C120 Bribery
To start again, of course she had to start again.
However, there were some things that needed to be figured out.
She didn't want to be a fool. She didn't want to be kept in the dark. She didn't want to keep being confused.
"It's not as simple as I thought. What do you mean?"
Qin Mo's eyes darkened slightly. Was the matter between her and Shen Ruo Bai not as simple as he had imagined?
"It's nothing. Mr. Qin, if you came here just because of Fan Xin Ran, I'm afraid this trip is not worth it. I think we can talk about the problem of the project."
Seeing Xia Jing take out the document, Qin Mo rubbed his forehead with a headache and came back again.
"Xiao Jing, other than work, can we talk about something else?" He smiled helplessly, his smile was very bitter.
"Something else? What does Mr. Qin want to talk about?"
Xia Jing looked at him seriously. Qin Mo opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything when he saw her serious face.
"Let's talk about work."
He was finally defeated by her.
Xia Jing's face revealed a smile as she handed the document to him. However, Qin Mo pushed the document back and looked at her. He said, "There is nothing wrong with this project. There are some things that you can solve by yourself. You don't need to go through me. Let's talk about something else this time."
Xia Jing looked at the document that was pushed back and frowned slightly.
Then she looked at Qin Mo in confusion, "Something else?"
"Yes, I'll be going abroad for business next week. I'm going to meet an important client. Are you interested in going with me?" Qin Mo paused and said, "If you can work with him, it will be very beneficial for the future development of the Xia Enterprise."
"You want me to develop the Xia Family's company overseas?" Xia Jing's eyes lit up.
With Qin Mo's identity, the customers he usually saw were definitely not ordinary people.
She didn't expect him to introduce her to a client.
"That depends on your ability." All he could do was to introduce her. However, whether or not they could reach an agreement was not something he could decide.
"I'll go with you." Of course, Xia Jing couldn't miss such a good opportunity.
As for her ability, in short, she would do her best to facilitate the cooperation.
"Alright, I'll come and pick you up at the airport next Wednesday."
Xia Jing personally sent Qin Mo off. According to Su An, she had completely become a money-grubber.
As long as there were benefits, those two eyes would definitely light up.
Just like how she looked when she sent Qin Mo out.
"Xiao Jing, so what if this handsome guy Qin is here to give you money?" Looking at Xia Jing's silly smile, Su An suddenly walked behind her and said faintly.
Xia Jing was shocked by her. "When did you come?"
"I saw that you sent the handsome brother Qin out, so I came to take a look. After all, this young man and woman are single and unmarried. When the two of them are alone together, it is very easy for them to create some sparks." Su An's smile was treacherous.
Actually, she was already very strange when Qin Mo came over to work with Xiao Jing.
Who was Qin Mo? He was a famous entrepreneur in the United States. He worked with first-tier brands and big companies in the country. Logically speaking, a small company like the Xia Corporation, which had yet to be listed, should not be placed in his eyes.
But for some reason, he came to her personally.
At first, she couldn't understand it either, but later on, when she saw that he was looking at Xiao Jing differently, she suddenly understood.
How was he here for the company? He was clearly here for someone.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Jing pushed Su An and turned around to leave.
Su An quickly followed, "If I'm talking nonsense, why are you blushing? Oh right, how did you and Handsome Qin get to know each other? "
In the past, Xiao Jing had always been raised at home by Shen Ruo Bai and didn't know much about the world. How could she know such a powerful person?
Speaking of how she met Qin Mo, Xia Jing suddenly stopped in her tracks. Suddenly, she thought of something and her expression became a little complicated.
The first time she met Qin Mo, it was Shen Ruo Bai who brought her there.
Other than Qin Mo, Shen Ruo Bai had never brought her to see any other customers.
And with Shen Ruo Bai's personality...
Perhaps, she could find a chance to ask Qin Mo about the first time they met each other.
"Xiao Jing, what are you thinking about?" Seeing Xia Jing's expression change constantly but she did not speak, Su An felt a little bored.
In fact, if a successful man like Qin Mo was really interested in Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing might consider it.
She had already investigated and found out that Qin Mo was a man who was all alone. He was not interested in women, and he was clean and upright. He could definitely be a good husband in the future.
"I'm just thinking that since you are so gossipy, it's such a pity that you don't want to be a reporter."
After Xia Jing finished speaking, she shook her head with a smile and walked straight into the elevator.
Su An was stunned on the spot for a long time before she regained her senses. She quickly pounced on her: "Xiao Jing, what do you mean? Tell me clearly, you can't be trying to fire me, right?
What reporter? She didn't like to gossip about celebrities. She only liked to gossip about Xiao Jing and everyone related to her.
Li Nan hid for a few days and finally came to the company.
He thought that after a few days, Xia Jing might let him go, but who knew that when he just arrived at the company, he was called to Xia Jing's office by Ai Mi.
Xia Jing called Ai Mi out and closed the door behind her. Li Nan could not help but straighten his body and not dare to look Xia Jing in the eye.
"Do you think that after hiding for a few days, things can be considered to have been avoided?" Xia Jing was originally dealing with the documents, but when she found out that Li Nan was coming to the company, she immediately pressed the phone in the secretary's office to inform Ai Mi to bring him over. At this moment, she still had not put down the pen in her hand and lightly tapped on the table: "You and Xie Yan are in cahoots, aren't you?"
She had just asked Xie Yan about it, but this person had already disappeared. He really retreated quickly.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Li Nan pushed up his glasses and played dumb. "I haven't been feeling well these days, so I didn't come to the company. I will go to the Human Resources Department to make up the leave of absence."
"Li Nan, in your opinion, am I really that stupid?" Xia Jing suddenly threw down her pen, stood up, and walked towards Li Nan step by step: "You, Xie Yan, Shen Ruo Bai, do you all think that I'm easy to fool?"
When it came to Shen Ruobai, Li Nan's face could no longer hold it in anymore. The corner of his mouth twitched, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"That's what you think, isn't it?" Xia Jing sneered and suddenly threatened, "Tell me everything clearly before I say anything. What have you been doing with Shen Ruo Bai these days? Was it related to the last time she went missing?"
At first, she had no idea what was wrong with Shen Ruo Bai's behavior. The only thing she could think of was that these few people had been missing for the past few days.
Shen Ruo Bai did not dare to tell her the exact details of those few days. It meant that it was not a small matter.
It was just that she didn't understand why he had to hide it from her.
No matter what, would letting her know have any effect on them?
Or was it purely because he didn't trust her?
"Sister-in-law, don't make wild guesses. I won't tell you." Li Nan was never very good at lying, so he might as well be honest. No matter what she asked, even if something happened, he wouldn't say it.
"I won't tell you. It seems that something really happened." Xia Jing stared straight into Li Nan's eyes: "To be honest, I don't expect you to tell me the truth. I just want to confirm with you that there is something else going on."
And now, she had gotten the answer.
Li Nan's expression immediately changed.
He had accidentally fallen into her trap.
"Alright, you can leave now. I think Su An should have something to tell you." Xia Jing walked straight back to her desk and really didn't continue asking.
Li Nan frowned, but he didn't want to leave.
After being silent for a long time, he opened his mouth again: "Sister-in-law, there are some things that you should pretend not to know. Your relationship with big brother needs to maintain the current situation, but big brother to you... "
Li Nan didn't continue. He just sighed and left.
Xia Jing watched his back in a daze. Shen Ruo Bai treated her? How was it?
What was he sighing about?
Xia Jing couldn't figure out what Shen Ruo Bai had been up to recently.
The air in the manor was very fresh. It was rare for Xia Jing to come here uninvited and buy tonics for the old man.
The old man laughed so hard that he couldn't find his eyes on her, "Girl, you finally have some conscience to come and visit my old man. But if you want to come, then come. You don't have to bring anything with you. You are treating me like a stranger."
"That's different. The main reason why I brought something here today is to bribe you." Xia Jing handed the things to Su Yu and walked over to sit next to the old man, "Otherwise, why do you think I brought things for you after coming here so many times?"
When the old man heard this, he deliberately glared at her unhappily: "You little girl, you are too honest with your words. Why don't you just change the subject? Also, what is there to bribe about my old man? I won't accept your bribe."
He used to think that this girl was boring, but now he realized that he was wrong. [This girl is so cunning. She rarely comes back to see me, yet she has brought something, yet she still wants to bribe me.] She knew that her father wouldn't accept her, so she just said it openly.
It made his father feel a bit awkward.
He had already accepted the item, so how could he not let her bribe him?
"Teacher has taught us to be honest since we were young. Our language is broad and profound. Saying things in a roundabout way is too much of a waste of brainpower." Xia Jing poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip before saying, "The tea here is still the best, old mister."
"If you like it, I'll ask Su Yu to bring you some tea when we go back. However, what you said just now made my old man suspicious. Did you really think that my tea was delicious, or did you intentionally get close to my old man in order to bribe me?" His father had always been a smart person.
The girl couldn't just understand what she meant on the surface.
"Did you see through it?" Xia Jing's hand that was drinking the tea paused for a moment before she put down the teacup and chuckled, "Don't be so nervous. Actually, it's not a big deal. To you, it doesn't hurt or itch. It's just a small matter."
The more she spoke, the more worried the old man became. The smile on his face slowly faded as he looked at her seriously.
