My ex-boyfriend is looking forward to my bankruptcy

The car arrived at the hotel at 6:15, and there was still nearly an hour before the 7:00 banquet.

Qu Tao called Assistant Wang and went to a nearby shopping mall with Han Feng. There was a jewelry counter on the first floor of the mall, so they could just stop by and take a look.

The mall is located in the city center and is bustling with customers, but the scene here is exactly the same as that in the coffee shop. The brand counter represented by Difeng next door is crowded with people, while their counter is very deserted.

"Taozi, I advise you to let it go. You still like her in your heart, but she's clearly trying to torture you to death."

"Stop talking nonsense and see what you like. I'll give it to you."

The two came to the counter, and Qu Tao pointed to the dazzling array of jewelry in the glass cabinet. Han Feng became interested and started to choose immediately.

"So nice to me? Then I won't be polite."

"You're welcome. Consider it my wedding gift."

"Then I don't want it."

Han Feng withdrew his body, and Qu Tao smiled at him with ill intent.

"Okay, you said you don't want it, don't say later that I didn't give it to you."

"Trickster."

Qu Tao accompanied him to choose jewelry, and suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the mall.

Damn, could Xi Mozhou be here too?

Qu Tao looked towards the door and saw Assistant Wang following Xi Mozhou and walking towards them.

"Mr. Qu, please don't misunderstand me. I met Mr. Xi at the door."

If this person was not an old employee of the company and had not returned to China with him after spending two years abroad, he might really suspect that this person was a spy planted by Xi Mozhou next to him.

But he couldn't make any random guesses at the moment, because Xi Mozhou was walking towards them.

Maybe it was because of the erotic dream in the afternoon, but Qu Tao felt his cheeks getting hot. He hid behind Han Feng as if he had done something wrong.

"Senior Xi, long time no see."

Being pushed from behind, Han Feng smiled awkwardly at Xi Mozhou.

Xi Mozhou nodded politely at him and looked at the jewelry scattered on the glass cabinet.

"Pickin' out some jewelry?"

"Well, Taozi told me to pick whatever I want and he'll give it to me."

As Han Feng was speaking, he wanted to turn around and pull out someone hiding behind him, but was suddenly pinched by Qu Tao on the lower back.

"Oh...really?" Xi Mozhou pondered for a few seconds and looked behind him. "Mr. Qu is so generous, you wouldn't mind giving me an extra one, right?"

What did Xi Mozhou mean? He had done such a disgrace to him, and yet he still had the nerve to ask him for free jewelry?

Qu Tao looked away and pretended not to hear. Xi Mozhou walked past Han Feng and came in front of him.

"Why? Mr. Qu is reluctant?"

Forced to turn his gaze back, Qu Tao raised his hand angrily.

"Pick it up, pick it up. I'll give it to you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Well, as expected of Mr. Qu, you are so generous."

Qu Tao was too lazy to listen to his hypocritical talk and walked towards the mall exit without looking back. Suddenly, Xi Mozhou's voice came from behind.

"Assistant Wang, right? You heard what your boss said, right? Go, pack up all your jewelry and bring it to my office."

Fuck, no way? This bastard... can't I tell? Is he just saying it out of anger?

Qu Tao took only two steps before retreating back to Xi Mozhou.

"Mr. Xi, did you mishear? What I meant is that you can pick something you like like my friend and I'll give it to you."

"Oh, is that what Mr. Qu meant? Well, to prevent me from mishearing again, Mr. Qu, please help me pick one."

This...this dog man...is a real dog!

Qu Tao was furious but remained calm. He walked to the counter, looked upwards, and casually tapped the glass case.

"Pack this up and send it to Mr. Xi."

The arrival of the two people had already alarmed the store managers of the two counters. The store managers looked at the rings in the glass cabinet with some uncertainty on their faces.

"Mr. Qu, are you sure you want to give this to me?"

Qu Tao now just wanted to get rid of this matter quickly and didn't understand what the store manager wanted to express at all.

"Yes, quickly pack it up for Mr. Xi."

Qu Tao took the gift bag handed to him by the store manager and handed it to Xi Mozhou with a smile.

"Is President Xi satisfied? Can I leave now?"

Xi Mozhou had a half-smile on his face. After taking it, he had no intention of letting him go.

"Since Mr. Qu is so generous, I will also give him a gift as a token of my appreciation."

This guy is not done yet, right? When Qu Tao was brought to the Difeng counter by Xi Mozhou, his expression was still a little dazed, until he saw the ring on his hand, he came back to his senses.

"Mr. Xi, this is your ring. I can't afford to keep it."

Who would give a ring as a gift to others casually?

As Qu Tao spoke, he tried to take off the ring. Xi Mozhou waved the gift bag in his hand in front of him.

"Could it be that this thing can only be given by Mr. Qu and no one else can give it?"

"......"

Having lost face in front of Xi Mozhou, Qu Tao looked at the two people on both sides and kept scolding them on the way back to the hotel.

"I was so angry that I just pointed at something. What's wrong with you two? Are you suffering from premature Alzheimer's? Why didn't you warn me?"

Han Feng: "I thought you really wanted to give me a ring."

Assistant Wang: "You are the boss. I dare not say too much, let alone guess what you mean."

Qu Tao stopped and looked again at the two people walking beside him.

"Okay, you two wait for me."

When the three of them arrived at the banquet hall, Xi Mozhou was holding a wine glass and was surrounded by several people in a semicircle.

I was the one who left him behind and left the mall first, so how come he arrived faster than me?

Qu Tao thought that because of him, other companies looked down on him and did not dare to have business dealings with them. He took a glass of red wine from the tray brought by the waiter and walked over.

He made a lot of money abroad, but he couldn't stand this kind of trouble!

The two of them gave each other gifts in the mall. Although the process was not very pleasant, it was a gift-giving relationship after all. Xi Mozhou should give him some face.

As long as Xi Mozhou is willing to lift the suppression, other companies will inevitably make money.

"Mr. Xi, I didn't expect that we left the mall before you, but you arrived before us. You really are worthy of being Mr. Xi."

"Also, thank you Mr. Xi for the gift at the mall. I like it very much."

While Qu Tao was pretending to be flattering, he intended to make it clear to others that they had a close relationship, but he never expected that Xi Mozhou did not give him any face at all, and every word he said was heartbreaking.

"Look at how flattering Mr. Qu is. You walk and I drive, so I'm sure I'll get there before you. As for the gift Mr. Qu mentioned, didn't you give it first and then I returned the favor?"

It was true that he gave the gift first, but did Xi Mozhou forget something?

There were several people standing nearby, and Qu Tao didn't want to be laughed at, so he forced a smile.

"Boss Xi is such a joker. I'm flattering you, but it's also to curry your favor. In our tobacco market, who wouldn't want to curry your favor?"

Xi Mozhou crossed his arms over his chest and took a sip of red wine from the goblet, acting like a man of high rank.

"Mr. Qu is right, but I'm not someone who can be flattered by just anyone. By the way, Mr. Qu, I'm always here to help wherever he wants to open a store."
