Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?-Chapter 549 - 391: Zhang Qiang’s Collaboration (Part 2)

He first bent down to check his shiny leather shoes, then took the club from Li Jing's hand, rubbing his fingers back and forth over the anti-slip grooves on the shaft, imparting his instructions: "President Li, hitting the ball requires alignment."

He turned sideways to demonstrate, the tense shoulder muscles under his dark gray golf shirt shifting with his movements, "The shoulders should be like drawn bowstrings, knees slightly bent as the center of gravity sinks, remember..."

Suddenly, he turned around, his gaze sweeping over Huang Qin's exquisite profile, his voice involuntarily raised, "The moment of impact should be like a cheetah pouncing, swiveling the hips to drive the arms, concentrating the whole body's strength at the clubhead."

After finishing the demonstration, Zhang Qiang handed the club back to Li Jing and stepped back half a pace:

"Practice a few more times to get the feel, President Huang and I will watch over you."

As he spoke, he intentionally stood beside Huang Qin, subtly isolating Li Jing from the two of them, making Li Jing seem more like an outsider who had just arrived on the scene.

After pulling away at a just right distance from Li Jing, Zhang Qiang took out a mint candy tin from his pocket and, regardless of whether Li Jing had learned, turned to Huang Qin and asked: "I heard President Huang has been planning a cultural tourism project recently?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Qin's face flashed a trace of intrigue, then she nodded.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Qiang said with a smile: "Now is the policy dividend period, indeed a good time to enter. But the waters in this field run deep, our company began preparing a year ago, spending six months on preliminary research alone."

He paused, his gaze directed toward the place where the sea and sky converge in the distance: "The surrounding small islands, both Liu and Wang families have reached cooperation with us.

By the way, Little Gate Island three kilometers from here, the Shi family is responsible for development, and we are also involved."

At this point, he turned to look at Huang Qin, a faint, elusive smile played at the corner of his mouth, with the Rolex on his wrist refracting specks of light under the sun,

"I'm not sure if it's true, but I heard President Huang is also getting involved in this project recently?"

Huang Qin maintained a faint smile: "President Zhang's intelligence is quite timely."

"President Huang is too kind.

Zhang Qiang tossed the mint into his mouth, the coolness of the mint causing him to squint, shaking his head in feigned helplessness: "To be honest, the cooperation framework is basically finalized. Your sudden involvement may disrupt the existing plans."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qin's brow furrowed slightly, her fingers on the sides of her apricot-colored golf shirt tightening slightly.

This cultural tourism project had long been listed as a core plan in her company's strategic blueprint for the next two years, and Little Gate Island was unanimously approved as the "key move" by the board.

If secured, it could not only unblock the coastal tourism chain but also help them ascend into the ranks of top-tier enterprises; otherwise, the hundreds of thousands invested in preliminary research would go down the drain, and skeptical glances at the shareholders' meeting would rush in like a tide.

Originally counting on leveraging her years-long private connections with the Shi family for cooperation, at this moment, watching Zhang Qiang's confident demeanor, a foreboding feeling settled in her heart.

Zhang Qiang caught the subtle contraction in his opponent's pupils, letting out a suppressed chuckle, deliberately letting the mint box click as it spun in his palm:

"Although Little Gate Island no longer needs other companies' entry, if President Huang wishes, I believe with your capability, you could undoubtedly bring us assistance.

Actually, I could have a word with the Shi family. Although the project is led by them, we do have a certain degree of influence."

As he spoke, his gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep over the snowy white subtly revealed at Huang Qin's collar.

Huang Qin's lashes fluttered lightly before regaining the composure befitting a businesswoman.

She reached to tidy her clothes, smiling: "If President Zhang could say a good word, that would be splendid. However, in business no help comes for free, I presume President Zhang has his own considerations?"

Zhang Qiang tilted his head back, laughing heartily: "President Huang sees me as too profit-driven. With such a fateful connection, lending a hand is only fitting. To a beauty like President Huang, I must show gentlemanly conduct, right?"

Changing his tone, he continued, "But since we get along so well, might President Huang grace me with the pleasure of a dinner tonight? My friend has opened a new French restaurant on the island, with snails flown in this morning from Europe."

Upon hearing this, Huang Qin's brow furrowed, instinctively glancing at Li Jing practicing his swing not far away, the hem of his golf shirt lifting as he swung, tracing a smooth arc in the sunlight.

She considered carefully before speaking: "Dinner could be arranged, it's just that President Li has come from afar, it's inappropriate to neglect him."

"Why is that difficult?"

Upon mentioning Li Jing, Zhang Qiang's smile stiffened slightly before resuming naturally, "Once finished, I'll arrange a driver to take President Li back to the city. Business talks demand efficiency, I'm sure President Li wouldn't want to delay our main matters."

Once again, he moved closer to Huang Qin, the scent of his cologne mixed with mint enveloping her, laughing softly: "After dinner, the island's night scenery is exquisite too, strolling along the coast, chatting about project planning sounds great.

Moreover, I have a VIP suite at the hotel atop the mountain, stocked with twenty-year-old whiskey, a couple of nightcaps might even stir some youthful passion."

Seeing the constant smile on his face, Huang Qin's brow furrowed slightly, subtly retreating half a step, deftly nudging away Zhang Qiang's hand from her shoulder.

"Then that won't be necessary. President Li has come especially from Tianhai, as the host I should be responsible for hosting throughout.

Why not arrange another day, I'll host a banquet at the 'Yunding' hotel in Hai City, and invite the Shi and Chen families for a drink."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qiang's smile froze on his face, an ominous shadow flickered in his eyes as he shoved the mint tin back into his pocket.

"President Huang, tonight's dinner is exclusively for you."
