Chapter 159: Going to Ye Zhuzhu's Home

Qin Ze waved his hand:

"Show the guest out."

The waiter hurried over, supported Zhang Zhenguo, and led him out.

Dragged out of the private room, Zhang Zhenguo looked utterly dispirited.

After Zhang Zhenguo left, Liang Bo couldn't help but give a thumbs-up:

"Big Brother, with scum like that, you can't be too saintly."

Sun Dapeng chimed in:

"If we'd let him off today, tomorrow he'd be riding roughshod over us!"

"Damn, where did all that arrogance he showed outside earlier go?"

"If Big Brother hadn't made it out today, our money would have gone down the drain."

The dinner party lasted until past nine o'clock at night.

Everyone ate heartily and drank heartily.

Qin Ze stood at the entrance of the Manor, watching as car after car drove away.

When almost everyone had left, he turned his head and looked at Ye Zhuzhu, who was standing nearby.

"Zhuzhu, let me drive you home."

Ye Zhuzhu looked at him:

"No need, I have a driver."

Qin Ze smiled:

"I know you have a driver."

"But I still want to take you home."

"And chat with you about something along the way."

Ye Zhuzhu looked at him, her eyes flickering for a moment.

She fell silent for a few seconds, then nodded:

"Alright, get in the car."

In the car, Ye Zhuzhu leaned against the seat, gazing at the night scenery outside the window.

Qin Ze sat beside her, also saying nothing.

A faint scent of perfume filled the car.

After driving for about twenty-plus minutes, the car stopped at the entrance of a high-end residential compound.

The compound's gate was tall, with security guards on duty at the entrance.

Through the gate, one could see row upon row of high-rise residential buildings inside the compound.

This was Jiangcheng's famous luxury flat estate.

Star River Bay.

The car drove straight into the underground garage.

Qin Ze followed Ye Zhuzhu out of the car, took the elevator, and arrived at the top floor.

Ye Zhuzhu opened her front door.

Qin Ze walked in and couldn't help but pause in surprise.

This apartment was too large.

The living room was at least over a hundred square meters; through the floor-to-ceiling windows, one could see the entire night view of Jiangcheng.

The decoration was in a modern minimalist style, yet every detail exuded refinement and nobility.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling windows, Qin Ze gazed at the night scenery outside and couldn't help but exclaim:

"This apartment is truly nice."

Ye Zhuzhu took off her coat, hung it on the rack, and walked over to his side:

"What? Want to buy one?"

Qin Ze smiled:

"This unit must cost at least twenty million, right?"

Ye Zhuzhu smiled:

"About that."

"If you like it, you can come often in the future."

Qin Ze turned his head to look at her:

"Are you inviting me?"

Ye Zhuzhu looked at him, a trace of complex emotion in her eyes:

"What? Is that not allowed?"

Qin Ze looked at her and said nothing.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds.

An ambiguous atmosphere permeated the air.

Ye Zhuzhu suddenly turned her head, walked over to the wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of red wine:

"Want to have a drink?"

Qin Ze looked at her:

"Drink again?"

"I already drank quite a lot at the dinner table just now."

Ye Zhuzhu laughed:

"That little bit of wine? It doesn't count."

"Come, have a drink with me."

As she spoke, she opened the wine bottle and poured two half-cups.

She handed one cup to Qin Ze, then raised her own:

"Welcome back safely."

Qin Ze took the cup and clinked it against hers:

"Thank you; you really bailed me out today."

"Consider it fulfilling my earlier promise!"

The two each drank one sip.

Ye Zhuzhu leaned back on the sofa, looking at the night view outside the window:

"Qin Ze, do you know?"

"After I found out you were arrested today!"

"It was the first time I ever felt afraid..."

Qin Ze looked at her:

"Afraid of what?"

Ye Zhuzhu turned her head and looked at him:

"Afraid something would happen to you."

Qin Ze paused for a moment.

Ye Zhuzhu continued:

"I don't know why myself."

"Even though we haven't known each other long, hearing you were arrested made my heart panic terribly."

A trace of emotion stirred within Qin Ze.

He set down his wine cup and looked at Ye Zhuzhu:

"Thank you."

Ye Zhuzhu shook her head:

"No need to thank me."

"I saved you because I wanted to save you."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Qin Ze looked at her, at a loss for words.

What did she mean by "it has nothing to do with you"?

Do all women speak so abstractly?

But Qin Ze knew this woman had developed feelings.

Qin Ze reached out and gently took Ye Zhuzhu's hand.

Ye Zhuzhu's body stiffened slightly.

But she did not pull away.

She looked at Qin Ze, a trace of bewilderment flashing in her eyes.

Qin Ze looked into her eyes and slowly moved closer.

The distance between them grew smaller and smaller.

Qin Ze could smell the faint scent of her perfume and feel the warm breath she exhaled.

And then.

The next morning at dawn.

Qin Ze drowsily opened his eyes.

Qin Ze patted his head!

He had drunk too much last night; he couldn't quite recall exactly what had happened.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains into the room.

Qin Ze rubbed his eyes, sat up, and looked around.

This was a very large master bedroom.

The bed was huge, the quilt very soft.

Ye Zhuzhu had already left.

On the bedside table lay a note.

Qin Ze picked it up to read.

It read:

I've gone to the company. Breakfast is in the kitchen; heat it yourself. Regarding last night, if you want to take responsibility, then do; if not, forget it. If anything comes up, remember to call me.

After reading it, Qin Ze couldn't help but laugh.

This woman was truly straightforward.

He put down the note, picked up his mobile phone, and checked the time.

Eight-thirty in the morning.

He then opened the system and looked at today's recommended stocks.

On the system interface, today's list of recommended stocks was displayed.

Qin Ze examined it carefully, forming a clear plan in his mind.

He opened his memo app and organized all the system-recommended stocks into a single document.

Then, he sent a message to Jiang Rui:

"Jiang Rui, check the document; inside are the stocks to buy today."

"Just follow the instructions listed there."

"Invest around one million per stock, buying in scattered portions."

"Remember, split the purchases across several accounts to avoid drawing attention."

Within seconds, Jiang Rui replied:

"Received, President Qin!"

Qin Ze put down his Mobile Phone, got out of bed, and went to the kitchen to heat up breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Qin Ze Interrupted his routine according to what he and Zhao Yutong had agreed upon yesterday.

Time to visit Zhao Yutong's company!

Since investing the money last time, Qin Ze had never asked about the other party's company development progress.

……

Following the address Zhao Yutong gave him, Qin Ze drove to an office building in the suburbs of Jiangcheng.

The office building wasn't tall, only six stories, and looked somewhat aged.

But downstairs hung a brand-new signboard:

Qingyun Technology.

Qin Ze parked his car, entered the office building, and took the elevator to the fifth floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, he saw Zhao Yutong.

Zhao Yutong wore a white shirt paired with black suit trousers, looking both capable and intellectual.

Seeing Qin Ze, a smile immediately appeared on her face:

"Qin Ze, you're here!"

Qin Ze Laughed:

"What? Coming down personally to pick me up?"

Zhao Yutong said with a Laugh:

"Of course I must pick you up personally."

"You are now our company's largest shareholder."

Qin Ze followed her into the company.

The company wasn't large, roughly two hundred square meters.

The decoration was also very simple, just an ordinary office style.

But inside sat quite a few employees, all busy working at their computers.
