Because the company had more money, Zhang Yu got a better car, and the old one was left as a company vehicle.
The driver was no longer Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang was tight-lipped and good at handling things, and now he was in charge of a lot of things at the company. Zhang Yu was being driven by a full-time driver, but since both bosses were there, Xiao Wang was also in the car, sitting in the passenger seat.
In the car, Xiao Wang also reported some official business to Zhang Yu.
When the car stopped in front of a hotel, someone quickly came over and opened the car door for them.
Zhang Yu and Zhao Qinglan got out of the car and walked inside side by side without any intimate gestures.
When they were led to a large hall, a cacophony of noise greeted them.
Music, crowds, and conversation.
As soon as they appeared, people Zhang Yu knew came over to greet them.
Inevitably, some people asked about Zhao Qinglan's identity.
Those familiar with Zhang Yu know that he has connections in Beijing and his business is doing quite well. He is now quite wealthy and powerful, yet he has always maintained a clean and honest lifestyle.
You know, many business owners in Shenzhen have wives back in their hometowns, while they keep mistresses here.
I've heard that some people are imitating the wealthy people in Hong Kong who openly say they own two or three bedrooms.
Now that Zhang Yu has appeared with a young and beautiful female companion, naturally some people have their own interpretations.
However, when Zhang Yu introduced her as another partner in his company, the way those people looked at Zhao Qinglan changed.
If she were just a mistress or a concubine, they might not ignore her out of respect for Zhang Yu, but they wouldn't treat her with much respect. However, if she were Zhang Yu's partner, they would have to treat Zhao Qinglan as an equal.
Of course, some people had doubts about Zhao Qinglan's identity as a partner, believing that Zhang Yu was "gilding" Zhao Qinglan's reputation. However, after Zhao Qinglan easily and naturally participated in some business discussions, those who had doubts no longer dared to question Zhao Qinglan's identity.
Although Zhao Qinglan appeared relaxed, her back was actually tense the whole time.
To achieve this day, she actually put in a lot of effort and hard work that many people couldn't see.
Fortunately, her efforts were all worthwhile.
Just as Zhang Yu said, this banquet was indeed of a high level, with Hong Kong and Taiwanese businessmen present, as well as blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners.
Through Zhang Yu's introduction, she also met several government officials in charge of attracting investment.
Just as they were inside, drinking and chatting with others, another car pulled up outside the hotel.
"I told you to hurry up, what are you doing? You made us so late." A male voice complained as soon as the car door opened.
"I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to look better so you could save face," the woman argued.
As she spoke, she hooked her arm around the man's and began to act coquettishly. "Darling, don't be angry anymore. Don't I look pretty now?"
"Well, it's too late to complain now," the man finally said, stopping himself from continuing.
The two walked intimately into the banquet hall.
Upon seeing the Hong Kong businessman he had long wanted to befriend, the man immediately walked over.
"Mr. Liu, I've heard so much about you. I never expected to meet you here."
The man was socializing with others, and the woman was a little bored. She looked around and was about to look away when she suddenly fixed her gaze on a woman.
"It's you!" the woman gritted her teeth.
The person she was staring at was Zhao Qinglan, who had just retreated to a corner to catch her breath after being exhausted from socializing.
Seeing that Zhao Qinglan was all alone, without a single man by her side, and seemed somewhat "lonely," Wei Xiaoqing took a wine glass and walked over.
"Hey, who's this? Why are you all alone here?" Wei Xiaoqing said sarcastically.
Looking at the woman in front of her who seemed somewhat familiar, yet she couldn't quite place her, Zhao Qinglan frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
"What? You don't recognize me?" Wei Xiaoqing immediately bristled.
How long had he held a grudge against this woman, that she didn't even remember who he was?
This was an immense humiliation for Wei Xiaoqing.
Still not recognizing the person in front of her, Zhao Qinglan said irritably, "Why should I know you?"
This woman spoke to me in an unfriendly tone as soon as she came over. Why should I give her a nice look? Does she really think she's the King of Heaven?
"Zhao Qinglan, stop pretending. You know perfectly well who I am. If it weren't for you, why would I be here?" Wei Xiaoqing stopped abruptly.
Although Wei Xiaoqing had only said half of what she wanted to say, Zhao Qinglan suddenly realized what she meant after Wei Xiaoqing's reminder.
So it was that guy who had been rude and got water thrown at him as a lesson.
Once she remembered who it was, Zhao Qinglan didn't want to talk to her at all. She got up to leave, but Wei Xiaoqing stopped her.
"Stop!"
"Are you out of your mind?" Zhao Qinglan said, annoyed.
"How did you sneak in all by yourself?" Wei Xiaoqing asked with ill intent.
She didn't believe Zhao Qinglan got in on her own merits at all. In her mind, there were no strong women, and even if there were, they couldn't be Zhao Qinglan.
Seeing that Zhao Qinglan had no male companion and was hiding alone in a corner, they felt that Zhao Qinglan had sneaked in and were very guilty.
It just so happens that she has vivid memories of what happened back then and has been thinking about how to get revenge on Zhao Qinglan.
Having finally seized a "good opportunity," how could they not take advantage of it?
Zhao Qinglan gave her a look as if she were an idiot, didn't even want to say a word, and walked around her to leave.
Unfortunately, Wei Xiaoqing took her reaction as a sign of guilt and immediately started pressing the issue.
"There's a woman who's snuck in here. Staff, get her out of here right now."
