Chapter 315: The Four Great Families
At this time, the gentle and sweet voice of the female staff came from the airport radio: "Passengers, due to weather conditions, ** flight delay, it is expected to resume ...... in one hour"
Qiao Du was slightly stunned, his footsteps stopped, how could it be so coincidental, the flight was delayed, not to mention that it was only an hour, even if it was half an hour, these two men could not stay in the same space.
At this time, she couldn't help but regret her decision, she shouldn't have proposed that Fu Jingchao accompany her.
Fu Jingchao looked calm and sat down, a certain distance from Wei Ju, Qiao Du sat beside him for a while, and saw him take out his tablet to read the documents, her work had been compressed almost before yesterday, so she walked around the VIP waiting room with nothing to do.
The VIP lounge is naturally independent, very large, and the view is particularly good, you can see the river view from afar, the river is vast, and the ship on the river is like a leaf floating on the water.
While Qiao Du was looking at the scenery, Fu Jingchao finished processing the documents and sent them out, looking up to find her figure, and just as he wanted to get up, the ringtone of the mobile phone vibrating.
He lowered his eyes and picked it up.
"Boss, yesterday I asked someone to carefully check the information that Jing Shirun said on the road, and the accuracy of what he said was very high."
"Well, what else?"
"Following the clues given by Jing Shirun, I found out how the Aaron group was originally formed, and I dug up a lot of good information, first of all, whoever became the leader of the group was called Aaron, and secondly, the first to create this group was the mysterious four families. At that time, this headquarters was established in the Golden Triangle of Southeast Asia, and it only existed for a year before it disappeared, and no one knew where its headquarters was until then, but it is certain that it did not disappear, it was invisible, hiding in a place that no one knows, and continues to operate this huge drug cartel. ”
"Which four families exactly? Abroad or Abroad? Fu Jingchao asked.
"Only one was found to be from abroad, in Thailand."
"Tell me about it."
Since the boss wants to listen, Yuan Yunxu will naturally say, cough twice to clear his throat, and said extremely cautiously: "That's the case, that...... The news that my people checked back said that one of the four major families is a big family surnamed 'Shi' in the Chinese village in Thailand, and I heard that ...... I heard that, that's ......."
"If you have something to say, don't talk about it!" Fu Jingchao said coldly.
"Yes, yes, I'll say it right away." Yuan Yunxu wiped the sweat from his head: "That's the case, this big family surnamed Shi joined a Chinese son-in-law in the early years, and this son-in-law's surname is Qiao, and his name is Jiangping. ”
Last name Joe?
"Go on." Fu Jingchao's voice was a little tense.
"This Shi family has only one daughter left in this generation, Qiao Jiangping married the daughter of the Shi family and naturally took over the family's business, and within two years, Qiao Jiangping suddenly disappeared, and no one saw him again. According to the last person who saw him, Qiao Jiangping not only took away a large amount of jewelry, but also brought a woman with a big belly, that woman was not the daughter of the Shi family, Qiao Jiangping had great respect for that woman, and she didn't look like a lover or something. ”
Yuan Yunxu didn't say any more, and said tentatively: "That boss, there is only one surnamed Qiao in the whole Li City, who is more famous. The late Old Man Qiao's name is Qiao Yang, do you think it could be related to Old Man Qiao? In order to investigate Chenghao's money laundering before, we checked the bottom of Old Man Qiao, he did go to Southeast Asia when he was young, this is right. About the woman, it is unknown. It can't be Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Qiao didn't go to Southeast Asia with her, and she has been waiting for her husband to come home. ”
"Keep looking, I want to know the final result."
"Yes." Yuan Yunxu thought that the boss would let him put it aside when he encountered the matter surnamed Qiao, but he didn't expect that the boss would have instructions to investigate thoroughly, so he immediately cheered up.
I really didn't expect that I would inadvertently dig up such an old past, if Qiao Jiangping is Qiao Yang, the old man Qiao, then Cheng Hao's money laundering, and Qiao Yunshen is grimace is thing is intriguing.
"There is another thing, it is about Mrs. Qiao, she fell from the upstairs was pushed by Qiao Xinyi, and I also found out the reason, Qiao Xinyi seems to be looking for Mrs. Qiao to ask for something, Mrs. Qiao may not give it, Qiao Xinyi pushed people down to vent her anger."
Fu Jingchao said coldly: "What are you looking for?" Can you find out? ”
"This is not clear, Qiao's house is the person who installed me, it's just that Mrs. Qiao doesn't usually go out of the bedroom, it's very difficult for my people to check closely, what I just told you is the truth that can be found to the greatest extent." Yuan Yunxu scratched his head: "Could it be that Old Man Qiao handed over something to Old Madam Qiao before he died, Qiao Xinyi wanted this thing, so she forced Old Madam Qiao to hand it over......"
Fu Jingchao's inky eyes narrowed: "You're right, it should be this, but you forgot a motive." ”
"Motivation? Boss, do you mean Qiao Xinyi's motives? yes oh, what is the motive, money? Qiao Xinyi is not short of money at the moment, she has Aaron behind her......" Yuan Yunxu's eyes lit up: "Boss, do you mean that Aaron instructed Qiao Xinyi to do it?" Then there is a great chance that Old Man Qiao is Qiao Jiangping. ”
"It's all about evidence, don't be too happy, hurry up and investigate."
"Yes, yes, I will immediately send more people, this time I have to dig three feet into the ground in Thailand and dig out the bottom of Qiao Jiangping." Yuan Yunxu really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, they had been fighting with Aaron for so many years, it was really not easy to have such a big progress. They can't be blamed, it's just that Aaron's organization is too mysterious, everything goes underground, and it's very difficult to dig up something useful every time.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to unraveling the mystery of Aaron's organization, how could he not be taught to be excited.
Yuan Yunxu belongs to the kind of person who is particularly active in his mind when he is excited, and he can say whatever he wants at this time: "How can Old Man Qiao be so good to Qiao Duan, it is for Cheng Hao, and it is for the dock worth hundreds of millions, even if it is a brother's granddaughter, it is not a real granddaughter, it is impossible to be selfless to such a point." As the old saying goes, people don't do anything, the heavens and the earth are destroyed, people are selfish, even if Old Man Qiao has something to be sorry for Qiao Duan's grandfather, he can't be so dedicated, don't hesitate to do it, right? There must be some insider or secret that we don't know......"
This time, Fu Jingchao didn't speak, his eyes were like the sea, surging with an undercurrent that others couldn't understand.
"Morning, an hour is almost over, and you can board the plane."
A sweet aroma penetrated his nose, and Qiao Du walked over with a smile, his small hand encircling his strong arm.
Fu Jingchao put down the phone, put away the anger in his eyes, his eyes were soft, and he touched her head: "Okay." ”
Wei Ju, who was two meters away, got up, packed up his notebook, glanced at the two people who were intimate, and quickly turned away.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed.
Qiao Du and Wei Ju walked out of the VIP passage, and Fu Jingchao had already gone from the other passage to the car outside to wait for her.
The two secretaries who arrived early in the morning came to pick up the plane: "Mr. Qiao, Vice President Wei." ”
Qiao Du smiled, "I have friends waiting for me outside, you first help Vice President Wei carry out the luggage, arrange a car for him, and I will take my friend's car." ”
"Mr. Qiao is really popular, and he still has friends in this city." The two secretaries complimented.
Wei Ju next to him didn't speak.
Qiao Du smiled again, waved at them, and walked away first.
Outside the parking lot, Qiao Du quickly slipped into a car.
Dozens of minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Donglin Satellite TV building.
Before getting out of the car, Qiao Du said to the man next to him, "You really don't want to go down with me?" ”
Fu Jingchao lowered his head and was busy processing the documents: "Well, when will it end?" I'll pick you up. ”
"The TV station said it would take two hours, so you will pick me up at seven o'clock?"
"Okay."
Qiao Du was about to get out of the car, but he always felt that something was missing, and when he saw the man sitting there looking at the document without moving, he pursed his lips and said, "Chao, why don't you look at me?" ”
The man's lips were raised, and his dark eyes turned to stare at her with a fiery gaze: "Or, don't you go down, stay with me, and we'll do something else, huh?" ”
Seeing that he was about to come and catch her, she knew that he was teasing herself, but she was still frightened, and jumped out of the car screaming.
The door slammed shut, and he remained in the position of pounce on her, pausing for five seconds, he withdrew his arm and sat back down, his eyes down and continued to stare at the computer screen, his large hand on the keyboard tapping non-stop.
The two secretaries went to the hotel to put their luggage first, Qiao Du and Wei Ju arrived at the TV station hall, and the staff of the TV station came to greet them, "Hello, Mr. Qiao, hello, Vice President Wei, welcome, you have worked hard all the way, please come with us." ”
Lincoln slowly drove out of the TV building, and the spacious back seat resounded with the slight sound of a man tapping on a keyboard.
Suddenly, his mobile phone vibrate, and a WeChat message came, it was Luo Quan's> Luo Quan rarely sent him any network links, Fu Jingchao squinted his eyes and clicked down, it was the news page of the Donglin Satellite TV website, the title was very attractive: Qiao's beautiful CEO and handsome vice president are about to be interviewed by this station, the sugar will not stop, so stay tuned!
The cold gaze stopped on "Sugar Doesn't Stop", Fu Jingchao immediately made a decision, and said to the driver in the front seat: "Turn around immediately and drive back." ”
The driver heard that his head was big, how to turn around, the big traffic jam in front of him was like constipation, so he resignedly said: "Mr. Fu, it may not work." ”
"Say it again?" The man's voice was as cold as a ghost crawling out of hell.
"I ...... I try my best. The driver was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak anymore.
At the same time, TV stations, studios.
Qiao Dui and Wei Ju, who were wearing makeup, sat on the sofa next to each other under the arrangement of the host, the gaffer was dimming the lights, the lights were bright and dark, Qiao Dui's eyes were a little unbearable, and she turned her head sideways to avoid the changing lights.
"Miss Qiao, do you want your sunglasses to block it first?" Wei Ju said beside him, and took out a pair of sunglasses for her as if he were juggling.
She recognized that it was the sunglasses he was wearing, and was hesitating to take them, as if she was wearing his sunglasses too intimately, especially under the gaze of so many pairs of eyes, if she didn't wear them, her eyes really couldn't stand it, and she couldn't open them a little.
It's really embarrassing to think about it, what she used to be most comfortable with was the lighting on the set or in the studio, because as long as the lights shone on her, she had a mission to play the play well and play the characters, and it had only been more than two months since she filmed, and she seemed to have been separated by two years.
At present, her image on the screen again is no longer actor Qiao Duan, but Qiao Duan, CEO of Qiao's family.
Life is like a play, and drama is like life, I'm afraid that's the truth.
"Miss Qiao, don't worry, this is a neutral model, and it can be worn by both men and women." Wei Ju said softly, and quietly put the sunglasses on her hand.
Qiao Du looked at the sunglasses in his hand and put them on after hesitation.
Sure enough, it was much more comfortable.
Through the lenses, I found that the audience in the audience was as excited as ever, holding their mobile phones and taking pictures of them.
Qiao Twilight noticed that someone in the audience was holding a sign: Twilight Bao will always love you.
Twilight Bao is the name of her fan group, and when she saw this line of kind words, her eyes couldn't help but be hot, and she didn't expect them to come to the scene to support her today.
"Miss Qiao, Mr. Wei, this is the question that the host will ask you later, you take a look at it first, have a psychological preparation, and then you will be able to answer it fluently." The choreographer walked over and handed each of them a manuscript.
Qiao Du nodded, picked it up and looked at it seriously, the first question taught her to be stunned, the question was: "May I ask Miss Qiao, how did you manage to make Qiao's new product launch conference shine in the public eye from being ignored by people at such a young age, and become the most sought-after jewelry brand nowadays." Is there a credit behind this young talent Mr. Wei? ”
Young talents?
Qiao Du is not a person who likes to pick words, her years of acting career have made her extremely sensitive to words, this question seems very normal from beginning to end, but the information emanating from the lines is an indescribable ambiguous atmosphere.
Isn't it a business interview today? When did it change to a love show?
Qiao Du frowned, looking down patiently.
There are five questions in total, and the rest don't have such similar questions, but she is still uncomfortable, what is the TV station going to do?
Qiao Du turned his head and glanced behind him, only then did he see that the name of the interview column had changed, what I told her before was a financial interview, but now it is another comprehensive column of Donglin Satellite TV, the program positioning is to invite the hottest elites and celebrities to conduct interviews, involving business topics, and private emotional topics, in short, it has always been the most topical trump card program of Donglin Satellite TV.
Being able to go to Donglin Satellite TV's highest-rated program as Qiao's CEO can not only promote the brand effect, but also expand the influence of Qiao's jewelry, which is a very important thing for Qiao Dui.
However, she has some opinions about her and Wei Ju's part.
"Go and call the director." Qiao Duan turned his head sideways and said to the secretary who was waiting next to the audience.
The secretary was about to do it, and Wei Ju raised his head from the manuscript, "What's the matter, Miss Qiao?" ”
"Vice President Wei, I don't know what's wrong with you, anyway, I'm weird." Twilight handed him her manuscript.
Wei Ju quickly swept it, first blocked the secretary's footsteps to find the choreographer with his hand, and then persuaded in a low voice: "Miss Qiao, this is a great opportunity to promote Qiao's jewelry!" I think you know better than me about topics and popularity, Qiao's is about to carry out the next round of new product promotion, in this cruel era of market economy, there is no heat, no attention, there is no market. The first new product launch conference you hosted was certainly a great achievement, but you should not forget that the public's enthusiasm for Qiao's jewelry has been declining recently, and the performance report summarized below has continued to decline, which is a fact, at this time you and I can go to Donglin Satellite TV's ace program is equivalent to a free publicity opportunity, this program must not need me to say that you also know, its ratings are ranked first in the same period every time. ”
"But ......"
"Miss Qiao, I know what you're worried about, are you afraid that Fu will always be angry?" Wei Ju observed Qiao Dui's face that was about to speak and stopped, and said righteously: "If I were your man, I should support you unconditionally, you are in charge of such a large group at such a young age, you can imagine how much pressure you have in your heart." At this time, the man who is you should stand behind you and support you, believe in you, take into account the overall situation, instead of doubting you, worrying about this little thing and dragging you back. Qiao's is your hard work to help up, it is easy to fight the country, it is difficult to defend the country, if you want to do the brand for a long time, you have to abide by some market rules. It's okay to play a little bit of sidekick in an interview and create something to entertain, as long as it's not the case. ”
Qiao Dui's heart fluctuated slightly, Wei Ju was reasonable, and every sentence really spoke to her heart.
"Yes...... Is it unfair to you? She said stunned.
Wei Ju smiled instead: "Miss Qiao, I said, it's just a topic hype, it's nothing, besides, I'm a single person, even if I really have something with you, no one will settle accounts with me." ”
Also, he doesn't have a girlfriend, so there shouldn't be any concerns.
Qiao Du nodded, waved his hand at the secretary, and signaled that there was no need to find a director.
Turning their heads to look at the camera facing themselves, the enthusiastic audience in the audience, and the host who was adjusting the microphone wind opposite, everyone was looking forward to the next interview time.
She was so eager to succeed that she was desperate for it.
This is a good platform, as long as the recording is completed and the public has enough expectations for Qiao's and the next season's new product launch, she will be a big step closer to success.
Who once laughed at her for not graduating from high school, only having a junior Chinese certificate, and not being able to provoke Qiao's girder?
Who once poked her backbone and laughed that she could help Qiao's up, relying on her to use the star effect of her friends in the circle?
Who always looks down on her background and keeps scolding her for being a drama......
This kind of everything, she pretends not to care about it on weekdays, but who really knows, she cares very much.
As long as you are a person, you care about your reputation, and as long as you are a person, you care that you will be respected by others, not looked down upon.
Is it wrong for her to want to be upright and gain applause, fame, and respect through her own efforts?
No, she's not wrong, it's the people who look down on her, it's the people who laugh and want to step her into the mud so that she better never gets up.
She won't do what they want.
My life is up to me, not to heaven.
She doesn't believe in fate, she wants to make a career, and she wants to break out of her own sky.
Later, the lights were on, and the host and camera were in place.
The show begins.
According to the consistent style of the show, the host Su Bing introduced the early days of Qiao's jewelry at the beginning, from Qiao Yang opening the first jewelry store to Qiao Yuanjing taking over, and the family moved from Lingzhou to Licheng, and since then it has been smooth all the way, opening branches all over the place, and finally establishing Qiao's Group. Then came the crisis of Qiao's Group, where Qiao Xin Yi was ousted from power and replaced by herself, and began a series of drastic reforms, making her famous in the fashion industry with the crazy jewelry at the first new product launch of the new year......
Qiao Du didn't expect the program team to do enough homework in advance, and talked about the entire Qiao's history step by step, she thought that Su Bing would talk for a while, but she didn't expect Su Bing to suddenly get directly into the topic: "Miss Qiao, as we all know, you used to be an actor, everyone knows that you are very good at acting, and you have won the most famous Golden Deer Award for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress. It can be seen that Miss Qiao, your acting skills are really impeccable. ”
When he said this, many viewers in the audience nodded frequently, and they also liked He Ling played by Qiao Duan in this film very much.
"But Miss Qiao, you suddenly turned around gorgeously, sat in the position of Qiao's CEO overnight, and became a businessman Qiao Du. May I ask Miss Qiao, how did you manage to make Qiao's new product launch a blockbuster and shine in the public eye, becoming the most sought-after jewelry brand nowadays. Is there a credit behind this young talent Mr. Wei? ”
The audience was silent, and countless pairs of eyes stared at her, some curious, some gossiping.
Qiao Duan was calm and calm, and replied with a calm smile: "Deputy Wei is always my assistant, my right-hand man, and I am sure there are many things I can't do without him." As for how you said I did it, I think it can be summed up in one sentence: when you have no way out, you only have to move forward, it is not difficult to do one thing, the difficult thing is to do it seriously. Qiao's is the hard work of three generations of the Qiao family, I am in danger, naturally I dare not smash it in my hands, I must go all out, this is what Qiao's is today. ”
This answer is close to perfect, not only replying to the ambiguous topic between her and Wei Ju, creating space for reverie, but also erecting her image of a brave and decisive professional woman.
It's not easy.
This is the positive energy that needs to be transmitted in the current society.
There was a spontaneous applause from the audience.
Su Bing was also quite satisfied with Qiao Dui's smart response, the column won the ratings, and they Qiao Shi also won countless eyeballs, which was a win-win opportunity.
Su Bing smiled: "I can't see that Miss Qiao is so capable. His eyes turned to Wei Ju: "Vice President Wei, everyone knows that you are the fifth son of Qimeng Group, and it is rumored in the business community that Qimeng Group and Qiao's Group used to be business competitors, why did you become the vice president of Qiao's Group?" ”
Qiao Du knew that the host was asking a question alone, and now it was Wei Ju's turn, and the camera was still facing her, so she kept smiling and listening, and was about to listen to what Wei Ju said, when she suddenly saw a figure in the shadow on the right side of the cameraman, a cold and tall man.
Fu Jingchao inserted one hand into his trouser pocket, and the other big hand with distinct bones casually played with the buttons of his suit jacket, and the figure of Wei An leaned against the wall behind him, and his handsome face was hidden in the shadows like a knife, looking obscure and difficult to identify.
