Chapter 227: Chapter 140: The Most Conscientious Capitalist
In the "One Big Happy Family" group chat, Tan Hua, the group owner and official girlfriend, was the first to extend a welcome.
Tan Hua: "Welcome to the group, Qingqing. Everybody, let’s give her a round of applause."
Zong Rui: "Ooh, another gorgeous girl?"
Du Xinxin: "Welcome, big sis! You’re so pretty!"
Pei Yinyin: "Welcome, Qingqing."
Even the lurkers in the group popped up, which deeply touched Chu Qing.
Chu Qing: "Thank you, everyone. I’m new here, so I hope we can all get along well. If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to ask."
Tan Hua: "Qingqing works at China Construction Bank. So in the future, if any of you ladies want a high-limit credit card, you can ask her for help."
Though she said that, there probably wouldn’t be many occasions where they’d actually need Chu Qing’s help.
Chu Qing knew this perfectly well and silently lurked in the chat for a while.
She gradually learned about the identities of the other women in the group.
There were the "three little ones" who were still in school and a fitness coach with a killer body.
There was a graceful and supple dance teacher, Miduo and Xu Ying who were former LV sales associates, and Liu Shiwen, a former flight attendant...
Qi Sheng’s women spanned multiple industries, a true testament to his broad-minded taste.
Chu Qing didn’t know much about the businesses under Qi Sheng’s name.
But she heard people in the group discussing how well Qi Sheng’s hot pot restaurant was doing.
It was even trending on local video feeds.
Tao Siyao sent a video to the group.
"Sisters, hubby is so handsome. You have to see this video, it’s hilarious."
In the video, Qi Sheng was in the middle of welcoming guests who had come to dine at the restaurant.
A few female customers completely forgot they even had husbands.
They were swooning over Qi Sheng, while their husbands stood beside them, fuming.
Qi Sheng, on the other hand, looked utterly embarrassed but helpless.
There were quite a few videos like this.
Without exception, they all had tens of thousands of likes.
This was despite the videos being shot from what could only be described as the most unflattering angles.
But Qi Sheng’s handsome face and impressive 187cm frame easily overcame them.
Tan Hua: "I have to oversee the beauty salon renovation. Who’s free to go help out?"
Du Xinxin: "Sister Huahua, we have exams, so we can’t go."
Tao Siyao: "+1. It’ll be fine after our exams are over."
Zong Rui: "I have to oversee my villa’s renovation, so I can’t get away either."
Pei Yinyin: "Yingying and I are the same. We have to look at furniture these next couple of days, so we can’t make it."
After running through the list, it seemed only Liu Shiwen and Chu Qing were free.
One was Qi Sheng’s personal secretary.
The other was his client manager. Both of their jobs revolved around him.
With a major client like Qi Sheng, no one would say a thing even if Chu Qing skipped work all day.
In the banking system, whoever can bring in deposits is king.
And whoever can make money for the bank is the king of kings.
Given Qi Sheng’s current relationship with Zhou Yu,
letting Chu Qing skip work was a trivial matter.
Chu Qing: "Then I’ll go check it out. I haven’t been there yet anyway."
Tan Hua: "That’s great. Here’s the manager Yuan Li’s number. Contact her when you get there."
Chu Qing: "Okay, Huahua."
After saving Yuan Li’s number to her contacts, Chu Qing finally started to take a shower.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw her body was covered in hickeys.
It was a clear sign of how wild the two of them had been yesterday.
’Rascal.’
Chu Qing mumbled with a blush.
She strode into the bathroom on her long legs.
She rinsed off her body, washing herself until she was fresh and fragrant.
After carefully getting dressed and putting on makeup, Chu Qing finally went downstairs.
"Miss Chu."
Gu Feng came forward and opened the rear door of the BMW 7 Series.
"Master Gu, why are you still here?"
Chu Qing was, of course, no stranger to Gu Feng.
He was Qi Sheng’s bodyguard and driver.
"The boss asked me to take you to pick up a car. You can choose anything under a million, and Director Lei will handle the payment directly."
Gu Feng relayed Qi Sheng’s words faithfully and then fell silent.
"Uh... thank you."
Chu Qing was taken aback, not expecting Qi Sheng to get her a car as well.
Sitting in the car, Chu Qing took out her phone, went into the group chat, and tagged @everyone.
Chu Qing: "Sisters, did you all get cars too?"
Tan Hua: "I have a Cayenne."
Zong Rui: "A G500."
Du Xinxin: "I have a Panamera, the 4.0T version!"
Tao Siyao: "Mine’s a 911, with similar specs to Xinxin’s."
Pan Yinuo: "Sister Huahua and I both have Cayennes."
Reading her sisters’ replies, Chu Qing’s scalp tingled from the sheer display of wealth.
’They’re all million-yuan luxury cars. Isn’t this too extravagant?’
Xu Ying: "Yinyin and I just picked up our cars too. I got a Maserati Ghibli, and she got a Quattroporte."
Xue Zhongyun: "I got a Levante. Picked it up with Yingying and the others."
Miduo: "Mine’s a Range Rover."
Liu Shiwen: "I have a Range Rover Sport. I love our man so much!"
The last four had a similar status to her.
Miduo was the only exception, having been specially permitted by Qi Sheng not to limit her choice to cars under a million.
But the common denominator was that all the sisters had received luxury cars.
At the very least, they were Maseratis and Land Rovers.
The better ones were Porsches and the Mercedes G-Wagen.
Chu Qing observed carefully and came to a conclusion.
The sisters had intentionally chosen different cars to avoid the awkwardness of having the same model.
Chu Qing found herself in a blessed predicament.
She had to choose a car she liked, under a million yuan, that wasn’t the same as any of the other sisters’.
But this was a problem countless girls could only dream of having.
Looking at Gu Feng, who was still waiting for her instructions,
Chu Qing suddenly remembered a car she had really liked when she was studying abroad.
"Master Gu, please take me to the Jaguar dealership."
"Understood."
Gu Feng entered the Jaguar dealership’s location into the navigation and drove Chu Qing directly to her destination.
Two hours later, Chu Qing had completed the process of acquiring her new car.
The entire purchasing process was so refreshingly straightforward that she herself could hardly believe it.
Once she had picked a model she liked and negotiated the price...
