Chapter 2692 The Reception Banquet
Qifeng Tower is a very famous club in Yanjing City. Most of the people who come and go here are the famous wealthy daughters and young men of famous families in Yanjing City. The reason why it is called Qifeng Tower is because it is a women's club. Even though there are young men and women from well-known families coming and going, they are just supporting roles.
Of course, these wealthy and wealthy ladies do not have time every day, and not everyone who comes in and out here knows each other. Women are very strange animals. They like to form small groups and have their own small circles, in small groups.
Today's Qifeng Tower is very different from the past. Most of the famous ladies and young men from Yanjing City are here. The parking lot at the door was already filled with all kinds of sports cars, as if it were a car show. And the people who came out of the car were all very elegant. In many novels, the young and wealthy daughters of famous families are described as being very unworthy, with bad looks and unruly tempers. In fact, this is not the case. Hua Xia is a person who attaches great importance to the concept of family status. He has always been influenced by traditional concepts. The larger the family, the more he cares about it. These rich and famous young men and women are well educated and have outstanding temperament. Of course, it can also be said that these people are better at pretending. Even if they hate a person, they can still smile in front of him and will not show it easily.
It’s no wonder, because who among the people who come and go here is not a child of a big family? You may need the other person's help one day in the future. If unpleasantness can be avoided, you will try your best to avoid it. One more friend is better than one more enemy, right?
When Hu Ke and Ye Qian rushed to Qifeng Tower, it was already full of people. Several people were surrounding a girl, saying something with a smile. When they saw Hu Ke coming, the girl in the middle immediately stepped forward to greet her. The rest of the people also followed one after another.
"Ke'er, long time no see. Thank you for coming over to pick me up today." The girl said with a smile on her face.
"Yes, it must have been eleven or twelve years since you went abroad, right?" Hu Ke said, "When did you come back? Why didn't you call me in advance? If they hadn't called me today and said they wanted to I really didn’t know you had returned to China.” Although Hu Ke’s grandfather has passed away and no one from the Hu family is still in the Chinese political arena, the personal connections established by Hu Ke’s grandfather have Still there, no one dares to underestimate Hu Ke. Naturally, although these ladies will not hold Hu Ke in their arms like stars holding the moon, they do not dare to forget her. Besides, Hu Ke has always been very friendly, so naturally, her connections are also very good.
"Eleven years, eight months and sixteen days." The girl said, "I remember it clearly. I had thought about it a long time ago, but I was delayed because of some things. Life abroad is not as good as life at home. "Then, the girl turned to look at Ye Qian next to Hu Ke. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Is it you?"
Ye Qian was also very surprised, he didn't expect to meet her here. This girl is none other than Xu Qing, who was rescued by Ye Qian at the airport that day. "Yeah, I didn't expect us to meet here again." Ye Qian said, "Those people didn't turn around to trouble you after I left that day, right?"
"No." Xu Qing said, "Last time you left in a hurry, and I didn't have time to thank you. It just so happens that since you are here today, you should have a few more drinks and let me express my gratitude."
"Do you know each other?" Hu Ke asked curiously.
"We just met yesterday. If I hadn't had this gentleman's help yesterday, I'm afraid you wouldn't have seen me." Xu Qing said, "Ke'er, who is this to you? Let me introduce you to everyone."
"Oh, this is my husband, Ye Qian." Hu Ke introduced generously.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present could not help but be surprised. Some little sisters began to complain and said: "Ke'er, you are so unkind. When did you get married? How come we don't know? You don't treat us as sisters, do you? It's such a big thing like getting married. Without notifying us.”
With a faint smile, Hu Ke said: "We didn't want to make it too grand, and we weren't in Yanjing City at the time, so we just made an appointment with a few local friends to have a meal together."
"No, no, Ke'er, you are so unkind, I will punish you with a few more drinks today." Several girls shouted.
"I will accept the punishment if I deserve it," Hu Ke said with a slight smile. After a pause, Hu Ke turned to look at Xu Qing and asked: "Qingqing, are you planning to stay in the country for a long time when you return to China, or are you just going home for a visit?"
"It depends on the situation. Now the company's business abroad has basically stabilized, and I don't need to watch it every day." Xu Qing said, "The company's domestic business has shrunk somewhat in recent years, so I will see if there is an opportunity." Develop and develop at home. No matter how good it is outside, it is not as good as your own home." After a pause, Xu Qing continued: "By the way, I heard that you are now working in Haotian Group, right?"
"Yes." Hu Ke said, "I am now the general manager of the Yanjing branch of Haotian Group, responsible for Haotian Group's business in Yanjing City. I am not very familiar with shopping malls, Qingqing, I will rely on you to take care of me in the future. That’s helpful.”
"Ke'er, you are too modest." Xu Qing said, "I heard that Haotian Group is planning to acquire the Xu Group recently, right? Ke'er, our friendship is just a friendship, but I will definitely work hard. Xu Group It’s my grandfather’s life-long effort, and I won’t let others acquire it easily.”
Hu Ke couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "Xu's Group is your company?" Hu Ke was a little surprised. This was something she had not thought of. Although when he was preparing to acquire Xu's Group, Hu Ke was also interested in Xu's Group. An investigation was conducted, but because Xu Qing had been in charge of business there, Hu Ke didn't pay attention at all. Now, when Xu Qing said this, Hu Ke couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that the company he wanted to acquire turned out to be his good sister's company.
After smiling awkwardly, Hu Ke said, "I'm sorry, Qingqing, I didn't know Xu Group was your company."
"It's okay, business competition is a normal thing." Xu Qing said, "Although our relationship as sisters is very good, we are each our own masters now. We must have a minimum of professional ethics. I don't blame you. "
Some sisters beside them looked at the door, and one of them said in surprise: "Why haven't you arrived yet? If it weren't for him today, then this reception banquet would not be perfect."
Xu Qing glanced at the other party in surprise and asked curiously: "Is there anyone else who hasn't come over?"
"Qingqing, don't tell me you don't know? He arranged today's reception banquet." The girl said, "Qingqing, I really envy you. If I could have a boyfriend like him, Then I would be extremely happy. Oh, no, it should be my fiancé. I heard you are getting married soon."
Xu Qing was slightly stunned. Naturally, she knew that the other party was talking about Qin Richao, so she smiled lightly and said nothing. In fact, although she didn't dislike Qin Richao, she couldn't say she had a good impression of him. All this was arranged by her grandfather, and she didn't want to resist. Now she is the only descendant of the Xu family. As long as it can make the Xu family stronger, she will be willing to pay no matter what.
While he was talking, a young man walked in from the door, holding a large bouquet of flowers in his hand. In terms of appearance and temperament, Qin Richao can definitely be regarded as the best, but the cold aura emanating from his eyes makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Most people may not be able to sense it and are easily attracted by his appearance, but Ye Qian can see it at a glance. Moreover, he heard clearly the conversation between Xu Qing and the girl just now. Qin Richao was Xu Qing's fiancé. However, Qin Richao actually wanted to take advantage of Liu Xinyue when he was in Bangzi Kingdom, which made Ye Qian feel more and more that Qin Richao was also very dirty.
Ye Qian didn't have a good impression of Qin Richao, but he didn't want to be his enemy. There's no need for that. Ye Qian's biggest concern now is Zhetian, and Qin Richao doesn't care about him at all. However, when Ye Qian saw a young woman following Qin Richao, Ye Qian couldn't help but froze for a moment, and secretly thought: "Why is she here? Why is she following Qin Richao?"
Qin Richao obviously had a high status in the circle of these ladies and young ladies. Seeing Qin Richao approaching, people gathered around him one after another. Only Ye Qian and Hu Ke stood still and did not leave.
"Husband, look at this..." Hu Ke looked at Ye Qian with some embarrassment and said.
Ye Qian naturally knew what Hu Ke wanted to say. She felt that Xu Qing was her good sister, but now Haotian Group wanted to acquire the Xu Group, which made her a little embarrassed. Ye Qian smiled faintly and said: "Haotian Group's business is very broad now, and it doesn't matter whether it acquires Xu Group or not. You decide for yourself, if you think she is a person worth making friends with." My friend, it’s not a bad thing to give up the acquisition of Xu Group. Just talk to Sister Ran, I believe Sister Ran will understand.”
"Thank you, husband!" Hu Ke glanced at Ye Qian gratefully and said.
Ye Qian smiled faintly and said: "What is our relationship? Isn't it too much to say thank you? However, I didn't expect Qin Richao to be her fiancé. No wonder he would help the Xu Group. Today I sent someone to Haotian Group to provoke me. It just so happened that since I met him, I need to give him a little reminder to prevent him from looking down upon me."
