Chapter 42: Chapter 041 It’s Not Bad to Marry You

Azure Dragon Lin Yu had not sent any news yet, but Qin Tian had already started making moves on his part.

Being incorporated under Dragon Soul, although it was unexpected, Qin Tian had overall taken his first step.

From now on, in Zhonghai City, he had his own power base.

Today, the Skull Mercenary Group was powerful, becoming the overlord of the mercenary world. Not only did they have thousands of elite mercenaries, but they also owned properties in major cities around the world.

The mercenary groups of today did not only work as bodyguards; they had completely infiltrated the cities, starting to venture into real estate, entertainment, and even the steel industry.

If he wanted to rebuild Dragon Soul, he needed it to be the best in the world.

Therefore, Qin Tian decided to change his approach. He would not only form the Dragon Soul Mercenary Team, but he also planned to develop and strengthen Dragon Soul’s economic power within the city, becoming a tycoon in real estate and entertainment.

Economic foundation dictates superstructure, in other words, in this world, having money makes you the boss. Qin Tian understood this clearly.

”The total assets of the Skull Mercenary Group are probably at least several hundred billion. My Dragon Soul, currently has only tens of millions, there’s quite a big gap in strength.”

Lying in bed at night, Qin Tian tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Being trampled underfoot by the Skull Mercenary Group was something he couldn’t swallow!

”Since I’ve come to Zhonghai City, I must make something of myself, I can’t keep muddling along. In the future, Dragon Soul can completely use East Sea City as a base, and spread around the world! I need to figure out a way to make money and recruit people!”

After making his resolve, Qin Tian also had his plan. On one hand, he was waiting for news from Lin Yu, waiting for the Dragon Soul Five Dragons to reunite.

On the other hand, he couldn’t just sit around. He aimed to have a territory carved out in Zhonghai by the time the Dragon Soul Five Dragons gathered.

...

”Qin Tian, our reward has been issued. Uh, I took the liberty of taking 630,000, and the remaining million is in this card. The password is written on the card, here.”

Qin Tian just arrived at Lu Qing’s office that morning when Lu Qing handed him a bank card.

Qin Tian was stunned. An award of 1,630,000 and Lu Qing only took 630,000?

Although it was mainly Qin Tian who completed the task, ultimately, the reason things happened was also because of Lu Qing, and that evening, she had even gotten drunk for the cause...

Remembering the scene of Lu Qing drinking desperately that night, Qin Tian felt a pang in his heart and laughed, ”How could I take so much? You are my master; you should take the bigger share, and I the smaller, hehe.”

He did not take the bank card.

”I didn’t put in any effort in this matter. I’m already embarrassed to take 630,000, and you want me to take 1 million? No way. You must take this money. Did you hear me? You deserve it, and I am your master, so listen to me.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s serious and earnest expression, Qin Tian sighed. It seemed like he had to take the money whether he wanted to or not.

What should he use this one million for? In the office, Qin Tian pondered.

The old man had been stingy with him since he was young. Even though he was the once-famous Dragon King of the mercenary world, Qin Tian’s personal savings amounted to just over two million, which was quite pitiful among the mercenaries’ big shots.

”Since I plan to make a big impact in Zhonghai City, it’s best to engage in whatever makes money.” Smoothing his brow, Qin Tian had made up his mind; he decided to venture into real estate!

”Wild Boar, tally up your assets over there; close down those video game arcades, KTVs, and nightclubs, and get me some money. I’m preparing to start a real estate company.”

”Ah? Boss, are you sure about this?”

Upon hearing Qin Tian’s decision, Wild Boar on the other end of the phone was shocked, ”Even if I sell off those properties, I can at most scrape together about twenty million in a short time. Is that amount enough to enter the real estate industry?”

Wild Boar was very worried, furrowing his brow.

”Don’t worry; you just get me the money. I’ll handle the rest.”

Once Qin Tian made up his mind, he never changed it. Since he wanted to do real estate, he was confident that he would make it big.

On the other end of the phone, knowing Qin Tian’s decision was final, Wild Boar said nothing more and immediately began to liquidate his assets.

”After getting the money, I’ll still need people...”

Sitting in the office, Qin Tian started worrying about the staff needed for the real estate company.

”Qin Tian, are you slacking off in the office again? Come and help me print some materials, hmph.”

Just then, Lu Qing pushed the door open and entered, her beautiful face showing a reproachful expression toward Qin Tian.

However, seeing Lu Qing come in, Qin Tian’s frown immediately lifted, and he smiled.

”Hehe, Sister Qing, your timing couldn’t be better. After work this afternoon, I’ll treat you to dinner.”

Talking about the lack of people, wasn’t Lu Qing the best candidate? She was educated and ambitious, and had several years of experience in real estate industry; she had all the necessary experience, definitely an excellent choice.

”What are you up to? Offering unsolicited help is either sinister or thieving. Are you trying to ask me for a favor? Hmph, clarify it, otherwise, I’m not attending your dangerous banquet.”

Seeing Qin Tian’s mischievous smile, Lu Qing, who was quite astute, did not immediately agree.

”What feast at Hongmen? It’s just a meal together. Hehe, a disciple inviting his master to dine doesn’t need a reason,” Qin Tian laughed.

”Looking at that smile of yours, I know it’s nothing good. I’m not going!”

Lu Qing also pursed her lips and smiled.

...

After work in the afternoon, across from Hongtu Real Estate, in a Chinese restaurant, Qin Tian and Lu Qing faced each other as they sat.

Ever since they sat down, Qin Tian just kept staring at Lu Qing, making her feel embarrassed and her face turn red.

Strangely enough, she hadn’t felt this way when Qin Tian looked at her before. Now, she even felt her cheeks blushing and her heart racing, unable to meet Qin Tian’s intense gaze directly.

”Hey, what’s gotten into you? You’ve been staring at me ever since you sat down. Haven’t you seen a beautiful woman before?” Lu Qing said, annoyed.

”Hehe, Qing sister, I think you’re becoming more and more beautiful,” Qin Tian said.

”Uh...” Lu Qing was speechless, ”If you need my help with something, just say it directly. Don’t sweet-talk me; why do I feel like you’re never serious?”

”I can be very manly when I’m serious, and you’ll see in the future.”

”Stop your nonsense and get to the point,” Lu Qing took a sip of her tea.

”Qing sister, last time you told me, what was your ultimate goal again?”

”Huh? Why are you asking this?”

Lu Qing was startled, not expecting Qin Tian to ask this. ”I, I was just saying last time. I want to start a business and run a company, but, right now, that dream is miles away; let’s not even think about it.”

Lu Qing took a deep breath, getting somewhat serious as she talked about her dreams.

At this moment, Qin Tian’s expression also became serious.

”Didn’t I say it last time? I can help you achieve your dream,” Qin Tian said.

Lu Qing smiled, thinking Qin Tian was joking, but then she looked up and saw his serious expression, and she was momentarily speechless.

Could he really make her ultimate dream come true? Why would he help me? Could it be... he really wants to marry me?

With a flushed face and fanciful thoughts, Lu Qing lowered her head: ”Qin Tian, did you bring me here today to talk about this?”

Qin Tian nodded, ”Yes, I’m planning to start a real estate company and can’t find a suitable president. You’re the best fit,” Qin Tian smiled.

”Me?” Lu Qing looked up, her mouth slightly agape, surprised, ”What are you talking about? You’re starting a real estate company? You’re not secretly a rich second-generation, are you...?”

Lu Qing naturally knew the significant financial strength needed to open a real estate company.

”No,” Qin Tian shook his head, ”I can manage to pull together about twenty million for now, I’ve calculated, and just about enough to start. The rest will involve playing capital games and seeing how to acquire land.”

”Qin Tian, are you serious?”

Lu Qing was somewhat incredulous, feeling that this whole thing seemed unreliable. Unless Qin Tian was a hidden tycoon, but from what she knew about Qin Tian, both ”big” and ”tycoon” seemed to have little to do with him.

”Ah, Qing sister, don’t worry too much. I’m just asking you, if I start a real estate company, would you be willing to quit your job to help me?” Qin Tian’s gaze fixed on her.

”I...”

Before Lu Qing could speak, Qin Tian added: ”Of course, you should be prepared for a new company, it might be tough. As for the salary, I might not offer much for the first couple of years, 300,000 a year plus five percent of the company’s original shares, how does that sound?”

”Qin Tian...”

Hearing the terms offered by Qin Tian, Lu Qing was somewhat moved.

She acknowledged her capabilities, but still, she was just a real estate sales manager at the moment. Suddenly becoming a president? She didn’t know if she could handle it.

”Qin Tian, thank you for your kindness, but I’m afraid I might not perform well...”

”If you don’t do well, I’m here. Just focus on your work and leave the rest to me.”

Seeing that Lu Qing hadn’t replied, Qin Tian raised his cup and gently clinked it against Lu Qing’s, ”Since there are no objections, then it’s settled. The company will start within a month, and you’ll take up your post directly. Cheers!”

”Thank you, Qin Tian.” Lu Qing took a deep breath, looking at the man in front of her whom she could understand less and less, and asked, ”Qin Tian, you’re not starting this company just to help me fulfill my dream, are you? Where did you get so much money?”

”I’m co-opening it with friends; don’t worry, it’s all legitimate money.”

Qin Tian looked at Lu Qing’s enchanting face and smiled, ”Starting a company to make money while helping you achieve your dream makes me happy.”

Before Lu Qing could respond, Qin Tian added another line.

”Of course, making money while getting to marry you wouldn’t be bad either, hehe.”
