Chapter 497: Chapter 495: Date
Seeing the meeting room become silent, Qin Hao felt awkward.
What a joke, dude only came to visit your company, how did I unknowingly become the protagonist?
"Ahem..."
To break the ice, Qin Hao cleared his throat and said, "Qiao Jiaying, this Yu Group is my friend’s company, you must endorse it well..."
This was awkward small talk, but Qiao Jiaying nodded seriously, "Since it’s Qin Hao’s friend, I will definitely do my best in this cooperation!"
"By the way, Qin Hao, are you free tonight? Can we have dinner and chat?"
Being asked out by the goddess, Qin Hao wasn’t really happy, he still had a bunch of things to deal with. Visiting the Yu Group was just a way to relax after his Inner Strength breakthrough.
The Black Spade K issue wasn’t settled yet, if he kept dithering with the girls, wouldn’t Yu Han, who was waiting for an antidote, suffer?
"I’m actually quite busy..."
Left with no choice, Qin Hao said tactfully.
"Is that so..."
Qiao Jiaying looked very disappointed, this was her first time being rejected after inviting someone out.
At that moment, Yu Xiangru, who had been dazed, suddenly snapped back to reality, raised her voice and rushed over, "Are you kidding! Qin Hao, Sister Jiaying is asking you out, what are you doing!"
So excited, Yu Xiangru clung tightly to Qin Hao’s sleeve, almost shaking him senseless.
Isn’t this too much?
Qin Hao didn’t expect Yu Xiangru to react so intensely, looking at the somewhat frantic Yu Xiangru, then at the disappointed Qiao Jiaying, he sighed internally: Fine, let’s put things on hold for now.
So he said, "Xiangru, calm down, I’ll free up some time tonight to have dinner with Jiaying."
"Great!"
The two women exclaimed in unison. Qiao Jiaying was pleased because she could meet the person she wanted to, while Yu Xiangru was happy for accomplishing something good for her idol.
However, soon, Yu Xiangru felt a strange bitterness in her heart. Seeing Sister Jiaying happy was nice, but wasn’t she giving Qin Hao away?
She couldn’t help feeling a bit of regret in her heart.
The little drama involving two women and a man was nearing its end, and the shareholders in the meeting room were all stunned into numbness.
At the same time, they were extremely curious about Qin Hao’s identity.
Even a big star inviting him out didn’t interest him, what kind of person was this young man?
"Xiangru, why don’t you introduce your friend to us?"
At this point, the middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table couldn’t help but speak up. He was the chairman of the Yu Group and Yu Xiangru’s father, Yu Zhenhai.
"Dad, he’s the Qin Hao I’ve told you about."
Yu Xiangru introduced Qin Hao to Yu Zhenhai with a somewhat gloomy demeanor.
"So this is the Qin Hao who saved my daughter, I, Yu Mouren, thank you for your life-saving grace last time."
Yu Zhenhai was clearly a clever person. He noticed Qin Hao’s extraordinary identity, stood up without hesitation, and began to bow.
"You’re welcome, you’re welcome."
Qin Hao responded perfunctorily, fearing dealing with these old foxes in social pleasantries. Seeing the atmosphere wasn’t right, he changed the topic, "I just came to see the Yu Group today, I must say, your company is really vibrant and prosperous!"
With that compliment, Qin Hao felt it was about time to leave, so he said to Yu Xiangru and Qiao Jiaying, "See you tonight, by the way, Xiangru, my health isn’t great, so I’m going home to rest now!"
Saying that, he turned and left without waiting for a reply, disappearing into the elevator in just a few steps.
"Hey, wait!"
Yu Xiangru didn’t expect Qin Hao to leave so decisively, calling out and following, but the elevator door had already closed, leaving her to stomp her feet in frustration.
Turning to see Qiao Jiaying with an elegant smile, knowing she must be looking forward to the evening date with Qin Hao.
Yu Xiangru felt even more unbalanced inside.
Afternoon.
Qin Hao didn’t waste time, returning to the Yu Family Villa to consolidate his Inner Strength.
Martial arts aren’t achieved overnight; the key is in balancing work and rest.
After visiting the Yu Group, he had rested enough, and the important cultivation couldn’t be delayed.
Having just made a breakthrough, Qin Hao had an overwhelming amount of Inner Strength, creating a dilemma where his energy couldn’t be released.
To calm the excessive energy, he spent the whole afternoon controlling his Inner Strength. Eventually, the restless power was fully soothed, advancing his strength a bit.
Night arrived promptly, and Qin Hao went to the western restaurant where he had arranged to meet Qiao Jiaying.
Unlike the daytime, Qiao Jiaying had put on makeup for the evening, light foundation making her facial features flawless. A slim waist, long legs, dressed in a black cocktail dress, perfectly showcasing her golden figure. Delicate collarbones, a firm chin, cherry lips, sitting by the window, her profile was a beautiful portrait of a lady.
As soon as he entered the western restaurant, Qin Hao spotted the most stunning scenery from among the crowd.
Walking over, sitting down, Qin Hao gracefully rested his chin on his hand, "You’re sitting by the window looking at the scenery, and those looking at the scenery are watching you."
"Pfft!"
Qiao Jiaying couldn’t help but chuckle, her laughter causing a ripple of excitement, "Didn’t expect, Qin Hao, you have some literary talent."
"What else, do you think I’m just a martial artist who only fights?"
Qin Hao winked, not forgetting to boast, "Last time we parted hastily, I only showed a ten-thousandth of my true talent. Not to brag, but in music, chess, calligraphy, eating, drinking, womanizing, and gambling, I could reach the peak of each if I wished!"
"Haha, seeing you’re just as optimistic as before, Qin Hao, puts my mind at ease."
After another bell-like laugh, Qiao Jiaying’s face suddenly showed a dreamy look, "Ads, movies, music, endorsements... for me, life is a monotonous line. If I hadn’t met you last time, I wouldn’t have known how dull my life would be."
"Qin Hao, meeting you last time added so many different colors to my life. Thank you for agreeing to have dinner with me, it feels so good."
"Didn’t expect you, the big star, to be a literary youth too."
Qin Hao sighed, a mischievous smile appearing on his face, "But aren’t you a bit too easily satisfied? Just a meal is enough? Not curious to try something else?"
"Something else, what do you mean?"
Qiao Jiaying’s curiosity was piqued, widening her eyes and asking with confusion.
