Chapter 231: 234 Qin’s First Love_1

Qin Muchuan watched the manager awkwardly leave his office.

He leaned heavily into his leather chair, closing his eyes with utter annoyance.

Damn it, he was fully aware that this matter was not really related to the manager. After all, his father, Qin Gang, was the former CEO’s husband. Who could take him to task for spending company money?

The fact that the manager had come to report it immediately was already commendable!

So why was he so infuriated?

"Woke up on the wrong side of the bed? You’ve been snapping at everyone since early morning!" Su Yueze sauntered into Qin Muchuan’s office.

The guilty-looking Qin Muchuan frowned deeply. From his boss’s chair, he lowered his voice to reprimand, "Ever heard of common courtesy when entering someone else’s office? Shouldn’t you have asked for permission first?"

That said, Su Yueze was unaffected by his anger at all. "If I knocked, would you have refused to let me in?"

If this big CEO refused to let him in, would he really have complied obediently and not entered anyway?

"Whether you come in or not, obviously depends on my mood!" retorted Qin Muchuan, his face dark.

"Well..." Su Yueze swaggered into the sofa, a particularly sharp retort on his lips. "Muchuan, we grew up together. I might not have shared the same pants with you, but I did wear your hand-me-downs! Even your used diapers, my mom collected them for me to use. You and I have never had secrets. You brought me with you when you bathed in the river as a kid. I’ve seen you naked! What secrets could you possibly have from me? Even if you were in this office having sex with a woman, it wouldn’t matter to me!"

"I don’t share your sense of humor!" Qin Muchuan frowned deeply. Su Yueze had a notorious reputation for his extracurricular activities. Whether it was engaging in threesomes or sharing a woman with Qiao Junnan, he always frowned upon such activities!

"Cough cough..." Su Yueze chuckled. "Come on, brother, can you make a less disgusted face? It’s like you ate a fly."

Qin Muchuan glared at him. "And you know this?"

"Ha ha..." Su Yueze started laughing.

Then, his expression quickly turned serious, a rare occurrence. "Brother...honestly, can’t you help Wanwan out?"

"No!" Qin Muchuan was emphatic. "If Ji Sen is really innocent, then there will be no evidence of him committing any crime. The laws of the country are there for a reason and should be respected!"

"But Ji Sen might be wrongly accused, and he’s Wanwan’s brother..."

"That’s all the more reason to be stricter. Laws should be respected!"

"Don’t be so dogmatic all the time, brother."

"It’s not about being dogmatic, it’s about principles!"

"Pitiful principles!" Su Yueze shook his head.

Even though Qin Muchuan had been a businessman for five years and learned plenty about human emotions, he was still a soldier at heart. For example, he was particularly sensitive when it came to matters of drugs.

"..." Qin Muchuan did not respond. But he did not agree with Su Yueze’s comment.

"But you should know that if you persist in this, Wanwan will be heartbroken..." Su Yueze pointed out.

"When dealing with drugs, not a single offender can be spared. No one selling drugs should escape legal punishment!" Qin Muchuan remained adamant.

"But Ji Sen may not necessarily be peddling drugs!"

"That’s why someone should investigate it, right?" Qin Muchuan countered.

His remark left Su Yueze frowning hard. Damn it, it was impossible to have a clear discussion about this. It was the classic chicken-or-the-egg scenario with no clear resolution!

Just then, Qin Muchuan’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, a momentary distraction twanged Qin Muchuan’s heartstrings. "Hello?"

He gave Su Yueze a glance and then turned to the door, motioning him to leave.

In his usual manner, Su Yueze nonchalantly sat in the sofa, evidently not intending to go.

Seeing that there was nothing he could say to Su Yueze, Qin Muchuan had to answer the call in front of him.

"Muchuan, what’s wrong? You sound upset!" Zhou Ziqing’s gentle voice inquired, permeating with warmth even in her breaths.

"Nothing!"

"Really? Every time you deny it so quickly, it means you are actually upset!" Zhou Ziqing spoke with a tone of familiarity.

Qin Muchuan shut his eyes tightly, reopening them a moment later with newfound vigor. "Did you call to ask about your boyfriend’s software design?"

"Yes!" Zhou Ziqing replied timidly. "How...how is it?"

"Hmm...It’s not bad!" Qin Muchuan admitted.

"Really? Can you invest in its development?" Zhou Ziqing asked enthusiastically.

"..." When Qin Muchuan heard her anticipative voice, he was momentarily at a loss for words. "...If I can invest, would your boyfriend be pleased?"

"Of course! He needs investment. If he gets it, he would definitely do very well!"

"...I have only seen the software. It has not been presented to the board yet. I can’t say whether we can invest yet!"

"Oh..." Zhou Ziqing’s high spirits deflated instantly.

"Are you upset?"

"No, I understand that you have your principles. Everything should be done according to proper procedures!" Zhou Ziqing replied understandingly.

"Hmm!"

"Can you present it to the board for discussion?" she asked softly.

"Hmm... okay!"

"Thank you!"

"Why are you handling everything? Where is your boyfriend?" Qin Muchuan inquired.

"Hehe..." Zhou Ziqing laughed softly. "I’m sorry, my boyfriend isn’t like you. You served in the military, underwent rigorous training, and are now a corporate leader experienced in the business world. He’s a simple tech guy. He can take on any task, handle any kind of data, but don’t ask him to communicate with strangers. That’s a weak area for him. So he let me handle all the discussions with you!"

"Understood!" Qin Muchuan nodded. There were many such men in the IT industry!

"Thank you! Call me if you have any questions!"

Suddenly, series of honking noises and a cacophony of voices were audible over the phone.

Qin Muchuan instantly furrowed his brows. "Ziqing, where are you?"

"I... I’m obviously in the USA!"

"Then why do I hear Chinese being spoken around you?" Qin Muchuan questioned dubiously.

"I’m in Chinatown!"
