"Thank you, Dad." Du Qianqian said.

Du Bowen smiled and turned to Zhou Qi: "Regarding the equity issue, I will handle all the documents. You can just sign it when it's convenient for you."

Zhou Qi understood Du Bowen's good intentions and no longer refused. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, thank you, Uncle Du."

Hearing this "Uncle Du", Du Bowen laughed happily: "Okay, but Xiao Zhou, I still like you to call me Brother Du, otherwise I feel old."

The affairs in Dian City came to an end. Since they had decided to leave, they did not delay and immediately booked a flight.

Zhou Qi was going to Hai City, while Du Bowen was going back to Guang Province. They both booked two tickets: Zhou Qi was going with Xing Zheshen, and Du Bowen was booking one for Du Qianqian.

"Dad, you don't have to book a ticket for me."

After Du Qianqian finished speaking, she smiled and said to Zhou Qi: "Please add another ticket. I want to go to Hai City with you."

Going to Haishi? Zhou Qi and Du Bowen were both stunned.

Du Bowen reacted and thought that his daughter wanted to spend more time with Zhou Qi, so he changed the topic on the phone and said:

"Sorry, I just need to book one ticket, first class. Yes, my last name is Du. My ID number is..."

"Sorry, I'll call back later."

Zhou Qi hung up the phone, looked at Du Qianqian and asked, "Do you have anything special to do in Hai City?"

Du Qianqian knew about Qiao Xueying's affairs, but suddenly said she wanted to go to Hai City!

"Why, I can't go? I'm the legal representative of Hualong Teng'ao, and the company's headquarters is in Hai City. As a business partner, is it inappropriate for me to go?"

Du Qianqian explained, and approached Zhou Qi, whispering, "Are you scared?"

Zhou Qi smiled, picked up the phone and booked three tickets!

At noon, they had lunch with Xing Zheshen at the hotel, and Lu Huanian and Lu Ze were also present.

At the dinner table, Xing Zheshen praised Zhou Qi highly, and Lu Huanian also expressed his apologies for the previous gambling incident. But Zhou Qi did not take it to heart.

During the dinner, Zhou Qi and Xing Zheshen got along very well and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

After finishing their meal, the group headed straight to the airport. When they arrived, Shang Baochang and Shang Zizhe were checking in. When they saw Zhou Qi and the others, they greeted each other.

Shang Baochang felt heavy-hearted.

Lu Huanian was the guest he specially invited, but things became awkward because Lu Huanian betrayed him midway.

As for his old friend Du Bowen, their friendship seemed to be overshadowed after this meeting. Zhou Qi's attitude became even more distant.

Shang Baochang forced a smile and walked up to them: "Old Du, Old Xing, Mr. Zhou, Qianqian, are you going back today too?"

This sentence seems a bit redundant. When we met at the airport, the answer was self-evident.

Seeing that no one mentioned him, Lu Huanian naturally remained silent. Xing Lao nodded slightly in response.

It was Du Bowen who broke the silence: "Lao Shang, when you have time, you can come to Guangsheng and have a drink to reminisce about the past. At our age, we should enjoy life."

This sounds like a sincere invitation, but it also implies that there will be no need to contact each other for anything other than reminiscing about the past.

Shang Baochang felt a pang in his heart, and he forced a smile and said, "Okay, Lao Du, I'm about to board the plane as well. Mr. Xing, Mr. Zhou, you're welcome to visit Hangzhou anytime."

He turned his gaze to Zhou Qi and said sincerely: "Mr. Zhou, I want to thank you again, both for the auction and this public sale. Thank you very much!"

"You're welcome."

Zhou Qi chuckled and responded: "Regarding the matter of the raw stone, please keep it confidential, Mr. Shang. This is just luck, and I don't want to attract unnecessary attention."

Not many people at the auction knew his true identity, and Shang Baochang was one of them.

Zhou Qi hoped to avoid any trouble caused by this precious stone. Although his words were polite, they contained a warning.

Shang Baochang nodded: "Mr. Zhou, please rest assured."

He looked at Du Bowen again, gave a bitter smile, then turned and left.

Looking at Shang Baochang's back, Du Bowen felt mixed emotions. After so many years of friendship, it had come to this.

"Mr. Xing, it's time for us to board the plane. Please take care of yourself."

Lu Huanian and his daughter Lu Ze were also preparing to go to Hangzhou. After a brief conversation with Xing Zheshen, they said hello to Zhou Qi and Du Bowen and walked towards the ticket gate.

About 20 minutes later, Zhou Qi and his two companions' flight was about to arrive. Du Bowen's flight would take another half an hour.

"Brother Du, let's go." Zhou Qi said.

"Xiao Zhou, I have two bottles of old wine that I usually don't want to drink. Next time we come to Guangdong, we must taste them together," said Du Bowen.

"Brother Du, I'm afraid those two bottles of good wine won't last long." Zhou Qi replied with a smile.

"Ha ha!"

Du Bowen laughed: "If you weren't busy, I would really like to invite you to drink with me today."

After a round of greetings, Du Bowen watched the three people walk into the boarding gate until their figures disappeared.

Watching the three people's backs gradually walking away, I couldn't help but admire Zhou Qi's unique vision.

When Xing Zheshen first arrived, he was an assistant invited by Liu Zhaoqing, and now he has become what Zhou Qi calls a "little friend."

In just a few days, they not only made huge profits, but also acted as a matchmaker, connecting the Hong Kong City Li family with Lao Fengxiang, a long-established giant in the domestic jewelry industry.

Zhou Qi's social circle is expanding, and the level of the people he meets is getting higher and higher. The speed of all this development is astonishing.

At 5:40 pm that day, the plane landed at Haishi Airport. Xing Zheshen had his own car to pick them up, and when he saw that Zhou Qi and Du Qianqian had no car to pick them up, he warmly invited them to his residence.

Considering Du Qianqian's existence, Zhou Qi declined the good intention, saying that he had property in Hai City and suggested visiting another day.

After briefly discussing the cooperation, the two sides agreed to meet again the day after tomorrow. Xing Zheshen needed to notify Lao Fengxiang first, while Zhou Qi waited for the raw stones to arrive.

After seeing Xing Zheshen off, only Zhou Qi and Du Qianqian were left at the scene.

Du Qianqian looked at Zhou Qi with a hint of doubt, as if wondering why he didn't contact Mr. Qiao to arrange a meeting.

She half-jokingly asked if it was because she was worried that the two of them would have an argument when they met.

Zhou Qi responded with a smile and said that Du Qianqian was overthinking it, and Du Qianqian continued to joke and asked Zhou Qi if he was worried that she or Qiao Xuying would be jealous.

Faced with such a joke, Zhou Qi responded with a witty remark: "Only children answer multiple-choice questions, and I want them all!"

This sentence made Du Qianqian stunned for a moment, and then she understood what Zhou Qi meant - he had special feelings for both of them.

This sudden confession made Du Qianqian's cheeks turn red instantly. She looked at Zhou Qi in surprise, as if confirming whether what she had just heard was true.

Zhou Qi smiled slightly and said jokingly: "Miss Du, you are not scared, are you?"

"What the hell are you doing?"

Du Qianqian pouted and glared at him angrily: "Did you plan all this a long time ago? This won't do. I can't let you succeed so easily."
