Rebirth's guilt

Joe's

Qiao Zhishen walked into the hall, looked at the empty sofa, and asked the maid who was doing cleaning beside him, "Where is grandpa?" Seeing him, the maid replied in a low voice: "Master is in the study now, he ordered Let you have something to eat when you come back, he will always be waiting for you in the study."

Qiao Zhishen nodded when he heard the words, and went straight upstairs, while ordering: "Let Mrs. Lan make some porridge, and I'll eat it in the dining room on the second floor." He was indeed a little hungry at the moment, but it was already so late, Eating is not easy to digest, it is better to drink some porridge.

Qiao Zhishen's room was the innermost on the right side of the second floor. Although he hadn't come back for a while, the windows were still cleaned.As soon as the door is opened, one can see a set of extremely large leather sofas. There is a KINGSIZE Italian water bed in front of the sofa against the wall, and two black and white mini bedside tables are placed on both sides.

There is a wooden door the same color as the wall in the upper right corner of the room, which leads to his private study.

Qiao Zhishen threw his coat on the sofa, turned to the left, and entered the bathroom.After a quarter of an hour, he walked out wearing a bath towel.After drying her hair and putting on her clothes, Qiao Zhishen opened the door and walked towards the dining room.

A bowl of porridge with fresh mushrooms and seafood and three dishes of delicate side dishes were still steaming on the dining table, smelling the tempting aroma, Qiao Zhishen sat down and ate it carefully, and soon a small bowl of porridge was down.

While he was washing and eating, Qiao Boyi was reading the newspaper in the study while listening to Qiao He's report. "...Elder Jin's injury is not serious, and he invited Mr. An to a reception in a week's time."

"Well, go down!" Qiao Boyi waved his hand, put away the newspaper and let Qiao He back down.Then he sighed as if remembering something, stood up and walked to the window, looking out the window with some confusion in his eyes.

"Dong dong dong..." After a while, there was a knock on the door. Qiao Boyi came back to his senses and subconsciously said, "Come in!" The door was pushed open, and it was Qiao Zhishen.

"Grandpa!" Qiao Zhishen walked in and stood aside respectfully.

Qiao Boyi was in a trance when he saw his face that resembled his father Qiao Yuan, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. Seeing Qiao Zhishen's puzzled eyes, he coughed as if covering up, and asked, "This time the Burmese How is the harvest of the jade public offering?"

"The wool cost about [-] million. With Mr. Jin's Uncle Yan around, it is unlikely that the bet will fail. But it is not foolproof. I mentioned to you before that I bought a Big Mac. If the wool bet If it collapses, we will suffer heavy losses." Qiao Zhishen knew that Qiao He must have reported it to him long ago, so he said briefly.

"Well," Qiao Boyi sat back on the chair and said lightly, "This is the first time you have developed a project independently since you took over the company, and the board of directors attaches great importance to it. The emerald area was controversial in the company at the beginning, and you know what to do. Let’s do it. When the wool comes back, we’ll start to dissect the stone.”

"Yes!" Qiao Zhishen replied, but he knew in his heart that he hadn't mentioned the important point.Qiao Boyi cared the most about Bianco, but this time he called him back, and even delayed the work of the company because of this, it must be an extremely important matter.

As if he knew what Qiao Zhishen was thinking, Qiao Boyi said flatly: "I called you back this time because the French company TH sent an invitation to cooperate with us."

French TH?Qiao Zhi frowned deeply, and the face of the woman named Priscina Duto flashed in his mind.Qiao Boyi looked at him and continued: "The project they want to cooperate with is Emerald. The board of directors held a meeting as soon as they received the news, and more than half of the shareholders think they can cooperate."

"How to cooperate specifically? Who is the person in charge of TH Jewelry Company? When will the negotiation start?" After listening to Qiao Zhishen, he thought for a while and asked.

Qiao Boyi picked up a stack of documents from the desk, handed them to him, and said, "This is their submission, you should read it first. TH Jewelry Company is similar to Bianco, and it is a family business. Most of the shares are controlled by Du In the hands of the family."

Qiao Zhishen took the document and listened to him while browsing through it roughly. "Olande Duto is the current patriarch of the Duto family. Priscina Duto is his only daughter and will be the heir of TH. She is in charge of this project. I heard that the emerald public market in Myanmar She went too, have you seen her?"

"I've met once." Qiao Zhishen nodded when he heard the words, put down the document in his hand, and said, "There is no need to cooperate. The biggest market for jadeite is in China, in Asia. We have what they have, and we have it ourselves. We have what they don’t, and there’s no need for this kind of nonsensical collaboration. What’s the board’s rationale?”

"Share the risk." Qiao Boyi said: "The raw material of jadeite is all obtained by betting on stones. The risk is too high. The board of directors believes that cooperation can share the risk. Of course, if you are willing to buy rough jade from some stone bettors, the risk will naturally be reduced a lot, but This is not only costly, but also less jadeite can be purchased.”

"What else? If this alone shouldn't be enough to impress them!" Qiao Zhishen smiled sarcastically. He knew the people on the board of directors too well, and he didn't have enough interests to feed them vampires.

"If we accept the cooperation, TH company is willing to share their sales resources in Europe." Qiao Boyi's voice was a little lower, and he was obviously a little moved by this proposal. "The European market has always been dominated by local jewelry companies, and it is difficult for Chinese companies to enter. This is a great opportunity."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. TH's request cannot be as simple as cooperating with Jadeite." Qiao Zhishen looked at Qiao Boyi and said lightly.

Qiao Boyi nodded, glanced at him appreciatively, and said, "There are many famous jewelry companies in Europe, and TH is not top-notch. Olande Duto only has such a daughter, so he will naturally consider her. In fact, he only has one daughter." One condition is that you become his son-in-law."

Qiao Zhishen's mind turned quickly when he heard the words, and asked: "Bianco is not as good as TH at all, why did he choose me? Legris?"

Qiao Boyi's expression turned ugly when he heard the word Legris, but he also had to admit that Olande Duto wanted Qiao Zhishen as his son-in-law precisely because of Legris.

Legris, the surname of Qiao Zhishen's mother, is a very powerful family in Italy.

"Do you want me to be a tool?" Qiao Zhishen felt cold, and looked at Qiao Boyi coldly, his grandfather was already moved.Although he knew that such a day would come, he still felt a little uncomfortable when this day came. Now he seems to be able to understand his father's feelings back then.

Qiao Boyi turned a blind eye to his gaze, and said indifferently: "It's just a family marriage. This is a very normal thing." Qiao Zhishen looked at him silently after hearing the words, turned and left after a while, "Only this is the only thing I won't agree to. .”

Qiao Boyi watched him turn and leave expressionlessly, even though he was full of anger but didn't show it at all, he still closed the door gently and walked away quietly, much better than Qiao Yuan back then.

He seemed to have seen the scene where Qiao Yuan quarreled with him again and again because of the marriage, and finally ran away from home in anger.This time, he won't let it go.

When An Yanqing returned home, she didn't pack anything. She simply took a shower and went to bed.When he was woken up by the doorbell the next day, he was still a little confused and didn't know where he was.

"Wait, here we come!" Wiping his face indiscriminately, An Yanqing walked downstairs to the door and looked at the person on the monitor, takeaway?He didn't bark.Thinking of this, An Yanqing asked, "I didn't order takeaway, did you deliver it by mistake?"

"No, it is indeed Hezhong Yingyue 52. Are you Mr. An Yanqing? This is the lunch that Mr. Qiao Zhishen ordered for you." The boy who delivered the food looked at the address in his hand and asked suspiciously.

The food delivery was really not going well today. First, I was stopped by the security outside the villa area and was not allowed to enter. After finally contacting the customer, I was let in. Then I rang the doorbell for ten minutes outside the door. What a bad luck.

Lunch?How deep is Joe?An Yanqing was a little puzzled when she heard the words, and said, "Wait!" Turning around, she went upstairs and walked into the bedroom, and turned on the cell phone that had been turned off.Not long after, text messages appeared one after another, and the sender was Qiao Zhishen.

An Yanqing took a quick look and found that he really ordered it, so she went down and opened the door.The food delivery person was a young brother of eighteen or nineteen years old, holding a red lacquered wooden box in his hand, and when the door opened, he handed the red lacquered wooden box to An Yanqing.

After An Yanqing signed and watched him leave, she sat on the sofa and read the text message.The warm sun was shining on his body, and only then did he realize that the sun was hanging high outside the window, and when he looked at his watch, it was already twelve o'clock.

After thinking about it, An Yanqing called Qiao Zhishen.

"Hey, are you awake?" Qiao Zhishen's deep voice came from the other end, with a slight smile, which made An Yanqing blush.

"Already awake, are you off work yet? Why did someone bring you lunch?" An Yanqing said while opening the red lacquered wooden box and looking at it.

"It's already off work. I'm on my way to your house. Don't mind if I come to eat!" Qiao Zhishen heard the sound of brakes, horns and voices from time to time, as if he was on the road.

"You're already on your way. If I don't agree, you'll go back?" An Yanqing chuckled, and asked back, smelling the aroma of the food in her nose, her mouth immediately filled with fluid, and her stomach started to growl.

Qiao Zhishen was stunned when he heard the voice from the mobile phone, then laughed again, and said, "I seem to have heard someone's stomach playing an empty city plan, it seems that I have to hurry up, otherwise I won't be able to get a meal gone."

An Yanqing was a little embarrassed at first, but when he said this, she didn't care whether Qiao Zhishen could see it or not, she rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah, I'm starving to death, I'll start eating right now, when you come, I'll just eat it." I can eat what's left of me."

Qiao Zhishen heard the words and said with a sigh: "Hey, is this the legendary saying that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain?"

"Yeah, I'm a villain! Stop talking, come here quickly, or I'm really going to starve to death." An Yanqing swallowed her saliva and said viciously.He has been sleeping since he came back last night. It can be said that he hasn't eaten three meals in a row. He is really hungry.

"Well, I'll be there right away. If you really can't make it, eat first. I don't mind eating your leftovers." Qiao Zhishen said ambiguously, then hung up the phone and started the car wholeheartedly.

An Yanqing's heart moved when he heard the words, he had already sensed Qiao Zhi's deep feelings, and thinking about it now, the conversation between the two just now seemed like flirting.

What am I thinking about, An Yanqing shook his head violently, and put aside the "crazy thoughts" in his mind.After looking at the pajamas on his body, he went upstairs to put his lunch in the dining room, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

After he finished washing and changing his clothes, he came out and arranged the food in the red lacquered wooden box, when the doorbell rang.Knowing that it was Qiao Zhishen who had come, An Yanqing went downstairs and opened the door, and said impatiently: "You are finally here!" Subtext: I can finally eat.

"Didn't you wait long?" Qiao Zhishen walked in after him.When I went upstairs, I saw a small and white dining table with several dishes of delicious food on it.

The exquisite white porcelain bowl is painted with lotus flowers, and there are crystal clear and plump rice in the bowl, which makes people's index fingers move.

"They're all my favorite dishes, you actually remember them." An Yanqing sat down first, looked at the food in front of her and said with a smile.The corner of Qiao Zhishen's mouth curved suspiciously, and he said meaningfully: "I remember everything you like."

An Yanqing paused when she heard the words, laughed, changed the subject, and asked, "Why do you have time to come to me today? You just came back from Myanmar. There should be a lot of things for you to deal with in the company."

"Well," Qiao Zhishen saw that he was not in a hurry to change the subject, and replied, "I'm really busy recently, so I have to take a good rest at noon. By the way, James will contact you when the wool arrives, and I will ask him to arrange a car Send it directly to you. Are you going to rent a warehouse, or put it here directly?"

"Let's just put it in the basement. There is also a utility room downstairs, which can be used to store woolen materials. There is no need to rent another warehouse." An Yanqing has already made arrangements. When the time comes, the utility room in the basement and the first floor will be used Lithology and carving.

The security force in this villa area is good, and there should be no accidents if the wool is left at home.It is too troublesome to rent a warehouse outside, and it cannot guarantee safety.

Qiao Zhishen nodded when he saw that he had made arrangements, and stopped talking, and the two ate quietly.It didn't take long for all the food to be eaten by the two of them. Qiao Zhishen didn't eat much, and An Yanqing ate most of it.

Qiao Zhishen not only had lunch here, but also took a nap in the guest room before driving away.

"I've got something to do in the company recently, I'll be busy. If you have nothing to do, don't go to the company. If you have anything to do, call me first, understand?" An Yanqing sat on the sofa and thought of Qiao Zhishen's instructions when he left, feeling a little uneasy. It seemed that something happened that he didn't know about.
