Chapter 81 Partners
"Are you going to the mountain city?" Qin Fang took a look at the flight address and asked Xu Qingsui in surprise.
Xu Qingsui nodded: "Yes, Brother Qin, are you going to Shancheng too?"
"How can it be called a coincidence!" Qin Fang laughed: "We have been destined to be together since we were little!"
"Are you alone?" Qin Fang asked curiously, "What are you doing in Shancheng?"
"On a business trip." Xu Qingsui replied.
"Huo Xilin is not with you?"
When mentioning Huo Xilin, Xu Qingsui's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal, and said: "He is a busy man, so he naturally has to take charge of the company. I am on a business trip for work, not for vacation."
Qin Fang's eyes flashed. Even though she acted normal, he could see through her sadness at a glance.
Her eyes were red, she probably didn't know it, but it was so obvious in his eyes.
"What are you going to do on this business trip? Tell me, maybe I can help." Qin Fang did not directly expose Xu Qingsui's thoughts, but changed the topic to work.
Xu Qingsui hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you know about intellectual property companies?"
Qin Fang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and asked, "Are you going to discuss cooperation with Intellectual Property this time?"
Xu Qingsui nodded: "The intellectual property company has developed an AI software, and our company wants to buy it. I am going there to learn about this software."
Huo Xilin has handed the purchase right to her. If it is suitable, they can directly negotiate and sign the contract. She will be fully responsible for this project.
This was Xu Qingsui's first project that she took on independently, so she naturally attached great importance to it. She was still a little nervous inside and was afraid of messing up.
"Is the software you are talking about used for statistical data?" Qin Fang asked.
Xu Qingsui was slightly surprised: "Brother Qin, how did you know?"
Qin Fang showed a smug smile and asked Xu Qingsui, "Are you not curious at all about what I am doing in Shancheng this time?"
Xu Qingsui seemed to have thought of something and asked in disbelief, "You are not going to buy this software as well?"
Xu Qingsui recalled that when Huo Xilin handed the project to her, he specifically reminded her that this software was very popular and many large companies wanted to buy it. As you can imagine, the competition was naturally very fierce.
Purchasing this software is not just a matter of money, it also involves very complicated cooperative dealings. If Huo Xilin were to take action, it would be a piece of cake, but if Xu Qingsui were to take action, it would be a different story.
Xu Qingsui didn’t know much about other companies, but Qin Fang’s strength was right in front of him. If he were to compete with Qin Fang, Xu Qingsui felt that he would definitely lose.
Qin Fang looked at Xu Qingsui's hesitant and pitiful appearance and found him very cute and funny.
"Okay, don't be nervous. I'm not your competitor." Qin Fang was afraid of scaring her to tears, so he quickly comforted her and said, "To tell you the truth, Zhiquan is a branch of Qin's. I went there to receive our partners."
After saying that, Qin Fang extended his hand: "Hello, partner, I am Qin Fang, the representative of the intellectual property company."
Xu Qingsui: “…”
It really felt like a roller coaster ride.
There are such coincidences in the world!
Before she could even think straight, Qin Fang had already spontaneously held her hand and said, "We'll learn more about the details when we get to the company. Believe me, this software will not disappoint your company."
"By the way, how long will your business trip be this time?" Qin Fang let go of his hand and asked.
Xu Qingsui said truthfully: "One week."
Qin Fang was slightly surprised: "I didn't expect your boss to be so generous to you. The cooperation was settled in one day at most. He gave you a week. Does he want you to go on a public-funded tour to the mountain city?"
Xu Qingsui nodded: "I guess so."
Perhaps he was afraid that she would stay in the city and disturb him and Yan Xisui, so he sent her away on purpose.
Of course, Xu Qingsui didn't dare tell anyone about these thoughts. She could only be sad secretly and obey Huo Xilin's arrangements.
"That's great!" Qin Fang slapped his thigh happily, not caring about the looks others were giving him. He smiled and said to Xu Qingsui, "I know the mountain city best. I'll be your tour guide and make sure you have fun!"
Qin Fang looks cold and evil when he is not smiling, but looks like a sunny boy when he smiles.
Seeing his happy face, Xu Qingsui recalled the scenes when they played together as children. At that time, he always loved to laugh, and he would never get angry no matter how she teased him. He would follow her around all the time like a follower.
But people are really weird sometimes. The people they like don’t like them, and the people who like them don’t like them either.
How wonderful it would be if human hearts could be controlled by thoughts, then people would have fewer worries.
"Brother Qin, thank you. I have some other things to deal with, so I don't have time to play." Xu Qingsui said apologetically.
She wanted to keep her distance from Qin Fang. She understood his feelings for her, but unfortunately she could not give him anything.
Facing Xu Qingsui's rejection, Qin Fang didn't mind at all. He asked curiously, "Oh? What's the matter?"
"Mr. Zhang invited me to visit and study the newly unearthed cultural relics in the mountain city." Xu Qingsui said truthfully.
"Mr. Zhang? Are you talking about Zhang Maocai?" Qin Fang asked.
"Yes." Xu Qingsui asked in surprise: "Do you know him?"
"I met that old man when I was a child. He was not a good person." Qin Fang snorted coldly, and then said: "But he definitely has no bad intentions towards you. You have been interested in studying antiques since you were a child. It's good for you to study with him. He doesn't have any children, so he will probably train you as his heir."
Judging from what Qin Fang said, there seemed to be some grudge between him and Mr. Zhang.
However, Xu Qingsui did not ask too much, and just nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, he wants to take me as his last disciple, but unfortunately my time is limited, and I am still focusing on work. I am afraid that I will disappoint him."
She can only study her antique collection in her spare time.
"Huo Xilin forced you to go to work?" Qin Fang frowned and said unhappily, "You can do what you like, why do you have to listen to him? Even if you are husband and wife, you didn't sign an unfair clause. Why should he control you?"
Qin Fang's words made Xu Qingsui sigh. Although he did not sign any unfair terms, he did sign some terms.
As long as that agreement was in place, she would never be free.
Huo Xilin helped her heal her brother and also stood up for her when she needed help. She could never repay such a kindness even if she spent her whole life doing it.
