My ex-boyfriend is looking forward to my bankruptcy

After hearing what he said, Qu Tao blinked in confusion. Didn't he leave just to help him? How could he owe him a wife?

Could it be... A sudden idea came to Qu Tao's mind, with a slightly flattering smile.

"You know it all?"

Without waiting for Xi Mozhou to speak, Qu Tao curled her moist red lips, her expression slightly aggrieved.

"That's all your fault. You've been suppressing my company all day long. They've been speculating behind my back about some deep-seated feud between us. So I can only say that I stole your wife three years ago. You're not really going to ask me to compensate you with a wife, are you?"

What the hell is going on? Xi Mozhou looked at him for a few seconds as if he were an idiot. He didn't bother to explain and just continued with what he said.

"Yes, since you took my wife away, I need you to take care of me, right?"

Shit, so the reason I went to see him these times was because...

Qu Tao put away his flattering smile and put his hand on his chest.

"If Mr. Xi has a need, all he needs is a single word. There are definitely many people lining up. There's really no need to be irritated with me."

"But..." Xi Mozhou hooked his hand under his chin, and gently brushed his lips with the tip of his thumb, "I have no choice but to bite you."

Qu Tao's face turned completely cold.

"You think I'm a snack, get lost..."

Beat, bite, and destroy!

After a long time, Qu Tao finally calmed down. The man glanced at the messy clothes on the floor, rested his head on his arms, and looked calm.

"Like this?"

The room, which had just been quiet for a while, became turbulent again because of a sentence.

Qu Tao slept until the afternoon and woke up with pain all over his body as if the bones were falling apart.

Looking at the extremely tired man who was still asleep, and thinking back to last night, Qu Tao gathered all his strength and kicked him under the bed.

"you..."

The man got up from the floor in anger, but when he saw the bruises on his neck, he swallowed the rest of his words and returned to the bed in a flattering manner.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Qu Tao used a pillow to block his body from leaning over, and pointed to the bedroom door.

"Get out of my house now."

"Is it still so popular? How about...?"

Before Xi Mozhou could finish his words, he was kicked under the bed again. A few minutes later, he was kicked out of the bedroom along with his clothes.

Qu Tao did not go to the company that day, and surprisingly, Assistant Wang did not call him either.

After two days of quiet rest at home, Assistant Wang showed up at his door early on Monday.

"What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

Qu Tao rarely gives Assistant Wang a good face now because of his instigation and forcing him to do things. Assistant Wang looked at the time and reminded him.

"Mr. Qu, I reported to you a few days ago that we will be participating in the bidding on Monday."

"Didn't I tell you I'm not going? If you want to go, go by yourself."

After Qu Tao finished speaking, he was about to close the door, but Assistant Wang got in the gap in time.

"Mr. Qu, if you don't like it, you can just stand there for a few minutes and then leave. Can we just go through the motions to give the city government some face?"

At the bidding site, after Qu Tao walked in, he saw many familiar faces again. Surprisingly, Xi Mozhou was not among them.

"You said you'd stand there for a few minutes and then leave. Can we go now?"

Qu Tao stayed in the corner for a few minutes and was about to leave when Assistant Wang grabbed his sleeve with a pleading look on his face.

"Mr. Qu, please wait a moment. Since we're here, can we wait until the city leader finishes speaking before leaving?"

"Excessive."

Although Qu Tao said this, he was no longer in a hurry to leave. Under the guidance of Assistant Wang, he found their seats and sat down.

The bidding site was like a small auditorium. As the top ten companies in the tobacco market, their seats were arranged in the second row. The first row in front of him belonged to the Difeng Group, but no one had sat down yet.

"Are you Mr. Qu from Yuanhang Group?"

The man sitting on the seat next to his right spoke to him with a smile. Qu Tao was stunned for a few seconds before looking at him.

Mainly because he had been used to being ignored recently, Qu Tao didn't react immediately.

"Are you..." Qu Tao glanced at the sign on the table in front of him, "Mr. Mu from the Silver Phoenix Group?"

"Yes, I've met Mr. Qu twice before, but you left before I could even say hello. I didn't expect to have such a chance to sit with you this time."

The man was about thirty years old and had a gentle smile on his face. Qu Tao didn't know what to say and just smiled at him politely.

The Yinfeng Group is one of the top three companies in the tobacco market, but I heard that their boss, Mu Jingyan, has always kept a low profile.

In the silence, Mu Jingyan seemed to remember something and took out a business card from his bag and handed it over.

"Mr. Qu, this is my business card."

It was rare for a company boss to take the initiative to show goodwill to him, a boss who was about to go bankrupt. After Qu Tao took it, he asked Assistant Wang for his business card and handed it to him.

"Mr. Mu, this is my business card. I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

"Of course, it's an honor."

The bidding time was about to begin. Qu Tao looked towards the podium in front of him and saw Xi Mozhou and Shen Yichen walking in together from the door.

"You said this bidding was for school construction. Which school?"

Qu Tao realized it belatedly and asked Assistant Wang beside him. When he heard the name of the school he had applied for, he secretly complained in his heart.

What did Shen Yichen's school need? Why did they need to put it out for bidding? Why not just ask Xi Mozhou to donate? It's not like he hasn't donated before.

Qu Tao suddenly thought of the price he filled in on the bid. Although he knew it was just a formality, he had indeed quoted the lowest price at that time.

"Is there a printed copy of the bidding document?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Assistant Wang was confused, and Qu Tao didn't bother to explain and urged him anxiously.

"Give me the backup and a pen."

Qu Tao took the pen and backup from Assistant Wang and raised the prices of all products by half.

"Throw away the old one and use this one."

Since it is just a formality, it should be done in the same way. Why should you disclose your bottom line?

Assistant Wang glanced at the price above, nodded, and put it back into the folder. Mu Jingyan, who had witnessed the whole process, lowered his voice to him.

"Mr. Qu, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, it's just that my inventory is a little low right now, and I'm worried about missing the school schedule."

Mu Jingyan saw through it but didn't say anything. He was silent for a while, then smiled and nodded.

"It seems that Mr. Qu and I are indeed destined to be together. We even have the same ideas. How about we have a drink together after the bidding is over?"

"no problem."

Xi Mozhou, who was sitting in the front row, frowned when he heard the conversation between the two. It was rumored that Mu Jingyan rarely took the initiative to show goodwill to others.

"Mr. Qu, have you forgotten that you already have an appointment with me? Why did you agree to Mr. Mu's appointment?"
