"If you can't speak properly, then shut up," the sugar daddy scolded Wei Xiaoqing.
Wei Xiaoqing wanted to explain further, but the sugar daddy had already apologized to Zhao Qinglan and Zhang Yu with a smile.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Zhang, who is this gentleman?"
"This is our company's General Manager Zhao."
"Hello, Mr. Zhao."
One doesn't hit a smiling face, so even though Zhao Qinglan didn't like the man in front of her, she smiled and nodded.
Seeing that Zhao Qinglan didn't say anything, the patron breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I'm really sorry, the subordinate I brought isn't quite right in the head. I'll have her leave right away."
After saying that, he grabbed Wei Xiaoqing's arm and walked out.
The patron spoke loudly, and although many people scoffed at his explanation, they remained neutral since the matter didn't involve them personally.
After watching the person leave, Zhang Yu sneered.
"It runs pretty fast."
"You femme fatale are quite vengeful. It's been so long, yet you still harbor such hostility towards me," Zhao Qinglan said self-deprecatingly.
Zhang Yu was a little embarrassed, because, in a way, this was the trouble he had brought upon Zhao Qinglan.
He never expected that he would encounter a lunatic while attending a banquet, so he could only beg Zhao Qinglan for mercy, "Qinglan, please don't tell my Song Yi about what happened today."
Although he has a clear conscience, this woman can be completely unreasonable once she starts causing trouble for you, so it's better to avoid getting involved.
Zhao Qinglan chuckled. "I didn't realize you were so henpecked."
Zhang Yu was embarrassed by the teasing. "What? I was just being nice to my Song Yi."
"Yes, yes, you must always keep this good quality."
Originally, Zhao Qinglan only went with Zhang Yu to get to know some people Zhang Yu knew in the business world here. However, because of Wei Xiaoqing's incident, some people became curious about Zhao Qinglan's identity.
A Hong Kong businessman glanced at Zhao Qinglan a few more times and then asked the government investment promotion official who was accompanying him.
Who is that woman?
As it happened, this official had spoken with Zhang Yu and his group before and knew Zhao Qinglan's identity, so he explained it to the Hong Kong businessman.
"That's one of the owners of Yaohua, a newly emerging real estate company this year. His surname is Zhao."
"Oh, his surname is Zhao," the Hong Kong businessman repeated, then said nothing more.
Wei Xiaoqing, who had been dragged out of the hotel by her sugar daddy, cried out in pain.
"It hurts so much, why are we leaving?"
The sugar daddy only hated that this woman was as stupid as a pig, and regretted bringing her along.
"You still have the nerve to ask? You almost got me killed."
"What did I do? Why are you yelling at me?" Wei Xiaoqing felt extremely wronged.
The next second, a crisp slap made her eyes widen.
"Do you even know who that is? How dare you be so arrogant as to offend him?"
"But she embarrassed me before." Even now, Wei Xiaoqing still couldn't forget her personal grudge.
"I don't want to hear your past crap. Right now, get back to my house and pack your things and move out."
"You're kicking me out!" Wei Xiaoqing shouted.
"Considering you worked for me for a while, I won't hold it against you for embarrassing me today. If you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now."
Seeing that the man in front of her didn't seem to be lying at all, and that all the tenderness and intimacy he used to show her were gone, Wei Xiaoqing finally understood what kind of situation she had become.
She was naturally unwilling to accept this, but she had no confidence to challenge the man.
Not wanting to leave the sugar daddy she had worked so hard to win over, she was on the verge of tears.
"I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. I didn't know who she was. I didn't mean to."
Unfortunately, no matter how much she begged for mercy, the man was determined to make her leave.
In the middle of the night, Wei Xiaoqing moved out of the big house where she had lived for several months with her belongings. She blamed Zhao Qinglan for this again, never imagining that if Zhao Qinglan hadn't picked a fight, she wouldn't be in this situation now.
However, if she could understand these things, she wouldn't repeatedly act foolishly and think she's being clever.
Zhao Qinglan stayed until the end of the banquet before leaving with most of the guests.
As she and Zhang Yu went outside to wait for the car to arrive, the Hong Kong businessman gave her another deep look as he walked by.
When Zhao Qinglan noticed and looked over, she only saw the Hong Kong businessman's receding figure, and some doubts arose in her heart.
"Qinglan, what are you looking at?" Zhang Yu suddenly asked from the side.
"It's nothing, the car's here, let's go," Zhao Qinglan said.
As soon as she got in the car, she started rubbing her ankle, not standing on ceremony with Zhang Yu at all.
Wearing high heels for a long time really makes your feet sore and tired.
"I don't know why you women love wearing these high heels. Song Yi is the same. It makes walking slow and uncomfortable. Aren't you just asking for trouble?" Zhang Yu muttered.
Zhao Qinglan was too lazy to explain his straightforward attitude and just said speechlessly, "If you don't understand, don't speak, especially in front of Song Yi, or Song Yi will give you a hard time."
Zhang Yu then reluctantly shut up, but he didn't stay quiet for more than a few seconds before starting to talk about other things.
"The project I told you about yesterday..."
The success of their first real estate project earned them a large sum of money, and Zhang Yu became increasingly confident in the industry.
When they started this first project, they didn't have many of their own people; everything was outsourced and partnered with. But now that the company has gained some recognition, they've begun to develop their own construction teams and related talent.
Zhao Qinglan always emphasized this point to him: to have a long-term vision and to be willing to temporarily give up some benefits in order to lay a solid foundation for the company's long-term development.
Although Zhao Qinglan owes much of her knowledge to her previous life, these were indeed ideas she had carefully considered.
Fortunately, Zhang Yu is a smart man. After careful consideration, he found many of Zhao Qinglan's words to be very reasonable and he was able to listen to them. So far, the two have not had any major disagreements on official matters.
Originally, Song Yi had invited Zhao Qinglan to stay at her home when she came to Shenzhen, but Zhao Qinglan thought that since they had two babies and a nanny they had hired to help, she would only cause trouble if she went there, so she stayed at a hotel this time.
She was only staying for a few days, and staying in a hotel was convenient for everything.
After dropping her off, Zhang Yu urged the driver to go home. He had been away for so long and was already missing his wife and children back home.
Meanwhile, the Hong Kong businessman who had paid some attention to Zhao Qinglan today returned to his residence, took a shower, and had just lay down to rest when he sat up again, thinking about today's banquet.
He picked up the phone and made the call.
The call was finally answered much later.
"Is Madam Sun here? I am Sheng Maocai."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, your wife has gone on vacation with friends."
When will she be back?
"The lady didn't say."
Having no other option, Sheng Maocai had to hang up the phone.
After a while, he started laughing.
He realized he was overthinking things, shook his head, put the matter out of his mind, and went back to bed to rest.
