2344 Miss Qiao, Are You Free to Join Us?
Qiao Nian was now the most popular newcomer in the independent continent. She was Feng Yu’s disciple and the future dean of the First Research Institute.
All the major factions in the independent continent wanted to build a good relationship with Qiao Nian while she was still young. After Feng Yu retired, Qiao Nian would replace him as the dean of the First Research Institute. They might not be qualified to build a relationship with her then.
Everyone was smart and knew the principle of investing.
Simon was also the President of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance. Businessmen valued profits. He knew how to invest for better returns. Therefore, he was also the most enthusiastic among these forces and wanted to form a friendly relationship with Qiao Nian first.
He didn’t care about his face and was very humble. “Miss Qiao, are you free to join us?”
Ye Shan was already speechless.
Her face was burning and also in great pain.
Fortunately, everyone’s attention was on Simon. No one was looking at her. She felt slightly better. Otherwise, she would have dug a hole and crawled into it.
Qiao Nian had already put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth when he arrived. Now, she said, “I called you here to ask you for a favor. An uncle of mine wants to see you. If it’s convenient for you, you can talk to him first. After you guys finish chatting, I’ll wait for you next door.”
Simon was a little stunned, but he maintained his composure. “Miss Qiao’s uncle?”
Ye Keji was mature and steady. He immediately reached out for a handshake and said to the other party, “Hello, President Simon. I’m Ye Keji from the Ye family.”
Simon shook his hand for a moment, then paused as he remembered. “You’re going to talk to me about that… cooperation, aren’t you? This matter…”
Before Ye Keji could speak…
Old Master Ye interrupted very seriously, “President Simon, I hope that our two sides are serious about cooperation in the future. You can listen to our conditions first. We can discuss it slowly.”
Simon was also a smart person. He wanted to befriend Qiao Nian, but he was not a brainless bootlicker.
The Ye family’s business in the independent continent was not small. This time, the cooperation they proposed to the Chamber of Commerce Alliance was also a relatively big matter.
He did not reply to Ye Lan at first because he wanted to leave her hanging and leave her anxious to get better terms later. This was also a common method of business negotiation.
Since the other party had pointed out that he did not have to give in for the sake of the First Research Institute, Simon’s expression softened a little. He nodded and extended his hand to invite him with a serious expression. “Mr. Ye, this cooperation involves business secrets. Let’s talk at another place.”
He then said to the girl, “Miss Qiao, I think this meeting will take a long time. Why don’t we arrange another time?”
“No problem,” the girl agreed readily.
Relieved, Simon said to Ye Keji, “Mr. Ye, please.”
Ye Keji informed Old Master Ye before leaving with Simon.
Ye Wangchuan put down his chopsticks and elegantly wiped his hands. Then, he stood up and said to the Old Master and Ye Lan, “Grandpa, we’ve eaten. We’ll leave first.”
Old Master Ye wanted Qiao Nian to stay for a while longer.
Ye Wangchuan saw through his thoughts gently and said, “She’s been busy for the entire day. It’s getting late. I’ll bring her back to sleep.”
Old Master Ye was ashamed and immediately regretted inviting her to eat. No longer intending to ask her to stay, he only nodded. “I’ll get the chauffeur to send you back.”
