Jiang Jiahua eventually told Peng Cuiying what Li Guodong had said.

Peng Cuiying was equally stunned. "What? How is this possible?"

"Hahaha..." Jiang Jiahua laughed angrily, his eyes full of resentment as he looked at Peng Cuiying. "How is it impossible? If it weren't for you, you stupid woman, so short-sighted, our family would never have to worry about money again."

“I told you yesterday that all that loan sharking was just something Qiao Qiao set up to test us. You didn’t believe me, and you even tried to get me to cut ties with them. Now look what’s happened. Even if Huo Beixiao becomes a millionaire or a billionaire, we can forget about ever getting a piece of his mind.”

As Jiang Jiahua spoke, he felt as if he had lost a cement factory, and his heart was bleeding.

Peng Cuiying also looked pained.

The living room fell silent immediately.

Only Jiang Yiran stood to the side, head down, rolling her eyes wildly.

Huo Beixiao just bought a cement factory, didn't he?

What's so great about it?

Even at its peak, this small cement factory had assets of no more than ten million yuan, and it was eventually acquired by a large corporation.

After Ocean Brother became the richest man, he had a net worth of trillions.

That enormous number would scare Jiang Jiahua and Peng Cuiying, those two snobbish fools, to death if they were told it out loud!

At this moment, Peng Cuiying suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Who said that we can't be related just because we published that voice? Even if we published a statement, isn't she still our daughter? We gave her life, so she owes us and has to repay us!"

She lowered her voice and told the Jiang family about her idea.

After listening, Jiang Jiahua frowned slightly and thought for a moment before saying, "This is the only way to do it now!"

*

Jiang Qiaoqiao was unaware that after news of the cement factory incident spread, the Jiang family had already set their sights on her again.

At that moment, she was wandering around the clothing section of the department store.

It's the time of year for changing seasons, so she's taking a look at what new autumn styles are coming out and figuring out that she should also stock up on new autumn items.

She figured she now had about 10,000 yuan in savings, which should be enough to open a clothing store in Yunxian County.

After the store in Yun County opened, Zhou Yang took over its daily management.

She can then go to the provincial capital to develop her career.

Jiang Qiaoqiao walked around the clothing section and already had a general idea of ​​what to expect.

Besides stirrup pants and timeless denim jackets and jeans, another popular trend this fall is georgette skirts, which can be paired with trench coats or thin wool coats.

If the colors are matched properly, this dress looks ethereal and can definitely capture the hearts of young people.

Jiang Qiaoqiao wanted to take a closer look and check the quality, and then go to the wholesale market to buy some more on her way back.

"Comrade, you like this dress? It's a new style that just arrived in our store..." A young saleswoman with two braids immediately stepped forward to introduce it to Jiang Qiaoqiao.

"Hey, Liu Jun, what are you doing? That dress costs over two hundred yuan. You let just anyone touch it. If it gets dirty, will she pay for it or will you?"

Before Jiang Qiaoqiao could even touch the dress, a shout came from behind, interrupting the young girl's introduction.

As soon as Jiang Qiaoqiao turned her head, she saw the saleswoman who had been hiding behind the counter putting on makeup looking at her with disdain.

Liu Jun looks like he's new to the job.

The little girl blushed when the saleswoman yelled at her, and didn't dare to argue.

Jiang Qiaoqiao frowned slightly.

In those days, being a sales clerk in a department store was a prestigious job. In addition, the concept of "the customer is king" had not yet been established, so few of these sales clerks had a good attitude.

She hadn't planned to buy any clothes, so she didn't interrupt and continued looking around, putting the young woman who was introducing the clothes to her in a difficult position.

"Thank you." Jiang Qiaoqiao politely thanked the saleswoman named Liu Jun and prepared to leave.

But she hadn't left the store yet.

The saleswoman, sporting somewhat exaggerated smoky eye makeup, suddenly walked out from behind the counter with a broad smile.

The voice, which had been so fierce just moments before, instantly became more assertive. "Sir, what would you like to see? Our men's clothing here is all newly arrived. You can tell me what occasion you'll be wearing it, and I'll help you put together an outfit!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao looked in the direction the salesperson was looking and saw Huo Beixiao, dressed in a suit and tie, walking towards her with a mobile phone in his hand.

Jiang Qiaoqiao instantly understood why the salesperson was so enthusiastic.

The mobile phones have only just become popular now, and each one costs tens of thousands of yuan. Moreover, you not only need to have money, but also connections, otherwise you can't buy one even if you have the money.

Nowadays, a mobile phone is definitely a symbol of status and prestige.

In addition, Huo Beixiao is tall and handsome, so it's not surprising that the sales clerks would stare at him.

"No need." Huo Beixiao's gaze was focused on Jiang Qiaoqiao, and he directly rejected the saleswoman's attempt to curry favor.

As Huo Beixiao walked towards Jiang Qiaoqiao, the saleswoman glared at Jiang Qiaoqiao resentfully.

This poor girl didn't come earlier or later, but she just happened to arrive when her true love was coming.

She was quite amazed when she first saw this poor girl; with her there, most men would definitely notice her first.

At this moment, Huo Beixiao had already walked up to Jiang Qiaoqiao. "Could you help me choose two outfits for formal occasions?"

Upon hearing this, the sales clerk quickly ran over, stepping in front of Jiang Qiaoqiao and smilingly saying to Huo Beixiao, "Sir, she's not one of our sales clerks; she's just looking at clothes. She thinks our clothes are too expensive and is about to leave. Let me help you choose!"

Her words were clearly directed at Huo Beixiao, implying that Jiang Qiaoqiao was penniless and unemployed, and therefore unworthy of him.

"Sir, you need two outfits for formal occasions, right? This way, we have all kinds of suits, Zhongshan suits, and overcoats. Let me help you choose two." The saleswoman gestured to Huo Beixiao with even greater enthusiasm.

Huo Beixiao frowned slightly. "Whether my wife works as a sales clerk here or not, and whether she can afford the clothes here, I know better than you. You don't need to tell me."

The saleswoman's smile froze, and she stood there stunned.

The words she had just used to criticize Jiang Qiaoqiao now felt like slaps to her face.

She bit her lip secretly, regretting that she had misjudged him today.

She noticed that although Jiang Qiaoqiao was pretty and dressed fashionably at first glance, upon closer inspection, she saw that she was wearing cheap clothes.

That's why she thought Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't afford the cheap clothes here.

"Comrade, I'm so sorry. I was blind to your greatness and was rude to you. You wanted to see this georgette dress, right? Let me show you."

The salesperson, being a salesperson, was able to be flexible and adaptable after realizing she had made a mistake.

Jiang Qiaoqiao glanced at her but didn't refuse. She simply asked, "What's your name?"
