Chapter 1181 The Generous Boss

Qin Zheng was dumbfounded. "Is there really so much to it when it comes to dating?"

Wu Yuze chuckled, "Of course! You think dating is just about developing feelings? Of course, it's about give and take. The more you care and concern, the more you love! If Cao Yuanyuan were to whine to you about her stomach hurting, wouldn't you overthink it and worry about her for ages?"

"No matter how things change, human nature remains the same. This applies to both men and women! The more attention you give and the more you care, the more you naturally love them! In economics, this is called increased sunk costs, so of course you'll pay more attention to them!"

Wu Yuze spoke eloquently, leaving Qin Zheng completely bewildered.

"I never expected you to be such a love expert!" Qin Zheng praised. He was prepared to do so, but he wouldn't make it sound so serious; he would just say he felt dizzy.

If we talk about things too seriously or too distantly, it will put pressure on Cao Yuanyuan.

Qin Zheng did just that, and sure enough, Cao Yuanyuan was very concerned after receiving the text message and even called him.

Cao Yuanyuan was relieved to learn that Qin Zheng had slept well and was feeling much better. However, she also came to her senses and thought of the message. "Qin Zheng, thank you for liking me! You are handsome and considerate, from a good family, and very capable. You are a very good dating partner and marriage partner."

"However, I may not be able to give you a definite answer right now, because I haven't seen through my own heart! If I refuse now, it would be irresponsible to myself. If I agree easily, it would be not taking my feelings for you seriously! Neither of these is what I want to see."

Qin Zheng smiled, "Alright! There's plenty of time, think it over carefully! You're very busy working over there, take care of yourself. I'll come visit you when I have some vacation time here!"

Cao Yuanyuan felt much more relaxed. "Thank you! Take care of yourself too. I'll go back home when I have my vacation! After all, I have a salary now and can afford the round-trip airfare!"

I didn't come back before not because I didn't miss home, but because the round-trip airfare was too expensive!

Now her job allows her to afford airfare, and she has plenty of vacation time here—long enough for her to go back home.

Hearing each other's lighthearted and cheerful voices, Qin Zheng and Cao Yuanyuan both smiled.

Even after hanging up the phone, they would open their text messages and read each other's messages repeatedly.

The project in Shanghai is progressing very quickly. As one of the shareholders and one of the main persons in charge of the project, Liu Meilan flew to Shanghai.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I saw Qin Zheng grinning with his phone in hand.

Liu Meilan and Qin Zheng were very familiar with each other, so she could joke around with him. "So happy, did you eat bee droppings?"

Qin Zheng looked up and saw Liu Meilan, his eyebrows raised. "Of course I'm happy. Our relationship has taken another big step forward!"

Liu Meilan exclaimed in surprise, "You actually dared to confess your feelings to Cao Yuanyuan? I thought you would keep quiet and wait a few more years! Until Cao Yuanyuan couldn't wait any longer, accepted someone else's advances, and married someone else!"

For Liu Meilan, whose feelings are very direct and pure, other factors are negligible if there are no family-related issues. She confesses if she likes someone, and leaves if she doesn't; dragging things out is a waste of time and energy.

Qin Zheng felt a little embarrassed when he heard Liu Meilan's ridicule. On the plane, Wu Yuze snatched his phone to text Cao Yuanyuan. He was a little angry at the time, but now it seems that his dating experience was very useful and pushed his relationship forward by a lot.

"Do you think I'm that bad?" Qin Zheng retorted.

Liu Meilan smiled enigmatically, "In this relationship, you should be the one taking the initiative! If you don't, even if Cao Yuanyuan has some feelings for you, she'll be too embarrassed to confess!"

Qin Zheng nodded. Indeed, that was true; after all, he had witnessed Cao Yuanyuan and Liu Yibang's relationship. If even he couldn't take that step, how could Cao Yuanyuan possibly move forward?

"They're all experienced, much better than me!" Qin Zheng praised, while also acknowledging his own shortcomings. "How long will you be staying this time?"

Liu Meilan did the math, "I'll be here today and tomorrow, and go back first thing the day after tomorrow!"

"You've had a busy day!" Qin Zheng exclaimed. "You couldn't bear to leave the kids behind, could you?"

Liu Meilan nodded, "The child is still young, of course we're reluctant to part with him! But thankfully, his mother and grandfather are helping to take care of him! Quickly, get out any documents and try to review them as quickly as possible! We need to get everything approved and signed off at the meeting tomorrow!"

We've already handled things through email and QQ chat; now all that's left is the final signing of the contract.

Qin Zheng took out all the documents and went to Liu Meilan's office. "Take a look, would you like brewed tea or milk tea?"

Liu Meilan replied, "Try your milk tea!"

"Okay! I'll buy it for you myself!" Qin Zheng agreed and prepared to go buy the milk tea.

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Wait a minute! I rarely come all this way, so I'm treating everyone in the company to milk tea and coffee! Have someone send extra! This is my card!"

Qin Zheng was slightly taken aback. "Mr. Liu is really generous! If you can invite me, I can invite you too!"

Liu Meilan stood up and shoved the card into Qin Zheng's hand. "I'm here today, so it's on me! You can treat me whenever you want in the future! Don't dawdle!"

Qin Zheng smiled and took the card. It was Liu Meilan's treat, so he really couldn't spend his money.

Qin Zheng went downstairs, bought 25 servings of milk tea and 25 servings of coffee, paid, and waited for the shop staff to deliver them.

Half an hour later, 50 drinks were served.

Qin Zheng said loudly, "This is what our General Manager Liu is treating everyone to! This is milk tea, and that is coffee. Help yourselves!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately stood up, "Thank you, President Liu, President Qin!"

I didn't expect that as soon as Mr. Liu arrived, he would treat everyone to drinks, and that Mr. Qin would personally buy them.

Qin Zheng personally brought a cup of milk tea into the office and handed it to Liu Meilan, saying, "Try it!"

Liu Meilan had been watching for half an hour straight and was a little tired. She took the milk tea, took a sip, and said, "Not bad! If things go smoothly tomorrow, tomorrow afternoon, let's have a secret ballot to decide whether we should go out for dinner together or each person contribute 200 yuan to the team-building fund."

Qin Zheng looked up and said, "Meilan, you have so many ideas! Of course, we should go out for dinner together for team building!"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Some people are willing, but others may not be! After all, it's after get off work hours, and tomorrow is Friday. They might already have plans for the evening! The purpose of our team building activity is to make everyone happy. If you don't want to drink and eat together, and want to give them 200 yuan to make them happy, then just give them 200 yuan! Our boss won't participate in the vote; everyone else will vote, and I will decide based on the number of votes, to show everyone's opinion!"

Qin Zheng gave Liu Meilan a thumbs up, "You even organize team building activities differently from others, impressive!"
