After her child recovered, Xiao Hua squeezed out some time from her busy schedule to take Kang An and He Yan to a neighboring city for a day and a half. She had to rush back for the last half day because of school matters.
It had only been a day and a half, but Kang An was already very happy.
Looking at her happy child, Xiaohua wondered if all her hard work was really just for her child. She knew perfectly well what her child wanted.
But after a brief moment of self-reflection, when she received He Yu's call, she immediately threw herself back into her work.
He Yan drove very steadily, and Xiao Hua put on a delicate makeup on her way back.
He Yan turned his head and glanced at the woman who was incredibly beautiful. She was wearing a sophisticated and capable pantsuit, looking both beautiful and cool, more like a queen than a princess.
Yes, the Queen knew perfectly well that Xiaohua didn't want to be any man's little princess; she only wanted to be her own queen.
If she becomes queen, could he be the little man behind her? He wouldn't mind at all.
He Yan drove to the address He Yu had given him. It was a five-star hotel with a high-end restaurant, suitable for business people to dine and discuss business.
"I'm going downstairs. You take the child home first. Oh, and remember to remove the towel from the child's back when you get home, and then wash the child's hands and face and apply lotion. It's windy today, so apply a thick layer of lotion to prevent the face from chapped."
After Xiaohua finished speaking, she got out of the car, looked down and gently waved to the child in the car: "Kang'an, say goodbye to Mommy."
Kang An waved goodbye to Xiao Hua with reluctance: "Mom, bye-bye, come back soon."
Xiaohua nodded: "Okay, my Kang'an baby, Mommy will come back soon."
When Xiaohua arrived, the investors were already there. He Yu quickly stood up, pulled Xiaohua aside, and pointed to the man sitting at the main table, introducing him: "Xiaohua, this is Mr. Xu Xiangqian, the general manager of Hongsen Manufacturing."
He then pointed to the lady sitting next to Xu Xiangqian and introduced her, "This is Mr. Xu's secretary, Ms. Yin Lu."
Xiao Hua quickly extended her hand with a big smile: "Hello, Mr. Xu."
Xu Xiangqian was somewhat arrogant, and he always treated doing business with such a beautiful woman with a hint of disdain.
I suspect these women have used their beauty and bodies quite a bit in the business world!
Xiao Hua's outstretched hand remained untouched for a long time, leaving both Xiao Hua and He Yu feeling awkward.
Xiao Hua reached out to the secretary next to her: "Hello, Ms. Yin, my name is Ye Xiao Hua, and I am also the general manager of Meng Dongfang."
Yin Lu glanced at her boss, but he didn't give any indication, so she didn't dare to make any decisions on her own.
He then said, "Mr. Ye, please sit down and have a meal first. We can chat while we eat."
He Yu pulled Xiao Hua along, saying, "That's right, Xiao Hua, let's sit down and start eating. President Xu and Secretary Yin are probably hungry too."
Xiaohua's face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
When you're doing business, you can tolerate the grievances and attitudes you might have if you want to get money from others and save your own.
"Mr. Xu, I'm not exactly a smooth talker. I'll drink this glass first as a sign of my appreciation. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to have dinner with us. He Yu and I are both very honored."
After saying that, Xiaohua drank the two ounces of baijiu in one gulp.
"Mr. Ye, drink slowly, eat something before you drink."
Seeing how generous Xiao Hua was, drinking two ounces of baijiu without hesitation, Yin Lu realized that Xiao Hua was indeed quite capable.
Xu Xiangqian observed her expressionlessly.
"Mr. Ye seems to be a seasoned drinker."
Ye Xiaohua knew he was being sarcastic; this kind of man actually looked down on women deep down.
But so what if she looks down on her? She doesn't care whether she respects her or not.
She only cared whether he had enough money in his pocket for her to use. As for how he viewed her, that was his business. After all, she wasn't the woman who slept in the same bed, ate at the same table, and lived with him.
"Isn't this to thank Mr. Xu for gracing us with this meal? I have to show my sincerity!"
As Xiaohua spoke, she poured herself another glass of baijiu.
"Here, Secretary Yin, this toast is for you. Whether you drink it or not is up to you, but I'll drink it first as a sign of respect."
After Xiaohua finished speaking, she downed another two ounces of baijiu (Chinese liquor), which made both Ms. He Yu and Ms. Yin Lu start to feel stomach pain.
The two glasses of baijiu were Xiaohua's token of sincerity. As for whether Xu Xiangqian would accept her sincerity, that was his business, and she couldn't control it.
Even if a deal falls through, can't we still be friends? Leave room for maneuver now so we can meet again in the future.
After finishing her drink, Xiaohua sat down next to Yinlu and took Yinlu's hand.
"Secretary Yin, your skin is so good. What skincare products do you usually use? Could you recommend some? I'd like to buy some and try them out. Look at my rough skin, I don't even look like a woman anymore."
Xiao Hua's overly familiar manner made Yin Lu feel somewhat uncomfortable. She glanced at Xu Xiangqian beside her and saw that Xu Xiangqian had no expression.
He then picked up where Xiaohua left off: "I use a skincare product imported from France. If you like it, Mr. Ye, I'll send you a set later."
"Oh, you're giving it to me? Thank you so much! I'll accept it without hesitation. I'm not one to stand on ceremony; I'll accept anything that's kind to me without hesitation."
Yin Lu also smiled and said, "I like President Ye's generous and straightforward personality. I'm sure it will be very pleasant to work with someone as straightforward as President Ye. He won't fuss over so many details or haggle over petty gains."
He Yu quickly picked up where Yin Lu left off: "Secretary Yin, you're absolutely right. Our CEO Ye is a generous and magnanimous person. Working with her is simply fantastic. If Hongsen Manufacturing is willing to invest in our Dream East this time..."
