Jiang Zhi continued smoking.
Wisps of white smoke rose and scattered... his mood, too, soared and then sank...
He recognized her as Qiao Chu at a glance!
The eldest daughter of the Qiao Group is nothing more than an adopted daughter.
Four years ago, they crossed paths at the World Supermodel Competition held in Country Y.
She was the champion of this year's World Supermodel Contest, and he presented her with the award.
After that, rumors of an affair between them surfaced.
It all started with a little incident before the competition.
As one of the judges, he went to the restroom before the competition.
By sheer coincidence, he ran into her.
At that moment, her expression was pained.
Out of goodwill, he chatted with her for a few minutes.
Upon learning that she was suffering from abdominal pain, he had someone send her medicine...
After the match, she used him to create hype!
Various rumors flew around, causing him a lot of trouble and annoyance.
In truth, the car accident was caused by her...
Suddenly, a sinister aura gathered between Jiang Zhi's brows, making his cold and stern face appear somewhat dark.
His unfathomable gaze was as if covered by a layer of frost.
*****
In the afternoon, Xiao Liu came back.
"Master Zhi, all the information you requested is here. Miss Qiao lives at Jade Lake Villa, not far from us. Oh dear, I hadn't noticed before."
"..."
"The master has been moved into a VIP ward, and Dr. Nangong is following up on him."
"..."
“I met with Qin Yun. Everything is normal at Dongyang Group; they haven’t taken any action. Rong’s Group is making some moves. They’ve met with Kevin, the design director of Qiao’s Group, a few times. They’re probably planning to acquire Qiao’s Group.”
Jiang Zhi's expression remained serious and cold.
His eyes, however, were very sharp.
He took the file bag and began to read it.
"Is the funding ready?"
"The 100 billion yuan has been secured, and all the personnel have arrived."
"As soon as the Rong Group makes a move, immediately buy up all of the Qiao Group's shares, as many as possible!"
Currently, Rong's Group holds 28% of the shares of Qiao's Group.
"The Qiao family holds 48% of the shares, that's enough!"
"Miss Qiao saved the master, the master..."
Seeing the young master's sharp eyes, which were like those of a cheetah, Xiao Liu didn't dare to continue.
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Liu said something else, "Master Zhi, I found Miss Qiao's alternate account, a food blogger called Happy Little Foodie! She already has tens of millions of followers, and that account has only been open for a little over two years."
"..."
"I've seen the videos on her alternate account, they're very tempting! The view count is incredibly high..."
Jiang Zhi glared at him fiercely, and Xiao Liu immediately shut up.
*****
Qiao Chu retired from the entertainment industry at the height of her career!
The president of Yunshang has a real girlfriend, who is the second young lady of the Rong Group!
Qiao Chu was able to live quietly in Yuhu Township without being disturbed by the media, which was actually due to the arrangements made by President Yunshang!
...
Suddenly, Jiang Zhi called out to Xiao Liu.
"Have you finished preparing the confidentiality agreement I asked you to?"
"It's done."
"Walk!"
"Master Zhi, shall we go to Jade Lake Lodge to see Miss Qiao?"
Instantly, Jiang Zhi rolled his eyes at Xiao Liu.
The master's temper was still unpredictable, so Xiao Liu dared not say another word.
*****
As they approached Jade Lake Cottage, the sound of the zither became clearer to Jiang Zhi and Xiao Liu.
"Master Zhi, this music is just like what we hear every day..."
With a glare like a cheetah's sharp eyes, Xiao Liu instantly shut up.
Right at the entrance of Yuhu Xiaozhu, they were all stunned by what they saw.
A very charming little courtyard, filled with the fragrance of flowers.
Under the grape trellis, Qiao Chu, dressed in a white Hanfu, was playing the zither with graceful and skillful movements.
Her flowing long hair was adorned with a jade hairpin; she looked absolutely stunning!
The music is so beautiful!
Xiao Liu quickly took out her phone to record a video, exclaiming, "This is the real Little Dragon Girl! No, she's even more ethereal than Little Dragon Girl!"
