121. VIP056 - Banquet appearance
When the two were arguing a little over a glass of red wine, Qiao Mingyu came over, and there was a bewitching man who walked over with him.
Xia Chu had never seen such a man, even more enchanting than a woman, his thick and long eyelashes seemed to draw an eyeliner for his blurred eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly xiangshang, the evil was just right, and his burgundy hair shone brightly under the light, attracting everyone's attention.
Qiao Mingyu and him stopped in front of Qiao Yusen:
"Mind having a chat?"
Qiao Yusen glanced at Xia Chu beside her, her eyes were still on the man's body, like all the people around, Qiao Yusen did not feel jealous, because Xia Chu's gaze was not the same as that of everyone around her, her gaze was scrutinizing, with a little element of inquiry, it seemed that the man in front of her was something she had known earlier, but after too long of staggering, she couldn't remember it anymore.
The man also seemed to notice Xia Chu's gaze, and also cast his eyes on her, deepening the smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Does Madame Joe know me?"
Xia Chu realized his faux pas, retracted his gaze in a little panic, looked at Qiao Yusen, and saw him smile comfortingly at him, so he was relieved.
Xia Chu didn't realize that she had unconsciously cared more and more about Jo Yusen's opinion, whether it was anything else for him or for himself.
Qiao Yusen looked at Qiao Mingyu: "Who is this?" β
"The Bai family in the south of the city, Bai Xiangran." Qiao Mingyu's tone was faintly proud, it seemed that he had already contacted the Bai family's backer.
Hearing the name Bai Xiangran, Xia Chu only felt a little familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere, but she didn't think about it, she has never been a person who likes to force herself, and she will put things that she can't think of will put it back, because one day she will remember it.
The Bai family is a famous family in City A and is known as the first family in City A, while Qiao's Enterprise and X International are emerging enterprises and their strength is far inferior to the Bai family.
However, at that time, Qiao Mingyu's grandfather Qiao Yu Motian was a genius, with Qiao's enterprise rising strongly, developing very fast, and it was precisely for this reason that the Bai family felt a sense of crisis, after several years of planning, the Bai family launched a large-scale vicious acquisition war against the Qiao family, almost overnight, half of the shareholders of Qiao's enterprise turned to the arms of the Bai family.
At the critical moment when the two families were inseparable, Bai Yan, the person in charge of the Bai family at the time, suddenly fell seriously ill, and the Qiao family was ecstatic, and accelerated the pace of anti-takeover, because of this failure, the vitality of the Bai family was greatly damaged, but the Qiao family got a good opportunity for development, expanded vigorously, and achieved today's Qiao enterprise.
But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, although the Bai family is greatly injured, but it is still the leader in the family of City A, especially the transportation industry developed by the city in recent years, which occupies 70% of the domestic transportation industry.
The rise and development of X International is different from these two, X International is like a rainbow born out of thin air, no one can stop it from being gorgeous and brilliant, it can become a well-known aerospace enterprise in the world in just seven years, and the strength and background behind it are not to be underestimated.
Jo Yusen is not worried about what unfavorable conditions the cooperation between the two will cause to X International, he is just curious, how did the two countries, which have always been like old enemies, reach a consensus?
They must have a kind of purpose that they both pursue each other but do not conflict with their interests, otherwise there would not be such a situation.
Bai Xiangran retracted his gaze at Xia Chudu and turned to Qiao Yusen:
"My father is not feeling well, so let me participate in his place, and I hope Mr. Qiao doesn't mind."
Jo Yusen smiled slightly:
"How so? After this time, I will visit him and ask Mr. Bai to take the lead in saying hello on my behalf. β
"Definitely."
Bai Xiangran didn't stay in front of Qiao Yusen for too long, and left alone after saying hello, and Qiao Mingyu seemed to have something to say to Qiao Yusen, and didn't leave with Bai Xiangran.
"Have you already guessed something?"
"Have you done anything shady?"
Qiao Mingyu sneered: "You should know that I went to the UK two days ago, right?" β
Qiao Yusen nodded: "I know, so I still admire you for being able to rush here after getting off the plane." β
"Do you know what I'm going to do?"
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
Qiao Mingyu looked at Qiao Yusen, there was a cold chill in his eyes without a trace of emotion, Xia Chu saw it clearly, but he understood that this was the two of them, or the war between X International and Qiao's family, and she couldn't change anything.
At this time, the beginning of the summer could not have predicted that it would not be long before he ended a cruel duel between you and me.
Qiao Mingyu glanced at Xia Chu, his eyes stayed on her face for a few seconds, as if he wanted to see something clearly, but Zuihou still gave up looking, re-placed his gaze on Qiao Yusen's body, stepped forward, and leaned closer to his ear:
"Your trick of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is really good, but we will have to wait and see how it wins or loses in the future."
Jo Yusen smiled slightly:
"I'm happy to accompany you."
Qiao Mingyu snorted, and his body retreated:
"Take good care of the beginning of summer."
Qiao Yusen knew early on that he liked Xia Chu, and he also knew his arrogant and uninhibited character, so at this moment, Qiao Mingyu showed it in front of him without concealment, he didn't feel too much, he just grabbed Xia Chu's shoulders and looked at him with a smile:
"What does this have to do with you?"
"You'll find out later." After Qiao Mingyu said this, he didn't stay long, and after a meaningful glance at Xia Chu, he left, heading in the same direction as Bai Xiangran just now.
Xia Chu looked at Qiao Mingyu's back with a little emotion, she never told Qiao Yusen what Qiao Mingyu said to herself, at that time she didn't laugh at Qiao Yusen for what she provoked for herself, now it seems that if she doesn't say it, Qiao Yusen will know sooner or later, or sooner or later.
She retracted her thoughts and turned to look at Jo Yusen:
"There's one thing I haven't told you."
Jo Yusen smiled slightly:
"Does Qiao Mingyu like you?"
"You know?" This made Xia Chu a little surprised, did Qiao Mingyu tell him? I still mentioned this to him unintentionally, but I was completely unimpressed.
Seeing what she was thinking, Qiao Yusen sighed slightly in his heart, looked at Xia Chu with a touch of complicated emotions in his eyes, and gently pulled the broken hair on her forehead:
"Of course I do, because I'm also a man, and I know what it means for a man to look at a woman."
Xia Chu had nothing to say about this, after all, she was a woman, and she was a woman who didn't know men very well, so she could only smile, but when she was about to put her attention elsewhere, she suddenly thought of a question that she had been curious about since she knew: What kind of grievances and entanglements are there between him, Qiao Mingyu, and Qiao's family?
"Yu Sen, there is --- between you and Qiao Mingyu"
Before Xia Chu's question could be asked, the hall suddenly burst into warm applause.
In the eyes of everyone, Ji Qingluan walked onto the rostrum of the venue, she raised her hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, took the microphone handed over by Lisa, and said in a hearty voice:
"There are many people here who are partners of X International, there are also friends who have a good relationship with me, and of course, there are some very good peers who have not had the opportunity to cooperate, no matter what our relationship is, as long as we stand here, I will welcome everyone on behalf of X International."
There was a burst of applause from the audience, and Ji Qingluan's words made them feel cordial.
"I know that everyone is looking forward to the ultimate purpose of this banquet at X International, and I think everyone is speculating in their hearts, speculating whether the chairman, who has not appeared in everyone's sight, will appear tonight, and in fact, he has already appeared, and now I invite him to come to the stage to say a few words."
After Ji Qingluan said this, Qiao Yusen smiled and tightened Xia Chu's hand:
"With me?"
"I don't like to be in the limelight, no matter what."
Qiao Yusen raised his eyebrows, and did not force her: "Wait for me here, soon, I will come back with something to say." β
He heard the unfinished words of Xia Chu, which made Xia Chu feel a warm feeling in his heart, and smiled at him and nodded.
Qiao Yusen walked onto the stage indifferently in everyone's expected or unexpected gaze, Ji Qingluan handed him the microphone, and then stepped aside, standing not far away.
Qiao Yusen's eyes gently glanced at everyone present, and said with a smile:
"I'm Jo Yusenβ"
Seeing Qiao Yusen talking eloquently on stage, the corners of Xia Chu's mouth became more and more smiling, she was finally willing to believe at this moment that this was a long-sleeved businessman who was good at dancing, he didn't say too many polite words, except for Ji Qingluan, he didn't even say a word of thanks to the people in the audience.
Because he knows what these people who look at themselves really care about, they only care about you at this time, whether you regard them as friends, whether you can give them the opportunity to make money, and that's it.
Everything else is innocuous nonsense, and 10,000 words can't be exchanged for an order and a contract.
It was at this time that Shao Yunqi walked next to Xia Chu, holding a glass of red wine and looking at Qiao Yusen on the stage with a smile, as if this was the happiest thing for him.
Xia Chu noticed his arrival and glanced at him sideways:
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
Shao Yunqi took a sip of red wine:
"There's not much to say, just a lot of fun."
"Happy what?"
"As a friend, Qiao Yusen will never have to be wronged in one way or another in the future, as a family member, I am very happy to see you happy now."
At the beginning of summer, his movements were sluggish for a second, and then he smiled and asked:
"Am I happy now?"
