In Mong Kok, there was a restaurant that had been open for over thirty years, filled with guests and praised by diners.
However, prosperity also hid a crisis: the owner was old with no succes...
Chapter 90 Cui Huiyi's Cooperation
Today, Yue Ning and Qiao Junxian attended the engagement banquet as female guests.
The girl's family is in the food agency business, and the boy has been engaged in the re-export trade of Japanese home appliances for many years, and has had a relationship with Hong'an Department Store and supermarkets for decades.
Yuan Zai Noodles is sold by the girl's family. Now Yue Ning is working with Cui Huiyi. Cui Huiyi also asked Yue Ning to go, saying that everyone in the Hongcheng Food business would be there today.
The food industry may seem inconspicuous, but it is actually a business that can easily produce super-rich people.
In the past life, those Internet and high-tech companies had huge capital demands, so the equity was very dispersed. In the end, the companies were very large, but the founders held very few shares.
As for the food sector, there are many wealthy people who sell mineral water, puffed food, and even those who run catering businesses like her, who are at the top of the wealth list.
Qiao Junxian's home appliance agency company cooperates with the man, and now the home appliance factory also cooperates with the man.
Zhao Xiru picked out a silver-gray evening dress for Yue Ning, Teacher Tony gave Yue Ning a haircut and a blow-drying, and Sister Amy put on makeup for Yue Ning.
Zhao Xiru complained: "Can you please stop wearing the T-shirts and shorts from the clearance sale at the store next to Baohua Building? Can I buy all your clothes for the four seasons?"
"Those clothes are made of good material, and they are very comfortable for me to wear. Yours are too ladylike. It is really inconvenient for me to run around in the kitchen."
Besides, she doesn’t even have time to wear those new Chinese-style clothes!
"By the way, sister, I have to go back to Yuecheng next week. Are you free to go with me? We can go meet the old couple."
"Okay, we've made an appointment." Zhao Xiru reached out and touched Yue Ning's earlobe. "Your earlobe is so beautiful, why don't you get it pierced?"
“No, no!” Although the earrings looked nice, Yue Ning was still afraid of the pain.
Seeing her like this, Qiao Junxian smiled and took her hand to lead her out.
Qiao Junxian drove to the entrance of an international brand hotel in Central. He got out of the car and handed the keys to the parking attendant. The receptionist was about to take them inside when they were blocked by paparazzi.
"Mr. Qiao, Ms. Yue, are you two planning to get engaged?"
This question is too sudden. They realize that they don’t have much time now! It’s too early to consider this.
Qiao Junxian turned to look at Yue Ning: "The five-year period is still valid. Miss Yue still has to study. I will propose to her after she finishes her studies."
He reacted faster than her, and this was really the best answer.
Yue Ning smiled and nodded: "Yes. I dare not delay my studies because of dating."
"What do you think about Yulongxuan launching pigeon wings, pagoda meat and Kunlun Baofu following your commercials?" the reporter asked again.
"I can't stop others from imitating me, I can only try my best to do better. But the fact that it can be imitated speaks volumes."
"Sorry, we're going in." Qiao Junxian said hello and took Yue Ning inside.
The wedding venue is located by the hotel's garden swimming pool.
Qiao Junxian first took Yue Ning to greet the man and woman. In addition to being enthusiastic about Qiao Junxian, the woman's eldest brother also said, "When Huiyi came just now, she said that Junxian would bring Miss Yue here today. Today we finally have the chance to meet."
"You are busy today. Next time when you are free, let's set up a game of ball together. She and I will come together." Qiao Junxian said.
"Then it's settled."
After the greetings, Yue Ning entered the banquet and saw Cui Huiyi who was chatting with someone.
Cui Huiyi waved for them to come over. The two of them went over and just chatted for a few words when someone came to look for Qiao Junxian. Cui Huiyi said, "I'll take care of Ningning, you go and entertain your friends."
When Qiao Junxian was in the start-up phase, although he had a good family background, he had no achievements, so he still needed to make friends. Yue Ning also had a good background, but his career had just started, so he also needed to get to know people in this circle.
Yue Ning said to Qiao Junxian, "You go! I'll follow Sister Huiyi, she will introduce me to people in the food industry in the same way."
"Go! Go! I'm still worried. Or rather, when has Ningning ever made you worried?"
Qiao Junxian was sent away by Cui Huiyi, and Yue Ning followed her to meet people in the circle. Mr. Wang, the boss of Xinyi Seasoning, whom she met at the exhibition last time, also arrived with his wife. When he saw the two of them, he immediately came over to say hello.
Yue Ning heard that he wanted to cooperate. Yue Ning found Cui Jiachang watching them from a distance. Cui Jiachang brought his third wife with him today and had no intention of meeting his daughter. Of course, Cui Huiyi didn't pay any attention to her father. The relationship between the father and daughter has reached a freezing point.
Yue Ning was polite to Boss Wang, but didn't say a single useful word. She wanted to see what Cui Huiyi would do next. If Cui Huiyi wanted to save Cui Ji, these resources couldn't be released rashly.
When the time came, the man and woman came on stage. Yue Ning said to Cui Huiyi, "The woman looks very small?"
"I just came back from studying in the UK. Most young ladies from wealthy families study for a few years and then come back to accept their family's arrangements to marry a husband of equal status." Cui Huiyi remembered that her sister was the same. Fortunately, her brother-in-law loved her sister and let her go out to work.
Yue Ning saw Qiao Junxian standing with his brother. She tried to find Zhou Mingling in the crowd. She said, "Why didn't Brother Junshen bring Zhou Mingling?"
At this time, the host on the stage asked everyone to raise their glasses to bless the young couple. Yue Ning raised the glass and took a sip of the drink.
After this part, Cui Huiyi told her: "Zhou Mingling has a new relationship and broke up with Qiao Junshen."
"Ah? Brother Jun Shen is heartbroken?"
"What kind of broken heart is this?" Cui Huiyi laughed. "Qiao Junshen keeps finding girlfriends in the entertainment industry one after another just to avoid unnecessary troubles. It's not like they're really dating."
"What?"
Anyway, they greeted everyone they needed to greet. Cui Huiyi and Yue Ning took their meals and found a seat to sit down. Cui Huiyi said, "Young masters, especially those like Qiao Junshen, who is capable and destined to take over the family business, how many women would throw themselves at him? If he wanted to, like Cai Zhiyuan, even if there was a woman he really liked, he would still claim to be single, and women would line up from here to Victoria Harbour. There would be women sitting on his lap at any social event."
As they were talking, a woman in a dress holding a red wine glass walked towards Qiao Junshen. Yue Ning saw that Qiao Junshen was quick and took a step back unnoticeably, and a middle-aged man with a big belly appeared in front of the woman.
Yue Ning laughed so hard that a piece of steak on the fork fell off.
Qiao Junxian was not much better. A girl approached him and he turned his eyes to her. Yue Ning fulfilled her duties as a girlfriend and looked at the girl, who walked away embarrassedly.
"If you don't want to get married, but you don't want to be pounced on by these women, the best way is to pick a trouble-free, scandal-free female star as a shield. Zhou Mingling was in the entertainment industry. When she first started filming, it was reported that she was bullied by a senior male actor. She was really beaten during the fighting scene and her bones were fractured. The director forced her to act in a third-level movie, but she was not happy. If she follows Qiao Junshen, who else dares to bully her? With the resources Cai Zhiyuan has given her, as long as she acts well, she will definitely become popular. As long as she accompanies Qiao Junshen to attend such occasions seriously, attending such occasions is what a female star wants, isn't it?"
Another seafood business owner came, and Yue Ning and Cui Huiyi chatted with him for a while.
Qiao Junxian took some food and walked over and sat down. Yue Ning took a grape from his plate. Qiao Junxian looked expectant, and Yue Ning put the grape into his mouth.
Cui Huiyi looked at them and laughed. Qiao Junshen came over and Yue Ning looked curious: "Brother Junshen."
"What?" Qiao Junshen sat down.
"Is Zhou Mingling in a relationship?" Yue Ning asked him.
Qiao Junshen turned to look at Cui Huiyi: "Did you tell her?"
"Do you have a new goal?" Cui Huiyi answered the question irrelevantly.
"I thought Zhou Mingling could hold on for a while longer, but who knows..." Qiao Junshen shrugged, "At the beginning, she swore to me that she just wanted to act well."
"Do you have a new goal?" Cui Huiyi asked him again.
Qiao Junshen forked a shrimp and said, "Do you think you can find a cat or a dog? Most of them just agree to it, but they break the rules within two days."
Qiao Junshen lowered his head to eat, feeling something was increasingly wrong, as if a burning gaze was staring at him.
"Qiao Junshen, how about we get together?"
Qiao Junshen was eating a mushroom pizza, and the mushrooms with pizza sauce fell on his trouser legs. Cui Huiyi handed him a tissue and said, "Why not give it to me instead of those female stars? Although, your mother will support me even without you. But it's different for the outside world, right? I'll be your girlfriend. As for the friendship of the old generation, your grandparents and parents all love me, what is the probability of us getting married?"
Cui Huiyi looked at her father, then turned back and said, "At this time, you are a strong support to me. To you, who dares to covet my boyfriend, Cui Huiyi?"
Qiao Junshen wiped the mushrooms off his trouser legs, put the tissue in the bone dish, and looked at Cui Huiyi, who winked at him.
"You are talking about this in this occasion, in front of Junxian and Ningning?" Qiao Junshen looked at the stunned Yue Ning, and his brother who didn't know what to say.
"Cooperation? Is there anything we can't discuss?"
Yue Ning reacted and realized that this was just the marriage agreement in romance novels, marriage first and love later.
Seeing Qiao Junshen silent, Cui Huiyi continued to persuade him: "It doesn't matter who you look for, why not look for me? If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever."
Yue Ning agreed with her and said, "This is a rare opportunity, we are going to clear out the inventory and sell off the inventory. After today, the price will go back to the original price tomorrow."
"Cui Huiyi, you really are..." Qiao Junshen told himself that no matter how old Cui Huiyi was this year and how long he had known her, it was definitely not outrageous that she could come up with this.
Cui Huiyi leaned towards him: "I know all these."
Before Qiao Junshen could react, Cui Huiyi leaned on him.
He was still looking at Cui Huiyi, the cute little girl beside him. Yue Ning said, "It looks like there are paparazzi."
Qiao Junshen looked around and realized that it was difficult to prevent paparazzi from sneaking into the hotel garden, and tomorrow would probably be full of gossip again.
He looked at Cui Huiyi again, as if he had made a major decision. He said, "Okay!"
"That Zhou Mingling has no sense of contract at all. She actually broke up with you so casually. You can't let her say to others that it was she who dumped you, but you dumped her." Cui Huiyi stood up, "Come on, I'll go for a walk with you."
Yue Ning and Qiao Junxian watched as Cui Huiyi gracefully held Qiao Junshen's arm, chatting and laughing happily in the room.
She turned around and saw Cui Jiachang's expression became even more serious...
