Chapter 372 - 196: The Value of 98-Point Looks

Even Qu Man from Shanghai came back with Zong Rui.

It was a rare opportunity for the whole family to go on vacation, so of course, no one could be left behind.

Before this, the other women only had a vague impression of Qu Man’s beauty from videos and photos.

But seeing her in person, even they—all stunning beauties in their own right—couldn’t help but feel a pang of envy.

Qu Man’s beauty was truly near the pinnacle of human aesthetics.

Every expression she made was one of peerless beauty.

Not only was she gorgeous, but Qu Man’s figure was also second only to Zong Rui’s.

Du Xinxin, who was always agonizing over her lack of development, was utterly crushed.

’We were all supposed to be made from the same clay.’

’But the goddess Nuwa just had to go and show off all her skills on Qu Man.’

Qu Man, looking at the room full of beautiful, lively women, felt a little dazzled herself.

Fortunately, they had all chatted online frequently.

She quickly put faces to the names she remembered.

"Sister Manman, you’re so beautiful!"

Du Xinxin ran over and took Qu Man’s hand, her face filled with admiration.

"You’re very pretty too, and so adorable."

Qu Man said with a smile, pinching Du Xinxin’s cheek. It felt wonderfully soft.

"I’m not that pretty. Sister Manman, have you ever thought about becoming a celebrity?"

Du Xinxin asked with wide-eyed curiosity. She was genuinely wondering.

"I didn’t graduate from a film or music academy. Even if I started acting, I’d just be a pretty face."

"I might even have to sleep with all sorts of men for roles and resources. I wouldn’t like that kind of life."

Qu Man ruffled Du Xinxin’s hair, giving her the answer with a soft smile.

"That’s right, the entertainment industry is a mess. With Sister Manman being so beautiful, those tycoons would definitely treat you like a pet!"

Du Xinxin was also a fan of celebrities, but she only followed female ones.

The male celebrities couldn’t compare to her brother in terms of looks, so she could never bring herself to like them.

Having followed the scene for a long time, she was also very familiar with the sordid affairs of the entertainment industry.

It might have been hearsay, but where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

"Besides, if I joined the entertainment industry, we would never have had the chance to become sisters like this."

Qu Man couldn’t resist pinching Du Xinxin’s cheek again. It was so soft she couldn’t stop herself.

"Hey! Sister Manman, you’re just like my brother, always pinching my face. You’re going to pinch it into a circle."

Du Xinxin pouted, rubbing her cheeks as if afraid they’d become a big, round face.

"Those two little beauties must be Nuonuo and Yaoyao, right?"

Qu Man looked at Pan Yinuo and Tao Siyao and smiled at them too.

Tao Siyao looked at Qu Man, not daring to be as bold as Du Xinxin and run over to greet her directly.

"Wow, the goddess is smiling at me!"

Seeing Qu Man smile and nod at them, Tao Siyao couldn’t help but excitedly shake Pan Yinuo’s arm.

Even though they were all women, it was hard not to be stunned by Qu Man’s divine beauty.

"Yaoyao, should we go say hi too?"

Pan Yinuo saw Du Xinxin waving at them and pulled the excited Tao Siyao over.

"Hi, Sister Manman. I’m Tao Siyao."

"Hi, Sister Manman. I’m Pan Yinuo."

The two younger girls came over to greet her politely.

Looking at the fairy-like Qu Man up close, they couldn’t bear to blink.

They were finally experiencing what it meant to be breathtakingly beautiful.

"So lively in here?"

Qi Sheng happened to be coming down the stairs, holding Tan Hua’s hand.

Seeing that Qu Man had also arrived, his eyes couldn’t help but light up.

Since this was a vacation trip, Qu Man wasn’t dressed in her usual professional skirt suit.

She was wearing a simple, plain white dress, revealing a pair of slender, elegant arms as pale as white jade.

Her beautiful legs were long, straight, and perfectly shaped.

This was also Tan Hua’s first time meeting Qu Man in person.

She was stunned by the other woman’s beauty and felt an immense sense of pressure.

No matter how confident she was, in the face of a peerless, heavenly beauty like Qu Man, she couldn’t help but feel a little insecure.

"Manman, hello! It’s so good to finally meet you in person!"

Tan Hua took the initiative to greet her with a smile, extending a friendly welcome.

"Huahua, hello! We’ve only ever chatted on video. You’re even prettier in person!"

Qu Man smiled and linked arms with Tan Hua, returning the compliment and showing her plenty of respect.

Seeing that all his girlfriends had arrived.

Even Zhuang Xiaomeng, who was usually busy with surgeries, had managed to make it for this rare occasion.

"The cars I arranged will be here soon, and we’ll head out shortly. Everyone, please double-check your luggage. The most important thing is not to forget your IDs."

"Anything else, you can just buy it when we get to Singapore."

Qi Sheng looked at the more than thirty suitcases and felt a headache coming on.

Thank goodness he’d arranged for his company to send a few extra vans over.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to fit all these suitcases.

Counting the newest members of his girlfriend group, Qu Man and Zhuang Xiaomeng, there were seventeen of them in total.

This time, Qi Sheng had shelled out a huge sum to charter a Bombardier Global 7500.

This was also the private jet model with the largest passenger capacity.

Even so, it could only seat a maximum of 19 passengers.

Including himself, he didn’t have to worry about running out of space.

Flying from Chengdu to Singapore, a one-way trip cost 500,000.

Including the return charter, crew expenses, and airport fees, the total was expected to be around 2 million.

For an ordinary person, this was a level of luxury they wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

But for Qi Sheng, it was a trivial expense.

He had been relatively frugal last month and had saved up almost 65 million.

In May, the System had rewarded him with another 102.2 million.

With nearly 200 million in cash on hand, spending 2 million on a whim wasn’t just easy, it was a pleasure.

A Cullinan and a Urus, plus five Buick GL8 minivans.

They finally, just barely, managed to fit all the luggage.

Gu Feng and Gu Hai were unfazed, of course.

As his personal bodyguards, they were long accustomed to the boss’s many ladies.

As for the few male employees from Shengxuan Real Estate’s administrative department who had been temporarily assigned to help, they were completely dazzled by the sight of so many beautiful women.

"Keep your damn eyes to yourselves! If I catch any of you gawking again, don’t blame me when you fail your performance reviews at the end of the month!"

Zhou Huaiping was leading the team personally, and he watched as the eyes of these useless bastards darted all over the place.

He angrily chewed them all out.

"Understood!"

Seeing Zhou Huaiping get angry, no one dared to be careless anymore.

Countless people out there were green with envy over their jobs.

Losing a job like this over something so trivial would be completely idiotic.

"Old Zhou, thank you all for the hard work. Give each of them five hundred bucks later, my treat. Tell them to get some milk tea."

Before getting in the car, Qi Sheng patted Zhou Huaiping’s shoulder.

"Alright. During this time, if there’s anything urgent, I’ll contact you by email."

"Yeah, as a rule, you guys handle things on your own. Only contact me for things you absolutely can’t decide on."

Qi Sheng shrugged with a smile. "It’s a rare chance for me to take them on vacation, so don’t make my life difficult."

"Haha, understood. Rest assured, sir, we’ll do our best not to disturb you."

Zhou Huaiping gave him a knowing smile that all men would understand, marveling inwardly at his boss’s incredible luck with women.

’Seventeen beauties... just how wild would that be?’

’After half a lifetime of ups and downs, I’ve never experienced such a thrilling, grand scene.’

’When I get the chance, I’ve got to hit up a KTV and get a taste of it.’

’But hoping to find women as gorgeous as the boss’s ladies? That’s just a daydream.’

Even the "plainest" of them, Tang Qian, was what any normal person would consider a classic beauty.

As for the most beautiful of them all, Qu Man, she left even a worldly, experienced man like Old Zhou utterly spellbound.

’A living Chang’e could be no more beautiful than this.’
