Zhou Jian smiled, looked at the time on his watch and said, "Mr. Qin, it's almost four o'clock now. Since you're already here, don't go back."
"In my opinion, I'll call grandpa now and let's go to the hotel for dinner in advance. What do you think?"
"Um...ok."
Qin Ming nodded, looked at Han Xi beside him, and hesitated to speak.
Zhou Jian quickly understood what Qin Ming meant, smiled and invited Han Xi, "Miss Han, you are Mr. Qin's friend. If it is convenient for you, why not come with us?"
"This...then I'm going to bother you."
Han Xi knew that she was in Qin Ming's favor. She was very curious about the relationship between Qin Ming and Mr. Zhou. After thinking about it for a while, she finally agreed to Zhou Jian's invitation.
...
Sovereign Hotel, in a luxuriously decorated VIP box.
Zhou Kangtai and Zhou Jian, as well as Qin Ming and Han Xi, took their seats one after another.
At Zhou Kangtai's signal, the waiters began to serve wine and dishes one after another, including swallow's fin, abalone, delicacies from mountains and seas, all of which were delicacies.
"Brother Qin, I really appreciate you for what happened last time. To express my gratitude, I offer you a toast."
With a smile on his face, Zhou Kangtai raised his wine glass and saluted Qin Ming.
"Mr. Zhou, you are too polite. It's just a simple effort. You don't need to take it to heart."
Qin Ming said quickly, picked up the wine glass and drank it down with Mr. Zhou.
Han Xi looked at Mr. Zhou and then at Qin Ming, with a strange look on his face.
She originally thought that Qin Ming could have a relationship with Zhou Jian, maybe because he was a distant relative of the Zhou family, or because his ancestors had a deep friendship with the Zhou family.
But now it seems that Qin Ming calls Zhou Jian brother Zhou, and Mr. Zhou calls Qin Ming brother Qin.
What's happening here?
The relationship is too messy!
Han Xi was confused. She glanced at Qin Ming from time to time. She felt that she could not see through Qin Ming more and more. There were even times when she couldn't help but want to ask Qin Ming what was going on.
However, considering that the occasion was somewhat inappropriate, she finally swallowed the words that reached her lips.
Qin Ming didn't think as much as Han Xi thought. He, Zhou Kangtai, and Zhou Jian's ancestors and grandsons were all on their own terms, so they didn't think anything was wrong.
On the other hand, since Zhou Kangtai's body has just recovered, it's okay to have a few drinks and talk about how he feels, but he can't drink too much.
So he asked Zhou Jian to entertain Qin Ming and Han Xi well for him and not to neglect the distinguished guests.
Han Xi is a girl, and she has to drive, so she drinks tea instead of wine the whole time.
Qin Ming didn't have any scruples. He and Zhou Jian exchanged cups. The two of them had the feeling that a thousand cups would be too little to meet a close friend, and their relationship quickly became much closer.
The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
When the banquet was almost over, Zhou Kangtai took the initiative and asked, "Brother Qin, regarding the cooperation between your Artistry Group and our Zhou Group, have you prepared the contract?"
"Already prepared."
Qin Ming took out the two contracts printed by Chen Tingting and handed them to Zhou Kangtai.
Favor is kindness, business is business.
Zhou Kangtai took the contract and read it carefully, and soon understood that in order to achieve cooperation with the Zhou Group this time, the Artistry Group had given a relatively low quotation, which was indeed very sincere.
"Brother Qin, I have read the contract. Basically there are no problems. It's just that the price needs to be discussed again..."
Zhou Kangtai frowned and stopped talking.
"Why, is the price too high?"
Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat. He knew nothing about the company's business and product prices. He didn't know whether the price was high or low.
