My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 115
Moreover, Kaida Construction wasn't in competition with Zhou's Building Materials, so there was no need to make things tense. They had reached out indirectly, and it would be hard to refuse now without losing face.
Tomorrow, it would spread everywhere that Xu Kaida had become arrogant.
"Today?" Mrs. Xu hesitated. "But isn't Master Jiang still here?"
"Master Jiang isn't the type to care about these things. He just went up the mountain at the back. Plus, it doesn't conflict. Ahem, I also suspect Master Jiang wants us to introduce him to more people," Xu Kaida said. He was sharp, and if Jiang Yiqing knew he said this, he'd be shocked at how he figured it out.
Xu Kaida didn't need to say much for Mrs. Xu to immediately understand. She said, "Alright, I'll notify them to come over. If Master Jiang is willing, he can meet them as well."
Though Master Jiang was powerful, he was still young and looked like he had just entered university. His reputation wasn't that big, so they could help him out in this area and also make a good impression with him.
Now that everything was settled, Mrs. Xu immediately called the noblewoman back and told her that they had time today and invited Zhou Ding and his wife over for a chat.
Mei Qian quickly received the reply, and just as Zhou Ding was about to ask, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu agreed, and Mr. Xu will be there today. We should be able to talk about the cooperation."
Zhou Ding was relieved and couldn't help but praise Mei Qian. "Nice, some things really do rely on women. Us men can't manage that well."
True to Zhou Ding's nature, even when he complimented someone, he did it with a roundabout, fatherly tone. Mei Qian smiled and said, "I'll go get ready. Oh, I've worn those jewelry pieces so many times, there's nothing new."
Zhou Ding immediately understood she was hinting at wanting to buy something. Recently, the company wasn't doing too well, and Mei Qian had been forced to pinch pennies. She had been feeling uncomfortable for a while.
This time, she had really helped a lot, so she naturally wanted to ask for a little benefit.
As expected, Zhou Ding wasn't as stingy as before. He handed Mei Qian a bank card and told her to go buy some silver jewelry.
Mei Qian, satisfied, took the card. Having resolved the worry that had been on her mind the previous day, she felt relieved and, after bringing in such a big business deal for the company today, was in high spirits.
Soon, Mei Qian, wearing her newly bought jewelry and looking carefully groomed, went with Zhou Ding to the Xu family estate.
They didn't have much of a relationship with the Xu family before, so this was Mei Qian's first time coming here. Looking at the enormous estate, she couldn't help but feel envious.
They lived in a small row house with a tiny yard. It was nothing compared to the vast estate here.
She wondered if they would be able to get a bigger house if the cooperation went through. Mei Qian thought to herself, not even considering the possibility of the deal falling through.
Zhou Ding felt the same. He had already calculated how much profit the company would make if the deal went through.
Both of them were thinking the same thing, and they soon met Xu Kaida and Mrs. Xu.
Xu Kaida, no matter what he was thinking inside, was excellent at putting on a front. As soon as he saw Zhou Ding, he apologized awkwardly, "Mr. Zhou, I really apologize for yesterday. We had some issues at home, and I was a bit emotional... I hope you can understand."
After a night had passed, the swelling on Xu Kaida's face had mostly gone down. From a normal social distance, it wasn't very noticeable, and at most, people would just think he looked a little flushed with a healthy complexion.
Zhou Ding was petty and still remembered how Xu Kaida had embarrassed him the day before. However, since he was the one seeking cooperation now, even if he held a grudge, he couldn't bring it up.
He naturally smiled and said, "Haha, everyone has their temper. I know Mr. Xu wasn't angry with me. How could I be upset, haha."
"That's good, that's good." Xu Kaida was also good with words, looking relieved. "These past few days, I've been feeling uneasy. Mr. Zhou is so generous, it really puts my mind at ease."
While the two were exchanging pleasantries, Mei Qian was talking with Mrs. Xu, and the atmosphere was filled with a cheerful vibe.
"By the way, Mr. Zhou, you've come at the perfect time. We happen to have an important guest at my house today. I'll introduce you to him later," Xu Kaida said with a smile.
Zhou Ding naturally responded with a full smile, but in his mind, he was wondering who this important guest could be.
As long as it didn't interfere with the business talk, it was fine. But since Xu Kaida called him an important guest, the person must have an extraordinary identity. He should take the opportunity to make a good connection.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yiqing had no idea about any of this. He skillfully picked mushrooms and couldn't help but share his joy with Wen Xiuyan.
Somehow, after their conversation, Jiang Yiqing agreed to invite Wen Xiuyan over to his place for a mushroom feast.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yiqing blinked: o.O
He glanced at the mushrooms he'd picked and let out a sigh of relief. Not bad, there was quite a lot. Since he'd already promised Wen Xiuyan, there was no reason to go back on it now.
Aside from mushrooms, there wasn't much else to be found on the mountain. Jiang Yiqing walked around for a bit, took in the scenery, then decided to head back down.
He planned to stop by the Xu family estate to say goodbye. It was already noon, and after a short rest back home, he had to prep for his livestream.
No way he could miss tonight's stream.
Plus, he was still a little worried about the pets back home. Pang Pang was okay—it was a three-hundred-year-old pig after all—but he was a bit concerned about Milk Ball.
Milk Ball was clingy. Even with Pang Pang around to keep ot company, who knew if it'd get upset when he wasn't home?
At that moment, Jiang Yiqing really and truly felt it: he was now a guy with a dog. Thinking about the dog at home, he quickened his pace.
And then—just his luck—someone came walking toward him from the opposite direction. Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow, and immediately felt his mood drop. Seriously? Of all people? Ugh... maybe if he just acted like he didn't see the guy, it'd be fine. It's not like the guy would recognize him anyway.
Zhou Ding had been talking with Xu Kaida for as long as he'd been drinking tea. So much that his stomach was sloshing like a waterbed.
