Chapter 217 Shark Tesco's Cocktail Party
With that said, Qian Muchue could understand a little. Real estate had developed rapidly in recent years. The land in Jijiatun must have been good, but it was later forced to be sold. Seeing the Gong family profit, it was inevitable that they would be jealous.
In the original time and space, Qian Muchue had seen the news that after the original owner sold the house, the value of the house increased a lot. The original owner regretted it and did not want to sell it, and then the buyer and seller went to court.
"It seems that I still have to meet the president of this Shark Tesco." Qian Muchue finished the last sip of milk in the cup, took the invitation letter from Gong Chen's hand and said.
Qian Muchue had always believed that the previous product price controversy was a matter of industry competition, but now that the personal grudges between the Ji and Gong families had emerged, things had become a bit complicated. She needed to meet Ji Yao, to know both herself and the enemy, so as to win every battle. It seemed that the other party might have sent her this invitation with this intention.
"Your husband can go with you." Seeing Qian Muchue looking like she was going to fight on the battlefield, Gong Chen joked with a smile.
"No need. This isn't a fight between kids that requires parents to step in." Qian Muchue refused without even thinking. She was going to scout the enemy, so why would she bring her family with her?
"Well, if you can't beat him, you can come to me." Gong Chen was amused by Qian Muchue's metaphor and said seriously.
Upon hearing this, Qian Muchue gave Gong Chen a look, meaning, is she that weak?
On the day of the Shark Tesco thank-you cocktail party, Qian Muchue wore an Oriental Verve dress, which was more of a strong woman style. Today she attended the cocktail party as the president of Chuxin Technology, so of course she couldn't lose in momentum.
When Qian Muchue arrived, there were already many people at the scene, including many brands that had previously cooperated with Chuxin Technology. Although they had never met Qian Muchue, Qian Muchue was well-known and few people did not recognize her.
Regardless of whether it was based on Chuxin Technology or Gong Chen behind her, many people at the scene were happy to come forward and chat with Qian Muchue.
I have to say that Qian Muchue is now envied by many people. She is beautiful, has a powerful husband's family, has both a son and a daughter, and her career is also good. She is definitely a winner in life.
In addition to the brands, several celebrity artists also took the initiative to greet Qian Muchue, mostly because of the New Rui Entertainment and Gong Chen's Qichen Film and Television behind her, especially Qichen Film and Television, which is famous for its abundant resources and large-scale productions. Normally, you can't get along with the boss of Qichen Film and Television. Today, you finally meet the boss's wife, so you have to step forward and leave a good impression.
Seeing Qian Muchue being complimented by everyone, Qiao Yan, who was not far away, straightened her hair. She was invited by Shark Tesco to attend this thank-you reception as a cooperating artist. As a female artist who debuted for only more than two years, the fact that she could cooperate with Shark Tesco was attributed to the financial backers behind her.
Seeing Qian Muchue on this occasion was something Qiao Yan had not expected. Although both of them were artists, Qian Muchue happened to be pregnant and had given birth when Qiao Yan became famous. Qian Muchue rarely appeared in public, and the two had never met. Qiao Yan learned about Qian Muchue's situation from the screen or entertainment news.
Unlike Zhao Wan, Qian Muchue left Qiao Yan with the impression that she was not someone to be trifled with. At the same time, Qian Muchue also taught Qiao Yan some things, which allowed her to quickly earn her first pot of gold and become what she is today.
"Teacher Qian, long time no see." Qiao Yan lifted her skirt and walked up to Qian Muxue and greeted her with a smile.
Qian Muchue looked at Qiao Yan in front of her, stunned for a few seconds before she matched the woman in front of her with Qiao Fei in the original owner's memory. After not seeing her for many years, Qian Muchue almost forgot about Qiao Yan. The last time she saw news about Qiao Yan was probably the news about Qiao Yan and Zhao Wan last year. At that time, Qian Muchue just smiled and passed it off.
"I haven't seen you for many years, Teacher Qian. Seeing you today, I wanted to come forward and say hello to you and thank you for taking care of me before. I wonder if I have disturbed you?" Seeing that Qian Muchue did not respond, Qiao Yan hurriedly said.
Now, she might still be able to put on airs in front of Zhao Wan, but she is definitely not good enough in front of Qian Muchue. Even if Qiao Yan becomes more arrogant, she cannot be unaware of this.
Therefore, when Qiao Yan spoke to Qian Muchue, her attitude was very humble, just like when she was Qian Muchue's assistant. Although she was fired by Qian Muchue at the beginning, Qiao Yan believed that she did not have any major grudges with Qian Muchue, and all the conflicts were because of Zhao Wan.
In addition, she did not actually cause any harm to Qian Muchue. Later, when it came to Wen Jia's contract termination, although she took the money, she also contributed. Now that Wen Jia is an artist under Qian Muchue's company, she can be considered to have helped a little.
Moreover, it is now well known that she and Zhao Wan have a very bad relationship and are like water and fire. Theoretically, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is also one of the reasons why Qiao Yan dared to get close to Qian Muchue.
Even though Qiao Yan didn't like Qian Muchue from the bottom of her heart, the gap between her and Qian Muchue was too big, so she couldn't compare with her like she did with Zhao Wan.
However, the resources in Qian Muchue's hands are what Qiao Yan yearns for. For the sake of profit, Qiao Yan can be humble in front of people she hates.
Although Qiao Yan has financial support behind her, she still understands the principle of not putting all eggs in one basket. Therefore, if there is any good opportunity, Qiao Yan will try her best to fight for it and not narrow her own path.
"Ms. Qiao, I don't deserve your thanks." Qian Muchue said distantly. Qiao Yan's face had changed, but as soon as she spoke, it was known that she hadn't changed inside.
Qian Muchue does not reject ambitious people, but when a person abandons his moral bottom line in order to satisfy his ambition, this is something Qian Muchue cannot accept. Qiao Yan in front of her is such a person.
She could see that Qiao Yan wanted to please her. From the perspective of making money, people like Qiao Yan, who are ambitious and resourceful, can bring benefits to their partners, but Qian Muchue is not a businessman without bottom line, so she cannot cooperate with people like Qiao Yan.
"Xiao Fei, why are you hiding here? Is this beautiful lady your friend?" A pot-bellied man in his fifties or sixties walked over and said to Qiao Yan.
The other person came up and put his arms around Qiao Yan's exposed shoulders. This casual and natural action showed that the relationship between the two was not simple. When the old man saw Qian Muchue in front of Qiao Yan, he could not hide the surprise in his eyes. He just thought she was a star and asked Qiao Yan who Qian Muchue was with a smile.
Of course, Qiao Yan knew the character of the men around her. They couldn't walk when they saw beautiful women, but Qian Muchue in front of her was not someone he could dream of.
"Mr. Wu, Teacher Qian is the wife of the president of Gong Group. I started working under Teacher Qian when I just graduated. It's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect to meet Teacher Qian here. I came over to say hello. I wasn't hiding on purpose." Qiao Yan said with a giggle, her tone completely different from when she spoke to Qian Muchue.
Hearing Qiao Yan's words, Qian Muchue raised her brows slightly. She had many identities, but the other party introduced her as Mrs. Gong Chen. Of course, at the moment, the wife of the president of Gong Group is the most impressive.
As soon as Qiao Yan said this, it was clear that what she valued most was Qian Muchue's role as the wife of the president of Gong Group.
The old man called Mr. Wu immediately changed his attitude when he heard that Qian Muchue was the wife of the president of Gong Group. He took his hand off Qiao Yan's shoulder and changed his expression.
"Hello, Madam Gong. I'm Wu Qiangzhong, the owner of Meidong Foods. Nice to meet you." Wu Qiangzhong introduced himself with a smile and extended his right hand.
It was also because Wu Qiangzhong was obsessed with sex, otherwise, with Qian Muchue's fame, he would have been able to recognize her.
"Mr. Wu, you're too polite." Qian Muchue said indifferently without extending her hand to shake hands in return.
To be honest, she was shocked by Wu Qiangzhong's disgusting appearance. Qian Muchue admired Qiao Yan a little. Wu Qiangzhong was not even as tall as Qiao Yan, and his weight was much higher than his height. He was fat and had big ears, but Qiao Yan could really handle him.
Qian Muchue did not give Wu Qiangzhong face. On the one hand, she was really disgusted by him. On the other hand, she knew this person. In the original owner's memory, Wu Qiangzhong appeared quite frequently in the Zhu Yang group's bureau, and the scenes in her memory were even more unbearable.
Meidong Food ranks among the top three in the domestic snack industry. In the original owner's memory, Wu Qiangzhong had a wife of similar age named Wu Meixia. Meidong Food was built up bit by bit by Wu Meixia and her husband.
The original owner had never seen the woman named Wu Meixia. The reason she knew her name was because of a divorce that happened a few years later. This woman could not stand the repeated provocations from her husband's mistress outside, and single-handedly destroyed the East American Foods that she had worked hard to build for decades. This incident was on the hot search list for many days.
Seeing that Qian Muchue didn't give him face, Wu Qiangzhong didn't look embarrassed. He withdrew his hand and continued talking to himself.
"It's such a coincidence today. I told you before that our East American Foods company wants to cooperate with Chuxin Technology. Now I met Mrs. Gong. Mrs. Gong, let's find a place to sit down and talk." Wu Qiangzhong said with a smile.
Discussing cooperation is not the main purpose. Wu Qiangzhong mainly wants to get to know Qian Muchue and Gong Chen behind her. He is no longer satisfied with working in the food industry. The reason why Wu Qiangzhong can get together with Qiao Yan is because he has stepped into the film and television industry and invested in many film and television dramas.
Qiao Yan has a lot of resources, all provided by Wu Qiangzhong. The drama she and Zhao Wan filmed was also invested by Wu Qiangzhong.
"If Mr. Wu wants to cooperate with Chuxin Technology, he can contact our colleagues in the product selection department. There are dedicated people responsible for this area. Today is Shark Tesco's cocktail party, so let's not talk about work." Qian Muchue did not accept the challenge and declined.
Qian Muchue refused to give him face again and again, and no matter how thick-skinned Wu Qiangzhong was, he couldn't say anything.
"Mr. Wu, you are really something. You always think about work wherever you go. Teacher Qian is here to attend the cocktail party today. Find a good time next time and talk to Teacher Qian about cooperation." Qiao Yan said with a smile, giving Wu Qiangzhong a way out.
"Yes, yes, Xiaofei is right. Next time I have the chance, I will treat Mrs. Gong to a simple meal." Wu Qiangzhong said with a smile.
Looking at Qiao Yan and Wu Qiangzhong talking to themselves, Qian Muchue pretended not to hear.
At this time, a man in his thirties walked over. He was not very good-looking, but he had a straight figure. It was obvious that he had high demands on himself and kept exercising for a long time.
"Mr. Wu, I'm sorry, I have something to discuss with Mr. Qian in private. I'm sorry to interrupt your conversation." The middle-aged man said to Wu Qiangzhong with a smile, saying sorry but without any apology on his face.
"Mr. Ji, you're joking. Xiaofei and I won't disturb you two anymore. You guys talk." Wu Qiangzhong said hurriedly. He had to give face to both Qian Muchue and Ji Yao.
The business world doesn't look at age or seniority, but rather ability and background. Even though Wu Qiangzhong is in his fifties or sixties, he still has to be polite to Qian Muchue and Ji Yao, who are not even as old as his son.
This was the first time Qiao Yan saw Ji Yao up close. He was a young talent, a rare talent, the perfect partner in many women's hearts. Especially when standing next to Wu Qiangzhong, Ji Yao's not-so-remarkable face also looked very handsome.
Qiao Yan didn't say anything and followed Wu Qiangzhong away silently. If she had Qian Muchue's face, she might have been able to make her presence felt in front of Ji Yao, but unfortunately, she didn't. Qiao Yan had a clear self-awareness and knew her strengths and weaknesses, and what kind of man she could win over.
"Xiao Fei, you have an old acquaintance with that Madam Gong. You can keep in touch with her more often. If you can ask her to introduce me to Mr. Gong, I will give you a lot of benefits." Wu Qiangzhong said to Qiao Yan while being a little distance away from Qian Muchue and the others.
"Mr. Wu, I would do this even if you didn't tell me." Qiao Yan replied with a smile.
"I like smart people like you. If you like any bag, tell me and I will buy it for you." Wu Qiangzhong said with satisfaction, putting one hand on Qiao Yan's waist.
Qiao Yan responded with a smile and looked back at Qian Muchue and Ji Yao who were not far away. Thinking of how Wu Qiangzhong acted like a coward in front of them, Qiao Yan wanted to have a good relationship with Qian Muchue even more.
As for agreeing to Wu Qiangzhong, Qiao Yan was not a fool. She was lucky enough to get Qian Muchue to introduce Gong Chen to Wu Qiangzhong. Even when she was Qian Muchue's assistant, Qian Muchue did not let her come into contact with Gong Chen.
"Captain Qian, hearing about you is worse than meeting you in person. I am Ji Yao. It is an honor for you to come to our Shark Tesco cocktail party." Ji Yao introduced himself with a smile, then extended his right hand.
"Mr. Ji, I've long heard of your name." Qian Muchue responded with a smile and extended her hand to shake his.
Ji Yao looked at Qian Muchue's hand without changing his expression. He had just seen what happened between her and Wu Qiangzhong from afar. It seemed that this General Qian was not averse to shaking hands with others, but simply did not give Wu Qiangzhong face.
Through this detail, Ji Yao labeled Qian Muchue, this girl in her twenties, whose temper was not as good as she seemed.
When Ji Yao labeled Qian Muchue, Qian Muchue also got to know Ji Yao a little bit. The other party called her President Qian, not Miss Qian or Madam Gong, which showed that the other party valued her identity as the president of Chuxin Technology.
It seems that the next conversation will also revolve around Chuxin Technology and Qugou Technology.
