county seat.
Second Alley of Beifeng Street.
Niangui Roasted Green Pepper Sauce Specialty Store.
"Qingqing, what brings you here?"
Just as Zhou Yuanyuan was about to leave work, she saw an acquaintance at the store entrance.
She was tall and slender with fair skin, her hair tied in a ponytail, and wearing a dress, looking full of vitality.
"Didn't I just tell you I would come looking for you?"
Xu Qingqing flashed a bright smile. "What? You're not welcoming me?"
"Huh? No, of course not!"
Zhou Yuanyuan seemed a little flustered. She glanced back at Wang Qian and the others in the store and tentatively asked, "What do you need me for?"
"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"
Xu Qingqing smiled and walked into the store. "Is this where you work?"
"Yes!"
Zhou Yuanyuan followed her in and said awkwardly, "How about we go somewhere else to talk? I'm off work now."
"Alright!"
Xu Qingqing nodded, then looked at Wang Qian and the others who were also in the store, "Are they your colleagues?"
Zhou Yuanyuan thought for a moment, then said vaguely, "Pretty much...that's all!"
"Since you're my colleague, why don't we come together? It'll be more fun with more people. It'll be so boring if it's just the two of us girls!"
After a pause, Xu Qingqing waved her slender hand and said with a smile, "It's my treat!"
"But……"
Zhou Yuanyuan was about to say something when Xu Qingqing interrupted her, "Don't refuse, or I'll get angry!"
Zhou Yuanyuan looked troubled.
It's not that I don't want to agree, but after such an embarrassing mix-up today, neither Lin Chao nor Wang Qian should have a good impression of Xu Qingqing.
Even if Xu Qingqing were willing to treat him, Wang Qian would probably disdain to accept the invitation.
I remember you!
Just as she was caught in a dilemma, Xu Qingqing looked at Wang Qian again and asked, "Aren't you the handsome guy who was with Yuanyuan during the day?"
Wang Qian raised an eyebrow. "You actually remember me?"
"Of course I remember!"
Xu Qingqing smiled charmingly and said, "A handsome guy like you would be hard for any girl to forget!"
Wang Qian was speechless.
Lin Chao, Yang Shenglong, and Zhou Yuanyuan, who were standing next to him, all looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qingqing noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off. She glanced at everyone and asked, "Isn't he handsome? Or am I seeing things wrong?"
"Uh... he's my boss!"
Zhou Yuanyuan quickly stepped forward to explain, "His name is Wang Qian, and he's the owner of this shop!"
"Is he your boss?"
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but glance at Wang Qian a few more times. "Not bad, so young and already a boss."
"You're not bad either. A woman, only in her twenties, and you've already started a big company on your own!" Wang Qian said with equal admiration.
How did you know?
Xu Qingqing couldn't help but be a little surprised.
But after glancing at Zhou Yuanyuan, she seemed to understand and quickly changed the subject, "Then, Mr. Wang, would you do me the honor of having a meal together?"
Wang Qian hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I'd better obey!"
Zhou Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
She hadn't dared to agree earlier because she was afraid of upsetting Wang Qian.
Since Wang Qian agreed, it proves that he didn't take the earlier rejection to heart.
"And you too!"
Xu Qingqing then looked at Yang Shenglong and Lin Chao, "Since you're all Yuanyuan's colleagues, come along too. I'd like to get to know you as well."
"this……"
Yang Shenglong was unsure whether to agree or not, so he could only cast a questioning glance at Wang Qian.
"Since Chairman Xu is treating, why not take advantage of it?" Wang Qian said with a smile.
"Then thank you in advance, Chairman Xu!" Yang Shenglong smiled憨厚ly.
Lin Chao naturally wouldn't hold back either.
During this time, he had been running the shop and had met countless people. His former inferiority and timidity gradually faded away.
He absolutely has to be wherever Zhou Yuanyuan is.
"Brother-in-law, you actually agreed to come?"
On the way, when Lin Chao noticed that Xu Qingqing and Zhou Yuanyuan were a bit far apart, he leaned over to Wang Qian and asked, "Didn't you give up on this company during the day?"
"Xu Qingqing came in person, which proves she's sincere enough. Giving her a chance won't hurt!"
Wang Qian lowered his voice and said, "Besides, we can't find a suitable team right now, so talking to her wouldn't be a bad idea."
"Oh, I thought you agreed because she complimented you on being handsome," Lin Chao said sullenly.
Wang Qian instantly gave him a sharp rap on the head, "What are you saying? I won't have any thoughts about any woman other than your sister!"
"If my sister heard this, she would be so happy!"
Lin Chao didn't mind Wang Qian's rude behavior; instead, he showed a relieved smile.
Wang Qian is not only talented, but also so handsome; many women would definitely be attracted to him.
Back when her sister Lin Xiaoyu married Wang Qian, he was the most opposed person in the family, and that was because of this.
He was afraid that after Lin Xiaoyu married Wang Qian, Wang Qian would have affairs outside, or that he would abandon her after achieving something.
However, it now seems that his worries were somewhat unnecessary.
Wang Qian is extremely loyal to his sister Lin Xiaoyu!
...
Not long after.
Inside a fairly spacious private room in a restaurant.
"Chairman Xu, I heard that your company does infrastructure projects, is that right?"
Sitting down around the table, Wang Qian began to tentatively ask questions.
"yes!"
Xu Qingqing nodded, then said self-deprecatingly, "But the pressure to survive is immense, the company's business is struggling, and I don't know how much longer we can hold on."
