The second manager also hastily responded with a few affirmatives, admitting that the big boss had thought things through well, and Wu Xirui hadn’t mentioned how much of a share he wanted.
If he wanted seventy percent when the time came, and Wonderful Hall received only thirty percent, then this would be a losing deal.
The preliminary plan was set, and as the second manager was about to hang up the phone, Qiao Jing suddenly thought of something and asked a question.
“Which company wants to cooperate with us?”
“SA Overseas Group.”
After saying this, the second manager also glanced at the tightly closed door of the VIP room.
...
When Qiao Jing heard this, she was somewhat surprised. Wasn’t this Wu Xirui’s company? Why did they suddenly want to cooperate with Wonderful Hall?
Could it be because the last cooperation hadn’t worked out, he wanted to negotiate another?
The call was then disconnected, and as Qiao Jing was thinking this, the second manager came down from the second floor with Wu Xirui.
When Wu Xirui saw Qiao Jing, a flicker of surprise passed through his eyes. He had come to discuss cooperation, and she was just downstairs? Was this a coincidence?
“What are you doing at Wonderful Hall? Are you here for the clinic?”
Qiao Jing nodded, her emotions steady, “Yes.”
She was sitting right there; what else would she be doing if not seeing patients?
“I’ve come here to talk business.”
As Wu Xirui said this, his gaze lingered on Qiao Jing’s face for a few seconds, trying to discern something from her expression.
But Qiao Jing’s expression was as indifferent as usual.
Wu Xirui thought carefully, remembering the auction where Qiao Jing had spent a huge amount of money on that painting alone, a fact about which he had always been suspicious, having sent people to investigate but without finding any clues, and not knowing how she had so much money.
Moreover, his myocardial ischemia, despite having access to the world-leading medical technologies in the United States, couldn’t be cured.
While abroad, he had heard of the renowned Divine Doctor Jing in his own country, yet he had never had the opportunity to meet her.
Divine Doctor Jing was elusive and unconventional, rarely seen and seldom accepting invitations, so he also hadn’t managed to invite her to treat his condition.
But Qiao Jing could treat his illness—could she be connected to Divine Doctor Jing, or even, could she be Divine Doctor Jing herself?!
Wu Xirui thought and felt it unlikely, looking at Qiao Jing’s youthfully clear face, barely in her early twenties.
Divine Doctor Jing, highly respected and skilled, and internationally renowned—how could she be so young?
But from the second manager’s reaction, he could tell that Wonderful Hall definitely had ties to Divine Doctor Jing, but as to what those ties were, it remained unknown.
“Oh.”
Qiao Jing didn’t seem to care much, withdrawing her gaze from Wu Xirui and looking down at the medical book on her table.
“Since you’re here, I won’t leave for my lunch break, it saves you the trip to my company for a check-up, you can just look at it here.”
Wu Xirui sat in front of Qiao Jing, his long, narrow eyes intently fixed on her.
Seeing that Qiao Jing was about to see a patient, the second manager didn’t disturb them anymore.
Qiao Jing exhaled softly a single word, “Okay.”
Since the lunch break was rather idle, Qiao Jing closed her medical book, preparing to check Wu Xirui’s pulse then and there.
Wu Xirui voluntarily rolled up his sleeves to his forearms and extended his arm towards Qiao Jing.
His affectionate eyes, full of emotion, steadfastly gazed at Qiao Jing, unable to tear away; such a look could have bewitched any ordinary woman.
Qiao Jing reached for Wu Xirui’s pulse, her gaze direct and unflinching; she showed no reaction.
Her face remained impassive, untouched by Wu Xirui’s captivating eyes, her heart still without a ripple.
Wu Xirui slightly narrowed his eyes, unblinkingly staring at Qiao Jing, the corners of his eyes naturally enchanting.
However, in front of him was Qiao Jing, who could remain unflustered no matter what.
Seeing that Qiao Jing wasn’t reacting, Wu Xirui couldn’t help but start a conversation.
“How is it? A lot better than before, right? I haven’t smoked recently.”
Qiao Jing answered, “Yeah, I’m feeling a bit better.”
Wu Xirui revealed a satisfied smile.
“So, is there any reward?”
Qiao Jing gave Wu Xirui a blank look speechlessly.
“Your body is your own; not smoking is a wise choice, not a bargaining chip for you to get benefits from me.”
Wu Xirui curled the corner of his lips, Qiao Jing’s response was as he expected. He leaned in a bit closer, speaking in a tone laced with regret.
“Alright then.”
Lou Xinrou, who had just returned from buying a cup of milk tea outside, witnessed this scene. She quickly took out her phone and snapped a photo of the two.
Looking at the photo of Wu Xirui, whose gaze was laden with sentiment, she couldn’t believe there was nothing going on between him and Qiao Jing!
Using her good looks to flirt around everywhere, how could such a woman be worthy of Brother Pei? Brother Pei definitely didn’t know about this yet!
Lou Xinrou suddenly had an idea and sent the photo to Zhan Qipei.
But if Brother Pei saw it, would he think she was being petty or that she was scheming?
No, she couldn’t let Brother Pei misunderstand her.
Lou Xinrou immediately retracted the message that had been sent less than a minute ago and forwarded it to the small group with Su Manhan and the others, attaching a message.
“Encountered them at Wonderful Hall.”
Su Manhan was the first to see the photo and snorted coldly.
She knew this vixen, Qiao Jing, could never keep herself in check—here she was, finding another man already!
Her son still kept defending Qiao Jing, not allowing anyone to speak a word of criticism.
But it wasn’t her son’s fault, mainly because Qiao Jing was too good at pretending; her son was still in the dark.
One day, I will definitely expose her true colors, make her reveal her foxy tail, and have Qipei kick her out of the house!
“Qiao Jing, this vixen! When no one is watching, she starts flirting with others. It’s a good thing Xinrou came across this, or if other family members had seen it, it would have shamed the Zhan family!”
“Aunt Su, it’s just the two of them in Wonderful Hall now. I saw them as soon as I got back, don’t worry, I won’t send it to anyone else.”
Lou Xinrou added fuel to the fire.
“I think because it was only the two of them in the store, they dare to flirt like this! Wait a minute!”
Su Manhan magnified the photo, squinting her eyes as she scrutinized Wu Xirui’s face repeatedly, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood from anger.
“That man is the one who competed with Qipei for the Wonderful Hall business before! I saw Qiao Jing going to his company a while back.”
“Qipei said she went there to treat someone, but I felt it was impossible. Turns out she really went there to seduce someone! Betraying us all! I wouldn’t accept such a daughter-in-law!”
At that moment, Zhan Nanqing also saw the message. She silently switched to her chat page with Qiao Jing and sent her a message.
“How do you know the boss of SA? He was competing with my brother’s company for business; did you know that?”
At that time, Qiao Jing was treating Wu Xirui and wasn’t looking at her phone, naturally unable to reply to Zhan Nanqing’s message.
Qiao Jing withdrew her hand, packaged some medicinal herbs, and placed them on the table, “Here’s your medicine, take it regularly.”
“A new French restaurant opened in the capital, are you interested in trying it out with me? The chef there is world-renowned, it would be a shame to miss it.”
Wu Xirui picked up his medicine and extended the invitation to Qiao Jing.
Without any hesitation, Qiao Jing declined, “No thanks.”
Wu Xirui wasn’t annoyed, merely commented, “You really are heartless.”
Qiao Jing ignored him and started reading the medical book on the table.
Wu Xirui didn’t linger, taking his medicine as he left Wonderful Hall, but not without leaving a remark.
“If you feel like going, come find me, I’ll take you there.”
Qiao Jing couldn’t be bothered to look at him, focusing intently on the medical book in her hands.
The deputy manager had also brought back a preliminary contract and several printed documents, placing them in front of Qiao Jing.
