manager, Tong Daqi. And you, little brother, this is Chairman and General Manager Cheng of Wan'an Real Estate Group."
Daqi: "President Cheng, hello! Please come in, please come in!" The three of them sat down on the sofa next to the coffee table in the office, led by Tong Daqi.
At this moment, Daqi's mistress, Pingjia, brought over three cups of hot Tieguanyin tea.
Daqi: "Have some tea, have some tea!" He hurriedly invited President Cheng to have some tea. But to his surprise, the man kept staring at Pingjia.
He replied casually, "Thank you, thank you!" But his gaze remained fixed on Pingjia.
After serving tea to the three of them, Pingjia stood in front of Daqi and said, "President Tong, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first. Please call me anytime if you need anything."
Daqi: "Thank you, Secretary Xu! You can go out now, I'll call you if I need anything." Pingjia then left the office.
It wasn't until Pingjia left the office that the short, stout General Manager Cheng came to his senses. He laughed and said, "Sorry, sorry! Have some tea, have some tea!"
"Oh, what a lecherous boss!" Da Qi thought to himself. "I'm afraid you don't have any hobbies. Having hobbies makes things easier, and having hobbies makes business easier! This principle applies to both business and politics!"
Daqi: "President Cheng, it's a great honor for the CEO of such a large company to travel all this way to visit me!"
Wan'an Real Estate Group is one of the three major real estate development groups in Rongzhou, and it's practically a household name in the city. The group's CEO is Cheng Renji, who is sitting right in front of Daqi. However, Tong Daqi only knows his name; this is the first time he's interacted with him.
Cheng Renji: "Come and have a look around. You're Tong Daqi? The former Tong Daqi of Tang Dynasty Group?"
Daqi: "Please excuse my poor performance, it's effective!"
Cheng Renji: "I've long heard that Mr. Tong is young and promising, and seeing him today, I can confirm it's true. May I take a look at your work?"
Daqi: "You flatter me! You can call me Xiaotong. When would you like to visit?"
Sung In-ki: "Now, is it convenient?"
Daqi: "No problem, I'll take you there right away."
After speaking, Daqi and his two companions entered the company's conference room. The walls were covered with Daqi's design works. Upon entering, they were greeted by a large, lifelike replica of the award-winning plaque. This plaque was a 30-fold enlargement of the one Daqi won, and it hung prominently in the conference room. It bore a striking line of red text: "First Prize Winner of the Inaugural 'Banyan Tree Cup' Interior Designer Competition – Tong Daqi." Below the plaque was a trophy, the actual award-winning trophy. The trophy also had the same line of red text as the plaque.
Daqi led Cheng Renji through each design piece, with Pan Qiong accompanying them. Because she knew absolutely nothing about design. Cheng Renji nodded repeatedly as he looked at each piece…
Back in Daqi's office, the three of them sat down again on the sofa next to the coffee table.
Cheng Renji: "Okay, I'm a decisive person! I have confidence in you, Xiaotong. I'm prepared to invest 2.5 million in renovating my villa in the suburbs."
Daqi: "President Cheng, didn't you say you wanted to renovate the company's storefront?"
Pan Qiong: "Yeah, how did it turn into a villa? And why did they invest an extra 500,000?"
Cheng Renji: "You may not know this, but I don't make all the decisions in the company. Although I am the CEO, many things still need to be approved by the shareholders' meeting. Our group has its own designers and also has a subsidiary decoration company. The shareholders, considering the cost, certainly won't let another company decorate the company's storefront and office environment. I discussed this with the general manager yesterday, and that's what he told me. I thought it made sense, so I decided that your company will not be responsible for decorating the company's storefront."
Pan Qiong: "This..."
Cheng Renji: "Don't worry, Ms. Pan. I promised to cooperate with your company, and I definitely will. I'm a man of my word. Company matters need to be approved by the shareholders' meeting, but I can always make my own decisions about my own family affairs. I just built a villa in the south of the city, and I've decided to invest 2.5 million or even more in its interior decoration. This..."

Section Reading 87
How about you guys do the project?
Pan Qiong looked at Da Qi, who smiled and said, "Okay, no problem at all. Thank you, President Cheng, for supporting our company's business!"
Sung In-ki: "Okay, it's settled then!"
Daqi: "Shall we sign the contract then?"
Sung In-ki: "What kind of 'same' thing is this? I hate that stuff!"
Daqi and Panqiong were both stunned. What was going on? A 2.5 million yuan project without a contract? No way! Unbelievable.
Cheng Renji laughed heartily: "Young man, don't be surprised. I won't treat you badly. I trust you, and I trust Miss Pan! Here's what we'll do: I'll give you whatever amount you want, and you can renovate for me. Don't worry, this afternoon I'll have my secretary transfer 2.5 million to your company account. It's just 2.5 million, I'm not going to sign any damn contracts, they're too much trouble! My secretary will contact you this afternoon."
No wonder he's the CEO of a major real estate group, impressive! Tong Daqi couldn't help but marvel at this man's immense wealth; it seems 2.5 million is like 250 yuan to him! The rich in China are truly wealthy!
Chapter 107 Red Little Lips
Daqi: "President Cheng is indeed extraordinary, and I, as a junior, deeply admire him. Rest assured, as long as you trust me, Xiaotong, I will definitely do my best to renovate your villa."
Pan Qiong: "President Cheng, thank you so much!"
Mr. Cheng: "No need to thank me, as long as you guarantee the quality of the renovation, it doesn't matter if it costs a little more money."
Daqi: "No problem, no problem. Please rest assured, Mr. Cheng. I will personally oversee the construction of your villa. If there are any quality problems, I will not ask you for a single penny."
On this point, Daqi was absolutely confident. After all, a 2.5 million yuan project couldn't be taken lightly. More importantly, the man hoped to use this golden opportunity to network with a big boss like Cheng Renji. In business, the long-term potential is crucial. If he did a good job on the first project, there would be no shortage of future opportunities. Who was Cheng Renji? He was practically the top real estate developer in Rongzhou. If he renovated Cheng Renji's villa, Cheng Renji would definitely trust his abilities, and perhaps there would be even bigger opportunities for cooperation in the future. As the saying goes, "The first battle is crucial." This renovation project for Cheng Renji was his "first battle" as a boss. If he won this battle, not only would his company earn a guaranteed 600,000 to 800,000 yuan, but the future business opportunities would be limitless.
Tong Daqi was quite adept at self-promotion. He was already planning that once the project was successfully completed, he would definitely promote himself to the public, claiming that he, Tong, had renovated the villa of Cheng Renji, the chairman of Wan'an Group. By leveraging the name of Cheng Renji—a golden brand—he believed the future business opportunities would be limitless.
Daqi: "Mr. Cheng, please ask your secretary to send me a copy of the blueprints for your villa as soon as possible after transferring the money to my company's account. I need to start the preliminary design. Also, if it's convenient, could you please take me to see your villa when you have time? I'd like to see what your villa looks like in person. That way, I'll have a better understanding of what to design. Once the design is complete, construction will be much easier."
Cheng Renji: "You're a very capable young man. I like your style. From now on, stop calling me 'General Manager Cheng' and just call me Uncle Cheng. I could be your father by now."
Daqi: "Thank you, Uncle Cheng! I will do my best to design and decorate your villa!"
Cheng Renji: "Okay, that's all for today. I have to go now, I'm busy with work at the company, so I'll take my leave."
Daqi: "Uncle Cheng, please have lunch before you leave. It's a pleasure to have you visit my small company. Please do have lunch before you go!"
Pan Qiong: "Yes, President Cheng, let's have dinner before you leave!"
Cheng Renji: "No, no. I have to have lunch with a deputy mayor, so I won't bother you during lunch. Let's stick to our original plan and have dinner together, and then I'll go to your nightclub. It's settled then."
Pan Qiong: "No problem, no problem. I've already made a reservation for dinner. We'll have it at 7 p.m. in a private room at the West Lake Hotel. After dinner, Mr. Cheng can come over to my place."
Cheng Renji: "Okay, okay, okay. I'll head back now. My driver is waiting downstairs."
Daqi and Panqiong then escorted Cheng Renji to his company building, until he got into his own car. It turned out that Panqiong had hitched a ride with him. Cheng Renji's car was a silver Mercedes-Benz CLK320.
Pan Qiong said she had something to do and told Daqi to be on time for dinner and not to be late. The man replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Sister Pan!" Pan Qiong nodded and got into a taxi and left.
Back at the company, the man was in an exceptionally good mood. He never expected the project, originally estimated at only 2 million, to have grown to 2.5 million. Furthermore, Daqi deduced that Cheng Renji was quite generous, befitting a big boss. He had initially worried that Cheng Renji might be difficult to get along with, but now those concerns were gone. One thing the man was certain of: Cheng Renji was definitely a womanizer. Great, they were kindred spirits! Having a shared hobby would facilitate future collaborations! —A good thing!
Back at the company, Daqi happily called his wives to tell them about Cheng Renji's request for his company to renovate his villa. Xianzi was overjoyed, insisting that her husband take the whole family out for a nice meal, while his mistress, Muping, said she wanted him to buy them some new clothes. Daqi said that as long as the project payment arrived in the company account that afternoon, he would grant all their requests. He also told Xianzi that he wouldn't be home for dinner. Xianzi reminded him to drink less alcohol and take care of his health. The man assured her he would, filled with gratitude.
At lunchtime, Daqi ate in the office with his mistress, Pingjia, while Suqin went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Pingjia ordered two takeout meals for both of them. During lunch, Daqi briefly discussed the villa renovation with her. This girl was so happy that she wanted to sit on Daqi's lap to eat, saying she wanted to treat him. She fed him spoonful by spoonful, saying things like, "Master, please eat well" or "Master, please eat slowly." It was truly comforting to have such a considerate mistress by his side.
While eating, Daqi gently stroked the woman's firm breasts and fleshy buttocks through her clothes. The two chatted as they ate.
Pingjia: "Grandpa, I told you long ago that our company would definitely grow big and have a bright future. Doesn't this prove what I said?"
Daqi: "You little slut, you've got it right this time."
Pingjia: "What? I saw the company's future a long time ago. Otherwise, I wouldn't be with you!"
After they had eaten enough, Pingjia took out a tissue and wiped the man's mouth.
Daqi: "So you're this materialistic! You little slut, let me ask you something: if I ever fall on hard times, will you still be with me?"
"Little Honey" kissed the man and said, "Well... after all, I have to live. Anyway, as long as you don't fall on hard times, I'll definitely follow you wholeheartedly. If you do fall on hard times, it's really hard to say. But I believe you won't fall on hard times. At worst, you can be a designer. Even if you're not a boss, you'll still be successful."
Daqi grabbed her breasts hard, and she screamed in response. The man laughed, "If I fall on hard times, I doubt you, you little slut, will stay with me."
Pingjia laughed and said, "Master, I'm not a heartless person. As long as you truly treat me well, I'll know it. If one day you really become an ordinary person, perhaps I'll still stay with you!"
The man gently caressed the beautiful college graduate's pretty face and red lips. He slipped his index finger into her lips, and she immediately and obediently began to suck on it with her small mouth. The man felt the warmth of the beautiful and alluring woman's mouth with his index finger. She smiled seductively and gently held his finger in her mouth, slowly swallowing and releasing it. This playful act of having a beautiful woman use her red lips to caress his finger also gave the man immense pleasure. Her moist tongue also skillfully intertwined with his finger inside her mouth; the man found her little tongue playful and adorable, and her red lips soft and sexy.
Daqi: "You little slut, if I really became an ordinary person, would you still be so lewd towards me?"
The woman spat out her finger and gently poked the man's nose with her own, smiling seductively, "You lecherous boss, I think what you're after is your slutness. Actually, I'm only so slutty because I have some feelings for you. If it were anyone else, I'd rather die than do that. If you really fall on hard times and become an ordinary person, and this slut decides to be with you, then you can rest assured, I'll still be as slutty as ever!"
The man chuckled and whispered in her ear, "I love your flirtatious side! If you stop being flirtatious, I won't want you with me."
Pingjia laughed and said, "You're so mean, sir. I've humbled myself to be with you, and you're still being picky, wanting this and that from me."
Daqi: "Of course, if you want to be with me, you have to be this sexy, the sexier the better, the sexier the better!"
Pingjia: "I know what you're like, Master. Alright, alright, whatever you want this slut to be, this slut will be. Is that enough? Then let me ask you, Master, isn't Qiwen even sluttier than this slut?"
Daqi patted the woman's shapely buttocks with a little force and said, "She's much more proper than you. She's not slutty."
Pingjia started to whine, "This isn't fair, it's not fair! She's a respectable man, yet he loves her so much, while a slut like me is unwanted by a respectable man. What kind of world is this?"
Daqi: "Is there anything truly fair in this world? I only want you because you're so slutty. Who told you to be my beloved little whore?"
Pingjia rolled her eyes at the man and said, "I think the master's true love is your Qiwen, why would he love a harlot?"
Daqi kissed her fragrant lips and said, "How can you talk like that, you little slut? As long as you keep being this seductive in front of me, I'll always have you in my heart!"
Pingjia looked at the man and brought her sandalwood-scented lips close to his ear, saying sweetly, "Master, shall I, this slut, give you a little naughtiness now?"
Daqi laughed and said, "How exactly do you want to be provocative?"
The woman smiled alluringly, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth. She gently stroked the man's impressive physique through his trousers. She glanced at it seductively, then pouted her red lips and looked at him sideways, saying, "How about this slut gives me a taste?"
I'm so happy! This girl is truly a perfect, devoted and caring "mistress"—beautiful, witty, and considerate! It seems I've really found the right one!
However, Daqi shook his head and laughed, "I'll let you off today, but next time I'll make sure you're so thirsty you'll be begging for mercy. Tonight I have to entertain that President Cheng, so I need to conserve my energy."
Pingjia laughed and said, "As long as it makes you happy, I'll do anything, even if it makes this slut's mouth dry, or even if it makes her gums fall out, she'll still enjoy it!"
The man chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, I'm a little tired. I have a business dinner tonight, so I'll go take a nap on the sofa. There are three sofas here, go lock the door and lie down to sleep too."
Pingjia said, "Thank you, sir, for your kind touch. I am indeed a little sleepy." Just as the two were about to lie down on the sofa for an afternoon nap, the office door opened. The man said, "Come in!" It was Suqin returning from running errands, her face flushed and slightly sweaty. Probably because of the heat.
Daqi instructed his mistress, Pingjia, "Jia'er, quickly go and pour Lian, the accountant, a glass of water!" She replied, "Okay," and went out. The man felt sorry for Suqin and told her to sit down on the sofa quickly. He used a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Fortunately, the office wasn't hot, and the air conditioning was on.
Daqi: "Qin'er, thank you for your hard work. Have you eaten yet?"
Suqin smiled and nodded gratefully, saying, "I've eaten. What about you?"
The man nodded and said, "I've eaten. Has everything been taken care of?"
Suqin: "It's alright, everything's taken care of."
The man then briefly told her about Cheng Renji's visit. Suqin happily nestled into his arms and smiled, "Honey, you're amazing!" Just then, Pingjia brought in a glass of water. Suqin immediately tried to break free from the man; she probably didn't want Pingjia to know about her relationship with Daqi. But Daqi held her tightly, saying, "Qin'er, don't move. Just lean against me and drink. Jia'er, bring the water to your sister Qin'er." Suqin didn't dare move, but she still looked at Daqi and then Pingjia with surprise.
"Yes, sir!" She walked closer to the man and handed the water to Suqin, saying softly, "Sister Qin'er, you've worked hard. Have a glass of water to quench your thirst!" Suqin looked at the man and Pingjia in surprise, but still took the water from Pingjia's hand.
The man gestured for Pingjia to sit down on his left, since Suqin was sitting on his right. Pingjia naturally sat down on the man's left and rested her head on his shoulder.
It seems Pingjia can accept that Suqin is a man's woman quite naturally, while Suqin is a bit reserved. After all, Suqin is a respectable woman, while Pingjia is naturally promiscuous and a wanton woman. Suqin can't really be blamed for this!
