Chapter 1801: Chapter 1799: This Person Is Choo Lan
Everything changed dramatically because Qin Yize extended his hand to him.
So he knew all he needed to do was loyally stay by Qin Yize’s side.
Moreover, the longer he spent time with them, the more he admired the leader of the Qin Family.
And he also knew that meeting Qin Yize was his good fortune.
Many guests come to the Qin Family, coming and going, but not all stay for dinner; some just leave, and Qin Yang handles them.
Although Qin Yang is responsible for this portion of guests, they all know what Qin Yang does, and he is Qin Yize’s right-hand man. Establishing a relationship with Qin Yang is of great benefit to them in the future.
Some people who know Qin Yang couldn’t help but sigh; who would’ve imagined that the once poor lad has grown into someone like this. Indeed, it fulfills the old saying: never underestimate the poor youth.
In the hall, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t expect to see someone she had known for a long time.
She could only say she recognized this person, but couldn’t call them a friend.
That person is Choo Lan.
Choo Family’s elder handed the task of developing the Imperial Capital to her, and she was doing impressively well. They currently have new products launching in cooperation with foreign entities, reportedly thriving, and they are now also enjoying a period of profit, with strong policy support, thus Choo Lan is now also brimming with confidence. Coupled with her good family background and beauty, although she harbors undisclosed intentions for Qin Yize, that remains private and unknown to others, she has many pursuers.
She was accompanied by a handsome and elegant young man today.
Guests are guests, especially during the Spring Festival.
In some sense, Gu Qiaoqiao is the hostess of the family’s main house, so she needs to welcome some female guests from outside, while Shen Manru and others attend to the family members.
After all, it would be too exhausting for Gu Qiaoqiao to do it herself, and of course Qin Yize would not want his wife to be so tired.
Especially today.
She exchanged a smile with Qin Yize, as they weren’t elders, they didn’t need to greet everyone themselves, besides, they had plenty of friends around them.
Soon enough, Choo Lan and the handsome man approached.
Since it was at her own home after all, Gu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, "I didn’t expect to see you in the Imperial Capital."
"I should have visited earlier in the year, but knowing you were busy, I hesitated to disturb." Without waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao to speak, she continued, "Speaking of which, I have met President Qin a few times, though we couldn’t succeed in collaboration, which is a shame."
After all, Choo Lan represents the Choo Family, not equivalent to a smaller family or enterprise that needs to rely on the Qin Group.
She very much wants a partnership with the Qin Group, but if the Qin Group doesn’t accept the olive branch, naturally they’ll set the tone wisely.
It’s unclear why Choo Lan seemed somewhat complacent.
Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at the handsome man, knowing that Choo Lan would not be calm like a chicken, indeed she began speaking again, but this time introduced the man beside her, "This is Mr. Long, the representative of our cooperating partner. I think President Qin should know what we are currently doing. If you’re interested now, Choo Corporation would give you the green light."
Mr. Long subconsciously frowned.
With his keen observation, he could see that there seemed to be some unspeakable conflict between the couple and his companion.
That displeased him.
Choo Lan brought him for a face-to-face visit, why didn’t she formally introduce him? What does it mean? Using him as a shield? If that’s so, he has his pride.
Luckily, Choo Lan may have sensed the situation, formally introducing Mr. Long to Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao.
The following frequent courtesies are unimportant.
After all, it’s just a visit; nothing else might happen. After talking for a while, Choo Lan and Mr. Long took their leave.
Throughout, Gu Qiaoqiao barely said a word.
That’s quite interesting, she thought Choo Lan might pick a fight with her, but evidently, she knows what day it is.
However, at this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao truly cherished the times in Border City.
Whether in the past life or present, once misunderstandings were resolved, the family home in Border City was a happy station for them.
Moreover, the Qin Family holds shares at the Border City Base.
This day went by quickly.
Once finished with cleaning and freshening up, it was already past nine p.m.
No matter how good one’s physical condition is, by this time, Gu Qiaoqiao was exhausted, slouching on the sofa without wanting to move.
At this time, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei also went to rest.
Xiao Bai and White Wolf didn’t go back to Gu Garden.
After all, Gu Garden doesn’t have children; nowhere is as lively and fun as the Qin Family estate.
These two are spiritual animals after all.
Especially Xiao Bai.
Moreover, with these two guarding the kids, Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize are very reassured.
The two chatted casually.
The current Qin Yize was becoming ever more handsome, perhaps due to becoming a father, his aura underwent a slight change.
Previously sitting loftily and untouched, now he had a touch of human warmth like an immortal.
With slender fingers, he gently combed Gu Qiaoqiao’s long hair.
In his eyes and heart, all he saw was his wife’s lazy yet uniquely lovely visage.
Gu Qiaoqiao lazily began, "Ah Ze, what do you think Choo Lan’s visit today meant?"
"I don’t know, but I definitely won’t work with her."
He never cooperates with people of poor character.
Moreover, he always felt that what Choo Lan was doing seemed a bit strange, and that Mr. Long was also like that. Given that he held such coveted technology, why did he choose to work with Choo Lan alone?
According to Qin Yize, Choo Lan doesn’t seem fit for business.
Reportedly, her business dealings had no organization at all; if it weren’t for Choo Family’s elder backing her, Choo Lan would’ve been ostracized by the family long ago.
Nonetheless, Choo Lan happens to be the most educated in Choo Family; the elder has high hopes for her and would naturally support her strongly, resulting in today’s situation.
And Qin Yize already shared his suspicions with Elder Shen.
Surely someone would keep an eye on her.
"Ah Ze, we’ve been away from the base for quite a while." Gu Qiaoqiao spoke slowly.
"Base." Speaking of which, couples really do understand each other, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t specify which base, but Qin Yize immediately knew, "Qiaoqiao, you mean Border City Base, yes, it has been a long time, do you want to go back and take a look?"
He asked very gently.
