Chapter 121.
Qian Chengshu, who took the initiative to act as a matchmaker, still served as the driver this time, but the place where Shen Tianxing made the appointment was more hidden and private. Moreover, Xu Baiqing had originally planned to use her mobile phone to let Qian Yirong listen to her conversation with Shen Tianxing, just like the last time she met Mu Zexuan.
However, Qian Yirong stopped Xu Baiqing's idea after knowing where they were going to meet, because there was a radio wave detector where they were going to meet, and if the mobile phone was kept on talking, it would be detected, so this method would not work.
As a result, Xu Baiqing undoubtedly became much more nervous. Although she couldn't hear Qian Yirong's voice if she kept talking on the phone, she always had the feeling that Qian Yirong was with her, which made Xu Baiqing feel very safe. But now that she couldn't keep in touch with Qian Yirong, Xu Baiqing couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
So when Qian Chengshu met Xu Baiqing, he found that her face looked a little serious. Qian Chengshu thought that Xu Baiqing was a little nervous because she was going to meet Shen Tianxing.
"Sister, don't be afraid, brother will be with you." Qian Chengshu said with pretended concern, because he knew that a man like Shen Tianxing would not do anything to her even if he did not reach an agreement with Xu Baiqing.
If Shen Tianxing was a very bad person and Xu Baiqing offended him, Qian Chengshu would definitely draw a clear line with Xu Baiqing at the first moment to prevent her from implicating him.
"I understand." Xu Baiqing met Qian Chengshu's gaze in the rearview mirror, gave him a forced smile and said.
This time the meeting place was the Octavia Club, a high-end membership club, and members had to spend a certain amount of money in the club every year to continue to be members.
After Qian Yirong knew that the meeting place was the Mingrui Club, she checked the boss behind the club. Although on the surface he had no connection with the Shen family, Qian Yirong still found some clues.
Because the Shen family is related to the Mingrui Club, Qian Yirong knows that once there is any movement, the person in charge of the Mingrui Club will definitely report the situation to Shen Tianxing. This is the fundamental reason why it can be like last time.
Because the license plate had been registered in advance, Qian Chengshu drove the car into the underground parking lot smoothly. This was his first time at the Octavia Club. Before, Qian Jia was still a little short of becoming a member of the Octavia Club, and the high membership fee of the Octavia Club also made Qian Jia feel a little painful.
After Qian Chengshu parked the car, he got out and waited for Xu Baiqing. He took the elevator with Xu Baiqing. Qian Chengshu looked at the numbers jumping on the elevator panel and felt that Shen Tianxing was much more generous than Mu Zexuan. He had asked him to participate in this meeting before.
The two of them arrived at the top floor, the elevator door opened, the corridor was a little dim, and the surrounding lights were not too bright. The atmosphere in the corridor was serious and a little gloomy, which made Qian Chengshu unconsciously feel a little nervous.
"It's just ahead, let's go quickly." Qian Chengshu said a little uncomfortably.
Xu Baiqing nodded and followed him, then saw Qian Chengshu walk to the end of the corridor and knock on the door of the innermost room. This room was at the deepest part of the corridor, and the tightly closed door was like a bottomless trap that seemed like it could catch people at any time.
"Mr. Shen, my sister is here." Qian Chengshu said with a trembling voice.
A slight "click" sound was heard, and the door in front of him opened. Qian Chengshu saw a handsome young man wearing a butler's uniform that was convenient for movement. After opening the door, he stepped aside and made a gesture to invite him in.
Qian Chengshu could tell from his standard and elegant movements that this man was professionally trained. Qian Chengshu tried his best to lead Xu Baiqing into the room without showing any timidity. Xu Baiqing also pretended to rely on Qian Chengshu, letting him test the waters in front while he observed the situation in the room from the back.
"Where is Mr. Shen?" Qian Chengshu looked around after entering the room and saw no one, so he asked.
"Boss Shen and Boss Li are in the reception room inside. Please go to the right," the young deacon replied respectfully.
It turned out that this suite was very large, and Qian Chengshu only saw a part of it. Shen Tianxing and Li Jingyan were waiting for them in the reception room inside. Although the young deacon in front of him did not show any strange expression, Qian Chengshu felt that his ignorance was a bit embarrassing, and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Yes, that's right. Sister, let's go over there quickly and don't keep Mr. Shen and the others waiting for too long." Qian Chengshu maintained his expression and greeted Xu Baiqing.
Xu Baiqing lowered his eyes to hide the mockery in his eyes. Qian Chengshu was completely shocked by Shen Tianxing's preemptive move. If Qian Chengshu had discussed cooperation with Shen Tianxing, he would definitely be led by the nose in the subsequent confrontation. No wonder Qian Yirong didn't take Qian Chengshu seriously at all.
The two followed the guidance of the deacon boy and came to the reception room on the right. The deacon boy knocked on the door gently and reported the news of the visitor. After Shen Tianxing's voice came from the door, the deacon boy opened the door and invited the two in.
After Qian Chengshu and Xu Baiqing entered the reception room, the young deacon closed the door. Xu Baiqing also saw the situation in the reception room clearly. Shen Tianxing was sitting in front of the coffee table waiting for them, while Li Jingyan was sitting on the sofa beside him. Compared with Shen Tianxing's calm expression, Li Jingyan's expression was a little complicated.
"Bai Qing, long time no see." Li Jingyan stood up and greeted him with a gentle smile.
"It's been a long time indeed, Mr. Li." Xu Baiqing's answer was full of courtesy.
When Li Jingyan heard Xu Baiqing calling him like that, the gentle smile on his face froze. He felt that the separation during this period had made their already not very familiar relationship even more distant.
"Sister, I remember that you were very familiar with Mr. Li. Why do you seem so unfamiliar with him?" Qian Chengshu said disapprovingly.
In his opinion, although he was betting on both sides, and Mu Zexuan would let him eat more because of Xu Baiqing, the leftovers on Shen Tianxing's side were obviously bigger, and Qiancheng Shu hoped that he could also get more from Shen Tianxing.
Li Jingyan couldn't help but frown after Qian Chengshu spoke. Even though what Qian Chengshu said was what he wanted to hear, he still disliked Qian Chengshu's implicit coercion of Xu Baiqing.
"Don't stand at the door and say hello, come and sit down." Shen Tianxing greeted. He was not interested in watching Li Jingyan and Xu Baiqing get along.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Shen is right. Mr. Li, sister, let's not stand here and talk. Let's go sit with Mr. Shen." Qian Chengshu echoed Shen Tianxing's words.
Li Jingyan didn't say anything. When Xu Baiqing nodded, he followed them and sat down. The three of them sat down near the coffee table, and Shen Tianxing poured tea for them.
Qian Chengshu was somewhat flattered as he looked at the teacup that Shen Tianxing pushed in front of him. He didn't expect that he would have the chance to drink the tea brewed by Shen Tianxing. However, Shen Tianxing's attention was all on Xu Baiqing, who was standing beside Qian Chengshu with his head lowered and his eyes looking pleasing.
Although she behaved very obediently, Shen Tianxing subconsciously felt that she was not that kind of person. He shifted his gaze and glanced at Qian Chengshu, who was already holding a teacup next to Xu Baiqing. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. Was she pretending in front of him, Shen Tianxing guessed.
In that case, this cooperation may not be discussed in front of Qiancheng Shu. However, if people are sent out, it may affect Xu Baiqing's plan, so we need to think of other ways.
Although he had thought a lot, Shen Tianxing didn't show it on his face. Instead, he looked like he was having a very pleasant conversation with Qian Chengshu. Qian Chengshu didn't realize that he was being perfunctory, but felt that this conversation went incredibly smoothly.
Xu Baiqing noticed it, she raised her eyes and met Shen Tianxing's gaze, the deep meaning in his eyes made Xu Baiqing lower her eyes unconsciously, but she couldn't help but guess what he wanted to do in her heart.
Both she and Shen Tianxing knew that although it seemed that the cooperation could be finalized at any time, in fact, the matter had not even started at all. Only Qian Chengshu felt that everything was going well.
However, Xu Baiqing soon understood Shen Tianxing's intention, because he made Qian Chengshu think that they had reached an agreement. Then Shen Tianxing took the opportunity to shift the topic to the Mingrui Club, saying that Qian Chengshu would soon become a member of the club, so why not let the deacon in their room take him to visit.
He wanted to get rid of Qiancheng Shu. Xu Baiqing analyzed Shen Tianxing's intention before he finished speaking, but she said nothing. Instead, she acquiesced to Tianxing's actions. She knew that the real test for her would begin after Qiancheng Shu left.
Qian Chengshu was quickly coaxed away by Shen Tianxing. When he left the reception room, the atmosphere became serious. Shen Tianxing looked at Xu Baiqing, and Xu Baiqing also changed from her submissive look. She straightened her waist, raised her head and looked directly into Shen Tianxing's scrutinizing gaze.
"Sure enough, this look is still pleasing to the eye." Shen Tianxing looked at Xu Baiqing like this, his stern face relaxed, and he said with a smile, "I thought you were really fooled by Qiancheng Shu."
"Him?" Xu Baiqing said with disdain, showing a hint of sarcasm on his face, "He's not worthy."
"Wow, it's only been a short time and you've grown to this point." Shen Tianxing couldn't help but sigh.
"Stop the small talk and tell me the real reason why you asked me to come here." Xu Baiqing said with a serious expression.
“Before we talk, I have a question for you.” Shen Tianxing put away the smile on his face and said seriously.
"You ask." Xu Baiqing said concisely.
"What do you think of Qian Yirong?" Shen Tianxing asked. He observed Xu Baiqing carefully, not missing any of her reactions.
Xu Baiqing had a complicated look on her face. She anticipated that Shen Tianxing would talk to her and he would definitely mention Qian Yirong. It was impossible for Xu Baiqing to pretend that she had no feelings for Qian Yirong, so she needed to be half true and half false.
"...I don't know," Xu Baiqing said hesitantly, "She's very good to me, really very good, but I don't want to maintain this kind of relationship with her. I don't feel safe."
Shen Tianxing listened to Xu Baiqing's answer and saw her hesitation, but he felt relieved. If Xu Baiqing showed that she didn't care about Qian Yirong, he would think that Xu Baiqing might be working with Qian Yirong to plot against them.
"I know what you are worried about, so cooperate with me. You will have the opportunity to be on equal footing with Qian Yirong, or even control her instead." Shen Tianxing's words were full of temptation.
