Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Are you worrying about me?

If Yanhuang’s Master was a rash and hot-headed person, he absolutely wouldn’t have been capable of managing, not to mention expanding the Yan Huang Empire to the magnificent and undefeatable position it is in today!

Master Yanhuang’s words left Qin Xiu speechless.

Looking over it, indeed, he wouldn’t have jeopardized his profits just for satisfying his ego.

"Yeah, I understand now!"

...

The very next day, rumors surfaced that the Yanhuang Group withdrew from the bidding.

Instantly, all kinds of gossip and disrespectful comments flooded in.

Among other things, was the Yanhuang Group unable to compete with new businesses, was the Yanhuang Group just a decorative, non-functional, embroidered pillow or was the Yanhuang Group under the Master’s control just a hollowed shell with appearances of strength but decaying by the day. Yi Wang real estate was rumored to overtake the Yanhuang Group and become the dominant player in L City real estate industry, and so on, etc...

Zhu Qianying, who was also busy with the jewelry store at this time, felt a jerk in her heart when she heard these rumors from Xing Bailun.

Given her understanding of Master Yanhuang and her view of the Yanhuang Group, she simply regarded these as unfounded rumors without concrete evidence.

Even so worried, she couldn’t resist stepping into the office during her lunch break, dialed Qin Xiu, hoping to confirm the rumors straight from him.

Unexpectedly, she received confirmation from Qin Xiu.

Of course, Qin Xiu only confirmed the rumors about Yanhuang Group’s withdrawal from the bid, he wouldn’t reveal anything more.

When Yi Wang real estate launched, Master Yanhuang specifically congratulated them; on his return, he even briefed Zhu Qianying about Yi Wang.

At that time, Zhu Qianying didn’t pay attention to this Yi Wang real estate at all. Firstly, it didn’t seem directly related to her.

Secondly, perhaps due to her subconscious view, comparing Yi Wang real estate with Yanhuang Group was like comparing sesame with a watermelon, simply not worthy to mention.

Currently, the reality appeared to contradict her previous assumptions?

After hanging up Qin Xiu’s call, Zhu Qianying barely hesitated and promptly dialed Master Yanhuang’s number.

The number for Master Yanhuang’s private phone hasn’t changed for all these years.

In Zhu Qianying’s phone book, the note for Master Yanhuang is still ’Boss Guimao’.

Although Master Yanhuang’s fastidious character seemed to have vanished, Zhu Qianying still feels that this title suits him best and feels the closest.

Or rather, Zhu Qianying has yet to examine Master Yanhuang’s current status and position in her heart, thus she continues calling him Boss Guimao.

"Ying’er, have you had lunch?" Master Yanhuang asked immediately after picking up the call.

Zhu Qianying checked the time and realized she actually spent more than an hour talking to Qin Xiu unconsciously. By now, lunchtime had already passed.

"Yes, have you eaten?" Zhu Qianying lied.

"Just finished eating. So, you miss me?" Master Yanhuang’s tone was filled with delight, showing his good mood.

These days, the two hadn’t been spending much private time together, and their relationship hadn’t made any concrete progress. However, Master Yanhuang’s casual flirtatious remarks have become increasingly smooth, without any hindrance.

Although Zhu Qianying wasn’t very accustomed to his sweet nothings, she didn’t bother to correct him. Knowing she wouldn’t succeed, she chose to ignore him.

"Have you been busy these few days?" Zhu Qianying carefully phrased her question, scared of saying anything that might inadvertently touch a sore spot for Master Yanhuang.

During her call with Qin Xiu, he didn’t divulge any detailed information, which Zhu Qianying understood. The information was Yan Huang Group’s confidential intel, it really wasn’t appropriate for it to come out from Qin Xiu’s mouth.

However, she is unaware of the actual situation, and thus can’t casually say anything to Master Yanhuang. So, she tried to see if Master Yanhuang would voluntarily tell her something.

Master Yanhuang possibly didn’t realize her concern, he jokingly said from the other side of the call.

"Why, are you worried about me?"

Zhu Qianying, rare as it may be, did not deny, "Yes!"

Master Yanhuang visually seemed a bit taken back. He took a moment before responding cheerfully.

"Don’t worry about me, I’m doing great. Eating well, sleeping well, body’s in excellent shape. Although I can’t physically grow taller, my spirits are high! How about I send you a selfie?"

This time, Zhu Qianying was silent.

Then, as if making up her mind, "Take one!"

Her tone was serious without any intention of making fun of him.

Master Yanhuang on the other end of the line, clearly startled for a while.

"Hold on..."

The line went dead with a busy tone, indicating that Master Yanhuang hung up.

With the call ended, Zhu Qianying couldn’t help but wonder. Did he hang up to take a selfie?

Or was it that he suddenly got busy and had to hang up?

Or was it that he found her boring and hung up?

Or perhaps, he felt a bit embarrassed and hung up?

Just as Zhu Qianying was hesitating whether to call back, her phone rang.

A glance showed Master Yanhuang’s video call invitation.

Accept it, and there was Master Yanhuang, looking sharp in his suit, sitting on his office chair, eyeing her with a glint in his eyes.

"How about that, am I still handsome enough to make people envious?"

Master Yanhuang’s brazen face appeared on the phone screen, but instead of the usual rebuff, Zhu Qianying took a serious look and agreed with him. Indeed, he appears in high spirits and doesn’t look any different from when she saw him a few days ago.

"It’s alright. You’re just barely lookable!" Zhu Qianying nodded.

Master Yanhuang clearly wasn’t satisfied by her response, "What do you mean by barely lookable? Do you have anyone else in your eyes besides me?"

Now, Master Yanhuang’s words contained both ego and unfounded jealousy.

Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at the screen, deciding it would be better to talk serious with this man. Or else, who knows where he would side-track to.

Although she wanted to phrase things more tactfully, she ended up noticing that when dealing with Master Yanhuang, speaking straightforwardly was the best.

"Men who catch the eyes can be seen everywhere. However, besides that, the rumors about Yanhuang Group withdrawing from the bid are everywhere. Is it true?"

Although she has never involved in management and operation of the Yanhuang Group, she can guess the importance of this matter.

If the rumors were true, no matter what the reason for Yan Huang’s withdrawal from the bid, the event would have a significant impact on Yan Huang.

Master Yanhuang restrained his smile, not in a hurry to answer, his dark eyes assuredly met hers through the screen.

"Ying’er, trust me to take care of this issue. Rest assured, neither me nor Yanhuang will suffer the slightest loss from this incident."

Master Yanhuang’s eyes carried a certain confidence which inexplicably calmed her down. With his guarantee, Zhu Qianying’s worries finally subsided.
