Yu Tian wiped the sweat off his forehead. He was speechless. After the two men calmed down, he said in a stern voice, a�?We should talk about the project in detail. What I\'ve mentioned earlier was only a rough idea. a�?
With that, Li Shancheng and Situ Kun participated in the discussion with utmost seriousness.
Yu Tian was an efficient type of person. He would focus once his mind was made up. The meeting continued until late noon.
They were distracted when someone knocked on the door.
Shancheng quickly walked over and opened it.
The person behind the door was none other than Chu Qing!
a�?Presidenta�| President Chua�|a�?
The man greeted her with a quivering voice. His mind had gone blank.
He had seen the woman before, so he was not stunned into silence by her beauty. Instead, it was her domineering presence.
Chu Qing shifted her attention from Shancheng to Kun. After making sure that there was no other woman in the office, she turned to look at Yu Tian with a softened gaze.
a�?Elder sister Qing, what brings you here?a�? said Yu Tian.
Chu Qing hurried towards the young man.
a�?Old Xu told me that you\'ve been occupied, so I decided to drop by for a visit.a�?
In reality, she was there to monitor the relationship between her younger brother and his secretary.
She was relieved to see that there were only men in Yu Tian\'s office.
a�?Surely, there was nothing fishing going on among them, right?
a�?I have faith in Yu Tian\'s sexuality!\'
a�?I\'m discussing a gaming project with Chairman Li and his friend.a�?
Yu Tian replied with a smile.
a�?The meeting is still going on even though it\'s so late in the afternoon?a�? said Chu Qing while giving Shancheng a subtle glare.
a�?Cough.\'
a�?President Chu is right. It\'s time for lunch. We\'ll take our leave now. President Yu, we can continue the discussion next time.a�?
Then, Shancheng turned to the woman and added, a�?President Chu, see you again.a�?
a�?See ya,a�? she replied flatly.
Shancheng quickly dragged Kun out of the office. He could still feel Chu Qing\'s domineering and oppressive presence even when he had gotten into his car. Nonetheless, they had a peek of the woman\'s feminine side. At the very least, she acted completely differently around Yu Tian!
a�?Let\'s go and get some food,a�? said Chu Qing to Yu Tian.
a�?Sure.a�?
The young man rose to his feet and followed the woman to the parking lot.
Unexpectedly, Chu Rou and Chu Xin were there too.
a�?Yu Tian, my marvelous younger brother.a�?
They greeted him enthusiastically and both of them gave him a hug.
Yu Tian coughed unnaturally.
a�?Shall we go for lunch together?a�?
a�?No,a�? Chu Xin replied in a determined voice.
a�?The two of you will go for lunch without us. Chu Qing will drop us off at the house later, a�? said Chu Rou.
a�?Huh?a�?
Yu Tian had a perplexed expression on his face. His elder sisters had their respective chauffeurs, but they wanted Chu Qing to take them home.
Something fishy was definitely going on!
a�?Let\'s talk in the car.a�?
Chu Qing glanced at her watch and quickly opened the car\'s door.
They got into the car and headed for Haitian Restaurant together.
Yu Tian finally understood their intention after getting into the car.
As it turned out, Chu Qing\'s childhood playmate, Ren Jianzhong had recently returned from the army. He had asked her out for dinner.
Ren Jianzhong called it a reunion dinner, but the three women knew that it was clearly an arranged date. It was to evaluate each other as potential marriage partners.
Chu Qing did not think much of it after receiving the invitation. However, since Ren Jianzhong was a person that she had basically grown up with, there were some things that she could not be straightforward about.
Therefore, she sought guidance from her two sisters.
They suggested that Yu Tian could pretend to be her boyfriend as a way to give Jianzhong some hints.
Chu Qing was worried that Yu Tian would not agree to this. Thus, she asked Chu Rou and Chu Xin to convince him together.
As expected, the young man stood no chance against the three women.
Fifteen minutes later, Yu Tian and Chu Qing arrived at the entrance of Haitian Restaurant.
They followed the instructions given by Jianzhong and walked into a reserved room.
Chu Qing was taken aback by what she saw.
Ten strong men who were almost two meters tall were standing in a line.
These muscular men were wearing short sleeves, revealing the scars and wounds on their shoulders and chests.
Yu Tian narrowed his eyes. After his training last night, he was not afraid to go up against these men.
Besides, he was not the same person he used to be!
A man with a crew-cut hairstyle was sitting in the main seat. He looked over his shoulder and was delighted to see Chu Qing.
This man was Ren Jianzhong, Chu Qing\'s childhood playmate!
a�?Chu Qing, you\'re here!a�?
He took a few steps towards the woman and led her to the seat next to his.
Yu Tian followed closely and sat down naturally next to Chu Qing.
Jianzhong slightly frowned.
a�?Chu Qing, your younger brother is acting a bit rude.a�?
He was implying that the young man did not ask for his permission to sit.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qing replied, a�?Jianzhong, Yu Tian isn\'t my younger brother. He\'s my boyfriend.a�?
a�?Boyfriend?a�?
This took Jianzhong by surprise. After looking at the young man from top to bottom, he sneered, a�?Chu Qing, if you\'re trying to give me a hint, you should\'ve found someone more convincing. This young man is so skinny. He\'s rather handsome but what else can he offer? He looks even younger than you. Is he your sugar baby or something?a�?
a�?Ren Jianzhong, watch your mouth,a�? said Chu Qing casually. Each of her words reeked of intimidation.
a�?Is he really your boyfriend?a�?
Jianzhong changed his tone too after realizing that the woman might be serious.
a�?He is my boyfriend,a�? she repeated. a�?I know what\'s on your mind, so I\'m here today to tell you to stop wasting your time. I\'ve only regarded you as my elder brother.a�?
a�?Elder brother?a�?
Ren Jianzhong laughed bitterly before shifting his gaze to the young man who had been quietly staring at him.
a�?What are you glaring at? Get the hell out of here!a�?
Jianzhong shouted.
He could not help but feel defeated by this young man.
Yu Tian was surprised but he replied, a�?You want me to get the hell out of here? After you.a�?
a�?Young man, you\'re courting death!a�?
Jianzhong slammed his fist against the table and sprung to his feet.
He looked down at Yu Tian from above. The anger on his face was apparent.
a�?Yu Tian, we should leave.a�?
Chu Qing was worried that the two men would start fighting.
a�?Chu Qing, stay here. The young man can b*gger off,a�? said Jianzhong.
Yu Tian ignored the man and grabbed the woman\'s hand.
a�?Lil Qing, let\'s go.a�?
He respected his elder sister\'s wish to not get into a fight.
a�?Let her go!a�?
Jianzhong shrieked. He raised an arm in Yu Tian\'s direction and was about to punch him.
The latter punched back instinctively.
a�?Bam!\'
The two fists met. Jianzhong staggered several steps backward, shocking everyone.
a�?How is this young man so strong?a�?
The muscular men at the back seemed confused.
They knew Jianzhong\'s capability. How was he struggling against this frail-looking young man?
Chu Qing could not believe her eyes. Yu Tian seemed different from before.
a�?Young man, I did not expect you to have such strength. Why don\'t we fight? The person who wins can have Chu Qing while the person who loses must give up and leave.a�?
The competitive spirit in Jianzhong was instantly ignited. He was confident that he could triumph over anyone in terms of strength.
A fight?!
The ten muscular men looked excited. They knew that Jianzhong was enraged.
Yu Tian did not stand a chance!
Chu Qing thought so too.
a�?Yu Tian, don\'t take the bait. Let\'s go.a�?
She was well aware that Jianzhong had been practicing martial arts ever since he was young. On the contrary, Yu Tian was just an average man with no fighting experience. Taking on the challenge out of ego would surely mean defeat.
However, Yu Tian patted her on the hand and said, a�?Lil Qing, he won\'t pester you anymore if I win.a�?
Yu Tian eagerly wanted to see the results of his training from last night.
a�?Sure!a�?
Jianzhong\'s eyes sparkled with determination. This was his chance to show off in front of Chu Qing.
a�?Where?a�?
a�?I know someone who runs a boxing studio. Let\'s head over there.a�?
Jianzhong blurted..
