Qiao Beifeng arrived at the Kaiyue Hotel with Qiao Gu and Qiao Donglai.
Originally, they could arrive at 11:30, but they encountered a traffic accident on the road and were delayed by traffic jam for nearly half an hour.
For this reason, when they arrived at the hotel parking lot, Qiao Gu asked Qiao Beifeng to go to the box first to see if Fang Lan, Chen Ye, mother and son were there.
When Qiao Beifeng arrived at the restaurant, he heard that the guests had arrived and rushed to the private room. However, he was dumbfounded as soon as he walked in!
Because, according to what he learned from Qiao Donglai, today's dinner was mainly to celebrate Fang Lan's birthday.
Apart from Fang Lan, Chen Ye and his son, the only people attending the dinner were him, Qiao Gu, Qiao Donglai, Huang Yongqing and his wife, and Zhu Yeqing.
At this moment, the box was full of people!
While Qiao Beifeng was stunned, both the Qin family, headed by Qin Shoujiu, and the guests present stood up immediately as if they had been stabbed in the butt by a needle!
Although Qiao Beifeng is just a dude, he is the dude of the Qiao family, and he is very likely to come on behalf of the Qiao family today!
How dare they sit and greet Qiao Beifeng?
Seeing this, Qiao Beifeng came to his senses and asked the restaurant manager:
"Is this Jiangnan Hall?"
"Yes, Master Qiao."
Restaurant Manager Xu nodded subconsciously.
Qiao Beifeng was a little confused and looked for Chen Ye in the dining area. He saw Qin Miaoyan, and then saw a figure whose back looked a bit like Chen Ye.
This discovery made him feel moved, and he walked towards the dining area again.
Wow!
At the same time, there was a sound of chairs moving in the dining area.
The Qin family members, headed by Qin Shoujiu, excitedly pulled out their chairs and faced Qiao Beifeng, as if they had been given blood.
That's right...
It's exciting!
Originally, after they learned that Qin Miaoyan was unwilling to invite Qiao Beifeng, they never thought that Qiao Beifeng would come.
Qin Boli mentioned Qiao Beifeng to Qin Miaoyan in public before, just to show off and show off, using the bluff of Thirty-Six Strategies!
At this moment, Qiao Beifeng is here!
Moreover, Qiao Beifeng also brought gifts!
This...how could they not be excited?!
Chen Ye heard Qiao Beifeng's voice and saw the Qin family's actions, but did not stop him. He just leaned over and accompanied his mother to pick up the money that fell on the ground.
Seeing this, Zhong Qin, Qin Miaoyan and her daughter did not go with Qin Shoujiu and others, but also helped Fang Lan and Chen Ye pick up the money.
However, while Qin Miaoyan was picking it up, she looked at Qiao Beifeng through the gap in the crowd, fearing that Qiao Beifeng would leave - she wanted to take advantage of today's meeting to ask Qiao Beifeng what was going on!
Soon, Qin Shoujiu led everyone to meet Qiao Beifeng in the area separated from the rest area and dining area.
"Beifeng, come as soon as you come, why don't you bring any gifts? This is too polite!"
Qin Shoujiu was the first to speak, using the term elders addressed to juniors, with a bright smile on his face!
"Master Qiao!"
The guests behind the Qin family also greeted Qiao Beifeng with smiles on their faces.
This was in stark contrast to when Fang Lan, Chen Ye, mother and son came to the box!
Um?
Qiao Beifeng was in a hurry to find out whether the figure on the back was Chen Ye, but he was stopped by Qin Shoujiu's group of people, who also greeted him cordially, and was a little confused for a moment.
He was not sure what the relationship between Qin Shoujiu and others had with Chen Ye, so he did not respond, but said:
"Please give way."
"Well……"
Hearing Qiao Beifeng's words, the guests behind the Qin family were stunned!
Didn't Qiao Beifeng come to wish Qin Shoujiu a happy birthday?
Why does it look like you don't know Qin Shoujiu?
The Qin family was also a little confused. Did Qiao Beifeng never see Qin Shoujiu's photo before he came?
Qin Shoujiu reacted quickly. He subjectively believed that Qiao Beifeng had never seen him and did not know his identity, so he wanted to speak again.
However--
Before Qin Shoujiu could speak again, Qiao Beifeng passed him by and walked through the crowd.
then……
His steps stopped abruptly!
Because, he clearly saw that Chen Ye, Fang Lan, Zhong Qin, and Qin Miaoyan were bending down to pick up the money scattered on the ground. Some of the money had Qin Hongwei's footprints on it.
This discovery once again confused Qiao Beifeng: How could I pick up money on the ground?
There is no answer.
Immediately, Qiao Beifeng had no time to reveal the doubts in his heart, and walked toward Chen Ye with an uneasy look on his face, like a primary school student who made a mistake confessing his mistake to the teacher.
One step, two steps, three steps...
After five steps.
Under the gaze of everyone, Qiao Beifeng stopped in front of Chen Ye, lowered his head and admitted his mistake:
"Sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm late!"
what's the situation?
In an instant, the box became quiet.
The guests in the box all had their eyes widened and were stunned to the spot!
Because the news of Qiao Yunfan's visit to Qin Shoujiu and the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement between Qiao Group and Wynn Group spread throughout the Jiangzhou business community.
Therefore, they had no doubt that Qiao Beifeng had booked a box for Qin Shoujiu.
They had no doubt that Qiao Beifeng was carrying gifts to wish Qin Shoujiu a happy birthday.
Moreover, they all judged that the relationship between Qiao Beifeng and Qin Miaoyan was extraordinary!
However--
After Qiao Beifeng entered the box, he ignored everyone in the Qin family, even Qin Miaoyan, and walked straight to Chen Ye, who was wearing cheap clothes, and apologized to Chen Ye...
How could this not shock them?
Even they are like this, let alone the Qin family headed by Qin Shoujiu?
this moment.
They all looked at Qiao Beifeng with astonishing expressions on their faces, feeling like they were hallucinating!
Otherwise, how could Qiao Beifeng know Chen Ye and apologize to Chen Ye for being late?!
Hallucination?
Fang Lan, Zhong Qin, and Qin Miaoyan, who were bending down to pick up money, suddenly froze and looked at Chen Ye in unison.
Among them, Zhongqin looked like a two-foot-old monk who was confused, while Fang Lan knew the relationship between Chen Ye and the Qiao family, and after thinking about the birthday celebration, she vaguely understood something.
Qin Miaoyan had an unbelievable thought in her mind: Could it be that everything Qiao Beifeng did for her was because of Chen Ye?
"Qiao Beifeng, it's okay for you to be late. However, after my mother and I entered the box, we were chased out like dogs. Some people even recklessly threw away the gift money my mother gave us because they thought they were too suspicious of me.
Shameful."
Chen Ye didn't even raise his head and continued to pick up money one after another.
His voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, exploding in the box!
Swish, swish, swish...
When Chen Ye's words rang in their ears, the expressions of the Qin family, headed by Qin Shoujiu, suddenly changed wildly!
Although they had a thousand or ten thousand reasons to convince themselves, it was impossible for a reform-through-labor prisoner with no background and just released from prison to know the young master of the Qiao family.
However--
The conversation between Chen Ye and Qiao Beifeng told them that all this is true!
Qiao Beifeng and Chen Ye know each other!
Moreover, Qiao Beifeng came for Chen Ye!
In fact, the first thing Qiao Beifeng did after seeing Chen Ye was to apologize!
Whoosh!
Qiao Beifeng's expression also changed wildly. He turned around almost subconsciously and said angrily:
"Xu Xiaoyu, what's going on?"
"Qiao...Mr. Qiao, after I received your call yesterday, I reserved the Jiangnan Hall.
Today, after Mr. Qin and the others came, they said that you were Miss Qin Miaoyan's boyfriend and you must have booked a private room for them, so I took them in."
Manager Xu of the restaurant came to Qiao Beifeng trembling, saying in horror, then looked at Chen Ye and Fang Lan,
"Later, the gentleman took the lady to the box. As for what happened in the box, I don't know..."
"boom!"
As the restaurant manager Xu Xiaoyu spoke, Qiao Beifeng's expression changed again and again, and finally he understood what was going on - the box he had reserved for Chen Ye was occupied by Qin Shoujiu and others, but Xu Xiaoyu did not.
call him!
This made Qiao Beifeng furious and kicked Xu Xiaoyu to the ground!
"Ouch!"
Xu Xiaoyu screamed, fell to the ground, and begged for mercy:
"Qiao...Mr. Qiao, I was wrong. I shouldn't have brought them to the box directly. Instead, I should have called you for confirmation first."
"You immortal thing, are you worthy of me booking a private room for you to celebrate your birthday? You're not afraid of being buried tomorrow?!"
Qiao Beifeng did not continue to blast Xu Xiaoyu, but glared at Qin Shoujiu angrily.
The expressions of the Qin family, headed by Qin Shoujiu, changed once again.
Although after they confirmed that Qiao Beifeng came here for Chen Ye, they realized that the box Qiao Beifeng had booked was not for Qin Shoujiu to celebrate his birthday.
But at this moment, Qiao Beifeng said it in public, which still made them feel ashamed!
Especially Qin Shoujiu and Qin Boli, father and son, wanted to find a mouse hole and crawl into it!
In addition to being embarrassed to the point of picking their feet, they were more panicked - there was a misunderstanding in booking a box today, what about what happened ahead?
At the same time, behind Qin Shoujiu and others, the expressions of the guests became more exciting than the others - they never dreamed that the Qin family would occupy the box reserved by Qiao Beifeng to show off!
Qin Boli even bluffed about the relationship between Qiao Beifeng and Qin Miaoyan!
However, while they were shocked, they were also a little confused:
Since Qiao Beifeng has no relationship with the Qin family, why did Qiao Group sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Wynn Group?
Is it also fake news?
Or is there another secret?
"You old man, if it weren't for Mr. Chen, would your Qin family's scrap metal be worthy of cooperating with our Qiao Group?
Mr. Chen and his mother came to wish you a birthday. It is the blessing that your Qin family has accumulated for tens of thousands of years. You actually want to drive them out?
It’s really blinding your dog eyes!!”
As if in response to the Qin family and the guests, Qiao Beifeng cursed Qin Shoujiu angrily again, making him feel like he wanted to send Qin Shoujiu to his grave immediately!
Swish, swish, swish...
The faces of the Qin family, headed by Qin Shoujiu, changed once again!
Even though they were embarrassed just now, they realized that all the good things that happened to the Qin family recently were most likely related to Chen Ye, but they still looked in disbelief!
Yes.
They couldn't believe that a reform-through-labor prisoner with no background and no merit could allow the Qiao family to do these things!
Not only them, but also the guests, they once again set their sights on the young man in cheap clothes, squatting on the ground to pick up money:
Why should he?
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
As if to respond to them, Qiao Beifeng turned around, raised his hand and gave himself two big slaps, then bowed ninety degrees to Chen Ye and said tremblingly:
"Mr. Chen, Beifeng did not do his job well, please forgive me!!"
