Chapter 3 Returning the Property to Its Original Owner
Qu Xiaoxiao did a beautiful drift and accurately squeezed her yellow "little nanny car" into the parking space.
She jumped out of the car and walked in swaying her Fendi little fur ball pendant.
“Sister Fan——!”
She dragged out her voice and flew towards Fan Shengmei like a butterfly.
"Oh my, such a radiant face, such a cheerful face, such bright eyes, and skin so tender you could squeeze water out of it... Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, our President Meng has really made an indelible contribution!"
She moved closer to Fan Shengmei, blinked, and lowered her voice.
"Last night, the group message was halfway through and then stopped responding... Did our CEO Meng grab it and "feed" it again?"
Fan Shengmei's face flushed and she immediately reached out to cover her mouth.
"Qu Xiaoxiao!"
Even with her mouth covered, Qu Xiaoxiao still kept whining and her eyes were rolling around.
"Oh, what's there to be shy about? How is our President Meng? Does he have—"
Just then, a deliberately heavy and awkward cough came from behind.
“Cough, cough——”
Qu Xiaoxiao's body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head——
Meng Yanchen was sitting upright on the sofa, holding a document in his hand. He sat upright, still looking dignified, cold and gentlemanly.
Qu Xiaoxiao's eyes instantly widened, and the expression on her face instantly switched from gossip fanaticism to a socially dead state of "I want to disappear right here on the spot".
Meng Yanchen stood up calmly, nodded slightly, and there was no emotion in his voice.
"You guys chat, I'm going to go out and make a phone call."
After saying that, he stood up, walked out calmly, and considerately closed the door.
Qu Xiaoxiao, "......"
She slowly turned her head, stuck out her tongue at Fan Shengmei, and then clinging to Fan Shengmei's arm, and started to act like a spoiled brat.
"Fan Fan~ I don't know, you won't be angry, right?"
Fan Shengmei looked at her mischievous appearance, smiled helplessly, and poked her forehead.
"You! When will you be able to control your mouth?"
She walked to the desk, took out a document from the drawer, and handed it to Qu Xiaoxiao.
"Here, this is for you."
"What is this?"
Qu Xiaoxiao casually flipped it open, and her nonchalant expression froze instantly after she saw the contents clearly.
Her pupils suddenly contracted and her fingers trembled slightly.
"It was you who bought my company?!"
Fan Shengmei looked at her. "It's not just me, Andy too. At that time, I needed money everywhere in my career. How could I come up with so much liquid funds at once?"
She paused, "Xiao Qu, I know that on the surface you appear to be carefree and don't care about anything, and you're more open-minded than I am, but in fact, you care about your parents and your family more than anyone else."
She took Qu Xiaoxiao's hand and asked her to sit down. "To some extent, we both grew up in families that favored boys over girls. Although you have a good material background and seem free and easy, I know that because of this, you crave your parents' love and attention even more. You hope for a harmonious family and hope that your parents will love you more. So, when your family makes a request to you, it's hard for you to really refuse."
"Qu Lianjie loves gambling just like my brother does, and he's not as good at business as you are. He's just a bottomless pit."
Fan Shengmei spoke calmly, "Xiao Qu, it was you, everyone on the 22nd floor, who helped me escape from that bottomless pit. I've been there, so I understand. When people are in that situation, no one can listen to any truths others say."
"It's not right for us to interfere in your family's affairs. But this company is your hard work, so Andy and I discussed it and decided to take it over for you first. We can't just watch it get dragged down."
She handed the pen to Qu Xiaoxiao and said, "Now, it's returned to its original owner."
Qu Xiaoxiao looked at her and tears started to flow.
She hugged Fan Shengmei and cried loudly.
"It's over, it's over, Sister Fan, I'm going to fall in love with someone else! I've fallen in love with you! Will President Meng send someone to beat me up?"
Fan Shengmei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and patted her back gently.
"Alright, alright, sign it now."
After Qu Xiaoxiao signed, Fan Shengmei added,
“Andy is more thoughtful.”
She turned to the last page of the document and pointed to the clauses and explained,
"This is a restricted equity agreement. It cannot be transferred within three years, and major decisions require joint signatures. Do you have any objections to this?"
Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head with tears and snot.
"You're my sisters! What can I say? I just love you guys so much!"
Fan Shengmei pulled a tissue for her. "You're just a sharp talker, always right and unyielding, but you're actually soft-hearted. I really don't want you to follow my path, being held hostage by so-called 'family affection' and sucked dry."
Qu Xiaoxiao wiped her tears and returned to her carefree self. "Old Qu loves his son, so let him. He's actually not bad to me. I'll just be the eldest daughter of the Qu family, being filial and spoiled as I should be. But I won't get involved in the messy affairs of the Qu family company. I earn my own money!"
As she spoke, her voice dropped a few notches. "I just feel sorry for my mom. She's worked hard with him all her life, and in the end, she has to give away half of the family fortune... But forget it, it's your own life, and you choose your own husband. She'll have me in the future, so I'll just take what's rightfully mine. Anyway, that loser Qu Lianjie wouldn't be able to keep a mountain of gold!"
She rolled her eyes and regained her stubbornness.
"But if Old Qu makes excessive demands again, I, Qu Xiaoxiao, will not be easily provoked!"
Fan Shengmei smiled and nodded, "Take your time, it's not the end yet. Fight for as much as you can for yourself."
—
Qu Xiaoxiao walked out of the building holding the documents and humming a little tune.
As soon as she walked out of the building, her eyes suddenly widened——
“My car!”
The left headlight of her little Polo was hit and a large dent was made, and the paint was scratched.
"Who did this?! Can they stop the car?"
A young man in a suit and tie came running over in a panic, bowing repeatedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was careless when reversing just now..."
Qu Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and looked up and down at this young man who looked like he had just graduated.
"Did you buy your driver's license? You can't see such a big car?"
The young man blushed and became even more bewildered, but he remained sincere.
"Sister, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't see it. Here's my contact information. Can you add me and I'll cover all the expenses?"
Although Qu Xiaoxiao has a sharp tongue, she is not the kind of person who will not give in even if she is right. Since the other party has admitted his mistake, there is no reason for her to be unreasonable.
She raised her chin at the other person and said, "Take out your phone, I'll scan you."
The other party was obviously stunned, then took out his mobile phone and handed over the QR code.
“Beep—”
Before she could pass the verification, Qu Xiaoxiao caught a glimpse of Zhao Ziqian walking out of the Star Road.
As soon as the young man saw Zhao Ziqian, he immediately lowered his head almost to his chest like a mouse seeing a cat.
Zhao Ziqian glanced at the scene and his eyes fell on the young man.
"You bumped into him?"
The young man's voice was trembling, "Zhao, Mr. Zhao..."
"Why you again?"
Qu Xiaoxiao was already furious, and then she met a man named Zhao.
She raised her head and glared at Zhao Ziqian.
"I was wondering why nothing good ever happened to me every time I saw you! Is it because you have a bad luck aura that affects everyone within a hundred miles? You're specifically designed to jinx me, right?"
Only then did Zhao Ziqian slowly shift his gaze to her, lowering his eyes to look at Qu Xiaoxiao, who was only at the height of his chest.
Qu Xiaoxiao hated herself for not wearing high heels today.
Zhao Ziqian didn't respond to her. Instead, he turned his head slightly and glanced at the brightly lit hall in Xingtu, where their company's booth was being set up.
“Our company’s booth.”
Qu Xiaoxiao's expression froze, and she raised her eyebrows.
[It's Party A's father, hold it in! 】
Then, with a very professional fake smile,
"Ahem, Mr. Zhao. Um... you guys worked hard setting up the exhibition. As for this matter... hehe, forget it, I can handle it myself."
Zhao Ziqian looked at the direction where the bright yellow light disappeared, with no expression on his face.
The young assistant who was panicking just now has now regained his calm and capable appearance. He stepped forward and whispered,
"Mr. Zhao, I have done as you instructed."
