"I, I, I." Wu Pengpeng smoothly pulled out her set of "three moves to coax the God of Good Looks". "I'm the red apricot, I climbed over the wall, I was wrong!"
She hugged the "Little God of Good Looks" - a little rabbit doll she bought on the way back this afternoon. Its crescent - shaped eyes were so much like He Qianshan's that she named it the "Little God of Good Looks". She rolled on the bed and let out a long sigh of relief. It was good that he was still willing to talk to her.
She had sent so many caring and flattering messages this afternoon, but He Qianshan didn't reply to a single one.
She remembered the scene of He Qianshan leaving with Wan Qianxun, imagining them chatting merrily and exchanging amorous glances. For a moment, she lost her cool and sent that message accusing He Qianshan.
But He Qianshan still didn't reply. He simply didn't care about her.
This realization made her both scared and sad. She was afraid that He Qianshan would leave her for good, which would deal an unprecedented blow to her cause of squandering money.
As for why she was sad, she couldn't even explain it herself.
By the time she regained her senses and wanted to recall that ill - chosen message, it was already past the recall time limit.
She had no choice but to delete the accusing message and deceive herself into pretending that nothing had happened.
Now that He Qianshan had called her on his own initiative, it meant there was still room for improvement.
She must coax back her money - squandering divine weapon and never let him live in harmony with someone else.
Wu Pengpeng was still brewing the next wave of flattering words in her mind when she heard He Qianshan's soft laughter in her ear: "It's good that you know."
That laughter was like a string of soul - captivating notes. Wu Pengpeng was instantly captivated. She murmured in her heart, it's good that he's laughing, it's good that he's laughing.
He Qianshan held back his laughter and deliberately put on a serious tone and asked, "So will you do this again next time?"
Hearing his cold voice, Wu Pengpeng suddenly came to her senses. She couldn't admit to this!
She really had gone to discuss business, although it was a money - squandering business, it was a serious matter to her.
If she blindly admitted that she had done something wrong, wouldn't she be unable to continue squandering money with others in the future?
She quickly denied it: "No, no. I didn't climb over the wall. I was going to discuss something serious."
Even through the phone line, He Qianshan could hear her nervousness. His heart softened for no reason, and his tone was filled with a bit of indulgence: "Okay, I'm just kidding. I know you didn't."
Hearing his words, the stone in Wu Pengpeng's heart finally dropped, and her heart was instantly filled with indescribable joy.
She couldn't tell what this strange feeling was. She could only attribute it to the joy of keeping her "money - squandering divine weapon".
Suddenly, there was a moment of silence on the phone. Wu Pengpeng was afraid that he would hang up, so she quickly tried to make small talk: "How's your work going?"
He Qianshan hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer. He didn't want to lie to her, but it wasn't the time to confess yet.
He had no choice but to say nothing and muddle through for the time being.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Wu Pengpeng instantly imagined a tragic story of an 18 - line underdog being bullied and looked down upon.
She felt a bit pity for him: "It's okay. They just don't recognize your worth. Don't be angry. We don't care about their lousy project. Later we'll do a big project and make them jealous."
He Qianshan knew that she had misunderstood, but he went along with her words and just said "hmm".
Hearing that he was in a low mood, Wu Pengpeng suddenly had an idea: "Are you free tomorrow?"
Before He Qianshan could answer, Fu Heng's call came in. It should be something urgent in the company. He had no choice but to end the call with Wu Pengpeng first: "I have another call coming in. I'll answer it first and talk to you later."
"Okay, okay, okay. You go ahead and be busy." Wu Pengpeng quickly hung up the phone sensibly.
As soon as He Qianshan answered the call, he heard Fu Heng's excited voice: "Hahaha, boss, have you seen the news?"
He Qianshan hadn't seen the news, but he could roughly guess what Fu Heng was talking about.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Fu Heng thought he didn't know yet and happily explained to him: "After the news of our company's cooperation with Wanle Park was released, Qisheng slandered our company for unilaterally tearing up the contract. They even wanted to play the innocent victim to frame our company. But now they've shot themselves in the foot. After those two negative news stories came out, General Manager Zhou is busy removing the hot searches!"
He Qianshan just said "hmm" faintly. He had planned all these things himself, so he naturally knew better than anyone else.
Although he had been cooperating with Zhou Tongsheng for almost six years, it was just a business relationship based on interests.
Since Zhou Tongsheng could turn against him and join forces with Song Jiancheng to try to pull him down from the top position of the Song Group, he could also use these negative news stories about Zhou Tongsheng to completely destroy him.
He had been in the business world for so many years. He had to be a bit harder - hearted than others, or he would have been torn apart and eaten long ago.
Fu Heng was still chattering on about Qisheng's current miserable situation in his ear. He Qianshan suddenly felt a bit tired. He pinched the bridge of his nose and coldly interrupted him: "If there's nothing else, hang up."
"Yes, yes." Fu Heng quickly got back to the point. "Do you know the 'Prospective Ecological Agricultural Science and Technology Park'? Their company wants to cooperate with ours. General Manager Han wants to make an appointment with you to meet tomorrow."
Taking the opportunity, he started to explain: "This project is currently the hottest agricultural project. Many big companies are vying for it, but they actually came to us on their own initiative."
He Qianshan frowned: "Agriculture?"
He knew this company. In the past two years, the trend of ecological agriculture had been very strong. The rise of self - media and online platforms had indeed promoted the development of ecological agriculture. However, projects that relied too much on external conditions were never within his consideration.
He subconsciously wanted to refuse, but suddenly he remembered what Wu Pengpeng and Jiang He had said yesterday. They were going to cooperate on an ecological agriculture project. She should have gone to sign the contract today.
With her business acumen, she was very likely to have been deceived.
The words on the tip of He Qianshan's tongue suddenly changed: "Okay, I'll meet them first."
After hanging up the phone, he thought for a while and still didn't call Wu Pengpeng, for fear that she would continue to ask about today's matter.
So he sent her a text message: "I have something to do tomorrow."
Wu Pengpeng was holding her phone waiting for He Qianshan's call. When she saw his text message, she thought he might be busy with something important, so she quickly replied: "It's okay. You go ahead and be busy."
Originally, she wanted to ask He Qianshan if he was busy now and if they could go out for a meal together, but now she didn't dare to ask.
Wu Pengpeng sighed disappointedly, threw her phone aside, and rolled around on the bed boredly, thinking about how to kill this boring time.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. She sat up suddenly, dug out her notebook, and started to work on it.
By the time Wu Pengpeng finished everything, it was almost twelve o'clock. She fell asleep contentedly.
At night, she had a sweet dream. He Qianshan said that he was grateful for everything she had done for him. Since he had nothing to repay her with, he offered a kiss as a token of his gratitude.
Wu Pengpeng happily pouted her lips, thinking that she could finally get back her lost first kiss.
The next second, her mouth was stuck by something with a strange texture. The force was so strong that it seemed to swallow her up.
Wu Pengpeng suddenly opened her eyes and came face - to - face with the crescent - shaped smiling eyes of the "Little God of Good Looks".
She pushed away the culprit and glared at Zhao Bufan, who had almost suffocated her: "What are you going crazy for so early in the morning?"
Zhao Bufan glared at her, picked up the pad from the bedside table, and threw it in front of her.
Wu Pengpeng subconsciously dodged backward and narrowly avoided being hit.
Zhao Bufan stood with her hands on her hips and glared at her, as if she was about to pounce on her and beat her up at any moment: "Look at what you've done!"
