Mrs. Zhao, who was helped up by the servant, saw her son's eyes and hurriedly asked, "Husband, what's going on?" ”

"Hmph, you're embarrassed to ask, it's all your good son, you should ask him well, how did he offend the president of QK, Lao Tzu's business will be ruined by him." Zhao Qiang scolded Mrs. Zhao with a slap in the face, and then walked out.

As he walked, he said, "Butler, prepare me a few gifts that the young girl likes, and I'll go wash up first." ”

"What?! Which young woman are you going to meet? Mrs. Zhao didn't listen to Zhao Qiang's previous words at all, only heard a few words from the young girl, and hurriedly followed.

Zhao Qiang was pulled back by her, and the expression on his face became even more angry: "Your son, yesterday for a welfare home, he actually gave QK face, the president of their group dared to do it, is our group very rich, in front of QK, a listed company in country M, it is nothing at all." ”

Saying that, he was even more angry, and he wanted to do it again, he led Zhao Zong's collar: "You bastard, hurry up and wash me, and then go with me to apologize." ”

Zhao Zong was frightened by the fierce light in Zhao Qiang's eyes, and his voice trembled: "Okay, Dad...... I'll go now. ”

Zhao Qiang stared straight at him, then let go of his hand, threw him to the ground, and then turned away.

Zhao Zong, whose face was bruised, sat on the ground, his face covered with frightened sweat.

Mrs. Zhao sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and asked Zhao Zong to do what his father said, and then motioned for Zhao Qiang's secretary to come out with her.

"What the hell is going on? Why did Lao Zhao suddenly get so angry. Mrs. Zhao's well-maintained face had a rare serious expression.

The secretary whispered, "Madam, here's the thing......" The secretary briefly explained the matter.

After listening to this, Mrs. Zhao's face was full of hatred for iron and steel, and she counted Zhao Zong: "This is not a weapon, and I don't know how to find out the identity of the other party first." ”

"So it's a little troublesome now, at eleven o'clock at noon today, Mr. Zhao will go to meet with Mr. Qiao from QK, and then talk about business, so I will let the housekeeper pick a few suitable gifts." The secretary explained Zhao Qiang's behavior of looking for gifts just now.

"How will the housekeeper know what a woman likes, I'll go find it." Mrs. Zhao arranged for the secretary, and then went downstairs to the warehouse.

……

"Mr. Qiao, hello, hello." Zhao Qiang saw Qiao Airuo and Li Lian coming in one after another, and hurriedly got up from his seat, stretched out his old hand, and wanted to shake hands with Qiao Airuo.

Qiao Airuo didn't have the slightest intention of shaking hands, and smiled: "Hello Mr. Zhao." She sat down on the seat, and then saw that the two fathers and sons of the Zhao family were still standing: "Don't stand, sit, sit." ”

Her tone and movements were very similar to the host of a treat, as if she was the host of this banquet tonight, Zhao Qiang just stiffened his face, and then sat back in his seat with his expression as usual.

Zhao Zong's face was full of resentment, but he remembered what Zhao Qiang had said to him when he came, restrained his expression, and sat down unwillingly.

Qiao Airuo naturally did not miss the expressions of their father and son, but pretended not to know anything, raised the teacup, and drank his tea quietly, without the slightest intention of speaking.

Zhao Qiang motioned to the assistant standing next to him, picked up the gift, and handed it to Qiao Airuo: "Mr. Qiao, today is the first time we have met, this is a small gift that Zhao has prepared for you, and I hope you will accept it." ”

"Mr. Zhao is polite, I came to your tunnel and didn't prepare a gift for you, how can I be embarrassed to accept your gift?" Joe declined.

Zhao Qiang opened one of the boxes, took out the painting in it, and then opened the scroll: "The others are nothing, just some jewelry, and this is the authentic work of Mr. Xia Daoyuan, I got it by chance, the painting is a young woman, which makes me feel very much like Mr. Qiao. ”

A few strokes of a simple ink painting depicts a young girl, who is sitting next to the tea house making tea, the whole person's movements are extremely elegant, and the background next to it is also very simple, but it is just an antique small pavilion, a few pieces of fluttering tulle.

Jo Airuo's eyes fell on the painting, and for some reason, he felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Zhao Qiang saw Qiao Airuo's eyes staring at the painting, and said in his heart, it seems that he did not make a mistake in his move, he put away the painting in his hand and put it back in the box.

Qiao Airuo also followed his movements, came back to his senses, restrained his surprise, and still looked expressionless: "Mr. Zhao, if I guessed correctly, you are here for your company's new project?" ”

Zhao Qiang hurriedly said: "Exactly, I know that my unsuccessful son did something that shouldn't be done yesterday, and I have already cleaned him up fiercely, and I hope that Mr. Qiao can raise his noble hand." ”

Yes, according to the information transferred from Zheng Yan, Qiao Airuo knew that Zhicheng was recently negotiating a business with the Wu Group, and this business would directly affect the development of Zhicheng in the next ten years, and Zhao Qiang's business trip was also due to a large part of this project.

At the same time, Qiao Airuo's side has also mastered the taxes of Zhicheng's side in recent years, and there are obviously unclear points, if this is exposed, then ......

Therefore, Zhao Qiang hurried back from other places to save the situation.

Qiao Airuo deliberately said: "Zhao is always a cheerful person, he must know why I had a conflict with your son yesterday?" ”

"Naturally, the land in the east of the city, although our group has requisitioned it, but my son has done something wrong, how can he treat the old man and children like this, I have already taught him a hard lesson, and I will definitely place the welfare home to ensure that the director will not be embarrassed." Zhao Qiang hurriedly said his remedy.

Qiao Airuo held the teacup, drank tea, and did not answer.

Zhao Qiangqiang palmed and pushed Zhao Zong, who was not speaking on the side: "Why don't you apologize to Mr. Qiao soon?" ”

Zhao Zong looked at Zhao Qiang reluctantly, but was stunned by Zhao Qiang's eyes, so he reluctantly stood up and bowed to Qiao Airuo: "I'm sorry, Qiao ......"

Qiao Airuo raised his hand to interrupt him: "Hey, wait a while, my woman can't afford such a big gift from Mr. Xiao Zhao, didn't Mr. Xiao Zhao say that he wanted to give me a good look yesterday?" ”

Zhao Qiang immediately stood up and gave Zhao Zong a slap, then turned around and gave Qiao Airuo compensation with a smile: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao, it's all my godson who has no way, and I offended Mr. Qiao yesterday." ”

This slap was loud, Zhao Qiang was also ruthless, Qiao Airuo also got the answer he wanted, stood up slowly, and sorted out his coat: "I'm nothing, it's just the children in the welfare home, I've been frightened these days, and I hope that Xiao Zhao can always come to apologize." ”

Is this willing to loosen? Zhao Qiang's face was full of joy, and his face was full of smiles: "Surely, we will go to the welfare home in the afternoon, and I will definitely let my son apologize well." ”

"Okay, then I won't disturb Mr. Zhao and Ling Gongzi to dine, there is still something to do, go first."

Zhao Qiang hurriedly picked up the brocade box pile next to him and wanted to hand it to Qiao Airuo: "Mr. Qiao, you should accept these gifts." ”

Qiao Airuo looked at the dozen or so boxes in his hand, and only took the top picture scroll box: "Since Mr. Zhao is so enthusiastic, thank you very much." However, this one is good. ”

After speaking, she didn't wait for Zhao Qiang's reaction, and walked out directly with Li Lian.

"Qiao ......" Zhao Qiang looked at the back of her leaving and watched her leave.

Seeing Qiao Airuo leaving, Zhao Zong complained to Zhao Qiang indignantly: "Dad, do you really want me to apologize?" ”

Zhao Qiang's wrinkled eyes looked at him, his eyes full of warnings: "Otherwise? ”

Zhao Zong had never seen Zhao Qiang look at him with such eyes, and weakly changed the topic: "I see that this Qiao Airuo is not as powerful as you say, and he looks a little good, but when he sees something valuable, he doesn't accept it the same." ”

"Hmph, you should be glad she accepted it, if she doesn't accept it, I'm worried, and besides, you act carefully for me in the future, don't mess with people and don't know." Zhao Qiang counted him.

"Got it, Dad." Zhao Zong was still reluctant in his tone.

Zhao Qiang looked at him, he was even more angry, and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by the assistant who came in outside, and the assistant came in with a piece of paper and handed it to Zhao Qiang: "Mr. Zhao, this is the check left by Mr. Qiao, saying that it was the money to buy your painting." ”

"What?" Zhao Zong took the check, only to see that there were one million Arabic numerals written on it, and the payment was signed by the three words Qiao Airuo of Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dance.

……

In a cemetery on the outskirts of the city

"Dean Li, you've worked hard these past few days." Qiao Airuo took Dean Li's hand and said gratefully.

Dean Li's face was full of gentle smiles, she looked at the tombstone next to her, and the young and gentle face on it was smiling at them: "It's not hard at all, thank you for bringing Yinyin back, and thank you for doing us a great favor in the welfare home." ”

Lili on the side also nodded, her smile was very gentle, and she stood with the dean, like a grandfather and grandson.

Qiao Airuo responded to Lili's smile and said, "I will come over often in the future, if you have anything, call me at any time." ”

"Okay, you're welcome to come over at any time."

"It's not too early, the people I arranged will send you back." Joe Airuo took out a check from her bag and handed it to Lili: "This is a little bit of my heart, you children can buy some toys and stationery." ”

"This ......," Dean Li obviously wanted to refuse.

Qiao Airuo hurriedly interrupted her: "Okay, I'll leave first, you take care of yourself." ”

As she spoke, she ran to Fan Vera, who was waiting for her in the distance, and before getting into the car, she turned around and waved goodbye to them.

Dean Li and Lili also waved at them and watched their car leave.

Lili and Dean Li looked at each other, both of them looking at the check in their hands, and there were tears in their eyes.
