My CEO Baby Daddy Keeps Falling for My Tricks-Chapter 27 - 1 0 Like sitting on pins and needles_1

The assistant, sitting in the driver’s seat, followed his boss’s gaze and nodded. “I see her!”

“Hmm, ask her how much it would take for her to agree to move out, speaking as the boss!” he instructed.

The assistant was a little confused by his words. “As the boss?”

Qin Muchuan nodded. “Yes, the price can’t exceed 1.8 million. Go negotiate with her!”

Offering 1.5 million didn’t convince her to move before, and now just 300,000 more?

Isn’t this too little?

The assistant tentatively said, “Boss, I think that 1.8 million might fall short of Ms. Lin’s acceptable range…”

“Yes!” Qin Muchuan acknowledged this insight.

“If that’s the case…” Why bother negotiating?

The assistant left his comment hanging.

Qin Muchuan responded coldly. “If we always meet their price demand, what would be left for me?”

Making a reasonable point, the assistant got out of the car and approached the lady in the little yellow suit. “Are you Miss Lin?”

Lin Xiangwan turned her head towards the slightly overweight man in the suit upon hearing his voice. “Are you the property developer’s boss, Mr. Qin’s friend?”

“Yes!” The assistant confirmed, instinctively straightening his shoulders, afraid of giving away any weakness.

Seeing the property developer actually in person, Lin Xiangwan really wanted to berate him, but remembering her intention of seeking more compensation, she then decided to be a little more pleasant. “That Mr. Qin said you could offer more compensation. Actually, if the compensation is satisfactory, I would move!”

He laughed. “It’s easy to handle if you’re willing to move. How much compensation are you looking for?”

“Would it matter if I told you?”

After thinking for a moment, the assistant made an attempt to look generous. “Mr. Qin is not an outsider. Since he’s willing to speak on your behalf, consider us friends. As friends, I could offer you a friendly price. You definitely need to keep it confidential…” He leaned in toward Lin Xiangwan and lowered his voice to a whisper. “1.8 million, how about that?”

“Impossible!” Lin Xiangwan’s face turned cold. “Please, sir, feel free to leave!”

“You might regret this…”

Lin Xiangwan plainly looked away, too annoyed to say a word.

The assistant shrugged and slowly headed back the way he came.

“Boss…”

Qin Muchuan dusted off his suit. “Don’t say it, I get it!”

With a look of resentment on his face, the assistant felt wronged.

Qin Muchuan picked up his phone and dialed the previously unstored number. “Couldn’t reach an agreement?”

Embarrassed, Lin Xiangwan answered. “The offer was still too low, so I didn’t agree. I’m sorry, Mr. Qin!”

“Don’t say that!”

“Thank you, anyway!” Lin Xiangwan said politely.

“Um, Mr. Qin, are you free this evening?” Lin Xiangwan cautiously asked.

Being a ‘nail house’ is difficult. Can she count on Mr. Qin to give her a hand?

“Uh… I may have some time!” Qin Muchuan responded after a moment’s thought.

“So, Mr. Qin, could I invite you to dinner tonight? You saved me last time. I haven’t got a chance to thank you properly!”

Having worked for years, encountering many prominent people every day, although she was not yet adept at being a social butterfly, she was still quite capable of general socializing and developing interpersonal relationships.

“There’s no need for dinner!” Qin Muchuan replied.

Lin Xiangwan, feeling defeated, however, didn’t give up. “In that case, could I invite you for a drink instead? Would Mr. Qin consider it?”

Qin Muchuan showed some interest. “Are you sure you want a drink? Not afraid of getting drunk?”

“Haha… Of course not, Mr. Qin is a gentleman. Even if I drink too much, there would be nothing to fear!”

Finding Lin Xiangwan’s communication skills impressive, Qin Muchuan admired her greatly. “Let me be the one to invite you then!”

“No, no, no… I really couldn’t. It’s me who wants to thank you!”

“It’s settled then. Be ready at 7 o’clock tonight. I’ll send someone to pick you up. Don’t forget to keep your phone on!” Qin Muchuan said in a non-negotiable tone and then ended the call.

Holding her phone, Lin Xiangwan stared blankly, unable to react for a long time.

Qin Muchuan had asked her out for a meal?!??

……………..

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiangwan remained in an unsettled state.

Ah ah ah——

She really thought she must have gone mad. How on earth could she have got the nerve to ask Mr. Qin out for a drink?

Unable to calm her emotions, she called her friend, Xiaoqi.

“Is it weird that you were acting that way? I don’t find it weird at all. You’re someone who loves money. Seeing that tens of thousands are about to be plundered, how could you just sit back and do nothing?” Xiaoqi commented, not finding it strange at all.

Frantically pulling at her hair, Lin Xiangwan retorted. “But that person is Qin Muchuan! How could I dine with such an influential figure? And I was the one who invited him. I was really overstepping my boundaries!”

“So what? He didn’t shame you. He even invited you. You should feel happy about this!”

On the brink of tears, Lin Xiangwan replied. “Happy? I am terrified that I might vomit blood from stress…”

“You know, instead of feeling anxious, why don’t you get ready and choose an outfit…”

Since she has agreed to it, she should prepare well. “So, which outfit do you think I should wear? Which one makes me look pretty, yet friendly, natural, and formal!”

The most crucial point: she absolutely doesn’t want to give Mr. Qin the impression that she’s a frivolous woman!

She was too impulsive today— undoubtedly, she must have left a bad impression.

Lin Xiangwan began brooding for the Nth time!
