You ate them. It's okay. It's our honor that you like the candies." The manager's expression changed instantly. However, he didn't really believe that Jian Qizhao had eaten the candies. He just thought that Jian Qizhao was trying to save the young waiter from an awkward situation.
Jian Qizhao had a calm expression.
The manager then asked the waiter to bring another plate.
...
The bidding began.
Jian Qizhao was indeed interested in this project, but the fact that Boss Chen had someone maliciously raise the price was rather annoying.
No matter how profitable a project is, it has an upper limit. The risk assessment team in the company had evaluated this project. But now the bidding price was extremely close to the assessment bottom line. It seemed that the other side thought this project was too perfect.
When a new round of bidding started, the shills were bidding enthusiastically, but Jian Qizhao didn't raise his placard again.
He was just interested in the project, not that he couldn't live without it. There was no shortage of choices in this world.
When Jian Qizhao stopped bidding, the first one to panic was Boss Chen. At this price, there would be no other fools willing to pay. He wanted to rip someone off, but if Jian Qizhao didn't pay, what could he do?
He kept glancing at Jian Qizhao.
Cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead. His current state was no better than an ant on a hot pan.
Jin Huan was lying on Jian Qizhao's arm. While absorbing energy, she fell asleep.
The man would look at her tenderly from time to time, gently rubbing her small hand, and deliberately not looking at the placard again.
When the auction ended, Boss Chen ended up with nothing and his reputation was completely ruined. Of course, it was normal to use shills during the auction. But when the auction failed and this matter was exposed and put in the open, it was really embarrassing.
When Jin Huan woke up, the auction had just ended. She had just had a dream. In the dream, they were eating hot pot...
She opened her eyes in a daze. For a moment, she couldn't distinguish between reality and the dream. She asked Jian Qizhao blankly if the food had been served.
This immediately made him both amused and helpless. His little girlfriend was such a little glutton. He gently pinched her soft little face: "Let's go have a meal."
"I want the beef slices we had yesterday, and also shrimp dumplings. The chicken tofu was delicious. Zhao Zhao, add bean curd pudding..."
The little assistant followed behind the boss and Miss Shen. He thought that if he had such a delicate and soft girlfriend, he would try his best to satisfy whatever she wanted.
Jian Qizhao noticed that she didn't seem to like formal meals very much. But it didn't matter. She could eat whatever she wanted. As long as she was healthy, he could afford it.
Just as they walked to the door, they were stopped.
Jian Qizhao looked at Boss Chen with a pale face. He felt nothing in his heart. Boss Chen's current situation was his own doing. People, when they are too greedy, it becomes rather boring.
"Mr. Jian, Mr. Jian, take this project."
"Boss Chen is joking. The price is too high and may deviate from our assessment. Boss Chen should find someone else to cooperate with."
Jian Qizhao's words were not exactly tactful. Anyway, one sentence dismissed Boss Chen's idea.
"Mr. Jian, Mr. Jian!"
Jian Qizhao ignored him and directly left with Jin Huan.
"Jian Qizhao, you will regret it!"
Boss Chen's eyes gradually became dark and gloomy.
He returned home and took out a cloth bag from under the altar.
Inside was a small scarecrow.
There were already three needles stuck in it. He still had two needles left.
He murmured Jian Qizhao's name in his heart, visualized his appearance, picked up the needle on the cloth bag, and stabbed it hard into the heart of the scarecrow.
On the other side, Jian Qizhao, who was having a meal with Jin Huan, suddenly felt a pain in his heart. Instantly, his face turned as pale as gold paper and he spat out a mouthful of blood
