Chapter 37
Joe was also busy with the operations of the entire company because a previous batch of goods was intercepted in Alaska.
So now Party A has found her.
The two parties agreed to meet in an upscale bar in San Francisco.
The luxurious private room made it seem like everyone present had their own ulterior motives.
A blond man sat at the main seat, a cigarette in his hand.
He held a black-haired beauty in his arms, his movements frivolous.
"Qiao, the company headquarters trusted you and gave you this important task, but now the results seem a little unsatisfactory..."
The man's words were meaningful, and it was clear that he wanted her to come up with some solutions that would satisfy both parties.
Joe also smiled formally. "Mr. Elros, please don't be anxious. Please give me some time. I'm sure I can give you a satisfactory answer."
What she said was a bit official, and it could be considered as Tai Chi, but it was obvious that men were very fond of it.
"What if your compensation plan doesn't satisfy me?" Elros narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked nonchalantly.
"Then it's up to you to come up with the compensation plan yourself."
"Oh?" The man thought for a moment, "Mr. Qiao's daughter is so smart, a marriage between the two powerful people is not a bad idea."
As soon as he said this, the whole box fell into a strange silence.
The woman in Elros' arms leaned against him like a little bird, seemingly unaware of the tense atmosphere between the two of them.
He even had the mind to pour a glass of red wine for both parties.
"Mr. Elros," Joe also called his name, "I guess you forgot something important."
The man paused, not understanding what she meant, and subconsciously asked: "What?"
"I already have a partner."
If the atmosphere just froze, then now it has dropped to freezing point.
The two people's eyes collided in the air, as if sparks of lightning were created.
"But, Joe, marriages still get divorced. Besides, the other party is just your boyfriend."
"Elros," Joe also said softly, "When did I say he was my boyfriend?"
Her words stunned the man for a moment. He had never expected her to say that.
Immediately, the man slapped his thigh and laughed heartily. "So that's how it is. I was the one who was abrupt. It's my fault. Come, I'll drink a glass as punishment. I hope you, Mr. Qiao, will be magnanimous and not take today's trivial matter to heart."
Qiao Ye also raised his glass and said calmly, "That's not the case. After all, everyone makes mistakes sometimes. If you fuss over every little thing, wouldn't that make you a failure in life?"
"Okay, okay, Qiao, you're the one with the idea. How about this? Give me a deadline. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good idea to keep me waiting like this, right?"
Qiao also realized that Elros was determined to get a result today. She glanced at the calendar and roughly calculated the time.
According to He Shanyi's personality, the problem will be resolved in half a month at most.
However, in order to prevent accidents, it is better to reserve a little more time.
"Three weeks."
Joe also made a "three" gesture and said, "Give me three weeks and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
"That's good." Elros stood up, and the beautiful woman beside him stood up with him. "We are all businessmen, there is no need to make such an ugly scene. Then, I will wait for your news, Joe."
"Of course." Qiao Ye also stood up and nodded to him with a smile.
After watching Elros leave, the smile on Joe's face gradually disappeared and he returned to his original cold look.
"Mr. Qiao actually has a lover? I've never heard of it before..."
Before the secretary beside him could finish his words, Qiao Ye slapped him coldly, "I guess you should know better than me what to say and what not to say, right?"
"Ha...haha..." Receiving Qiao Ye's signal, the other party laughed, "Got it, got it. This matter won't leak out."
As he spoke, the secretary also made a gesture of closing his mouth, indicating that he would never tell this to anyone.
Seeing him like this, Qiao strode away.
It was drizzling outside. The secretary walked behind her and held up a large black umbrella.
And at the door, there was a very flashy red convertible parked there.
The car window slowly rolled down, revealing Elros's golden hair, and then a huge pair of exaggerated sunglasses were put on his face.
He whistled at her and said in French: "Hey, do you need me to take you home?"
Joe also glanced at him and said in fluent French: "You'd better go back by yourself."
Elros didn't care about being rejected. He shrugged and said, "I thought I would have the honor of knowing where your home is."
"Then I'm very sorry, it seems you don't have the honor."
Joe wasn't buying it at all.
"Alright, alright. Then I won't be a gentleman and take the lady home."
"goodbye."
After saying that, the flashy convertible sped away.
It quickly disappeared from her sight.
At the same time, a black SUV slowly stopped in front of her.
The secretary stepped forward and opened the car door for her.
The temperature in the city dropped sharply at this time, but the temperature inside the car was well maintained and people did not feel cold.
The secretary sat in the front and Joe sat in the back.
She closed her eyes and listened to her secretary reporting on the recent work done while she was away.
She seemed to have heard something, and slowly opened her eyes. She asked with a half-smile, "Are you saying that a traitor appeared in the company during my absence?"
Seeing Qiao Ye's expression, the secretary swallowed his saliva. His intuition told him that it would be better not to provoke her at this time.
"What the traitor said is a bit..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard Qiao Ye chuckle and a cold voice rang out, "Don't you think he's a traitor?"
"this……"
"If I remember correctly, I paid hush money for ten whole years."
Qiao Ye's slender fingers tapped on the small wooden table in the car, making one crisp sound after another.
It was like some kind of alarm bell, heralding someone's last words.
"Sue him for me." Joe said lightly.
"……yes."
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Joe smiled and asked casually, "Why, do you want to experience the feeling of being sued too?"
"Me?" The man pointed at himself and chuckled dryly. "Hehe... I'd better forget it. After all, I consider myself a pretty law-abiding person... Hehe..."
Seeing his expression, Qiao snorted coldly, "That's better. Remember to call me when the car arrives."
"Okay. Then you can rest for a while."
"Um."
It’s called rest, but it’s just closing your eyes and taking a nap for a while.
She had just said those words for some unknown reason. If she didn't find a reason to get rid of Elros, once his family found Qiao Yang and expressed their desire for marriage, then what happened afterwards would no longer be under her control.
But... thinking of this, she slowly opened her eyes and looked out the window.
When she said this, the face that came to her mind was Pei Qing.
She shook her head in self-mockery. It was already this late, and she still had the mind to think about these things?
The rain wet the car windows, and even when looking out the window, it was still hazy and difficult to see what was happening outside.
The car soon arrived at her house. Qiao got out holding an umbrella and nodded to the secretary. "Thank you for your time recently. If you need to take a vacation to adjust, you can go to the HR department and tell them that it was me who asked."
"OK."
Joe also stood at the door and watched the car leave.
Before she returned to her room, she heard some rustling sounds in the yard.
She originally thought it was her illusion and was about to open the door when the noises started again.
Only then did she hold her umbrella and walk towards the direction where the sound came from.
The place where she lives is one of the most prosperous areas in Country M. The security facilities nearby are also very good, so there will be no theft or anything like that.
Qiao also slowly walked into the flowers nearby.
Gently push aside the wet leaves to reveal what's underneath.
It was a little wild cat, all wet.
This little wild cat looks only one or two months old. It is black all over, with only the pads on its paws being pink.
But it was too thin, with only skin and bones left on its body, but it still opened its mouth and meowed.
Joe just took a look at it and put it back.
She is not Pei Qing and is not interested in cats and dogs.
The woman turned around and left, not caring at all about the kitten that was still meowing behind her.
Her yard is quite large, so once you enter the room, you can hardly hear any noise from outside.
So after Joe closed the door, he never went out again.
She took a shower, changed into a four-piece suit, and lay down on the bed to get ready for sleep.
The only sound in the entire room was the ticking clock in the living room.
At one o'clock in the morning, Joe also opened his eyes.
She still couldn't sleep, so she put on a coat and walked out of the room.
She went to the garden again and pushed aside the weeds. The little black cat was still there, but its breathing was weaker than when she came back at night.
It seemed that if she had come a little later, the kitten would have died here.
Joe also grabbed its neck, looked at it blankly, and said impatiently: "Hey, if you dare to die in my house, I will feed your body to the rats."
Perhaps the kitten understood what she said and meowed.
Jo stared at it too, then put on a coat, drove out of the garage, resignedly placed the kitten on her passenger seat, and drove away at lightning speed to the nearest veterinary hospital.
Although she doesn't like these little animals, she can't really ignore them.
If they were not at her house, then she would have nothing to do with the animals outside.
Fortunately, she was lucky tonight and found a 24-hour pet shop. After entering, she threw the kitten directly to the front desk and sat there as if it was worth two and a half million.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Hello, check it out."
The girl at the front desk was dozing off, but was immediately awakened by her voice. She quickly replied, "Okay. Please wait a moment, sir."
Joe also looked at the cat and said, not knowing whether he was talking to the cat or someone else, "If you are not sick, I will take you home."
