Chapter 293
Bai Xiaoyu was touching the haute couture pieces, looking very fond of them, when she heard Baihezi's words, she quickly nodded.
“I have known Brother Qin for many years. He treats me like a younger sister.”
Upon hearing this, Yuriko couldn't help but show a look of joy.
"Then please arrange a private meeting with him later. I have something important to discuss with him. I think Xiaoqin and I will have a pleasant conversation."
Yuriko said with a smile.
Bai Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment.
She liked Qin Shi, and of course, she didn't want Qin Shi to be alone with other women.
"I just really want to cooperate with the Qin family. Besides, I heard that Mr. Qin has been having a tough time lately. If this project goes through, it will definitely help him in the future."
As she spoke, Yuriko glanced at Bai Xiaoyu again. She had seen plenty of vain women like her.
Upon hearing that she could help Brother Qin, Bai Xiaoyu's eyes lit up immediately.
She always wanted to prove to Brother Qin that she was better than Yan Lan, that she was young and beautiful, and that she was a graduate of a prestigious university.
If she can help Brother Qin secure the collaboration project with Coco this time, she will be able to prove to the Qin family that she is a virtuous and capable wife.
"Okay, I'll go find Brother Qin right now."
As Bai Xiaoyu spoke, she picked up the several haute couture outfits and walked out.
Yuriko's lips curled into a smug smile...
At the Carlton Hotel, the moment the elevator doors opened on the first floor, Bai Xiaoyu, dressed in a COCO suit, came to greet us.
"Brother Qin! I have something important to tell you privately."
Qin Shi turned his head to look at Yan Lan beside him.
"Say what you need to say here."
Bai Xiaoyu bit her lower lip. "It's very important about the collaboration project with Coco."
She glanced meaningfully at Yan Lan.
I'm only telling you this.
"Say it or don't, it's up to you." Qin Shi's voice was as cold as ice.
"Just five minutes!" Bai Xiaoyu's eyes reddened with anxiety. "It's really important..."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you at the teahouse."
Yan Lan nodded. She had just had someone put away the information about Yuriko's work achievements at Coco over the years, and she needed to conduct a thorough evaluation.
Qin Shi could only go to the presidential suite on the top floor with Bai Xiaoyu.
Bai Xiaoyu had just opened the door and stepped aside to let Qin Shi in. As soon as Qin Shi went in, there was a "click" sound—the door behind him was locked from the inside.
He looked back.
Beside the suite door, Yuriko was dressed in an alluring nightgown, and a beautiful view awaited her if she looked down.
Hearing her red lips curl up,
"Young Master Qin, it's been a long time."
As he spoke, he wrapped his fair, vine-like arms around Qin Shi's shoulders, clinging to him like a conjoined twin.
She lit a kind of incense in the room that could make one feel intoxicated. This young and promising CEO Qin was tall and handsome, and she had long coveted him.
"Ms. Yuriko."
Qin Shi stood motionless at the doorway, his eyes lowered, his thick, long eyelashes casting long shadows.
"Is this COCO's way of treating guests?"
Yuriko turned around, and her silk nightgown slipped off her shoulder with the movement.
"Why be so serious, Mr. Qin? As long as you stay..."
Fingers painted with bright red nail polish touched Qin Shi's tie.
“COCO can sign a contract immediately.”
Qin Shi grabbed her wrist. "Please have some self-respect."
"What are you pretending to be, a gentleman?"
Yuriko's expression suddenly changed, and she abruptly ripped open the belt of her nightgown.
"Didn't you send a male model to my bed last time?"
"That's my secretary's way of treating guests."
Qin Shi flung her hand away with such force that she staggered backward and fell to the ground.
"I also have my own way of treating guests."
He forcefully pulled open the suite door. Bai Xiaoyu, holding a glass of champagne, was about to knock when she froze. The crystal glass on the tray reflected the mess inside—Yuriko was slumped in a sea of rose petals, her clothes disheveled, while Qin Shi stood at the door, not a single strand of his hair out of place.
"Brother Qin, you..."
Bai Xiaoyu's voice trembled.
"How could you treat Miss Yuriko like this?"
"Shut up."
Qin Shi's eyes were sharp as knives.
"You conspired with her to scheme against me?"
The tray in Bai Xiaoyu's hands crashed to the ground with a loud bang.
"I...I'm doing this for your own good! As long as we take down COCO, the board of directors will..."
“So what?”
Qin Shi is drawing ever closer.
"Bai Xiaoyu, it's none of your business to worry about me."
Bai Xiaoyu was cornered against the wall, her back slamming against the cold surface.
"Yan Lan will only be a burden to you. I can help you; I'm always trying to help you."
"What right do you have to compare yourself to her? You're not even worth a single hair on her head. I never want to see you again."
Qin Shi strode over.
Bai Xiaoyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
She felt that Brother Qin was really angry.
Does he really not want her anymore?
She touched her lower abdomen with trembling hands—thankfully, she still had one last bargaining chip.
You'll regret it.
She stared at Qin Shi's departing figure and murmured to herself.
"After the baby is born..."
Before Bai Xiaoyu could finish speaking, a series of crashing sounds came from behind her. It turned out that Miss Yuriko had smashed everything in the suite in a fit of anger.
"Qin Shi, do you dare to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"
Then I'll show you how powerful Yuriko is.
I will join other brands in boycotting Qin's.
Yuriko's heavily made-up face was now smudged, and her expression was contorted with rage.
If I can't have him, then I'll destroy him.
Inside the tea room, Yan Lan was reviewing the financial reports of COCO's Asian division for the past two years.
Just then, a news article popped up on her phone.
COCO announces the termination of its cooperation with Qin's Group and its move to Daimaru Department Store!
Several internationally renowned brands have announced that they will no longer cooperate with Qin.
Qin's stock price immediately fell by 5%...
Yan Lan casually clicked on the news.
"Yuriko just tweeted..."
The screen prominently displayed a photo that Yuriko had just posted—Qin Shi standing in a hotel suite with his back to the camera, accompanied by the caption: "Some people pretend to be righteous on the surface, but in reality they are beasts in human clothing."
Yan Lan grabbed the sofa armrest and was about to stand up.
The elevator opened with a "ding," and Qin Shi stepped out.
Seeing Yan Lan's pale face, he immediately reached out to support her: "What's wrong?"
Yan Lan opened her mouth, but first smelled an unusual fragrance.
Yan Lan's brows furrowed immediately.
Qin Shi's breathing was also somewhat disordered.
When he first entered the room, he inhaled a lot of the incense.
He immediately sensed that something was wrong.
But his self-control was amazing, so he forced himself to walk out of the room. All the way down, he had only one thought: to find Yan Lan and leave this place.
When he saw Yan Lan, he felt all the tension in his body instantly relax.
"I'll take you to a small clinic first."
Yan Lan ignored the news content; was Qin Shi poisoned?
The two left the Carlton Hotel in a hurry.
Meanwhile, news about Yuriko was spreading across the internet at an alarming rate.
