Chapter 218 Drama Queen Qian Muchue
"To be honest, when I learned that the founder of Chuxin Technology was a young woman in her twenties, I was really surprised. Young people today are really amazing. I thought it would be very interesting to have the opportunity to talk to President Qian."
Ji Yao said with a smile, the compliments coming out of his mouth did not make people feel uncomfortable.
"Mr. Ji, you are flattering me too much. Speaking of Shark Tesco, everyone knows that you are a young and promising person, and Chuxin Technology has just started. I want to learn more from you." Qian Muchue was not embarrassed by Ji Yao's compliment, and responded with a calm smile.
Although she seldom attends social events, they still flatter each other on business matters. The two of them chat and laugh cheerfully. To outsiders, it is completely unimaginable that Ji Yao had just set a trap for Qian Muchue.
"Mr. Qian, I'm telling you the truth. We at Shark Tesco have contacted Mr. Xue from your company before, wanting to cooperate with Chuxin Technology. Mr. Xue refused at that time, and I felt sorry for it for a long time. Today, when I saw Mr. Qian, I wanted to ask, why did you refuse the cooperation with Shark Tesco?" Ji Yao's words seemed to be a casual question, but in fact he wanted to test Qian Muchue's thoughts.
Hearing Ji Yao's words, Qian Muchue complained in her heart, "Brother, you have already tripped me up, and now you have the nerve to ask about cooperation." Although she thought so, Qian Muchue's expression did not change.
"Shark Tesco is a large company. It is our honor that Chuxin is valued by President Ji. However, Chuxin was established not long ago and has its own way to go. We are not considering introducing other capital for the time being. But if it is appropriate, we can talk about cooperation in other areas when the time comes." Qian Muchue said tactfully.
This is also the truth. Once Chuxin Technology introduces other capital, Qian Muchue may not be able to decide the future direction. Investors are more concerned about the rate of return and of course they will do whatever it takes to make money.
However, Qian Muchue does not want Chuxin Technology to become a commercial company that is purely for making money. For example, some of Chuxin’s sectors are not profitable now, but they are doing things that are meaningful to society. Qian Muchue has invested a lot of money in these sectors.
But if other capital came in, Chuxin would not be able to be like it is now. Therefore, even though Qian Muchue knew that by cooperating with Shark Tesco, Chuxin would develop faster and she herself would be able to accumulate wealth quickly, Qian Muchue still gave up.
After hearing Qian Muchue's words, Ji Yao remained silent on the surface, but in his heart he felt that the price had not been negotiated enough.
"I admire Mr. Qian very much and believe in the future of Chuxin Technology. However, there are more and more companies like this now. Although Chuxin Technology is the leader now, without the strong support of a good platform, it is hard to say whether it will be overtaken by others. Mr. Qian should think carefully about the cooperation with Shark Tesco."
What Ji Yao said was not alarmist. Chuxin Technology occupies such a big piece of the pie and does not allow other big players to touch it. Many e-commerce platforms, like Shark Tesco, have their own traffic. Why not support other live streaming companies? At that time, it will be more difficult for Chuxin Technology, which is fighting alone.
"Mr. Ji, I understand what you mean. However, I have always believed that a monopoly is not a good thing. With competition, everyone will make better products and provide better services to our customers." Qian Muchue took a sip of the red wine in the glass, then looked at Ji Yao and said with a smile.
Hearing this, Ji Yao smiled in an ambiguous way. In his opinion, Qian Muchue's words were a bit exaggerated. Most businessmen are profit-driven and who doesn't want to be the best? He didn't believe that Qian Muchue really thought so.
"I was thinking about what happened many years ago. Our Ji family and Gong family almost accepted the relationship between Qin and Jin, but it was a pity. If Shark Tesco can cooperate with Chuxin Technology, it can make up for some of the regrets. I just expressed my feelings casually. Mr. Qian, please don't take it to heart." Ji Yao said this, but his behavior clearly showed that he wanted Qian Muchue to take it to heart.
Qian Muchue didn't know about the affair between the Ji family and the Gong family, but Ji Yao's sudden mention of this clearly had ill intentions. No matter what Qian Muchue thought in her heart, she certainly couldn't show it to him.
"Fate is hard to say. It's better for Mr. Ji not to force it." Qian Muchue's expression remained unchanged, as if she had known about this for a long time.
"It was very interesting to chat with Mr. Qian. I have something else to do today. Next time I have a chance, I will talk to Mr. Qian again to discuss business tips."
Today is Shark Tesco's thank-you cocktail party, and Ji Yao is still quite busy. In this short period of time, he roughly understands what kind of person Qian Muchue is. She is much tougher than she looks. Apart from her background, he has to admit that Qian Muchue is a very outstanding woman, and Gong Chen has a good eye.
However, he just mentioned the old things between the Ji family and the Gong family on purpose. There is no right or wrong in business, and Ji Yao actually understood that, but he just didn't like Gong Chen, so he deliberately made some trouble for Gong Chen. He didn't believe that Qian Muchue was really as unaffected as she seemed on the surface.
Watching Ji Yao leave, Qian Muchue put away her smile. Her face was almost frozen from talking to this big shot. Thinking of what Ji Yao said about the friendship between Qin and Jin, Qian Muchue felt a little uncomfortable. No wonder she always felt something was wrong when Gong Chen told her about the conflict between the Ji and Gong families. It turned out there was this.
On the other side, Ji Yao had just separated from Qian Muchue when a well-dressed young lady came up to him.
"Brother, you dare to hook up with a little star in this kind of situation. Aren't you afraid that your fiancée will get jealous and make a fuss with you." Ji Ru teased her brother Ji Yao with a smile. She saw Ji Yao chatting with a woman for a long time from a distance and thought he was being harassed by some female star.
Hearing what his sister Ji Ru said, Ji Yao raised his eyebrows slightly, with a somewhat puzzled expression.
"She's taken, and you know I can't hook up with her." Ji Yao said with a hint of meaning.
"I know him? Who is it?" Ji Ru was curious. When she saw his profile, she didn't recognize him.
"Qian Muchue, Gong Chen's little wife." Ji Yao replied.
Ji Ru's good mood was ruined by Ji Yao's words. She is 30 years old this year and has not yet married, which is partly because of Gong Chen.
When the Ji family's company encountered problems, they turned to the Gong family, which also started out in real estate, for help. However, the Ji family's problems were relatively serious, and they had no relatives or friends. Even though the Gong family was rich, they were unwilling to take risks for no reason.
So, Grandpa Ji came up with the idea of an arranged marriage. After all, when the Xie family was in trouble, it was through an arranged marriage that they got help from the Gong family. When Grandpa Ji and Grandpa Gong brought it up, Grandpa Gong did not object and quickly arranged a blind date.
Ji Ru was only 22 years old at the time and was very resistant to blind dates, but her family situation forced her to agree. As a result, not only was she unhappy, but the other party was also unhappy.
But the problem is, if you don't want to come, you can just not come. But what happened is that Gong Chen came, but left in less than ten minutes. What does this mean? Doesn't it clearly tell Ji Ru that Gong Chen doesn't like her?
It would be fine if Ji Ru also didn't like Gong Chen, but the key is that the little girl Ji Ru fell in love with Gong Chen. Gong Chen has been more stable than his peers since childhood, not to mention his appearance, which is many times better than her brother Ji Yao. The inexperienced Ji Ru was easily attracted to him.
At that time, Gong Chen had made his mark in the business world, and Qichen Film and Television was also well-known. Ji Ru did not give up. On the one hand, for the sake of her family, and on the other hand for herself, she took the initiative to go to Qichen Film and Television to find Gong Chen, but the other party avoided her.
Later, the Ji family was forced to sell the land they had accumulated for several years and switch to the Internet industry. Ji Ru still went to find Gong Chen from time to time, but of course, the other party still did not give her any chance.
The two actually had no contact, but Ji Ru, who had never experienced any setbacks since childhood, was still hurt by love. Her brother Ji Yao, who was born of the same mother, certainly did not have a good impression of Gong Chen.
It would be wrong to say that Ji Ru still likes Gong Chen. She is more unwilling to give up. For so many years, she has been wanting to find a man better than Gong Chen. Her standards are wealth, ability, and appearance. This is not that easy.
So, Ji Ru tried dating several people, but they all broke up in the end. Fortunately, Gong Chen had not had a partner for so many years, so Ji Ru felt a little more balanced. At least it was not because she was bad, but because of Gong Chen himself.
As a result, Qian Muchue suddenly appeared, and Gong Chen didn't even spread any news about his love life. He directly announced to the public that he was married and had a daughter. Ji Ru didn't even have time to adapt, and had to accept that the person she liked when she was young was already someone else's husband and father.
"Why did you invite her over?" Ji Ru asked unhappily. It was impossible for her to like Gong Chen's wife. This woman made her feel like a failure.
"You know about Chuxin Technology," Ji Yao replied.
"Brother, let me take charge of Qugou Technology." Ji Ru requested. She knew that Ji Yao founded Qugou Technology to replace that woman's Chuxin Technology.
"No." Ji Yao refused without even thinking.
Although Ji Ru holds an executive position in Shark Tesco, her abilities are not outstanding. Without the filter of brother, Ji Yao can say fairly that Ji Ru is inferior to Qian Muchue in every aspect except that she is older. Asking her to manage Qugou Technology would be like giving Qian Muchue a head start.
Although Ji Ru was dissatisfied with this, she didn't say anything. Although her brother treated her very well, Ji Yao was very principled when it came to official business and would not let her mess around.
......
After chatting with Ji Yao, Qian Muchue left the thank-you cocktail party held by Shark Tesco and returned home early. She decided to make trouble for Gong Chen. She was actually a little excited at the thought. Since they got married, she and Gong Chen seemed to have never had a quarrel.
So, when Gong Chen came back, he saw the twin brother and sister who could not walk yet sitting on the carpet, being forced to accept the knowledge that Qian Xiaoya had just learned from kindergarten, while his wife was looking at him with a sad and hurt look. Gong Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Didn't you go to the Shark Tesco cocktail party today? Why are you back so early?" Gong Chen asked conservatively without knowing what Qian Muchue was doing.
"I went there and came back when nothing happened. Ji Yao told me something. Since you lied to me." Qian Muchue complained with a look of grievance.
Seeing Qian Muchue's uncharacteristic behavior, Gong Chen took her hand and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
"Well, it's more comfortable to sit down and talk. What did Ji Yao say?" Gong Chen was very calm.
Seeing this, Qian Muchue's emotions, which she had worked so hard to build up, almost broke. No, she was a professional actor, and no matter what interference she encountered, she could immerse herself in the role.
"Ji Yao said that the Ji family and the Gong family almost had an affair. Why didn't you tell me about this? Will your past with Miss Ji hurt me?" Qian Muchue looked hurt.
"Well, since you guessed it, why are you still asking me? I'm doing this for your own good." Gong Chen said with a serious face, as if he had something to hide.
"What's really going on with you guys?" Qian Muchue was immediately stunned after hearing Gong Chen's words and asked with wide eyes.
When she saw Gong Chen looking at her with amusement, Qian Muchue realized that the other party was deliberately teasing her.
"Not playing anymore?" Gong Chen joked with a smile.
"I haven't acted for a long time, and I want to see if I have fallen behind in my professional skills." Qian Muchue was not embarrassed when she was found out, and said with a smile.
In fact, on the way back, Qian Muchue figured it out. With Gong Chen's personality, if he really had any feelings for Ji Ru, they would have been married long ago, so why would it be her turn? However, Qian Muchue was indeed a little curious about the affairs of the Ji family and the Gong family.
Seeing that she was curious, Gong Chen did not hide it. He did not tell Qian Muchue before because he felt there was no need to. In his opinion, it was not a big deal.
Gong Chen's understanding of the situation was completely different from Ji Ru's. When the Gong family and the Ji family had a blind date, Old Man Gong did not explain it clearly to Gong Chen. The old man knew that once he told Gong Chen, Gong Chen would definitely not come.
So, at that time, Gong Chen thought it was some normal social interaction, but when he arrived at the place, he realized it was a blind date. At that time, Gong Chen was very opposed to this kind of business marriage because of the matter between Xie Ying and Gong Mingwei, so he didn't stay for long and left on the pretext of having something to do.
As for the young lady from the Ji family, he had no idea what she looked like because he had never seen her. Later, when the young lady from the Ji family came to the company to find him, he asked the staff to stop her.
The relationship between the two is clearer than water, so Gong Chen did not mention this matter to Qian Muchue. It would seem strange if he did.
"That's it?" Qian Muchue looked at Gong Chen in disbelief. Ji Yao actually said that a brief blind date was almost a match between the two families. This man was such a jerk.
"What's wrong? You look a little disappointed?" Seeing Qian Muchue's reaction, Gong Chen raised his eyebrows and asked back.
"No, I'm very happy. My husband is still innocent in my heart." Qian Muchue reacted quickly, stretched out her arms to hug Gong Chen's waist, looked up at Gong Chen and said sweetly.
Gong Chen was pleased by Qian Muchue's appearance. He lowered his head and kissed Qian Muchue on the lips.
"Well, your husband is innocent. You are his first love, you are his now, and you will be his future." Gong Chen said slowly.
Qian Muchue's heart beat wildly when she heard Gong Chen's sudden confession. They were an old married couple, but she couldn't help blushing after hearing this. Her husband's voice was really suitable for sweet talk, and she should say it more often.
"Yeah, me too." Qian Muchue responded softly, burying her head in Gong Chen's arms.
Gong Chen held his lovely wife in his arms, looking at his three noisy children not far away, his heart was warm. This is life.
