"Big brother, are you going out to discuss cooperation again?"
As soon as Xie Yao saw her older brother, Xie Changfeng, dressed in a suit, she quickly asked, "Can I come along? I want to get away for a while!"
"Don't be silly. I'm going to Huaining County this time to discuss serious business with that county magistrate. It's inconvenient to bring you along."
Xie Changfeng said seriously, "This County Magistrate Qin is no ordinary person. I need to be careful and not displease him!"
It's him again!
Xie Yao was filled with curiosity. She had heard her older brother talk about him many times, constantly emphasizing how powerful County Magistrate Qin was, but she had never actually met him.
"Okay, I'll come with you. I'll wait for you in the car. If you need me to liven things up, just call me, okay?"
Xie Yao's eyes darted around, and she pleaded, "It's really boring at home. Please take me with you. I promise I won't cause any trouble."
This…
Xie Changfeng knew that his younger sister had been very upset lately because of her blind date and had been wanting to go out, but hadn't had the chance.
"Alright then, you can only wait for me in the car, not in the office, okay?"
Xie Changfeng said seriously.
"Okay, no problem, I promise!"
Xie Yao readily agreed. She just wanted to go out and see if she could catch a glimpse of County Magistrate Qin. What if she was lucky enough to see him?
After saying that, the two of them went out together, got into the car, and headed straight for Huaining County.
…
Meanwhile, Tian Weiwei was pestering Zhao Yanan, chatting in the coffee shop downstairs from the Municipal Bureau.
"Please, find out for me what Qin Mu is doing!"
Tian Weiwei pleaded. "I have a feeling he's brewing some big move?"
"No way!"
Zhao Yanan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I asked him last night, and he said he'd take it one step at a time. Besides, this whole thing is that Han guy's fault. Instead of finding out Qin Mu's whereabouts, you should have that Han guy apologize to Qin Mu. What kind of person is he? He's such a show-off! I want to punch him!"
Zhao Yanan was straightforward and spoke her mind. If it weren't for her friendship with Tian Weiwei, and not wanting to appear too violent in front of Qin Mu, she would have punched Han Tianpeng yesterday.
So what if he's a vice chairman? What's with the pretense?
This…
Tian Weiwei was truly in a dilemma. Han Tianpeng was stubbornly refusing to listen, and she couldn't bring herself to approach Qin Mu… She was caught in a bind.
"Yanan, please, for the sake of our years of sisterhood, help me find out!"
Tian Weiwei linked her arm with Zhao Yanan's and said, "I was the one who gave you the advice when you were pursuing Qin Mu, you can't just abandon me now!"
Well…
Here it was, Zhao Yanan couldn't refuse, because what the other woman said was true!
Tian Weiwei had genuinely offered advice and helped her a lot back then.
"Okay, okay, I'll ask around for you right away."
Zhao Yanan had no choice but to take out her phone and send a message to Qin Mu, subtly inquiring about the situation.
Unbeknownst to her, this message was exactly what Qin Mu wanted to see, because he was currently thinking about how to tell her the latest developments!
"Ding-dong…"
Zhao Yanan had just sent the message when Qin Mu's message arrived.
"Got it!"
Zhao Yanan glanced at it, then handed it directly to Tian Weiwei, saying, "That's great! Qin Mu already has a new company to discuss cooperation with!"
"Jiangzhou Xie's Real Estate Company!"
Tian Weiwei read the company name aloud, then subconsciously said, "How did Qin Mu get to know them? This real estate company is very powerful; it's one of the top local real estate companies in Jiangzhou!"
As a businesswoman, Tian Weiwei naturally had some understanding of local companies in Jiangzhou. Just by looking at the name, she could tell their general strength.
"Do they have the capability to take over your two projects?"
Zhao Yanan asked casually.
"Yes!"
Tian Weiwei smiled helplessly and nodded, saying, "The real estate industry is currently in a downturn, and many companies are transforming. If Xie's Real Estate has the guts, it's not impossible for them to transform into manufacturing and specialty agriculture!"
"That's good, it means Qin Mu has already come up with a plan."
Zhao Yanan breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "I thought he really had no choice. Now that a company is taking over, I can rest assured."
This…
Tian Weiwei's eyes were filled with speechlessness. She couldn't help but remind her, "Yanan, aren't we still best friends? Can't you think about me? Now that your relationship with Qin Mu is bad, our Tianke Group will have no chance in the future!"
"You've already been dismissed, what's there to say?"
Zhao Yanan rolled her eyes and said, "You might as well just resign and stay in Huaining. Anyway, it won't affect your personal relationship with Qin Mu. The two of us and him… hehe… wouldn't that bring us a happy life?"
This…
Tian Weiwei was instantly speechless.
Of course, given her status, she could easily live a comfortable life without working; after all, being the eldest daughter of the Tian family was enough for her to live a happy and fulfilling life. But Tian Weiwei couldn't do that. She was a woman with ambition and couldn't give up her career.
Furthermore, she firmly believed that to permanently attract a man as outstanding as Qin Mu, she needed her own career—her unique selling point.
Being just a housewife wouldn't be enough to attract a man like Qin Mu.
"No, I have to salvage my partnership with Qin Mu."
Tian Weiwei shook her head, stood up, and walked out. She was going to find Han Tianpeng, that idiot, still confidently waiting for Qin Mu to apologize—a complete fool!
"Impossible!"
"How could Qin Mu possibly be looking for another company?"
When Han Tianpeng learned that Qin Mu was going to cooperate with Xie's Real Estate, he was completely incredulous. "An investment of tens of millions? In a place like Jiangzhou, is there any company that can afford that?"
"Jiangzhou Xie's Real Estate Company, you can check it out."
Tian Weiwei rolled her eyes and said irritably, "If Tianke Group's investment in Huaining County fails completely this time, you can just wait to die!"
"I don't care, but my dad won't let you off the hook!"
This…
Han Tianpeng hesitated. From his intuition, it seemed unlikely that Qin Mu would find a company willing to invest in him in the short term, but Tian Weiwei spoke with such certainty that he had to take it seriously.
"Do you have any evidence that Qin Mu is in contact with Xie's Real Estate Company?"
Han Tianpeng countered.
"If you don't believe me, let's go to the Huaining County government together and see for ourselves."
Tian Weiwei said directly, "If it's true, what will you do? Apologize to Qin Mu, or continue to stubbornly hold your ground?"
"Of course, even if you apologize, it might not be effective. Do you think Qin Mu is so easily fooled?"
This…
Han Tianpeng was momentarily flustered; reality seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined.
"Let's go, let's go to Huaining County and see!"
Han Tianpeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "I want to see if this Qin Mu is just bluffing!"
