Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1097 You Are Mine Tonight
After eating the tuna slices, Qin Manyan took a sip of red wine, tapped her lips lightly with her napkin, and then the highball glass in her hand flickered under the light.

Under the table, she tapped Qingyun's calf with her high-heeled shoes hooked on her toes. She pursed her lips and looked at him, without saying a word, but with a beautiful smile.

Emperor Yun felt that this woman didn't look like a good person at all.

It makes people feel itchy.

In the flickering candlelight, Qin Manyan was incredibly beautiful, and every subtle movement seemed to pluck Qingyun's heartstrings.

Those big almond eyes sparkled charmingly under the candlelight, her red lips were slightly pursed, and she was smiling, as if telling a silent secret.

Her beauty is not just about the gorgeous appearance, but also about the charm that radiates from the inside out, which makes people intoxicated.

Emperor Yun was mesmerized and was firmly attracted by her gaze. After all, this was his white moonlight in past and present life.

An indescribable charming atmosphere slowly flowed between the two of them.

He knew that this woman always had a way to make him completely immersed in her world.

The little feet under the table rubbed gently on his calves, and her beautiful eyes sparkled.

Qing Yun understood, put down the knife and fork in his hand, turned his gaze to Qin Manyan, and asked softly,

"You asked Sister Qiu to come meet me. I guess you're not planning to cooperate with that restaurant, right?"

The chairman must be sensible.

Finish the chat soon and get down to business!

The bad man took the initiative to break the silence, causing the empress to nod with a smile, and then shake her head.

In the confused eyes of Emperor Yun, a sly look flashed across her face, and she began to explain,

“The Jean-Georges Group, where Miss Qiu works, has taken a fancy to the old building at No. 3 Zhongshan East st Road and wants to open a store in it.

The original property rights of that building belonged to the Lion City Giti Group..."

Listening to Qin Manyan's chattering, Emperor Yun gradually figured out the whole story.

Founded in the 40s, Singapore's Giti Group is a large diversified group with businesses across multiple industries.

In the soybean battle a few months ago, Giti Group stood on the wrong side and its agricultural sector suffered a heavy blow. The huge losses from the sudden liquidation affected the group itself and it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

At the critical moment, under the instruction of the Chinese government, Hillhouse Group launched a merger and acquisition of the agricultural sector of Giti Group and used spot goods to help Giti Group close its positions.

Giti took advantage of the opportunity to withdraw from the agricultural sector and instead focus on industrial products sectors such as tires and daily necessities.

This building at No. 3 Zhongshan East st Road was a gift from Giti to Houpu, and it eventually became owned by Qin Manyan.

Qing Yun then realized that the "No. 3 Zhongshan East st Road" that Qin Manyan mentioned was the famous "No. The Bund" in the future.

After understanding what happened, he still looked at Qin Manyan in confusion, "So... you are planning to open a catering company?"

Generally speaking, this kind of landmark old building will never be used for real estate investment.

Owning a landmark is a symbol of strength and status that can be passed down from generation to generation.

In Qingyun's opinion, this building is worth it.

However, this is nothing more than renting it out and earning some rent.

All I want is fame.

The little princess Qin Manyan has always been very arrogant and would never do anything like asking the tenants to cook a meal for her.

The favors and face of the rich and beautiful women in the world are not used in this way. They are not that cheap.

Upon hearing this, Qin Manyan rolled her eyes at him unhappily and began to tutor him.

Lin Dexiang, the founder of Giti Group, was originally from Putian, Fujian Province, and had been doing business in the Thousand Islands Monkey Kingdom.

After the crisis, he moved his industries to Singapore and also made large investments in the country, making him a patriotic overseas Chinese.

Her father said that there are many such overseas Chinese businesses in Singapore and other Southeast Asian regions, including quite a few semiconductor companies.

Lin Dexiang can serve as a bridge because of his excellent interpersonal relationships.

The building at 'No. 3, Zhongshan East st Road' was originally intended by Giti Group to be used as its headquarters in Huating, but now Giti feels that there is no other way to use it, so it was reported.

“Brother, this old western-style building is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in our family. If I want to give it back as a favor… Honestly, I can’t bear to part with it.

But you can't not return it. Lin Dexiang is indeed worth getting to know. His connections in Southeast Asia are very useful to us.

However, the property rights of No. 5 East st Road next to it, which was the former Maritime Administration Building, are now in the hands of the Huating Shipping Company.

I was wondering, can we talk to Huating and buy that building?

We can rent it to Qiu Qiong and others, or introduce a few more restaurants to make it the most luxurious restaurant gathering place on the Bund. This will be an invisible reputation for us..."

After hearing this, Qingyun suddenly realized.

Qin Tianchuan's intention was to find an opportunity to return the building to Lin Dexiang. In this way, he could make friends with Lin Dexiang and then with the overseas Chinese, which would be of great help to Qingyun's future.

But Qin Manyan was reluctant to part with it, as she felt it was like a family heirloom.

Well, he couldn't bear to do that either.

On the Bund, a historical and cultural symbol of China's economic center, there is a building belonging to a family. Who can refuse it?

And Qin Manyan's suggestion...

Historical landmarks are not so easy to come by.

Even though he has made a lot of contributions to Huating, he is still not qualified.

After all, this is the Bund!
Emperor Yun's eyes were rolling around.

so close!

Damn, it’s been too long since I was reborn!
I forgot a lot of things!
If Qin Manyan hadn't mentioned this today, he would have forgotten that there is still money to be made in these Southeast Asian countries.

Singapore and Malaysia, in particular, actually have very complete semiconductor industry chains. Although most of them are branches of European and American companies, there are also many local supporting companies.

There are many Chinese companies among them.

There is no way. Perhaps it is because of their intellectual advantage. When Chinese people do business in Southeast Asia, they often accidentally occupy the top ten or top twenty positions in any country.

So it is inevitable that they are hated by the locals.

However, this made it easier for him to poach people.

As early as the 70s, Singapore, one of the four Asian Tigers, vigorously developed the semiconductor industry to undertake the first round of industrial transfer from America.

In the semiconductor supply chain, back-end packaging and testing has a lower reliance on technology than front-end links and is a labor-intensive industry. Coupled with various preferential policies, packaging and testing has become the main purpose for large manufacturers to rush to Singapore.

The same is true in Malaysia.

The industrial transfer of a superpower requires several small countries to take over.

Today, these two places have formed a clustering effect of front-end wafer manufacturing factories and back-end packaging and testing.

However, the shift in the global industrial chain is inevitable.

Qing Yun knew very well that there was a historical stage in his previous life when the electronic product manufacturing industry began to shift to China, and Singapore and Malaysia were simultaneously clearing out the semiconductor manufacturing industry.

Especially the closed beta testing phase.

In the first dozen years of the century, Singapore's Temasek was frantically withdrawing from this industry.

It was not until the relationship between the two major economies became strained that, due to geopolitical factors, Southeast Asia, with its relatively cheap labor costs, re-invested in the development of the semiconductor industry. Through policy guidance, financial support and other measures, it was committed to achieving industrial upgrading, hoping to have the best of both worlds and become a major hub for the semiconductor supply chain in Asia and even the world.

Since Qing Yun has been reborn, he will naturally not give them this opportunity.

And what’s great is that whether it’s Singapore or Malaysia, because they are countries in the Asian channel and are also countries within the Confucian cultural circle, they dare not be on the list of contracting parties to the Wassenaar Arrangement.

This gives Qingyun a lot of room to maneuver.

Harvest what should be harvested, and dig what should be dug.

As for the building Qin Manyan mentioned...

Emperor Yun said that he was determined to win this!

And the certificate that I have on me will have to be returned sooner or later, this is inevitable.

Rather than...

Use this certificate to change the building?

The country is actually in a difficult position to collect his ID.

He has made contributions to the country, but he received it for no reason. It's a bit disheartening no matter how you look at it.

Or... Yanei, you should do what a Yanei should do, and then the country will take back this certificate?
But, is this... okay?
Is it too much?

Seeing Qingyun frowning and thinking, a smile flashed in Qin Manyan's eyes.

She stood up lightly, like an elegant cat, slid to the coffee table, picked up his cigarette case, and returned to Qingyun, sitting lightly on his lap.

She placed a cigarette between her lips, lit it with a lighter, and then gently put it to Qingyun's lips. Then she put her arms around her brother's neck, her big almond eyes sparkling and her face full of a flattering expression.

This cute little money-grubber look made Qingyun couldn't help but laugh.

He scratched her nose, with a look of fondness in his eyes.

"I need to ask grandpa for his opinion on this matter."

Emperor Yun pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

When Qin Manyan heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

She looked at Qingyun in confusion and asked hesitantly, "Will Grandpa agree?"

I'm afraid not...

Qin Manyan felt more fear and respect for her brother's grandfather than love and closeness to him.

In Qingyun's narration, she found it difficult to describe the old man with adjectives like kind.

On the contrary, the old man's ruthless and cruel character made Qin Manyan want to drag Qingyun away.

She wouldn't let her brother be sacrificed for some reason.
This is her husband!

Qing Yun chuckled, a sly look flashing in his eyes, "What I want is for him to disagree."

When Qin Manyan heard this, she was a little confused at first, but soon her eyes lit up and she quickly understood the implication of Qing Yun's words.

Exactly!

It’s exactly what I want!
Take that book back quickly!
Do not care!
Moreover, she immediately thought of another level.

Without that notebook, Brother Chou would lose that identity, and it would be less natural for others to ask him to do anything!

The empress excitedly kissed Qingyun on the face twice to express her excitement.

"Hubby, you are so smart!"

Her kisses were like the touch of a butterfly, and they seemed even more passionate due to her excitement.

Emperor Yun had never had any resistance to Qin Manyan. When the big demon kept rubbing against him, it was natural that the thunder in the sky would stir up the fire in the earth.

Every kiss she gave him seemed to ignite his passion.

Qin Manyan felt it instantly.

She moved her lips closer again and bit his lips gently. The empress gently stroked his chest with her fingers without saying a word. Her eyes were full of charm, teasing and temptation.

How could Qingyun stand this little coquettish expression?

He stood up and picked her up with swift and powerful movements.

Qin Manyan let out a light cry, followed by a series of silver bell-like laughter.

Her body nestled lightly in his arms, her arms tightly around his neck, and then she touched his Adam's apple lightly as if she was trying to commit suicide.

The provoked Emperor Yun strode towards the bedroom. He kicked the door open with one foot and then closed it with his heel.

……

After all, it is a foreign festival. No matter how magical the city is, there will be no fireworks show on this day, and naturally no sound of cannons.

However, this regret was made up by the two people in the room.

After calming down, the two spread the cushions on the ground, rolled up the duvet around themselves, huddled together, looked at the night view downstairs and chatted casually.

The hotel is located in the prosperous area of ​​​​Huating City Center, more than 150 meters high, like a shining pearl inlaid in the heart of the city.

At this moment, at around ten o'clock in the evening, the streets were already shrouded in the carnival atmosphere of Christmas Eve.

Downstairs, in the bustling crowd, a group of young people were chasing and playing with each other, holding colorful inflatable hammers.

Their laughter and screams added infinite vitality to this special night.

Every swing of the inflatable hammer was accompanied by shouts of joy, as if the entire city had turned into a huge amusement park and everyone was enjoying the joy of the festival.

Qin Manyan leaned on her brother's shoulder, looking at the lively scene outside with interest, with a hint of longing in her eyes.

Her figure appeared particularly soft under the light, with her long hair falling gently, casting a faint shadow.

Qing Yun pecked her little face gently and asked softly, "Do you want to experience it? Change your clothes and let's go."

After all, Qin Manyan was only 18 years old at the moment. She was dragged into the mortal world by him and matured quickly because of starting a business.

In fact, she lacks a lot of the happiness that is natural for her age.

Emperor Yun didn't want to say any nonsense like "young people should enjoy themselves while they are at the age they should enjoy themselves."

Decadence or seriousness, these are all self-choices. The most important thing is to choose the lifestyle you like from the bottom of your heart.

No one says you have to struggle, and no one says you have to lie down.

As long as you are happy and don't regret anything, that's enough.

The reason why life is full of unknowns and infinite possibilities, and why it is so brilliant, is because these stars shine with different lights.

There are many stories and people who love life. They have different professions and ages, but one thing is the same:
They are all at different ages, enjoying the best years of their lives.

No matter what age you are, you can live a wonderful life.

But at this moment, Qing Yun sincerely hopes that his woman can enjoy the freshness and surprises brought by her every age as much as possible.

Only with a pair of gentle hands can the flower of a woman be carefully cared for, so that the branches will be filled with fragrance and the flower will not be like a dream.

This is what a man should do.

However, Qin Manyan pouted her lips, a hint of mischief flashed in her eyes, and finally shook her head.
"Forget it, it's late at night, I won't cause trouble for others.

Besides, it's really unsafe. Brother, a son of a rich family should not sit in the hall."

It's not that she's arrogant, but with her looks and figure, she would be the source of trouble in such a situation.

When the law does not hold everyone responsible, some people will be very "brave and fearless".

Why bother looking for something to do when someone else takes advantage of you?

Qing Yun laughed and suggested, "How about we go home and play later and invite them all over?"

Qin Manyan turned around after hearing this, wrinkled her nose and snorted twice, with a cunning look in her eyes.
"I thought I didn't know what you wanted to do, didn't you? Dream on! You are mine tonight."

Women are all good at changing their faces, especially women from Western Shu.

After pinching him hard, she continued, "Why, you think those sisters are lonely during the holiday today, so you want to accompany them? Or do you want to take on six of them tonight?"

Qing Yun looked at her innocently and defended herself, "Can I say I haven't thought about it? I just want you to experience this kind of happiness."

Qin Manyan sneered, obviously not buying his explanation, "Have you ever thought about it? Do you think I don't know your intention of installing tatami in the starry sky ceiling on the top floor of the villa?"

She said she was just too lazy to expose him.

Only Su Daji would fall for that kind of trick.

In the future, the children will put their heads together and look up at the starry sky...

I'm afraid the mothers of the children looked up first!

When Emperor Yun saw that his thoughts had been exposed by her, he could only laugh and admit that his wife still understood him.

Qin Manyan poked his chest with her finger and said unhappily, "Humph! You're lucky in this life. In the next life, if you're the woman and I'm the man, I'll find six too!"

Qing Yun was furious when he heard this and slapped her on the butt, "Dream on!"

Qin Manyan rubbed her butt with her backhand and snorted proudly.

Suddenly, she thought of something and burst into laughter.

Qingyun was confused by her laughter and didn't know what she was laughing at.

Qin Manyan almost laughed herself to death, and spoke incoherently, "Brother, tell me, if you were a girl in your next life and the six of us were all boys, how would you bear it?"

That picture is so beautiful...

Qingyun took a breath of cold air when he heard this. How could this woman have such a dirty mind now!
So dirty!
He opened his mouth wide and sucked hard on her shoulder, then said angrily, "No, you will be bullied by me for the rest of your lives!"

Qin Manyan turned her head to look at the red mark on her shoulder, rolled her eyes, and then stretched out her little hand to pull his face.

"You're dreaming! In your next life, those five people should die as far away from me as possible! Don't come to compete with me again! Do you hear me?"

Their laughter and playfulness echoed in the room. Although the outside world was bustling, at this moment, there was only each other in their little world.
