Chapter 91

Xiang Wanqing laughed out loud: "If I say you're silly, you really are. Do you think he helped you just to make you his mistress?"

"What else could he want?" Bai Yunduo raised her head.

"He's never been a simple person," Xiang Wanqing glanced at Chu Tianshu and said, "I think he's probably up to no good again."

Chu Tianshu smiled but said nothing.

Bai Yunduo pounced over, grabbed Chu Tianshu's arm, and shook it, saying, "You bad guy, quickly confess, what are you up to?"

Chu Tianshu naturally didn't dare to tell them his true thoughts, only laughed and said nothing.

Bai Yunduo threw a tantrum, flinging her arm and shouting, "Old Chu, I don't care anymore, you deal with it yourself."

Chu Tianshu waved his hand and said loudly, "If it's a blessing, it won't be a disaster; if it's a disaster, it can't be avoided. Little Dodo, let's do it!"

Bai Yunduo cheered, ran over, and hugged Chu Tianshu, shouting, "Okay, let's do it!"

Xiang Wanqing loudly protested, "Hey, you two are so eager to do it, but you can't ignore my existence, can you?"

Bai Yunduo jumped over, scolding and trying to hit Xiang Wanqing, "Wife, you can be jealous, but don't be so vulgar, okay?"

Xiang Wanqing dodged Bai Yunduo's attack and said, "Yunduo, you two are shameless enough, and now you're accusing me of being vulgar. That's too unfair."

Bai Yunduo said, "How are we shameless? What are you thinking?"

"What did you just shout? 'Let's do it,' what do you think I could think?"

"What? 'Let's do it!'"

Xiang Wanqing smiled but said nothing.

Bai Yunduo suddenly realized, glanced at Chu Tianshu, blushed, and said loudly, "Wife, don't worry, I said I'll only be his mistress, you can be his main wife."

Xiang Wanqing pouted and said, "Hmph, forget it, he's already promised the main wife position to someone else."

"Is that true?" Bai Yunduo glared at Chu Tianshu.

Chu Tianshu laughed.

Bai Yunduo wouldn't let it go, "Well, you have that sly smile, definitely up to no good. Confess, who did you promise?"

"Cough, cough," Chu Tianshu coughed, put on a serious face, and said, "Comrade Bai Yunduo, you need to be proper. As a mistress, how can you meddle in the main wife's affairs?"

Bai Yunduo was speechless, and Xiang Wanqing was silent.

In the following days, Chu Tianshu was busy with the instrument factory reform during the day and rushed to the Yunqing Club after work to study medical equipment knowledge with Bai Yunduo.

Their initial roles were set: Chu Tianshu as a medical equipment procurement intermediary, and Bai Yunduo as his secretary.

Although Xiang Wanqing disagreed with their risky plan, she, with a journalist's sensitivity, helped them collect a lot of news cases about medical equipment sales and occasionally acted as an examiner to test their默契 as boss and secretary.

One day after work, Chu Tianshu was about to leave when his phone rang. It was Wei Shijie: "Damn! You only think of me when you have no girls to chase, right?"

"Old Chu, I swear. I admit, I didn't think of you when I was chasing a girl, but as soon as I was done, I immediately thought of you, Old Chu, who is still thirsty. At that moment, I felt so selfish, thinking this girl should be introduced to you, but I ended up with her myself."

"Spit! I know you can't say anything decent." Chu Tianshu laughed and scolded, "Old Wei, get to the point, I'm busy."

"Hey, you're already a director, can you have some leadership qualities?" Wei Shijie said with a grin, "Now that you've been promoted, aren't you going to treat us to a meal?"

"I knew it, you only find me for bad things." Chu Tingshu said irritably, "I've been busy these days, another day."

"Okay, okay, not another day, who's going to do what with whom?" Wei Shijie, the damn guy, always managed to steer the conversation to his favorite topic of men and women.

"Damn! Can you do anything besides that? If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

"Wait!" Wei Shijie turned serious, "Old Chu, did you bully Ning Xin?"

Mentioning Ning Xin seriously, Chu Tianshu had to take it seriously.

"No, I wouldn't dare," Chu Tianshu quickly denied.

"Really? I just talked to her, and she got upset as soon as I mentioned you."

"Is that so? I went to see her a few days ago, and we had a good time."

Wei Shijie scolded, "Good time my ass! Did you talk nonsense when you drank with her at night?"

Chu Tianshu said委屈地, "She insisted I drink with her. I got drunk because I couldn't keep up with her, and I don't remember what I said."

"Hmph, Old Chu, you're just pretending." Wei Shijie said angrily, "Then tell me, what's up with Little Dodo?"

"Oh, a friend," Chu Tianshu felt he wasn't being honest enough and added, "A female friend, not the kind you think."

"Hehe, covering your ears while stealing a bell, admitting it without being asked." Wei Shijie sneered, "Old Chu, I warn you, if the princess is angry, the consequences are severe!"

"I know, look at Ma Li and the others, they'd eat me alive if the princess ordered it." Chu Tianshu said, "Old Wei, can you help me explain?"

"No problem, but..." Wei Shijie deliberately drew out his words.

Chu Tianshu immediately offered, "I'll treat you to a meal."

Wei Shijie teased, "Hey, you said you were busy, how do you have time now?"

Chu Tianshu smiled, "Hehe, didn't you say time is like a woman's cleavage, squeeze it and you'll find it."

"Haha, little guy, I don't believe I can't handle you." Wei Shijie laughed, then said, "Old Chu, we're buddies, I'll treat you, but I have a condition, bring that Little Dodo."

"This... isn't necessary, right?" To be honest, Chu Tianshu really didn't want to bring Bai Yunduo to eat with Wei Shijie, who was a lecher.

"Old Chu, you just said she's a regular girlfriend, why are you nervous? I tell you, this is the princess's order. If you don't bring her, the meal is optional."

"Okay," Chu Tianshu reluctantly agreed.

Wei Shijie was delighted and immediately said the time and place, "6:30 PM, Rose Hall at the International Hotel, no excuses."

Chu Tianshu went to Yunqing Beauty and told Bai Yunduo about the dinner. She was initially reluctant, saying the time was tight and they needed to review their lessons. Chu Tianshu said that in the future, they would have to eat and drink with Yuan Jiong from Kangertai, so this would be a practical exercise.

Bai Yunduo happily agreed and dressed up carefully before leaving, even calling Xiang Wanqing. Then she followed Chu Tianshu to the International Hotel.

Bai Yunduo wore a tight V-neck white shirt and a fitted wool suit jacket, her neck as white as snow, her chest high, her waist slender, and her hips curvy. When she bent down to put on her high heels, a glimpse of her cleavage was visible, evoking endless imagination. She wore a knee-length bohemian skirt with a wide Tibetan-patterned belt, and her already long legs looked even more elegant in the sheer stockings.

The International Hotel was a five-star hotel in Qingyuan City, and the women who entered were either rich or noble, all dressed up beautifully, and the competition for beauty was intense. However, when Chu Tianshu and Bai Yunduo walked through the lobby, they immediately attracted many admiring glances.

One middle-aged man with a potbelly, after his gaze swept over Bai Yunduo, kept turning back to look. His companion, a beautiful woman, finally couldn't stand it and, regardless of the public setting, pulled his ear to force his gaze back.

Bai Yunduo saw this and covered her mouth to laugh.

The Rose Hall was the most exquisite private room in the restaurant.

When they were led in by the hostess, Chu Tianshu found that not only Wei Shijie was waiting, but also a man in his forties, dressed neatly and initially appearing graceful and mature.

"Here you are, Old Chu," Wei Shijie greeted warmly, his gaze lingering on Bai Yunduo for a moment before introducing, "Mr. Qin, this is my classmate, Chu Tianshu, the director of the city SASAC office."

Chu Tianshu felt a twinge of displeasure but, for the sake of politeness, extended his hand, "Hello, Chu Tianshu."

"Long admired, long admired. Qin Lifeng from the city investment company." The man shook Chu Tianshu's hand and handed him a business card.

Qin Lifeng, vice president of the Qingyuan City Investment Company.

The city investment company was a state-owned company but not under the SASAC, directly under the city development and reform commission, with an administrative level of director. The legal representative was Deputy Mayor Tang Yifu. As vice president, Qin Lifeng was at the deputy director level, so he had every reason to look down on Chu Tianshu, who was only a deputy section chief.

When Qin Lifeng saw Bai Yunduo standing behind Chu Tianshu, he clearly paused, then extended his hand to her, smiling, "Hello, I'm Qin Lifeng, nice to meet you."

"Mr. Qin, hello, I'm Bai Yunduo," Bai Yunduo smiled and shook his hand.

To his surprise, the man took advantage of the situation, ignoring Chu Tianshu, and pulled Bai Yunduo's hand, pouring tea and offering a seat, being particularly enthusiastic.

Wei Shijie quickly pulled Chu Tianshu to sit on another sofa and explained in a low voice, "Sorry, we ran into Mr. Qin on the way. He heard you're in charge of the instrument factory project and hopes to be friends with you."

Chu Tianshu only smiled coldly, thinking: What does the instrument factory project have to do with your city investment company?
