Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

"I understand your apprehension. There's no need to care about offending me. Please do tell me what you have in mind." Ling Qingyu said.

The man pursed his lips. Only a fool would believe a woman's words, particularly a rare woman who excelled in politics and business. Well, that applied to every gender but men always thought women should be like this.

"Then, no offense please."

"None taken. I can solve your worries and work out a solution together only with conversation." Ling Qingyu said.

Since Ling Qingyu already spoke out, it would be impolite for the man to not reciprocate. The two discussed and negotiated the terms.

The problems posed by the officials were nothing in Ling Qingyu's eyes except for her immature experience regarding transportation affairs and likely old ancient antiques unwilling to breakthrough new ideas and innovations.

Ling Qingyu boasted the taxi company and bus company, public transportation service, she envisioned and intended to invest in were all-electric, adhering to the green policy, that countries all over the world were walking toward.

Well, Ling Qingyu understood fully electric vehicles still had weaknesses—insufficient mileage, unreliable source of fuel, higher risk of catching fire, and affecting the area grid system. The last factor emerged when a huge number of people used electric cars and the district or provincial grid system could no longer sustain enough energy without affecting other users.

But since everyone was hopping toward green, Ling Qingyu must not be left behind in a competitive automotive industry. Although the current research was still far from par with Ling Qingyu's ideal goals, Tang Ziyi and Athena had worked out quite well.

Both of them had innovated several new designs and given these important blueprints to the HongQi Industry, Ling Qingyu owned.

Since every important data was displayed, the factory technicians could easily manufacture the necessary items. The technology level had been rapidly upgraded. CEO of HongQi had a beaming smile, already visualizing his hard work's success in the future.

Of course, what Ling Qingyu and the official were discussing didn't include technological aspects, but rather what benefits she could bring. It was similar to advertising.

She had repeatedly promised that the municipal government needed to do nothing except to give a green light.

Starting from buildings, she would rent them for the coming employees. Vehicles would be provided by HongQi. Even the fuel she could buy the resources from government businesses.

Although she had said all-electric vehicles, the process couldn't be as fast as her speech. A proportion would use EVs, while the rest continued conventional fuel. Gradually, she could transform the vehicle into an EV again.

Ling Qingyu's project meant a big revenue for the government and as the official who recommended, his benefit wasn't few.

Because Province N was a bit back in time compared to others, the buses in use were from the 1980s or 1990s. With Ling Qingyu's intervention, the latest bus model to raise the public image and attract tourism was highly possible. She could directly improve the transportation standard of Province N.

Yet, this old man still displayed hesitance. Ling Qingyu was getting more and more annoyed. Benefits! He wanted more. How could Ling Qingyu not see his hidden agenda?

If Ling Qingyu was ordinary and without cheats, she must really give in for future wealth. Nonetheless, the current Ling Qingyu had a huge potential, one no one could predict.

Despite being agitated, Ling Qingyu didn't fall out. A temporary loss was nothing to her as long as everything she did could shorten her pace on the road to greatness.

Ling Qingyu's eyes were a little cold and the man noticed her slight disgust but bit his teeth to not give in.

A mocking smile appeared on Ling Qingyu's lips. The saying birds died for food and people died for money seemed very true. They really disregarded everything so long as the benefits overwhelmed them.

Finally, Ling Qingyu presented the final offer of further road infrastructure investments, even connecting villages far away from the metropolitan area and the two shook hands. Ling Qingyu already gave away 30 billion yuan.

At least, Ling Qingyu didn't suffer too much. The money spent would soon be gained hundredfold a couple of years later. Of course, Ling Qingyu would surely reciprocate being cheated on but not now.

"Happy cooperation, Ms. Ling. It's a pleasure meeting you. I'm sure, the government will give a green light as soon as possible." The man smiled brilliantly.

I hope you can still smile and survive a few years later, Ling Qingyu thought. Since offended, it would be impolite not to return the favor. She was great at wearing small shoes.

On the outside: "It's a pleasure indeed. Mister really thinks everything for the people. I'm sure ordinary citizens like us will be happy to have you as our official." Ling Qingyu replied.

"You're overpraising. I do what I must for the people."

"Well then, Sir. I'll take my leave. You don't need to follow me; I don't want to disturb your work." Ling Qingyu stopped him from following out.

"But I must insist Ms. Ling. I must not chill the heart of someone who contributes a lot to the society."

Ling Qingyu chatted some other topics and waited to see if there would be any extra news in the circle. Until reaching the parking lot, the two parted ways.

Ling Qingyu walked toward her car, without changing her expression till she reached inside.

The moment she closed the door. She took in a deep breath to calm down. Old one were spicy as ever. Tapping on the steering wheel, Ling Qingyu's eyes were out of focus.

Not for long, she started the engine and drove toward Yang Qingyue's place. She must find her love to heal her fragile heart. As for that old guy, let him survive a little longer.

Ling Qingyu glanced at the clock. 3 p.m.

The oral agreement took an hour to negotiate and it was with Ling Qingyu's giving away several benefits. She wore Athena's glass again.

"Athena, find out everything about that old man, who just talk with me."

"Everything? Mom?"

"Everything starting from his birth. If he is kind enough, I'll show mercy. If he isn't and exploits his power or his mindset always bullies the weak,…hmph."

"Got it! Mom….it's done." One second had passed and Athena finished the task. "Do you want to see it now? I can summarize what he has done"

"Not yet. Remind me again later when I'm free. For now, let's go to your Aunt Yang's location. I wanna take a rest, why don't you drive the car for me?"

"Yes, Ma'am." Athena's voice brought chuckles out of her mouth.

Ling Qingyu released her hands from the steering wheel and adjusted a relaxed posture, humming musics, departing from the municipal building.
