"The grand prize is a small villa? I have my own small villa now?"

Liu Xin was so shocked she was nearly struck dumb, her face a mask of disbelief. Her heart was thrown into turmoil. Just now, Zhang Bin said he wanted me to build a house, his intentions obviously impure. He was clearly aiming to steal my affections. I didn't agree because I truly don't have the money to build a house. But now, I've actually won the grand prize—a small villa. Isn't this just fulfilling his wish? Could this be fate? Am I destined to be his woman? No wonder, back when he wasn't successful yet, he liked to sneak peeks of me bathing in the creek, and I surprisingly never felt that angry.

As these wild thoughts ran through her mind, she sashayed up to the stage, her slender waist twisting like a spring.

When she took the keys from Zhang Bin, she noticed a wicked glint flash in his eyes. Feeling both shy and thrilled, she whispered in his ear, "I'll lock the doors and windows tight, so don't you try anything."

This beauty really understands my intentions. How clever, Zhang Bin mused to himself, a smug smile spreading across his face. Does she really think locking the doors and windows can keep me out? What a joke. I have a Wall-Piercing Ability, a gift from the heavens for the very purpose of stealing a woman's heart. I can't go against the will of the heavens.

Wen Shanshan teased Liu Xin for a moment before having her give an acceptance speech.

Liu Xin's speech was quite amusing. She said, "Actually, I feel quite comfortable in my shabby old house. If possible, I would have preferred the grand prize to be a kiss from the Chairman. In any case, I am very grateful to the company and to the Chairman for his generosity. I will work even harder. I also hope the company is even more prosperous next year, with even richer prizes. Thank you, everyone."

"HAHAHA…"

"GIGGLE... GIGGLE..."

All the employees were amused and burst into laughter. Even Liu Ruolan and Xiao Fang were doubled over, shaking with laughter.

Once the prize draw concluded, the feasting and drinking continued.

The table where Zhang Bin sat was filled almost entirely with beautiful women: Liu Ruolan, Xiao Fang, Liu Xin, Su Man, Wen Shanshan, and several other high-level female executives. Zhang Bin felt magnificent, like a bee in a field of flowers. All these beauties gathered together, each with her own unique charm, and all of them were looking at him with eyes full of affection. It was enough to make his blood race.

Many employees came over to offer toasts. Zhang Bin showed no fear, downing each glass as it came. He was a powerful Cultivator; how could he possibly get drunk?

When the stream of well-wishers thinned out, Su Man said to Zhang Bin, "Xiao Bin, you can see for yourself that the food and beverage industry is a great business to be in because of the cash flow. You don't have to worry about collecting payments, and for anyone and everyone, eating is a top priority. The Qingshan Hotel Group has reached new heights thanks to our partnership. However, we've now hit a bottleneck. To break through and multiply our income several times over, we need you to step in."

"You're such a great beauty, why do you need to earn so much money? Could you even spend it all in your lifetime?" Zhang Bin asked, staring at the bewitching, fairy-like woman in astonishment.

"I just enjoy the thrill of making money," Su Man said with a charming laugh. "Besides, in the future, I can use my wealth to help my boyfriend so he doesn't have to worry about money."

"Being your boyfriend would be pure bliss! Chairman, you need to hurry up and win President Su over," Xiao Fang said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, I support the Chairman making a move, too! We should keep it in the family, as they say. How can we let some other man get such a great deal?" Liu Ruolan added with a giggle.

"Giggle... Only the Chairman is worthy of being President Su's boyfriend," Wen Shanshan said, her face a mixture of envy and jealousy. She was, of course, jealous of Su Man's stunning beauty and immense fortune. Hadn't even Xiao Fang and Liu Ruolan just given Zhang Bin their blessing to pursue Su Man?

"Chairman, you now have official permission to woo her. It's time to show us what you've got," Liu Xin chimed in teasingly.

"Hehe… I do happen to be short on cash, and I still owe three billion USD. Plus, I need to participate in the Hero Auction next year, which requires a vast amount of wealth." A wicked grin spread across Zhang Bin's face. He fixed his gaze on Su Man and chuckled strangely, "Could it be that you're the beauty sent to me from heaven?"

"Oh, stop it! Are you all ganging up on me? Bullying a poor outsider?" Su Man was not one to be easily bullied. She immediately launched a sharp counterattack. Her single sentence was enough to make Liu Xin and Wen Shanshan, who both had crushes on Zhang Bin, blush crimson.

Even Liu Ruolan and Xiao Fang felt a little bashful. It was an open secret that they were Zhang Bin's girlfriends, but no one had ever said it out loud. Today, however, Su Man had brought it right out into the open.

Only Zhang Bin was thick-skinned enough to handle it. He smirked and said, "Once you become my girlfriend, won't you be part of the family, too?"

"I have no intention of becoming your girlfriend," Su Man shot back, her face flushing as she shot him a fierce glare. "Just tell me, are you going to help multiply the hotel's profits or not? Don't forget, you own 49% of the Qingshan Hotel Group's profits. You're a major shareholder too."

"Are you asking me to become a chef at the hotel?" Zhang Bin asked with a mischievous smile.

"HAHAHA…"

"GIGGLE... GIGGLE..."

Everyone burst into hearty laughter at his words.

"When did I ever ask you to be a chef?" Su Man retorted with feigned anger. "I'm asking you to find a way to grow more vegetables. As long as you can supply 15,000 kilograms of vegetables daily, our profits will definitely multiply."

Because Father Zhang was planting a large number of winter melons, fewer vegetables were naturally being grown, and the supply had barely increased. As a result, they still only had a few hundred kilograms a day. Every guest who had tasted those vegetables eagerly hoped to have them more often. Su Man had lost count of how many times she had been pestered by wealthy clients over the vegetable shortage, but she still had no solution.

"Supply 15,000 kilograms of vegetables a day? How is that possible?" Zhang Bin was astounded and shook his head repeatedly. He didn't think it was a good idea at all. Growing vegetables was quite troublesome. It required a significant amount of Spiritual Energy and manpower—far more complicated than cultivating winter melons.

Extremely frustrated, Su Man continued trying to persuade him, but Zhang Bin remained indifferent and unmoved.

Finally, she played her trump card. Leaning in, she whispered in his ear, "If you agree, I'll let you continue to... examine my chest."

She hadn't let Zhang Bin check on her in some time, afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and would give herself to him in a moment of weakness. That would be a huge loss, especially without getting any kind of promise from him. To increase the hotel's profits, however, she had to use this as bait.

Zhang Bin's eyes instantly lit up. He puffed out his chest and declared with an air of self-righteous gravity, "I am also an owner of the Qingshan Hotel! Increasing its profits is my unshirkable duty!"
