Chapter 5: A Waist That Catches the Eye

Plot No. 1 is right on the edge of the Shanghai Hong Kong Planning Zone, but its location is optimal. It would be most valuable to develop it purely as a cargo port.
Building a comprehensive tourism and trade port would be a mistake.

Shen Muyan’s words didn’t reveal any nervousness or flaws, her responses were fluent, and her face always held a proper and gentle smile.

Agreeing with her contract, Qin Yanzhou opened his computer to the Plot No. 1 RS image.
The winding hills and the coastline are perfect for blocking strong winds and waves. Even if a typhoon hits, the damage will be minimal. Aside from the initial investment, its disadvantages are all resistant.
The construction period investment can guarantee a return.
After the official launch, the final period…

Shen Muyan had stayed up late last night calculating the investment and return cycle of famous European and American ports. Based on the current economic development trend, the two times are already there.

For the Shen family, money wasn’t a problem. Now that the Qin family was willing to participate, there was no need to discuss issues like capital turnover. Beyond commercial interests, the return cycle is too long, Qin would definitely not want to get involved.

Qin Yanzhou opened the documents Shen Muyan handed over. The paper flipped slowly, his expression didn’t change at all.

Satisfied or not, it couldn’t be seen from the outside.
Time seemed to stand still, the office was extremely quiet.

The secretary of the president’s office delivered two cups of coffee, according to Qin Yanzhou’s preference. Shen Muyan didn’t like bitter coffee, so she was surprised. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Qin Yanzhou shifted his gaze, glancing lightly at Shen Muyan. “Your reaction time is quite long.”
He asked, “Do you like coffee?”

“I like coffee without sugar.” Shen Muyan put the porcelain cup back on the tray, staring straight at Qin Yanzhou as she answered.

Then she immediately asked back, “Mr. Qin, are you done yet?”
Her voice was sweet, like a gentle breeze wrapping around you, a slight distraction and you’d be lost.
If Qin Yanzhou was truly interested, he wouldn’t have been staring at this half-finished plan for so long. She was sure of this, but he hadn’t reached that point yet.
“Since Ms. Shen has never been involved in this type of project, it’s a good chance to get some experience. I’d like you to personally write a complete plan and submit it to me.”
“Deadline is the 1st, any later than that, you’re out.”

…

Before Shen Muyan could speak, Qin Yanzhou continued to add.
His attitude was firm, his words were concise, rigorous, and not allowing for refusal.
“I’m not satisfied with this plan, I hope Ms. Shen can write one that won’t disappoint me.”
It was too obvious, he wanted her to complete this plan, and moreover, it had to be on par with this one, it needed to be innovative.

Shen Muyan put away the folder, muttered to herself twice, and mumbled silently:
“The 1st is the deadline, how ruthless!”
“It’s just the time I’ve given you to write.”
“Even Professor Bosner isn’t this crazy!”

Shen Muyan’s originally docile face showed worry. Qin Yanzhou’s tone was calm, his raised eyebrows exuded pressure.
“Satisfied?”

“Write it. If you dare to be satisfied with the Qin family’s work, no project in Plot No. 1 will be limited to you. There’s no need for you to waste money.”

This was the first time Shen Muyan had been so passive.
The dignified Shen Qianqian, why was she so stifled and unable to even act out? So frustrating.

Qin Yanzhou’s sharp eyebrows swept across Shen Muyan’s figure. After finishing the business, he finally had time to ponder her.

Shen Wen was meticulously crafted, she was full of satisfaction just now but held back from saying it herself. She was a bit like the old fox Shen Yunze, her younger sister was obedient.
She was just naive, easy to deceive.
Easier to lose.

He wasn’t dissatisfied with this plan, he just wanted to see if she was a rabbit or a fox.
There was no need to write it, he already had the answer.

Because the topic was limited to the plan, the entire conversation only lasted half an hour. Shen Muyan held the folder and got up to leave. Qin Yanzhou prepared to continue handling his work.
He accidentally saw her taking a small sip of coffee across from him. She raised her head, Shen Muyan was just at the corner, her back was slightly bent, her frame, her slender waist, he felt like he could grasp it.

She disappeared behind the bookshelf before he lowered his gaze again.
His thoughts were interrupted, it was difficult to immerse himself in work again. The coffee went down his throat, Shen Muyan had said it was bitter, he hadn’t noticed before.
Now, it somehow felt different.
Strange.

But Qin Yanzhou wouldn’t waste time thinking about such irrelevant matters. He tugged at his collar, his mind stayed on the English document on the computer screen.

A while later, the secretary came to collect the coffee.
Mr. Qin usually liked to use coffee to clear his mind, so the secretary didn’t refill it without being told.

In the company building, Shen Muyan carefully reviewed the complete plan prepared by the Shen family after getting into the car. She felt it was quite wrong, and she had also given it to her brother.
Now, even racking her brains wouldn’t satisfy Qin Yanzhou.
Forget it, she would do a real inspection in the afternoon, maybe she would get some inspiration.

At two in the afternoon, Shen Yunze was just having breakfast when he came over, he quickly called Shen Muyan to find out what was going on.

When he heard that Qin Yanzhou wanted her to write a plan, he was furious.
“Yan Yan, is that old fox playing tricks on you? Is it difficult?”

He was probing, and sure enough, the famous Mr. Qin was indeed ruthless and guarded.
Shen Yunze took a deep breath and called Qin Yanzhou. As soon as the other side picked up, he couldn’t wait to ask, “Are you making things difficult for my sister?”

Qin Yanzhou calmly swirled his glass of red wine, casually flipping through some European border development project materials sent today. His legs were crossed, his aura was domineering.
He didn’t let Shen Yunze’s agitated voice get to him, he just asked lightly, “Reporting?”
“You’re asking me, my sister is so delicate?”

“My sister’s mood is more stable, to be precise, she’s more qualified.”
The mellow red wine had a slight bitterness, a completely unmasked sigh came from the other side.
His always urgent and slow speaking pace was especially torturous, making it difficult to guess what the speaker was thinking.

Before Shen Yunze could retort, Qin Yanzhou hung up the phone.
