Special Expert of Beauty CEO

Chapter 60: Chapter 059: Qin Real Estate [Third Update]

Murong Fei bombarded Lu Qing with questions—what was she up to?

Watching the two stunning beauties sitting face to face in the hospital room, answering and asking questions, Qin Tian felt nervous too.

Holy shit, she doesn’t think I’m dating Lu Qing, does she?

Thinking back to before, it seemed that Murong Fei indeed had tried to sound him out a few times.

Even if we were dating, what of it?

Cough cough, except, we weren’t dating. It wouldn’t matter much if Murong Fei misunderstood, but if Murong Bei misunderstood, that would be rather awkward.

Shit, I’m engaged to his granddaughter Murong Fei, and before we’re even married, I’m getting involved with another woman? Does he think the Murong family is so easy to bully? Does he think his granddaughter lacks appeal?

Thinking about it, Qin Tian could almost see Murong Bei spurting out a mouthful of old blood.

So, after some thought, Qin Tian blurted out: ”No.”

”Yes.”

As he spoke without thinking, Qin Tian froze, along with Lu Qing who had also spoken up.

But Lu Qing, this girl, had given an answer completely opposite to his own.

Damn!

Upon hearing the completely opposite answers from Qin Tian and Lu Qing, a strange expression flickered across Murong Fei’s face. Then she turned to Qin Tian and said with a light smile, ”What’s the matter, Captain Qin? Being in love is something good, are you embarrassed to admit it?”

Qin Tian found himself instantly at a loss for words.

He turned to look at Lu Qing, sitting to the side, who quickly gestured with her eyes, seemingly to say, ”Hey, help me out here, admit it.”

Except, Qin Tian also had his own silent struggles. Me, admit it? If I admit we’re in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, when I return to the Green Bamboo Forest Villa tonight, won’t I be on my knees scrubbing the washboard?

But if he didn’t help Lu Qing, it seemed a bit unreasonable. Just now, Murong Fei had seen him and Lu Qing in a close embrace. If he didn’t admit it, she probably wouldn’t believe him and would instead think he was afraid to face his actions.

Murong Fei and Lu Qing both focused their gazes on Qin Tian, who blinked his eyes—one second, two seconds... He genuinely didn’t know how to answer.

”Hehe, such a trivial matter, why would Ms. Fei concern herself with it? I’m just a low-ranking security guard, and you coming here was beyond my expectations,” he said, trying to change the subject.

”Are you saying my visit was ill-timed?” Murong Fei countered.

”Uh...”

Qin Tian’s expression blanked—holy shit, why do I sense a strong hint of jealousy in her tone? Could she be jealous?

”No, no, it was just unexpected,” Qin Tian said quickly.

”You’re my employee, and you’ve been injured. It’s only natural for me to come and check on you. What’s so strange about that?” Murong Fei explained. ”I don’t know the specifics of what happened, and I won’t ask you now. When your injuries are healed, write me a report. That’s it. You don’t have to come to work for the next few days. Take the time to recuperate. I’ve got other things to handle, so I’ll take my leave.”

After speaking, Murong Fei stood up, grabbed her handbag, put on her high heels, and walked out.

Both Lu Qing and Qin Tian were dumbstruck—they just left like that?

Watching Murong Fei’s elegant figure leave in her high heels, Qin Tian gave a wry smile. Did she really think I got her a mistress?

”Qin Tian, Ms. Fei... seems a bit displeased with you,” said Lu Qing as she quickly closed the door of the hospital room and cautiously spoke to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian shook his head: ”I haven’t offended her...”

Then, turning his gaze to Lu Qing, he said, ”Sister Qing, why did you say we were in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship just now? You’ve made this decision without telling me, the person involved?” Qin Tian complained.

Lu Qing laughed, ”It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea. Think about it, Ms. Fei saw us messing around in the hospital room. If I said we weren’t in a relationship, would she believe it? If we’re not boyfriend and girlfriend, what do you think she’d think of me? She’d definitely see me as an improper woman, and that would ruin my future prospects...”

Speaking, she spread her hands, then quickly smiled again: ”It’s no big deal. Being my boyfriend—surely you don’t feel like you’re losing out, do you?”

”Um, are you asking me if we’re breaking even here?”

”It’s not like it’s your first time pretending to be my boyfriend,” retorted Lu Qing, giving him a glance and blushing as she leaned in and pecked Qin Tian on the face, ”That’s your reward, hehe, not sure if you’re used to being kissed by a beauty.”

”...”

...

Over the next few days, Qin Tian recuperated in the hospital with Lu Qing, who took leave to stay with him the whole time. They chatted and joked around, growing closer.

Since Murong Fei’s one visit, she hadn’t come again, though members of the gang, like Wild Boar, did visit a few times.

Of course, while recuperating, Qin Tian wasn’t idle either. He was already making arrangements for Wild Boar and his crew to look for a location to start planning the real estate company.

There definitely wasn’t enough money, but Qin Tian decided to take it one step at a time—there was always a way.

The good news was that the Fire Dragon Gang’s properties had sold quickly. Except for the internet café, all assets had been sold, bringing in 22 million in cash.

A few days later, Zhang Hanbin found an affordable office building. Qin Tian decided to rent it and immediately set up the company.

With Lu Qing’s help managing the bureaucracy at the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, the company was registered. As for its name, upon everyone’s recommendation, Qin Tian accepted Wild Boar’s suggestion and named it ”Qin Real Estate.”

And so, a small real estate company with an asset base of twenty million was established.

With no connections, no backing, and not even any professionals on the team, this company was quite unremarkable.

But no one could have predicted that from this point onwards, a powerful business empire was about to be born!

”I’ve resigned.”

That day, when Lu Qing arrived at Qin Tian’s hospital ward, she said to him with calm resolve.

”Welcome to my embrace, heh heh, you can start working at my Qin Real Estate Company tomorrow. Cough cough, as for helpers, you can recruit anyone you need, and if we’re short on people these days, I can have Zhang Hanbin and Fu Zhangzhi come over to help, until you find someone you’re satisfied with.” Qin Tian, sitting on the hospital bed, said with a chuckle.

Everything was going according to plan, and naturally, he was very reassured.

His injuries were now mostly healed, and next on his agenda was the most important matter: he needed to find a way to raise funds, and then, find an opportunity to acquire land.

For a real estate company, without land, there was nothing at all.

Of course, raising funds and acquiring land was very difficult. At least for the moment, Qin Tian and Lu Qing racked their brains but couldn’t think of any leads, which was incredibly frustrating.

The registered capital of Qin Real Estate was ten million, with Qin Tian’s name as the legal representative. Because most of the funds were contributed by Wild Boar, Qin Tian gave him an 80% share in the company and kept 20% for himself. Although Wild Boar did not agree, he eventually accepted under Qin Tian’s insistence.

Of course, the main authority in Qin Real Estate was still in Qin Tian’s hands.

Operations at Qin Real Estate were proceeding smoothly, and within a few days, Qin Tian was already processing his hospital discharge.

After being discharged, Lu Qing started managing Qin Real Estate, Wild Boar was overseeing the operation of the popular internet cafés, and Qin Tian, the nominal boss, had to honestly return to his job at Murong Group.

When he returned to the Security Department, Qin Tian saw that there were only a few people around and, feeling perplexed, he asked Liu Ping’an, ”Fatty, what’s going on? I sense something’s strange in the atmosphere of our Security Department. Where is everyone? Where have all the others gone?”

Liu Ping’an hesitated and then said, ”Well... Boss, I really can’t tell you what Miss Murong Fei has ordered.”

Murong Fei?

Qin Tian’s brow furrowed instantly, and piecing together the reduced staff at the Security Department, he had a sudden hunch, ”You don’t need to tell me; I can guess. Something happened at East Park, right?”

Liu Ping’an nodded and seriously said, ”I just nodded and didn’t say anything; that doesn’t break Miss Murong Fei’s rule, right?”

Qin Tian, at a loss for words, asked, ”What exactly did Miss Murong Fei tell you?”

”She told us not to inform you about what happened at East Park... Boss, it’s not that I’m disloyal, alright? I originally planned to visit you when I heard you were injured, but we weren’t allowed to leave, so...”

”Enough babbling. Let’s go, to East Park!”

Sensing something was amiss, Qin Tian didn’t waste any words and immediately dragged Liu Ping’an to rush towards East Park.

On the way, Liu Ping’an, who had been hesitating and struggling for a long time, finally told Qin Tian about the events that had taken place during his time in the hospital.

It turned out that since Qin Tian’s injury, construction at the East Park project had come to a complete halt.

As a result, both Murong Group and its affiliated construction corporation were feeling immense pressure, and to avoid worsening the situation, they had temporarily stopped work on the East Park project.

Of course, as for why Qiao Zhicheng, the second elder brother, was so furious, no one knew.

After a visit around East Park, aside from a dozen security guards watching over the materials and equipment, not a single worker was present.

Qin Tian stood next to the construction site, clenched his teeth, and his anger was extraordinary!

This incident, Qiao Zhicheng was definitely targeting him! Damn it!

Qin Tian’s fists clenched tightly!

Last time, I haven’t even settled the score with you, and now you’re coming to find me!

Qiao Zhicheng, I told you, I’d make you pay tenfold! Just wait!

His gaze swept across the listless security guards, and Qin Tian again felt extremely guilty.

Because of his own grudges, he was responsible for Murong Fei’s major project being halted for over ten days, resulting in at least a million in losses!

But why didn’t Murong Fei let me know?

Qin Tian was very puzzled in his heart.

”Hmm?”

As he brooded, he looked up and saw two familiar figures diagonally opposite the construction site.

Those two individuals, Qin Tian remembered them; that night, they were the ones who attacked him with knives!

Fuck!

They were keeping watch here!

Seeing those two hoodlums, Qin Tian was seething, and the harrowing scene of that night reappeared in his mind. He clenched his fists and charged straight over!

”Qin Tian, heh, you’re not crippled?”

”I thought you were paralyzed from the waist down.”

I’ll beat you until you’re paralyzed!

With rage soaring to the heavens, Qin Tian, without saying a word, rushed forward and caught one of the blond thugs and started beating him ferociously!

Motherfucker!
