Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang
Chapter 649: Various Tests
He felt somewhat unconvinced - his father had specifically instructed him to treat Zhou Qi with courtesy, which made him confused and dissatisfied.
Why did the family, including the old man who had long since retired, think so highly of Zhou Qi? Even when he asked his sister on the way here, he could not get an answer.
Li Jiaxin glanced at her brother with a slightly reproachful look, then turned to Zhou Qi and smiled apologetically: "This is a car specially arranged by the old man. Not many people can get on it."
Her words were simple and clear, but they conveyed an important message: the Li family attached great importance to Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi nodded in gratitude, understanding the respect given to him by the Li family.
"Then I have to thank you very much, old man." Zhou Qi said, feeling the weight behind this courtesy.
"Let's wait until you meet the old man in person." Li Jiaxin said with a smile, hinting at the upcoming meeting.
At this moment, Li Jianan suddenly interrupted: "Okay, the person has been received, my mission is completed, I'm leaving first!"
Hearing this, Li Jiaxin frowned. Her brother's behavior was obviously not in accordance with etiquette. How could the guests save face if he did this?
"and many more."
Li Jiaxin's voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable authority: "The old man is going to host a banquet for Mr. Zhou tonight, how can you be absent?"
There was obvious dissatisfaction in her words, and she obviously thought her brother's behavior was very inappropriate.
There are some things that Li Jiaxin will not say directly, even to her own brother.
Her brother is a bit unreliable. He hangs out with a bunch of dubious friends all day long, never does anything serious, and never keeps his mouth shut.
It was also because of this that his father Li Zihong had specifically instructed not to tell him the truth of the matter.
The Li family actually values Zhou Qi very much. His ability to predict the stock market once amazed them.
The reason Zhou Qi came to Hong Kong this time was because of a market opportunity he mentioned. If this opportunity proves to be true, then Zhou Qi will play a vital role in the future development of the Li family.
Therefore, it is particularly important to establish a good relationship with Zhou Qi.
But Li Jianan didn't seem to understand this and his actions were confusing.
In desperation, they could only ask the elders in the family to restrain him.
"Oh, it's just a meal. When can't we eat? I have to go first. We made an appointment in advance. Can you explain it to me? I'm leaving first."
After saying this, Li Jianan waved and left.
Li Jiaxin felt powerless as she watched her brother leave. Even if she didn't know the whole situation, she should have seen the importance of the matter.
Forget it, I'm too lazy to care about him anymore. She turned her attention to Zhou Qi, politely invited him to get in the car, and sat behind him.
Even though they were seated apart, Zhou Qi could still smell the faint fragrance emanating from her, which was fresh and pleasant.
After the car started, Li Jiaxin said with a hint of apology: "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, my brother is always self-centered, please don't take it to heart."
"It's ok."
Zhou Qi smiled and replied: "I think your brother is quite nice to me."
Li Jiaxin blinked in confusion, not understanding how he could see that.
"Why do you say that?" she asked.
Zhou Qi smiled and said half-jokingly:
"As a relative of my sister, you let her stay alone in the car with a relatively unfamiliar man, giving me the opportunity to communicate. If you don't have a good impression of me, what else could it be?"
Hearing this, Li Jiaxin smiled, knowing that Zhou Qi was subtly pointing out that Li Jianan lacked a sense of responsibility.
"Do you think this has a special meaning?"
There was a hint of teasing in her voice, and her body moved slightly closer to Zhou Qi. As she got closer, the fragrance became stronger and filled the air between them.
A trace of skin was faintly visible between the collar, but Zhou Qi knew that as long as his gaze lingered for a moment, Li Jiaxin would immediately notice and retract this unintentional exposure.
At this moment, she seemed to be teasing him lightly, whether it was out of temptation or other purposes, it was obviously not her intention to cause anything.
Zhou Qi looked directly into Li Jiaxin's eyes, not letting his gaze cross the line at all. He smiled slightly and jokingly said, "It seems that I misunderstood. It's not that you trust me, but that you set a test for me."
"It's a little late for you to understand. Do you feel uneasy?" Li Jiaxin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"I'm not uneasy, but I might struggle a little." Zhou Qi responded.
Hearing the word "struggle", Li Jiaxin couldn't help but laugh. Then she stopped teasing and adjusted her posture to sit up straight.
In her eyes, Zhou Qi was indeed different. Ever since she had seen his insight into the stock market, she had become curious about this man and wanted to know how he was different from ordinary people.
So she took this opportunity to test it out gently.
She was very confident about her appearance, and she could usually easily detect the reactions of men. However, she could not find a single distracting thought in Zhou Qi's eyes, which made her respect him even more.
After a moment, Zhou Qi looked out the window and said, "The economy of Hong Kong City is really prosperous. If I have the chance, I would like to go around and take a look."
This was also one of the purposes of his visit. He had been to Hong Kong before, but that was a memory many years later. Now he knew more about the city through the news.
Considering real estate investment, he hopes to inspect it in person.
"no problem."
Li Jiaxin smiled and replied: "As the host, we will do our best to meet your needs. I can be your tour guide during the day, and at night I can also let my brother take you to some places that men like."
Zhou Qi was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
This meeting gave him a completely different feeling from the previous one. The last time they met in a hotel in the mainland, they were just a few jokes. Could it be that he had left such a deep impression on her?
He soon realized that, both just now and now, Li Jiaxin was testing him in her own way.
As for the reason, it was clear as day. The Li family wanted to get to know the people they were working with better, so they naturally set up various tests.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the car was relaxed. The two avoided the heavy topic of the Guangdong Province project and chatted casually, trying to make the journey more pleasant.
Zhou Qi's eyes inadvertently fell on a road sign - Blue Water Bay, the iconic wealthy area of this port city.
Although he had been here before, the scene before him was very different from what he remembered.
The houses here don't look as luxurious as imagined, and the roads seem a bit narrow.
But Zhou Qi knew that every inch of land here was priceless, especially these private sea view residences, which were surrounded by nature and had beautiful scenery. They were a rare quiet place in the port city.
