Yan Zirong surveyed her surroundings. It was completely empty. Only a few people were quietly having their meal. The corner of his mouth twitched as he raised his teacup and took a sip to calm himself down.

Just as she put down the teacup, Yan Zirong seemed to have thought of something and looked towards the two of them. Unfortunately, the hazy curtain was in front of them, completely blocking their view.

That woman seemed to be right, Zi'an? Could it be such a coincidence? Yan Zirong held her breath as she stared at the two of them as they sat at a nearby table.

"This place is pretty good. It's pretty quiet."

The moment the familiar voice was heard, Yan Zirong's head exploded with a "weng" sound. God, so this world was just that small. The person called Zi'an was indeed Qiao Zi'an.

That voice, that voice that despised her ruthlessly, Yan Zirong thought she would never recognize it wrongly.

The two of them did not close the curtain, so even though it was a bit blurry, it could still be vaguely seen.

Hearing Qiao Zi'an's words, the woman didn't say anything more. She looked around in disdain and poked the teacup in front of her with a bit of depression.

Even though Qiao Zi'an could clearly feel the dissatisfaction of the other party, he remained indifferent. He just picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for the woman. The tea here is not bad, I don't know if you've tasted it yet. "

The woman picked up the teacup, closed her eyes, took a sniff of it, and then sipped the tea with a proud expression on her face, "Of course, I don't need you to say that."

While saying that, he picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Qiao Zi'an as well, "All of my tea here is the early tea that is picked from the top quality tea trees. Even the person who picks the tea has to be a pretty girl, don't you think so?"

Their conversation wasn't loud, but the hall was very quiet, so Yan Zirong could hear every word of their conversation.

What made Yan Zirong surprised was that she didn't expect the person who talked so coquettishly would be the owner of the Crystal Palace. From the sound of his voice, he was probably only in his twenties or thirties.

However, Yan Zirong was more concerned about the relationship between this woman and Qiao Zi'an. If it was a customer relationship, just by her acting like Qiao Zi'an was acting like a spoiled child, it didn't seem like it. If it was a relationship of a man and a woman, then Qiao Zi'an's attitude was too cold.

"Miss Li, let's talk about work matters." Qiao Zi'an didn't go along with what the woman said and changed the topic.

"There's no hurry for work." Obviously, Miss Li was not anxious at all, "A few days ago I found a pretty good wine cellar, and there were a lot of precious red wine. How about it? Do you want to come with me and have a taste?"

Yan Zirong's heart thumped when she heard this. It's over. They were going to fight over each other. If the other party were to offer a wine that was even better than his, then he would have even fewer chips.

Yan Zirong's mind worked quickly as she considered how to make this Miss Li's suggestion come to naught without giving her any trouble. However, before Yan Zirong could come up with a solution, Qiao Zi'an had already helped her solve this problem.

"Miss Li, work is more important." Qiao Zi'an answered very straightforwardly without the slightest hesitation. Yan Zirong even started to doubt the accuracy of the information that Ning Xia revealed to her.

The development of the situation was not within Yan Zirong's expectations. She decided to wait and see, then she would react to the situation.

"Qiao Zi'an, don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. I gave you so much money and pestered you for so many days just to talk about work." Being rejected repeatedly by Qiao Zi'an, Miss Li was obviously very angry.

Qiao Zi'an put down his tea cup calmly and stood up to leave without any hesitation. "Since Miss Li has said so, there's no point in staying here any longer."

Yan Zirong thought to herself, this Qiao Zi'an really has some integrity to him. However, based on his previous attitude, he could still be considered to have recuperated by being able to speak to Miss Li in such a polite manner.

"Qiao Zi'an, what do you mean?" Qiao Zi'an didn't care about it, but that didn't mean that Miss Li would just let it go. Qiao Zi'an didn't care about it, but it didn't mean that Miss Li would just let it go.

Qiao Zi'an's expression immediately darkened. His originally cold face now looked even colder. It looked like it was covered in ice, which made people involuntarily step back.

"Lee Mumu, have you had enough trouble?" Qiao Zi'an turned around and stared at Lee Mumu as he asked word by word.

"Heh, Qiao Zi'an, you really think of yourself as a root? "I was just lucky enough to make a name for myself. If it wasn't for your good looks, do you think you could have gotten to where you are today?" Lee Mumu did not put the angry Qiao Zi'an in her eyes at all as she ridiculed him loudly in front of everyone in the hall.

Yan Zirong's heart skipped a beat. It's over. Is the Century of War going to start soon? Wait, wait, that's not right. What Lee Mumu said just now about Qiao Zi'an, it's useless. No way, I was even pointing at him to help.

On second thought, Qiao Zi'an was someone that his teacher had recommended to the best of his ability. Even if he didn't believe Qiao Zi'an, he still had to trust his teacher.

Yan Zirong originally thought that Qiao Zi'an would retaliate aggressively, so much so that Yan Zirong was ready to rush out and stop him at any time. However, Qiao Zi'an, who was still full of murderous intent a moment ago, disappeared after hearing Lee Mumu's words.

"Is that so?" It was just a simple sentence, but it was a question that caused one to involuntarily hold their breath, "Then we'll just have to wait and see."

Qiao Zi'an did not continue arguing with Lee Mumu. He turned around and walked out of the restaurant gracefully.

Yan Zirong looked at Lee Mumu, who had an extremely ugly expression on her face, and suddenly felt some sympathy for her. The moment Qiao Zi'an turned around and left, she could already see the end of the Crystal Palace. It wasn't because she trusted Qiao Zi'an's strength, but because that person instantly released his aura, making people not dare to doubt what he said.

At this moment, Yan Zirong was suddenly curious about Qiao Zi'an's ability. She was curious about what kind of person he was, and more curious about whether his ability was the same as the rumors, able to topple the financial world and lead the economy.

The furious Lee Mumu swept all the teapots on the table to the ground after Qiao Zi'an left. She almost knocked over the table. After she finished venting, she stomped her feet on the ground and walked away.
