It was an hour after all the desserts were sold out. Lu Yuanzhou, Zheng Qi and Zhao Qingqing helped Shen Anran clean up the store and threw the garbage into the trash can on the side of the road.

Chen Xi put on his backpack, rode on his electric bike, and waved to Shen Anran: "Sister Ran, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow, be safe on the road."

"Okay, Sister Ran, you guys should also pay attention to safety on the road."

Looking at Chen Xi's back as he rode away on the electric bike, Shen Anran hurried to Lu Yuanzhou's car and quickly sat in the passenger seat amid Zhao Qingqing's shouting.

Zhou Xin drove Shen Anran's car and followed behind the black Bentley.

Zheng Qi and Zhao Qingqing sat in the back seat, huddled together and whispered.

"Zheng Qi, did you and Lu Yuanzhou go to his company together?"

Zheng Qi nodded.

Zhao Qingqing looked up at Lu Yuanzhou who was driving and asked in a low voice: "I heard from Ranran that you wanted to discuss cooperation with Lu Yuanzhou. Have you reached an agreement?"

Zheng Qi shook his head: "Not yet."

"Why haven't you reached an agreement yet? We have the relationship with Ranran, so we have to give some consideration to the Buddha. Did Lu Yuanzhou reject you?" When Zhao Qingqing saw Zheng Qi shaking his head, she slapped his thigh and said angrily.

Zheng Qi: “….”

Talking about cooperation doesn't seem that simple, does it? It's not like buying vegetables in the market, where you can just look at them, choose them, and pay for them. There are many things and factors to consider, and it takes a long time just to send people to conduct on-site inspections.

Before Zheng Qi could say anything, Lu Yuanzhou, who was driving, spoke first.

Lu Yuanzhou put his hands on the steering wheel, his eyes fixed on the road ahead, and glanced at the two people in the back seat of the car.

"Zhao Qingqing, if it weren't for the fact that you and Ranran are best friends, do you think Zheng Qi could enter the Lu Group without an appointment? Not to mention that he has been with me all day today, under normal circumstances, he would not contact me directly to discuss cooperation."

"Today, I have made an exception for you."

Lu Yuanzhou's words were sharp and direct.

Zhao Qingqing curled her lips, crossed her arms and stared at the person driving: "Lu Yuanzhou, after all, you and my brother have known each other for so many years, and my brother and you are still close, you..."

Lu Yuanzhou chuckled and said seriously, "Haha - Zhao Qingqing, Miss Zhao, you really are a lady who doesn't care about worldly things. Your brother is your brother, and you are you. Don't talk about the relationship between your brother and me. Let's talk about the facts. If the Lu Group and your Su Company compete for an opportunity, do you think your brother will give the opportunity to decide the direction of the company to our Lu Group?"

As soon as Lu Yuanzhou finished speaking, the entire carriage fell into silence.

Zhao Qingqing pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.

Fighting for an opportunity, her brother might... No, her brother would definitely take care of his own company first, as for the Lu Group...

Seeing her at a loss, Zheng Qi felt distressed. He patted Zhao Qingqing on the shoulder and comforted her, "Qingqing, some things are not as simple as you think. Even if President Lu agrees to cooperate with me for Madam Lu's sake, the directors and senior executives of the Lu Group will have objections."

"If the cooperation fails, it will affect Mr. Lu's image in the company, which will be a loss."

"Besides, cooperation is inherently troublesome, and we all need to be patient. I didn't expect to reach a deal on cooperation this time..."

Zhao Qingqing had good intentions. She wanted Zheng Qi to quickly finish discussing cooperation with Lu Yuanzhou so that they could have fun in Haicheng and then return to Sucheng.

Although Zhao Qingqing had also worked in her family's company for half a year, the area she was responsible for was not negotiating cooperation with manufacturers, so naturally she did not understand these things.

"sorry, I do not know."

"It's okay, you don't have to apologize. I will talk to Mr. Lu about the cooperation. However, I also have to thank you and Mrs. Lu..." Zheng Qi raised his hand and touched the top of Zhao Qingqing's head and said gently.

Zhao Qingqing raised her eyes and met Zheng Qi's tender eyes: "Thank us?"

Shen Anran and Lu Yuanzhou looked at each other and pricked up their ears to listen.

Zheng Qi: "Thanks to your relationship, I was able to save a lot of time. Otherwise, I would have to wait for Mr. Lu's appointment for a long time, and I might not even get one."

"After all, the Zheng family's company is not in Haicheng. There are many companies that want to cooperate with the Lu Group. The companies in Haicheng alone have to line up in a long queue..."

What Zheng Qi said was true. In Haicheng, companies waiting to cooperate with Lu Group had to wait until a year or even longer. Some companies were so small that Lu Group didn't even look at them.

However, the market value of all companies that cooperated with the Lu Group has increased by who knows how many times...

After Zheng Qi's explanation, Zhao Qingqing nodded, not quite understanding.

There was a red light ahead, so Lu Yuanzhou stepped on the brakes and stopped. Shen Anran turned to look at Lu Yuanzhou and said silently, "Zheng Qi is a good person, and his character is good."

Lu Yuanzhou understood what Shen Anran said, and he curled the corners of his lips and smiled.

He asked Zheng Qi to go to the company with him. After a series of detailed discussions, he found that Zheng Qi was indeed a talent. He wanted to cooperate with Lu Group on new energy electric vehicles and gain a foothold in Su City through new energy electric vehicles.

The Zheng family company has always been managed by Zheng Qi's mother. Now, Zheng Qi has returned from studying abroad. New energy is an indispensable part of future development, and he also wants to let his mother retire and enjoy a good life.

The Lu Group is involved in many electronic product projects, large and small, and its scientific research and development are among the best in the country.

Zheng Qi wanted to cooperate in the development of new energy vehicles. The Lu Group had this idea but had been dragging its feet on implementing it.

Now that Zheng Qi mentioned it, Lu Yuanzhou was also very moved...

On the way back to Lingxi Lake Villa No. 1, none of the four of them spoke again.

It was not until they returned to the villa that Lu Yuanzhou called Zheng Qi into the study, and the two of them continued to chat about things related to new energy vehicles.

Shen Anran and Zhao Qingqing went to the underground floor to play games together.

Only when the housekeeper came to call them for dinner did Shen Anran and Zhao Qingqing turn off the game and go to eat.

After the two of them finished dinner, they didn't see Lu Yuanzhou and Zheng Qi coming down to eat. Shen Anran asked the housekeeper: "Uncle Fu, why don't Lu Yuanzhou and the others come down to eat?"

Housekeeper: "Madam, Mr. Zheng and Mr.'s dinner has been sent up, so don't worry. Mr. Zheng also said that if you feel sleepy, you can go to bed first. He and Mr. Zheng may chat until very late."

Chatting till late?

Shen Anran and Zhao Qingqing looked at each other and said, "I see. In that case, let's clear the table."

The housekeeper nodded: "Yes, ma'am."

Shen Anran turned to the lazy and comfortable Zhao Qingqing and asked, "Are you going to sleep now or play games for a while?"

Zhao Qingqing's eyes lit up, and she raised her hand and put it on Shen Anran's shoulder and said cheerfully, "Of course we're going to play games. It's not even nine o'clock yet, so let's play a few more rounds."
