C3 The Fish Took the Bait

"Shut up! Do you know how much Qin Yueyao is worth right now? " With a low growl, even if Qin Zhentao could not lower his face, he could not leave.

Gong Zeming had been helping the Qin family for Qin Rou's sake all these years, but he had clearly said that he would withdraw his investment before the end of the year. He had to think of a way to earn more money!

Clenching his teeth, Qin Zhentao straightened his collar, took a deep breath, and walked towards Qin Yueyao.

Gu Shaoming saw the bait out of the corner of his eye. He lowered his head slightly to her ear and said with a smile, "The bait is hooked."

Qin Yueyao replied with a slight smile. She deliberately ignored Qin Zhentao's direction and made small talk with the others.

"Director Qin." Forcibly interrupting, Qin Zhentao walked into the encirclement of a few bosses.

"Isn't this Director Qin of Qin's Corporation? Long time no see." Qin Yueyao raised her glass and greeted him as if he was an old acquaintance.

"Director Qin? You know Director Qin?"

"Eh? Speaking of which, your surname seems to be Qin?"

Being joked about, Qin Zhentao immediately started sweating profusely. He was afraid that someone would mention the past of adopting Qin Yueyao. She would definitely be unhappy...

"Everyone, don't joke with me. But it is my honor to have the same surname as Director Qin."

Qin Yueyao looked at Qin Zhentao as if he was being roasted on a fire. She was happy to see him.

"I am also very honored. I wonder if Director Qin has a daughter?"

Qin Zhentao's face suddenly turned pale when he was asked. He could only clench his teeth and admit, "There is indeed a daughter under me. Ningyue, come and greet Director Qin."

Qin Ningyue's eyes were filled with unwillingness when her name was called.

"Why?" However, before she could finish her words, she was fiercely stared at by Qin Zhentao and did not dare to speak. She could only greet Qin Yueyao, "Director Qin, hello..."

"This is your daughter Ling? She looks so familiar... Did we meet at the door just now? " Qin Yueyao raised her eyebrows slightly and pretended not to know Qin Ningyue.

Remembering that they had met at the door and Qin Ningyue had scolded her that she was a bastard, Qin Zhentao immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

But he could only follow Qin Yueyao's words and continue to talk awkwardly, "Director Qin is right, we did meet just now..."

"Haha, it's good that Director Qin remembers. Just now when we met Ling Qian-er at the door, she was very uncultured to me."

Pretending to emphasize the word 'upbringing', no matter how foolish Qin Ningyue was, she could still understand the meaning in Qin Yueyao's words.

"Hey, if you have anything to say, just say it! Don't beat around the bush!" Qin Ningyue looked at Qin Yueyao angrily, but was stopped by Qin Zhentao. "What are you shouting for? Step back!"

Qin Zhentao then turned to look at Qin Yueyao and smiled awkwardly, "My family's daughter was spoiled by me too. If she offends Director Qin, Director Qin should not argue with her."

"Haha, Chairman Qin is a reasonable person. How about this, let your daughter apologize to me in front of everyone. I will let bygones be bygones for this matter."

Lightly swaying her wine cup, Qin Yueyao looked like she was watching a good show.

Her eyes instantly made Qin Ningyue extremely angry.

Ask her to apologize to her? There was no door at all!

His father pampered her so much. How could he let her apologize to this bastard?

However, before he could recover his senses, Qin Zhentao suddenly stared at her and said, "Ningyue, apologize to Director Qin."

"Dad! You want me to apologize to her? Are you sure?"

She was the legitimate daughter of Qin family. She had always been spoiled at home!

Why should Qin Yueyao apologize if she wants her to apologize! She was not convinced!

"Stinky girl! You're becoming more and more unreasonable! Hurry up and apologize to me!"

With so many people watching, Qin Zhentao had already lost all his face. He could not help but become agitated.

"I don't want it! I absolutely don't want to give this wild..."

Pah!!

Before he could finish the last three words, Qin Zhentao's palm had already hit him!

Qin Ningyue's ears instantly buzzed, and her face was in extreme pain.

She widened her eyes and looked at the furious Qin Zhentao in disbelief. She could not believe that her father, who had always doted on her, had actually hit her in front of everyone.

"Dad... You hit me?" Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant. Qin Ningyue covered her face in grievance and asked.

Qin Zhentao also looked embarrassed, but there were so many pairs of eyes watching. He could not back down and could only angrily scold with a cold face, "Beating you is considered light. You have offended Director Qin. She only wanted you to apologize. She was already kind to you. What face do you have to make noise here!"

"Dad... You're angry at me?" In her long life, she was usually held in the palm of her hand. This was the first time Qin Ningyue was scolded.

Chen Lan could not stand it anymore but she could not afford to offend Qin Yueyao. She could only step forward and pull Qin Ningyue, "My good daughter, you should listen to your dad and quickly apologize to Director Qin..."

Although she also hated Qin Yueyao, who asked Qin Yueyao to be so glorious that she could not afford to offend her?

Qin Ningyue did not expect that Chen Lan would also ask her to apologize and immediately stared at Qin Yueyao with hatred.

But seeing Qin Zhentao's eyes, she could only clench her teeth and lower her head to admit her mistake, "Director Qin, I'm sorry. I was rude before and contradicted you."

Damn that little slut! She actually dared to bully her like this today! In the future, she must teach her a lesson.

Seeing Qin Ningyue's unwillingness, Qin Yueyao still had a look of enjoyment on her face.

"Haha, don't worry. Since you have already apologized, I will naturally not remember my lowly conduct. Why would I lower myself to the level of a lass like you?"

While smiling and accepting the apology, her words made Qin Ningyue feel as if she had been slapped in the face in front of everyone. She was simply too ashamed to show her face.

She actually dared to compare her to a lowly person and a little girl? This was really going too far!

"It's good that Director Qin doesn't mind. Then I'll take my daughter away first." Chen Lan saw that Qin Ningyue was about to lose her composure again and quickly pulled Qin Ningyue away.

Qin Ningyue gave Qin Yueyao a hateful glare before covering her face and leaving in dissatisfaction.

"Thank you Director Qin for not caring about my daughter's offense." Afraid that Qin Yueyao would be unhappy because of Qin Ningyue's eyes again, Qin Zhentao hurriedly nodded his head to express goodwill towards Qin Yueyao.

Qin Yueyao retracted her gaze with ridicule and looked at Qin Zhentao. " Hehe, Director Qin is so strict with my daughter, why should I continue to fuss about it?"

She looked at Qin Zhentao with double meanings. Qin Yueyao seemed to be praising him.

Only Qin Zhentao knew that Qin Yueyao was mocking him for not disciplining her properly.

"Director Qin is too kind." With a thick skin, Qin Zhentao laughed. He nodded slightly and became more serious. "I am very fortunate to be able to attend Director Qin's banquet today. I wonder if I will have the chance to cooperate with Director Qin in the future."

Seeing Qin Zhentao being so straightforward, Qin Yueyao mocked him in her heart. Qin Zhentao was as shameless as always.

Even if she was chased out of the Qin family, he still had the face to talk about cooperation with her...

Qin Yueyao smiled and said with a calm expression, "Chairman Qin should be able to see that there are so many people here and many of them want to cooperate with me. We should discuss this matter in detail."

Seeing that Qin Yueyao did not buy it, Qin Zhentao's face darkened a little. "So what? In A City, other than the Gongming Corporation, there are also many people who want to cooperate with me. If there is a vast amount of help, the Qin's will undoubtedly be the strongest company. It will definitely be a perfect match..."

Qin Zhentao looked at Qin Yueyao with full confidence. He did not seem to be worried that Qin Yueyao would not agree at all.

Over the past few years, because of Qin Rou's matter, the Gong family had been helping the Qin family achieve their current status. Except for the Gongming of the Gong family, he really wasn't afraid of anyone else.

Looking at Gu Shaoming, Qin Yueyao couldn't help but laugh.

She didn't expect Qin Zhentao to be so wealthy. The Gong family had indeed given them a lot of courage.

"Although that's the case, the Qin's is so powerful. I don't think they need our help, right?" Qin Yueyao smiled and looked at the other directors. "Although the other companies are not as wealthy as the Qin's, I am confident. As long as they cooperate with me, they will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Gongming very soon."

The corner of Qin Yueyao's mouth slightly curled up. Her smile was filled with confidence.

Immediately, the other bosses were overjoyed. "That's right. The Qin's is indeed powerful enough. We really need to cooperate with the vast and mighty..."

"Director Qin, I wonder what conditions are needed to cooperate with Vast Expanse..."

Someone had already impatiently squeezed to Qin Zhentao's side and took the initiative to chat with Qin Yueyao.

"Haha, there are no conditions. I only care about character. People with human faces and beast hearts should stay away from me." As she said this, Qin Yueyao's eyes swept across Qin Zhentao.

Qin Zhentao's face instantly turned ashen. He did not expect Qin Yueyao to be so sarcastic towards him.

At this moment, Qin Zhentao could no longer tolerate it. Seeing that Qin Yueyao no longer had the mood to talk to him, he angrily turned around and left.

Watching his back, Qin Yueyao's smile became even deeper.

It had been five years, and she finally let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Qin Zhentao's discomfort, she couldn't help but feel good.

"You are still smiling? Aren't you afraid that it will be too stimulating and he will give up on working with you?"

Lowering his voice, he whispered into her ear. Gu Shaoming looked like a drowning pet. The two of them looked like a couple to outsiders.

"I'm not afraid." Qin Yueyao smiled brightly and her eyes were full of certainty.

After rejecting him, he would definitely want to bite her hook even more. Qin Zhentao was so greedy, he would definitely not let go of this money-making tree...

Gu Shaoming did not say anything more. He knew that she had achieved her goal and started to seriously accompany her to deal with these bosses and choose some suitable partners.

The two of them stood together like a pair of male and female attendants. All the other young ladies and young masters were envious.

It also made the eyes of the men who had just entered become deep.

"Oh my god... Is that Director Gong?"

Around them, a daughter of a prestigious family recognized the man who had just walked in.

"Wow, he's so handsome! Director Gong actually came to attend this banquet?"

When Qin Yueyao heard the word 'Palace', she immediately felt a sharp gaze on her back.

Subconsciously, she looked over and her bright eyes collided with a deep gaze...

How could it be him...

Qin Yueyao's face turned slightly pale and her body stiffened a little, "Why, why did he come..."

Her heart instantly tightened. He should not be on the invitation list. Why would he appear here?

"I am not sure either. I did not send him an invitation at all." He looked at Gong Zeming with a gloomy expression. Gu Shaoming seemed as if he was facing a great enemy. He unleashed all the energy in his body.

With leisurely steps, Gong Zeming arrived in front of the two of them with a cold and arrogant aura.

He never would have thought that the financial queen who had returned to the country today would be Qin Yueyao...

Staring into her eyes, he could not help but frown slightly. However, his deep gaze was exceptionally deep, making it impossible for others to see what he was thinking.

After a moment, as if he did not know Qin Yueyao, he elegantly extended his hand.

"Hello, Director Qin. I have come uninvited. Please forgive me." His words were polite, but Gong Zeming's aura was arrogant.

It had been many years since they last met, but the aura around him did not decrease. It made Qin Yueyao feel chills all over her body just by seeing him.
