297 You Can Go to the Next Table
Hong Xia’s tears fell again. Then, she took out a chain from around her neck. There was a purple heart-shaped stone pendant on it. “Auntie Qiao, you gave this to me back then. I’ve been wearing it. Every time I encountered difficulties, I would look at it. Then, I would feel motivated…”
Qiao Zi looked at the crystal pendant in her hand and sighed slightly. “On my 18th birthday, my mother personally polished it and gave it to me. At that time, I had just gone to the United States to work. It was difficult for me to do anything and I would even be discriminated against. However, my mother told me that as long as I put in the effort, I could do anything. Just like this stone, it’s extremely hard. However, if she put in the effort, she could polish it into the shape she wanted�� I gave this to you because I hoped that you could persevere in life. Now, it seems that you’ve done it.”
Hong Xia smiled with tears streaming down her face. “If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be me and our village wouldn’t be where we are now.”
Qiao Zi patted her shoulder. “Alright, it’ll get better in the future.”
“How touching.” Qian Meiqi’s eyes were also red. “Auntie Qiao, you were my idol before. Now, I think I love you even more.”
“Don’t. Although I’m not married, I still like men.” Qiao Zi shrugged.
Everyone froze for a moment, then laughed, and the atmosphere relaxed.
“Aunt, I think I’m redundant.” Qiao Sen sighed.
“So, you can go to the next table.” Qiao Qiao waved her hand.
Seeing that his sister didn’t like him very much, Qiao Sen could only get up and bid farewell to everyone before going to the next table.
The private rooms here were all designed for suites. There was a small hall through the door. On the left was a small room separated by a carved door, and on the right was a large room.
Every time Qiao Zi went out, there were four bodyguards and two assistants following him. They ate in the small room.
In the big room, without Qiao Sen, the girls were completely relaxed. In addition, Qiao Zi did not put on any airs, so they ate, drank, and chatted very happily.
Qiao Zi paid special attention to Hong Xia. She realized that although this child came from a poor background, he was really as Qiao Qiao and Lan had said. She was neither servile nor overbearing, and she was filled with confidence. She couldn’t help but feel happy. This was a motivated child who knew how to be grateful and give back. Such a child should have a bright future.
However, she still had to observe for a while. After all, wealth was charming. She had to see if she could keep her true self.
Kunning Pavilion.
It wasn’t easy for Yuan Dehai to ask Nangong Jue out, so he naturally didn’t dare to be negligent. Not only did he order the best signature dish, but he even ordered a performance.
Not only was Shang Shan Palace good at cooking, but their performance was also good. Moreover, it was very suitable for the environment. For example, two beauties in ancient clothes were dancing with the zither.
The zither music was gentle, and the dance was light and slow, making people feel very comfortable.
However, Nangong Jue was not in the mood to taste delicacies at all, let alone admire the singing and dancing. His mind had long gone next door. However, because the room President Yuan had booked was not bad, he nodded and agreed to a contract.
Yuan Dehai immediately smiled until his fat face turned into a chrysanthemum. This 20 million yuan deal was not big for the Nangong Corporation, but it could go further for Jingrui Chemicals.
“There’s an acquaintance next door. I’ll go greet them.” Nangong Jue was really not in the mood to deal with him. He stood up. “You don’t have to wait for me. I’ll get Young Master Yuan to negotiate with Fang Ming tomorrow.”
