Chapter 173: Blind Date Is Also a Date...
"Hello, Mr. Mo. I am Kang Deren from Kangda. I am honored that you are interested in our Kangda. I wonder if you have time recently to allow me to visit you in person and discuss the company's affairs with you?"
Kang Deren felt relieved after confirming that 90% of his company's shares fell into Mo Qingyan's hands.
Mo Qingyan is a Chinese after all. As long as Kangda’s shareholders are still Chinese, it will still be a Chinese company.
In this way, even if he lost the company, at least it would still be a Chinese company.
Now, although he is the nominal chairman, I believe he will not be so soon. After all, Mo Qingyan holds so many shares, so she must arrange for her own people to take charge of the company.
Therefore, it is time for him to step down as the chairman of the board.
Therefore, some company matters need to be handed over to Mo Qingyan.
When Mo Qingyan received the call from Kang Deren, she was a little surprised.
Unexpectedly, just ten minutes after he won the Kangda shares, Kang Deren called him.
Although Mo Qingyan felt that she was not cut out for business, she was now the largest shareholder of Kangda and could even be considered the boss.
It is also appropriate to meet with the current company managers.
At the very least, you have to go through the motions.
In two days, I will be participating in the International Food Festival Competition. Mo Qingyan just wanted to take advantage of the time now to quickly resolve all the issues.
However, hundreds of fans are visiting the General's Mansion today, and it is noisy and definitely not suitable for discussing business.
So, Mo Qingyan made an appointment with Kang Deren to discuss things tomorrow morning.
After receiving a clear answer, Kang Deren immediately instructed his subordinates to sort out the company's financial statements for the past two years, and then sort out some important information of the company. Tomorrow I will take these things to the General's Mansion and visit Mo Qingyan.
In the afternoon, after all the fans left, Mo Qingyan, Gao Moqi and others went to a century-old restaurant on the third ring road of Shangjing for dinner.
This store was also introduced by Gao Moqi.
I have to say, the dishes at the restaurants introduced by Gao Moqi are basically all good.
After dinner, Mo Qingyan and her group started shopping at the night market.
There are several famous night market streets in Shangjing.
Mo Qingyan and others visited the most prosperous and famous night market street.
Different from those big shopping malls, the night market is bustling with people, and there are snack shops on both sides of the street. There are so many different kinds of snacks that it’s hard to take your time. Full of the flavor of life.
Mo Qingyan really likes this kind of atmosphere. To put it simply, she just likes to join in the fun.
However, their group made too much noise and attracted quite a lot of onlookers.
Fortunately, when I came out, I brought a lot of security personnel with me.
Otherwise, it would be really difficult to move forward here.
To be honest, although there are many stalls selling snacks at night markets like this, many of the snacks sold are the same.
Therefore, Mo Qingyan just picked out a few snacks special to Beijing and tried them.
The taste is okay, but it’s not particularly delicious.
Later, because there were so many of them, wherever they went, there was always a large group of people following them, which easily caused traffic jams.
So, Mo Qingyan and the others went shopping separately.
Mo Qingyan was with Gao Moqi, while Song Beichen and the others also split up into teams of two.
Walking on the night market street with Gao Moqi, Mo Qingyan chatted with Gao Moqi as they walked.
"Judge Gao, do you have any plans after this state banquet chef competition?"
Mo Qingyan asked.
Gao Moqi said: "I need to go to Country F next month to serve as a judge at the opening ceremony of a beer festival."
Gourmets like them basically travel all over the world.
It is common to go to foreign countries to serve as a judge.
"Country F?" Mo Qingyan thought that the original owner seemed to have never been abroad.
"I've never been to Country F. It would be nice to go and take a look. Let's go together. Our program team just so happens to need to find a different place to broadcast the show. I think Country F is a good choice."
Where the program crew goes to live stream and record the program is actually random.
Basically, the location is chosen three or four days in advance. Just ask the staff to go there and make arrangements in advance.
"However, this is for next month. What are your plans for this month? It's only the beginning of the month, and there's still almost a month left until next month!"
This second-level state banquet chef competition was held on the same day as the International Food Festival Competition. The competition only lasts two or three days.
There is still more than half a month left, and the senior judges can't be idle all the time.
Gao Moqi said: "After the state banquet chef competition is over, I will go back to my hometown."
"Going back to your hometown? Going back to your hometown to visit your parents?" Mo Qingyan said teasingly with a wicked smile: "Are you going back to your hometown for a blind date?"
The senior judge said “hmm”.
"Huh?" Mo Qingyan's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it and said, "No way? Are you really going back to your hometown for a blind date?"
He was just saying it casually.
Gao Moqi said calmly: "My parents did arrange a blind date for me."
After all, he is 27 years old and has never had a girlfriend or boyfriend. His family must be worried.
In fact, his parents have been urging him for several years.
However, he has been very busy in the past few years and has often traveled abroad.
Besides, they are still young, so their parents can only pay lip service to their concerns.
However, he is 27 this year, and after the new year, he will be 28 years old.
His parents, like most ordinary parents in China, are afraid that he will not get married.
Therefore, this time, a death order was given, requiring him to go back for the blind date.
"No way? Judge Gao, with your qualifications, you still need a blind date? How anxious are your uncle and aunt!"
Mo Qingyan had never been urged to get married, but he could understand the helplessness of being urged to get married.
Therefore, I feel deep sympathy for Gao Moqi.
"I guess they're afraid that I'll end up alone." Gao Moqi's tone was full of helplessness.
From his tone, one could also hear his reluctance.
"I see." Mo Qingyan patted Gao Moqi's shoulder. "Haven't you been dating me on the show recently? You helped me with this, and I can't just abandon you as your blind date. If you need anything, I can accompany you back to meet your uncle and aunt, just as your blind date, how about it?"
Mo Qingyan already regarded Gao Moqi as a good friend, so of course she had to help this good friend when he was in trouble.
Gao Moqi said: "This will trouble you."
"It's not a problem. We are on a blind date anyway, right? This doesn't count as fake. Besides, the production crew will soon be broadcasting at another location. Anywhere is fine. It would be nice to visit your hometown, Judge Gao." Mo Qingyan said with a smile.
However, Gao Moqi saw through his intention to watch the show.
However, I didn't care at all.
Because he thought Mo Qingyan's suggestion was good.
Just as Mo Qingyan said, his current identity is indeed Mo Qingyan's blind date partner.
Although, they both knew that this was what the show needed.
But, on the surface, they were indeed blind date partners.
So, it wasn't really deceiving his parents.
Fortunately, the live broadcast has ended now.
Otherwise, Mo Qingyan would not dare to say this to Gao Moqi in public.
Unexpectedly, when they had just discussed it and returned to the general's mansion, Gao Moqi's mother actually called Gao Moqi on video.
"Mo Qi, I have already made an appointment with your Aunt Li. Our two families will meet next Sunday. You must come back. If you dare to break the appointment, I will treat you as if I don't have a son."
Mother Gao was afraid that her son would make another excuse, so she started with a threat that could not be refused.
Gao Moqi looked at his mother who was threatening him seriously on the screen and said calmly, "Mom, it's not necessary."
When Mrs. Gao heard this, she was immediately dissatisfied.
"No need? What do you mean no need? You are already 27. No, in lunar age, you are already 28. After the Chinese New Year, you will be 29. Your cousin who is three years younger than you is getting married this month."
"When your father and I were your age, you were already in kindergarten. And you don't even have a partner now. If I don't find one for you, when will I ever see my good daughter-in-law?"
Mo Qingyan was standing next to Gao Moqi, and couldn't help laughing when she heard Gao's mother's words urging her to get married.
Gao Moqi glanced at Mo Qingyan beside him, and Mo Qingyan winked at him playfully. He looked like he was enjoying a good show.
Gao Moqi turned his head and said to his mother in the video: "I have a blind date."
"What? You have a date? Who? Ask her to come out so I can see her. I'm telling you, don't think of just finding someone to deal with me. I won't be fooled by you."
Just when Gao Moqi wanted to explain that they were a blind date partner, not a lover.
Mo Qingyan came directly in front of Gao Moqi's phone camera, waved her hand, smiled and greeted Gao's mother on the screen, "Hello, Auntie, I am Mo Qi's girlfriend. My name is Mo Qingyan."
Mother Gao originally thought that Gao Moqi was just trying to please her by saying he had a partner.
Didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, a young man with a delicate face suddenly jumped in front of the camera and claimed to be Gao Moqi's boyfriend. This immediately made Gao's mother at a loss.
"Uh...um...are you really our Mo Qi's partner?"
Mother Gao is not a traditional old-fashioned person.
She could completely accept the fact that her son found a male partner.
What she couldn't accept was that her own son didn't have a girlfriend.
As long as Gao Moqi is dating someone, no matter if it's a man or a woman, she can actually accept it.
"Yes, I am." Mo Qingyan felt that this blind date partner could also be considered a type of partner. So, there should be nothing wrong with what he said.
Hearing Mo Qingyan's straightforward answer, Mother Gao's expression changed instantly.
He smiled and said, "Oh, Qingyan, right? You're so handsome. Mo Qi, that kid, didn't even tell us that he had a girlfriend. We've been working and worrying for nothing for so long. Next Saturday, Mo Qi's cousin is getting married. Qingyan, if you're free, how about coming over with Mo Qi to attend the wedding?"
"Okay, no problem." Mo Qingyan agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, okay. Then auntie will wait for you and Mo Qi to come back. As for Qingyan, Mo Qi's aunt called me, but I hung up first. Come back, auntie will call you to chat."
"Okay, bye Auntie."
Mo Qingyan smiled and waved.
"Okay, bye."
Mother Gao smiled and waved to Mo Qingyan, then hung up the phone.
Looking at the hung up video call, Gao Moqi said to Mo Qingyan: "My mother misunderstood."
"Misunderstanding?" Mo Qingyan said with a smile: "Where is the misunderstanding? There is nothing wrong with what I said. This blind date partner is also a partner, isn't he?"
Gao Moqi suddenly felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Mo Qingyan said.
