Chapter 233: Chapter 234: Poaching

She had never managed to connect with her before, but now that Li Yang was here, perhaps she could finally make it happen.

If Miss Qi introduced her to a few people, wouldn’t her business skyrocket?

With Miss Qi’s connections and resources, she wouldn’t have to rely on just that one residential complex to make a living.

Tang Ru was hatching a plan.

In truth, the moment Li Yang walked in and realized they weren’t friends, he had already guessed what Tang Ru was trying to do. ’But... isn’t this taking things too far? Do you really think I’m an idiot?’

Li Yang grumbled internally.

’But since you let me find out, I’m not going to play nice.’

Li Yang stepped forward and sized up Miss Qi.

She was truly beautiful, looking to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. She was tall—at least five-foot-seven—with a pair of long, slender legs that were a treat just to look at.

Miss Qi glanced at Li Yang. "Just get on with it. I’m very busy."

Li Yang said, "Oh," and stepped closer. "Miss Qi, you often experience body aches, right? And your shoulders hurt sometimes. Also, your menstrual cycle is irregular, and your period isn’t on time, correct?"

Miss Qi froze. She had been dismissive at first, but she hadn’t expected him to be so accurate.

"Did Boss Tang tell you that?"

’Boss Tang?’

Li Yang started to laugh. ’Just as I thought. These two aren’t friends at all.’

"Of course not... By the way, you aren’t actually friends with Boss Tang, are you?"

Miss Qi narrowed her eyes. She sensed there was something more to Li Yang’s words, so she simply didn’t answer.

"To be honest with you..." Li Yang began, "I’m the owner of a different private care shop. Boss Tang was so impressed with my techniques that she invited me over to take a look at you. She also lied and told me you were her friend. It seems she’s hoping you’ll introduce her to clients, right?"

Miss Qi frowned. "I have no interest in that."

Li Yang chuckled. "You may not be interested, but I am."

Miss Qi raised an eyebrow. "And what do you mean by that?"

"Your issues are all minor problems..." Li Yang said. "If I can cure you, could I ask you for a favor? To help introduce some clients to us."

Miss Qi thought for a moment. "That depends on whether you have the skill."

"Then it’s simple!" Li Yang chuckled. "These are all minor issues. I’ll give you a massage and write you a prescription. That should do it."

"Really?" Miss Qi was a little surprised.

"Of course!" Li Yang said. "Hurry and lie down. I’ll give you a massage."

Miss Qi was so beautiful that seeing her lying there was enough to stir a man’s impulses.

Li Yang collected himself and quickly began the massage.

After a little while, Miss Qi could feel that her shoulders were much better.

By the time Li Yang finished, the pain was completely gone.

Miss Qi was astounded. She sat up, and when she looked at Li Yang again, her expression was completely different.

’I never would have thought... this guy really knows his stuff.’

"Let me write you a prescription..." Li Yang, acting as if it were nothing, wrote one out for her. "Here you go."

Miss Qi took it. "Alright, thank you."

When the two of them walked out, Tang Ru was still sitting there. Seeing them emerge, she immediately asked, "How did it go?"

"It went well!" Miss Qi nodded. "It was thoughtful of you to bring someone like him to me."

"Don’t mention it, we’re friends, after all." Tang Ru was overjoyed.

But Li Yang just smiled and said, "Miss Qi, you have to keep your word. I’ve already given you my business card, so don’t forget to introduce some clients to me."

"Don’t worry, I won’t forget," said Miss Qi.

"Huh?" Tang Ru was dumbfounded. "You..."

But Miss Qi clearly didn’t want to say anything more, so the two of them could only leave.

"You poached my client!" Tang Ru exclaimed frantically after they went outside.

Li Yang chuckled. "I say, Boss Tang, she wasn’t your client, just your ’friend,’ right? And since she thinks my skills are better, what do you expect me to do?"

Tang Ru covered her face with her hands. ’What have I done? I just handed over a client I’ve been eyeing for so long to someone else.’

Li Yang chuckled again and offered some "comfort." "It’s fine. She just said she’d introduce clients to you, too."

Tang Ru couldn’t muster any enthusiasm. She was realizing that as long as Li Yang was involved, she would never be able to outplay him.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Ru spoke up. "President Li, why don’t we cooperate again?"

Li Yang glanced at her.

"If you’re willing, we can have a go right now in the car." Tang Ru giggled. "I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

Li Yang felt a surge of impulse.

Any normal man would have a reaction if such a beautiful woman said something like that to him.

"Boss Lady, isn’t that a bit improper?" Li Yang said, feigning modesty.

"What’s improper about it?" Tang Ru smiled faintly. "We’re both adults. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about with this sort of thing. It is what it is, right? Don’t worry, my husband will never know."
