Hearing He Lanjin's laughter on the other end of the phone, Qiao Hanye smiled as he took a sip of his coffee. He lazily held He Lanjin's old phone in his hand and asked, "Do you still want your phone back?"
He didn't expect He Lanjin to be so calm. She knew that the phone was in his hands, but she never asked about it. Instead, she waited for him to bring it up. This woman was so calm that Qiao Hanye wanted to uncover her every layer.
"I can just give it to you," He Lanjin said proudly.
The phone was no longer important to He Lanjin. Whatever she wanted to do with it had already been accomplished by Qiao Hanye.
Qiao Hanye laughed softly. "You really don't want it?" He Lanjin was obviously throwing a tantrum, but he pretended to not notice and allowed her to make a fuss. It was as if her throwing tantrums was a beautiful thing.
He Lanjin stood up, put on her coat and walked out of her office. "I'm afraid Mr. Qiao will be lonely in the middle of the night, so I'll let him have the phone. You can take it out and admire its contents in the middle of the night."
"Nonsense," Qiao Hanye said in a low voice. "You are enough." Hearing He Lanjin's footsteps, he got up from his chair. However, he saw Han Beicheng coming so Qiao Hanye remained in his study.
He Lanjin laughed happily as she left her studio.
Qiao Hanye listened until the call was ended, He Lanjin's laughter ringing in his ear.
Qiao Hanye stared at his phone and laughed involuntarily. He then looked up and saw Han Beicheng looking dumbfounded. "What happened?" Qiao Hanye asked.
"Glory World has been reported anonymously to the higher-ups. There is now a clamor for the corporation to undergo strict investigation," Han Beicheng reported. "Lu Zifan seems bent on destroying Glory World, even if it meant using underhanded methods."
Qiao Hanye sneered as he took off his coat. He handed it to Han Beicheng and unbuttoned his shirt. "Lu Zifan's too impatient."
"Master, do you want to fight back?" Han Beicheng asked.
"There's no rush," Qiao Hanye said casually. He brewed more coffee and handed a cup to Han Beicheng.
"Will you confirm if Nan Feng went out to cause some trouble?" Qiao Hanye asked as he felt a headache starting; Nan Feng could be very stubborn sometimes. "He told me he just wanted a motorbike."
"Yes, Master," Han Beicheng said. Nan Feng really wanted to hurt Lu Zifan; it was a good thing that Nan Feng controlled himself and only gave Lu Zifan a warning.
The landline phone rang. Han Beicheng picked up and looked at Qiao Hanye. "Master, it's He Wenqing. He wants to talk to you."
Qiao Hanye walked over to Han Beicheng and took the phone. "Hello," he said into the receiver. "What's the matter?"
He Wenqing could not help but feel a little nervous when he heard Qiao Hanye's deep and charming voice. He Wenqing could not help but feel awed; this person shook the entire Jiang City overnight, proof that he was a ruthless businessman. No one in Jiang City could match Qiao Hanye.
"President, as I told you before, my daughter is beautiful and has a good figure. She has never had a boyfriend. I called to invite you to have a meal with her. I have booked a room at the hotel for you and He Lanjin. I'm sure you will be satisfied." He Wenqing blabbered, unashamed.
Qiao Hanye sneered. "Why? Mr. He, are you selling your daughter?"
"No, no. Forget about selling her! Even if you force yourself on her, I will never call the police! It's her honor to be able to contribute to the Glory World Group," He Wenqing said in an effort to flatter Qiao Hanye. He Wenqing believed that Qiao Hanye was like other men, who cared for nothing but power, wealth and beautiful, sexy and young women.
He Wenqing believed that the more powerful a man was, the more he liked to play with the "hot stuff."
Qiao Hanye slammed the phone down in anger. He turned to Han Beicheng. "How are we doing with the plans for the He Corporation?"
"Everything is going smoothly, Master," Han Beicheng replied.
Qiao Hanye absentmindedly rubbed the diamond watch on his wrist, gently touching it with his fingertips. "Speed up the progress and freeze all of He Wenqing's assets."
"Yes, Master."
He Wenqing was banking on Glory World's rise to power. He thought that by sending his daughter to the boss of Glory World, he was securing the future of his corporation. He would do whatever he could to champion the He Group, even at the expense of He Lanjin.
