<h4>Chapter 1019: Chapter 1013: Blessed with Romance</h4>


    Bai Zhiqing also knew that those who act selfishly often face demise the fastest. When faced with the chairmen and general managers from otherpanies approaching her, she also greeted them with a smile and didn’t speak definitively. She merely mentioned that if there were any future coborations with the Angel Group, she wouldn’t forget them and so on.


    After some polite conversations, even someone as experienced as Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help but feel a wave of fatigue, as if she had fought a battle. Dealing with this group of old foxes required constant vignce.


    At this moment, Shen Manjun walked over, swaying her seductive hips while holding a high-stemmed ss, and softly said to Bai Zhiqing, "Mr. Bai, congrattions. I hope you will take care of me in the future."


    "Mr. Shen, you’re too kind."


    Bai Zhiqing smiled, looked at Shen Manjun, and said somewhat surprisingly, "Mr. Shen, as far as I know, you also wanted to secure this coboration. Why didn’t you go on stage in the end?"


    "What’s the use of going on stage?"


    Shen Manjun chuckled lightly, her gaze sweeping over Bai Zhiqing, "Mr. Bai, I’ve heard a saying that rtionships can surpass capability. Do you think this is true?"


    Upon hearing Shen Manjun’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s expression remained unchanged. She knew what Shen Manjun meant—that her appearance on stage was of no consequence, and no matter how strong her capabilities, they couldn’t surpass the rtionship between her and Angel.


    "Mr. Shen, you are absolutely right. Sometimes being strong doesn’t guarantee victory. After all, to anyone, I think no one would refuse such a shortcut. Moreover, I believe I not only rely on rtionships." Bai Zhiqingughed lightly, not showing any panic at being seen through by Shen Manjun.


    "That is true. There is indeed no fairness in this world, and rtionships are sometimes indeed very important."


    Shen Manjun seemed to agree very much with Bai Zhiqing’s words, nodded, and her gazended on Lu Tianxing: "Mr. Lu, my daughter has been frequently mentioning your name recently, saying you’re a good person. I hope you’ll take the time to apany my daughter. She doesn’t have many friends, and you’re among them."


    "No problem, Miss Shen. I’ll find time to meet Qiaoqiao," Lu Tianxing said with a clear gaze and a smile as he looked at Shen Manjun.


    Their conversation seemed no different from that between usual friends, and no one would know that the two had almost ended up in bed togetherst night.


    Lu Tianxing understood a woman’s character well. For a woman like Shen Manjun, who had weathered many storms and seen all kinds of people, love was merely a condiment in life. In other words, even though Shen Manjun had not been in a romantic rtionship, she was beyond the stage of being a little girl. She wasn’t the type to be sentimentally attached; for women like her, they seek a calm life rather than a passionate one promising eternal oaths.


    "If that’s the case, I won’t disturb you any longer."


    Shen Manjun smiled softly, turned around, and walked away. In the moment she turned, a trace of tenderness shed in her eyes, unnoticed by anyone.


    As soon as Shen Manjun left, Angel swayed her curvy waist and came over to Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Lin Qianru.


    "Old friend, it’s been a few days, and I notice you’re quite fortunate with women. Another beautifuldy by your side—aren’t you afraid that all the bachelors in the world will seek revenge on you?" Angel joked as she approached the three of them.


    "Angel, this doesn’t seem to be my problem! After all, there’s nothing I can do if I’m handsome. And speaking of those bachelors, they should really be giving you women trouble, not me," Lu Tianxing said, teasingly looking at Angel.


    "Oh, trouble us? What do you mean?" Angel asked curiously.


    Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru also looked on curiously, wanting to see what Lu Tianxing had to say.


    "Of course, give you women trouble. If you all didn’t set your standards so high, saying this man has no money, that man isn’t handsome, and another doesn’t know how to care for you. If you just lowered your standards a bit, there would be way fewer bachelors out there. In fact, the reason there are so many bachelors in the world is because of your high standards, so you are the real culprits."


    "Haha."


    Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Angelughed heartily, "Mr. Lu, if you say so, would it also be our women’s fault if crimes happened in this world?"


    "Of course!"


    Lu Tianxing said matter-of-factly, "If you didn’t dress so provocatively, deliberately showing off Holy Maiden Peak and deep cleavage, and wearing shorts nearly up to your thighs, I think fewer men would think ofmitting crimes. So if a man didmit a crime, you should also be aplices, listed as conspirators to truly reflect the equality of men and women in the new era..."


    Lu Tianxing was speaking with great righteousness, not noticing Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru beside him were already looking a bit exasperated. Although they had expected that Lu Tianxing might say something shocking, hearing it firsthand was a different matter altogether.


    "Lu Tianxing, shut up."


    Seeing that Lu Tianxing was about to continue speaking, Bai Zhiqing couldn’t hold back and interrupted him. Then, she looked at Angel and said, "Angel, I’m sorry, that’s just how he is, likes to talk glibly, I hope you won’t mind."


    "Miss Bai, don’t worry, I’m not that petty," Angel said with a smile.


    Hearing this, Bai Zhiqing quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Miss Angel, thank you for giving me this opportunity."


    Angel replied with a smile, "No need to be so polite, and you haven’t disappointed me. Even without Lu Tianxing, if I were to choose a partner for coboration, I would have chosen Bai’s Group. Both your proposal and your speech made me very satisfied."


    Bai Zhiqing said quietly, "As long as you’re satisfied."


    "By the way, are you nning to return to Modu?" Angel suddenly asked.


    Bai Zhiqing nodded, not hiding anything, and directly said to Angel, "Yes, we came to Beijing mainly for the coboration with the Angel Group. Now that we’ve sessfully partnered, there’s no need to stay. By the way, Miss Angel, what about you?"


    "I also n to leave China in the next few days," Angel said indifferently.


    "Then I wish you a smooth journey, Miss Angel."


    Bai Zhiqing slowly raised the ss in her hand, looking at Angel with a smile.


    "You too."


    "Clink!"


    The crisp sound of sses clinking immediately rang out.


    The two took a light sip of the wine in their sses and exchanged smiles.
