"After the oil is hot, put the shrimp in..."

"I'm scared."

Wu Qiangwei was holding a plate of shrimp, and the oil in the pan was already hot.

But she leaned backward, slowly inching the shrimp closer to the pan.

"What are you afraid of in cooking?"

"I'm afraid the oil will splatter."

"It won't."

"But what if it does?"

Dahai's patience was almost worn out by her.

He walked over, grabbed her hand, and dumped the shrimp from the plate into the pan.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle…

After all that fuss, it was finally time to eat.

Looking at the delicious and fragrant dishes on the table, Wu Qiangwei smiled happily, "It seems pretty good. I didn't expect my first time cooking to turn out this well."

"Haha," Dahai couldn't be bothered to expose her shortcomings.

This is your cooking, huh?

I was the one who guided you through the whole process, all right!

During the meal, Dahai suddenly asked, "Did you have any conflicts with these executives when you invested in this company?"

Wu Qiangwei raised her eyes and shook her head, "No."

Then she paused for a moment and added, "Actually, the potential of this company is quite good, but several major shareholders lack the courage and aren't willing to continue expanding. It's been seven years since its establishment, and there are only three branches."

"My investment this time is quite substantial, mainly to gain management rights. During the negotiations, I also signed an agreement with those shareholders, making sure that the company's decision-making power is mainly in my hands."

Dahai asked, "What about Hu Quan? Is he part of the conservative faction?"

"No, he belongs to the radical faction."

Wu Qiangwei said, "His thoughts align with mine, hoping the company can reinvest its profits to expand the scale and open more branches."

"In the education industry, you need to open more branches. The more you open, the greater the profit. Especially when there are other educational institutions in the local area, you can only grab the market by expanding."

Dahai continued, "What's Hu Quan like as a person?"

Wu Qiangwei thought for a moment and said, "He mainly handles recruiting and training. He's also in charge of branch location selection and some partnership negotiations. Overall, his personal abilities are very strong."

"What about his reputation in the industry?"

"Not bad."

Before investing in this company, Wu Qiangwei had conducted background checks on the main founders of the company.

"That's strange,"

Dahai clicked his tongue, "He's one of the founders of the company, has strong abilities, and has a good reputation in the industry."

"How could such a person suddenly do something like this?"

Gazing at her, Dahai said, "Although you're as beautiful as a goddess and have a stunning figure that makes people fantasize at just one glance, with Hu Quan's financial resources, he wouldn't stoop to drugging you over something as sordid as what happens in bed, right?"

The initial part of his comment made Wu Qiangwei's cheeks flush with embarrassment.

After listening, she also furrowed her brows.

The incident happened so suddenly yesterday that she had no time to think it through rationally.

Now, hearing Dahai's analysis, she too felt something was amiss.

"There is something wrong."

"It's not just something, there's definitely a problem!"

Dahai tapped his chopsticks, "This incident is probably not as simple as it seems."

"He shares your interest in expansion, not conservatism. Under the premise of shared interests, he has no reason or likelihood of doing such a thing."

"Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless, he wanted to use this method to control you!"

"Impossible."

"Indeed, it's impossible," said Dahai. "Even if he really thought that way, he would need to understand your personality and temperament first. If he knew that even if he got you, he wouldn't be able to control you, he definitely wouldn't do such a thing."

"So, that's not his motive."

Dahai furrowed his brows in thought, but despite pondering for a long time, he couldn't come up with an explanation.

At first glance, Hu Quan seemed simply infatuated, bewitched by her beauty.

But upon careful analysis, nothing made sense.

With his status and wealth, he wouldn't stoop to such actions.

Moreover, Wu Qiangwei had just become a shareholder, and it was the best time for the company's development.

Doing such a thing at this time had not a single benefit for the company's growth.

Therefore, there must be other reasons behind this incident.

But Dahai couldn't think of what those might be.

Wu Qiangwei was equally clueless.

Yet in her heart, she quietly became more alert.

She had thought that once this incident was over, with just a bit of precaution, it wouldn't happen again.

But now that she knew the other party had other motives, she could be sure that Hu Quan would definitely take action in the future.

"I didn't realize you think so quickly," Wu Qiangwei said with surprise.

Dahai chuckled, "If I weren't smart, you would have been sullied last night."

Wu Qiangwei pursed her lips and didn't argue.

It was the truth.

Dahai felt that he needed to do something.

Since it was clear Hu Quan wasn't just blindly following his impulses, then he must have further moves planned.

It might seem his threats were effective today.

But since Wu Qiangwei's body apparently wasn't the opponent's goal, his so-called threats wouldn't concern them for long.

Even more so, the opponent might try to eliminate him as the threat.

So, for the sake of Wu Qiangwei as well as his own safety, he had to do something.

Better to take the initiative than to wait passively.

Gradually, a plan formed in Dahai's mind.

However, he didn't share it with Wu Qiangwei.

Telling her would be of no use.

This woman wouldn't be of much help anyway.

Of course, if it involved money, then he would have to tell her.

After dinner, Wu Qiangwei suddenly asked, "Do you have plans this afternoon?"

"Another drinking party?"

"Buying a car."

"You're buying it today?"

"Why not?"

Wu Qiangwei said, "I'm going to change clothes."

"Changing clothes just to buy a car..."

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, go change your clothes."

Wu Qiangwei changed into a pair of jeans, dark blue, tight, making her legs look very shapely.

Dahai couldn't stop sneaking peeks.

Wu Qiangwei raised an eyebrow, "Are you peeking at me?"

"I'm not peeking at you," Dahai staunchly denied.

"Haha," Wu Qiangwei flipped her hair and said, "If you want to look, do it openly. I wear them for men to see."

"..."

In this aspect, Dahai had to give her a thumbs up.

"I suggest you buy a few more pairs of jeans."

"Why?"

"Jeans are practical and they're not easy to take off. If you run into the same situation as last night, it'll take someone a while to get them off."

"You can't get ivory from a dog's mouth!"

Wu Qiangwei grabbed her bag and walked off. In the elevator, she suddenly asked, "Do you like women in jeans?"

Faced with this sudden question, Dahai unthinkingly nodded, "I like... Ah no, what are you talking about, I'm not interested in jeans."

"Haha."
