Ye Qingxian sat beside Chen Xuan unhurriedly and said softly, "Ma Boqu's daughter Ma Yanli and son-in-law Han Zhicheng have a listed company called Licheng Group."

"Their son, Han Tianhua, is the general manager of the company, and he is my business competitor."

Chen Xuan asked, "Is Licheng Group also in the cosmetics business?"

"Yes, that's part of it. Besides cosmetics, they also deal in jewelry."

Ye Qingxian continued, "When I was developing in Zhonghai City, there was already competition between us."

"Because I have extensive connections there, Licheng Group's cosmetics couldn't enter the Zhonghai Market. Correspondingly, my company's cosmetics couldn't make a breakthrough in Jiangbei City."

"Now that I'm expanding in Jiangbei City, it's like stepping into someone else's turf. How could he let me grow peacefully? Surely he'll find ways to suppress me!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "So how do you want me to help you?"

Ye Qingxian smiled and waved her hand, "I didn't want you to do anything really. You insisted that I had something to ask of you, so I had to bring it up."

"I just need you to give me some advice."

According to Ye Qingxian, she wants to bid on a piece of land in the northern suburbs of the city to invest in building a factory there.

She's worried that Han Tianhua will engage in malicious competition with her, seizing the opportunity to drive up the bidding prices. How to effectively avoid this is the question.

Chen Xuan understood and asked perplexedly, "That suburban north piece of land is a wasteland, why bid there?"

"With so many good plots in the development zone, why choose such a place?"

Ye Qingxian giggled, "I have my plans! The beauty cream formula you gave me last time requires raw materials that need to be transported from Bozhou."

"The transportation costs alone are quite high, which invisibly increases production costs! Additionally, as I mentioned earlier, Han Tianhua will definitely try to suppress my products."

"I have to lower production costs to have an absolute advantage in price wars with him. So, do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Xuan hesitated, "You mean to cultivate medicinal herbs in the vicinity of the suburban wasteland?"

"You're extremely smart, you've immediately caught on to my intention."

Ye Qingxian smiled slightly, "That area is all wasteland, and further north it's hilly, so growing grain crops won't work."

"I've already conducted a preliminary investigation; the residents there are all planting potatoes. Once I secure that land and build a factory, I can lead local farmers to form a medicinal herb cooperative."

"By signing supply and sales contracts, we can boost the income of local farmers while providing me with a steady supply of raw materials, saving on production costs—a win-win!"

Chen Xuan shook his head with a laugh, "You truly have a business mind, considering everything so thoroughly."

"Does Han Tianhua know your intention now?"

"This is a business secret; how could I possibly leak it," Ye Qingxian sighed. "However, during the bidding process, it definitely won't be possible to keep it from him."

"Certainly, Han Tianhua will deliberately trip me up, drive up the bids, making me waste funds."

"I'm devising a strategy, but I haven't figured it out yet."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Xuan chuckled lightly, "Understood, let me accompany you when it's time to bid."

"I guarantee you won't waste any money!"

"Great, I knew you would have a way."

Ye Qingxian nodded with a smile, "Tomorrow at three in the afternoon at the International Conference Hall, there's a bidding conference."

"No problem! I'll come over then, acting as your driver, to accompany you," Chen Xuan stood up, "I'll head back first, see you tomorrow."

"Why are you in such a rush to return? Have you made up with Lin Wanxi? I doubt it!"

Ye Qingxian giggled coquettishly, "I've rented a villa here, come spend the night at my place."

"It'll save you the trouble of running back and forth, and tonight we can also discuss the Ma family's situation to help you figure out the truth quickly."

Chen Xuan directly shook his head with a laugh, "Ye Qingxian, you're full of schemes, trying to play tricks on me again."

Ye Qingxian giggled sweetly, "This time I won't deny it, I just want you to stay and live with me."

"Don't say you're afraid to come, fearing that I'll eat you up."

"Such provocation doesn't work on me, you know?" Chen Xuan sneered with disdain.

"If you don't come, that just shows you're cowardly, that's the only interpretation," Ye Qingxian said with an enchanting smile, putting an end to the conversation.

Heh heh!

Chen Xuan laughed with exasperation, "Ye Qingxian, you're playing with fire again."

"Tonight, I'll come over with you and let you experience firsthand what it means to play with fire and get burned!"

Heh heh heh...

Ye Qingxian laughed charmingly, her eyes like silken threads, "That's just what I'd like, I'm not afraid of playing with fire!"

"Chen Xuan, a real man wouldn't back down! Otherwise, I'd lose respect for you."

With that, she threw him a teasing wink, full of flirtatious intent.

This really stirred up Chen Xuan's "fire," determined to properly "teach" this seductive woman a lesson tonight.

So she would truly understand just how dangerous playing with fire can be…
