Chapter 807 Xiaoyu's Apprentice
Qiao Qingci smiled and chatted with Jiang Xiaoyu for a while, then said, "I'm still at work. Are you feeling well?"
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded and touched her belly. "I vomit less now. My belly is not noticeable after four months. Besides, I heard you clearly. A lot of the work has been handed over to the people below."
"By the way, Qingci, when you have time, I want to introduce someone to you."
Qiao Qingci raised his eyebrows, a little curious, "If you say so, I can make time for you tomorrow."
Jiang Xiaoyu thought for a moment and said, "How about this? We have a cooperation discussion with Estee Lan tomorrow. I'll take some people with me. You've just returned, so you'll definitely have to inspect each company, right?"
Qiao Qingci nodded. "That's a deal then. I'll wait for you at Estee Land tomorrow. I'm really curious about the people you brought with you."
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, holding back the words from being provoked by Qiao Qingci, "You'll know tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Qingci opened the documents sent by the vice presidents of each company one by one, familiarizing himself with the affairs of each company during his absence.
The next day, in the office of the president of Estee Lan.
At half past ten, the secretary knocked on the door and came in to report, "Boss Qiao, Boss Jiang from Jiang Group is here."
"Please ask her to come in."
Qiao Qingci tidied up the documents on his desk and just walked to the sofa when Jiang Xiaoyu came in with someone and his secretary.
"Xiaoyu, come and sit down."
Qiao Qingci poured Jiang Xiaoyu a glass of her favorite juice, then looked at the person who followed her into the office.
A young girl, fair-skinned and with bright eyes. When she saw Qiao Qingci looking at her, she curved her lips and smiled. She had a very sweet look.
Qiao Qingci smiled faintly and said, "Is this the girl you want to introduce to me, Xiaoyu?"
Jiang Xiaoyu nodded quickly, "Yes, she is my new apprentice, Su Tiantian."
Jiang Xiaoyu said to Su Tiantian again: "Tiantian, this is the powerful Mr. Qiao I told you about."
"Hello, Mr. Qiao." Su Tiantian spoke crisply. The little apprentice looked very pleasing.
Qiao Qingci raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Tiantian, what would you like to drink?"
Su Tiantian said: "A cup of coffee."
Qiao Qingci turned around and said to his secretary, "Please bring me a cup of coffee."
"Okay, Mr. Qiao."
The secretary brought the coffee, put it down and left. Qiao Qingci listened to Jiang Xiaoyu talk about her and Su Tiantian's master-disciple relationship.
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled softly, "Tiantian has been working at Jiang's Group for almost a year since she graduated from university. She's very capable at work, and I like her right away."
"Tiantian is incredibly lucky. I've been planning to take in a disciple for a while now, but I've never met anyone I like. Now that I've met her, I don't want to miss her. Besides, I think with a lucky star like Tiantian by my side, my baby and I will probably be luckier too..."
Qiao Qingci listened quietly while Jiang Xiaoyu was talking. Seeing that she really liked Su Tiantian, he felt that he loved her and her family as well. He sincerely congratulated her on finding such a disciple.
Time passed quickly as the two chatted. When it was time for dinner, Qiao Qingci said, "I just returned to China, and today is my first time meeting Tiantian. I'll treat you to dinner. What would you like to eat?"
Jiang Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Qingci, you just said that this is your first time meeting Tiantian, so let Tiantian see what she wants to eat. Tiantian, do you have a restaurant you want to go to?"
Qiao Qingci looked at Su Tiantian.
Su Tiantian blinked her eyes and said excitedly, "Let me choose? I know there's a hot pot restaurant that's really delicious, but it's a bit far from here. Mr. Qiao, do you want to go?"
"Eating hot pot?"
Qiao Qingci subconsciously glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu. The hot pot had a strong smell and the ingredients contained a lot of blood. Xiaoyu might not be able to handle it while she was pregnant.
When Jiang Xiaoyu met Qiao Qingci's gaze, she knew what her good friend was worried about. She didn't expect Tiantian to choose this, but her little apprentice was willing, and Qiao Qingci had liked it before, so she couldn't spoil their fun.
Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Hotpot is great. I haven't had it in a while. Qingci, let's go to the place Tiantian mentioned."
"Okay, I'll book a private room now."
After driving for more than half an hour, a few people finally arrived at the hot pot restaurant that Su Tiantian mentioned.
Entering the private room, the waiter took out a tablet for them to order. Qiao Qingci said, "This is the first time for your master and I to come to this hot pot restaurant. Tiantian, just order whatever you think is good."
"Okay." Su Tiantian picked up the tablet and finished ordering quickly.
Qiao Qingci took it and wanted to see if he needed to add anything. His eyes fell on Su Tian’s dessert list, and his slender fingers froze.
Three seconds later, Qiao Qingci raised his eyes with a calm expression, "Tiantian, your master is still pregnant, so let's order a shabu-shabu hotpot. One with your favorite spicy red oil soup base, one with a coconut soup base, and some refreshing dishes."
