After a few rounds of drinks, Qin Yanan suddenly put down her glass and turned to look at Tang Feng.
“Feng, I have something I want to discuss with you.”
“Is it about our marriage?” Tang Feng, slightly tipsy, spoke without any filter.
“Be serious, I’m talking about important matters,” Qin Yanan glared at him, full of charm.
“Alright, alright, go ahead,” Tang Feng sobered up and responded earnestly.
“I want to give Ya Garden to you,” Qin Yanan revealed something utterly unexpected to Tang Feng.
“What do you mean? Give it to me?” Tang Feng failed to grasp her meaning for a moment.
“It means I don’t plan to run the antique shop anymore. I’ll leave it up to you to manage from now on,” Qin Yanan elaborated.
“Why would you do that?” Tang Feng became even more confused.
The business at Ya Garden was lackluster in the past, but just as it had started to pick up, this woman actually wanted to give it up?
“There are two reasons. First, when I opened this antique shop, it was a spur-of-the-moment decision. I never expected it to make money. With my skills in appraisal and my connections in the antique circle, I’m really not a qualified boss,” Qin Yanan stated her first reason.
Tang Feng had no rebuttal.
Truthfully, Qin Yanan wasn’t quite suited for the antique circle.
The most critical aspect of the antique circle is connections, otherwise, you can’t even find supply channels.
The business at Ya Garden had always been tepid, largely because it lacked good sources of goods.
It wasn’t until Tang Feng joined Ya Garden that he brought in a lot of quality items from Antique Street and opened up a supply line, which finally started to turn things around.
From this perspective, Tang Feng had indeed made significant contributions to Ya Garden.
“The second reason is that you now have the capability to be independent. It doesn’t sit right with me to have you working for me anymore. Instead of that, I might as well give Ya Garden to you. Besides, my focus has recently shifted to the cosmetics company and other industries. I have even less time to run an antique shop,” Qin Yanan said, finishing her second reason, then looking at him with an earnest expression, “Everything I’ve said comes from the bottom of my heart, and I’m not testing you. I hope you will consider it seriously.”
Tang Feng watched her for a long time, pondering for a moment, and eventually nodded, “I can take over Ya Garden, but I can’t just take it for nothing. We should still follow the normal acquisition process.”
“Is that necessary? After all, I don’t need the money,” Qin Yanan took another sip of her drink, appearing indifferent.
Indeed, with her wealth of several billion, a place like Ya Garden really wasn’t much.
“Business is business, if you don’t transfer it at market price, I’d rather not take it,” Tang Feng said resolutely, leaving no room for doubt.
Left with no choice, Qin Yanan finally nodded, “Alright then, Ya Garden is currently valued at about 1.5 billion. Will you pay cash or write an IOU?”
Tang Feng was well aware of the value of Ya Garden; Qin Yanan didn’t ask for too much, she even gave him a friends’ price.
Being located near Antique Street meant the storefront wasn’t cheap.
Plus, with the two to three hundred antiques left in the store and the current brand value of “Ya Garden,” the valuation would have to be at least two billion or more.
But the price she quoted was only 1.5 billion, already a significant discount.
“Mrs. Nan, I feel guilty taking such a big advantage of you. Please, let me have some advantage too, to balance it out,” Tang Feng said, reverting to his old ways as he grabbed Qin Yanan’s hand and placed it on his face.
“Get lost. You want to take advantage of me twice?” Qin Yanan forcefully withdrew her hand.
Since she was somewhat drunk at this point, she pulled back too hard, tipping her stool and beginning to fall backward.
With quick reflexes, Tang Feng reached out to hook her slender waist.
But as he was also a bit tipsy, he stumbled and ended up being pulled down to the floor with her.
“Mmm…”
With Tang Feng’s body heavily on top of Qin Yanan, she let out a moan that seemed both painful and pleasurable.
The sound stimulated Tang Feng, and one hand instinctively touched her smooth thigh.
“Mrs. Nan, I…”
“No, you can’t.”
Qin Yanan’s small hands pushed against him, but her strength was so slight it was almost ticklish.
Tang Feng couldn’t restrain himself any longer, his head slowly approaching her enticing red lips.
Just as he was about to successfully steal the boss’s first kiss.
At that moment, Qin Yanan’s mouth suddenly puffed out, appearing as if she were about to vomit.
Tang Feng was startled and quickly scrambled up from her, “Are you going to throw up? Quickly, go to the bathroom.”
“Giggle, giggle, giggle…”
Unexpectedly, Qin Yanan got up from the ground and laughed breathlessly.
“You tricked me?” Tang Feng was instantly a mix of annoyed and embarrassed.
“Hmph, serves you right for bullying me. You big pervert,” Qin Yanan huffed, hands on her hips.
“Cough cough, I got a bit carried away just now; I couldn’t hold back,” Tang Feng laughed awkwardly.
“Hmph, all lies. You think I don’t know what you have in mind, you little rascal?”
“I’d advise you to give up on that idea early; we’re not suitable for each other,” Qin Yanan said as she straightened up the stool and sat back down.
“What’s not suitable?” Tang Feng suddenly became curious.
“Alas, for people like us, born into such families, marriage isn’t something we decide for ourselves. It’s made out of necessity for the family, set up with other families for political unions,” Qin Yanan sighed, her voice tinged with helplessness.
The speaker might have been unintentional, but the listener took it to heart.
Perhaps she didn’t realize there was anything wrong with what she said, but to Tang Feng, it sounded like she was saying they were from different worlds.
Even though Tang Feng knew there was no malice in her words, it still hurt to hear it.
Indeed, no matter how hard he tried, no matter his achievements.
In front of these scions of superior family backgrounds, he still belonged to a different kind, a nouveau riche.
Climbing from one world to another is not so easy.
