Chapter 263 Want to Cooperate? (1/2)
Han Bing had arrived at Hangzhou.
Qin Sheng was not very surprised when he received her phone call. After all, he had discussed it with Han Bing before. Later, Hao Lei and Han Bing talked about it again, but Han Bing did not elaborate further. But no one knew that she would just turn up, without saying anything.
Qin Sheng did not know how to respond to Han Bin’s love, though he understood everything. He had never thought about being in love with anyone, and it was unfair to both Lin Su and Han Bing. He just hoped that Han Bing could forget about the past, or meet someone better.
Anyway, Han Bing was in Hangzhou now. As a friend, Qin Sheng needed to see her. So he went to Han Bing’s place in Hangzhou with Chang Baji and Hao Lei. Han Bing was now living in a high-end community.
It was a house owned by Han Bing’s friend. It was located on the bank of West Lake, so she had a beautiful view, whenever she opened the door. Though she had arrived at Hangzhou only this morning, her room had already been cleaned by someone, and she could move in directly.
Han Bing was unpacking her things, when Qin Sheng and his fellows knocked at the door. Han Bing was happy to see Qin Sheng again, and said, “Now I’m back with the team, are you happy with that?”
Hao Lei had known Han Bing for a long time, and was one of her closest friend, so he said happily, “Welcome to beautiful Hangzhou.”
Qin Sheng said, “Why did you come over without letting us know in advance?”
“Because I wanted to surprise you”, Han Bing, who had dolled herself up today, smiled and said. Her eyes were gentle, when she looked at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng said coldly, “Not a surprise, but a scare.”
“You are so boring! Don’t you want me to come to Hangzhou? Don’t worry, I will not bother your peaceful life.” Han Bing’s outburst made Qin Sheng embarrassed.
Chang Baji went to the balcony to enjoy the beautiful view of West Lake, after saying hello to Han Bing. This city was famous for its West Lake. He wondered what the city would look like, if there was no West Lake.
“I called you a few days ago. But you did not say anything. I thought you are not coming to Hangzhou.” Hao Lei tried to help Qin Sheng.
Hao Lei was in a good mood these days. He was not as bored as before, because he had Qin Sheng to talk to. Maybe it was because he went to Shanghai with Qin Sheng, and did not have too many friends at that time, so his life was centered around Qin Sheng. He would do whatever Qin Sheng told him to do. People around them knew that Qin Sheng and Hao Lei were friends. But a person who was not familiar with them, might think that Hao Lei was just Qin Sheng’s helper. Or, maybe, he would only look up to Qin Sheng, what he did, who his friends were. Hao Lei was a little bit lacking in confidence. He seldom talked when Qin Sheng was around him, though he was familiar with Qin Sheng’s friends.
Qin Sheng didn’t notice this until Lin Su told him casually, a few days ago. She said that he and Hao Lei did not give the impression of being friends, but more like a boss and a subordinate. Hao Lei was silent in Qin Sheng’s presence, and he would agree with everything Qin Sheng said.
Qin Sheng then realized that this was not right. He thought he had ignored Hao Lei’s feelings. So he talked to Hao Lei for a while. It would not be a problem, if he had talked to someone else, but they were friends, and they needed to relax. Hao Lei didn’t take it as a problem. But he changed his way of dealing with different things, after his talk with Qin Sheng.
Han Bing smiled when she heard what Hao Lei said, “You are all in Hangzhou. I feel bored when I’m alone in Shanghai”.
“How about your company?” Qin Sheng asked. After all, Han Bing’s design company was doing well, and it was what Han Bing liked to do.
Han Bing shook her head and said, “Don’t worry about that. I have made all the arrangements. I will open a branch office in Hangzhou. We have many clients in Hangzhou, but it will be great if you can introduce more clients to me.”
Since Han Bing had already made her own arrangements, Qin Sheng did not comment further. It was Han Bing’s choice. He could not stop her unless she was willing to do that.
It was already lunch time, after they chatted for a while. They found a restaurant near the community to have lunch. Qin Sheng and his friends left after lunch, as Han Bing had plans to meet some friends in the afternoon.
Hao Lei and Chang Baji went back to the office, and Qin Sheng went to Guangyin LIVE first. Guangyin LIVE was closed for renovation works. Yu Fengzhi was in charge of everything, and Guangyin LIVE would reopen in the middle of next month. She also contacted some performance companies, and was selecting bands for every month, with Yu Yixiao. Yu Yixiao would be checking the quality of music.
Qin Sheng went to brother Luo’s office where he stayed in Guangyin LIVE for a while. Today brother Luo had something to discuss with him. He said he wanted Qin Sheng to meet his friend. Yang Deng would be there too, since he was the one who introduced brother Luo and Qin Sheng to each other.
When Qin Sheng arrived at the private club at Bei Shan road, the others were already there, waiting for them. Yang Deng said this club was an exclusive one, it was not open to everyone. There were many precious wine stored in the club. People had to first join this club, if they wanted to be in the same circle as Third Master Wu.
A beautiful female manager led Qin Sheng to the cigar room. Palls of smoke hung thickly in the air, when he stepped into the room, and it was mixed with the fragrance of different cigars. With the exception of brother Luo and Yang Deng, there were two other men, who were chatting and laughing.
“Hey, Qin Sheng, you are here. Come and have a seat.” Brother Luo waved to him casually. He did not get up, because he treated Qin Sheng as a friend.
