Do I have to keep my promise?

Seeing Tianlong come in, Ji Qingyan rose to shake hands. "Manager Wang, hello. I'm Ji Qingyan from Chaoyang Group. We've spoken on the phone before." "President Ji, hello. I apologize for not greeting you from afar. Please don't take offense." Tianlong was very courteous, revealing nothing about his relationship with Lin Yi. Because just now, he had received a reminder from Lin Yi to fully cooperate with any demands Ji Qingyan might make. He had to show enthusiasm. He absolutely couldn't delay the boss's romance. Tianlong's behavior made Ji Qingyan wonder in her heart. Previously on the phone, while Tianlong was also polite, there was always a sense of distance maintained, with speech and tone that were very official. But this time was different; he was very enthusiastic, even carrying a hint of respect. "Manager Wang, hello. I've come mainly to talk about the venue. Our company wants to hold a press conference and is looking at the Peninsula Hotel's auditorium to see if there is any availability soon." Ji Qingyan had already anticipated the outcome—she would certainly be rejected by Tianlong. As for the miracle Lin Yi spoke of, it wasn't possible at all. After all, she had already inquired before, and even coming in person now wouldn't change anything. The scale of Chaoyang Group was clear; her influence wasn't that significant. "No problem, President Ji, when would you like to use it? I'll arrange it right away," Tianlong replied courteously. "Huh?" Ji Qingyan was stunned, hardly believing Tianlong's words. "What did you say? You can make the space available now?" Tianlong nodded and said, "Yes, President Ji, we can make time whenever you need it." Ji Qingyan was overjoyed. "Then thank you, Manager Wang. I plan to hold the conference in ten days." "No problem, I'll arrange it right away. Does President Ji have any other requirements? We'll try our best to meet them as long as it's within our capability." "No, that's all. We will hire someone for the decor, so I won't trouble Manager Wang any further." By now, Ji Qingyan still found it somewhat unbelievable. She had been previously informed that there was no availability for the next half-month, and now, with her own visit, any date was up for grabs. What exactly was going on? Was this just a lucky attempt without any expectations, and a miracle really occurred? It was too incredible. "Well, I will inform the staff later to keep the date open and not accept any other reservations." "Then thank you, Manager Wang." Ji Qingyan said, "How much is the deposit for the hotel? I'll have our finance department transfer the funds to you later." "No need, no need," Tianlong waved it off, "With President Ji's reputation, there's no need for a deposit. It's not necessary; we can just settle everything afterward." Ji Qingyan couldn't believe her ears. Was her influence really that significant? That seemed unlikely, right?! But she hadn't misheard either. "Are you sure you don't want a deposit?" "Of course it's not required. It's our honor to serve President Ji." "Manager Wang, you are too kind. It's our honor as well." After a few more polite exchanges, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan left the Peninsula Hotel. Tianlong courteously saw them out, standing watch until they departed. Tianlong felt his performance was decent enough, seemingly without any mistakes. "Manager Wang, on the 7th of next month, the auditorium has been booked by Yunkai Group. If we breach the contract unilaterally, we need to pay triple the penalty fee," said the assistant manager. "What is triple? We'll pay ten times that!" Tianlong declared, "If we cause the boss to miss out on his romance, we'll all have to pack up and leave!" … Leaving the Peninsula Hotel, the two got into the car, Ji Qingyan's excitement had not yet subsided. "Lin Yi, you really are a lucky star. You hit the nail on the head. A turnaround really happened." "I told you, just try and try, and perhaps a miracle will happen." "Yeah, thanks to believing in you, otherwise, I really couldn't have handled this." "President Ji, I think this matter should be put on hold for now. It seems you have a promise to fulfill," Lin Yi said. Ji Qingyan, startled, blushed. "How do you still remember that?" "Would President Ji go back on her word?" "How could I? After all, I am the president of Chaoyang Group. I couldn't possibly go back on my word." "That's good to hear. Let's fulfill that promise now," Lin Yi said with a grin. "We're in the car. How am I supposed to fulfill it? Let's wait until we get home." "No problem." With that, Lin Yi slammed on the gas, and the Pagani roared like a beast, leaving the other cars far behind. Ji Qingyan was speechless with a face full of frustration. All this just to see her perform an S-squat? Was it really necessary to go to such lengths? Following the address on the GPS, it took less than 20 minutes to drive to Ji Qingyan's home. Ji Qingyan's home was in Yunshui Villa in Zhong Hai. Among all the villas in Zhong Hai, Yunshui Villa was not considered high-end; it ranked in the mid-tier category. Given Ji Qingyan's status, it made sense for her to live there. Seeing the silver Pagani slowly approaching, the security guards at the villa complex were dumbstruck. Although Yunshui Villa's residents were wealthy or noble, most of their cars were sports cars worth several million. This was the first time they had seen a resident driving a Pagani Zonda. Damn, that's luxurious! "Open the gate, please." Since it was a private villa area, entrance was not permitted without an access card, so Ji Qingyan greeted the security guard at the gate. "Got it, President Ji." Recognizing Ji Qingyan, the guard didn't hesitate to open the gate and let them through. Watching Lin Yi's Pagani enter the villa complex, the security guard jogged back to the guardhouse. "Brother Wang, stop sleeping. President Ji from Villa Number Eight has been conquered!" "Really? President Ji is known for her cool demeanor as a lady president. Men lining up to give her flowers are nothing new, and now someone has conquered her?" "That's right. The guy driving the car was super handsome, and the car, a Pagani Zonda, seemed to be worth over 28 million, definitely a super-rich second-generation." "It seems President Ji is not unreachable after all; it's just that those pursuing her don't meet the standards." "Sigh, beauties really are reserved for the rich. Even someone like President Ji has been won over. Life feels pretty bleak." … Parking at Villa Number Eight, Ji Qingyan unbuckled her seat belt, ready to get out. "President Ji, have you forgotten something?" Ji Qingyan, just having calmed down, blushed again, stomping her foot in frustration. "Alright, alright, I know. You won't miss out on your ten S-squats." "No, that's not what I'm talking about." Lin Yi said, holding his phone, "We've arrived. Shouldn't you settle the bill for the ride?"
