Chapter 947 Business Magic
As they breathed in entanglement, the lipstick left crimson marks at the corners of each other's lips.
Zhou Qi took a half step back to examine his masterpiece, and stroked her wet lower lip with his thumb: "Can you speak properly now?"
"Don't make trouble!"
Li Jiaxin pulled the front of his shirt and wiped it, the scent of cedar perfume lingering on her fingertips: "In the car this afternoon, Qianqian and I..."
"Have you reached a consensus?"
Zhou Qi interrupted her and wiped away the blush on her cheekbones with his fingertips: "She won't embarrass you, and you won't embarrass me."
While Li Jiaxin was stunned, the shackles on her wrists suddenly disappeared.
She looked at the silver cufflinks shaking as the other person turned around, and suddenly realized that the outcome of this contest was already in the hands of this man.
Li Jiaxin put her fingertips against Zhou Qi's chest, her tone was filled with anger: "You always act like you have us under your control, do you think we can't live without you?"
Zhou Qi grabbed her wrist and chuckled: "I should be the one saying this, right? If you didn't see through me, how could we get along so well..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Jiaxin suddenly stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "No wonder Qianqian always says that your face is thicker than the corner of the city wall. I don't think even a steel nail can pierce it."
Zhou Qi took her arm around her waist, his magnetic laughter echoing in the corridor: "This evaluation is quite pertinent."
As he said this, he suddenly turned around and trapped Li Jiaxin against the wall. As his palm moved along her waistline, his nose brushed against her red earlobe.
"Zhou Qi!" Li Jiaxin suddenly pushed him away with rapid breathing.
Her high heels made a dull sound on the carpet, and she pulled the man by his tie and walked straight towards the suite.
The moment the door lock popped open, she suddenly hooked her arms around Zhou Qi's neck, and with a glance, she took the initiative to meet his scent.
When their lips met, Zhou Qi suddenly pulled back and wiped away her smudged lip gloss with his thumb: "Ms. Li, your thoughts are not pure."
Looking at his smudged makeup in the mirror, he backed away to the opposite room: "The night is short, so why not go to sleep in peace."
"Stop!"
Li Jiaxin clutched the messy hem of her shirt, and the wrinkles of the chiffon fabric stretched all the way to her chest.
Zhou Qi leaned against the door frame and tilted his head: "We have a meeting tomorrow morning, President Li."
Before the metal door closed, he stuck his head out again and added, "Remember to apply an ice mask to reduce the swelling."
Looking at the swaying figure behind the frosted glass, Li Jiaxin was so angry that she threw her handbag at the entrance.
This man who always controls the rhythm can always withdraw accurately at the critical point, leaving her gritting her teeth at the remaining warmth in the room.
The wooden door was slowly closed by the slender hands.
When the lock clicked, the moonlight reflected from the glass curtain wall just happened to fall on the dressing mirror.
Li Jiaxin's fingertips unconsciously stroked her lips, and she was suddenly startled by the image in the mirror and took a step back - the originally exquisite rose-colored lip glaze was now smudged into an abstract painting, and there were suspicious water marks on the corners of her mouth.
"Zhou Qi, are you born in the year of the dog?"
She shook her fist at the air, but suddenly laughed when she caught a glimpse of the red mark on her collarbone.
In the rising mist of the bathtub, the phone screen lit up with the seventh missed call notification.
When the video call was finally connected, the scene Zhou Qi saw made his Adam's apple move slightly.
In the steaming water vapor, the beauty without makeup wrapped in a bath towel raised her eyebrows: "Mr. Zhou, don't you intend to take responsibility for your masterpiece?"
"I remember taking responsibility three hours ago."
Zhou Qi shook his red wine glass, with two buttons on his collar open: "Besides, Miss Li's current state makes it difficult for us to be a gentleman."
Li Jiaxin loosened the edge of the bath towel to reveal her shoulders: "When did Mr. Zhou start to pay attention to gentlemanly manners?"
Suddenly he lowered his voice and said, "How about... I ask the front desk to send up a bottle of red wine?"
"And then let the entertainment section write 'Popular young actress meets mysterious man at night'?"
Zhou Qi turned the ring on his ring finger: "Or are you more looking forward to a title like "Li Jiaxin's Secret Meeting at the Hotel for Three Hours"? "
"Zhou Qi!"
The sound of a glass cup hitting the marble countertop could be heard: "You clearly know that Lin and I have long been..."
"Shh!"
The man suddenly leaned closer to the camera: "Is the French window of the executive suite on the 12th floor facing the film and television base?"
Before the other party could react, the video was suddenly cut off.
Zhou Qi chuckled as he turned his phone around, and when the twelfth missed call popped up, he switched to another line.
"Director Qiao is very free recently?"
He raised his eyebrows at the other end of the phone: "The problem with last quarter's financial report..."
"Mr. Zhou, why don't you first explain the hotel parking lot photo that's trending on Weibo?"
A cold female voice with grinding teeth: "Do you need me to help you calculate the time management plan for dealing with four women at the same time?"
Zhou Qi looked at the gradually brightening skyline outside the window and raised his lips: "I thought Director Qiao's mathematical ability was verified in the Maldives three years ago."
"I didn't..."
Before Qiao Qingying finished her words, she tapped the file bag with her fingertips and said, "Boss Zhou is so busy that he doesn't even see a small character like me, yet he gave me such an important task.
If I don't take the initiative to follow up on the progress, how will your chess game end? You should be happy to meet such a considerate subordinate like me, right? "
Zhou Qi twirled the pen and chuckled, "It's really a treasure. How are the project documents prepared?"
The agreement document he had previously commissioned involved the layout of the entire business empire, and the implicit regulatory terms therein were the highlight.
As the various partners gradually become clear about the plan, an important meeting will be held tomorrow. Although Qiao Qingying does not need to participate in the preliminary negotiations, she will still be in charge of the final signing process.
"Everything is prepared as you requested."
Qiao Qingying suddenly changed the subject: "But..."
She deliberately dragged out the last word, drawing circles on the table with her fingertips: "Do you really want me to go to Guang Province to attend the meeting?"
Zhou Qi closed his laptop and said, "In addition to finalizing the existing projects, we also plan to have all parties discuss the market expansion plan for Hong Kong City."
“The home appliance business is going to enter Hong Kong Island?”
Qiao Qingying raised her eyebrows: "Isn't this move a bit hasty?"
She suddenly leaned forward, her hair brushing across the contract cover: "Mr. Zhou, do you think he has other intentions?"
"What do you think I can achieve?" Zhou Qi asked back with a smile.
"Your thoughts are all twisted and turned..."
Qiao Qingying took out a pen and marked the agreement: "I know it very well. Let's make it clear in advance that some of your plans will never work with me."
"So are you coming or not?"
"Go! Why not?"
Qiao Qingying slammed the file shut. "It's a good opportunity to see with my own eyes what kind of business magic our 'gentleman' Mr. Zhou is going to perform this time."
She stood up and adjusted the hem of her suit: "But if I find out that you have evil intentions..."
She gestured with her jade finger at her neck: "Be careful or I'll ruin your show."
At 9:00 a.m. the next day, the municipal conference hall was packed.
Bai Qinghong and Gao Qingliang have already taken their seats with their team. There are a few unfamiliar faces among their entourage - they are the representatives of affiliated companies secretly controlled by the Bai family.
The city leader flipped through the three piles of documents in front of him, his sharp eyes flashing behind his glasses.
The clock pointed to nine o'clock, and dazzling sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the city government conference hall.
As Du Bowen lowered his eyes and flipped through the documents, he caught a glimpse of the main listing leader adjusting his tie for the third time.
The dark-patterned tie was pulled slightly askew by him, like a rope tightening around his neck.
