That charming lady was Hua Liuli, and the man being held by Hua Liuli was Xu Yuan.
Seeing Zhou Qixi coming, Xu Yuan and Hua Liuli smiled and stepped forward to say hello.
"Why did you come here so early?"
Xu Yuan remembered that he had made an appointment with Zhou Qixi before, but it probably wasn't today.
Zhou Qixi sighed and said, "That's right, our Zhou family has encountered a little trouble recently. Before coming to Beizhou City this time to solve the problem of Langshi Pavilion and Langgu Pavilion.
I also want to go to Hamazuki City..."
Xu Yuan was stunned, "Why are you going to Binyue City?"
Zhou Qixi didn't have any reservations about Xu Yuan, and said directly, "That's right, our Zhou family has always started in the antique industry, especially in the porcelain industry, we are the leader.
But in recent years, the development of the porcelain industry has almost reached its peak, and the gap between each company is narrowing.
The profit of our Zhou family is also declining year by year. As a last resort, we can only seek a breakthrough!"
Xu Yuan nodded slightly, he had heard about this.
Zhou Qixi continued, "My dad did extensive research and invested in an energy company with an old friend. It was in its start-up period and was in urgent need of business sources.
In Binyue City, there happens to be a potential big customer. If we can negotiate, our Zhou family's energy company may be able to rise to the top and fully develop.
By then, our Zhou family will no longer have to be burdened by the porcelain industry..."
Putting your eggs in multiple baskets is indeed a wise idea.
While Zhou Qixi was talking, Zhang Shihao from behind also walked over.
He looked at Xu Yuan with some jealousy and displeasure, and then said to Zhou Qixi, "Qixi, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce me to him?"
Zhou Qixi introduced Xu Yuan and Hua Liuli.
Zhang Shihao's unscrupulous gaze immediately began to look at Hua Liuli's body.
Then, Zhou Qixi also started to introduce Zhang Shihao.
"Master Xu, this Zhang Shihao is a classmate of mine.
The person in charge of the energy company I want to go to Hamazuki City to negotiate with is his cousin. If I take him with me, the probability of success should be higher!"
Zhang Shihao suddenly felt unhappy when he heard Zhou Qixi say that she was just a classmate.
In the circle of rich and young people in the capital, how many people don't know that Zhang Shihao is crazy about pursuing Zhou Qixi?
However, Zhou Qixi had no feelings for him and always treated him calmly.
Even Zhang Shihao didn't even let Zhang Shihao touch his little hands.
Now, in front of outsiders, he directly says that he is a classmate.
Deep down in Zhang Shihao's heart, there was still some unknown anger.
He felt like he was being a licker!
But in order to get Zhou Qixi, he still endured it.
"If you still don't agree to be my girlfriend after I help you get the bidding cooperation for this energy company, then don't blame me for being rude!"
Zhang Shihao glanced at Zhou Qixi with a sinister look, and said viciously in his heart.
Soon, the group of people drove away and rushed to the hotel.
Because Zhou Qixi had to go to Binyue City, Hua Liuli didn't follow him and went straight to Tianhong Auction House.
After Zhou Qixi finishes handling the bidding matters for the energy company in Binyue City, he will go to her.
But right at the door of the hotel, when she got off the bus, Zhou Qixi's feet stumbled, and she was about to fall to the ground.
Zhang Shihao's eyes lit up when he saw it.
Opportunity, isn’t this coming?
He hurried forward and stretched out his hand, trying to support Zhou Qixi.
But what made him angry was...
Zhou Qixi simply bypassed his hand and grabbed Xu Yuan's hand next to her.
"Are you okay?"
Xu Yuan asked with some concern.
"I...I really want to sprain my foot, it hurts a little!"
Zhou Qixi frowned and pouted her mouth slightly, as if she felt a little uncomfortable.
Xu Yuan activated his divine eye, and with a simple sweep, he understood.
"The high heels you were wearing were a bit high, and you used too much force when you got out of the car. In addition, the curb is quite steep, which caused your ankle joint to be slightly misaligned..."
Xu Yuan said.
The next second.
He stepped forward, hugged Princess Zhou Qixi and walked toward the hotel lobby.
Zhou Qixi has never even been in love, so how can she bear the aura of a man so close to her?
Immediately, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't even dare to open his eyes, and shyly buried his head in Xu Yuan's arms.
A pair of jade hands firmly grasped Xu Yuan's waist.
This scene almost made fire burst out of Zhang Shihao's eyes.
"Bitch, why don't you agree to me?
I'm sorry, you've been in love with this pretty boy for a long time, right? Moreover, I proposed to come to Beizhou City with you, but you resisted and wanted me to go back to the capital as soon as possible.
It turns out that you are worried that I will break up the good relationship between you and this pretty boy, and it will affect my ability to continue to be a dog licker for you, right? You stinky green tea..."
Zhang Shihao's eyes can almost spit out fire.
He quickly followed the hotel.
Just happened to see it.
Xu Yuan placed Zhou Qixi on the sofa in the hotel lobby.
Then he half-crouched in front of Zhou Qixi, gently held Zhou Qixi's feet, and slowly took off his high heels.
Not only is Zhou Qixi beautiful, her feet are white and slender, as if they were carved from jade.
The cute pink toes are also painted with lavender nail polish, which adds to the playful charm.
If it weren't for the scary redness and swelling on the ankles, these jade feet would be perfect.
Zhou Qixi's face was so red that she could almost bleed.
My feet were grabbed by a man and he took off his shoes. His breathing became much faster.
"Don't move around. I'm going to use my technique to straighten your dislocated ankle. Then everything will be fine..."
Xu Yuan looked calm and began to stretch his hands towards Zhou Qixi's ankles.
Zhou Qixi's body was sensitive, and Xu Yuan's hand touched the skin of her feet, which almost gave her a feeling of electric shock.
He was huddled on the sofa, his whole body tense.
And this scene.
It fell into the eyes of Zhang Shihao who was rushing in, making him even more angry.
once Upon a time.
He didn't know how many times he fantasized about grabbing Zhou Qixi's feet and playing with them, even desecrating them...
But that's just a thought.
Now, a man did this in front of him.
How could he endure this?
Zhang Shihao rushed over and said in a cold voice, "Zhou Qixi, I changed my mind.
If you want to get the tender from Yuhai Energy Company through my cousin, you have to give me 20 million!"
Zhou Qixi was stunned for a moment.
She actually always knew that Zhang Shihao was interested in her.
But she herself had no feelings for Zhang Shihao, so she explicitly refused many times and never received any gifts from Zhang Shihao.
It has nothing to do with the green tea Zhang Shihao talks about.
Even this time.
Zhang Shihao heard that Zhou Qixi was coming to Binyue City to cooperate with his cousin's Yuhai Energy Company, and he immediately volunteered.
Zhou Qixi was also very happy and invited Zhang Shihao at a price that was twice the market price.
In other words, as long as Zhang Shihao can accomplish this, she will not let Zhang Shihao work in vain and will give him five million as a reward.
Zhang Shihao also agreed.
But Zhou Qixi didn't expect that Zhang Shihao would regret it as soon as he arrived at the hotel where he was staying. The lion opened his mouth and asked for 20 million instead?
You know, five million is more than twice the market price.
If 20 million were given, the Zhou family's plans would be disrupted.
After all, the Zhou family is currently in a critical period.
Seeing Zhou Qixi's dumbfounded look, Zhang Shihao was very proud.
He continued, "Zhou Qixi, if you don't agree, I will leave now.
But you have to think clearly, you are not the only one staring at the bidding list of Yuhai Energy Company in my cousin's hand.
Meng Changtong from the Meng Family in Beijing has contacted me a long time ago, and the price he gave me is much higher than yours.
If I didn't like you, would I go out for a mere five million?"
Zhang Shihao continued, "But now that your body has been touched by another man, you are not worthy of my love at all.
Therefore, the price cannot remain the previous five million, but must become twenty million!"
Zhou Qixi was furious.
The Zhou family has entered the energy industry, and the Meng family in the capital is their biggest competitor.
The previous energy industry in Beijing was almost entirely monopolized by the Meng family in Beijing.
Naturally, they don't want outsiders to come in and get a piece of the pie.
so.
When the Meng family heard that people from the Zhou family were coming to Binyue City to contact Yuhai Energy Company, they also decided to intercept Hu.
They even want to use this to defeat the Zhou family's ambition to enter the energy industry.
It can be regarded as killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Otherwise, in the future, everyone will rush into the energy industry to get a share of the pie, and his position as the dominant player in the energy industry of the Meng family will not be guaranteed.
It was also because of this that the Meng family focused on Zhang Shihao and wanted to poach Zhang Shihao to become their lobbyist.
At that time, the Meng family offered eight million.
However, Zhang Shihao was not only eyeing the three million price difference, he also wanted to use this opportunity to get Zhou Qixi into bed, so he rejected the Meng family.
But now, Zhang Shihao is completely disappointed with Zhou Qixi.
That's why he would go to any lengths to show off his face and ask for an exorbitant price, asking for 20 million!
Zhou Qixi stared at Zhang Shihao and said, "Ask yourself, in the market, this kind of tendering and running relationship, judging from the amount of our order, the price is only two million.
And for the sake of my relationship with my classmates, I gave you five million, are you still not satisfied?"
Zhang Shihao snorted coldly, "It's not about money at all now.
It’s his business!”
Zhang Shihao pointed at Xu Yuan, and then said arrogantly, "But, I am not an unkind person, I can give you a chance.
As long as you stop talking to this guy named Xu from now on, and agree to be my girlfriend and sleep with me tonight.
I can keep the original price, and as long as you give me five million, you can go and negotiate with my cousin about the bidding cooperation with Yuhai Energy Company!"
"But if you don't agree, then only if you give me 20 million can I help you negotiate cooperation.
Otherwise, I will help Meng Changtong, and I will make the energy company just established by your Zhou family declare bankruptcy if it cannot receive even a single project!"
"You...you are shameless!"
Zhou Qixi was so angry that her whole body trembled.
Zhang Shihao smiled coldly, "It seems that you don't want to choose either of these two, then I'll go find Meng Changtong.
Just wait for the Zhou family's energy company to collapse.
Humph, I also know that your Zhou family has invested a lot in this energy company. If this project is aborted before it develops, it will be aborted.
Your Zhou family will definitely suffer heavy losses, and even your old porcelain industry will be affected.
When the time comes, if you are hunted by many former competitors...
It will be difficult for your Zhou family to gain a foothold in the capital!"
After saying that, Zhang Shihao stopped delaying and walked away.
Zhou Qixi was lying on the sofa, her face turned extremely ugly.
If Zhang Shihao really went to help Meng Changtong from the Meng family in the capital.
Then their Zhou family's energy company is really likely to face the risk of bankruptcy.
Xu Yuan listened to their conversation but didn't take it to heart.
When I saw him, the strength in his hands suddenly increased.
There was a very slight click sound.
Zhou Qixi's ankle, which was originally slightly misaligned, immediately healed and no longer hurt at all.
But Zhou Qixi's mood was not good, and she still had a sad face.
Xu Yuan smiled, "What's the hurry? Isn't it just a tender for an energy company?
If Zhang Shihao doesn't go with you, I'll go with you!"
Zhou Qixi glanced at Xu Yuan gratefully, but she didn't have any hope in her heart.
Xu Yuan doesn't understand the energy industry at all, and has no connection with Yuhai Energy Company, so he can't change the outcome of the bidding at all.
And once the Zhou Energy Company loses the election, their situation will immediately become extremely difficult.
on the other hand.
The Zhou family's energy company has just been established, and everything is brand new.
Meng Changtong, on the other hand, is an old man who has been deeply involved in the energy field for decades, and has an extremely rich knowledge reserve and experience in all aspects.
In addition, Zhang Shihao also went to help Meng Chang, taking advantage of the family card between him and his cousin.
There is almost no suspense about the outcome of the bidding.
But Zhou Qixi was very unwilling to give up without a trip to Yuhai Energy Company in Binyue City.
moment.
She and Xu Yuan got on the bus to Binyue City.
Three hours later.
The two people appeared under the Yuhai Energy Company building.
Just about to go in.
A middle-aged man's malicious and sarcastic voice came from the side.
"Hey, isn't this Miss Zhou Qixi from Zhoujia Energy Company?"
A fat middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a big belly came over with a smile.
He is Meng Changtong from the Meng family in the capital.
Standing next to Meng Changtong was Zhang Shihao, who had been separated for several hours.
However, at this moment, Zhang Shihao's eyes were full of coldness and sarcasm when he looked at Xu Yuan and Zhou Qixi.
"It seems that you still haven't given up and want to try your luck here and get the tender from my cousin. You are just wishful thinking..."
Zhang Shihao spoke unceremoniously.
Zhou Qixi looked downcast and full of despair.
really.
She knew very well that it would be extremely difficult to get the tender list under such conditions.
Before, with Zhang Shihao's help, she still had some capital even when facing Meng Changtong.
After all, this is a society of favors. After all, the person in charge of Yuhai Energy Company is also Zhang Shihao's cousin, so he can sell some connections.
"Xu Yuan, how about... let's go!"
Zhou Qixi bit her lip and hesitated to speak.
Today's trip must be a day of humiliation.
It's okay for her to be humiliated.
Now that Xu Yuan is accompanying her, Xu Yuan will be humiliated later.
That's why she wanted to leave.
Meng Changtong clasped his hands behind his back and said with a smile on his face, "Yes, let's go quickly. You, the Zhou family, should just play with mud and make porcelain.
Okay, what kind of energy industry do you want to touch? You are simply seeking death!"
Zhang Shihao also looked at Zhou Qixi with a smile.
"Now, even if you take off your clothes and kneel in front of me with your butt stuck out, I am no longer interested in you.
I still prefer to see your Zhou family... miserable and bankrupt, it makes me even happier!"
Zhou Qixi raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
She held back her tears.
Then he took a deep breath, grabbed Xu Yuan's hand, and walked out.
But Xu Yuan didn't move.
He looked at Zhou Qixi and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes.
Then he said softly, "Who can be sure that the Zhou family will not get this bidding order until the last moment?"
