Chapter 043 Zhou Ding is nothing

The Xu family’s manor has a nice view. There is a mountain behind the manor. Even if you are outdoors in this season, there is a slight breeze. This is definitely the first choice for summer heat relief.

In addition, Xu Kaida frantically tried to keep him. Maybe he was afraid that he had accidentally offended Jiang Yiqing yesterday. Anyway, Jiang Yiqing was not in a hurry to leave.

After all, there was nothing to do today.

Xu Kaida saw that Jiang Yiqing didn’t like people following him all the time, so he was very tactful and didn’t disturb him.

Jiang Yiqing was quite curious about the mountain behind Xu Kaida’s manor. After asking him, he knew that the hill was not private and could be climbed. So he simply went up the hill alone.

Although it was summer, the mountain was covered with lush trees and was cooler than the Xu Kaida manor.

Jiang Yiqing also found a bunch of mushrooms. Well, he picked them and made soup.

He climbed the mountain leisurely, but Mei Qian and Zhou Ding were not so leisurely.

Mei Qian spent a lot of effort and finally contacted Mrs. Xu through a noble lady who had a good relationship with Mrs. Xu.

The noble lady had a lot of face in Mrs. Xu's eyes. She told Mrs. Xu about Mei Qian's situation and said at the end: "If you want to see her, you can see her. You don't have to get entangled because of me. I heard that there was something going on in your family recently, so I didn't dare to agree rashly."

If the Xu family's matter had not been resolved, Mrs. Xu would definitely not agree, but wasn't it resolved now? Moreover, bad things turned into good things, and she was in an extremely good mood now.

So she asked who it was, and the lady told her.

"The wife of Zhou's Building Materials?" Mrs. Xu searched her mind for a long time, and finally remembered that there was such a person.

Mrs. Xu didn't have much impression of the Zhou family, but Zhou's business was somewhat related to their Kaida Construction. The two companies had cooperated a little before, but there was no more cooperation afterwards. There

was no problem with that cooperation, and Kaida Construction had taken on a lot of business recently. It was a time when building materials were needed. No matter what, they had to find a partner. Since the lady who had a good relationship with her took the initiative to mention it, she was naturally willing to give the other party a face.

"But today, the manor entertained important guests, and I have to ask Kaida." Mrs. Xu said.

The noble lady smiled and said, "It's okay, no rush. She came to me for help, so I'm just giving her face. You have the final say on whether to meet her or not and when to meet her."

Mrs. Xu asked Xu Kaida, "She said she was visiting in a private capacity, but we all know that she must be here for the building materials business and needs a partner. Do you want to meet her?" Xu Kaida

remembered that the boss of Zhou's had called him yesterday. He was upset by the "water ghost" incident at that time, so his tone was a bit aggressive

. Unexpectedly, the boss of Zhou's was quite kind and didn't get angry because of his attitude. He even sent a text message. Xu Kaida naturally didn't know that Zhou Jing was not only angry, but also furious, and finally incompetent and furious.

In short, because of this, Xu Kaida had a good impression of Zhou, and out of guilt for his bad attitude yesterday, he thought about it and said, "Let's meet, and apologize to him back then. If we can cooperate, then we can cooperate."

Xu Kaida could have built the company to this level today, so it is impossible for him to be completely without emotional intelligence. His attitude yesterday was completely unexpected. In business, harmony makes money. Of course, except for Zhuang Kangyu.

What's more, Kaida Construction and Zhou Building Materials are not in a competitive relationship, so there is no need to make it so stiff. They have come to us in a roundabout way, and it would be unreasonable not to give them face.

Tomorrow, people will spread the word that Xu Kaida is too arrogant.

"Meet today? But, isn't Master Jiang still here?" Mrs. Xu hesitated. Compared to that, entertaining Master Jiang must be more important.

"Master Jiang doesn't care about these people. He just went to the mountain behind. Besides, there is no conflict. Ahem, I guess Master Jiang hopes that we can introduce him to some people." Xu Kaida is also a smart man. If Jiang Yiqing knew that he said this, he would be shocked. How did this guy figure it out in a roundabout way?

Without Xu Kaida saying more, Mrs. Xu immediately understood and said, "Okay, then I will notify them to come over. If Master Jiang is willing, we can also get to know him."

Although Master Jiang is powerful, he is young after all. He looks like he has just entered college. His reputation is definitely not that big. In this regard, they can help him if they can, and they can also leave a good impression on Master Jiang.

Since there was no problem, Madam Xu immediately called the noble lady back and said that she had time today and invited Zhou Ding and his wife to come over to talk about it.

Mei Qian naturally received a reply very quickly. Zhou Ding came over to ask, and she smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu agreed. President Xu is here today too. We should be able to talk about cooperation." Zhou

Ding was relieved when he heard it, and he rarely praised Mei Qian: "Not bad, in some aspects, you women still have to rely on you. It's not convenient for us men to do it."

As expected of Zhou Ding, he always praised people in a roundabout way. Mei Qian smiled and said, "I'll go and clean up. Hey, those jewelry at home have been worn several times, and there's nothing new."

Zhou Ding knew that she was taking the opportunity to buy something. The company was in a recession recently, and Mei Qian was forced to cut back on her clothes. She was already feeling very uncomfortable.

She helped a lot this time, so naturally she had to ask for some benefits.

Sure enough, Zhou Ding was not as stingy as before after hearing this, and gave Mei Qian a bank card, asking her to buy some silver jewelry.

Mei Qian left with the card contentedly. She had solved the worry that had been weighing on her mind yesterday, and felt that she had no worries. Today, she brought such a big business to the company, and she was in a particularly good mood.

Soon, Mei Qian took the newly bought jewelry, dressed up carefully, and went to the Xu family's manor with Zhou Ding.

They didn't have much friendship with the Xu family before, and this was Mei Qian's first time here. Looking at the huge manor, she was envious to death.

They live in a small townhouse with a small yard, which is definitely not comparable to the big manor.

I wonder if they can move to a bigger house if the cooperation is successful. Mei Qian thought about it and never thought about the result of the cooperation not being successful.

Zhou Ding was the same. He even calculated how much the company could earn if the deal was successful.

The two of them had the same idea and soon met Xu Kaida and Mrs. Xu.

No matter what Xu Kaida thought in his heart, he always put on a good show. When he saw Zhou Ding, he apologized embarrassedly: "Boss Zhou, I'm really sorry about yesterday. Something happened at home, and I'm a little emotional... Well, please bear with me."

After a night, the redness and swelling on Xu Kaida's face had almost disappeared. With normal social distance, it was hardly noticeable. At most, people would think that his face was blushing and he looked good.

Zhou Ding was a petty person. He still remembered that Xu Kaida had embarrassed him yesterday. However, he was begging for cooperation now. Even if he held a grudge, he could not say it out.

Naturally, he smiled and said, "Haha, who doesn't have a temper? I know that Boss Xu is not coming for me, so how can he be angry?"

"That's good, that's good." Xu Kaida was also good at speaking, and he looked relieved: "I have been feeling uneasy these past two days. Boss Zhou is so generous, which really makes me feel relieved."

The two of them were talking in a hypocritical way here, and Mei Qian was also talking to Mrs. Xu. For a while, the air was filled with joy.

"By the way, Boss Zhou, you came at the right time. There happened to be a distinguished guest in my house today. I will introduce you to each other later." Xu Kaida said with a smile.

Zhou Ding naturally agreed with a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, what kind of distinguished guest it was.

As long as it didn't affect his business, it would be fine. However, since Xu Kaida said he was a distinguished guest, his identity should be extraordinary, and he should take the opportunity to build a good relationship.

Jiang Yiqing didn't know all this. He picked the mushrooms skillfully and couldn't help sharing his happiness with Wen Xiuyan.

In the end, I don't know what the two of them said, but in the end Jiang Yiqing agreed to Wen Xiuyan and invited him to his home for a mushroom feast.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yiqing reacted: oO

He looked at the mushrooms he picked and exhaled. Fortunately, there were quite a lot. Since he had already promised Wen Xiuyan, there was naturally no reason to regret it.

In addition to mushrooms, there was nothing else found on the mountain. Jiang Yiqing walked around, looked at the scenery for a while, and simply went down the mountain.

He planned to go back to the Xu family's manor to say goodbye. It was already noon, and he would go back to rest for a while before the live broadcast.

He couldn't delay the live broadcast in the evening.

Besides, he was still a little worried about the pigs and dogs at home. Pangpang was okay, after all, he was an old pig of more than 300 years old, but he was a little worried about Naiqiu.

Naiqiu was quite clingy. Although Pangpang was with him at home, he didn't know if he would be sad when he was not around.

At this moment, Jiang Yiqing really realized that he was a dog owner. Thinking about the dog at home, he quickened his pace.

At this moment, a person came towards him. Jiang Yiqing raised his eyebrows, and then felt unlucky to meet him. Well...otherwise, he could pretend not to see him. Anyway, the other party might not know him.

Zhou Ding drank tea for as long as he talked to Xu Kaida. His stomach was rumbling and he felt like it was full of water.

He had no choice but to interrupt Xu Kaida, who

was talking so much, and said he needed to go to the bathroom. This Xu Kaida really talked a lot of nonsense. The two chatted for a long time, but they didn't talk about cooperation. If he hadn't been so excited and spitting, Zhou Ding would have suspected that he was playing a trick on him.

In short, Zhou Ding was in a bad mood. As soon as he didn't face Xu Kaida, he went to find the bathroom with a sullen face. As a result, a young man came towards him.

Zhou Ding paused. He had seen Jiang Yiqing's photo, so it was impossible for him not to recognize him. He just felt a little strange. Why was he here?

Could he work in Xu Kaida's company? It was possible.

Unexpectedly, he found a decent job, which was not too embarrassing. Thinking of this, Zhou Ding

's expression softened a little. He stopped and waited for Jiang Yiqing to come over and say hello to him. In his mind, he had already deduced several attitudes of Jiang Yiqing, nervous, excited, or angry.

After all, Zhou's official account had just released a statement yesterday to sever ties with Jiang Yiqing. Thinking of this, Zhou Ding regretted not hiding and not letting Jiang Yiqing see it.

It's not that he is afraid of the other party. Is he afraid of Jiang Yiqing? The main thing is that this is in the Xu family's manor. If Jiang Yiqing makes a fuss, he will definitely lose face. By then, won't everyone know that he has such a son who is living outside?

Thinking of this, Zhou Ding's face became solemn.

He had already thought of how to get Jiang Yiqing to stop making trouble, but he never expected that Jiang Yiqing would walk towards him and just pass him by, as if he didn't exist at all.

Zhou Ding: "..."

He was just worried that Jiang Yiqing was looking for trouble with him, but now the other party acted as if he didn't see him. He should have breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably dissatisfied.

This kid must be doing it on purpose!

Thinking of this, Zhou Ding didn't care whether it would make trouble or not, and gritted his teeth and said: "Jiang Yiqing, stop it!"

Jiang Yiqing: "..."

Can I pretend not to hear it?

Of course not, because Zhou Ding has already taken two steps at a time and walked in front of him.

Jiang Yiqing frowned slightly: "Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Ding's face turned black: "What's your attitude."

Jiang Yiqing was speechless. Isn't his attitude very normal? Could it be that he would come close to him and call him "Dad"? If that were the case, Zhou Ding would be even more scared, right?

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhou Ding let out a breath, thinking that this was not his own home, he frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yiqing looked at Zhou Ding in wonder, and said speechlessly, "Why am I here? I don't need to report to you, right?"

"You..." Zhou Ding wanted to curse but stopped. In the end, he didn't know what he thought of, and his tone softened a little: "I know you are angry, but don't be angry, I am helpless. After all, I already have my own family..."

Jiang Yiqing: "..." Why are you still acting?

"Well, anyway, don't blame me." Zhou Ding touched his face, like a middle-aged man who is afraid of his wife: "If you want to blame someone, blame your Aunt Mei. If I don't agree to her, this family will be gone."

Jiang Yiqing couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

Zhou Ding, who was acting very hard, was dissatisfied: "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Yiqing smiled and said: "I am laughing. You and Mei Qian are really a perfect match."

Zhou Ding frowned, always feeling that this was not a good thing to say, and he didn't know why Jiang Yiqing suddenly said this.

But after saying a few words to each other, he already agreed with what Mei Qian said to him in his heart, Jiang Yiqing is not a good person.

He came here today to discuss cooperation, so he couldn't mess it up. Zhou Ding thought so, and acted like an elder, saying, "Don't tell others that we know each other later, okay?"

He thought Jiang Yiqing would get upset or at least a little unhappy after he said that, but he didn't expect her to happily say, "I know, we didn't have much of a relationship."

Jiang Yiqing said "tsk" lightly. If you didn't know Zhou Ding, you would think that everyone wanted to be his son.

Zhou Ding was choked by his straightforward attitude. Finally, he snorted coldly and went to the bathroom.

Jiang Yiqing didn't take it to heart at all. He went to find Xu Kaida, but he didn't expect to see Mei Qian.

The other party was chatting with Mrs. Xu. The smile on Mei Qian's face was quite sincere. In comparison, the smile on Mrs. Xu's face was a bit polite.

Xu Kaida was the first to see Jiang Yiqing. He immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, how is it? Isn't the scenery on the mountain nice?"

Jiang Yiqing smiled and said: "It's very nice."

Xu Kaida immediately said: "Then you must come more often in the future. This mountain is even more beautiful in autumn and winter. Each season has its own characteristics."

Mei Qian looked over when Xu Kaida just opened his mouth. When she saw Jiang Yiqing, her face suddenly became strange. She wanted to laugh but couldn't. She could only hide her emotions by drinking tea.

However, Jiang Yiqing still saw it. The other party seemed to be saying "Damn, why are you haunting me?"

Jiang Yiqing only glanced at Mei Qian, and Xu Kaida noticed it and immediately introduced her: "This is Mrs. Zhou. Her husband Zhou Ding is the boss of Zhou's Building Materials. He's going to the bathroom now. You must get to know him when he comes over later, hahaha."

Mei Qian squeezed the teacup hard, and she felt terrible. She hoped that Jiang Yiqing could leave quickly and not run into Zhou Ding.

She had a feeling that if they really ran into each other, the cooperation between Zhou's Building Materials and Kaida Construction might be over.

Damn it, what's going on with this Jiang Yiqing? Not only does he know Wen Xiuyan, he also knows Xu Kaida, and Xu Kaida actually respects him.

Mei Qian felt like she had seen a ghost.

Jiang Yiqing naturally noticed the change in Mei Qian's expression. Originally, he wanted to say goodbye and leave, but now... he suddenly didn't want to leave.

Why leave when there's something fun to watch?

So, Jiang Yiqing sat down in front of the tea table and drank the tea that Xu Kaida had brewed for him. Xu Kaida was smiling and looked very happy.

Mei Qian's mind was full of "It's over, it's over". No, she couldn't just sit there and wait for death. She had to go out to find Zhou Ding.

So, Mei Qian stood up with a smile, and said embarrassedly: "I don't know what happened to my husband. He hasn't come back for so long. I'll go check on him." However

, before she could take the opportunity to walk, Jiang Yiqing put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhou, why are you in such a hurry? I just ran into Mr. Zhou and talked to him for a while. He should be back soon."

Mei Qian: "..."

What could she say? She could only laugh and sit back down, but she was even more uneasy.

Xu Kaida felt that something was wrong between the two of them, and silently gave Mrs. Xu a look. The latter shook her head, indicating that she didn't know what was going on.

Mei Qian had never been so tormented before. She didn't know how many cups of tea she drank. She wanted to stand up again and said that she was going to the bathroom. As a result, before he could say anything, Zhou Ding came back.

Zhou Ding didn't notice that the atmosphere was a little strange, and smiled and said embarrassedly: "Boss Xu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Just after he finished speaking, he saw Jiang Yiqing sitting next to him drinking tea. The other party noticed his gaze and looked at him with a smile.

Zhou Ding's eyelids twitched and looked at Mei Qian: What's going on.

Mei Qian: "..."

Xu Kaida noticed the eye contact between the two and still smiled and said: "It didn't take long, but... Boss Zhou knows Master Jiang?"

Zhou Ding laughed, not knowing what to say. And, what Master Jiang, is it Jiang Yiqing?

Jiang Yiqing smiled and said, "How can Boss Xu say that? We don't know each other."

Xu Kaida thought to himself, this doesn't look like they don't know each other, but whatever Master Jiang said is what it is. If he says he doesn't know him, then just pretend they

don't know each other. Zhou Ding's mind was full of Xu Kaida's words "Master Jiang" and his courtesy to Jiang Yiqing at this moment. He felt bad.

He didn't think Jiang Yiqing had any ability, and his previous investigation didn't find any clues.

How could he know that Jiang Yiqing had not shown any strength before his investigation, so he naturally didn't find anything. As for the future, he didn't bother to investigate again.

Therefore, Zhou Ding felt that Xu Kaida might have been deceived by Jiang Yiqing.

He felt that he should remind Xu Kaida, otherwise Xu Kaida would be deceived and know about his relationship with Jiang Yiqing, which would inevitably anger him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ding frowned and said, "Boss Xu, I see you call him Master Jiang?"

Xu Kaida smiled and wanted to say how powerful Jiang Yiqing was, but before he could say anything, Zhou Ding said, "To be honest, I know him a little bit, he is not that powerful, Boss Xu might have been deceived by him."

He just finished speaking, but Xu Kaida not only did not believe it, but his face turned cold, and immediately looked at Jiang Yiqing, and quickly distanced himself from Zhou Ding: "Master Jiang, I didn't mean that, I originally wanted to introduce you to each other, but I didn't expect him to say such a thing!"

Mei Qian: "..." It's over, it's over.

Jiang Yiqing was still smiling, but this smile actually made people a little scared: "Really? I'm surprised too."

Xu Kaida was afraid of offending this big guy. As for Zhou Ding? What kind of person is he? He has to beg to cooperate with him. If

you give him face, he is a partner. If you don't give him face, he is shit. He even dared to slander Master Jiang like this!

But Zhou Ding saw that he didn't believe it, and continued to say: "What I said is true. He grew up in the mountains since he was a child. How can he have any ability..."

Xu Kaida was even more angry than being scolded. He immediately said: "If you say so, then I have nothing to say to you. I, Xu Kaida, don't bother to associate with such a person! That's it, get out!"

Zhou Ding's eyes widened. He never thought that Xu Kaida would actually drive him out so openly for Jiang Yiqing.

He looked at the closed door, his face turned black, and he muttered unconvincedly: "Your kindness is taken for granted. When you find out you've been cheated, don't cry and regret it!"

Xu Kaida certainly would not regret this. He regretted agreeing to meet Zhou Ding even more. He wiped the sweat off his forehead awkwardly: "Master Jiang, this... I'm really sorry."

"Boss Xu and he are not even friends, how can you blame it?" Jiang Yiqing said in a good mood.

Xu Kaida breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

On the other side, at the entrance of Wen's building, Wen Junrong finally got off work with his brother, and immediately prepared to secretly take his brother's car.

Well, he couldn't let other colleagues find out that he was the younger brother of a capitalist.

He originally wanted to pretend that he didn't know Wen Xiuyan, but he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye, and immediately became excited: "Hey! Brother, look, isn't that my idol? He's here to see you!"

Wen Xiuyan took a breath, turned his head, and saw the person not far away. The disappointment on his face was obvious: "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

Wen Junrong: "..."

It really looks like his idol!

Wen Junrong was dissatisfied. He looked carefully and it seemed that the person was not Jiang Yiqing, but the other party's dress and behavior always felt like he was imitating his idol.

"Oh my god, he's here, why does he look so familiar!" Wen Junrong's eyes widened.
