Chapter 704 The Hand Under the Table
Fortunately, Shen Yun and Qin Wangdong used to be colleagues, and Chen Tao and Qin Wangdong were also drinking buddies. The two families often visited each other, so they didn't get angry about the joke.
Teacher Li mainly felt that since all the children were there, Qin Wangdong really didn't know how to speak appropriately in different situations.
Chen Tao was quite satisfied; his appearance had finally diverted Qin Wangdong's attention. Chen Xiao took this opportunity to send a message to Zhao Xiangjun, asking where she was.
The door to the staff break room was gently pushed open, and Zhao Xiangjun and Xu Jia walked out one after the other. Zhao Xiangjun had clearly just finished reading the message Chen Xiao sent, and her face still carried a gentle smile as if she was preparing to go find him.
The instant she looked up—
The smile on Teacher Li's face froze completely, as if the pause button had been pressed!
She had been filled with pride for her daughter Qin Yun's striking beauty. Although she had met the elegant Zhang Ziqian today, Ms. Li confidently felt that her daughter was in no way inferior. This confidence in her daughter's beauty was one of the greatest comforts and sources of pride for her and her husband Qin Wangdong over the years.
However, the woman who came out of the lounge...
Teacher Li's vision and cognition seemed to be struck hard by an overly dazzling light!
It seems that the Creator has poured all the world's imagination of "perfection" into this one person! His features, figure, temperament... everything is exquisitely sculpted and perfectly natural.
She simply stood there, like a luminous liquid contained in the purest crystal container, its light gentle yet undeniable, instantly eclipsing everything around her, including her proud daughter, Qin Yun!
Qin Wangdong, who was standing nearby, noticed his wife's unusual behavior and turned his head in confusion, following her gaze.
The expression on his face instantly mirrored that of Teacher Li—shock, disbelief, and a bewildered state of being speechless by her beauty! He had seen many beautiful women, including his own daughter Qin Yun, but this woman before him... had already surpassed his understanding of "beauty"!
Just as the couple were stunned into silence by Zhao Xiangjun's beauty, standing rooted to the spot like two stone statues, a joyful voice broke the eerie stillness:
"Oh! Xiangjun!" Shen Yun's eyes lit up, and she quickly went to greet her, her tone full of affection, "I was just wondering why I hadn't seen you!"
Qin Wangdong and Teacher Li were taken aback, not expecting that Shen Yun would know this person.
The next second, Zhao Xiangjun's way of addressing Shen Yun completely petrified the two of them:
"Mom, Dad, you're both here?"
Teacher Li suddenly turned her head, "Teacher Shen, you and Old Chen had another daughter? She's so beautiful, even a fairy couldn't be this pretty!"
Shen Jun was taken aback by Teacher Li's shocking question, but then she realized what was happening and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
She reached out and affectionately embraced Zhao Xiangjun's waist, as if displaying a rare treasure, a bright and proud smile on her face, as she explained to Teacher Li and Qin Wangdong:
"She's even closer than my own daughter! This is my Chen Xiao's precious wife—Xiang Jun!" She emphasized the words "precious wife," her affection and pride almost overflowing.
Teacher Li and Qin Wangdong: "..."
They turned to look at Zhang Ziqian again. If they remembered correctly, this was the same person who had just called her "Mom." Wasn't she Chen Xiao's girlfriend? What's going on with this new "wife"?
Qin Wangdong even wondered if too much blood had entered his ears, causing him to hallucinate.
The key point is that they dare not ask any questions. What if Zhang Ziqian and this woman start arguing about who the main wife is and they end up fighting?
"Sister Xiangjun—"
"Sister Xiangjun—"
Zhang Ziqian and Qin Yun stepped forward to greet them at the same time, which made Qin Wangdong and Teacher Li momentarily lose their composure.
"Xiaoyun, you know her too?"
Qin Yun nodded vigorously; she had only met this goddess at noon that day.
Qin Wangdong and his wife thought to themselves, "Since our daughter knows this, we'll find an opportunity to ask her about it later."
Seeing how respectful Zhang Ziqian was to Zhao Xiangjun, and how gentle and affectionate Zhao Xiangjun was towards Zhang Ziqian, the two of them couldn't understand it at all. Wasn't it said that rivals in love are always particularly hostile?
Shen Yun introduced Zhao Xiangjun to Qin Wangdong and his wife. "Uncle Qin, Aunt Li—"
Xu Jia greeted Zhao Xiangjun.
By this time, Chen Tao had already changed out of the clothes he had chosen. The more people there were, the more "inflated" Qin Wangdong became.
She snatched the clothes from Chen Tao's hands and said, "Here, give them to me—"
Before Chen Tao could react, it was snatched away. Zhao Xiangjun and Xu Jia, unaware of what had happened, were confused.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Hearing Zhao Xiangjun's question, Shen Yun said helplessly, "Your Uncle Qin wants to send your dad a few sets of clothes, and he's going to try and snatch the order—"
what--
Xu Jia felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, and hurriedly chased after him, calling out, "Uncle Qin, Uncle Qin—"
Just then, the cashier was about to pay, but Xu Jia quickly stopped her: "This order doesn't need to be paid; just treat it as a free gift."
Qin Wangdong was waving his bank card, ready to enjoy the thrill of spending recklessly. There were 200 million yuan in the card, more than he had ever been in his life. He had finally reached the point where he could buy clothes without even looking at the price.
However, just as he was about to "spend money like water," he was stopped.
This person actually said it was free? A free gift? Are you kidding me? They're in business, not charity.
However, the cashier immediately stopped taking the payment and respectfully said to Xu Jia, "Received, Mr. Xu—"
"What's going on?" Qin Wangdong asked, looking at the shop assistant who had stopped taking payments but was still packing orders. He couldn't figure out what was happening. What was Mr. Xu doing?
Xu Jia then turned to him and said, "Uncle Qin, this is our own shop, you don't need to pay."
His own shop? Qin Wangdong was starting to doubt his life. He had finally managed to show off a little, and now he was being deprived of that opportunity.
Xu Jia took the packed shopping bag. "Uncle Qin, why don't you pick out a couple of items too?"
At this moment, Chen Tao also came over. "Yes, Lao Qin, pick out a couple of things. It's a small token of the children's affection."
"No, no, I don't want it—" Qin Wangdong quickly refused. He had come out today to show off his wealth, so how could he accept gifts from others?
As the group left the store, Qin Wangdong asked the store manager, "Did this store belong to that Mr. Xu himself?"
The store manager explained in a low voice, "Mr. Xu is our regional general manager; this is a company-owned store."
hiss--
Qin Wangdong gasped. How old is this girl? She's already a regional general manager? Chen Tao's son and daughter-in-law are really something, getting to know people like that.
"Old Qin, what do you want to eat tonight? We'll arrange it." Chen Tao hadn't had a couple of drinks with Qin Wangdong in a long time.
"Haha, I won't fight you for this—" When I gave Chen Tao the foldable screen computer, we agreed that Chen Tao would treat us to dinner.
"Okay, Lao Chen, there's a restaurant upstairs called [Lake and Sea Villa]. It serves local cuisine, and it's pretty good. Let's go there for dinner." Chen Tao originally wanted to eat at Junxiao Lakeside Hotel, since it was his own restaurant and drinks were easy to arrange. But Qin Wangdong suggested eating there, and he couldn't very well refuse. Mentioning Junxiao Lakeside Hotel now would seem pretentious.
[Lake and Sea Villa]?
This must be a project that Uncle Xiangjun collaborated on with that boss Hu Haishan, right?
I used to eat at that restaurant whenever I visited Xiangjun's family; it was very unique. Later, the restaurant owner was clever and approached Xiangjun's uncle about a potential collaboration in front of Zhao Hui. As a result, he received preferential treatment regarding the location and conditions at Junxiao Plaza. He must have opened quite a few branches by now.
For a business that's guaranteed to make money, the owner would sell everything they own to rush the time and open the shop as soon as possible.
Chen Xiao spotted Yan Yue, a top-tier imperial bodyguard, not far from Zhao Xiangjun. He had been keeping a close watch on her. He initially planned to have her retrieve the wine from the carriage, but considering they were at the Lake and Sea Manor, he decided against it.
He knew this restaurant kept some good wines on hand. Especially in Jiangzhou, important figures might dine there any day, so it was good to have some good wine prepared.
Inside Junxiao Plaza, everyone knows this restaurant is connected to General Manager Zhao. The leaders often hold their business dinners here.
The group arrived at the top floor, where the [Lake and Sea Villa] was quite spacious, exceeding 500 square meters. Its decor blended traditional Chinese style with modern trends, complementing the overall style of the shopping center quite well.
"Old Chen, let me tell you, this restaurant is no ordinary place. I've eaten here a few times, and I've heard that the owner is very influential and is now fully cooperating with Junxiao Group."
"Uh, Junxiao Group, you've heard of it, right?"
Welcome to Lake and Sea Villa!
The welcoming girls greeted him warmly, and Chen Tao turned to Qin Wangdong and replied, "Of course I know, it's our family's—"
Qin Wangdong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and scolded, "Old Chen, when did you become such a good braggart?"
"Excuse me, how many of you are dining?"
Zhang Ziqian stepped forward and told the greeter the number of people, asking for a private room.
Later, Chen Tao had a chance to say to Qin Wangdong, "What bragging? I'm serious. My son is Chen Xiao, and my daughter-in-law is Xiang Jun. Junxiao Group is named after one character from each of their names."
Qin Yun heard Chen Tao's explanation from behind, but she didn't respond to her father's words. She had originally planned to step forward and explain as well.
To everyone's surprise, Qin Wangdong burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Old Chen, Old Chen, you truly are a math teacher; even your boasting is grounded in logic. You win, your boast is well-reasoned and supported by evidence—"
have to--
He seemed unconvinced.
Chen Tao looked back at Chen Xiao, unsure how to prove it. He couldn't very well show him his bank card balance, could he?
When the hostess heard that Zhang Ziqian wanted a private room, she apologized and said, "I'm really sorry, but our private rooms all need to be reserved in advance. We don't have any available without a reservation."
Qin Wangdong exclaimed, "Oh dear, I forgot! This lady is right, their private rooms aren't available without a reservation. How about we go somewhere else? Other restaurants are pretty good too."
Zhang Ziqian turned around upon hearing this: "Uncle Qin, no need, they have spare private rooms—"
Then she said to the greeter, "Please tell your manager to give us the spare private room. Oh, and if we need to consult with our superiors, just say I'm Zhang Ziqian."
Upon hearing this, the greeter glanced at her. Zhang Ziqian had been with Chen Xiao for so long, and in this position, she had gradually developed her own aura, no longer the gentle and innocent girl she once was.
She dared not delay and hurriedly went back to ask, "Please wait a moment, the headquarters leaders are coming to inspect the work today, and I don't know if that private room has been occupied—"
Hearing that there was still a chance, Qin Wangdong glanced at Zhang Ziqian and then whispered to Chen Tao, "Chen Xiao's friend seems unusual. Is her name really that effective?"
Chen Tao sighed, "I already said, Junxiao Group belongs to my son. How could Ziqian's name not work?"
Qin Wangdong chuckled, glanced at Chen Xiao and Zhao Xiangjun who were a bit far away and probably couldn't hear him, and whispered, "If your son is the boss of Junxiao Group, then my daughter is the boss's wife of Junxiao Group."
ho-
Chen Tao was startled and quickly turned to look at his daughter-in-law Zhao Xiangjun. Then he turned back and said, "You old man, how can you not keep your mouth shut? The children are right here."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Qin Yun was standing right next to him, her face flushed, clearly having overheard their conversation.
At this moment, the greeter quickly came out: "President Zhang, and all the leaders, please come in—"
She didn't know who this Mr. Zhang was, only that the private room was originally reserved for company headquarters leaders who came to inspect work and were preparing to dine there. But upon hearing Zhang Ziqian's name, she hurriedly demanded that the restaurant treat the guest like royalty and fulfill all of his/her requests.
Judging from the manager's appearance, he was extremely panicked.
When he was asked to come out and greet the guests, he was still inside listening to his superiors give him a lecture.
Qin Wangdong exclaimed, "Wow, that title is really useful!" Then he turned to Qin Yun and said, "Xiao Yun, you're the boss, yet you don't have the same imposing presence as Ziqian—"
Qin Yun rolled her eyes. Are we all on the same level? If Zhang Ziqian stomped her foot, the entire business world would tremble. If she stomped her foot, apart from the people downstairs coming up to curse her, there would be no other reaction.
The group followed the greeter into the private room, where a beautiful woman in a restaurant uniform immediately came over to serve the menu.
"Old Chen, their dishes are a bit pricey, but the ingredients are really good—"
Because Chen Tao was going to treat everyone, he was giving him a heads-up. Chen Xiao, who was sitting next to Qin Wangdong, smiled and said, "Indeed, all the ingredients at his restaurant are guaranteed to be fresh."
"Hey—", Qin Wangdong handed the menu to Chen Tao: "Here, you can choose what you want, but don't order anything too expensive."
Then he said to Chen Xiao, "It seems you've eaten at their restaurant before."
"Hmm—I've eaten it a few times."
Teacher Li pulled Shen Yun to the restroom, while Chen Tao asked the waiter for the dishes.
Chen Xiao was surrounded by Zhao Xiangjun, Xu Jia, Zhang Ziqian, and Qin Yun.
Suddenly, he felt a pat on his thigh. He initially thought it was Zhao Xiangjun, but then he realized, no! It was Qin Wangdong's side. He turned his head and saw Qin Wangdong holding two stacks of hundred-yuan bills, patting them on his thigh.
Chen Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then understood what he meant. (End of Chapter)
