Chapter 34: Qi Yue: I won’t say who the little ugly one is.
“Why are we going out to eat tonight?”
Qi Yue turned to look at Shen Kuozhi, wondering if there was any special event tonight. If so, his current attire might not be suitable.
“It’s not for socializing, it’s to take you to see a play.”
Shen Kuozhi glanced at Qi Yue out of the corner of his eye. When he noticed Qi Yue staring at him, he smirked slightly.
“Great~”
Since it wasn’t for socializing, Qi Yue didn’t ask any further questions.
If there was no work involved, he didn’t want to waste his brain cells on unnecessary matters.
When they arrived, Qi Yue was surprised to find themselves at a well-known Western restaurant in the capital city.
It had been a while since Qi Yue had been to a Western restaurant; he preferred Chinese cuisine more.
Shen Kuozhi should know his taste.
For some reason, when Qi Yue saw that it was a Western restaurant, he felt a bit disappointed and had some inexplicable emotions.
“Let’s go.”
Shen Kuozhi got out of the car and walked to Qi Yue’s side, saying.
Unexpectedly, once they entered, Shen Kuozhi led them straight to the first floor, all the way to the end where he pushed open the door marked “Staff Only”.
This seemed to be an area only accessible to restaurant staff. Qi Yue didn’t understand why Shen Kuozhi brought him here; wasn’t it just for dinner and conversation?
As Qi Yue puzzled over this, he fell a few steps behind.
Shen Kuozhi noticed Qi Yue wasn’t keeping up and turned back to find him.
Seeing Qi Yue’s puzzled expression, he smiled and joked, “Don’t worry, I won’t sell you.”
“Isn’t it written here?”
Qi Yue pointed to the sign on the door from a distance, uncertainly.
Shen Kuozhi stood still and waited for Qi Yue, saying, “The owner here is my friend, we’re not just idle people.”
Hearing Shen Kuozhi’s explanation, Qi Yue understood.
No wonder Shen Kuozhi was so open about it; there was a connection.
Once inside, instead of the kitchen Qi Yue expected, it was an open corridor, with one side leading to the kitchen and the other likely to other areas.
As soon as they entered, staff guided them to a small private room, which looked similar to the dining booths outside except for the lack of decoration, with only a large screen placed directly in front of the dining table.
Qi Yue was puzzled; did the staff area’s private rooms have a big screen for watching movies or dramas while dining?
If that were the case, no wonder it was marked “Staff Only”; it wouldn’t look good for customers to see it.
In such a large restaurant, there were even private rooms with a KTV atmosphere.
However, when they finished ordering and waited for their food, the staff turned on the screen.
To Qi Yue’s surprise, the face of Qi Weixiong appeared on the large screen.
He almost cried out in shock.
The background on the screen clearly indicated that it was in this restaurant.
The clear image quality, lifelike animation, and the built-in surveillance format once again astonished Qi Yue.
This restaurant had some tricks up its sleeve; they even had surveillance on him!
When Shen Kuozhi saw the screen, he noticed Qi Yue’s dilated pupils and slight smirk, which quickly faded.
“Today, Qi Weixiong came to discuss cooperation with the CEO of Mingkuai Group, regarding the land matter from before.”
Shen Kuozhi chuckled as he explained to Qi Yue. Upon hearing this, Qi Yue understood why Shen Kuozhi had brought him here tonight.
Since it was about the land deal that Qi Weixiong had filmed, Shen Kuozhi must have brought him here to watch the show.
However, Shen Kuozhi really had some skills. Just thinking about it a bit, one could understand Shen Kuozhi’s prowess.
How did Shen Kuozhi know their movements? And how did he happen to come across the restaurant where Qi Weixiong and the CEO of Mingkuai were discussing cooperation?
Qi Yue didn’t delve deeper into it. After all, the connections and power of the Shen family were indeed beyond his reach at the moment, no matter how much he thought about it.
At this point, the mission on the screen was about to start, and the real show was about to begin~
Qi Yue sat in front of the screen, watching Qi Weixiong’s obsequious behavior. It was like he was a completely different person from when he was at the Qi family.
At the Qi family, Qi Weixiong was truly the head of the household. Anyone who dared to oppose him would suffer consequences.
Now, he was bowing and scraping in front of the CEO of Mingkuai, serving tea, pouring water, and lighting cigarettes. It was nauseating to watch.
Wasn’t Qi Weixiong just a toady?
Only someone like Guo Xia, who was only after the Qi family’s wealth, could tolerate it.
Qi Yue took a sip of red wine and watched the show.
After their steaks arrived, the waiter left, leaving only Qi Yue and Shen Kuozhi in the private room.
The room was quiet, except for the flattering voice of Qi Weixiong.
“President Lin, do you have any thoughts on the cooperation between our two companies?”
Mingkuai Group wasn’t considered top-tier in the industry, but for Qi Weixiong, it was a presence he needed to look up to.
And the person who came this time wasn’t the ultimate boss, just an executive manager from Mingkuai Group. But now, he represented the intentions of Mingkuai Group, so they couldn’t afford to be careless.
“Hey, President Qi, don’t be in such a hurry. Let’s eat first and talk while we eat~”
President Lin raised his glass and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Qi Weixiong hurriedly raised his own glass toward President Lin and said, “President Lin is right, haha~ Look at me, being so impatient~ I’ll toast President Lin~”
“Oh, don’t mention it. Let’s just consider today as a friendly gathering, no need to be too formal. Let’s all raise our glasses together, come on~”
In addition to Qi Weixiong and President Lin, several employees from both companies also joined them.
It was boring to talk about contracts with just the two presidents.
Behind Qi Weixiong, his slim and well-dressed female assistant approached President Lin after everyone had toasted, offering him a glass.
“President Lin, I’ve never had the chance to meet you before. Today, I finally get to see you in person. It’s like meeting a star. Let me toast to you, feel free~”
After saying that, she even threw a flirtatious glance at President Lin.
However, President Lin didn’t seem to care at all, just smiled and didn’t even pick up his glass.
“Thank you for your kindness. It’s probably dinner time for everyone now. Let’s eat~”
The female assistant felt embarrassed in front of President Lin and walked away. But what she didn’t know was that this scene was perfectly displayed on the screen.
Qi Yue chuckled briefly.
At first, he thought this female assistant was sent by Qi Weixiong to use seduction tactics, but now it seemed like she was just doing her job for her salary.
Qi Weixiong was truly a failure; he couldn’t manage his family well, and his company was declining.
Serves him right.
The events that followed unfolded just as Qi Yue had expected.
Qi Weixiong’s visit to negotiate cooperation with Mingkuai Group today was purely to give himself a hard time.
Every time they talked about cooperation-related matters, President Lin would start to beat around the bush, clearly indicating that they were not interested in this cooperation project.
The reason Qi Weixiong wanted to pull Mingkuai Group into the cooperation to develop the land worth fifteen billion was mainly because of the relationships behind Mingkuai Group.
Now that the land was in the hands of the Qi Group, no work could be done on it.
The delay in approval was causing them to lose money every day.
Qi Weixiong was getting anxious. Otherwise, with his temperament, he wouldn’t lower himself to talk to people like this today.
Seeing that everyone had finished their meal, Qi Weixiong looked towards President Lin, about to broach the topic of cooperation.
Unexpectedly, President Lin preemptively blocked the words he hadn’t even spoken yet. This left Qi Weixiong feeling uncomfortable, stuck in a difficult situation.
“President Qi~ Thank you very much for your hospitality today. I’ve already reviewed the plans from your side. Regarding this matter of work, we definitely can’t be careless~ Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to my boss and subordinates~”
President Lin still had the same smiling face, but what used to seem friendly and approachable to Qi Weixiong now seemed like a smiling tiger.
But since President Lin had said so, Qi Weixiong couldn’t do anything about it in this matter.
After all, this project wasn’t important enough for Mingkuai Group to pay too much attention to.
Otherwise, Qi Weixiong wouldn’t have stooped so low as to flatter a company manager.
Although Qi Weixiong was itching with hatred inside, he could only smile and say, “Oh~ President Lin, I should be thanking you for honoring us. This is just a small token of appreciation from me. I hope you don’t mind~”
As Qi Weixiong spoke, his female assistant smiled and slightly bent down to hand the red envelope, which had been prepared long ago, to President Lin and his companions.
For anyone from President Lin’s side, Qi Weixiong had prepared generous red envelopes, but for President Lin’s, it was even more substantial, reaching six digits.
However, President Lin didn’t accept it at all. Trying to use money to get close was futile.
“Oh~ President Qi, what are you doing? You’re too polite. We folks from Mingkuai don’t engage in these formalities. You’re insulting me by doing this~”
Finally, President Lin stopped smiling, his tone becoming cold.
Hearing President Lin’s tone, Qi Weixiong’s eyelids twitched.
He had stepped on President Lin’s sore spot!
Qi Weixiong quickly apologized to President Lin and waved to his assistant, saying,
“Ah! President Lin, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for being ignorant. Please don’t blame me, President Lin…”
President Lin rubbed his stomach and his face regained its smile.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. What relationship do President Qi and I have? We’re all good friends, but next time, don’t do this again~”
“Okay, okay, President Lin, I won’t do it again next time~”
Seeing President Lin smile again, Qi Weixiong also smiled along.
“Well, we’ll leave first. Thank you for your hospitality, President Qi.”
After Qi Weixiong smiled and saw off the Mingkuai Group, he specifically smiled and escorted President Lin to his car.
As the car gradually drove away, until it disappeared completely, Qi Weixiong rolled his eyes and spat out angrily.
“Who does he think he is, putting on such airs? Just wait and see how I deal with him in the future!”
