Zhou Qi finished reviewing the design plan in less than half an hour. Wei Jianhua watched from the side, secretly astonished. Although the plan was good, there should be many points for Zhou Qi to critique. Yet, he didn’t say a word. This was clearly unusual.
Wei Jianhua finally understood why Zhou Qi had brought Xu Jing to the company. It turned out that this guy wanted to take advantage of the situation. Wei Jianhua cleared his throat and said, “ Manager Zhou, this plan is quite good; there’s nothing that needs modification.”
Zhou Qi replied, “Mm.”
Wei Jianhua continued, “What about the pricing? Is there any issue?”
Zhou Qi answered, “No problem.”
Wei Jianhua was speechless. He could hardly believe his ears. It was known that Zhou Qi was a shrewd businessman; he would usually cut the price by at least half every time. But today, he agreed without even looking at it?
Wei Jianhua suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Zhou Qiang. If Zhou Qiang were here, he would probably be so furious he’d spit blood.
Xu Jing learned that Zhou Qi had not made any comments on her plan or negotiated the price, and she did not feel happy about it. On the contrary, she was very angry. She went straight to find Zhou Qi.
“Are you doing this on purpose?”
Zhou Qi looked confused and replied, “What do you mean?”
Xu Jing asked, “Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?”
Zhou Qi quickly raised his hands in surrender and said, “How could I dare?”
He walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I swear, I absolutely didn't."
Xu Jing snorted coldly, too lazy to waste words with him, and turned to leave.
Zhou Qi hurriedly caught up. "Hey, don't be angry."
Xu Jing replied, "I'm not angry."
Zhou Qi asked, "Then why are you being so cold to me?"
Xu Jing said, "What do you think our relationship is?"
Zhou Qi was silent.
Xu Jing continued, "Don't you think our relationship is twisted?"
Zhou Qi remained silent.
Xu Jing stated, "I don't want to date you."
Zhou Qi was speechless.
Xu Jing added, "We're just having an affair."
Zhou Qi had no response.
Xu Jing said, "So you don't need to chase after me, and I don't need you to chase me."
Zhou Qi stayed quiet.
Xu Jing remarked, "There's only a bed between us."
Zhou Qi was still silent.
Suddenly, Zhou Qi felt a bit regretful. If he had known it would turn out this way, he wouldn't have pretended. What he wanted wasn't just a woman who would sleep with him. He wanted a woman who could break his heart and also make him happy.
...
Zhou Qi no longer pursued a romantic relationship with Xu Jing. He went straight to bed with her. He wanted to make her yield in this way. But Xu Jing wasn't buying it. She was even tougher than he was.
That day, he prepared a feast and brought flowers. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Jing said, "I'm going to take a shower. Do you want to join me?" Zhou Qi remained silent. That night, Zhou Qi almost killed her. He hated his own helplessness. Why couldn't he make her submit? Why couldn't he make her cry? He wanted to hear her sobs and see her tears. He wanted to witness her going crazy for him. But he had no chance. Xu Jing was like a silent mountain; no matter how much he stirred things up, she would not make a sound. She was like an emotionless machine, never tiring or weary. But she was not a machine. She was human.
Then one night, at the peak of their intimacy, she fell from the floor-to-ceiling window. With a loud thud, she crashed heavily onto the floor.
When Xu Jing woke up, she found herself lying in a hospital bed. Zhou Qi sat by her side, looking at her with a face full of concern. Xu Jing's face was pale, and she ignored him. She remembered falling from the floor-to-ceiling window last night. Zhou Qi had embraced her as she fell. She had lost consciousness from exhaustion.
