Chapter 348 Huo Xingzhou is jealous again
Qiao Xi smelled the sour smell in the air and asked with a suppressed smile, "Is there?"
What she cared about was not Mr. Zhong, but the face that looked like Ayi.
"have."
Qiao Xi came closer to him and said, "Even the hair smells sour."
"You kept calling that name in your dream last night." Huo Xingzhou's eyebrows were indifferent, and his tone was slightly condemning.
He is very domineering.
She was only allowed to think about him.
The closer he got to her heart, the more he could feel that there was a large area in her heart that belonged to that person. No matter what kind of emotion it was, Huo Xingzhou cared about it.
"sorry."
Qiao Xi put her arms around his muscular waist, stood on tiptoe and covered his thin lips with her red lips.
Her initiative greatly alleviated the resentment in him.
A smile appeared on Huo Xingzhou's jade-colored face, and he lightly touched her red lips with his fingertips: "This is sweet."
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the office door.
Huo Xingzhou frowned, and Qiao Xi broke free from his embrace and said, "I'll go open the door."
When Qiao Xi opened the door, she saw Zhou Yu standing outside with a flattering look on his face.
"Mr. Zhou, please come in."
Zhou Yu walked into the office empty-handed, and didn't look like he was going to discuss business.
Zhou Yu came over to talk about Master Zhong, and did not avoid Qiao Xi.
"Huo Er, I found out that Master Zhong is indeed engaged to Lu Yingxue, and the two families exchanged tokens. But he seems to be having an ambiguous relationship with Xiang Mingzhu, playing both sides of the two sisters, and I can't see what his purpose is."
"But Zhong Yi has a strange personality and doesn't follow the rules. He must have a purpose for staying in Haicheng. Perhaps it's to support Xiang Mingzhu and manipulate the preliminary elections for the needle test conference."
Zhou Yu's face didn't look good.
Qiao Xi's nails dug deep into the palm of her hand.
Huo Xingzhou's expression remained unchanged: "Find someone to keep an eye on him, but don't stare too closely."
"I know. I have a feeling something's not right about that Future City project. We've previously assessed that its commercial value is already low. Could moving the cultural relics underground and protecting them with fiberglass really bring them back to life?"
Huo Xingzhou's voice was low: "There has been a precedent for this, and it's quite feasible."
So Mr. Zhong was not joking.
But Huo Xingzhou felt that his original intention was not the Future City project, but to find a reasonable reason to stay in Haicheng so as not to arouse suspicion.
Don't let him doubt, and don't let the people in the imperial capital doubt.
Zhou Yu obviously understood the meaning of his words and said, "He's really clever! He's quite smart."
"How did he get from being an illegitimate child to where he is today without any brains? The family gala in the imperial capital at the end of the year seems to be announcing his status as the heir." But the other son of the Zhong family is no pushover either.
Qiao Xi listened to their conversation and suddenly asked, "He is an illegitimate child. Didn't he live in the Zhong family before?"
Zhou Yu said casually: "I heard that they were brought back a few years ago, mainly because of the eldest son of the Zhong family..." He smiled a little ambiguously, and Qiao Xi didn't understand what he meant for a moment.
Instead, Huo Xingzhou glanced at him coldly.
Zhou Yu quickly shut up.
Qiao Xi guessed: "Is he not good at that?"
"Yes." Zhou Yu said softly, "They have been married for many years but still can't have children. He is more than ten years older than the illegitimate child, and he already married a wife a long time ago. Later, the Zhong family had no choice but to take the illegitimate child back. Originally, they wanted the illegitimate child to get married quickly and have a child to be adopted by the eldest son, but they didn't expect..."
The illegitimate child who was adopted was very capable and behaved in a noble manner.
He was actually able to replace the eldest brother's position, and he doesn't look like a child who was raised outside since childhood.
Qiao Xi grasped a key point and asked, "When did he return to the Zhong family?"
“It could be four or five years, it could be seven or eight years, we’re not sure.”
The Zhong family will definitely not publicize the fact that they are bringing their illegitimate son home. This Young Master Zhong has only become famous in the last two years, and there must have been fierce family struggles before that.
All his past experiences were erased by the Zhong family, so it is very difficult to find out the detailed information.
Qiao Xi frowned slightly, not even sure of the year.
"Sister-in-law, are you also interested in Master Zhong?"
"I'm just curious, just asking." Qiao Xi explained, "Because he is close to Xiang Mingzhu, I want to be more cautious."
The other party is both an enemy and a friend.
Zhou Yu looked at her and said hesitantly, "There's one more thing. Your sister, Nurse Shu, has been on a blind date recently. Old Jin recommended several young talents to her, and she seems to be very interested in Qin Yuan. Sister-in-law, please remind her that Qin Yuan is interested in her connections with the Tianyuan Group, not her as a person."
Zhou Yu didn't believe that any man would be willing to cheat on him.
He privately checked and found out that Qin Yuan's company had a project collaboration with Tianyuan Group. He wanted to leverage Shu Xue and Qiao Xi's relationship to facilitate this collaboration. If it succeeded, Qin Yuan could get a commission of one million.
You can also be promoted to a senior position!
A big profit!
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou exchanged a glance. A smile hid in her eyes as she said, "Why didn't you tell her yourself? After knowing each other for so long, don't you even have their contact information?"
Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly an idea flashed through his mind: "We have a bad relationship. We almost had a fight last time. I tried to persuade her, but she must have a rebellious mentality."
Qiao Xi nodded, her pretty face full of smiles: "Okay, I will definitely tell her."
She recalled Qin Yuan and found that he was polite and not as profit-seeking as Zhou Yu said.
Maybe Young Master Zhou was just making it up out of jealousy.
She would ask Shu Xue what happened later.
Zhou Yu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her promise.
Shu Xue now trusts no one but Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi looked at his handsome face and brought up the old topic again: "Mr. Zhou, Aunt Qian told me that you don't believe in marriage. Why don't you get married?"
Can't I make concessions for Shu Xue?
Zhou Yu's eyes were evasive, and he whispered, "Everyone has their own choices. Not everyone is suitable for marriage. I can't take the responsibility."
He said that and left.
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou with a smile on her face and said, "I think Young Master Zhou seems a little shaken. He still thought he had kept his affair with Shu Xue a secret."
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his finger and tapped the tip of her nose: "You are so cunning that you only know how to tease others."
"No."
Qiao Xi's tone was a bit coquettish.
…
The other side.
The number of views on the forum within traditional Chinese medicine has skyrocketed by hundreds of thousands, presumably because some outsiders have flocked in through special channels.
The order of the primary draw has been announced, causing a stir.
The list of the last group, the group of death, is shocking.
The strongest opponents were almost all grouped together, making Qiao Xi's chances of qualifying even slimmer. Xiang Mingzhu, Li Songwen, and Han Jia were all formidable opponents.
Many people thought that Qiao Xi was definitely finished this time.
Unless she is a gifted monster.
Imperial capital, Lu family.
Lu Yingxue flipped through the preliminary lottery list, her lips curled up slightly, making her beautiful face look even more picturesque.
She has been immersed in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 20 years. She has a faint medicinal fragrance on her body and a fairy-like aura. People in the imperial capital call her the living female Hua Tuo.
Her assistant whispered, "Miss, why are you laughing?"
Lu Yingxue's tone was tinged with compassion and condescension: "I laugh at people who overestimate their own abilities."
The assistant also laughed: "How can they compare to you? This disciple of the national doctor Cheng Han must be just a name in vain."
A faint glint flashed in Lu Yingxue's eyes. "Then I'm really looking forward to her losing the bet. My father also wants to hear that Cheng's acupuncture is not as good as Lu's Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles."
The assistant said proudly: "Then she is doomed to fail!"
