Led by Uncle Quan, Ding Qianlie entered the club unimpeded with her IELTS without even showing the invitation.
"Qianlie, you are here."
Zhou Haoqian was surrounded and chatting with many people. Seeing Ding Qianlie's arrival, his eyes suddenly lit up. Leaving the group of people, he quickly walked to her and greeted her with a shy smile.
Ding Qianlie frowned and said indifferently, "Director Zhou, we are not so familiar with each other. Please call me Chairman Ding."
The smile on Zhou Haoqian's face froze, and he scratched his head embarrassedly. "Sorry, I was rude. Chairman Ding, I thought we were friends, so …"
Ding Qianlie's face relaxed a little. Since he had apologized, there was no need to hold on to it. Moreover, she had thought it through. Even if the Zhou Family really wanted the ice-free refrigeration technology and wanted a share of it, there was still a possibility of cooperation. She could make concessions in this aspect and make up for it through cooperation in other areas.
Uncle Quan took a meaningful look at Zhou Haoqian, bowed slightly, and left quietly.
Just now, at the moment when Ding Qianlie was unhappy, the invisible aura she emitted made him sure that Zhou Haoqian's feeling was right. This woman was not simple. She was definitely a warrior, and a very powerful one.
However, he could not sense what realm she was in. But given Ding Qianlie's age, how powerful could she be? He was confident that if they really fought, she would definitely be no match for him, and even his disciple could easily defeat her.
The only thing he was afraid of was the female secretary who had always been close to Ding Qianlie. The woman looked young, but his intuition told him that she was definitely not young. Her cultivation was unknown, but her strength was definitely not weak, which made him feel a faint threat.
However, he was not worried. Not to mention whether they would fight, even if they did, the super bodyguards hired by the Zhou Family at a high price a few days ago could definitely defeat them easily.
Speaking of those super bodyguards, he was still extremely shocked to this day. He had stayed in the Zhou Clan to repay a debt of gratitude. He really could not understand why those super experts would condescend to become bodyguards of the Zhou Clan for worldly wealth.
Although he hadn't fought with those bodyguards before, his intuition told him that if they were to fight, it would already be good if he could fight to a draw with one of them, and this was referring to SS-level bodyguards.
The two SSS-level bodyguards at the front definitely had the strength to kill him in seconds. This made him worry that someone had set their eyes on the Zhou Family and had specially sent people to infiltrate the Zhou Family as spies.
Fortunately, although Zhou Junxiong did not mention the background of those bodyguards, he swore that they were absolutely reliable and would not harm the Zhou family in any way. Only then did he feel relieved.
I'm old, I'm really old.
Uncle Quan sighed inwardly, feeling depressed. Although he looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, he was actually close to two hundred years old.
It took him nearly 200 years to reach the peak of the God Martial Arts Realm. However, he did not expect that the lowest cultivation of the group of bodyguards hired by Zhou Junxiong was in the God Martial Arts Realm. As for the most powerful two, he could not see through them at all. How could he not feel depressed?
Fortunately, he could feel that those super bodyguards were definitely not young people, but old monsters who were much older than him, which made him feel a little better.
The Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was thin, and the cultivation environment was getting worse and worse. He could not figure out where these old monsters came from. However, since Zhou Junxiong was unwilling to say, he could not ask.
Anyway, as long as they would not harm the Zhou Family, he did not bother to meddle in other people's business. The only thing that made him feel a little uncomfortable was that Zhou Junxiong used to be very respectful to him, almost worshiping him as his ancestor.
But ever since they had these expert bodyguards, their attitude towards him was no longer as respectful as before. When they spoke to him, they unconsciously carried an air of bossiness and bossiness.
He didn't like Zhou Junxiong at all. Zhou Junxiong was ruthless, unscrupulous, and very good at pretending to be ambitious. If it wasn't for the Old Patriarch's kindness, he wouldn't have bothered to help him.
The reason why he still stayed in the Zhou family was that he was reluctant to let go of Zhou Haoqian, the only personal disciple.
Although he was Zhou Junxiong's son and inherited his iron-blooded and cruel style of doing things, he was not as vicious as his father. He attached great importance to relationships and was even more filial to his master than to his biological father.
This made Uncle Quan feel an extremely rare kinship in his life. Therefore, he regarded Zhou Haoqian as his own son and taught him all his skills without reservation.
At this moment, Zhou Haoqian had politely left, and Ding Qianlie was relieved. She wandered around with Siya and looked at the layout of the club.
She did not know why she always felt that today's Zhou Haoqian seemed to have some subtle changes from the Zhou Haoqian she had met several times before. He was no longer the young man who blushed when he spoke and looked extremely shy. Instead, his eyes were extremely hot and full of love when he looked at her, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"First Young Mistress, why do I feel that this is not a banquet, but a wedding scene? There are red decorations everywhere."
Siya looked around like a curious baby and asked with some doubts.
But in front of outsiders or in the company, she called Ding Qianlie the chairman, but when there were no outsiders, she always called her First Young Mistress.
"How could it be a wedding scene? This is a club, not a hotel. Maybe it is because the Spring Festival is coming, so the club is so festive."
Ding Qianlie couldn't help laughing and said casually.
However, Siya was right. The style of this club was really different from before. There were lights and decorations everywhere, red carpets on the ground, red candles on the buffet table, red paper-cuts of the character "Happy" were pasted on the walls, a line of red lanterns hung on the ceiling, and even the base of the wall lamps was hung with red silk cloth with dragon and phoenix patterns. It looked jubilant and really felt like a wedding scene.
Siya suddenly understood and nodded. "No wonder. The Spring Festival is coming in two days, so it is normal for the club to be festive."
Ding Qianlie smiled and said nothing, thinking that Bai Qing, who looked so fashionable, had a very old-fashioned mentality and decorated the club so festive.
However, it might not be his idea. After all, he was far away in Yan Jing now, and there were people to take care of the club. Maybe the manager of the club liked this festive style.
It was not the first time for her to come to the Purple Star Pavilion Club. At this moment, she revisited the old place and remembered that it was here that Ding Ning beat up William of the Standard Chartered Bank and Vice President Zhu of the Real Estate Industry Association for her, which made her feel the sense of security of being relied on for the first time. Her beautiful face involuntarily showed a sweet smile.
"Chairman Ding, congratulations!"
An ordinary-looking middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked over with a smile, holding a glass of red wine, and began to congratulate her before he arrived.
"General Manager Zhang, what do you mean? Where does the happiness come from? "
Ding Qianlie was slightly stunned. She picked up the glass of red wine and politely gestured to him, then asked in confusion.
In the Chamber of Commerce of Shenzhou, there was an unwritten rule that low-level members were not qualified to talk to senior members, and only people of the same level could communicate with each other. Of course, if a senior member was willing to take the initiative to communicate with a low-level member, there was no problem. After all, helping a junior to make progress would become a good story.
She met this General Manager Zhang at a previous Chamber of Commerce party. Although he looked plain, he was also a gold member with a net worth of more than 100 billion yuan. Although they were not friends, they had a good talk, and there were many possibilities of cooperation. Therefore, it was not wrong for him to take the initiative to communicate with her.
"Of course …"
General Manager Zhang showed an expression of "You know, don't hide it" and pursed his lips at Zhou Haoqian, who was surrounded by people like stars surrounding the moon.
"Oh, you mean this? It's not a happy event."
Ding Qianlie suddenly said, and then shook her head with a wry smile.
She thought that General Manager Zhang was talking about the cooperation between the Zhou Family and Longteng Group. In the eyes of others, it was indeed a great happy event, but for her, it was really not a happy event to share a part of the cake in her hands in exchange for cooperation in other fields.
General Manager Zhang smiled reservedly and secretly admired her. The business goddess was indeed the business goddess. Even though she was about to marry into the Zhou Family, she still looked so elegant and calm, and did not look proud at all.
"Chairman Ding, congratulations, congratulations. General Manager Zhang is also here."
At this time, another gold member, General Manager Yang, also came over with a glass of red wine and congratulated her.
Ding Qianlie said a few polite words, but before she could say a few words, gold members came over to congratulate her one after another.
Ding Qianlie smiled and raised her glass to deal with these people, but she felt a little unhappy in her heart.
The Zhou Family was determined to get the ice-free refrigeration technology, and so many members knew about it. It was not easy for her to refuse the Zhou Family, or most members would think that she did not know how to appreciate favors.
However, as long as the Zhou Family was willing to agree to her conditions and cooperate in other fields, it was not completely unacceptable for her to make up for her loss in the area of ice-free refrigeration.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved and chatted with these gold members with a sweet smile. After all, these members were all big shots in the business field. Although their assets were similar to that of Longteng Group, in terms of connections and business information, their foundation was much more solid than that of Longteng Group, which had only been established for more than two years.
In the conversation with them, a very casual word revealed information might be able to capture a huge business opportunity.
"What did she say?"
In an inconspicuous corner of the banquet, Zhou Haoqian urgently asked the middle-aged man beside him.
"She must have acquiesced. When everyone congratulated her, she just smiled and showed no sign of resistance. Childe Zhou, you can rest assured. I congratulate Childe Zhou first."
The middle-aged man smiled and raised his glass of red wine to take a sip. It was Manager Zhang, who first went to congratulate Ding Qianlie.
Zhou Haoqian let out a long sigh of relief, and a trace of joy appeared on his nervous face. He said self-mockingly, "I tried to call her Qianlie before, and she almost fell out with me on the spot, which made me feel uneasy."
"Haha, no matter how much Ms. Ding likes Childe Zhou, she is, after all, a business goddess. She has to be reserved in public. This is a woman's nature."
Manager Zhang said with a smile as if he had been through this.
But he was very envious. There were many beautiful women, but a talented and beautiful woman like Ding Qianlie was extremely rare.
So many members who had seen Ding Qianlie would have other thoughts, but they all knew that even if they were all gold members, she would not like them.
However, Zhou Haoqian was different. Not only was he the first-in-line heir to the Zhou family that even the gold members could only look up to, he was also young and handsome. He was also quite capable and had always had a good reputation. He was the Prince Charming of countless women. If he was a woman, he would not be able to reject the pursuit of such a perfect man.
