Urban God-level Youth

Qin Hao curiously asked, "Where is Mr. He going for dinner?"

He Qizhi did not answer but counter-asked, "You and Tingting aren't together, are you?"

Qin Hao hadn't been alone with He Tingting these days: "No, she's in the lab, and she might finish work late."

He Qizhi smiled and said, "Great, just come by yourself tonight. I'll wait for you in room 1601 at the Innsil Hotel."

After hanging up the phone, a glint of sharpness passed through Qin Hao's eyes. It was obvious that He Qizhi didn't want He Tingting to know about this, and inviting him to dine at the Innsil Hotel seemed excessive.

He felt that it must be related to Ye Xiaolu, and it was very likely that she was the one orchestrating everything behind the scenes.

What does she want by inviting me to dinner? There must be something going on.

While he was thinking, Chang Jing walked into the room, "Mr. Qin, the funds of Xinghai Company are almost depleted these days."

It was already the end of March, and this month Xinghai Company's profits had been nearly a hundred billion, but he had spent it all on purchases, leaving almost no working capital.

There are sufficient funds in Xingyu Network Communication Company, but since they are not the same company, the funds cannot be transferred arbitrarily.

Qin Hao transferred one hundred billion into the company's account: "Currently, we've spent a hundred billion on purchasing various equipment and materials, right?"

Chang Jing replied, "Yes, about that, following your instructions to increase the production of robots and the research funding for the labs, etc., the spending needs to be at least several billion each month."

Qin Hao said, "I've already transferred the money you spent; just ask me for reimbursement when purchasing equipment and materials from now on, and don't use the funds from Xinghai Company anymore."

After finishing his statement, he continued, "There might be more people coming these days, so Mr. Chang, it'll be a bit of a hassle for you."

Chang Jing gave him a look, "You're free anyway, can't you come and help? It's your company after all."

...

Exiting the company, Qin Hao said to Leng Xuan, "Head to the Innsil Hotel."

On the way, Qin Hao called Han Meng at home, "Meng, I'll be eating out tonight. No need for you guys to wait for me for dinner."

"Alright, Xiao Hao, come back early then."

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao pondered over the dinner He Qizhi was inviting him to. There was no doubt the person behind it was Ye Xiaolu, because there was no need for He Qizhi to do this; he could have just called him home.

But now, he actually invited him to the Innsil Hotel, which said it all.

Upon arriving at the Innsil Hotel, Qin Hao said to Leng Xuan, "You and Han Zhuang come up with me, the others wait here."

Entering the hotel, they took the elevator to the front of room 1601.

Just as Qin Hao was about to knock, he vaguely heard a woman's voice from inside. With his keen senses, he listened carefully, confirming there were indeed voices.

Leng Xuan curiously asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Qin?"

Qin Hao shook his head, "It's nothing." Having said that, he knocked on the door as he didn't have time to wait outside.

He Qizhi, having waited quite a while with Ye Xiaolu, couldn't hold back any longer.

Upon hearing the knock, the two inside were momentarily stunned. He Qizhi asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Qin Hao."

"Coming, coming..."

After about a minute, He Qizhi came and opened the door. Qin Hao saw him smiling and asked, "Mr. He, why did you take so long to open the door?"

He Qizhi's expression remained unchanged as he smiled and said, "I just went to the restroom. Come in, Xiao Hao, let me introduce you to a friend."

...

Entering the room, Ye Xiaolu sat by the round table, her cheeks flushed. Upon seeing Qin Hao, she stood up and walked over, "Hello Qin Hao, nice to see you again."

"So, it's Mr. Ye," Qin Hao extended his hand to shake hers, but quickly withdrew it.

He Qizhi laughed and said, "You know each other? Then there's no need for me to introduce you. Take a seat, Xiao Hao."

Ye Xiaolu smiled seductively, "The last time student Qin Hao was looking for his girlfriend Xu Siyao, it happened to be while I was giving a lecture."

At this, He Qizhi's expression shifted slightly, girlfriend? Xu Siyao?

Qin Hao also noticed the change in his expression and internally cursed, almost revealing too much.

A gleam appeared in Ye Xiaolu's eyes as she continued smiling, "Mr. He, let's serve the dishes."

Regaining his composure, He Qizhi called out, "Wait staff, serve the dishes."

In less than a few minutes, over a dozen dishes were served, along with three bottles of red wine. Ye Xiaolu opened the bottles and poured a glass each for He Qizhi, Qin Hao, and herself.

Ye Xiaolu smiled and said, "Cheers, Mr. He, Qin Hao."

He Qizhi's smile returned, and Qin Hao's involvement with his daughter could be discussed later. For now, it was about helping Xiaolu.

After the toast, He Qizhi smiled and said, "Eat up, Xiao Hao, don't be shy."

Qin Hao nodded and picked up some dishes with his chopsticks. The table was abundant with food; this was a high-end set meal from the Innsil Hotel costing sixty-six thousand per portion.

The three ate for a while and drank a little wine. He Qizhi and Ye Xiaolu still hadn't mentioned the main issue, and Qin Hao hadn't asked directly. They were the ones who needed him, not the other way around.

Qin Hao, who would normally not afford such a meal, was not hesitant. He continuously used his chopsticks.

Eventually, Ye Xiaolu couldn't hold back any longer and gave He Qizhi a look.

"Xiao Hao, your uncle called you out today because he needs a favor," He Qizhi finally broached the subject.

The discussion finally began, and if they didn't speak up, Qin Hao was ready to leave after eating, "Mr. He, what is it?"

He Qizhi glanced at Ye Xiaolu, turned his head, and said, "This matter involves Mr. Ye. I have a close relationship with Mr. Ye, and when she asked for my help, it was hard to decline. Isn't it, Xiao Hao?"

Qin Hao was somewhat speechless, the conversation had been dragged without getting to the point, "Mr. He, please get straight to the point."

He Qizhi explained, "Here's how it is, Mr. Ye's parents run a business in Zhou Island, and they are in the electronics technology sector. They would like to partner with your Xinghai Company for a mutually beneficial and profitable collaboration."

Qin Hao's eyes sparkled, his smile unwavering, "Mr. Ye's family is from Zhou Island?"

He Qizhi elaborated, "Mr. Ye grew up in Xuan Country, but her parents are businessmen on Zhou Island."

Ye Xiaolu nodded, "I stayed on Zhou Island when I was little, then lived with my grandparents. After my grandparents passed away, I made my own way in Xuan Country."

Qin Hao smiled silently, sitting there and taking a light sip from his wine glass, "Mr. He, Mr. Ye, what exactly are you proposing in this collaboration?"
