There wasn't much good food in the county town, so Huo Beixiao drove Jiang Qiaoqiao directly to a newly opened Western restaurant in the provincial capital.

"Two pan-seared Wagyu beef, one Australian lobster, one king crab, two borschts, and a bottle of Lafite." After ordering, Huo Beixiao politely handed the menu back to the waiter.

Jiang Qiaoqiao stared at the elegant man in a suit opposite her, momentarily lost in thought.

this……

Wasn't he supposed to be a rough guy covered in cement dust all day?

How come he's suddenly changed to an elegant gentleman? His persona has collapsed!

It was a rare occasion for the two of them to sit down and have a meal together.

Out of curiosity, Jiang Qiaoqiao couldn't help but ask Huo Beixiao about his entrepreneurial history.

Only then did they realize that Huo Beixiao had started dealing in things on the black market before the reform and opening up, and had accumulated enough funds and experience.

As soon as the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew in, he immediately started a small household appliance business by leveraging the connections he had accumulated in the black market.

At first, I didn't intend to make it big, but the business grew without me realizing it, and naturally, I opened an electronics store.

Later, when they talked about his purchase of the cement plant, they discussed it further.

"I've already contacted a real estate developer in Shanghai. I'll go there to check out the real estate development situation, and once I get back, I'll start making preparations."

After Huo Beixiao finished speaking, Jiang Qiaoqiao could see the light shimmering in his deep eyes.

She discovered that when this man used to pretend he was just a cement factory worker, he was like a silent gourd, impossible to get a word out of.

Now when he talks about business, he's very knowledgeable and eloquent.

“Brother Haiyang, I’ve already inquired. This is the most upscale Western restaurant in the provincial capital. Did you see that car parked outside just now? That car costs over 200,000 yuan! People who can eat here are all rich and powerful. Today, we’re mainly here to see how they eat and learn some etiquette so we don’t embarrass ourselves in front of the Jiang family.”

Jiang Yiran, wearing the slightly wrinkled red dress that Peng Cuiying bought for her at her wedding, walked into the Western restaurant with her back straight and whispered to Qin Haiyang.

Qin Haiyang was feeling quite nervous, as this was his first time visiting such a high-class place.

He glanced around furtively, looking somewhat shifty.

Jiang Yiran took his arm and gently reminded him, "Haiyang, don't look around like that, it makes you seem ignorant."

Qin Haiyang frowned slightly upon hearing this and glared at Jiang Yiran.

This woman is teaching him a lesson!

Jiang Yiran gave Qin Haiyang a flattering smile.

The waiter led the two to their seats and asked them to order.

Qin Haiyang wasn't well-educated and couldn't even recognize all the words on the menu. However, after receiving the menu, he wisely handed it to Jiang Yiran.

When Jiang Yiran saw that the cheapest sirloin steak cost eighteen yuan, her heart was bleeding.

But considering that all the money spent on Qin Haiyang now is for investment.

These investments are essential for achieving greater returns in the future.

She gritted her teeth and ordered a sirloin steak.

"Would you two like one serving?" the waiter asked politely.

Jiang Yiran nodded awkwardly, "Yes, I'm pregnant. I feel nauseous after eating beef. Just give my husband a serving."

"OK."

Jiang Yiran and her companion were seated right behind Jiang Qiaoqiao, which was quite a coincidence.

The two of them were too nervous to see Jiang Qiaoqiao when they entered the place. Jiang Qiaoqiao had her back to them, but she heard their voices and didn't pay any attention to them.

He calmly cut and ate his steak.

After Qin Haiyang sat down, his eyes immediately began to dart around restlessly.

As she looked away, she saw Huo Beixiao clinking glasses with Jiang Qiaoqiao across from her.

He was momentarily stunned.

Jiang Yiran had been paying close attention to Qin Haiyang, so she naturally noticed the changes in his expression.

"Haiyang, what did you see?" Jiang Yiran asked, instinctively turning her head to check.

When she saw Huo Beixiao, she was stunned for a moment and almost didn't dare to recognize him.

Huo Beixiao wore a suit, which made his already tall and upright figure appear even more slender and elegant.

That face, which was always as cold as ice, now wore a gentle smile, and his eyes were focused on Jiang Qiaoqiao opposite him.

For a moment, Jiang Yiran couldn't quite describe how she felt.

Huo Beixiao has this side to him?

In her past life, he always wore a drab cement factory uniform. Even from a distance, she could smell the cement smell mixed with the stench of sweat on him, which was absolutely disgusting.

Now, how...

Did she make the wrong choice again in her life?

She felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.

But she quickly regained her composure.

No, that's impossible.

She had lived with Huo Beixiao for several years in her previous life, so she knew him very well.

He's just a cement factory worker; he'll never amount to anything in his life.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yiran felt a surge of pride. She would be the wife of the richest man in the future, so even if she was suffering a little now, it was only temporary.

So what if Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao are doing a little better than her now?

From now on, they won't even be worthy of carrying her shoes!

Jiang Yiran raised her chin, glanced at Huo Beixiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao, and sneered, "Some people are really willing to go to great lengths to show off, but no matter how much they go to great lengths, they still don't look like a crown prince even when they wear a dragon robe!"

Jiang Qiaoqiao had no intention of paying any attention to Jiang Yiran.

But now that she's been so rude and has dared to offend her, she naturally won't be polite to her.

They had almost finished eating.
