"Um?"
"Fang Xueqing?"
Both General Manager Huang and General Manager Wu were taken aback: "Fang Xueqing, the pride of Jiangnan?"
"Yes, that's her!"
Liu Qingyao said in a low voice, "The ex I dumped is the one who took over. She's also the one who blacklisted me and almost drove me to ruin!"
As they were talking, Fang Xueqing had already sat down in the booth next to them, and then turned her head!
"Hey! Liu Qingyao, you're here having coffee too, what a coincidence!"
Fang Xueqing feigned surprise and said!
"It can't be that much of a coincidence, can it?"
Liu Qingyao's face was icy: "You were following me?"
"Stalking you?"
Fang Xueqing scoffed: "You overestimate yourself. What makes you so special that I would follow you?"
"I was just passing by, can't I just stop by for a cup of coffee?"
"snort!"
Liu Qingyao snorted coldly: "Don't think too highly of yourself!"
"Let me tell you, even if you follow me, I'm not afraid!"
"If you're not afraid, why are you asking?"
Fang Xueqing smiled calmly, stopped arguing with her, and turned her gaze to President Huang and President Wu.
"These two are unfamiliar; are they your new clients?"
"You're curious, aren't you? You still dare to say you weren't following me!"
Liu Qingyao pouted: "It's fine to tell you, yes, they are my new clients!"
"I can introduce you to Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang Yaoji, Mr. Wu, and Mr. Wu Yifan. They've come all the way from Jinjiang to discuss business with me!"
Fang Xueqing frowned slightly!
She had never met Huang Yaoji and Wu Yifan, but she had heard of their names!
Both men are well-known jewelers in Jinjiang and also run jade gambling sites!
Liu Qingyao is a complete novice when it comes to jade, and her company has no business dealings in jade.
Two jewelry tycoons from Jinjiang actually traveled a long distance to Jiangnan to discuss business with Liu Qingyao!
This is very strange. Does Liu Qingyao also want to do business in jade?
At that moment, a thought flashed through her mind: the raw stones in the Pinjiantang warehouse had been switched!
Could it be related to Liu Qingyao?
Could she be the other behind-the-scenes figure Jiang Lin mentioned?
At this moment, Huang Yaoji and Wu Yifan extended their right hands to her!
"Mr. Fang, I've long admired your name. It's a pleasure to meet you today!"
Fang Xueqing snapped out of her daze, extended her right hand and shook hands with each of them, smiling slightly!
"I've heard of your great names, you two jewelry tycoons of Jinjiang. It's an honor to meet you here!"
"Hehe, Mr. Fang, you flatter me!"
"It's just a compliment from outsiders; we wouldn't dare accept the title of 'tycoon'!"
Huang Yaoji chuckled twice: "Mr. Fang, since we've met here by chance, why don't we sit down and have a chat?"
"No need!"
Fang Xueqing shook her head: "I'll just have a cup of coffee and leave. I can't stay too long!"
He then looked at Liu Qingyao and said meaningfully, "President Liu, as far as I know, you have never been involved in the jade business before, and even now!"
"But both Mr. Huang and Mr. Wu are tycoons in the jewelry industry!"
"You just said you were discussing business with them. You're not thinking of entering the jade industry, are you?"
Liu Qingyao was stunned; she hadn't expected Fang Xueqing to ask that question!
It seems she's starting to doubt herself!
However, she quickly calmed down and thought to herself, what's wrong with having doubts?
You have no evidence now!
And what about later! Once I control the entire Hong family's power, what if you find out about the switched raw stones? Do you and Ye Tianyu think you can beat me?
Thinking of this, she nodded directly and said, "Yes, I'm going to enter the jade industry!"
"Doesn't Mr. Fang find this strange?"
"You should know that Ye Tianyu originally worked in the tourism service industry in Tianbao Mountain!"
"Didn't he later also venture into the jade industry?"
A cold glint flashed in Fang Xueqing's beautiful eyes. She was now certain that the matter of the raw stones in the Treasure Appraisal Hall's warehouse being switched was definitely related to Liu Qingyao!
In fact, the batch of genuine raw stones she stole was sold to Huang Yaoji and Wu Yifan!
Their business negotiations here today prove everything!
At that moment, she smiled calmly.
"No, why would I find that strange?"
"Business people will get involved in any project as long as it can make money; that's perfectly normal!"
"Hehe, it's good that you understand this principle!"
Liu Qingyao sneered, "My involvement in the jade industry is none of your concern!"
"I think what you should be concerned about is how to compete with me for the Blue Star Building project tomorrow!"
"Oh, right, we're bidding against you for the Blue Star Building project tomorrow!"
Fang Xueqing looked as if she had just realized something: "It seems you're determined to get the Blue Star Building project!"
"Of course!"
Liu Qingyao became arrogant: "Fang Xueqing, let me tell you, I am no longer the Liu Qingyao I used to be!"
"You will definitely lose to me on the Blue Star Building project tomorrow!"
"Yeah?"
Fang Xueqing said with a half-smile, "Nothing is absolute, and anything is possible. Don't you think it's a bit premature for you to be so certain now?"
"I have the confidence to say that!"
Liu Qingyao said arrogantly, "The Hong Group has the capital to lose, do you dare?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xueqing crossed her arms and looked at her coldly!
Sure enough, everything went exactly as she expected!
Liu Qingyao is relying on the Hong Group's strong financial resources to compete with her for projects at any cost!
Driven by revenge and a desire to reach the pinnacle of life, she willingly descended into depravity, becoming Hong Guoliang's mistress and using his money to achieve her goals by any means necessary!
This woman has gone mad!
After a long while, she gave a playful smile.
"Indeed, you are no longer the Liu Qingyao you used to be!"
"With the Hong Group as your backer, you've become a fearsome female devil!"
Being called a "female devil" by Fang Xueqing would make most people very angry!
However, Liu Qingyao didn't get angry; instead, she laughed!
"Yes, I am a female devil!"
"Fang Xueqing, if you're scared, then give up bidding for the Blue Star Building project tomorrow!"
"That way, we can avoid making a fool of ourselves on the spot!"
"Pfft!"
Fang Xueqing smiled, a bright and radiant smile!
"Liu Qingyao, your idea is wonderful!"
"If I don't compete with you, you can easily win the Blue Star Building project and make a great contribution to the Hong Group!"
His face darkened as he spoke.
"Don't even dream about it!"
"Let me tell you, even if I lose to you, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
"I just want to see how much idle capital the Hong Group actually has for you!"
As he spoke, he stood up and pointed at Liu Qingyao.
See you at the construction site of the Blue Star Building tomorrow.
"I will never give up until the very last moment and will continue to compete with you to the very end."
"When you get back later, tell Hong Guoliang to prepare more funds for you!"
"Otherwise, if I take over the Blue Star Building, you will not only lose face, but you also won't be able to explain yourself to Hong Guoliang!"
After saying his last words, he waved and said, "Mr. Liu, bye-bye, see you tomorrow!"
He tossed his head, turned around, and strode away.
Liu Qingyao stared at her retreating figure, her eyes practically spitting fire.
The arrogant attitude he had deliberately displayed was intended to embarrass Fang Xueqing.
But she turned the tables on him.
Tomorrow is the bidding for the Blue Star Building project, and Fang Xueqing is determined to fight her to the death...
