Chapter 151: Chapter 107: A Girlfriend’s Duty

After Zhou Yu took his leave, only Qi Sheng and Chu Qing remained in the office.

"President Qi, thank you for choosing me as your dedicated client manager."

Before Zhou Yu left, he had pulled Chu Qing aside for a few words.

She understood the unspoken meaning behind her boss’s words.

She had to satisfy this major client, Qi Sheng, in every possible way.

If she provided good service, her year-end bonus would be substantial, and she’d have a chance at a promotion and a raise.

If she provided poor service, not only would her year-end bonus go up in smoke, but she would also be demoted to a teller’s counter.

To put it bluntly, the bank was never short on beautiful women.

Especially not beautiful women willing to do what it takes.

"You’re very capable, and we’ve always gotten along well. Why would I possibly choose anyone else?"

Qi Sheng didn’t believe that a stunningly beautiful woman who kept entirely to herself could truly exist within the banking system.

Any woman with even a hint of beauty...

...was either claimed by a superior or reserved for a major client.

Beautiful women, no matter the era, were always a scarce resource.

"It’s getting late. Would it be alright if I treated you to dinner?"

Chu Qing glanced at her watch; it was already almost six o’clock.

Just a moment ago, Qi Sheng had politely declined Zhou Yu’s dinner invitation.

She wasn’t sure if she would get the chance to treat a major client with such an astonishing net worth like Qi Sheng to a meal.

"You’re treating me?"

Qi Sheng thought for a moment and didn’t refuse.

"Alright. Let’s have something nourishing today. The weather is too cold right now."

"I know a place with a very good soft-shelled turtle hot pot. Would that be acceptable?"

Chu Qing was quite knowledgeable about Chengdu’s high-end restaurants, and the name of a suitable place immediately came to mind.

"Soft-shelled turtle hot pot?"

Qi Sheng had never actually had it before, and his interest was piqued.

"Sounds good. Go ahead and make a reservation."

Seeing that Qi Sheng had agreed to have dinner with her, Chu Qing quickly contacted Gui Shi Soft-Shelled Turtle Hot Pot, a place she had been to once before, and booked a private room.

"President Qi, is it convenient for you if it’s just the two of us dining?"

Chu Qing asked cautiously after booking the room.

"Why would it be inconvenient?"

Qi Sheng waved his hand with a smile. "It’s just a meal between friends. My girlfriend isn’t that petty."

"Your girlfriend is so lucky to have such an outstanding boyfriend like you."

Chu Qing was also a little curious. Just how beautiful must Qi Sheng’s girlfriend be to capture the heart of a top-tier, rich, and handsome man like him?

"You’re not so bad yourself. I bet a lot of guys are chasing you."

Qi Sheng smiled, turning the banter back on Chu Qing.

"Quite a few, yes, but I’m focused on my career right now and not in the mood for romance."

Chu Qing had clearly taken Zhou Yu’s words to heart, subtly hinting to Qi Sheng that she was currently single.

"Well then, let’s head out now. It’s rush hour, so who knows what time we’ll get to the restaurant."

Qi Sheng didn’t respond to her statement, changing the subject instead.

Chu Qing felt a little frustrated but obediently stood up anyway.

’She hadn’t expected her hint to be so casually ignored by Qi Sheng.’

’But then again, a god-tier man like Qi Sheng, with a net worth in the billions, would naturally never be short on women.’

No matter how confident Chu Qing was in herself, she wouldn’t dare claim she could outshine all the others.

’If a top-tier man like him didn’t have a stunning beauty by his side...’

’...now *that* would be strange.’

An establishment where the bill was over a thousand yuan per person would naturally not have a waitlist like Haidilao.

Upon entering the restaurant, the first thing they saw was a phoenix robe on display, giving off a sophisticated vibe that was impressive even if you didn’t quite understand it.

The restaurant’s design was dominated by a black and red color scheme, exuding a high-class style.

They were led by a server to a private room that could seat ten people.

For just the two of them, it felt a bit too spacious.

"President Qi, please look at the menu. Order whatever you like, and please don’t worry about saving me money."

’Chu Qing naturally understood the need to invest in the relationship.’

’Besides, when she was out dining with a major client like Qi Sheng, the receipts were all reimbursable.’

"Then I won’t hold back."

Qi Sheng looked at the menu. With items easily costing over a thousand yuan, this was truly not a place a salaried worker could afford.

"This calipash is 1,888 for one portion?"

"Yes, it takes a twelve-pound turtle to yield just one pound of calipash, so the price is a bit higher."

A waitress in the private room, wearing a red veil, explained to Qi Sheng with a gentle smile.

"In that case, give us two pounds of the calipash. And a black gold abalone—it’s live, right?"

"Yes, it is. After you place your order, someone will come and slice the abalone for you at your table."

"We’ll have the signature soft-shelled turtle, tripe, A5 snow-flaked Wagyu, three-head fish maw, golden sea cucumber, and a leopard coral trout. One portion of each."

"As for wine, bring a bottle of the 2008 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne, and an ice bucket."

After he finished ordering with a flourish, the price had already exceeded ten thousand yuan.

The bottle of champagne alone was 3,988 yuan.

Neither Qi Sheng nor Chu Qing thought much of the bill.

He was making tens of millions each month from the office building’s rent alone.

And that wasn’t even counting the monthly salary the system gave him.

"Sir, this soft-shelled turtle is four pounds. Is this acceptable?"

A male server knocked and entered, holding a rather heavy, mature soft-shelled turtle as he asked.

"It’s fine."

Qi Sheng merely glanced at it before turning his attention back to sipping the champagne.

He usually drank Perrier-Jouët.

He rarely came across the Taittinger brand.

While waiting for the turtle to cook, the two of them sipped their champagne, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

Chu Qing covertly sized up Qi Sheng. He seemed even more handsome than the last time they met.

’A 90-out-of-100 face like his officially puts him in the god-tier category.’

Not to mention, Qi Sheng also had a superior height of six-foot-two and an astonishing net worth.

’You could say Qi Sheng precisely checked every box on a girl’s list for a potential partner.’

Qi Sheng thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

For someone like him with numerous girlfriends, these highly nourishing ingredients were...
