Movies and TV: The heroine of the blind date

"Wait a moment."

At the door of a flower shop, Li Chengqian called Andy.

"what happened?"

Li Chengqian did not answer, but walked into the flower shop, selected flowers, scanned the code, and paid in one go. In less than a minute, he returned to Andy with a bouquet of blue roses.

"For you"

Li Chengqian, like a young man in love, presented Andy with a bouquet of flowers.

"Thank you"

Andy accepted the flowers with a blushing face, like a girl accepting a love confession.

"You seem to be familiar with everything here?"

This time it was Andy who spoke, and she had just had this feeling when she was dining at a specialty restaurant.

"Of course, my mother is from Shanghai, so this city can be said to be my second hometown."

Li Chengqian attributed all his knowledge of this country to his fictitious mother.

"But is it really okay for us to come out on our own like this?"

"What could it be? Harry is the star of the dinner. With the help of your old friend, he can appease those government officials."

Freedom does not mean you can do whatever you want, but having the ability to not do something you don’t want to do; Li Chengqian now possesses this ability.

"Tan Zongming and I are just ordinary friends."

For some unknown purpose, Andy explained.

In December, the nights in Shanghai were still very cold. Li Chengqian had martial arts skills that allowed him to ignore the cold and heat, but Andy didn't have that kind of skill. Not long after they walked away, she was shivering with cold.

"Let's go back."

Li Chengqian took off his coat, put it on Andy and said.

He must still like me, right? Otherwise he wouldn't have given up Christmas and come to China with me.

Feeling the warmth of the coat, Andy thought so; after giving away everything, she, who is highly educated and intelligent, could not help but start to worry about gains and losses like ordinary women.

In the luxury suite of Kempinski Hotel

The central air conditioning has been set to 28℃, but Andy still wants to keep warm in this man's arms.

Mental disorder certificate?

After taking the first step, Andy felt that he should be healed. At least he felt comfortable when facing this man.

Li Chengqian was also very satisfied with the kind-hearted woman in his arms. If Qu Xiaoxiao was the ripened strawberry in the greenhouse, then Andy was the big cherry of the season, the kind that would splash juice when you bite it; with just one look and one action, she would know what you want.

"Why are you so proactive today? Who did you learn this from?"

After calling off the battle, Li Chengqian stood up and poured a glass of white wine for Andy.

"Susan said you men like this, and it seems she was right."

Andy took the goblet and drank it all, washing away the residue in his mouth.

"Susan, that female lawyer? Are you still in touch with her?"

"She is one of the few friends I have made in the United States. Although she is a bit utilitarian, she has no bad intentions towards me."

Andy still didn't see through the true nature of her best friend, and Li Chengqian was too lazy to be the bad guy, so they both chose to stop at the right time.

"I plan to invest 5 million US dollars to establish a charity fund to help orphanages and Project Hope in remote areas of the mainland. Are you interested in being the executor?"

After doing a lot of immoral things, Li Chengqian would also do some good things to accumulate virtue for himself.

Orphanage and Project Hope?

Thinking about how he lived in an orphanage and studied in a Hope Primary School when he was a child, Andy subconsciously believed that Li Chengqian established this fund for him.

"Of course I am willing to do so, but in this case, I will have to stay in the country for a long time. Is that okay?"

"Of course, the first generation of Nokia smartphones under Koch will be officially released next month, and the mainland market is our top priority.

In the next few years, the chip technology park in cooperation with Shengxuan Group will also be one of Koch Industries' work focuses, and I will come to Shanghai frequently."

Coming to the current world, Li Chengqian's first investment was to snatch the deal for Nokia's mobile phone business from Microsoft.

With the more complete operating system provided by Skynet, the development of the first generation of the phone took only three months based on Nokia's original operating system. After this period of improvement and production, Li Chengqian planned to release it simultaneously around the world on New Year's Day.

"If the first generation of the phone is released, with its excellent performance, it is only a matter of time before Nokia regains its leading position in the mobile phone industry."

Andy sighed as he glanced at the high-tech trial machine on the bedside table.

Although Nokia is a foreign brand, most Chinese people have a special feeling towards it, especially those born in the 1980s.

More than half of the people born in the 1980s chose Nokia as their first mobile phone; Li Chengqian wanted Nokia to rise again. In addition to investment, it was more of a sentiment to chase after his lost youth.

Royal Garden

As soon as Qu Xiaoxiao entered the house, she took out the admission letter from the University of Kansas from her suitcase.

Although Qu Yongquan and Mu Qiuyan couldn't understand it, they had translation software.

"Xiao Xiao, you have really improved. It was the right move for me to let you study in the United States."

"Dad, there are actually fake admission certificates like this. If you want to see if I'm a student of the University of Kansas, you actually have to log in to the school's official website. Come, let me show you how to do it."

Qu Xiaoxiao, who has always been timid and accustomed to cheating in her studies, has a rare chance to be proud of herself, and she also wants to show off.

"Old Qu, you let Qu Lianjie, a college student, be the general manager of the branch. In two years, when your daughter graduates from a prestigious school like the University of Kansas, what position do you plan to assign her?"

Before Qu Yongquan had time to recover from the joy of his daughter's success, he was directly demoted to a general.

"This? Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. Dad will definitely entrust you with important tasks when the time comes."

"Dad, don't count on me. After graduation, I plan to work at Koch Industries."

After seeing the vast ocean outside, Qu Xiaoxiao no longer has any interest in the small pond at home.

"You plan to work at Koch Industries and settle abroad? If so, Mom won't agree."

If her daughter stays abroad for a long time, it means that the family's huge wealth will flow into the hands of an outsider, Qu Lianjie. This is something Qu's mother cannot accept.

“Mom, Koch Industries is not a small workshop like ours. They are a multinational company and they also have business in China.

Besides, it’s still more than two years before I graduate. Isn’t it a bit too early for us to consider this issue now? "

Everyone knows how to use a delaying tactic, and Qu Xiaoxiao is also very good at it.

"Yes, yes, let's talk about these things after my daughter graduates. Xiaoxiao, your teacher is the one we just met at the airport. Why don't we invite him to our home and treat him well?"

Not only Mu Qiuyan, Qu Yongquan also had his eyes on Lillian, the noble person his daughter met in the United States.

Chapter 283 Reception

"Xiao Xiao, your phone is pretty good. What brand is it?"

Qu Yongquan considers himself to be worldly-wise, but he was still immediately attracted by the high-tech mobile phone in his daughter's hand.

“Nokia.”

"Nokia?"

When did Nokia have this model?

Before Qu Yongquan could come to his senses, Qu Xiaoxiao had already called Lillian.

"Teacher, are you free tomorrow? My parents want to invite you to come home..."

Listening to his daughter communicating with Lillian on the other end of the phone in fluent English, Qu Yongquan was once again glad that he had made the decision to let her study in the United States.

"How about it?"

Seeing her daughter hang up the phone, Mu Qiuyan asked.

"She's been very busy these days and doesn't have much time to visit me. By the way, she also said that there will be a business reception at the Kempinski Hotel tomorrow night, led by a government department and hosted by our local Shengxuan Group, and she wants me to accompany her."

"That's great. Shengxuan is a local giant. Xiaoxiao, just think of it as a chance to see the world."

Qu Yongquan and Mu Qiuyan were sincerely happy for their daughter, just when they thought it was over.

The next morning

Qu Yongquan was holding a morning meeting when his secretary knocked on the door and interrupted the meeting.

"Mr. Qu..."

"That's it for now, Yao Chen, you will host the next meeting."

I know that if the secretary comes in and interrupts the meeting at this time, it must be for a reason.

really

"Mr. Qu, Director Ye from the district's investment promotion office and Mr. Wang from Shengxuan Group are waiting for you in the reception room."

"Director Ye and Mr. Wang from Shengxuan Group?"

Director Ye from the Investment Promotion Office, whose company has been settled in the district for many years, I have had the honor of meeting him several times.

Mr. Wang should be Tan Zongming's deputy Wang Ming; Shengxuan Group has an official background and is well-known for its wealth and power in the local area. He often represents Tan Zongming to attend some important events and is considered a prominent figure in the business community of Shanghai.

How come they came to me together?

筱绡

Qu Yongquan, like most businessmen, has a flexible mind and came up with the answer instantly, having built the company from scratch to its current size.

"Director Ye and President Wang, you are honored to be here. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me..."

"Mr. Qu is too polite. It's us who are disturbing..."

As the director of the Pudong New Area Investment Promotion Office, Ye Qiu is one of the few officials in the government department who is not arrogant. He is very easy-going and a bit of a socialite.

"Mr. Qu, our Shengxuan Group will hold a business reception at the Kempinski Hotel at 8 o'clock tonight. On behalf of our Mr. Tan, I sincerely invite you and your wife. I hope you can take some time out of your busy schedule to attend."

Wang Ming smiled and accepted the invitation with both hands.

"Of course, of course. We will be there on time."

Since the other party gave him such face, Qu Yongquan did not hesitate and agreed generously.

…………

Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai is located in the most vibrant core area of ​​Lujiazui, Pudong, overlooking both sides of the Huangpu River, and offers European elegance and luxury.

Two days ago, Shengxuan Group booked the entire hotel just for today's cocktail party.

The Shunhua Banquet Hall was crowded with guests. Led by the hotel waiter, the Qu family walked into the banquet hall. Compared with Qu Yongquan and Mu Qiuyan's restrainedness, Qu Xiaoxiao was obviously much more casual.

"Hey, isn't that Ye Jinyan from Jingyan Group? I didn't expect him to be here too."

The house that the Qu family lives in now was produced by Jingyan Group, so Qu Yongquan is no stranger to this real estate tycoon in Shanghai.

"Mom and Dad, it seems like there's something interesting to watch..."

In fact, there was no need for Qu Xiaoxiao to remind everyone, as most people in the venue had noticed the movements around Ye Jinyan.

"How did you come?"

"Hello, Mrs. Ye."

Unlike Ye Jinyan's indifference, Daisy felt a little guilty when facing the woman in front of her.

"Assistant Dai, you've worked so hard. I didn't expect that besides working hours, even in private, our Old Ye can't do without you."

Mrs. Ye, as Daisy called her, sneered in a friendly manner.

"Mrs. Ye, I think you must have misunderstood?"

"What's the misunderstanding? Assistant Dai, I know you are young, beautiful and capable, but this is not the way to take shortcuts."

"Mrs. Ye..."

"Have you had enough of the fuss? Don't you know what kind of occasion today is?"

Facing the woman in front of him, Ye Jinyan had already lost his patience. If it weren't for his daughter, this broken relationship should have ended long ago.

"Boss Ye, I suddenly remembered that there are some things I haven't dealt with yet, so I'll excuse myself first."
