"What are you doing standing there? Aren't you going to sleep?" Seeing that Cao Aiqian was still sitting still, Cao Kouwen stopped and turned to call her. After that, he continued to walk forward. Cao Aiqian quickly got up and ran back. Go to your room.
The next day, just after dawn, Cao Aiqian was woken up by her brother. She spent the whole morning listlessly shopping with Cao Kouwen in the luxury shopping mall. It was better to say that she was shopping with him than as a mobile pendant for him.
However, small red lanterns were hung on both sides of the street, making it look cheerful, and the whole street was filled with a strong Spring Festival atmosphere. Cao Aiqian felt relaxed, but the weight on her body made her feel tired.
Her left and right hands were full of things Cao Kouwen bought, sometimes snacks, sometimes clothes, bags, shoes and accessories. She wanted to throw away the things several times.
Does this man want to buy everything for next year?
"Brother, why did we buy so many things?" Cao Aiqian complained as he walked back, "You can't be so willful if you have money."
"I'm going to visit many relatives and friends after the new year," Cao Kowen replied as he walked. "Of course I have to bring some gifts."
Okay~_~, you are always rich, you always buy the whole country of China, this is the first time I see the president personally choose New Year gifts for relatives and friends!
Besides, if you want to be close to life and you are considerate of your seven aunts and eight aunts, why don't you bring a few more strong men to help you carry your things?
"I finally understand. They just want to punish me!" Cao Aiqian muttered in a low voice.
"Huh?" Cao Kouwen didn't hear clearly and looked back at her.
Cao Aiqian had a pleading expression on his face, "Brother, I can't breathe!"
Cao Kowen glanced at the several large bags of things in his sister's arms, and then glanced at her collar and long hair, which were slightly messy due to running around, and said with an evil smile: "When I first went out, someone said to help me carry my things. It can be deducted from the debt of 10,000 yuan.”
Cao Ai's smile suddenly fell. She was indeed brave enough to say it, but she didn't expect that this eldest brother would buy so much!
Cao Kouwen watched with great interest as her expression changed from sunny to gloomy and finally turned into a bitter melon look. The corners of her mouth curled up: "Don't forget it~" After that, he lifted his legs and left.
Cao Aiqian watched Cao Kouwen disappear around the corner, gritting his teeth secretly, this damn guy knew how to bully her.
After he walked far away, Cao Aiqian lowered his head and fixed his gaze on several large bags of things on the ground, and hummed softly: "Who is afraid of who? It's just carrying a few things! It's easy to work for capitalists."
After speaking, he shook his head vigorously, picked up a bag of things, pulled it with his other hand, and followed after him.
Fortunately, the distance wasn't far enough. The driver, Uncle Cheng, saw her coming from a distance, struggling to pull her back. He quickly came up to pick up the things on her shoulders, and asked with concern: "Miss, what are you..."
"It's okay, it's not easy to make some capitalist money!" Cao Aiqian waved his hand, took the mineral water from Uncle Cheng's hand and drank a large amount to replenish his moisture.
Cao Kouwen sat in the car with his legs crossed, and looked at her struggling with a smirk.
"Dr. Cao, why did you suddenly think of going shopping today? You have ordered us to do this..." Uncle Cheng glanced at Cao Aiqian, who was standing nearby and gasping for air, and asked strangely.
"Nothing, just strolling around." Cao Kouwen responded lightly, looking away from Cao Aiqian's face.
After throwing all the large and small bags he bought into the car, Cao Aiqian was exhausted and slumped on the seat of the cab.
Seeing her look like this, Uncle Cheng couldn't help but whispered distressedly: "Dr. Cao, is Xiaoqian a girl...?"
Before he finished speaking, Cao Kouwen rolled his eyes at him and scolded him coldly: "Drive!"
"Yes!" Uncle Cheng was so frightened that he immediately shut up, resigned himself to his fate, started the car and left.
The car quickly drove to Cao's villa. Today's villa seemed to have been decorated with a New Year's scene. The courtyard was filled with all kinds of red lanterns and ribbons, creating a lively and prosperous atmosphere.
There are many domestic workers in the yard. They are clearing the snow from the lawns and gardens in preparation for welcoming the New Year in a few days.
Cao Aiqian dragged her tired legs to the living room and collapsed on the sofa. Cao Kouwen arranged for a housekeeping aunt to put away all the items purchased today, and then waved to Cao Aiqian.
"come over."
Cao Aiqian rolled his eyes, stood up, and walked slowly over to sit next to Cao Kouwen.
"Shall I rub it for you?" Cao Kouwen asked gently.
"Ah..." Cao Aiqian really couldn't figure out this man for a while. He was sadistic at one moment and gentle and controlling at the other?
There's something wrong with it!
"No... no need..." Cao Kouwen's sudden tenderness made her a little at a loss.
"Okay, you rest for a while, I'm going to change clothes and I have to go out in the afternoon." After that, he got up and walked towards the stairs.
When Cao Kouwen went into the house to change clothes, Cao Aiqian took the opportunity to sneak into the bathroom, took a comfortable shower, washed briefly, then got into her room and took a comfortable nap.
It wasn't until Ma Teng called her at 2:30 in the afternoon to inform her whether she wanted to attend the company's annual meeting that Cao Aiqian, who had not yet woken up, opened her eyes wide and woke up. After cleaning up, she went out and rushed to the company to gather. Location - Banquet Hall on the 38th floor of Tung Wah Building.
When Cao Aiqian arrived at the scene, there were already a few employees inside. Today, the lineup of Xiao Q Company is still very small.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, she attracted everyone's attention, because Cao Aiqian, who was wearing a black professional suit and a white suit today, looked elegant and beautiful.
"Mr. Cao! Welcome!"
"Mr. Cao is so beautiful!"
"Yeah! I didn't expect that a 17-year-old could do this."
"..."
Amidst the compliments of many "Mr. Cao", Cao Aiqian walked to the stage, exchanged a few words with Ma Teng, and then sat down in his seat, waiting for the annual meeting to begin.
The scale of this annual meeting was not particularly large. Although all company employees were invited, Xiao Q only had fifty or sixty employees at this time.
Ma Teng sat at the same table with several investors, but there was an empty seat on the other side.
Not long after, melodious light music played from the speakers in the hall, Ma Teng stood up and delivered a speech, and then announced the official start of the annual meeting.
But until Ma Teng announced the start of the annual meeting, there was still no one in the seat on the other side. Seeing that Ma Teng didn't look in a hurry, Cao Aiqian just drank the water in the glass quietly.
When they were full of wine and food, they suddenly heard a noise coming from the door. Everyone looked back and saw a man walking in from the door.
All the female employees were immediately attracted by the man and whispered.
"Director Cao of Shengfeng Group? Why is he here!"
"You don't know? He secretly invested 20 million in Xiao Q..."
"Wow, so handsome and rich~~~"
Cao Aiqian turned around after hearing this and saw Cao Kouwen walking towards this side with a faint smile on his lips.
There was a look of astonishment on Ma Teng's face. Ma Teng also invited him. Seeing that he didn't arrive, he thought he wouldn't come. This time he could make a big fuss in the news.
Then he hurried up to greet him and shook hands warmly: "Oh, Mr. Cao! How lucky are you?"
"I'm really sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road, so I asked my sister to arrive first." After saying that, Cao Kouwen turned his attention to Cao Aiqian and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Cao Aiqian was confused. When did he inform him to go ahead? So Cao Kouwen already knew that he was helping Xiao Q?
She recalled what Cao Kouwen said the day he attended the parent-teacher meeting: Do you believe you can bankrupt Little Q Company and put Ran Jiang in jail?
In fact, all this is not surprising. She must have known that sooner or later everything would be made public.
