Chapter 206
His voice was so soft, and coupled with the rumble of the ferry departing, Jiang Meishu couldn't quite hear. "What did you say?"
Chen Qing shook his head. The sea breeze blew away the strands of hair on his forehead, revealing an overly pale face. "Nothing."
Jiang Meishu was about to ask something when Qiao Jiahui came over, grabbed her arm, and ran inside. "Sister-in-law, let me show you fishing. They caught a big one."
After saying that, Jiang Meishu sighed, "Qiao Jiahui, let me go first."
Qiao Jiahui subconsciously let go of his hand. It was only then that he saw Chen Qing standing there. "Teacher Chen, you're here too."
It's really amazing that I realized it after the fact.
Jiang Meishu was sweating for him. Chen Qing stared at him for a long moment, then slowly said, "Hmm."
Very cold.
This left Qiao Jiahui somewhat bewildered. "There's a tuna over a hundred pounds caught over there. Do you want to go take a look?"
Taking the initiative to invite is considered to ease the relationship between the two sides.
When Qiao Jiahui thought Chen Qing would not go, he did not expect Chen Qing to agree, "Okay."
The concise tone of his words actually made Qiao Jiahui feel a little flattered. "Teacher Chen, it's amazing that someone as knowledgeable as you actually enjoys something as fun as fishing."
Qiao Jiahui himself is semi-illiterate and did not even graduate from junior high school, so he naturally has a filter for people with good grades.
Chen Qing smiled but didn't respond.
Fishing is actually nothing interesting. Qiao Jiahui watched it with great interest, while Chen Qing stared at Qiao Jiahui with an ambiguous look.
Unfortunately, Qiao Jiahui, this big idiot, didn't notice it at all.
However, Jiang Meishu next to her noticed something. She was a little scared and thought, could it be that Chen Qing likes Qiao Jiahui?
However, this look doesn't seem like the look of looking at a lover, but more like the look of looking at an enemy?
Before Jiang Meishu could think too much, she felt a little seasick and started to complain bitterly, throwing away all the thoughts in her mind.
It was not until the boat stopped and reached the New Territories of Hong Kong and her feet touched the ground that Jiang Meishu felt a little more comfortable.
It’s like my feet finally touched solid ground, and the feeling is different.
The dizziness also subsided a little.
"How about it?"
Liang Qiurun was a little worried.
Jiang Meishu swallowed her saliva. Because she had just vomited, her face was a little too pale. "It's okay, much better."
Liang Qiurun, "I'll support you."
Jiang Meishu did not refuse. After they got off at the New Territories dock area, there was a strong sea breeze at the dock, so Qiao Jiahui took the lead and walked to the front to wait for the car.
He told his family early on that someone would come to pick them up today.
Qiao Jiahui waited for a long time before Uncle Kan finally arrived. He was a little unhappy and complained, "What a mess! I told my family in advance that I came back with guests, so why am I still late?"
Uncle Kan apologized with sweat on his forehead, "Master, it's not that I'm late, it's that the master used this extended Lincoln today, so I have no choice."
In the Qiao family, the priority is definitely Master Qiao, followed by Young Master Qiao Jiahui.
Qiao Jiahui frowned slightly, "Isn't today Saturday? My dad usually stays at home with my mom on Saturdays, but he's out?"
How should Uncle Kan respond to this?
Could it be that today is Miss Shen's birthday and the master went there specially to accompany her? If this were said, Qiao Jiahui would probably explode.
Therefore, Uncle Kan could only make an excuse, "Something happened at the shipping company, and the master went to take care of it temporarily."
This kind of talk might be enough to fool Qiao Jiahui, but if it is used to fool Liang Qiurun, it is probably not enough.
Liang Qiurun looked up at Uncle Kan. His gaze was so sharp that it was difficult for Uncle Kan to ignore it even if he wanted to.
His pupils shrank when he was looked at. As the steward of the Qiao family, he naturally knew who the other person was. He immediately put on a smile and said, "This must be Director Liang, right? He is truly a disciple who surpasses his master."
"You can tell you're an elite at first glance."
Jiang Meishu was stunned when she heard the word. The word "elite" would not appear for at least ten or twenty years, but she did not expect that it had already appeared in Hong Kong in the past seven or eight years.
All I can say is that Hong Kong is indeed many years ahead of them in this regard.
Liang Qiurun didn't comment, he just hummed. Uncle Kan tactfully opened the car door and told everyone to get in.
This was Jiang Meishu's first time riding in a luxury car, a stretched Lincoln from the 1970s, which probably cost nearly one million RMB.
Jiang Meishu used to think that she had made some money and was considered wealthy, but when she saw that the Qiao family had not yet come to her door, she suddenly felt that she was so poor.
The Qiao family lived in a villa halfway up the mountain, some distance from the New Territories. It took an hour to drive there. There was someone guarding the door, so as soon as they saw the car coming back, someone immediately opened the door.
Uncle Kan drove straight inside. When the car stopped, he saw many people standing at the door of the European-style gate.
The leader was Qiao Guangzheng, who was over sixty years old, well-maintained, with black hair, but the fine lines at the corners of his eyes revealed some of his age.
He was born very elegant, and even though he was old, one could still see the charm of his youth in his eyes and eyebrows.
He is Qiao Jiahui's father.
When Qiao Jiahui came down, he was the first to call out, "Dad."
He was very serious, and seemed like a completely different person from the Qiao Jiahui outside.
Qiao Guangzheng just glanced at him, nodded, and asked, "Where's Brother Qiu Run?"
Qiao Jiahui complained, "Dad, you don't even look at your own son, but you only look at my brother Qiurun?"
Qiao Guangzheng didn't want to pay any attention to his son. He looked back at the car. After a while, Liang Qiurun finally helped Jiang Meishu down. Qiao Guangzheng thought highly of Liang Qiurun and took two steps forward to greet him. "Brother Qiurun, you really made me wait so long."
He started calling Liang Qiurun to come to Hong Kong last year.
But it took almost a year for Liang Qiurun to come.
Liang Qiurun nodded, "Brother Qiao."
He greeted her first, then introduced her, "This is my wife, Jiang Meilan."
When Jiang Meishu heard the name, her heart immediately trembled. She thought to herself, I never felt guilty before, why do I feel so guilty this time?
So she could only nod palely.
Qiao Guangzheng, who was standing next to him, was also stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Meishu's appearance, but with his status, he had seen too many beauties.
He smiled and said, "It's true that the climate and soil of the mainland nourish people. It has nurtured both Brother Liang and your lover so well."
The double entendre praised two people at once, and also included the mainland.
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised when she heard this. She thought to herself, is this how a big boss speaks? It sounds really nice.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet someone."
Qiao Guang was leading the way, and there were about ten people standing at the door. "This is my wife, Shen Ruoping, and these three are my daughters."
"The eldest is Qiao Qinglan, the second is Qiao Qinghui, and the third is Qiao Qingzhu."
Qiao Jiahui's three sisters each have their own beauty.
Jiang Meishu was a little surprised. She had never heard Qiao Jiahui mention that he had a sister. However, Chen Qing, who was the last one to come, suddenly looked up when he heard these three names.
Three clear.
Which Qing Dynasty?
Could it be Chen Qing’s Qing?
Chen Qing didn't know, he only knew that he was in a state of panic. But as he feared, so did he. Qiao Guangzheng happened to notice him and asked, "Who is this?"
He seemed to glance at Chen Qing casually.
Qiao Jiahui, who was standing next to him, immediately explained, "The tutor I hired for Xiaoxiao, Teacher Chen, has excellent grades and was the top student in Yangcheng."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Guangzheng, who was standing next to him, just glanced at Chen Qing and then looked away. His attitude was completely different from how he treated Liang Qiurun and the others.
Too.
Chen Qing laughed at himself, thinking that for a small person like him, it was impossible for someone like Qiao Guangzheng to look him in the eye.
Qiao Guangzheng left first and invited Liang Qiurun, "Brother Qiurun has been traveling all the way. Now that I'm gone, I'll go in and welcome you."
Liang Qiurun hummed, "Thank you."
Ever since he appeared in the Qiao family, he has been holding Jiang Meishu's hand, with their fingers intertwined. In Hong Kong, they never need to be separated from each other, and even their love is open and aboveboard.
The Qiao family’s house is really big.
The welcoming banquet hall where they had their meals was several times larger than the room where Jiang Meishu and her friends lived, and it was also decorated magnificently in a completely European style.
Not only that, Lianlian Fengyan is also very good, covering almost all the good dishes in Hong Kong, and even a few mainland dishes from Guangzhou.
It can be seen that Qiao Guangzheng values Liang Qiurun very much.
During the meal, Qiao Guang was toasting Liang Qiurun, "Brother Qiurun, thank you for taking care of this good-for-nothing and rebellious son of mine."
"I toast you."
Qiao Guangzheng stood up and drank it all in one gulp.
Qiao Jiahui next to him was grinning foolishly, but Chen Qing's hand under the tablecloth suddenly tightened a little.
Unfortunately, no one saw this scene. Liang Qiurun drank some wine and said calmly, "This is what I should do."
"There's no such thing as what you should or shouldn't do. I'm still Jiahui's father, but I can't control him. You're the same way. Brother Liang, I can see that Jiahui has learned a lot from you and has become a lot more stable."
"As a father, I thank you."
Another toast.
Liang Qiurun accepted it all, while Jiang Meishu just focused on eating. During this meal, Liang Qiurun and the others were talking about business, while Jiang Meishu was eating voraciously.
The food in Hong Kong is really delicious.
She simply couldn't stop. After the meal, Liang Qiurun was a little drunk. Jiang Meishu helped him into the house to rest. After a while, Qiao Jiahui's third sister Qiao Qingzhu brought him some sobering soup.
Knock knock knock.
There was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"sister in law."
Jiang Meishu loosened Liang Qiurun's tie, then stood up to open the door. She was a little surprised to see Qiao Qingzhu.
Qiao Qingzhu spoke first, "My father asked me to bring some hangover soup to Director Liang."
Jiang Meishu always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Just then, Qiao Jiahui came over. She immediately saw her savior, "Jiahui."
Qiao Jiahui didn't expect his third sister to appear at Liang Qiurun's bedroom door. He immediately frowned, "Third sister, why are you here?"
"My father asked me to bring you some hangover soup."
Qiao Qingzhu's emotionless narration.
This gave Qiao Jiahui a sudden shock, "Alright, give it to me, I'll take it." He grabbed the tray, brought it in and placed it on the coffee table, then turned around and chased Qiao Qingzhu away, "Alright, alright, I'm here, go on your date."
"I know Chen Huaxing is going to film a TV series. Go and keep an eye on him, or he won't be seduced away by the female vixen who lives there."
Chen Qingzhu hummed, "Then I'll leave this to you. Don't tell father."
"I snuck out."
Qiao Jiahui waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly.
After Chen Qingzhu left, Qiao Jiahui handed the hangover soup to Jiang Meishu, "Little sister-in-law, you come and feed it."
He hesitated for a moment and said, "My father asked my third sister to bring some hangover soup. He didn't mean anything else."
It seems like he is trying to cover up his mistake.
If Jiang Meishu was still skeptical at first, now it is almost certain.
"Your father wants to play matchmaker?"
But Liang Qiurun is married.
Qiao Jiahui didn't want to discuss this issue, but just said euphemistically, "My father likes to maximize profits, and he prefers nepotism."
These few words instantly explained why Qiao Guangzheng asked Qiao Qingzhu to deliver the hangover soup.
Beauty trap.
He was impressed by Liang Qiurun's abilities, but he was worried that Liang Qiurun would fly away sooner or later, so he planned to use his third daughter as a test.
If successful, Liang Qiurun could be tied to the Qiao family's big ship.
Jiang Meishu was stunned after hearing this. "Doesn't he know that Liang Qiurun is married?"
Qiao Jiahui said in a complicated tone, “Of course he knows, but he’s used to it. A man doesn’t think of himself as having only one wife.
"He wants to send my third sister over to be his concubine."
When Jiang Meishu heard this, she stood up in an instant. The noise was so loud that Liang Qiurun snorted. Jiang Meishu patted his shoulder and said, "I'm here, you continue to sleep."
After she soothed Liang Qiurun to sleep, she paced around the room and said, "Qiao Jiahui, your father is such a piece of shit."
He looks like a nice person, but how could he do such despicable things?
Qiao Jiahui hummed, "In Hong Kong, all wealthy men, from the highest to the lowest, have concubines."
"If you want to leave, I'll send you away tomorrow."
He is also a member of the Qiao family, and a member of the Qiao family who cannot leave.
Jiang Meishu almost agreed reflexively, but quickly calmed down and said, "Your third sister won't agree."
She could see that Qiao Qingzhu was very aloof, even cold. Only when she mentioned the actor Chen Huaxing did her eyes show some fluctuation.
Qiao Jiahui, "Yes, not only my third sister will not agree, my eldest sister and second sister will not agree either."
"So, my dad was just thinking about it, no one helped him achieve it."
Using three daughters to consolidate marriages is Qiao Guangzheng's usual tactic.
Or it can be said that this is the most commonly used method in Hong Kong, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with it.
Exchanging interests and maximizing benefits are one of the criteria for successful people.
If you can't even do this, you are really not worthy of being the leader.
Jiang Meishu paced around the room for a while before she slowly said, "Then we can't leave."
She knew that Liang Qiurun came here with ambitions. He wanted to get in touch with Qiao Guangzheng and raise his vision and status.
So she couldn't leave at this time.
She knew Liang Qiurun and knew he would not do anything to betray her.
So, Jiang Meishu wanted to take a gamble and said, "I want to stay here first."
Qiao Jiahui gave a thumbs up and said, "You're right to stay here. As the New Year approaches, many Hong Kong bigwigs will come to our house. We can get to know each other then."
Jiang Meishu nodded, of course she knew it.
The next morning, Liang Qiurun woke up and Jiang Meishu briefly told him what happened yesterday.
As soon as these words fell, Liang Qiurun frowned, "Why would Brother Qiao do such a thing?"
He was doubtful, but he did not mean to disbelieve Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu hummed, "I want to stay. Jiahui also said that the big bosses from Xiangjiang will come to the Qiao family in the next few days. Should we take this opportunity to get to know the servants?"
Liang Qiurun shook his head, "No."
He stood up, put on his clothes, and went straight to the point, "We're leaving today."
"We cannot work together if we do not share the same ideals."
Before he came, he wanted to get to know more upper-class people in Hong Kong, but what Qiao Guangzheng did yesterday had touched his bottom line.
Jiang Meishu and marriage are his bottom line.
Loyalty is even more so.
But Qiao Guangzheng deliberately touched on it, even if it was just a very obscure meaning, which made Liang Qiurun extremely uncomfortable.
Jiang Meishu exclaimed, "But if we leave, what will happen to those people you want to meet? What will happen to your ambitions?"
Liang Qiurun hugged her and said, "Jiang Jiang, when I become successful in the future, these people will naturally compete to get to know me. But now, I am not qualified, and there is no need to let you get to know them."
Liang Qiurun said calmly, "I don't need this either."
Faced with wealth, power and money, he chose Jiang Meishu without any hesitation.
This made Jiang Meishu feel a little bit complicated.
Liang Qiurun was very quick and went to see Qiao Guangzheng in person early in the morning, "Brother Qiao, I'm here to say goodbye."
He still calls him Brother Qiao because Qiao Guangzheng still has some dignity and hasn't done anything so despicable.
Qiao Guangzheng got the news last night that his third daughter did not go in, and the last one to go in was his youngest son.
He sighed at the time, and when Liang Qiurun came to say goodbye, he naturally noticed, "Brother Liang, are you angry about what happened yesterday?"
"If that's the case, I apologize for being inconsiderate."
"You might forgive me?"
Liang Qiurun shook his head, looked directly at the other person, and pretended to be stupid. "What is this matter, Brother Qiao?"
Without waiting for Qiao Guangzheng to answer, he continued, "I came to say goodbye because I can't get used to sleeping in the bed here, and my wife can't either, so we plan to stay in a hotel."
Qiao Guang was stunned for a moment. He was also a smart man, so he immediately changed his tone, "Then how about you come to our house to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve?"
He still wanted to win over Liang Qiurun, but he didn't expect that Liang Qiurun was so loyal to his wife.
This is almost impossible in Hong Kong.
So, he made a bad move and almost lost Liang Qiurun, his capable assistant.
Liang Qiurun smiled and said, "Brother Qiao already entertained us yesterday. I want to spend the next two days traveling around Hong Kong with my wife. We will return on New Year's Eve."
"First, we are used to being together for the New Year. Second, there are a lot of things going on in Hongtai. The longer I delay, the more things will pile up over there."
At this point, Liang Qiurun and Qiao Guangzheng had not yet fallen out, but Qiao Guangzheng could sense that Liang Qiurun had become much more distant than when she first arrived.
Qiao Guangzheng sighed, "Alright then, I'll have someone escort you out."
"Let's go to the Jiuhe Hotel. It's clean and spacious, and there aren't too many twists and turns."
This time, Liang Qiurun did not refuse.
After Liang Qiurun left, Qiao Guangzheng stood there for a while. He rubbed his brows and said, "Lao Kan, you played a bad move for me."
"This time, Liang Qiurun was forced to run away."
Uncle Kan is Qiao Guangzheng's military advisor, which is something no one knows.
Uncle Kan didn't expect Liang Qiurun to be so decisive. After discovering their intentions, he actually left directly.
Uncle Kan was also confused, "Do mainland Chinese men love their wives this much?"
"If this happened in Hong Kong, it would be impossible."
No man in Hong Kong can refuse the opportunity to move up, not to mention that there is a beautiful woman with a strong family background who throws herself into his arms.
This was rejected?
Qiao Guangzheng raised his hand and hit him, his tone regretful, "I really shouldn't have listened to you."
Uncle Kan slapped himself twice and said, "Then I'll go find Liang Qiurun again?"
"never mind."
Qiao Guang was sitting in a chair somewhat dejectedly. "Forget it."
"It's too late to say anything now."
Before he could finish his words, Qiao Jiahui rushed in and said, "What a good thing you did! Knowing that my brother Qiu Run was married, you still introduced my third sister to deliver the hangover soup. Dad, what on earth do you want to do?"
Qiao Guangzheng was already very unhappy that Qiao Jiahui came in without knocking, and he became even more unhappy when he heard his question.
"What should I do? You are not up to the task. I can't choose my own son, so I can only choose a capable man to be my son-in-law. Qiao Jiahui, you are so noble and disdainful. Tell me, given the current situation of the Qiao family, if I die, can you calm down and protect me?"
,
Qiao Jiahui suddenly stopped talking, his face flushed, "That can't be done."
"That's so unkind. You're so unkind."
He just kept repeating these few words over and over again.
Qiao Guangzheng stood up and looked at him coldly, "Can being kind earn you a living? Qiao Jiahui, if you want to survive in Hong Kong, the first thing you need to do is be ruthless."
"If you can't do this, you don't deserve to be part of our Qiao family."
Qiao Guangzheng could admit that he was wrong in front of Liang Qiurun and Uncle Kan, but he would never admit that he was wrong in front of his useless son.
Qiao Jiahui was struck by lightning when he heard this. His face flushed red and he trembled with anger. "Then don't be one."
"Do you think I want to be a member of the Qiao family?"
He slammed the door and left. "What a filthy place full of snakes and rats."
"I won't come back even if you beg me!"
He just ran away like that.
Qiao's mother tried to stop them but failed and could only keep calling Jiahui, Jiahui.
Unfortunately, Qiao Jiahui acted as if he didn’t hear anything and chose to be deaf.
Outside.
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun packed up their things and were about to leave when Qiao Jiahui ran over, sweating profusely, "Can you take me with you?"
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun were still a little confused.
Qiao Jiahui turned around and snorted at the Qiao family. As if to pledge his loyalty, he spoke rapidly to Liang Qiurun, "I know all the profitable businesses of the Qiao family."
His eyes flashed with anger, "Brother Qiurun, how about you become the head of the Qiao family!"
Liang Qiurun, “…………”
