Chapter 294: Chapter 291: The Fair and Tender Feet
He Qianhui clicked her tongue twice, turned around, and the two of them embraced and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, He Qianhui received a call from Feng Nuo.
She said she was already waiting for her downstairs.
He Qianhui checked the time, felt there was still enough time, and called Feng Nuo up.
It was Feng Nuo’s first visit to He Qianhui’s home, and she was pleasantly surprised.
She also noticed Zhang Hao in the kitchen.
"Xiaohui, you’re really lucky."
"Lucky? It’s just ordinary people living ordinary days. If you think I’m living a happy life,"
"then you should hurry up and find a boyfriend too."
Zhang Hao came out with a bowl of freshly cooked wontons.
"Stop chatting, you two, and come eat," he said.
After each had a bowl of steaming wontons, Zhang Hao rushed to take them to the airport.
Before getting out of the car, He Qianhui did not forget to give Zhang Hao a fierce kiss on his face.
After seeing this, Feng Nuo kept saying "ouch" non-stop.
"Wait for me, okay? I’ll buy you a little gift on this business trip."
Watching He Qianhui’s figure disappear into the crowd, Zhang Hao drove off towards the hospital.
Halfway there, the car broke down, suddenly making him think of getting a new vehicle.
He took half a day off on the spur of the moment to go car shopping.
His dad’s car was too old and not spacious enough.
He had wanted to do "that" in the car with He Qianhui several times but kept hitting his head.
To be more comfortable, this time Zhang Hao chose a car with a larger space.
The saleswoman was dressed very sexily, wearing a suit with a low-cut tube top underneath.
Her prominently displayed cleavage would make anyone feel dizzy!
Moreover, the price of the car was good too, although he would have to wait two days for the new car to arrive at the dealership.
After paying the deposit, Zhang Hao left and hurried back to the hospital without mentioning anything about the incident.
In the afternoon, around two or three o’clock, the plane landed and He Qianhui, along with Feng Nuo, arrived at the hotel and set down their luggage.
"You’ve been glued to your phone the whole trip; looks like you’ve got good news," He Qianhui asked.
"Not really, Xiaohui, you just like to tease me. It’s the same guy I met on a business trip last time, a fellow countryman," she replied.
"I turned him down, but he kept asking me to reconsider. After his relentless persuasion, I finally agreed."
He Qianhui said calmly, "Oh, you agreed. Isn’t that good?"
Feng Nuo frowned, "Good? Good for what? He told me we might even get married by the end of the year."
"But I’m still young, I don’t want to get married so early, so I’m having second thoughts now."
After pondering a bit, He Qianhui earnestly said, "There are only so many good men; if you miss out on one, you better not cry about it later."
Feng Nuo disagreed, "But I think your life with your boyfriend seems great, Xiaohui. When do you plan to get married?"
This question caught He Qianhui off guard.
The two of them had never really discussed this matter in detail.
"I don’t know about that; we haven’t really thought about it yet, but I guess I should ask him when I get back," she said.
Feng Nuo suggested, "I think one to two years of dating is normal."
"Rushing into marriage without knowing the other’s temperament and character, only to find out we’re incompatible after living together every day, would be like shedding a layer of skin. My qualifications aren’t that great, to begin with, so if I don’t make a wise choice, I’ll be the one who ends up suffering."
He Qianhui felt Feng Nuo made a very valid point.
The following day, He Qianhui and Feng Nuo finally met with the boss for this trip.
The boss was a big and stocky man, who seemed quite difficult to approach.
Even when He Qianhui interacted with him, she was extremely cautious.
Feng Nuo was so scared that she didn’t dare to speak.
However, after the negotiation, she suddenly felt that this person was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and respected women a lot.
There were two other men who came along, one of whom couldn’t take his eyes off He Qianhui, constantly staring at her legs.
He Qianhui, sensing this unfriendly gaze, deliberately maintained her distance from him.
As for Feng Nuo, she hadn’t even considered that she would become a target of attention herself.
Fortunately, her presence wasn’t as noticeable as He Qianhui’s, so let them look, she thought, it’s not like she would lose a piece of flesh.
"Compared to other companies, what advantages does your company have, and why should I choose you when your prices are higher?"
Questions like these were almost always asked of He Qianhui by clients on every business trip.
After presenting the strengths of her own company, she would let the other party decide for themselves.
Seeing that He Qianhui answered smoothly, without excessively boasting about her company or belittling competitors, the man knew she wasn’t the type to play cheap tricks.
"Good, but I need to think about this. I’ll arrange for someone to take you two beautiful ladies on a tour around here."
"Enjoy the scenery of my hometown. I have another meeting to attend, so let’s stop here for today."
The man finished speaking and stood up to leave.
As soon as he left, the atmospheric pressure in the room finally returned to normal.
He Qianhui also heaved a sigh of relief, her hand non-stop rubbing her chest.
"This client was really quite intimidating this time."
"Intimidating is an understatement. If it were me facing him, I wouldn’t even dare to speak," said Feng Nuo.
The moment that man left, the other two men eagerly volunteered.
They wanted to take them both around to see the fun places nearby.
Such an offer was naturally not something He Qianhui would reject.
She called on Feng Nuo to join her, heading to a well-known local attraction.
However, walking in high heels was somewhat strenuous.
But He Qianhui hadn’t brought any sneakers on this trip.
Making a spur-of-the-moment decision, she chose a shoe store, planning to buy a pair of sports shoes.
After selecting a pair she liked, just as she was about to try them on, one of the men unexpectedly knelt on one knee, holding her foot.
He personally took off the black high heels she was wearing.
"The lady’s feet are so white and tender, very beautiful," he said.
He Qianhui instinctively wanted to pull her foot back, but the man was holding her ankle tightly.
There were other customers in the store choosing merchandise, so He Qianhui didn’t dare to make a big fuss and draw attention from those around.
"Sir, this is making me a bit embarrassed," she said.
"It’s nothing, serving a beauty is an honor for us men," he replied.
The man held He Qianhui’s foot as he put the sports shoes on for her.
"Miss He, try these shoes. Are they comfortable?" he asked.
He Qianhui stood up and took a few steps, "Not bad, I’ll take these."
The man looked around and said, "There are so many other styles here, why don’t you try them all? Only by trying can you know which pair is the best."
He Qianhui instinctively wanted to refuse, but these two men could accompany that client and come out together.
So their status was likely not ordinary.
"Alright then, could you please bring me that pair of pink sports shoes?" she asked.
The man happily obliged when he heard He Qianhui agree.
He rose to his feet and fetched the pink sports shoes from the shelf.
This time, he firmly grasped He Qianhui’s other foot, praising it again before fitting her with the shoes.
