Chapter 100: The Collateral Damage of Young Master Wang

After finishing his thoughts, Qin Tian wore a faint smile and looked directly at the strong woman worth over a hundred million, neither humble nor pushy.

What he had just said was indeed his true feelings.

But he had only said half of it.

The other half was that if Wang Lingyue had really been so short-sighted, he might have had to swallow this bitter pill for now.

But he would have kept it in mind.

A gentleman takes his revenge in ten years.

Besides, with the system, he wouldn't need nearly that long.

"Hahaha..."

Wang Lingyue suddenly burst into hearty laughter.

Wang Hao, sitting next to her, paused, and then a brilliant smile bloomed on his face.

He knew he had overthought it; his aunt had been doing that on purpose.

This collaboration should be a done deal.

"Two hundred thousand. For these few designs, I'll give you two hundred thousand."

After Wang Lingyue stopped laughing, she held up two fingers and gave her offer.

"Xiao Qin, you should know that this price is already very high. Apart from me, there's no one else in Jiangcheng who would give you a higher price. First, I'm very satisfied with the designs, and second, I'm optimistic about your potential—it's a gesture of making friends."

"That's fine. Then I'll use tea instead of wine to thank you, President Wang."

Qin Tian picked up a glass of lemonade and toasted Wang Lingyue with a beaming smile.

"Good, happy cooperation."

Wang Lingyue also smiled, picked up her glass, and clinked it with his.

"Hey, hey, hey, what about me? I was the one who pulled the strings for this."

Wang Hao feigned an angry expression.

"Of course, thank you too, Wang Ge!"

Qin Tian smiled and clinked glasses with him as well.

"Alright, business is done, let's eat. I'm starving. After we finish, I'll make a call and have someone from the company bring the contract!"

Wang Lingyue said with a smile.

And so, the three began to chat and feast.

"By the way, Xiao Qin, the model for that blue dress design..."

"Mm, that's my girlfriend."

"Wow, impressive. You haven't even graduated high school yet, and you already have such a beautiful girlfriend."

"Heh heh..."

"Xiao Hao, look at Xiao Qin, and then look at you. How old are you, and where's your girlfriend?"

Wang Lingyue seized the opportunity and glared at her nephew beside her.

"Aunt, I'm still young!"

Wang Hao said with a wronged expression.

"Young? You've been out of college for two years, and you're almost thirty in the blink of an eye. Your parents and I are waiting for you to get married and have kids, and you? You only know how to play games and hang out with those friends all day."

"My mistake, my mistake, Aunt. Stop talking, save me some face in front of Xiao Qin."

"You still want face? What face do you have? Hurry up, learn from Xiao Qin. Before the New Year, you must bring a girlfriend home!"

"This..."

"This what? Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem."

Qin Tian, sitting opposite, ate meat and watched the show, enjoying himself immensely.

After eating their fill, Qin Tian called the waiter to pay the bill, but was firmly stopped by Wang Lingyue and Wang Hao.

In the end, Wang Lingyue paid the bill.

Afterward, Wang Lingyue called her company secretary and had her draft a contract and bring it over.

The secretary was very efficient; after a short wait, a female secretary brought over two copies of the contract.

After Qin Tian and Wang Lingyue quickly signed the contract, Wang Lingyue made another call to the company's finance department, reported Qin Tian's bank account number, and ordered a transfer of two hundred thousand to that account.

With that, the transaction for the design drawings was complete.

"President Wang, here is the USB drive; all the designs are inside. Can I take back the design drawing for that blue dress?"

Qin Tian asked with a smile.

Wang Lingyue paused, then teased with a smile: "What? Can't bear to part with that drawing of your girlfriend? Want to take it back to collect?"

Qin Tian smiled shyly and nodded, admitting it.

Wang Lingyue couldn't help but laugh and handed back the design drawing that used Xia Nuannuan as a model.

"Thank you, President Wang."

Qin Tian thanked her happily, folded the design drawing, and put it back in his shoulder bag.

"See that? Learn from him!"

Wang Lingyue raised her right index finger and poked her nephew's forehead hard.

Wang Hao rolled his eyes, speechless.

Wang Lingyue didn't bother with him anymore, looked at Qin Tian, and said: "Xiao Qin, I'm going back to the company now. Let Xiao Hao take you around Jiangcheng to have some fun."

"Alright, alright, take care. Thank you so much today. Next time I come to Jiangcheng, you must give me a chance to treat you to a meal."

Qin Tian said with a beaming smile.

"Good!"

Wang Lingyue nodded with a smile, then quickly left the restaurant with her secretary.

The phone in his pocket dinged; Qin Tian took it out and saw it was indeed a text message about the bank deposit.

Including what he had earned from playing games with Wang Hao, there was now 270,000 in the account.

The 300,000 he had promised Zhao Mingyuan this month was almost covered.

"Xiao Qin, you're being very unkind. I helped you so much, and you got me lectured by my aunt."

Wang Hao complained indignantly.

"Haha..."

Qin Tian laughed gloatingly, shouldered his bag, and said: "Wang Ge, I'm doing this for your own good. Hurry up and find a girlfriend to bring home!"

"That's enough!"

Wang Hao glared at him with disgust.

"Alright, alright, you don't appreciate good intentions!"

Qin Tian grinned, changed the subject, and said: "Business is done, and we're full. What do you say? Shall we find an internet cafe and play some games?"

Hearing this, Wang Hao's eyes lit up instantly.

"Sure, let's go, let's go."

After playing games with Wang Hao at the internet cafe for half a day, he treated him to hot pot at 7:00 PM to show his gratitude.

Afterward, Wang Hao wanted to drag him back to the internet cafe to continue ranking up all night.

Qin Tian declined, using the excuse that he had to go to class tomorrow.

Wang Hao had no choice but to drop him off at the train station.

Fortunately, there was one last train back to Yucheng.

After buying his ticket, Qin Tian found the ticket gate and sat in the waiting area, waiting to board.

He took out his phone to play a bit and found a missed message from Xia Nuannuan.

"When are you coming back?"

"I'm at the station, but it should be nearly 10:00 by the time I get back to Yucheng. I won't be able to go to school until tomorrow."

Qin Tian typed a reply.

Thinking she was probably in evening self-study and wouldn't be able to reply, Qin Tian exited the chat app, but to his surprise, a message popped up at the top of the screen immediately.

"Okay."

Just two simple words.

Qin Tian thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead.

It was rare to come to Jiangcheng, and after finishing his business, he had run off to play games and forgotten to buy some souvenirs to take back.

He scanned his surroundings and saw a shop selling braised duck products not far away.

"Do you like eating duck necks?"

Qin Tian typed quickly to ask.

In the classroom of Grade 12 Class 10 at Yucheng No. 4 High School.

Xia Nuannuan held a pen in her right hand, while her left hand, hidden under the desk, held her phone.

Feeling the phone vibrate again, she felt a surge of joy and subconsciously wanted to look at it.

Just then, she suddenly remembered something and vigilantly glanced at the corridor outside the window.

Seeing no sign of any teachers or the homeroom teacher, she finally relaxed, leaned back slightly, and lowered her little head to look at the phone screen. ===== CHAPTER 101 =====
