Qiao Lijie is a typical rich young man who has always looked down upon others. Even though ten years have passed, he has entered Qiao's job and became the general manager, but his inferiority has not changed. Facing Guan Shouheng

, this man who he once thought was humble enough to be humbled in the dirt is now on his way to the top, how can he not be angry?

Qiao Lijie snorted with disdain, he was the general manager of Qiao's, what could he do if he didn't dump him?

Bypassing Guan Shouheng, he sat directly opposite the French company representative.

Guan Shouheng's hand was still stretched out in mid-air, maintaining its original posture.

Of course he was embarrassed.

Mint subconsciously gritted his teeth, how dare this damn Qiao Lijie do this to him!

This reminded her of what happened ten years ago. That day was her grandmother's art exhibition. Qiao Lijie also humiliated Guan Shouheng in every possible way at that time, but she kept asking him to endure it because it was her grandmother's art exhibition and she didn't want anyone to ruin the atmosphere.

She knew that Guan Shouheng had been patient at that time, but now he was no longer the same Guan Shouheng. Qiao Lijie could not take him seriously back then, but he was no longer what he used to be. She didn't even dare to think that he was no longer the same person.

How long has it been since you were ignored like this?

He must feel embarrassed and angry!

Mint subconsciously bit her lip and looked at Guan Shouheng worriedly.

However, she was wrong, he was not angry at all!

He slowly retracted his hand with a nonchalant expression. It seemed that from beginning to end, he was the one who really didn't pay attention to the other party.

She frowned slightly, as if she didn't quite understand how strong his self-esteem was. She understood better than anyone else that if she hadn't stopped him back then, he would have beaten Qiao Lijie to pieces.

Qiao Lijie was so disrespectful today and was not polite at all in front of so many people. How could he not care?

With all the old and new grudges added up, how could he not be angry?

However, the strange thing is that he is really not angry. Although his expression is still so calm, his eyes cannot deceive anyone. In those deep black eyes, there is no shadow of any storm, not even a ripple.

It's like... he treats Qiao Lijie as air.

For some reason, Mint suddenly remembered Wu You's words - don't ask everyone to be kind and cute, and you can't ask everyone to understand you, because not everyone is human.

Mint suddenly felt like laughing.

"Sit down!" Guan Shouheng said slowly and led her to the sofa.

Mint quickly followed.

After the two sat down, the dinner officially began.

Of course, eating is secondary, meeting is important.

Soon we got down to business. Qiao Lijie was talking about business matters with the representative of the French company. According to the arrangement of Team Leader Li, Mint needed to be the translator for Qiao Lijie. Guan Shouheng was an old acquaintance with the representative of the French company, so he naturally acted as his translator.

Translated by Fang.

Because it was the first time we met, we mainly exchanged pleasantries, and no real business or technical details were involved, so the translation process went very smoothly.

But Mint was still worried. Qiao Lijie had always been sinister and reckless. He must be up to something secretly!

It's not that she has to judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, but she can see through the "handshake door" just now that Qiao Lijie has not changed in the past ten years, he is still the same willful young master as before

.

The difference is that he now has more power and status than he did ten years ago. After reading the information given to her by Team Leader Li today, she checked up on Qiao Lijie's recent affairs. His reputation in the mall was very good.

It's not good, he always resorts to some dirty tricks, but it's just that the Qiao family has a great business, so he can be so arrogant today.

If I have to say that he has changed, then he has become worse and a villain!

"Miss Bo, we are old friends. Come and have a drink!" Qiao Lijie said with ill intentions.

"Mr. Qiao, I am your translator today. It is not convenient for me to drink, so as not to cause trouble if I drink too much." Mint declined politely.

"Miss Bo, you are being humble. I remember that you have always had a good drinking capacity! I remember at your birthday party..." Qiao Lijie deliberately did not open any of the pots, just to take the opportunity to satirize her about the huge difference between the past and the present.

Different places.

Mint secretly adjusted her breathing and said patiently, "Mr. Qiao's memory is so good, I even forgot about it."

"Really?" Qiao Lijie deliberately pretended to be surprised and asked again, pretending to be dumbfounded, "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for many years. I wonder how you have been over the years? How is Auntie?"

Mint clenched her fists subconsciously. No matter how Qiao Lijie mocked her, she could bear it, but this was the only thing she couldn't!

It's impossible for him not to know about her mother's current situation, and to ask this deliberately is simply too much!

"Thanks to Mr. Qiao, everything is fine for Ms. Shen now." Guan Shouheng suddenly interrupted, with a low voice, a steady tone, and a calm expression. He asked again unhurriedly, "How is Mr. Qiao's mother?"

What? I heard that she seemed to have gone to Australia a while ago, right? Haha, it’s really enviable! The weather in Australia is particularly good!"

Mint was secretly surprised, how did he know about this? She thought he didn't pay attention to gossip!

Not long ago, the paparazzi broke a big news, saying that Qiao Lijie's father kept a mistress. The mistress was pregnant, and later went to Australia to give birth. Qiao Lijie's mother was so angry that she chased him there, and made a big fuss after arriving.

hospital and was later detained by the police.

Qiao Lijie's expression changed as expected. Damn it, the Qiao family has tried their best to suppress this matter, but everyone still knows about it!

"Mr. Guan is right. The weather in Australia is indeed very good. It is very suitable for people to live in, especially for children! There are many pregnant women in China who fly there specially to give birth to their children. The children are so cute, right?" Qiao Lijie is not fuel-efficient either.

Deng, deliberately mentioned the child.

Mint's breath tightened, her fists tightened, and her nails stung her palms.

This damn Qiao Lijie, he clearly knew about her massive bleeding that night, yet he still deliberately provoked Guan Shouheng like this!

She looked at him fearfully.

It is true that Guan Shouheng will not remain indifferent, but he has thought about the child's matter too many times. Now that he has thought about it, there is no need to dwell on that knot anymore.

Of course the pain was inevitable, but the wound had scabbed over, and as long as he stopped touching it, he would never be hurt again.

Guan Shouheng removed the haze from his eyes and said slowly, "It seems that Mr. Qiao likes children very much? That's great! I have a classmate in the United States now. He called me a few days ago and said that he saw him in Central Park in Manhattan.

Isn’t it interesting that a child looks very similar to you? I said he must have seen it wrong. Mr. Qiao is not married yet, right? How could he have a child? But since Mr. Qiao likes children, he should have one as soon as possible!

I believe Father Qiao will be very happy to have his grandson!"

The corners of Mint's mouth twitched hard and she almost laughed out loud. When did Guan Shouheng become so "evil"? Why didn't she know?

The mistress kept by Qiao Lijie's father gave birth to a son. Isn't that child just one generation behind Qiao Lijie in age? In terms of age, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the grandson of Qiao Lijie's father!

Mrs. Qiao was afraid that the child would rob her son's property in the future, so she rushed to Australia to make a big fuss. However, Xiaosan's child was already born and could not be strangled to death. In the end, Qiao's father had no choice but to send Xiaosan, mother and son to the United States, where the paparazzi

The team also said that he made a will stating that all his property would belong to his eldest son in the future, so that Mrs. Qiao and Qiao Lijie were willing to give up.

I don’t know if the paparazzi reports are true or false, but these are just gossips. Why would Guan Shouheng pay attention to them?

Mint feels incredible. When did he become so idle? He is usually so busy that he can hardly eat, so how can he have time to read gossip? And he has never liked gossip!

But Guan Shouheng only looked at her with a half-smile, and had already returned to his usual calm composure.

Mint frowned subconsciously, he gave people an unfathomable feeling!

A very strange thought suddenly came to his mind. Could it be that he paid attention to the Qiao family on purpose because of her?

Because on today's occasion, he knew that she was going to face Qiao Lijie, so he went out of his way to read the gossip?

Did he do this to vent his anger on her behalf?

If she hadn't heard the words he just said with her own ears, she wouldn't have believed that they came from Guan Shouheng's mouth. When had he been so bored?

He has an indifferent personality and is unwilling to say a single word to people unless necessary. How could he be so nonchalant and sarcastic?

Mint was lost in thought and couldn't understand Guan Shouheng's abnormal behavior.

Guan Shouheng and Qiao Lijie were talking to each other, going back and forth, and they were quarreling with each other!

Of course, they won't fight for too long, because on this occasion, there are also representatives of the French company.

But in just a few back and forth, it was too obvious who would win and who would lose, Guan Shouheng was victorious!

The meeting returned to the main topic. Qiao Lijie actively interacted with the representatives of the French company and chatted while eating.

Mint was alert while translating.

Fortunately, today was only the first time the two parties met, and the conversation was not in-depth. Qiao Lijie did not show anything particularly wrong.

After more than an hour, the meeting ended, and both parties stood up, shook hands and said goodbye.

This night, there was finally no danger.

***

After the meeting, Guan Shouheng planned to send Mint back.

"No need, I won't go home yet." Mint thought of Lin Lin, that silly girl was still waiting for her!

"Where are you going?" Guan Shouheng raised his eyebrows.

Mint looked at him suspiciously, why did he care so much?

Guan Shouheng suppressed his true emotions and said calmly, "I just wanted to ask if we are on our way, and I can give you a ride along the way."

"I have an appointment with someone." Mint said as he lowered his head and took out his mobile phone.

The corners of Guan Shouheng's slightly raised mouth suddenly collapsed.
