"What bad luck!" Bai Xuzhi cursed and said to several other bosses who were invited out together: "Jiang Qingyan still thinks he is still the same as he was a few years ago?"

"Venture capital isn't as profitable now, so is it really that easy to start a business? Can we let them squeeze us out so easily?"

"If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll think he can call the shots in J City."

Some of the remaining CEOs agreed, while others were worried: "But Jiang Qingyan is indeed a business genius. What if the connections and resources he has can really help him make a fortune?"

"The only ones who can support him now are the Ming and Pei families, but they are not cut out for this. We've been running this business for so many years, and he wants to destroy it?"

Bai Xuzhi didn't take it seriously: "Call him Mr. Jiang, he's just a young boy."

At this moment, Huo Yingran's father, Huo Zhengsong, was brought over by the driver.

Bai Xuzhi saw the person coming and quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Hey, Brother Huo, you really gave Jiang Qingyan face. Why did you come in person?"

The remaining CEOs also echoed: "Hello, Chief Huo."

"Brother Bai, since you are here, why don't you help me stop my rebellious son from offending President Jiang? Isn't this making things difficult for me?" Huo Zhengsong's forehead was covered with sweat.

Bai Xuzhi sneered: "Who the hell is Jiang Qingyan? He couldn't continue his investment business, so he went into business. Now, for a woman, he doesn't even want to make money. I think the Jiang family will collapse sooner or later."

Huo Zhengsong asked in surprise, "Did you and Mr. Jiang break up?"

He thought about it carefully and said, "But it's no wonder. Mr. Jiang has obtained the operating rights of several domestic and international freight railways. There is really no need to cooperate with you anymore."

"But don't blame me for not warning you. I'm afraid the higher-ups will have to directly provide Jiang with escort for the freight. Don't even think about sabotaging anything, or the consequences will be unpredictable when they come to justice!"

Bai Xuzhi's face turned pale: "You...what did you say?"

"This news hasn't been made public yet. I'm just giving you a heads-up. The Jiang family is now making great strides forward, so don't rush into any trouble."

"Okay, I won't say any more. I have to hurry and get my rebellious son out."

Although these words are only a few sentences, they reveal a huge amount of information.

Jiang Qingyan was able to operate without anyone noticing, hiding it from so many prominent families in J City, and directly operating with a state-owned license. The breadth of his network of contacts and the financial backing he possessed had already surpassed most people's impression of the Jiang family over the past year.

Moreover, they have fixed sales channels and absolute priority guarantees, which is what other industrial enterprises envy the most.

When all companies are taking a conservative attitude and dare not expand the market easily, Jiang Qingyan goes against the trend and is likely to make a fortune by taking advantage of the favorable situation.

The few families invited by Ming Tongchen were now woken up by a bucket of cold water.

They suddenly came to their senses and understood why so many noble families were present today, but they were the only ones invited out.

Because they are the only ones who have not yet realized one fact - who has the final say in J City.

On the other side, after Ming Tongchen cleared out a few annoying people, Jiang Qingyan finally let go of the person in his arms.

"How come you knew today that you were going to come and complain to me?"

Fu Miaoxi twirled her fingers awkwardly, "I really thought I handled it neatly, but I didn't expect her to be so persistent."

"Clean and neat?" Jiang Qingyan scoffed. "Would you like me to teach you how to write the word 'clean and neat'?"

Fu Miaoxi scratched his face and said, "I was just worried that if I did something too extreme, it would really affect your business."

After saying this, she looked at Jiang Qingyan's expression in a secretive manner, wanting to see whether today's incident would cause him any substantial losses.

How could Jiang Qingyan not understand her little thoughts, but he didn't explain. He smiled and said, "So I'm so useless? Do I need Fu Miaomiao to sacrifice herself to complete my work?"

Fu Miaoxi pointed her fingers in pairs and didn't dare to respond rashly.

"What a fool."

Seeing that Fu Miaoxi really thought so, Jiang Qingyan shook his head helplessly: "Your grandmother left you something, and you kept it with you for so long. Now that you have lost it, you have to compromise for that kind of person. Is it worth it?"

He touched Fu Miaoxi's face and said, "I told you that you don't have to suffer this kind of grievance."

Jiang Qingyan turned to Li Zhen and said, "Tell them to bring the things to me."

Li Zhen immediately made a phone call, and after a while, someone came over with a red cloth plate.

There was a chain of anklets on the cloth, with a white and shiny little rabbit on it.

Jiang Qingyan picked it up, put it in front of Fu Miaoxi's eyes, and asked her, "Do you like it?"

Fu Miaoxi was stunned when she looked at the jade pendant that looked almost the same as the peach wood rabbit she had lost.

Jiang Qingyan ignored her answer and squatted down. In public, he bent down and tied the anklet for Fu Miaoxi.

Many of the bosses around were discussing the Bai family's arrogance, but when they saw this scene, they fell silent for a moment.

Then, in order to hide their surprise, they gathered into groups of three or five and started chatting animatedly.

Now most of the powerful circles in J City know that Jiang Qingyan has a pampered girl who he holds in his hands and cannot be beaten or scolded.

At night, Fu Miaoxi soaked in the hot spring with only the part above her nose exposed. Thinking about the scene of Jiang Qingyan kneeling in public for a long time, her heart seemed to jump out.

Ahhh! Fu Miaoxi screamed silently and buried herself in the water, but she couldn't hold her breath for long, so she stuck her head out again.

She is really useless!

It wasn't the first time that Jiang Qingyan half-knelt in front of her, but whether she was there in the afternoon or now when she recalled that scene, she couldn't suppress the throbbing in her heart.

While eating, she heard Ming Tongchen mention that there was a murder lawsuit in the Bai workshop and it had been exposed by several rivals.

Although it won't cause any major waves in the short term, because the Bai family was kicked out of this project by the Jiang family, it also affected many companies that were close to their family. In the long run, decline is inevitable.

Jiang Wanyi was standing next to her at the time, using exaggerated mouth shapes to gesture to her: A man would risk his life for the love of his beloved.

Although he knew in his heart that this was impossible, Jiang Qingyan was such a rational and mature person, with his superb business skills, he must have his own interests in mind when targeting the Bai family.

But faced with such obvious favoritism and protection, how could anyone not be moved?

For this reason, she dodged and dodged Jiang Qingyan today, not even daring to look him in the eye, for fear of revealing her inner thoughts.

Fu Miaoxi slapped the water, as if to kill the beating heart in her heart and calm herself down.

"Fu Miaomiao?"

Jiang Qingyan's voice came from outside the hot spring box, and it was particularly pleasant amidst the gurgling water.

It’s over, Fu Miaoxi thought, why does she feel affectionate just by listening to Jiang Qingyan’s voice now?

She collected her thoughts and said, "Uncle, I'm here."

"I'm in."

Fu Miaoxi exclaimed, and before she could refuse, she heard the sound of the door opening.

She quickly covered her chest and retreated to the edge of the pool.

Just as he was about to stand firm, his eyes met Jiang Qingyan's at the door.

Fu Miaoxi wore a swimsuit when taking a hot spring bath. The two-piece swimsuit was not very conservative, but it was designed for young girls. It did not deliberately go for the sexy route, but only highlighted the girl's energetic lines.

"Coward, are you so afraid of me?"

Jiang Qingyan stood beside the hot spring pool and raised his eyebrows at Fu Miaoxi, who was looking at him as if facing a great enemy.

"Uncle... Uncle, why are you here?"

The hot spring pool where Fu Miaoxi is located is not particularly large, but it is the best one in the entire villa.

Ming Tongchen specially left it to Jiang Qingyan, and Jiang Qingyan also instructed that if Fu Miaoxi wanted to come to take a hot spring bath, she should be arranged here.

The overall design of this hot spring pool maintains the original ecological appearance of water falling from a small hill. The large and small stones around it are stacked together to form a hot spring pool.

The water inlet is set at a high place and pours down from several rocks like a small waterfall.

The water outlet is hidden in the cracks of the rocks under the pool. The speed of the water in and out is dynamically adjusted with the height of the water surface to ensure that the water in the pool maintains a certain temperature.

The most distinctive feature is that the walls and ceiling of this box can be dismantled at any time.

When it snows in winter, you can soak in the hot springs and enjoy the beautiful snow scenery from the height of the manor.

Jiang Qingyan almost forgot why he came.

When he pushed the door open, he imagined that Fu Miaoxi must be enjoying the bath and being the least wary at this moment.

But I forgot what a beautiful scene there would be in the pool.

The girl's naturally pale skin, shimmering in the mist like the finest jade, was a bit thin, but her features were so well-developed that they were hard to ignore.

Jiang Qingyan once lingered on her waistline lovingly, knowing that her figure could be described as that of a slim lady.

Although Fu Miaoxi covered her chest at this time, it made her appearance even more obvious, reminding Jiang Qingyan that there was a fascinating scenery there.

It took Fu Miaoxi's gentle question to bring him back to his senses.

Jiang Qingyan sighed calmly. His self-control was becoming increasingly vulnerable in front of Fu Miaomiao.

He turned back to his thoughts: "Fu Miaomiao, are you hiding something from me?"

"what?"

Fu Miaoxi was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Qingyan squatted down by the pool. His suit and tie looked out of place in the warm environment, and he seemed a little dangerous. "You've been acting so guilty all afternoon, you didn't even dare to look me in the eye. Are you hiding something from me?"

Fu Miaoxi could feel her face turning red again, but luckily she was in the water and the heat was spreading. Even if Jiang Qingyan saw it, she could say that it was the heat that was causing her redness.

"Not at all!"

"No?" Jiang Qingyan frowned. "Could it be that Huo Yingran scared her? So Fu Miaomiao is so timid?"

Fu Miaoxi was so angry that she stomped her feet in the pool: "I didn't! I was! I was..."

She suddenly had an idea: "I was scared by you!"

"By me?"

Fu Miaoxi nodded: "Bai Qiongzhi's father spoke so confidently, it can be seen that he must have a large business with you. If you say you don't want it, then don't want it."

Jiang Qingyan was puzzled: "What scares you?"

"What if you ever suffer a loss in the future and you blame it on me?"

Fu Miaoxi was talking nonsense, and the more she spoke, the more confident she became.

Jiang Qingyan was speechless for a moment, then stood up and walked around to the shore next to Fu Miaoxi, and flicked her forehead hard with his finger.

"I told you you were a coward, but I never thought you were such a coward. Let's not even talk about whether we can make money by cooperating with him. Even if we can, is such a small amount of money worth selling you out?"

Fu Miaoxi's hair was mostly wet. Standing in the water, she looked more pure and lovely than a lotus flower emerging from the water.

Jiang Qingyan hit Fu Miaoxi with a bit of force, and a circle of red marks appeared on her forehead.

"It hurts!" Fu Miaoxi reached out and rubbed her eyes, but her hands were full of water, which wet her eyes. She reached out to wipe her eyes again, but the more she rubbed, the blurrier her vision became.

Seeing Fu Miaoxi's pitiful look, Jiang Qingyan softened his heart: "Come here, I'll wipe it for you."

Upon hearing this, Fu Miaoxi lay down on the shore, closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and put her face in front of Jiang Qingyan.

In such an atmosphere, the superiority of Fu Miaoxi's facial features becomes more prominent.

Originally, her face was full of energy, and her pair of peach blossom eyes were sparkling and bright, enough to attract most people's attention, but it also overshadowed the beauty of her other facial features.

Now, the beauty's face is covered with water drops that are about to fall, her plump pink lips are half-open, her nose bone lines are delicate and small, her jaw line is clear and continuous, and her oval face seems to be smaller than his palm.

The whole face is like a sculptor's masterpiece, without a single flaw, yet it has a natural and pure quality.

The lotus emerges from clear water, naturally without any decoration, nothing more than this.

Jiang Qingyan took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the water droplets from her face.

As if she noticed her face getting dry, Fu Miaoxi opened her eyes and saw Jiang Qingyan loosely lifting her chin with one hand and wiping her ears with a handkerchief in the other.

Although he looked nonchalant, he revealed a fatal concentration.

"Uncle..."

Jiang Qingyan lowered his eyes and looked at her.

Fu Miaoxi forced a sweet smile on her face, dimples appearing and disappearing: "Thank you, uncle."

Jiang Qingyan stopped serving her and tapped the corner of her mouth: "What's the point of just talking?"

Without waiting for Fu Miaoxi to respond, he leaned down, half-knelt by the pool, and kissed her lips.

The scene was special, so Jiang Qingyan didn't dare to go deeper. It was just a light kiss with some soothing meaning.

When they separated, Jiang Qingyan touched Fu Miaoxi's face again.

"Fu Miaomiao, don't hide anything from me. It's meaningless to let your imagination run wild. You are a smart person and you know what is best for you."

Jiang Qingyan had an indifferent expression and a stern look in his eyes, making it impossible to imagine that he was pressing Fu Miaomiao for a kiss just a second ago.

Fu Miaoxi couldn't stand the fact that he always seemed to have the world under his control, so when he stood up to leave, she grabbed his hand.

Jiang Qingyan stopped where he was and looked back at Fu Miaoxi.

"Uncle," Fu Miaoxi's voice was crisp, "Aren't you going to take a hot spring bath? Could it be that because I've taken over your pool, you have nowhere else to soak?"

Full of provocation.

Jiang Qingyan smiled coldly upon hearing this, and held Fu Miaoxi's arm with his backhand: "Fu Miaomiao, you are so brave! Saying such things in a place like this, are you inviting me to take a bath with you?"

"Okay."

Jiang Qingyan finished speaking leisurely, and began to unbutton his shirt with his free hands.

"do not want!"

Seeing that this man really wanted to act like a hooligan, Fu Miaoxi quickly pulled her hand back and stepped back.

As a result, in a panic, he tripped over his left foot in the water and was about to fall into the pool. Jiang Qingyan quickly reached out to grab him, but he was splashed with a lot of water caused by Fu Miaoxi.
