After the contract was signed, Yu Qian shook hands with Jiang Qiaoqiao and said, "Qiaoqiao, come on, tonight I'll treat you to Peking duck and hot pot from Beicheng."
"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."
Once a deal is finalized, having a meal together is a perfectly normal procedure, and Yang Qiaoqiao naturally wouldn't refuse.
She never expected that she would run into Jiang Yiran and He Nian again at a hot pot restaurant.
This time, Jiang Yiran and Qin Haiyang, along with Jiang Yongxian and He Nian, came together, and Peng Cuiying was also with them.
This incredibly harmonious scene surprised Yang Qiaoqiao.
Jiang Yiran saw Yang Qiaoqiao first.
She exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, isn't that my sister? And the woman with her is the owner of Qianqian Clothing Store, right? I've bought clothes from her store several times with my mom before! Why is she here with my sister for hot pot?"
When He Nian saw Yang Qiaoqiao, she thought of their first meeting that afternoon. Not only did she not flatter her, but she also directly slapped her in the face, saying that she had no relation to Jiang Yongxian even after Yang Qiaoqiao admitted that she was Jiang Yongxian's younger sister.
Her face immediately darkened. "Could Yu Qian be so tactless as to want to cooperate with her?"
"Honey, go and call Yu Qian over. I want to ask her something."
A hint of dissatisfaction flashed in Jiang Yongxian's eyes. He was a grown man, and it was one thing for He Nian to treat him like a servant at home, but He Nian also treated him with no respect in public.
It would be a lie to say he had no resentment.
But no matter how many complaints they had, they had to swallow them down.
He wanted to develop his career in Beicheng, but even before the Jiang family's misfortune, they couldn't help him. Now, with those two idiots, Jiang Jiahua and Jiang Yong'an, doing such stupid things, it will become the biggest stain on his life.
Now he can only cling tightly to He Nian, this ugly woman, so that she will pester her father, He Songhua, to willingly pave the way for him and become his stepping stone.
Jiang Yongxian walked over to the table where Yang Qiaoqiao was, and greeted Yang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao with a fake smile, "What a coincidence, Qiaoqiao, brother-in-law, when did you come to Beicheng? Why didn't you say you wanted to come over for a visit?"
Yu Qian, standing to the side, asked in surprise, "Comrade Jiang and Qiao Qiao, you know each other?"
"I don't know him," Yang Qiaoqiao said directly.
She didn't want to get involved with the Jiang family, and she didn't want to explain her messy relationship with them to anyone anymore.
Jiang Yongxian showed no emotion whatsoever towards her indifference.
It seems that Jiang Yongxian in Beicheng is much more emotionally stable than Jiang Yongxian in Yunxian.
"Comrade Yu, my wife would like to have a chat with you. Is this a convenient time for you?" Jiang Yongxian turned to Yu Qian and said.
"Sister Nian is here too?" Yu Qian said with a look of surprise. "Qiao Qiao, you guys eat first, I'll go say hello to Sister Nian and come right back."
Yang Qiaoqiao nodded.
Watching Yu Qian walk towards He Nian.
Her eyes darkened slightly.
Huo Beixiao noticed her slight change in mood, covered her hand with his large hand, and gently squeezed it. "Honey, don't worry. Even if she doesn't cooperate, we can find other businesses to cooperate with. If all else fails, we can look around Beicheng these next few days to see if there are any suitable shops. If we find any, we'll buy them and open our own shop."
Yang Qiaoqiao wasn't worried much to begin with.
Because she understood the strength of the He family, although He Songhua had some power at this time, he was far from being able to control everything.
Moreover, the country's overall politics are still relatively clean and honest, so even if He Songhua really had that power, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
Hearing Huo Beixiao's words, she unconsciously raised the corners of her lips and looked at the man, "Yes, with my husband's financial power, I have nothing to worry about."
"Superpower?" Huo Beixiao asked, puzzled. "What kind of superpower is my wife talking about?"
Yang Qiaoqiao was about to explain to him that it was the character for "banknote".
Huo Beixiao suddenly lowered his voice as if he had just realized something, "My wife means that I am very good in that area, right?"
"To live up to my wife's praise, I'll eat more mutton and give her a good performance tonight."
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She gave the man a reproachful glare.
Ever since I introduced this man to the world of sex, he's become increasingly indecent, driving onto the highway without warning.
She explained in an annoyed tone, "The 'money power' I'm talking about is the 'money' in 'money money.' With money, you can make the devil turn the millstone. I have a husband like you who can make money, what am I afraid of?"
Huo Beixiao's sharp, deep eyes instantly filled with a hint of grievance. "Am I only good at making money, and not good at anything else?"
Yang Qiaoqiao: ...
She felt like this jerk was setting a trap for her again.
If she dares to deny his abilities in that area, he'll definitely pester her tonight to prove it to her.
But if she doesn't deny it, this man will probably show off his virility even more proudly tonight.
Yang Qiaoqiao glared at the man reproachfully, not wanting to continue the conversation.
Just then, Yu Qian returned.
Yu Qian's expression was clearly not good. It wasn't until she sat down opposite Yang Qiaoqiao that she managed to force a smile. "Qiaoqiao, please eat. Don't be shy."
Yang Qiaoqiao wore a polite and appropriate smile.
Actually, she and Yu Qian get along quite well. If the collaboration goes smoothly, this meal should be a very pleasant one.
But then they ran into those guys from the Jiang family...
She was worried that Yu Qian would be hesitant to speak up because of the contract.
So he took the initiative to speak up: "Qianqian, I do know Jiang Yongxian, and we have quite a history of conflict."
If his spouse called you over just now to tell you not to cooperate with me, then don't be troubled; the contract we signed today can be voided!
Upon hearing this, Yu Qian smiled with relief, and even the last trace of gloom on her face dissipated.
She also said directly, "Qiaoqiao, since you've put it this way, I won't hide it from you. He Nian called me over to tell me not to cooperate with you."
But I refused!
Yu Qian's words surprised Yang Qiaoqiao.
She really hadn't expected Yu Qian to reject He Nian. After all, even if a businessman makes some money, it's not enough in the face of power.
Yu Qian smiled nonchalantly and said, "I know the He family has some power, but I dare to open a shop, and not just anyone can threaten me."
"Qiaoqiao, don't worry. Putting everything else aside, I can still decide who I want to do business with."
Although Yu Qian's words were vague, Yang Qiaoqiao understood them.
Yu Qian's family also has some connections, and they are no less powerful than the He family.
Yang Qiaoqiao reached out and shook hands with Yu Qian again, "I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
Yang Qiaoqiao used to dislike drinking, but during this meal with Yu Qian, they found themselves getting along very well.
Yu Qian wanted to drink, so she drank quite a bit with her.
After the meal, Yang Qiaoqiao offered to take Yu Qian home.
Yu Qian walked to the restaurant entrance and waved to her, "No need, Qiao Qiao, someone is here to pick me up."
