Chapter 859: Chapter 0859: Because You’re Dirty

Wang Na kept testing Ye Qiu, trying to figure out whether this seemingly ordinary young man was after money or women.

If it was both, that would be easy to solve. Even if it was just money or just women, Wang Na thought it wouldn’t be hard either—because she and Qingcheng Group had plenty of both.

Just then, the restaurant’s waiters brought over the dishes Wang Na had ordered earlier.

"Mr. Ye, let’s eat first. We can talk after the meal!"

As Ye Qiu and Wang Na sat eating, this mature and seductive woman kept stealing glances at him.

Ye Qiu had already guessed what she wanted from him, but he wasn’t in any hurry. He wanted to see what the secretary sent by Wei Guomin had up her sleeve.

After nearly an hour and a half, they had both eaten their fill.

When Ye Qiu checked the time, it was already 8 p.m.

"Mr. Ye, how about we go out for a few drinks?"

"We just finished eating,"

Ye Qiu said.

"Then let’s just go for coffee. I have something to discuss with you!"

When Wang Na called the waiter to settle the bill, she kept the receipt; she’d need to have the company reimburse her later.

Outside, they got into Wang Na’s red Mazda, and Ye Qiu found himself being driven toward the Qinhuai River.

The Qinhuai River area, lively at night, was home to bars, cafés, and bubble tea shops. Last time, Ye Qiu had been here with Liu Lingxiu.

They arrived outside an upscale café, and both got out of the car.

Inside, having found a seat, Wang Na called over a waitress dressed as a maid.

"What can I get for you, sir and madam?"

"Coffee,"

Wang Na said.

"Same for me."

"Two lattes, then."

After the waitress left, Ye Qiu glanced outside and said, "Secretary Wang, if you brought me here for a reason, you might as well get to the point."

"It’s like this—Qingcheng Group’s CEO, my boss Wei, would like you to design an autumn lingerie collection for us,"

Wang Na said directly.

She figured that Ye Qiu, being quite sharp, likely already knew why she had come to him.

"A design collection?"

Ye Qiu chuckled internally.

He had long guessed this.

"Exactly. I think there might have been some misunderstandings between our company and yourself in the past, but that shouldn’t stand in the way of us working together. Name your price, Mr. Ye. As long as it’s within reason, we’ll agree."

Wei Guomin had authorized an upper limit of one hundred million yuan, so Wang Na figured Ye Qiu would ask for a few million—well within her allowance.

That’d be more than enough!

"Money? As I’ve mentioned, I don’t really need money right now,"

Ye Qiu replied.

"Who would ever complain about having too much money?"

Glancing at Ye Qiu’s rather plain attire, Wang Na doubted he lacked for a few million yuan. But to suggest he was truly wealthy? She wasn’t convinced.

"Five million!"

Wang Na said directly.

Ye Qiu merely sneered.

He didn’t say a word.

"Twenty million!"

Seeing Ye Qiu unmoved, she raised the offer.

But to Wang Na’s dismay, Ye Qiu still didn’t seem tempted.

If Ye Qiu truly wasn’t interested, then why had he come out to dine with her in the first place? In Wang Na’s view, everyone had their price. As long as the offer was high enough, no one could refuse.

She couldn’t believe that even with such a generous offer, Ye Qiu still wouldn’t yield.

Noticing Ye Qiu’s calm expression, Wang Na asked, "Mr. Ye, just name your price!"

"This isn’t about money."

Given his relationship with Shen Yueru, how could he possibly help Qingcheng Group?

Besides, with the plans he was already setting in motion for Xingyue Group to counter Qingcheng Group, there was even less of a possibility.

"One hundred million. That’s my highest offer. Just create one autumn lingerie collection for Qingcheng Group, and the money will be in your account tomorrow!"

One hundred million?

That was a lot. If this had been in the past, Ye Qiu might very well have accepted.

But now, he didn’t need it at all.

He wasn’t short on money—nor was he lacking ways to make it.

"Secretary Wang, as I’ve said, I don’t need money. No amount will work."

"You!"

It was the first time Wang Na had encountered someone so indifferent to money, and she was genuinely taken aback.

Yet she had already assured Wei Guomin that this mission would be a success. She hadn’t expected Ye Qiu to be completely uninterested in the money she’d offered.

"Then what about me?"

Wang Na licked her lips and looked at Ye Qiu.

A woman like Wang Na, exuding the charm of a mature woman, educated and well-dressed, was undoubtedly irresistible to many men.

"What do you mean?"

Ye Qiu feigned ignorance.

"If you agree, I’ll spend tonight with you,"

she whispered, her cheeks seeming to flush.

Ye Qiu chuckled, but his smile was tinged with disdain.

He hadn’t expected Wei Guomin to resort to sending a seductress to entice him after failing with money.

And so generously too—it only underscored how desperate Qingcheng Group’s internal situation had become.

Six months?

Ye Qiu doubted it would take even six months for him to bring down both Wei Guomin and Qingcheng Group.

But no, he wanted to ensure they couldn’t ever rise again.

As Wang Na stood up and moved closer, her Chanel No. 5 perfume wafting toward him, Ye Qiu said, "Secretary Wang, you may look good, but you’re not my type."

"Why not?"

Wang Na, utterly shameless, asked directly.

"Because you’re filthy. I wouldn’t touch a woman like you,"

Ye Qiu said icily.

There was no need for him to stay any longer.

Initially, he hadn’t been sure about Qingcheng Group’s internal situation and had considered sending Liu Xueying to infiltrate and gather intel.

But now, with Wei Guomin stooping to such tactics, Ye Qiu could already piece things together.

As he spoke, Wang Na stood there frozen, as if chilled to the bone, staring blankly as Ye Qiu got up and left.

Outside, Ye Qiu naturally had no intention of getting back into Wang Na’s car.

However, just as Ye Qiu had walked only a couple of steps, a black BMW pulled up beside him.

At first, he wondered who it could be, but when the window rolled down, he saw the stunning widow, Xia Jing, in the driver’s seat.

Xia Jing had just finished a business meeting at the café and hadn’t expected to run into Ye Qiu as she was driving off.

Previously, on several occasions, she had greeted Ye Qiu, but he had ignored her.

Xia Jing couldn’t understand why. Was it her ill reputation? Or something else?

"Doctor Ye, need a lift?"

As Ye Qiu hesitated, Xia Jing added, "I was hoping you could check on me again."
