Chapter 99: Silhouette This picture of peaceful and tranquil times...
This picture of peaceful and tranquil life, for some reason, stung Qi Hanmu's eyes.
Maybe he was also crazy and couldn't bear to see Xia Yiqing sitting at the same table with her ex-boyfriend, especially when it was just the two of them.
Official business, official business.
Two people were having dinner in a western restaurant with a couple's theme. There were only two people at the table, and both of them looked very happy. Could this be business?
Qi Hanmu's fingers hanging by his side curled up unconsciously, but his eyes were fixed on the two figures. He consciously controlled his breathing, trying not to make his breath sound too heavy.
After all, it would be bad if you get sick here.
However, another voice popped up in my heart, do you really want to see Xia Yiqing sitting with someone else?
Don't you want to sit opposite him? Don't you want to drive that man away?
That voice contained three parts of ridicule, four parts of indifference, and three parts of barely perceptible sadness. Admit it, you are a petty-minded man who simply cannot stand seeing your woman with other men.
Not knowing what the girl was talking about, Chen Wen curled the corners of his mouth, looked frivolous, and opened his mouth.
The surveillance camera happened to record his voice, which was not small, saying, "Boss Xia is really capable. Young man, there is a lot of potential, young man, there is a lot of potential!"
Opposite him, Xia Yiqing pursed her lips, the smile in her eyes almost unable to be concealed. Her almond-shaped eyes were watery, as if they could speak, and like two crystal clear purple grapes, very attractive.
Xia Yiqing, who was in the box, had no idea what Qi Hanmu was seeing.
She was just talking about business with Chen Wen. After taking out the folder from her bag and seeing the expectant eyes, she explained the plan in detail.
Chen Wen responded to almost every word he spoke, and he didn't ask many questions. He mostly just listened.
This gave Xia Yiqing a good impression, and she gave Mr. Chen a point in her heart.
After all, strictly speaking, she is like a salesperson, and Chen Wen is like a buyer. It is normal if he refuses to accept or rejects Xia Yiqing's sales promotion.
But Chen Wen did not do so. He seemed like a serious and attentive person, and listened to the proposal of Xia Yiqing's team that had not yet been signed by Chen.
"Sorry, Mr. Xia, I have to interrupt you." Chen Wen raised one hand. Even when he did this action, he looked particularly charming. This was the case for Xia Yiqing, who could help her solve the problem.
"This proposal clearly seems to have no problems. I think it should be able to stand out among many companies. Why didn't we at Chen choose to sign a contract with you?"
This question is a bit difficult to answer. You can't just say that it's a fire in the backyard, which sounds weird.
But after Xia Yiqing thought about it carefully, she couldn't find a better way to say it.
Sincerity is always a sure-win skill. With this in mind, Xia Yiqing took a deep breath, held it for two seconds, and then slowly exhaled as she spoke, "Mr. Chen, when our employees put forward this plan,
"He included his own proposal, which resulted in Chen receiving two proposals. He thought we were not sincere, so he has not signed the contract yet. Please give us a chance."
After hearing this, Chen Wen did not show any contempt, but curled his lips and joined the attack.
"Who would dare to hire an employee like this? He's ruined the company's business. I think you should just fire him right away, Xia Corporation."
When two people are trying to get closer, standing on the same front is the best way to quickly warm up their friendship.
Chen Wen used this method silently, but Xia Yiqing didn't feel much about it and just nodded. She didn't want to judge other people's affairs too much. After all, it was not a good thing to talk about other people's bad things behind their backs.
"This is our Xia family's business," Xia Yiqing's smile gradually faded, and she looked at Chen Wen with a bit more inquiry.
"Plus, they are all insignificant people, so Mr. Chen doesn't need to worry about them."
When the girl blinked her eyes and said these words that were understood by others, it always made people feel as if they were immersed in the spring breeze, especially Xia Yi with her clear eyes and white teeth, and her eyes that were full of brilliance.
Chen Wen drank a glass of low-alcohol wine with her and couldn't help but admire her in his heart. She was worthy of being one of the four beauties of Jiangcheng back then.
"Boss Xia is really capable," Chen Wen was still wearing the pair of gold-rimmed glasses, but he looked different from the elegant scholar he used to look like. Now he had a bit more wildness in him.
"We at Chen's welcome you to join us, as we are able to lead your team to come up with such a plan."
Xia Yiqing put down the wine glass smoothly without any stiffness, but the smile on her face became a little fainter.
"Mr. Chen is joking."
The girl's hand retracted slightly, which stung Qi Hanmu's eyes. He didn't know whether Xia Yiqing did it out of morality or just a brief desire to indulge in lust.
If it was the latter, his heart would have probably been broken into pieces and started to tear in pain.
The manager and boss next to them didn't even dare to breathe, they could only look at each other, hoping that this big Buddha, Master Qi Sanye, could finish watching the surveillance video as soon as possible and leave their small temple.
The man didn't say anything, but the sense of oppression around him was quite strong. He bent his cold white knuckles and tapped the solid wooden table top again and again, making a thumping sound.
Qi Hanmu's eyes were even sharper. It was no exaggeration to say that they seemed to be able to cut through the night at any time.
Even though the knife has not appeared yet and is still hidden in the scabbard, the feeling that its sharp edge will kill with one strike has already been deeply engraved in people's souls the first time they see it.
This person cannot be messed with.
This is the feeling that everyone who has seen Qi Hanmu will have.
The boss was sweating profusely now. He had never expected that the surveillance subject in the video would actually be the son of the Chen family. Both the Qi and Chen families were top-notch families in Jiangcheng. No matter which one he offended, his life would not be easy.
When the boss was wondering whether Mr. Qi would directly close the small restaurant, Mr. Qi, who was sitting upright on the chair, finally spoke again.
"Book the whole place," Qi Hanmu raised his eyes slowly. If those phoenix eyes didn't have much emotion flowing through them, they would give people a sense of ruthlessness, as if this person could easily give up everything.
"Luo Miao."
Luo Miao stepped forward, took out a check with the amount still unfilled, and placed it in front of the boss, showing how rich and powerful he was.
The boss looked at the thin check and suddenly felt hesitant to take it. If he took the check, it would be like selling their store to Mr. San. Then, could the store still be run?
Taking a deep breath, the boss had already thought of what to say. Luo Miao patted the boss on the shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? The Third Master just asked you to clear out the irrelevant personnel. Why don't you go quickly?"
When I received the check, I thought that even if the restaurant changed hands at any time, the owner would still be very ambitious. When I opened my eyes again, I felt tragic.
"Yes, I'll ask someone to clear the area right away."
The glass of that box allows you to see what's going on outside from inside.
After chatting about business with Chen Wen, Xia Yiqing's energy was almost exhausted. She felt a little lazy and didn't want to continue the topic. She just nodded from time to time.
Sensing Xia Yiqing's lack of interest, Chen Wen raised his lips and took the initiative to say goodbye. "Mr. Xia, you look very tired. Why don't you let me take care of the plan first? We can find another time to meet next time."
This is actually quite commendable. After all, in the business world, it is difficult to get things done unless you drink until you are red in the face and neck.
Xia Yiqing was very grateful to Chen Wen for drinking a lot of low-alcohol liquor with her, and even taking the initiative to suggest ending the party without pushing the plan back.
"Mr. Chen, I'd like to toast you."
Unable to say anything else, Xia Yiqing could only raise her hand to fill both of their glasses with wine, raise her glass, and deliberately lower the rim of her glass below Chen Wen to show respect.
"Oh, why are you still going through all this formality?" Chen Wen showed nearly eight teeth when he laughed, looking quite cheerful. He and Qi Hanmu were two different types, probably the typical representatives of the older and younger generations.
"I don't care about the height of the glasses when we clink. Just clink them at the same height as mine. We are partners after all."
There were only two people at the scene, so the atmosphere was quite lively.
It was as if these two people had always gotten along well.
After clinking glasses, Xia Yiqing looked away unintentionally, her heart trembling slowly.
It's strange. Just now the restaurant was crowded with people, and there were even many customers waiting outside. All the seats inside were occupied. How come there is not a single person in sight now?
The strangest thing is that there wasn't even a waiter around. Shouldn't they be cleaning the tables and serving the guests?
"What is Mr. Xia looking at?" Chen Wen's tone was not too harsh, and it sounded like curiosity rather than a question.
Xia Yiqing hadn't intended to hide it from him, so she answered truthfully, "Nothing, I just felt that there were a few people outside, which didn't seem right. It's okay."
Suddenly, a sharp look flashed in Chen Wen's eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
"Boss Xia," he seemed to have a different aura from before, like a tiger in a zoo yawning lazily, baring its fangs.
"You came here to meet me alone. Does your Third Master know?"
The tone of this sentence was not harsh, but it was like a small hammer, hitting Xia Yiqing's heart and causing ripples.
Especially as to the result of this sentence, she was actually unsure.
What difference does it make whether Qi Hanmu knows it or not? This is a way that may be able to save their plan, and it is not too backdoor, so naturally they have to try it.
On the surface, she smiled brightly at Chen Wen, "It seems like Mr. Chen likes to care about other people's family affairs. Is Mr. Chen this curious about every partner he works with?"
When the girl was sitting obediently, she was as pretty and cute as a ragdoll cat, and seemed almost not aggressive at all. Even when she was introducing her plan, her eyes were shining brightly, and she didn't look like she would scratch anyone.
Now, she seemed to have revealed a little bit of her claws. Even if she hadn't scratched the person until he bled, she was slowly showing the other person that she had the ability to do so.
The smile in Chen Wen's eyes deepened.
This girl is interesting. Unlike those guys, she is always delicate and doesn't dare to speak out when something happens.
Just as Chen Wen slowly moved forward and their eyes met, as if about to touch, there was a "bang" and the door was opened wide from the outside to the inside.
It didn't look like a waiter opening the door, but more like someone was kicking it.
Xia Yiqing looked up and saw the silhouette of a man standing behind the kicked-open door, against the light.
