Chapter 79: Working Hard To Make Money For Me
Qiao Zhenguo was so excited that his hands were trembling. Mr. Qin An was the direct disciple of a certain master. He was young and promising. He was also very famous internationally. The companies he worked with were all big names. Now, he was actually considering working together with Qiao Corporation. How could Qiao Zhenguo not be excited?
Perhaps he was too excited, so he did not notice Qiao Xi who was standing by the side. He just minded his own business and escorted Qin An upstairs. Qin An happened to be going upstairs to get some things, so he did not refuse Qiao Zhenguo’s act of ingratiating himself.
Ten minutes later, Qiao Zhenguo and Qin An came down from upstairs. When Qiao Zhenguo saw Qiao Xi and Qiao Rou, who was crying beside her, he was instantly infuriated.
This unfilial daughter, Qiao Xi, had actually run over here to Qiao Corporation to bully Rou Rou! Did she not know that this was not a place where she could come?! Most importantly, Qiao Zhenguo believed that the reason Qin An chose to collaborate with Qiao Corporation was mainly that he saw Qiao Rou’s potential. He thought Qin An only agreed to collaborate with Qiao Corporation because of Qiao Rou.
Now, Qiao Xi actually dared to bully Qiao Rou. What would Mr. Qin An think if he saw this? Qiao Xi, this unfilial daughter, only knew how to trouble him!
He angrily walked forward. Qin An sneered at his back.
…
Qiao Xi waited for a long time, but her third brother did not come down. She found a place to wait where it was cooler there. Right at that moment, a strange voice sounded in her ears.
“Qiao Xi, why are you sitting here? Hurry up and go in. Or are the security guards of Qiao Corporation not letting you in? They’re right in not letting you in. After all, this place isn’t somewhere you can come to.” Xu Mei held Qiao Rou’s arm. The two of them were dressed luxuriously and exquisitely. When Xu Mei spoke to Qiao Xi, her tone was arrogant.
Xu Mei snorted. “Our Rou Rou is still the best. She became the vice president of Qiao Corporation before she even graduated. Some people should know their place. They should open their eyes and take a good look at where they belong. Otherwise, it’d be embarrassing if they were chased out.”
Qiao Xi raised her head.
Qiao Rou could not bear to see this. “Mom, don’t say that. Sister is also a part of the Qiao family. She has a right to this company too… The reason why Sister can’t enter is probably that the security guards aren’t familiar with her.”
Xu Mei sneered. “She simply doesn’t belong here.”
Qiao Rou put on an even more gentle look. “Mom, why don’t we find a teacher for Sister and let her learn how to manage the company? In the future, when Sister has nowhere to go, our company can still take her in.”
Hearing her words, Xu Mei laughed even louder. “Rou Rou, I know you’re kind, but you’re asking me to get a teacher for this good-for-nothing? Aren’t you afraid that she’ll drive the teacher to their grave? Although we’re family, we can’t just ignore the lives of others. It’s better for us to think about that teacher.”
Qiao Rou bit her lip and said in a dilemma, “How about this, then? Sister, don’t just squat here. I’ll bring you around the company first.”
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to Qiao Xi as if she was offering charity. Qiao Xi chuckled. “Thank you for being so responsible and thinking about the company, Sister. You’re right. I won’t be joining the company. I’m not qualified to manage the company anyway, so there’s no need for me to take on any responsibility here.”
When Qiao Rou heard her words, she revealed a satisfied smile. Whatever was said previously was meant to attack Qiao Xi and make her realize that she was not qualified to work in Qiao Corporation.
“Sister, don’t say that. Although the company—”
Before Qiao Rou could finish, she was interrupted by Qiao Xi. “After all, I have 69% of the company’s shares while you don’t have any at all. You have to work so hard to earn money for me. I’m touched.”
Qiao Rou’s face turned pale.
Qiao Xi slowly got up from the floor. “My mother is the founder of Qiao Corporation. Sister, don’t be sad. You can choose to give birth to a good child in your next life so that they won’t be an illegitimate child. They might even be able to inherit a company then.”
The air instantly fell silent.
“Qiao Xi!” Xu Mei roared in exasperation. Was she mocking her for being a useless mistress? This b*tch!
Qiao Rou’s expression changed again and again. The anger and unwillingness in her heart were about to swallow her up. Everything in the Qiao family was clearly hers. Why did Qiao Xi have to come back?! How good would it have been if she had never come back… If she died, would everything in Qiao Corporation belong to her again?
At that moment, she heard the ear-piercing screech of a car braking.
Chapter 80: A Dispute Caused By A Car
Qiao Rou turned around, and her contorted face gradually calmed down. She pretended to be gentle and said, “Sister, I know you’re unwilling… By the way, the Meng family is holding a banquet today. Do you want to go over and take a look? Do you want to take my car?”
Xu Mei sneered. “Rou Rou, are you stupid again? This car is a limited edition. You’re the only one in the Qiao family who has the right to sit in this car. Who does Qiao Xi think she is? Is she worthy of sitting in your car?”
Qiao Xi recognized this car. This was a luxury car that her mother had customized for her when she was still alive!
What did Qiao Rou say…? She was the only one qualified to sit in this car?
Xu Mei looked at Qiao Xi disdainfully. “Don’t think that just because you have a biological mother, you can do anything you want. No matter how capable you are, you need to be alive to enjoy the results. You should be very familiar with this car, right? This is the car your mother left behind. How about it? In the end, it still belongs to our Rou Rou.”
Qiao Rou sighed and looked apologetic. “Sorry, Sister… I was careless just now and forgot about the Qiao family’s rules. You have to take the same car as your status. If it doesn’t match your status, you won’t be able to take it even if someone gives it to you. How about this, Sister? I’ll get another car for you.”
After saying that, she raised her hand and casually pointed. “That car is fine. It matches my sister’s net worth. I’ll go to the Meng family’s banquet and wait for you there.” The car Qiao Rou casually pointed at was an ordinary car. It was worth less than 200,000 yuan.
A car worth 200,000 yuan. Did it really match her net worth?
Qiao Xi smiled. An illegitimate daughter was sitting in a world-class, limited edition sports car that was worth 80 million yuan. She was the legitimate eldest daughter of the family, yet she was expected to sit in a shabby car that was worth less than 200,000 yuan?
A trace of delight flashed through Qiao Rou’s eyes. So what if Qiao Xi was the biological daughter? All these years, she had still been trampled under the feet of the illegitimate daughter. She would sit in this world-class limited edition sports car to attend the Meng family’s banquet. She believed that the Meng family would all look up to her. Thinking of this, Qiao Rou revealed a carefree smile and got the driver to open the car door. Just then…
“President Qiao, there’s something I’d like to ask.”
Qiao Rou subconsciously turned her head and saw Qiao Zhenguo walking over with a tall and deep-looking man. The man’s appearance was perfect, and he was even more handsome than Gu Moling.
Qiao Rou’s heart jumped.
Qiao Zhenguo had always thought that Qin An was here for Qiao Rou. Just now, Qiao Rou was bullied to the point of tears by Qiao Xi. If their family’s car had not arrived in time, Qiao Rou would not have known how to take revenge. Now that Qin An had suddenly spoken up, it was probably to help Qiao Rou vent her anger and teach the unfilial Qiao Xi a lesson!
“President Qin, if you have something to say, feel free to say it. No matter what you say, I’ll agree to it. Qiao Corporation hates people who rely on the authority of others. Whether it’s my daughter or my wife, as long as they make a mistake, I’ll deal with them the same way I deal with others!”
Qin An glanced at Qiao Zhenguo and had a wicked smile on his face. “Is that so? President Qiao, since you’re so magnanimous, you definitely wouldn’t treat your two daughters differently, right? They’re both attending the same banquet. If one goes in a luxury car, while the other goes in a shabby car, it just doesn’t make sense.”
Qiao Zhenguo was stunned, not understanding what Qin An’s words meant.
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Qin An say slowly, “Although the Qiao family’s second daughter is an illegitimate daughter, it would be too much for you to ask her to walk to the banquet. However, there’s indeed a difference between a legitimate daughter and an illegitimate daughter. How about this… President Qiao, you’ll arrange another car for the second daughter of the Qiao family. Although it can’t compare to the eldest daughter’s luxury car, it’ll still do. After all, President Qiao, you treat everyone equally, right?”
Everyone was dumbfounded. No matter how stupid they were, they realized that Qin An was getting Qiao Rou to give up the car to Qiao Xi!
Qiao Rou’s tears instantly welled up. What was going on? Did her father not say that Qin An expressed an interest in working with Qiao Corporation only because of her? Why was Qin An speaking up for that b*tch, Qiao Xi, now?
Qiao Zhenguo stammered as he explained, “President Qin… I know you’re doing this for the good of Qiao Corporation. I also know that you care about Rou Rou, so I arranged the best car for her…”
“Arrange the best car for the Qiao family’s second daughter? Why don’t I see it?” Qin An frowned in confusion. “Isn’t there only a limited edition luxury car that belongs to the Qiao family’s eldest daughter and a small car that’s less than 200,000 yuan here?”
Qiao Zhenguo wanted to retort that the luxury car was arranged for Qiao Rou and not for that unfilial daughter, Qiao Xi. Unexpectedly, Qin An gasped and said in surprise as if he had just realized something. “Wait, President Qiao, don’t tell me that this luxury car is for Second Miss Qiao?”
