Chen Qiao had a shy face, as if it was difficult to speak. Under Xia Cheng's encouraging eyes, she spoke out.
"Sister Cheng, you and that Eric look very familiar."
Looking at her expression, Xia Cheng seemed to understand something, "Why, do you know him too?"
Chen Qiao's face became solemn, and she looked at the rockery in the distance, her expression becoming distant and a little disappointed.
"I have met him a few times. At a fraternity party in your school, he sat next to me and watched you give a speech on the stage. I even chatted with him, but yesterday, he obviously didn't remember me. "
Chen Qiao didn't say that she secretly took photos of Eric, and looking at him every day seemed to have become a habit.
Xia Cheng has completely understood that Eric is the person she has a crush on. How should I put it, things in this world are always so wonderful.
So he asked directly, "Do you like him?"
Chen Qiao didn't hide it, nodded, and then lowered her head, as if she was shy.
Xia Cheng sighed. She put aside the girl's reserve and admitted that it was enough to prove that she was deeply in love with Eric.
Eric is indeed a very good man. It is not surprising that a girl falls in love with him. Xia Cheng hopes that he can have a new relationship.
Chen Qiao raised her head and said, "Sister Cheng, can you help me connect the dots, ask him out, introduce us two, and I'll pursue him."
"Ah?" Xia Cheng was stunned for a moment. This little girl is so courageous.
Chen Qiao took her arm and acted coquettishly, using both soft and hard tactics, "Sister Cheng, my good sister, please help me. Even if it doesn't work, I won't blame you. Even if he doesn't like me, I still have to try." If you try, you won't regret it, okay, I beg you."
"This?" Xia Cheng hesitated.
She knew that as a married woman, she should have a sense of boundaries, and she should not have too many private contacts with Eric.
Seeing that she wouldn't let go, Chen Qiao pouted and said, "I asked you to help just because you knew him. If you don't want to help, could it be that you also like him and don't want to introduce him to others?"
"No." Xia Cheng immediately denied, "I, I just thought, if it would be rude, well, I'll ask him out when I get a chance and let you have a meal together."
Chen Qiao immediately smiled and said, "Really, that's great. Sister Cheng, I know you are the best. I love you to death."
Xia Cheng smiled helplessly, she was really asking for trouble.
"Sister Cheng, you have to hurry up. The day after tomorrow is the day when they will discuss cooperation with Huatian. After discussing cooperation, he may have to return to China." Chen Qiao reminded.
She was very anxious. Xia Cheng thought of a question, "Qiaoqiao, he is in country F and you are in China. I don't think it is realistic for you to date."
Chen Qiao smiled and said, "I forgot to tell you, I haven't graduated yet, and I will go to country F in a while."
So, Xia Cheng is worrying too much.
The two sat outside for a while and then returned to the room.
Chen Juan and Lu Beiyu were discussing issues related to cooperation with StellarTech Group.
Just listen to Lu Beiyu say, "This cooperation is a rare opportunity for Huatian to enter the international market, so we must seize it."
Chen Juan nodded, "We will do our best. Thank you for your hard work these past two days. Please check and revise all the information carefully."
"Don't worry, I will do it." Lu Beiyu said.
Today's world seems peaceful, but in fact countries have been fighting overtly and covertly. War and economy are two ways of fighting.
Many foreign forces are still determined to subjugate themselves, and are suppressing and restricting them in various high-tech fields.
As a leader in science and technology in the new era, Huatian has always been the target of foreign suppression.
In fact, Lu Beiyu knew that Huatian had encountered many difficulties in the past year. Foreign governments wanted to acquire Huatian's core technology and offered very generous conditions.
Chen Juan is still the boss of Huatian and is in charge of everything about Huatian. In addition, it is no longer restricted from exploring the international market. It is just that he no longer has ownership of the core technology. All research at this stage is handed over to foreigners and he can enjoy it. The well-deserved benefits from these studies.
But Chen Juan flatly refused. He had no way out and could only rush forward. Even if he failed, he would never bow his head.
This is why he asked himself to come back and help him.
Lu Beiyu admired his courage, so he came back without hesitation and stood side by side with him.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Beiyu said, "You have a good rest and I won't disturb you anymore."
Xia Cheng just happened to come in and said casually, "It's noon, let's eat before leaving."
She was just being polite, but she didn't expect that Lu Beiyu was not polite at all, "Then I'd rather be respectful than obey."
"Ah, okay, you guys chat, I'll get ready." Xia Cheng said and went to the kitchen. In fact, they might as well stay for dinner to save her and Chen Juan any embarrassment.
Lu Beiyu raised his eyebrows, a little envious, "Hey, Ah Juan, Xia Cheng is quite virtuous."
Chen Juan curled his lips slightly and did not answer, but his expression was clear at a glance.
Chen Qiao stood aside in a daze, "Ah, brother, Sister Cheng has become your life assistant, and she also takes care of your food, clothing, and daily life. How much salary increase did you give her?"
Lu Beiyu looked at her like she was an idiot, "Are you stupid? You can't even see it? Your eyes are useless, just donate them."
Chen Qiao glared at him and was about to reply when Chen Juan glanced at the two of them and said, "Stop arguing!"
Then he looked at Chen Qiao and said, "Xia Cheng, your sister-in-law."
Chen Qiao was stunned on the spot, thinking that she had heard wrongly, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, until Lu Beiyu's hand waved in front of her eyes.
Only then did she react, "Brother, what you said is true. You didn't lie to me, right?"
Chen Juan was too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, picked up his tablet and started working seriously.
"Can you lie about this? Why are you just standing here? Why don't you hurry up and help your sister-in-law cook." Lu Beiyu pushed her.
Xia Cheng was a little depressed. Chen Juan was not ready to hide the news of their secret marriage at all. He told everyone he saw it.
Until after dinner, Chen Qiao thought she was dreaming. She held Xia Cheng's hand and kept shouting "sister-in-law" and "sister-in-law". Xia Cheng responded to her, and she regained some sense of reality.
When she came out of the villa, she did not forget to remind her, "Sister-in-law, you should help me now. Don't forget about my sister."
Afterwards, she and Lu Beiyu left together. Chen Qiao kept a smile on her face. She really didn't expect that Xia Cheng was her sister-in-law. This was great.
It was my brother who had the foresight and didn't marry Shen Wan. That woman was far behind her sister-in-law.
Lu Beiyu couldn't help but look at her, "What are you laughing at?"
Chen Qiao pouted, "What does it have to do with you?"
Lu Beiyu smiled and said, "I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
"Need not."
"Didn't you agree that I would do you a favor and treat you to dinner?"
Chen Qiao snorted coldly, "That's my sister-in-law helping me. What does that have to do with you?"
"..." Lu Beiyu.
Until the next day, none of the servants came to work.
Xia Cheng had no choice but to get up and go to the kitchen to make breakfast. As soon as she came out with breakfast, she saw Chen Juan coming down from upstairs, neatly dressed.
