The moment he saw the front-page headline, Qin Chuan understood what had happened!
It was his fault, really. He had been so preoccupied with the great flood the entire day and even half the night, his mind filled with the disaster situation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, that he had overlooked the firsthand information about real estate reform he had obtained from the government yesterday morning.
Calculating the time, today was precisely the day Ye Qingping had mentioned for the news to be published.
Looking at the large news story that occupied an entire page in his hands, Qin Chuan's gloomy mood, brought on by the disaster, finally began to clear, like the sun breaking through the clouds.
The arm holding the newspaper trembled slightly. This news was too important to him, a matter of lifelong significance.
It was like a stabilizing force, completely anchoring Qin Chuan's reborn life!
At the very least, this beginning was absolutely secure!
As if mirroring Qin Chuan's mood, the rain that had been falling for many days gradually subsided and finally stopped.
By the time Qin Chuan drove to the garment factory, the sky had cleared, and a ray of sunshine appeared.
The long-awaited sunlight spread across the land, illuminating everything with vitality.
As soon as he walked through the office door, a soft, petite figure, filled with excitement, pounced on him like a sloth.
Qin Chuan quickly reached out his arms to support Li Ya’s hips.
"Xiao Chuan!"
"We're rich! We're really rich!!"
Li Ya's face was flushed. Seeing Qin Chuan, she kept repeating this phrase, indicating how excited she was.
Qin Chuan nodded in agreement and pecked Li Ya's lips, "Yes! We're rich!"
Li Ya was truly overjoyed. She hugged Qin Chuan's neck tightly, resting her head against his chest. Listening to his strong, steady heartbeat, she murmured, "My man is truly the best!"
"He succeeds in any business!"
Qin Chuan heard Li Ya's murmurs and felt a surge of pride, his vanity greatly satisfied.
As a man, what could be more fulfilling than receiving the affirmation of the woman he loved? Whether in public or at home, he was second to none.
He was practically a model of a perfect man!
After a long while, Li Ya’s excited emotions finally calmed down.
No one knew that this morning, when she arrived at the office and, as usual, started her day by reading the newspaper, browsing the news, and following national developments.
As soon as she picked up the paper, Li Ya saw the news and thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. She rubbed them several times before finally confirming the authenticity of the news.
This was the reason she had called Qin Chuan earlier, so excited.
"Xiao Chuan, with this news, our real estate project is completely secure!"
After regaining her composure, Li Ya took Qin Chuan's hand and they sat on the sofa.
"Yes, secure! Guaranteed profit, and a big one at that!"
Qin Chuan replied with a smile.
"Xiao Chuan, you're simply a genius!"
Li Ya’s beautiful eyes sparkled with adoration as she gazed at Qin Chuan’s handsome face, falling more in love with him the more she looked.
"When everyone was pessimistic about the future of real estate, you held firm to your convictions and invested in it without hesitation. I don't even know how to describe such vision and insight!"
Li Ya said admiringly, like a devoted fan.
This praise made Qin Chuan feel a little ashamed, a pang of self-reproach.
The reason he dared to do this was solely because he was a reborn individual, possessing decades of life experience and understanding the general trend of national economic development.
It was Li Ya, however, who was the truly remarkable investor, daring to bet on him months ago. She was a born investor!
He remembered Li Ya telling him that she had studied finance abroad and her dream was to be a fund manager.
"Sister, you're actually the truly amazing one!"
Qin Chuan spoke truthfully. "I honestly don't understand how you dared to stake half of your fortune on me back then. I don't think I have that much charm!"
"Who says you don't!"
Hearing the compliment, Li Ya rested her head on Qin Chuan’s shoulder, her face beaming with happiness.
"You probably don't know, but ever since you first appeared before me at the exhibition and successfully helped me resolve the garment factory crisis!"
"Then you helped me strategize, turning the struggling garment factory into a profitable business, and solved so many of my problems!"
"And then you opened such a high-end flagship store, creating multiple sales legends. All of this was enough for me to recognize your extraordinary talent!"
Li Ya’s voice was calm, but she recounted every event that had happened between her and Qin Chuan since they met, as if listing treasures. It was evident that she valued everything that had occurred between them immensely.
Looking at Li Ya, who was earnestly explaining beside him, Qin Chuan felt a warm current enveloping him, making him feel warm and incredibly happy.
This feeling of being valued by the person you like was too wonderful. For a man to have such a woman who loved and cherished him, what more could he ask for in life!
Moved, Qin Chuan couldn't help but hold Li Ya’s delicate body tightly.
"I thought then that I had met the right person in my life!"
Li Ya continued, her eyes like water, incredibly gentle.
"So, when you said you saw potential in real estate, and you were short on cash with no initial capital, I didn't hesitate to put half of my fortune on you!"
"Even if you lost, it wouldn't matter. I would have helped you make a comeback!"
"Because I had already decided then that you were the man of my life!"
Qin Chuan held Li Ya tighter in his embrace. "Sister, thank you!!"
Li Ya smiled, reaching out to gently touch Qin Chuan’s handsome face. "Why are we thanking each other!"
"The results have proven that my judgment was correct!"
"You truly are a genius. Whatever you invest in, it succeeds. First, there was the explosive success of the flagship store, and now the stability of real estate. I believe that once the Meitehao supermarket opens, it will create another legend for our Yongnan County!"
An experienced person once said that when emotions are at their peak, what is the best way to elevate the relationship between two people?
The answer is simple and direct!
So, what happened next unfolded below the paywall, and it was also the first time Qin Chuan and Li Ya experienced the joy of life in the office.
Afterward, Li Ya was utterly embarrassed, her face as red as the evening glow, her small fists repeatedly pounding Qin Chuan's chest.
In broad daylight, the two of them were engaged in intimacy in the office. If anyone found out, how could she ever face anyone again?
Qin Chuan, on the other hand, smiled contentedly, a look of lingering satisfaction on his face.
This was the first time since his rebirth that he had enjoyed life in the office, a moment worth remembering.
