Chapter 220 You look like someone

Qi Xu saw Su Qian, still talking to Hua Changqing. He called out, "Qian Qian, let's go."

Hua Changqing took off his coat, put it on Su Qian, and said gently.

"Your clothes are wet, put them on first. Don't catch a cold."

Just when Su Qian was so moved that she was confused, Qi Xu poured a basin of cold water on her.

"Mr. Hua, when Qianqian was splashed with red wine, why didn't you seek justice for her?"

"Qianqian's clothes are already soaked by now, and you're worried about her catching a cold."

Hua Changqing explained. "I'm sorry, I was in the bathroom at the time and didn't pay attention to what was happening outside. Otherwise, I would definitely stop it."

Su Qian also spoke up for him. "Qiqi, Mr. Hua really wasn't there at the time."

"Oh, really?" Qi Xu's tone was very cold. She pulled Su Qian away and left, completely ignoring Hua Changqing.

Hua Changqing looked at her back and finally couldn't help but express the familiar feeling in his heart.

"Mr. Xiao An, you look a lot like someone I know."

Qi Xu turned around and said to him inexplicably, "A lot of people say I look a lot like my mother. Could it be that Mr. Hua has met my mother?"

Hua Changqing was stunned for a moment, his thoughts wandering. "Maybe I remembered it wrongly."

When he looked up again, Qi Xu's figure was even further away. But Su Qian secretly turned her head, smiled and waved goodbye to him.

"Woman, restrain yourself. Your passion has spread to the Pacific Ocean."

Su Qian, wearing that dress, felt like she was wearing the whole world, her face full of intoxication.

"Qiqi, I really like him. Do you think Mr. Hua is handsome?"

"Tsk, what kind of vision." Qi Xu snorted. "Not as handsome as my third brother."

Speaking of Lu Shiyu, Su Qian felt very guilty. When she was at her lowest point, it was him who stood up for her and helped her regain her dignity.

"I'm sorry, Qiqi. I don't have any feelings for Mr. Lu. I like gentle and humble men like Mr. Hua."

Qi Xu sighed. "Alas, there's no hope. No matter how good others are to you, they can't beat your love-brained mind."

Su Qian retorted. "You're not in love. You even got married right away."

Qi Xu didn't bother to explain. She wasn't in love; she was forced by circumstances to sell herself for money. Okay.

Fortunately, she stumbled upon a conscientious buyer who dug her out of the mud. Now, she can finally be said to have finally found her happy ending after all the hardship.

"Qianqian, let me give you a piece of advice. Women, never give your body and mind completely to others at any time. You must at least keep some of it. That is your way out."

Su Qian didn't quite understand. "Is this how you treat Mr. Lin?"

"It was before. Not now." She and Yoga Lin have been through so much, and she has seen through each other's sincerity, which is worth her unwavering devotion.

Ms. Wen bought new clothes from a nearby women's clothing store.

"Your name is Qianqian, right? Go try it on and see if it fits. Then auntie will take you to dinner."

“Thank you, Auntie!”

After putting on the skirt bought by Ms. Wen, Su Qian's whole temperament changed.

In fact, she has beautiful facial features and a slim figure. She is a quiet and gentle Jiangnan beauty. However, she doesn't like to dress up and always wears loose sportswear, looking like a sloth bear.

During the meal, Su Qian kept asking, "Aunt Wen, do you know Mr. Hua?"

"I've met you a few times at business dinners. But we're not very close."

Su Qian asked again. "So what kind of person do you think he is?"

Wen Lan said, "He's a very outstanding and capable young man. Originally, if the Lu family hadn't come, I might have considered the Hua family."

If Shanglin Group were to dominate a major national project, it would arouse envy and potentially trigger a joint counterattack from the other three major families. Furthermore, laying the groundwork in other regions would be more challenging.

But if we were to choose, Lu's was naturally a better choice than Hua's. A north-south alliance could create a powerful force, sweeping across the nation's business circles. However, Ms. Wen had no prior connections with the Lu family, making it difficult to establish a connection.

"Then why doesn't Aunt Wen cooperate with the Hua family anymore?"

How could Wen Lan explain this kind of thing to a little girl who knew nothing? She just made up an excuse.

"Everything is based on first come first served. Xiao Lu approached me first. We have the same strategy, so of course we hit it off."

"Besides, cooperation also requires friendship. Xiao Lu is Qiqi's brother. The Lu brothers have helped Qiqi many times, so they are more trustworthy."

Qi Xu glanced at Su Qian, who looked a little different than usual, and asked.

"Did Hua Changqing ask you to come and test it?"

Su Qian lowered her head embarrassedly.

"No. He just wanted to invite you to dinner and said he wanted to be friends with you. I thought it was probably a business matter. So I said too much."

Qi Xu reminded her. "Qianqian, I won't interfere with your relationship with him in the future. But don't bring me along."

"I'm a married woman, so it's not appropriate for me to have too much contact with other men. Do you understand?"

Qi Xu said it very tactfully, meaning that he didn't see Hua Changqing's intention, even if Su Qian pulled the strings, it wouldn't work.

Su Qian, this silly girl, doesn't quite understand the meaning of eating among businessmen, but she does.

A good meal is a sign of cooperation. A bad meal is an enemy.

Shanglin Group and the Hua family had no immediate plans for cooperation, but that didn't mean there wouldn't be future business dealings. Therefore, there was no need for a meal; maintaining a nodding relationship was best for now.

Wen Lan was very satisfied with Qi Xu's answer. Her daughter-in-law was really smart and quick-witted. She could understand some things on her own without any instructions.

She picked up some more food for Qi Xu and Su Qian. "Qibaobao, eat more. If you gain some weight, you'll look better."

"Qianqian, you too. See if there's anything else you like. Feel free to ask. You're welcome."

During the meal, Ms. Wen received several more phone calls.

As the president of Shanglin Group, with a business empire worth hundreds of billions on her shoulders, she is so busy every day that she doesn't even have time to have a good meal.

"Qiqi, after you go to Lake City, just stay there. Mom wants to hand over all the business near the southern border to you."

“It just so happens that you have a close relationship with the Lu family. Mom doesn’t have to worry about dealing with them.”

"Now that the new project has just started, Kyoto will be very busy. Over there, I'm counting on you."

As the business grew, so did the Lin Group's territory. Ms. Wen, overwhelmed by the demands of managing all three divisions, decided to have her daughter-in-law take over the Central Plains businesses.

"Okay. I will work hard and be your successor."

Qi Xu's confident and bright smile made Ms. Wen extremely happy. She started to brag about marrying a good daughter-in-law.

"Qiqi, you're the best. Unlike that bastard Youqian, you're unreliable. From childhood, all he knew how to do was tinker with machinery, guns, and the like. He's not ambitious at all..."
