"Do you know what it is?" Ge Yuling saw that she was the only one who didn't understand anything Qiao Meng said, so she leaned next to Yao Miaomiao and asked.
"Didn't we read the introduction in the book that night?" Yao Miaomiao replied.
Thinking back to the night when I first arrived, "Are you talking about the almost perfect piece of jade I saw that night?"
"Yes, that's it!" Yao Miaomiao excitedly agreed. Now the whole room was filled with an incredible atmosphere.
Qiao Busi first asked: "Brother Qiao, how did you determine that this piece of material must be made of dragon stone?"
"Hey, it's a secret, that's right." Qiao Meng didn't intend to explain anything. There was no reason at all. The more he continued to make it up, the more problems would be exposed. It would be better to just say it in one sentence.
"Then how do you plan to open this piece of material?" Qiao Busi asked.
"I'll take it back and see." Qiao Meng thought for a while and decided to go back to his own territory and solve it. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens here, the gain will outweigh the loss.
"Are you going to Jade Street?"
"Go, but let's rest tonight."
Afterwards, the four of them went to the restaurant downstairs to have dinner together and chatted about some household matters. Not a single word was mentioned about stone gambling. From this conversation, Qiao Busi realized that Qiao Meng was not specialized in stone gambling.
Instead, he opened an antique shop by himself to engage in antique appraisal and treasure collection.
Qiao Busi is not very good at antiques, but through his introduction, Qiao Meng knew that he was not running the business alone, he was just a branch of a family, and this branch was specifically responsible for jewelry and jade.
It happened that he was quite suitable in terms of age and ability, so he was handed over to management. However, there will still be senior management who will inspect the performance every year.
This year is the second year that Qiao Busi has served as the CEO of Qiao Jewelry, a subsidiary of Qiao Group. It can be said to be a relatively important year. Each term will have a two-year inspection period. As long as there are no problems during the period, it will basically be fine.
Once you have secured your position, it would be better if you can achieve some results.
This is why he tried so hard to make friends with Qiao Meng when he saw his extraordinary side, because Qiao Meng was a hope that he could achieve some results.
"Qiao family? Brother Qiao, is this family very big?" Qiao Meng couldn't help but become curious about this Qiao family.
"That's natural. The Qiao family is the head of the four major families in Kyoto. It has its own power in many aspects. My little capital is not even one thousandth of the family's." Qiao Busi said mockingly to himself, but his eyes were full of contentment.
It's reverence, as if longing for something.
"That's not right. Aren't there only three major families in Kyoto? Why is there a fourth major family?"
Because her father had been involved in the business circle a lot, Yao Miaomiao knew some of the names there. When she heard that there was a discrepancy with her own knowledge, she raised questions.
Qiao Busi smiled at first, shook his head, and did not answer directly.
"Brother Qiao, why are you laughing?" Qiao Meng was puzzled. There was nothing funny about Yao Miaomiao's question, and judging from his understanding of Yao Miaomiao, she should not talk nonsense, so this statement must not be true.
What's wrong.
"I laugh because your knowledge is still too shallow. Although your father has made some achievements in S City, it is nothing compared to the real predators in Kyoto. This is not that I mean to belittle your father, but
Facts." Qiao Busi looked at Yao Miaomiao and said.
Yao Miaomiao was confused. Does her father's inferiority to those giants have anything to do with what he just said?
Seeing the three of them, you were still looking at me and I was looking at you, and you didn't know what it meant. Qiao Busi continued to explain: "The reason why I say this is entirely because your father is not strong enough to reach the real people in Kyoto."
In the circle of strength, it is not that there are only three major families, but the Qiao family has never looked down upon the other three major families, so they do not recognize the name of their own four major families. Moreover, the Qiao family does not like publicity, which has caused many people to stay away from Kyoto.
There are people who only know the three families but don’t know the Qiao family.”
After listening to these words, Qiao Meng and the other three suddenly realized that this was what happened. After having a general understanding of the strength of the Qiao family, they felt nothing but reverence. Being able to run the family to this level is definitely worthy of others.
That word of respect in my heart.
"The Qiao family is so powerful. If Qiao Meng and you were also from the Qiao family, you wouldn't have had to work so hard before." Yao Miaomiao said this unintentionally.
"If that's the case, how can we get to know each other?"
Qiao Meng shook his head and was unwilling to accept such an idea. In his heart, he only had Liu Xiazi and Ge Yuling as his family. If everything changed, it would be better to let himself leave this world in the first place.
What's more, there is no such possibility to start everything over again. He already has the ability to detect treasures given by God. Why should he rely on others to build a kingdom to survive? What is the meaning of such a life? What kind of life do you want?
, then rely on yourself to build it, this is the life he wants.
"Yes, brother Qiao, you and I have the same surname. Could it be that we are a family?" Qiao Busi's eyes lit up, thinking that this was very possible.
"Haha, I'm kidding. I don't even know how the Qiao family can be a family. Even if they were, it was at least five hundred years ago." Qiao Meng did not agree with Qiao Busi's conjecture and said jokingly.
"It's not surprising. In many branches of the Qiao family, only the person in charge knows about the existence above. It's normal that you are still young and don't know." Qiao Busi explained again, as if he had identified himself from just now.
The fact that Qiao Meng is also a member of the Qiao family.
"I'm sorry, Brother Qiao, I'm an orphan. We really just have the same surname. Don't think too much about it." Qiao Meng didn't think he was part of the Qiao family at all, and he didn't long for this identity.
"Sorry, I don't understand the situation..."
"It doesn't matter."
The atmosphere seemed a bit awkward now. Qiao Busi didn't want to believe that Qiao Meng had nothing to do with the Qiao family. This intuition made him want to conduct a thorough investigation after returning this time.
Now he sincerely admires Qiao Meng. An orphan has grown up to be able to run an antique shop at a young age, and has also become a treasure appraisal expert. After listening to the analysis of some of the deeds told by Ge Yuling and the others, Qiao Meng even
He is already a moderately successful treasure appraiser. It is unimaginable at such an age. Needless to say, his talent is absolutely unmatched. I have never heard of anyone who can compare with him.
I also recalled the short period of time since I met Qiao Meng. It can be seen from his behavior that he is calm, alert and not rigid in dealing with others, good at controlling his words and deeds, and decisive in his actions. These are all only found in society.
Talents who have worked hard for many years can combine the advantages of one person.
In Qiao Busi's eyes, he was even inferior compared to Qiao Meng. What an incredible talent this was. Even if such a person had nothing to do with the Qiao family, he would still have to find a way to communicate with the higher-ups and win him over.
When he thought that Qiao Meng might have been able to get a chance to join the upper echelon of the family because of his recommendation, he felt a little envious. This man was so infuriating compared to others, why didn't he have such a good talent?
But then I thought about it, since I recommended people like Qiao Meng, there must be benefits, and it was no one else who made good friends with him first.
It's him, Qiao Busi, who won't give him some face when Qiao Meng gets high. As the saying goes, one loses, one loses, the other prospers, and I believe that my vision will not attract someone who will leave me alone when he gets a benefit.
"Qiao Meng, it doesn't matter whether you are a member of the Qiao family. What do you think of the Yao Style Group run by Miss Yao's father?" Qiao Busi asked Qiao Meng with a roll of his eyes.
Glancing at Yao Miaomiao, Qiao Meng replied: "I think Yao Shi Group is still very strong. Although it has only made achievements in S City, it is still not simple."
Not only did these words not look down on Yao Miaomiao's father, but they pushed the Yao family to a higher position. It was as if the Yao family was indeed very good in his heart, which made Yao Miaomiao feel very good about his words.
Satisfied, after all, no one likes to hear other people say that their home is not good.
"Then how do you think Yao Shi compares with the three major families in Kyoto?" Qiao Busi smiled and continued to ask.
"Of course it's not as good as that, but..."
"But needless to say, compared to the Yao family, these three major families are definitely a mountain and a hut. You should understand this clearly. This is not the most critical issue."
Qiao Busi didn't let Qiao Meng say more. He knew that he must have said something to prevent Yao Shi from being looked down upon too much, but this was meaningless. The fact was the fact, and no matter what he said, it would not work.
Change.
"Brother Qiao, what is the key question you want to ask?" Although I felt a little uncomfortable listening to Qiao Busi's words, I couldn't refute it. Talking too much would only make me look too naive.
"Miss Yao, I hope you don't mind. What I just said is just a comparison. I know that the Yao style run by your father does have some strength, but the foundation for development is too weak, so it is limited to your S city.
Place." Qiao Busi first apologized to Yao Miaomiao and then said.
"Who do you think is stronger or weaker among the three major families or the Qiao family?"
Qiao Meng felt that this question was meaningless. He just said that the Qiao family didn't look down on the three major families at all, so naturally it was stronger.
"What exactly does Brother Qiao want to say?" Qiao Meng had no choice but to ask.
"It's very simple. Do you want to join the Qiao family?" Qiao Busi asked this question seriously.
He didn't answer immediately, but he didn't have any reason in his heart. Qiao Meng's current answer is definitely not to join the Qiao family, because he wants to create his own life, and joining the Qiao family will undoubtedly be subject to many restrictions.
"Brother Qiao, I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the Qiao family." Qiao Meng said after pondering for a while.
Just now, Qiao Busi thought that he didn't respond because the question contained too much information. Unexpectedly, he rejected it directly in the blink of an eye. Even Ge Yuling and Yao Miaomiao thought that Qiao Meng would answer with this word.
"Why?"
"There is no reason. I don't need too many paved roads in my life. I will walk on my own. It's getting late. Let's go back to the room to rest. We will get more good stuff tomorrow." After Qiao Meng said this, he stood up and left.
