Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

"The most important thing is that you have to build your own core team," Zhou Qi emphasized.

Zhou Qi looked at Qiao Xueying and said seriously, "The workload will increase in the future. Not only Lu Jia, you will also need more help. You can start looking for an assistant or secretary."

He continued, "As the general manager of Hualong, you need to have a broader vision. You should not only focus on the stores and the company, but also on the market and the entire industry. We can consider establishing a talent pool exclusively for Hualong."

Qiao Xueying responded with a smile: "Hearing you say that, it feels like I'm listening to the advice of an elder, but it's quite thoughtful, and the way you say it is also very handsome."

She then asked mischievously, "Also, what kind of reward will you give me after the southern market stabilizes?"

Zhou Qi smiled and replied, "How about one million and a half?"

"Are you trying to smack me with money?" Qiao Xuying asked curiously.

"It's quite real." Zhou Qi answered confidently.

Qiao Xueying nodded in agreement, but then reminded: "Okay, but don't forget the previous agreement, you have to fulfill your promise first."

"You mean drinking?" Zhou Qi immediately thought of their agreement.

"That's right." Qiao Xueying confirmed, "We agreed before that once we defeat Hua Ning, you will have a drink with me to celebrate. Although Hua Ning has not completely withdrawn from the market, according to what you said just now, the chances of winning are very high."

"If you refuse now, it means you either don't want to admit it or you don't have the confidence." She said half-jokingly, "Besides, you've given me so many things to do and you're leaving. Isn't having a drink with me a little compensation for me?"

Originally, Zhou Qi planned to go directly to Nanyue, and he had let Jiang Jun go ahead.

During this period, he handed over Qiao Changgui's electrical appliance company to Jiang Jun. Although Jiang Jun had little interest in business, he always felt more at ease when taking him on business trips.

There are two purposes for going to Nanyue: one is to meet Du Qianqian's father, and the other is to visit Duan Mingye, the factory director of Xiaobawang.

I haven't seen this old friend for a long time, but we have been keeping in touch over the phone.

As Xiaobawang's business stabilized, the calls between them became less frequent.

However, considering that Duan Mingye may leave Xiaobawang and establish the BBK brand in the future, Zhou Qi hopes to speed up this process and use his own resources to help BBK rise as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he found it very interesting.

Faced with Qiao Xuying's request, Zhou Qi decided to adjust the schedule, after all, he had promised. He called Jiang Jun and told him that he would arrive in Nanyue a day later, and suggested that Jiang Jun could go to Du Qianqian if he was bored, which also gave the two a chance to be alone.

But he knew that Jiang Jun would most likely not take the initiative to look for Du Qianqian, but would spend time alone in the hotel.

Qiao Xueying tried to persuade Zhou Qi to stay for a few more days, saying that many employees had not had the chance to meet him yet. But she knew that Zhou Qi had made up his mind and was full of confidence in Hualong's development, so he was willing to stay for a while to deal with some unfinished business.

Zhou Qi asked softly, "Where do you want to have a drink? Or the same bar as last time?"

Qiao Xuying knew in her heart that she couldn't let Zhou Qi stay for another day.

A sense of loss welled up in her heart, but more of it was determination. She had thought about this moment for a long time, and her mind had never changed.

With a smile on her face, she said to Zhou Qi, "Why don't you go to my house, my apartment."

"Your home?" Zhou Qi looked at her and felt that this suggestion was a bit inappropriate.

Qiao Xuying did not give him a chance to refuse: "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I will eat you? Besides, I am not afraid as a girl, so why should you, a grown man, be afraid?"

Seeing her insistence, Zhou Qi had no choice but to agree: "Okay, it's settled."

"I'll let you taste my cooking this time." Qiao Xueying said proudly, "This is a unique treatment. If you dare to refuse, I will be very sad."

Her apartment was located in Pudong District. At that time, the Oriental Pearl Tower had not yet been built and the surrounding area was still a shantytown, but high-rise buildings had also begun to appear.

Qiao Xuying rented a small house in one of the buildings.

Looking out the window, there are simple shacks on one side and the vast sea view on the other side. The scenery is very charming.

The room is not big, about 70 square meters, and is decorated warmly and lovely. It exudes the same faint fragrance as Qiao Xuying's, making people feel comfortable.

In the end, Zhou Qi followed Qiao Xuying back to her home.

On the way they stopped by the market and bought some fresh ingredients and prepared food, and of course, various wines.

Beer, red wine, white wine, Qiao Xuying wants to try almost everything.

As soon as they entered the door, Qiao Xuying took Zhou Qi around to visit and asked with a smile: "What do you think? This place is pretty good, right? I was planning to buy it."

Standing by the window and looking at the sea, Zhou Qi nodded: "It's indeed a good place to choose. You have a good vision."

His words were not polite. Although the area did not seem to be well-developed at the moment, he knew that in the future the housing prices here would soar to a level that ordinary people could not afford.

If you buy this house now, you can make a lot of money even if you just leave it alone.

"Yes, I was attracted by this sea view..." Qiao Xuying said, her eyes sparkling with love for the sea, "I feel much better when I can see this kind of scenery every day."

As she spoke, she gently helped Zhou Qi take off his coat, "Just treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite."

"I'll go cook first." She smiled and went into the kitchen.

"I'll go cook and let you taste my cooking." She smiled and turned into the kitchen.

Soon after, there was a noise and he went in to see the kitchen in chaos.

"The tomatoes need to be cut into pieces, but there's no mention of size or shape. Never mind, let's just leave it like this," she said to herself.

Seeing her serious look, Zhou Qi couldn't help but laugh: "Don't you usually cook for yourself?"

Qiao Xuying turned around when she heard the voice, her face flushed. "When I'm alone, I just eat whatever I want. I don't have the energy to cook. This is my first time trying it, but don't worry, I'll follow the recipe and it should be fine."

"I don't doubt your intelligence, but at this rate, the food will probably be cold by the time it's ready." Zhou Qi said as he rolled up his sleeves and took the kitchen knife. "Let me help you."

Following a few sharp cutting sounds, Qiao Xueying looked at Zhou Qi's skillful movements in amazement, "I didn't expect you to be quite good at cooking."

"My wife especially likes the food I cook. Whenever I have time, I will show her my cooking skills." Zhou Qi said with a smile.

"Your wife must be very nice."

"Indeed." When Zhou Qi mentioned his wife, his face was full of gentle smile.

Looking at the tall, handsome and loving image of her husband in front of her, Qiao Xuying felt a complex emotion in her heart.

It's not jealousy, but an indescribable feeling.
