Chapter 354: Future Plan 4

"You agreed to his offer?" Leng Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, almost fainting on the spot. After all that talk, it turned out her startup capital was going to be obtained by selling her body. If Zhao Xiaotian found out, who knows what kind of fit he’d throw?

Zhao Xiaoqing shook her head and said, "Not yet, but... you know how realistic society is. Although I don’t like him, he can offer me a life of luxury and wealth. I don’t want to spend my life as some lowly clerk in a store, earning a salary that can’t even sustain me."

As she spoke, Zhao Xiaoqing glanced at Leng Xuan, pursed her lips in resignation, and asked, "Will you look down on me?"

Although Zhao Xiaoqing was quite materialistic, Leng Xuan wasn’t someone unfamiliar with the ways of the world. On the contrary, he’d been on all sorts of missions and met all kinds of people and was fully aware of how materialistic society could be. After all, how many truly idealistic people are out there?

So, to say he looked down on Zhao Xiaoqing, he really didn’t. He was just somewhat speechless, especially since she was Zhao Xiaotian’s sister.

Seeing that Leng Xuan wasn’t speaking, Zhao Xiaoqing thought that he really did disdain her. She pouted and said, "If you really don’t want to partner with me, then I won’t force you."

Leng Xuan shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "It’s not that. But as for the money, I’ll figure something out."

Zhao Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then asked with some skepticism, "You’ll figure something out? Do you have any idea how much it takes to open a leisure center? Even a modest place in a decent location would cost at least a million, and that’s just the small scale in mind."

Leng Xuan had never been one to make empty promises. Although the task at hand was challenging, it wasn’t utterly hopeless. He knew that if he were willing to ask Old Master Ling for the million, it probably wouldn’t be a problem. However, he didn’t want to ask the old man for help unless it was absolutely necessary, as he wanted to succeed on his own. With confidence, he flashed Zhao Xiaoqing a reassuring smile and said, "Don’t worry, leave it to me."

Seeing Leng Xuan with such confidence, Zhao Xiaoqing started to believe him, but she quickly thought of another issue: the technology taught by Leng Xuan, and the funding provided by him—how would they handle the division of shares? She hesitated once more.

Reading the hesitation on her face, Leng Xuan gave a laugh and said, "Don’t worry, shares will remain the same, but as for running the business, that’s your responsibility. One, I don’t have the time, and two, I don’t really know much about these things."

Zhao Xiaoqing’s eyes widened as she looked at Leng Xuan as if he were some kind of freak, asking, "Leng Xuan, are you... you’re not joking, are you?"

Leng Xuan said, "Heh, why, don’t you want to?"

Such a windfall was not something Zhao Xiaoqing could turn down—if she did, it would mean she was out of her mind. Seeing that Leng Xuan’s expression was serious and not joking, she immediately beamed with joy. Overwhelmed with excitement, she couldn’t help herself and got up to give Leng Xuan a peck on the cheek, giggling, "This is your promise, oh, and no take-backs!"

Leng Xuan wiped his brow, involuntarily reaching to touch the spot Zhao Xiaoqing had kissed, and shook his head, saying, "Alright, I won’t go back on my word, okay? Hehe, it’s getting late, I should get going."

Zhao Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Sure, I’ll walk you out."

Leng Xuan didn’t say anything more, letting her accompany him downstairs. Before long, he hailed a taxi and headed back to Imperial Scenery Garden.
