Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

"How did you do so well?" she asked curiously.

Qiao Xuying was wearing refreshing pajamas and exuding a faint fragrance.

Zhou Qi smiled, stroked her waist with one hand, lifted her chin with the other hand, and teased, "Why are you so talkative today?"

Qiao Xueying held Zhou Qi's cheek and gave him a kiss. After a long while, she reluctantly left and looked at him affectionately and said, "Is it sweet?"

"It's quite sweet." Zhou Qi commented.

"Is it just sweet?"

Qiao Xueying's face flushed, and she scolded him with a hint of coquettishness: "Then why are your hands so restless?"

As she spoke, she began to unbutton Zhou Qi's shirt.

Zhou Qi smiled and wanted to kiss her again, but the ringing of the phone interrupted them.

Qiao Xuying pouted, but still picked up the phone and handed it to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi looked at the caller ID, answered the call and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, you missed me so soon?"

"Haha, you kid."

Li Zihong's hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone. He then mentioned that he heard Jiaxin say that Zhou Qi asked ** for help and asked if he had encountered any difficulties.

Seeing this, Qiao Xuying was about to stand up to give Zhou Qi some space, but when she felt Zhou Qi's hand holding her tightly, she relaxed again and leaned her head on his shoulder like a lazy kitten.

While stroking Qiao Xuying's thigh, Zhou Qi explained what had happened to Li Zihong.

After listening to this, Li Zihong felt relieved, thinking that this little trouble was not worth mentioning to Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi asked Uncle Li: "Has the Huo family made any moves recently?"

Uncle Li was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Since the last incident, the Huo family has been quite quiet. Now that you ask, could it be that they are causing you trouble again?"

He then said to himself that this did not sound possible.

If Huo Yongnian really wanted to deal with Zhou Qi, his methods would definitely not be so simple. The small matter of demolishing a few households was just a minor incident.

"It's just a guess of mine."

Zhou Qi explained: "If it's convenient, could you please help keep an eye on the Huo family's movements?"

Considering the location of the Wu family shipyard and past connections, the most likely place for intersection with Zhou Qi is the port city.

In Hong Kong City, the families that had had friction with him were the Tang family and the Huo family.

Now the Tang family has moved out of Hong Kong City because of the acquisition, so the only one left is the Huo family.

It is hard to imagine that the Wu family suddenly took action against Hualong if there was no exchange of interests behind such an action.

It seems reasonable to speculate that he is targeting me in order to get close to the Huo family. However, everything is just speculation now.

"Just leave the investigation of the Huo family to me."

Uncle Li's voice became serious: "If it is really the Huo family who did it, then we have reason to settle the old accounts."

Later, Uncle Li mentioned that there was a project in Jing City that might interest Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi responded with a smile: "You are talking about the piece of land near Wangfujing, Jianan mentioned it to me."

Uncle Li was a little surprised: "You are also interested in that project?"

“It’s really a good investment.”

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I met Jianan in Jing City and chatted with him for a while."

"Jiaxin and I both hope that this project will fall into the hands of Qihui Group."

Uncle Li smiled and said, "We can talk about it in detail next time I go to Beijing."

"Okay, I'll have a drink with you then." Zhou Qi agreed.

The two chatted for a while and then ended the call.

"The Uncle Li on the phone just now...is it Li Zihong?" Qiao Xuying asked curiously.

"Yes."

Zhou Qi nodded, looked at Qiao Xueying's puzzled expression, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You went to Hong Kong City and the relationship became so close?" Qiao Xuying's face was full of curiosity.

Zhou Qi knew he couldn't hide it from her, so he began to tell her about his experiences in Gangcheng.

When Qiao Xueying heard Zhou Qi's words, her eyes widened even more, and she could hardly believe her ears:

"You...you mean you bought the Tang Group, and now it's called Qihui Group?"

"Yes."

Zhou Qi nodded: "The Li family has a cooperative project with Hualong Teng'ao in Guangdong Province, so I asked Qianqian to communicate with Jiaxin.

When the time is right, I will merge Qidong into Hualong. I have just taken over and there is still a lot of work to do. "

Qiao Xueying was slightly startled, then asked: "Wait, you mean, you also 'conquered' the eldest daughter of the Li family?"

"I think the word 'conquer' is not quite right."

Zhou Qi explained: "She is just helping with the management temporarily as a friend."

"Humph, I don't believe it."

Qiao Xueying looked at him and said with sudden enlightenment: "No wonder you stayed in Hong Kong for so long..."

"That won't do." Zhou Qi seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.

"I must make you compensate me for my share."

Qiao Xueying half-jokingly said, "I have to squeeze you hard today."

The next morning, the sunlight gently poured into the room, but Qiao Xuying was still immersed in a sweet dream, snuggling up to Zhou Qi and sleeping soundly.

Zhou Qi wanted to get up quietly so as not to disturb her sweet dream, but when he tried to pull his arm away, Qiao Xuying subconsciously hugged him tighter and slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Zhou Qi, a lazy smile appeared on her face: "When did you wake up?"

"It's been a while."

Zhou Qi replied softly: "You can sleep for a while. I will prepare breakfast."

"No."

Qiao Xueying gently stroked Zhou Qi's cheek: "Why are you so restless again..."

"Didn't we agree on this last night?"

Qiao Xuying joked: "If you do this again, I will have to ask Qianqian to help."

Zhou Qi smiled and said, "I think you are the dishonest person, right?"

"You bad guy." Qiao Xuying scolded.

At the same time, at the Wujia Shipyard, the situation was completely different. It seemed as if it had entered the coldest time of winter.

Due to the Bao family's suppression, all kinds of problems exploded like bombs overnight.

Suppliers demanding payment, partners terminating contracts, and some even threatening to file a lawsuit have pushed the Wujia Shipyard into a desperate situation.

There was also a split within the family, with relatives who held shares eager to withdraw their investment, fearing that they would miss the last chance.

Faced with such a dilemma, Wu Jingren felt helpless.

He did not return home the whole night and locked himself in the office, listening to the noise outside, feeling full of powerlessness.

The quarrels outside continued one after another, as if they would never stop.

People were arguing over their own interests, their faces red, the door was slammed angrily, and every slam hit Wu Jingren's heart hard.

He smoked one cigarette after another, trying to use the smoke to cover up the heaviness in his heart.

Cigarette butts piled up at his feet, but his eyes seemed empty and his thoughts were drifting away.

He should not have stayed in the shipyard because his good-for-nothing son sent a message saying that Zhou Qi would come to discuss old matters.
