Seeing that Lu Zheng had no intention of helping Qiao Zhen, Song Shiyi became bolder.

Even when he makes eye contact with Qiao Zhen, he dares to glare back directly.

This really angered Qiao Zhen.

Although Qiao Zhen wasn't one to cause trouble, he believed in the principle of "I won't offend others unless they offend me." Now that Song Shiyi was practically stepping on his head, it would be too weak for him not to retaliate.

Lu Zheng's attitude was clear: he wouldn't help her. If things went according to the normal procedure, Song Shiyi and the others would have already prepared a countermeasure, and in the end, Qiao Zhen would have ended up with nothing.

It seems I still need to discuss this with Gu Xijue.

However, Qiao Zhen knows what she should and shouldn't do, and right now the most important thing is to maintain good cooperation with the Cui family.

She took a deep breath and threw herself back into the collaboration with the Cui family.

Seeing the Cui family's cooperation, Qiao Zhen set her sights on Cui Yue, the young master of the Cui family.

Knowing that Cui Yue would be at the River View Hotel tonight, Qiao Zhen secretly started making plans.

After getting off work, Qiao Zhen grabbed her bag and rushed to the River View Hotel.

Given her off-get off work time, there wasn't much time to walk that way, and she was afraid of missing Cui Yue.

After arriving at the River View Hotel, Qiao Zhen quickly turned off the car and then jogged to the hotel.

It must be said that Cui Yue's physique is very conspicuous; you can see him as soon as you enter the hotel.

Qiao Zhen took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward: "Hello Mr. Cui, I am Qiao Zhen, the representative of Lu's Group. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Cui Yue took off his sunglasses, looked Qiao Zhen up and down, and then put them back on: "I don't know you. What are you doing here?"

Listening to Cui Yue's words, Qiao Zhen pursed her lips and patiently explained, "It's like this, our company has a cooperative project with you, and the discussions were going very well. Moreover, this project is beneficial to the company's development. I don't know why you suddenly stopped the project recently?"

Upon hearing this, Cui Yue seemed to remember something, glanced at Qiao Zhen again, and then sneered: "Why? If you don't like it, just stop."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen felt a surge of anger, but she had to suppress it because she couldn't vent it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cui, but please reconsider. This project is very beneficial to your company's development, and it has a very good prospect. As you know, once the deal is finalized, this project will have a bright future."

Qiao Zhen believed that anyone would think carefully after hearing his words, but Cui Yue seemed to be certain of something and shook his head directly.

"No need, Miss Qiao. Don't waste any more time with me. If you stay in front of me any longer, I'll have security kick you out."

Seeing Cui Yue's impatient look, Qiao Zhen pursed his lips. For the sake of his job, he decided to give it his all one more time.

"Oh my, Miss Qiao, what a coincidence to run into you here?"

Suddenly a sound came from behind Qiao Zhen.

Qiao Zhen didn't even need to figure out who it was; she just saw Song Shiyi swaying her hips as she approached.

She almost frowned as she said, "What a coincidence, you're here too."

Qiao Zhen wasn't stupid. Considering Cui Yue's attitude just now, Qiao Zhen roughly understood why the cooperation with the Cui family had fallen through.

"Oh dear, Miss Qiao, where did you run into a wall? Why do you look like this the moment you see me, as if your house is a dead place?"

Qiao Zhen hated it when people joked about this kind of thing, especially after his father passed away. He said coldly, "Miss Song doesn't know how to joke. You don't have to. There's no need to show off your humor. You actually have no humor at all."

"Alright, this is my restaurant, what's all the noise about?"

Cui Yue, standing to the side, couldn't help but wave his hand impatiently, then looked at Qiao Zhen with disgust and tried to shoo her away.

"You should be more careful in the future and avoid associating with people like that."

Cui Yue said this to Song Shiyi. After hearing it, Song Shiyi giggled twice and then snuggled into Cui Yue's arms, saying, "I know, Brother Cui, I knew you cared about me."

"I'll take good care of you tonight."

Cui Yue said with a mischievous grin.

Qiao Zhen, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Song Shiyi really is willing to go all out with anyone.

"Miss Qiao, are you here at the Riverview Hotel for dinner tonight? I can ask Brother Cui to give you a discount."

Qiao Zhen, who was standing to the side, also looked at Qiao Zhen with interest. Qiao Zhen looked at the two of them with a cold face and said: "No need, the food here has a strange smell."

"What strange smell? Don't make false accusations. Our ingredients are fresh every day."

Cui Yue was displeased when he saw that Qiao Zhen was smearing their restaurant.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Zhen just sneered twice and said bluntly, "I'm not talking about the ingredients, but about someone in the restaurant having a strange smell that has tainted the restaurant."

As she said this, Qiao Zhen's gaze lingered on Song Shiyi. Song Shiyi wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that this was a sarcastic remark.

"What do you mean, Qiao Zhen? Don't forget, you're asking for Cui Gege's help right now. Watch your mouth!"

As she spoke, Song Shiyi stood next to Cui Yue and leaned closer to him, the two looking just like a couple.

Qiao Zhen's face was cold, and her voice was disdainful: "Even if I need his help, it has nothing to do with you. What are you strutting around for?"

She discovered something hilarious about Song Shiyi: whoever she was with, it was as if she had the same status as that man.

But apart from her, everyone else knew that whether it was President Wang or Cui Yue, they only treated Song Shiyi as a plaything.

"You! You little bitch, don't be so shameless!"

Song Shiyi glared at Qiao Zhen, wishing she could go up and tear it to pieces.

“Song Shiyi, this is a public place.”

Cui Yue's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he didn't expect Song Shiyi to be so impatient. Qiao Zhen had managed to drive him crazy with just a few words.

"I'm sorry, Brother Cui, I just couldn't take it anymore." Song Shiyi apologized to Cui Yue with a wronged look on her face, and then looked at Qiao Zhen with a resentful gaze.

Cui Yue continued, "I just saw you, and I actually think you're quite good-looking. If you spend the night with me, I might reconsider cooperating with you."

Before Qiao Zhen could speak, Song Shiyi said, "Brother Cui, isn't it enough that you have me? Why do you have to add this woman? Look at her, she has no breasts and no butt, she's nowhere near as good as me."

Hearing Song Shiyi's ingratiating tone, Cui Yue felt a little annoyed and couldn't help but take two steps to the side: "You're so noisy."

Song Shiyi's expression froze, and she lowered her head awkwardly.

Qiao Zhen watched their performance with a cold smile and said indifferently, "No need."

After saying that, Qiao Zhen prepared to leave.

Cui Yue seemed surprised that Qiao Zhen could refuse him. Perhaps his pride was hurt, he said almost unconsciously, "I can give you three days to think about it. It's never too late for you to contact me."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen merely chuckled coldly twice and did not stop walking away.
