Chapter 247: Chapter 247 What Do You Want? [Three Updates]

Qin Tian was completely surprised by the relationship between Zhang Yuehua and the Fan family.

While Qin Tian was drinking, he noticed Murong Fei, who stood awkwardly nearby, seeming repeatedly on the verge of speaking but stopping herself.

It was evident that Murong Fei wanted to interject and talk to Zhang Yuehua about the project, but feared ruining the mood and annoying Zhang Yuehua, which might result in unfavorable outcomes.

Seeing this, Qin Tian said, ”Mayor Zhang, you mentioned this matter, and there is something I really should talk to you about...”

”Oh?” Zhang Yuehua was taken aback.

Qin Tian turned his head and immediately signaled for Murong Fei to speak.

Murong Fei gratefully glanced at Qin Tian and said, ”Mayor Zhang, the project that Murong Group landed last month that I previously mentioned to you...”

Before Murong Fei could finish, Zhang Yuehua waved his hand to signal her not to hurry and turned his gaze to Qin Tian, asking, ”Qin Tian, is this Miss Murong Fei your...”

Upon hearing this, Murong Fei and Qin Tian exchanged glances.

The implication in Zhang Yuehua’s words was clear; he wanted to know what exactly Murong Fei was to Qin Tian and the nature of their relationship, as his response would depend on it.

This was a usual practice in social interactions: the way one deals with people depends on who they are.

If Murong Fei and Qin Tian were close, then Zhang Yuehua could consider managing this matter; however, if they were merely acquaintances, he would definitely need to think it over, since not everything could be readily assisted, especially concerning Murong Group’s current project.

Murong Fei stared blankly at Qin Tian, feeling awkward and unsure of what to say.

Qin Tian hesitated for a moment, then said, ”Mayor Zhang, she is my girlfriend, so...”

Qin Tian smiled awkwardly, speaking while reaching out his hand to hold Murong Fei’s.

Murong Fei’s hand trembled but did not pull away, letting Qin Tian hold it.

At that moment, she felt that Qin Tian’s palm was very warm.

”So it’s like that...” Zhang Yuehua responded with a faint smile, looked at Qin Tian, then at Murong Fei, and said, ”Since that’s the case, I will do my best. Miss Murong, to be honest, the project your company secured is now likely quite difficult to implement, as our government is about to make a new plan...”

”Mayor Zhang...” Murong Fei started to say worriedly, but before she could finish, Zhang Yuehua waved his hand to signal her not to speak.

”Of course, since you are Qin Tian’s girlfriend, your company must be trustworthy. So here’s the deal: your original project is temporarily nullified, and within this month, we will announce a new project tender. Go back and get ready; as long as there are no issues with your qualifications, I will assign you a project worth at least as much as the original one, if not more. How does that sound?”

”Thank you so much!”

Upon hearing Zhang Yuehua’s words, Murong Fei’s expression swiftly changed from worry to joy. She quickly poured a glass of red wine for Zhang Yuehua and another for Qin Tian, saying, ”This is to you, Mayor Zhang.”

Zhang Yuehua chuckled, ”No need for formalities, but let me just say this: once you secure the project, you must complete it with assured quality and quantity, as this is a matter concerning people’s livelihood.”

”Mayor Zhang, rest assured.”

Murong Fei promptly responded, her mood greatly uplifted.

After finishing the drinks, Zhang Yuehua left. Murong Fei still wore a smile, feeling joyful inside, when she suddenly felt something strange in her palm—a finger grasping and kneading it...

”What are you doing?” Murong Fei quickly pulled her hand away, only then realizing that Qin Tian had been holding it the whole time.

”I was just noticing how beautiful your hands are, your fingers so long and so white. I wanted a closer look,” Qin Tian said earnestly.

”Low life.” Murong Fei gave him a disdainful look.

Qin Tian disagreed and said, ”How is looking at my girlfriend’s hands becoming indecent?”

”Who is your girlfriend? Don’t talk nonsense!”

”Oh come on, I just called you my girlfriend and you didn’t object? Murong Fei, that’s not very sporting of you. You let me hold your hand just now and now you’re pretending not to know me. That’s pretty heartless.”

”You, I...it...it was just a temporary measure.”

Murong Fei was so flustered by Qin Tian that she couldn’t speak properly. She glanced at him, ”I know you were trying to help me just now, and I thank you for that. Is that all right?”

”Fine, I do you a huge favor, and all you do is thank me? Seems like my help is pretty worthless.”

”Then how do you want me to thank you? Tell me how much money you want?” Murong Fei pouted, aware of Qin Tian’s cunning mind.

”I don’t want money,” Qin Tian said.

”Then what do you want?” Murong Fei was taken aback.

”Heh heh, if you really want to thank me, then... call me ’hubby’...”

”You... Drop dead!”

Since Murong Fei had achieved her purpose at the banquet, they left before the party was over.

Of course, when Qin Tian left, he greeted Fan Bing, who was busy entertaining Fan Zongtian and responded briefly.

In the car, though Murong Fei was excited about her accomplishment, the shock that Qin Tian had given her at the party made her unable to resist asking him again, ”Qin Tian, who exactly are you? I don’t believe you’re just from the countryside.”

Qin Tian said, ”I never said I was from the countryside, that’s your assumption.”

”Then tell me, why do you even know Minister Fan?” Murong Fei looked at him, ”They said you cured Minister Fan’s illness, but I don’t believe there’s an illness that specifically requires your treatment. With Minister Fan’s status, what kind of doctors can’t he have?”

”Hey, you doubting my medical skills with that statement? Don’t forget, my massage technique is pretty awesome too,” Qin Tian said.

Remembering the scene of Qin Tian massaging her, Murong Fei blushed and said, ”But you couldn’t possibly be better than those famous doctors, right?”

Qin Tian said disdainfully, ”What’s so great about famous doctors? I just don’t want to be one, that’s all.”

Leaning in close, he smirked and whispered, ”You’ll know how skilled I am eventually, heh heh...”

”Boring.” Murong Fei pouted and glared at Qin Tian.

When they returned to Green Bamboo Forest, it was already around ten in the evening.

Upon entering the house, both Murong Fei and Qin Tian took off their evening attire. Those things were too awkward to wear at home.

Thump thump!

Just as Qin Tian had changed and was about to take a shower, he heard Murong Fei knocking at his door, ”Qin Tian, come out quickly!”

Qin Tian opened the door and asked, ”What’s up?”

Murong Fei, dressed in a white shirt and shorts, looked anxious and said, ”Xue Jiao is not in her room, and it’s so late, why isn’t she back yet?”

”Try calling her,” Qin Tian suggested.

Murong Fei dialed Su Xuejiao’s number and after a long while, she looked at Qin Tian with a pale face, ”Xue Jiao’s phone is turned off!”
