Chapter 49 Jealous Qi Hanmu was originally...
Qi Hanmu was originally a very patient person, and Xia Yiqing had realized this before.
After feeling the man leave in the middle of the night for almost a month, she thought he had gone out for a social event.
But one day, she found out that Qi Hanmu hadn't come back. Then she heard from Luo Miao that he was sick and had been in the hospital for more than a month. He had heart discomfort in the middle of the night.
Although Luo Miao didn't mean to blame her, Xia Yiqing was shocked.
It's not that she hadn't asked him what was wrong, but the man always had a pale face. He shook his head slightly and opened his eyes again. There was only a coldness and inaccessibility in his phoenix eyes.
Perhaps he was born to be a superior, always so arrogant.
Even in front of the one you love, it is difficult to bow your head.
"Are you okay?" The caring words finally came out of his mouth involuntarily.
"If there's anything, please don't bother Miss Xia. In Miss Xia's eyes, I'm far less important than her job."
The man spoke clearly, as if every word he spitted out was a nail. Although his tone sounded a little weak, his words were unquestionable.
Coupled with that empty yet sharp look, Xia Yiqing felt blocked in her heart for a moment, and seemed to be unable to speak.
What can she say?
What else can she do?
He is always like this. Once he feels uncomfortable, he will do everything he can to raise all his thorns, open his defenses, and exclude her.
Even though she knew the reason, Xia Yiqing still felt a little blocked and depressed.
She is not the worm in his stomach. If he doesn't tell her, how can she know whether he is feeling uncomfortable or not?
“Dongdongdong——”
A soft voice was heard from behind a knock on the door. It was Lili, Xia Lie's assistant.
"Manager Xia, tonight's dinner is about to start. President Xia asked me to come over and remind you."
It wasn't very good news. Xia Yiqing forced a smile and picked up the bag she had packed. "Mr. Qi, I'll be leaving first."
In fact, Xia Yiqing's temper was not that good. Even after taking a few steps, she still felt very upset. When she put her hand on the door handle and was about to press it, the words in her heart finally blurted out.
The voice was not loud. "Boss Qi's attitude will make me think that you are jealous of my work, but I also know that this is impossible. You are the high and mighty Third Master of Jiangcheng.
"And I'm just an ordinary person. If you want to coax me, don't use this attitude to deceive me."
Because being favored is addictive.
If you are reckless in love, it is very likely that you will end up dying.
Xia Yiqing's mother is the most obvious example.
She married Xia Yiqing's father in her best years of life, and accompanied him to build his career step by step, from a poor boy to the president of a group, while she herself became a yellow-faced woman at home.
Even though she felt she owed her daughter a lot, she could not live without her father after all, so she could only grit her teeth and make a living under her father's care.
If Xia Yiqing hadn't seen her mother's college diploma from many years ago when she was tidying up the study, she wouldn't have known about it.
It turns out that this ordinary housewife has also received higher education.
Unfortunately, once a smart woman is blinded by love, her ending will only be endless misery and gloom.
With the clatter of her high heels, Xia Yiqing walked out quickly. Under Lili's guidance, she carefully answered questions about the plan raised in today's meeting.
"The advantage of this new pair of women's shoes is the price, but because the style is ordinary, the competition may be less advantageous.
"You guys should explore some more relevant highlights, otherwise your competitiveness won't be very high."
Lili stopped in front and made a gesture of invitation with her hand, "Manager Xia, please come in."
There was already someone in the car, it was Xia Lie, who had just met Xia Yiqing this morning.
Seeing Xia Yiqing, he smiled appropriately, "For tonight's cooperation, Manager Xia, please don't be too drunk, otherwise the cooperation will not be successful."
After saying this, the corners of his mouth rose silently, and his whole body was in capital letters.
"proud".
He seems to be very experienced.
"It's too early to talk about this now," Xia Yiqing fastened her seat belt.
"This cooperation should be handled by President Xia. Even if the negotiation fails, President Xia should bear the main responsibility."
Xia Lie chuckled twice and started talking about other topics, trying to change the subject.
Seeing Xia Yiqing's eyes half closed and humming from time to time, her attitude did not seem like she was talking to him at all. Xia Lie did not show it on his face and seemed to stop talking awkwardly, but in fact, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
If you ignore me now, when something really happens, it will all be on you. Let's see how you deal with it.
When Xia Yiqing stepped into Quanshanju again, she felt as if she was in another world.
Everything here is still the same as when she and Qi Hanmu came here not long ago.
The Chinese-style buildings stretch across half the mountain, with flying eaves, waterfalls, pavilions and towers, which have a strong ancient charm.
As night falls, Chinese red lanterns are hung in many places at the foot of the mountain, interspersed with a few palace lanterns. They are simple in style but exquisitely made, and they are emitting light slowly, which is gentle and has an ancient charm, making people feel peaceful.
This Quanshanju is indeed different from other places in Jiangcheng.
Unfortunately, they could only stop at the foot of the mountain. Going further up was a place only the powerful and wealthy could enter.
Xia Lie was still cursing, "He really knows how to make money. Opening a VIP card costs millions a month, but he can only book the lowest-level rooms. I don't know who the boss behind this is."
After getting off the car, Xia Yiqing was very quiet all the way.
She glanced back inadvertently and saw car lights coming towards her. The yellow light was dazzling, and Xia Yiqing squinted her eyes.
It is a completely black car with smooth lines and a moderate speed, like a nimble cheetah that runs silently.
In short, two words: luxury car.
Xia Yiqing squinted her eyes again. She felt that maybe because she had been looking at the computer for too long, her eyes were about to go on strike today. But she always felt that the car looked familiar, but the distance was too far and she couldn't see the license plate number clearly.
Xia Lie's impatient voice came from the front, "Come here quickly, are you going to let the guests wait for you? The guests are almost here."
Xia Yiqing had no choice but to purse her lips, walk forward, and put aside the doubts in her heart.
"Are all the people here to talk business?" she said casually.
"Why are you asking this? Why do you care so much?" Xia Lie lowered his head and pressed his phone. Suddenly, as if remembering something, he looked at Xia Yiqing.
"As long as you get the contract tonight, Second Uncle will naturally look up to you."
Xia Yiqing gave a standard smile and said nothing.
Do you really think I'm a fool? If the deal is done, the credit will go to Xia Lie. If it fails, the blame will be put on her?
Sometimes it is necessary to hide one's shortcomings. "How can I take on this responsibility? Even Mr. Xia is not sure that the deal can be concluded 100%. I am just a small manager who came here to learn.
"It's normal that we can't reach an agreement. Besides, it's not me who's in charge of the negotiations, right, Mr. Xia?"
Xia Lie paused and looked at Xia Yiqing with a more inquiring look.
When did this cousin become so smart?
Didn’t Second Uncle say that she had extraordinary feelings for Xia and was determined to prove herself?
This kind of people are probably the easiest to fall into traps. They want to use small opportunities to gain great achievements. In fact, if you think about it, you will know that it is impossible.
Unexpectedly, this cousin actually has some abilities.
Thinking of this, Xia Lie was worried about his plan for tonight. If she continued to be so uncooperative, would his plan be able to be carried out smoothly?
The waiter in a well-dressed Zhongshan suit led the three people into a private room.
There is a large round table in the inner room, with a simple style. Looking up, there is also a rosewood screen. There is even an antique shelf next to it, with a few antiques on it. I don’t know whether it is real or fake.
"Oh, it looks quite like this. No wonder the fee is so high." Xia Lie was not interested in antiques, but he still walked to the antique display cabinet out of curiosity and looked left and right.
After all, the circle of powerful people in Jiangcheng is so small. Even if he doesn't like antiques, there will always be people who like antiques. It's not a bad idea to learn some knowledge about antiques.
Xia Yiqing didn't jump up and down like a monkey like him. Instead, she calmly sat down, then slowly raised her eyes and said, "These things are all true."
"Ah?" Xia Lie had just picked up a blue and white porcelain vase, and when he heard this, his hand trembled and he almost dropped it.
"Is this true?"
"Why would I lie to you? I was just worried that you wouldn't have the money to pay for it if you broke it, and that would bring shame to the Xia family."
Xia Lie's fingers were trembling. These antiques certainly looked expensive, and the styles were quite good. "These things can't be worth hundreds of millions, right?"
"I'm not sure. If it's an antique collected by the store, the price will naturally be high as it's a bit older."
Xia Lie put it back and realized he was being too cautious. He became a little angry and said, "When did you learn about antique appraisal? You're just trying to trick me."
Not taking it too seriously, Xia Yiqing shrugged.
"It's just a reminder. If you don't want to believe it, there's nothing I can do. I won't bear the consequences, though. After all, you're an adult and should be responsible for your own actions. Don't blame me when you have to pay."
At Xia Lie's signal, Lili had no choice but to step forward and smooth things over. "Manager Xia, Mr. Xia didn't mean that. He just spoke a little harshly. Please don't take it personally."
"Oh." He's just a kid, don't let him go, right? She understood.
Once the box became quiet, it was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. The sound insulation here was quite good. There was also a box next door, but the sound could not get through at all.
The ceiling lights are also imitations of ancient ones, with flowers, birds, mountains and grasses painted on them, which gives it a sense of leisure and elegance. It seems that the boss here is a man of temperament.
“Dongdong——”
The waiter's voice came from outside the door, "Two distinguished guests inside, there are guests outside."
Xia Lie reached out and combed his hair, then quickly walked to the door, opened it on his own initiative, and said with a flattering smile, "Boss Sun, you're here."
The man called Mr. Sun is a middle-aged man with a big belly. He may look like a successful person. After all, his beer belly is too obvious and the bald spot on his head is too obvious. It is really hard to avoid him.
The most obvious thing was the pair of rolling eyes, which rolled around in the box and then fixed on Xia Yiqing.
"Hey, I haven't seen this before, what a beautiful lady."
Before, Xia Yiqing never responded to such lustful looks, but now she seems to be indifferent.
So she raised her face, calm and fearless, and looked into Mr. Sun's eyes.
