CHAPTER 1645: CHAPTER 712: SENIOR MI: I MADE LIN JUNIOR KNEEL BEFORE ME AND SING "CONQUER"!

Mi Qin’s frustration and anger were practically oozing from the text.

Lin Baici quickly typed a response.

Lin Xia Dai Yue Gui: Sorry, the company had an urgent issue these past few days, and I’m handling it out of town.

If it was about personal matters, Senior Mi would surely think I’m someone who puts personal issues above work, and what kind of personal matter could be more important than a five-million contract?

While Lin Baici was pondering whether to call and provide a proper explanation, Mi Qin sent a video call.

Lin Baici swiped to answer.

"Lin Junior, you finally decided to show your face?"

Although Mi Qin called him junior, there wasn’t a hint of friendliness in her tone, just full of resentment.

"I truly apologize, my phone just happened to break these past few days!"

Lin Baici invented an excuse.

"No need to explain, I don’t want to borrow your five million!"

Mi Qin wasn’t interested in listening to any explanations.

"Alright!"

Lin Baici nodded.

"..."

Mi Qin thought Lin Baici would try to argue and persuade her, because if she borrowed money, he would have a reason to maintain contact, but now, he readily agreed.

Could it be that he wasn’t playing hard-to-get and that she was overthinking?

Mi Qin suddenly stopped talking. Lin Baici wasn’t familiar with this senior, so he reverted to a colder attitude, making the atmosphere a bit awkward.

"Well, I went to your class looking for you, and they told me you’re a class-skipping maniac!"

Mi Qin brought up a topic.

"Can’t help it, too much work at the company!"

Lin Baici sighed, "I wish I could be bored to death every day, enjoying college life!"

"Switching girlfriends every half month, isn’t it sweet?"

This sentence was Lin Baici’s honest thought. His freshman year was almost over, and he hadn’t lived out the college youth, not having been with a single girl.

"Huh?"

Mi Qin was taken aback.

As the campus belle of Haijing Polytechnic, the men around Mi Qin always tried to show gentlemanly behavior.

Let alone dirty jokes, they wouldn’t even utter a bad word, so Lin Baici’s comment about switching girlfriends every half month truly shocked her.

Why reveal your true feelings so openly?

But Mi Qin wasn’t a kid anymore, and having been exposed to society quite a bit, she already knew that men live for two things.

Money and women.

What?

There’s also gaming?

Put a beautiful woman in black stockings and high heels next to a AAA game, and see what men choose?

If they even glance at the game, it’s disrespectful to the beautiful woman.

Mi Qin suddenly found Lin Baici quite genuine.

"Uh!"

Lin Baici also felt his previous words were too much, and quickly changed his tone, "I was joking, if I meet the right girl, I’d treat her well for a lifetime!"

"Isn’t Zhu Qiunan a good fit?"

Mi Qin asked curiously.

"..."

Lin Baici fell silent.

"A stunning first-year beauty and top student is pursuing you, why don’t you accept?"

Mi Qin didn’t take just anyone’s money. The reason she initially agreed with Lin Baici was because she had a good impression of him and really needed money.

After cooling down the next day, Mi Qin regretted it a bit, then investigated Lin Baici’s background and found out he was being pursued by a beautiful top student.

Honestly, even someone like Zhu Qiunan was a temptation for her.

Such a woman is not just a vase; she can also be a great help in one’s career.

"Because she’s too good, I don’t want to hold her back!"

Lin Baici spoke genuinely.

"You think you’re not worthy?"

Mi Qin’s question was sharp; if Lin Baici answered ’yes,’ it would imply a lack of confidence.

After asking, Mi Qin suddenly felt nervous.

Deep down, she didn’t like timid and insecure men. She believed that even if she were an ugly toad, if given the chance to feast on a swan, she’d seize the opportunity immediately.

Life doesn’t offer many chances; if you encounter one, you have to grab it.

"It’s not about being unworthy, but rather unsuitable!"

Lin Baici shrugged, indicating they weren’t on the same path.

"What does your company do?"

Hearing Lin Baici’s answer, Mi Qin sighed in relief.

Not perfect, but it was acceptable.

"Dealing in artworks, occasionally involving antiques."

The Taboo things definitely count as artworks, so he’s not lying.

Mi Qin expected Lin Baici to say something relate to e-commerce, social media, or even a family business; who’d have guessed it’s dealing in artworks, which made her believe him even more.

"Senior Mi, not to brag, but five million is really small change to me."

Lin Baici said seriously, "My investment in you, firstly, was based on a good first impression, and secondly, I think you’re talented. Maybe I could find a hen that lays golden eggs."

"Pfft, you’re the one laying eggs!"

Mi Qin spat at Lin Baici, instinctively imagining herself squatting and laying golden eggs.

How embarrassing!

The beauty showed a bit of thin anger, her eyes sparkled, possessing a special allure.

Lin Baici found it quite refreshing, as none of the girls he knew dared to get angry with him. Even Gu Xiaoyou, who was a bit mentally unstable, treated him with utmost courtesy.

"Thirdly, it’s to deal with my family. I want to do what I love, not inherit the family business!"

Lin Baici chuckled, "So Senior Mi, you have to work hard and give me a massive dividend at the end of the year!"

"I’m afraid it won’t be possible by the end of the year!"

Mi Qin replied seriously, "Even if we make money, I’d like to continue reinvesting!"

"It’s up to you, you’re the boss, you call the shots!"

Even if Mi Qin lost all the money, it wouldn’t matter to Lin Baici; all he needed was an excuse to fool his mom.

"Are you in a hotel?"
