“This place will definitely become more prosperous than the department store area once it develops.” Jiang Qiaoqiao sat by the window in the Western restaurant and counted the newly opened shops on the street.
Huo Beixiao thoughtfully pushed the cut steak in front of her and nodded, saying, "Yes, Qiaoqiao, your analysis last time was very correct. The area around the department store is full of crowded residential houses. Although it looks like there is a lot of foot traffic now, there is actually no room for development."
Although this area is near the suburbs and looks a bit deserted, once the new housing developments are completed, young people, who are the main consumers, will flock here.
Jiang Qiaoqiao gave Huo Beixiao a thumbs up, "You're so smart, you understand immediately. That's exactly the point."
Huo Beixiao: ...
He felt like his wife was treating him like a child.
But for some reason, he felt particularly pleased.
Even the roots of her ears turned red without her noticing.
My wife has such a sweet way of praising people!
Jiang Qiaoqiao was completely unaware of the man's strange behavior. She was eating her steak while looking at the hot pot restaurant diagonally across from her.
In the short time they sat down, eight tables of customers had already entered the hot pot restaurant, which meant the business was booming.
She was thinking that she would try the food tonight and bring her parents and older brother to eat with her next time, since her mother and older brother were both very talented in cooking.
The hot pot industry is another blue ocean market for the future.
If Mom and my older brother can figure out a delicious hot pot broth recipe, they could earn just as much money as if they were developing a chain of duck product stores.

After lunch.
Huo Beixiao received a call from Tong Xuejiao.
When Tong Xuejiao arrived, Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao had just finished their meal and were coming out of the Western restaurant.
The moment Tong Xuejiao and Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes met, she subconsciously raised her chin and tossed her long, wavy hair.
The next moment, a mature and charming smile appeared on her lips, and she swayed gracefully toward Huo Beixiao.
"Bei Xiao..."
Just as she reached Huo Beixiao, her high-heeled foot suddenly twisted, causing her to lose her balance and fall uncontrollably towards him.
"Bei Xiao, save me."
Huo Beixiao frowned slightly, but still reached out and supported her arm.
However, the moment he helped her steady herself, Huo Beixiao immediately let go, saying, "Miss Tong, be careful."
Although Huo Beixiao had kept his distance from her except for his hand, the contact between their hands was only brief.
But Tong Xuejiao still raised an eyebrow at Jiang Qiaoqiao with a smug look.
Huo Beixiao's reluctance to let her fall shows that he still has some feelings for her. As long as these feelings remain, she will be able to win Huo Beixiao back sooner or later.
Jiang Qiaoqiao didn't care about her provocation at all.
She learned a lesson in her past life: a man who can be stolen away is better off without.
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Tong Xuejiao felt as if she had punched a cotton ball. Instead of feeling any satisfaction, she felt rather stifled.
Jiang Qiaoqiao walked to Huo Beixiao's side and said, "Beixiao, you and Miss Tong go and talk things over first. I'll wander around the provincial capital by myself."
She planned to take this opportunity to visit the wholesale market.
"Okay, let Guo Tao go with you. I'll come find you after I'm done talking," Huo Beixiao said gently, looking at her.
When Tong Xuejiao saw Huo Beixiao's tender, almost melting gaze, she felt a surge of anger welling up inside her.
What's so great about Jiang Qiaoqiao that she can make Huo Beixiao so infatuated?
But since they are now a legally married couple, she couldn't very well question Huo Beixiao about it, so she could only grit her teeth in resentment.
"ah--"
Jiang Qiaoqiao took a few steps and didn't notice a small step under her feet. She missed a step and instantly lost her balance.
As she fell, she instinctively cried out in surprise.
The moment she exclaimed in surprise, Huo Beixiao's expression changed instantly.
The next instant, Tong Xuejiao saw Huo Beixiao's figure disappear from her sight.
"Qiaoqiao, are you alright?"
When she saw Huo Beixiao clearly again, he was already holding Jiang Qiaoqiao tightly in his arms, asking with a worried expression.
Jiang Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Just a moment ago, she thought she was definitely going to have a close encounter with the earth today.
"It's alright." She breathed a long sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Thank goodness you were here."
Otherwise, her trip and fall would have ruined her plans to go to the wholesale market.
Tong Xuejiao had just been feeling smug because Huo Beixiao had caught her.
But the way Huo Beixiao helped her up just now was quite different from how he was holding Jiang Qiaoqiao firmly in his arms now.
Huo Beixiao acted as if he was afraid she might carry some kind of virus, as if he was afraid of infecting her even a little bit.
But now, it seems like they are protecting some priceless treasure when it comes to Jiang Qiaoqiao.
She was so angry she was about to jump up and down. She was certain that Jiang Qiaoqiao had deliberately fallen just now; what a scheming bitch.
She walked over and said disdainfully, "She can't even walk steadily, I don't know what she can do. No wonder she's just a parasitic vine that knows how to use tricks to seduce men."
Jiang Qiaoqiao smiled at Tong Xuejiao, not backing down at all, "At least I fell because there was a step here. If I remember correctly, Miss Tong fell on flat ground just now. I wonder if Miss Tong is also a parasitic vine?"
Tong Xuejiao's pretty face immediately filled with anger. "I started from scratch and worked my way up to a millionaire. What do you have to compare with me?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "Yes, I admire Miss Tong's abilities. If Miss Tong can learn to respect others and not make wild guesses based on her own experience, I will admire her even more."
