"What's wrong?" After coming out of the meeting room, He Qianshan's eyes had been fixed on her face. Wu Pengpeng subconsciously wiped her face. "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Caught peeping, He Qianshan shifted his gaze away embarrassedly. "No."
Previously, he just thought Wu Pengpeng was interesting and couldn't help teasing her, without much real affection.
But just now, the words Wu Pengpeng said to Lan Qing were like a pair of gentle hands, stirring up the calm strings of his heart.
In his long 26 - year life, he had always been alone, fighting his way to where he was now.
She was the first person who said she wanted to protect him.
He Qianshan's heart, which had been polished extremely hard by reality, suddenly became extremely soft. "Why are you so nice to me?"
Wu Pengpeng blurted out, "Because you're mine!"
Only after she said it did she realize the ambiguity of this sentence. Just as she was about to explain, Zhao Bufan grabbed her arm and dragged her towards the emergency exit. "Come with me for a while."
Before Wu Pengpeng could react, she was dragged into the stairwell.
"Wu Pengpeng, are you crazy? Spending 10 billion to buy a lousy company. Didn't you bring your brain with you when you went out today?"
Zhao Bufan's expression looked as if he would beat her up at any moment. It seemed that she couldn't get away with it today without giving a reasonable explanation.
Wu Pengpeng rolled her eyes and whispered mysteriously, "I'm not just buying her company. I'm eyeing the several IPs behind it!"
Zhao Bufan knew that Lantian Entertainment had several big science - fiction IPs, but science - fiction movies were too risky, and no one had dared to invest in them.
"Even if a movie has a box - office of 5 billion, think about how much we can earn from four movies! By then, we can just sit at home and count money!" Anyway, the copyrights of those IPs were almost expired, so it wouldn't increase her burden of squandering money.
Without giving Zhao Bufan time to think, she continued, "Besides, I've already promised someone to buy a company for them."
Zhao Bufan gave her a disdainful look. "To please a man, you're really going all out!"
Wu Pengpeng said, infatuated by his looks, "He's worth it. Look at his face. It's as if it's been photoshopped. It's so pleasing to the eye!"
She was so obsessed with He Qianshan's good looks that she tried to convince Zhao Bufan forcefully. "Don't you feel happy when you look at his face? Don't you want to spend money on him?"
Zhao Bufan shook his head honestly. "No, I just want to spend money on your Uncle San."
Wu Pengpeng advised earnestly, "Please remove the halo of a male god from Uncle San. Then compare them. Isn't He Qianshan much better - looking? He's simply the God of Beauty!"
Zhao Bufan sneered disdainfully. "What's the use of being good - looking? He's just a pretty boy."
"He's not just a pretty boy!" Wu Pengpeng quickly defended the God of Beauty. "I couldn't sleep last night, so I watched several of his previous dramas. Although his roles weren't major, his acting skills were super good. He has the potential to be a big hit..."
"Wait!" Zhao Bufan interrupted her. "Why couldn't you sleep? Didn't Aunt Tang cure your insomnia?"
Was this the point?
Wu Pengpeng evaded the question. "I was just too excited. It's hard to fall asleep when I've finally found a money - making tool!"
"That's not right!" Zhao Bufan's eyes scanned her up and down. "I feel like you're even happier after spending this money."
Oh no, she was about to be found out!
Wu Pengpeng quickly lied, "Because it's a good thing!"
Zhao Bufan looked at her with an expression of "Please start your performance".
Wu Pengpeng said bravely, "On the surface, I'm spending a fortune for a man. But in fact, I've bought several big IPs and won the heart of the God of Beauty, making him willing to earn money for me. Isn't that something to be happy about?"
She reached out and patted Zhao Bufan's shoulder, sighing mysteriously. "Bufan, your vision is too narrow! Look at me. Although I've got a bit more 'green grass' on my head than you, my vision is much broader."
Zhao Bufan gave her a disgusted look. "I remember someone was crazy about shopping a while ago. By the way, why don't you shop anymore recently?"
When Wu Pengpeng first came, she really wanted to squander money by shopping. Later, she found out that the luxury goods she bought would still be counted as family property at the original price, and she might even have to bear the risk of value - increase.
"I was just trying to understand the market. Now that I've got a clear understanding, there's no need to shop anymore." Saying this, she opened the stair - door. "Let's go. Sister will take you to have some fun."
When they went downstairs, Shen Qianqian and He Qianshan were still waiting downstairs. Wu Pengpeng was a bit surprised. "Why haven't you left yet?"
He Qianshan gave her a gentle smile. "Waiting for you."
Wu Pengpeng remembered what she had said at the door of the meeting room. Her cheeks flushed. She quickly changed the subject. "We're going to celebrate. Do you want to come?"
"Sorry, Ms. Wu. I've got something to do." Shen Qianqian looked a bit embarrassed and timidly looked at Wu Pengpeng.
Wu Pengpeng waved her hand. "It's okay. Go and do your business."
She looked at He Qianshan and smiled, asking for his opinion. "Mr. He, do you want to come with us?"
She was just being polite, but unexpectedly, He Qianshan agreed. "Sure!"
Wu Pengpeng naturally wouldn't miss this great opportunity to squander money. She took them to the money - burning Lan Ting Club.
Since her failed attempt to squander money here last time, she hadn't been here again. After entering, she found that the club had been redecorated.
The originally eye - blindingly resplendent big columns were gone. Instead, there were white jade columns with a clear and smooth texture. The overall style was full of a fairy - like atmosphere, making people feel as if they were in a heavenly palace.
Wu Pengpeng was looking at it in a daze when suddenly, He Qianshan's deep voice came from beside her. "Are you trying to revisit the old place and recall the past?"
She subconsciously turned her head and met He Qianshan's smiling eyes. Suddenly, she remembered the absurd things she had done when they first met.
She blushed and quickly denied it. "No, I'm not. You're talking nonsense!"
He Qianshan looked at her flustered eyes, which were like a sign of "There's no silver here", and thought she was so cute that he couldn't help chuckling.
Wu Pengpeng was stunned when she saw the smile on his lips.
He looked so good - looking when he smiled. No matter how many times she saw it, she would be attracted.
Just as Wu Pengpeng was indulging in He Qianshan's divine good looks, a charming voice suddenly came from not far away. "Wu fair!"
Wu Pengpeng looked up and saw Xu Xingchen striding towards her with an almost ecstatic expression on his face.
His eyes never left He Qianshan. If it weren't for the people around, he might have pounced on He Qianshan.
Wu Pengpeng rolled her eyes. "Please call me Fairy Wu. Thank you!"
Xu Xingchen shifted his gaze to her and said with a look of disgust, "Butterfly Wu!"
Wu Pengpeng was so angry that she kicked at him. Xu Xingchen quickly dodged to the side, avoiding her attack.
Although Xu Xingchen was into men, he didn't look effeminate. On the contrary, his facial features were regular and sharp. When he didn't speak, he even had a feeling of a cold and handsome man.
He Qianshan watched the scene of Wu Pengpeng and Xu Xingchen "flirting" and his face darkened.
Wu Pengpeng was about to chase after Xu Xingchen when suddenly she felt a cold breeze on her back.
She turned her head and saw He Qianshan looking at them coldly. Obviously, he was angry.
Wu Pengpeng: "..."
Dude, he's interested in you. It should be me who's angry, okay!
