But there’s no rush, we can go to the second floor after we choose from the first floor.
Eventually, the two spent a long time trying to decide and still couldn’t make a decision.
Tang Qing was getting impatient.
"How about we go upstairs to choose?" suggested Tang Qing.
"Upstairs is very expensive," replied Lin Jiaxue.
"Don’t worry, money’s no issue for us. Let’s go, I’ll treat you," said Tang Qing as he took Lin Jiaxue by the hand and headed towards the stairs.
"Humph, let’s see if you’re still laughing after you see the prices upstairs," muttered Xi Shan, following behind them.
Lin Jiaxue was led by Tang Qing up to the second floor. Although she didn’t know how much money he had, he always bought her things without asking about the price, insisting on giving them to her regardless of her protests, so obviously he was not short of money.
When they arrived on the second floor, the decoration style was completely different. The dark color scheme and well-spaced-out goods on display indicated the expensive prices.
Tang Qing was quite satisfied with the goods, for the decoration style was decided by him. It was completely different from the bright and sunny first floor, which could deter average customers from looking. The intent wasn’t to drive people away; rather, it was just more suitable for this floor.
This time Tang Qing didn’t bother waiting for them to choose and instead started showing Lin Jiaxue around himself.
But he had barely walked a few steps when he ran into a familiar face.
"Little brother Tang, is this your girlfriend?" Dou Jiao, who was preparing to ’check out’, exclaimed when she saw Tang Qing and walked over. Looking at Lin Jiaxue whose hand Tang Qing was holding, she figured he must be with his classmate who is in the same class as her own cousin, Feng Sen.
She knew that Lin Jiaxue was not aware of Tang Qing’s company, thus she didn’t mention the word "boss".
"Ah, Jiao.. sister Jiaojiao."
Tang Qing felt like karma really came at him fast as his arch-nemesis appeared in an instant.
"Yeah, I brought her here to buy some clothes. Jiaxue, this is a sister I know called Dou Jiao, you can call her Sister Jiaojiao. The man next to her is her fiancé, Pan Yue, or Brother Pan. This is my girlfriend, Lin Jiaxue, and her classmate, Xi Shan," Tang Qing introduced everyone in turn.
"Sister Jiaojiao, Brother Pan, nice to meet you," Lin Jiaxue greeted politely.
Seeing Lin Jiaxue’s polite demeanor and traditional beauty, Dou Jiao was very satisfied. Her face broke into a smile as if she was looking at a future sister-in-law.
"The baby sister is very beautiful. You’re here to buy clothes? Don’t worry, I will help you pick, and I guarantee you will look good. I’ll treat you," Dou Jiao said generously.
"Let Tang Qing buy for me," said Lin Jiaxue in a quiet voice. She didn’t know Dou Jiao, so naturally she didn’t know whether this was just lip service or genuine.
"It’s okay, don’t be polite with your sister. Little brother Tang, you and Brother Pan go sit over there while we choose clothes. Xi Shan, right? Come with us, I will buy for you too," Dou Jiao said.
Lin Jiaxue looked at Tang Qing, waiting to hear what he would say.
Tang Qing nodded at her and said, "Jiaxue, you go with them."
"Alright." After she responded, she was pulled away by Dou Jiao to pick out clothes.
Xi Shan was also pulled along.
The two men were shown to the rest area, and the salesman brewed two cups of tea for them.
"Brother Pan, you still haven’t left yet?" Tang Qing took a sip of his tea. It was Longjing.
Pan Yue nodded and said, "Yeah, your sister refuses to give up her job under you no matter what. I plan to accompany her for a few more days. After going back and arranging my business, I will come back. It would be great if Sky Eye were located in Shanghai."
"Hehe, isn’t that simple? Why not just relocate your company’s headquarters here? You know that Jiaojiao’s grandparents are both here. Many people she knows and connections are here too, and, frankly, Shanghai is not your family’s sphere of influence. I know you are in the liquor agency business, so wouldn’t it not matter where the headquarters is located anyway? Just turn the Shanghai company into a branch office. It all depends on whether you’re able to give up Shanghai’s environment," said Tang Qing.
Tang Qing’s own company’s headquarters were all set up in Qingyan City. Branches were only established in other provinces and cities. Apart from his sentimental attachment to Qingyan City, the most important thing was the phrase ’sphere of influence’. With Dou Jiao’s family network, his uncle’s network, and Liu Qian’s network, they can basically make inroads in the province. Going elsewhere would not be a good thing.
He also wanted to contribute to the development of this place.
"I’m willing to give that up, of course. For Jiaojiao, I’m willing to give up anything. You’re right, it wouldn’t matter where the headquarters is located. In the future, you should look out for my business," Pan Yue made a decision on the spot, choosing love.
"I’m not in the restaurant or bar business, so how could I help you?" Tang Qing replied with a light laugh.
"Haha, don’t think I don’t know. I’ve heard of the reputation of Chai Ren, the young master of the Chai family, as well as Liu Qian, the snakehead here. He’s now converting his business to the service industry, and he has many hotels, karaoke bars, and the like under him. Especially his network in the province, it’s great. I’ve heard from Jiaojiao’s grandfather that he’s quite a character," said Pan Yue, staring at Tang Qing.
He was surprised that Tang Qing knew so many important people, and seemed to be very familiar with them. This was what he knew. How many more people did he not know?
"Alright, since you said so, I would try to win some opportunities for you in Jiaojiao’s name," Tang Qing promised. It was a small matter after all.
"Thanks. We can drink in my place later on. I’ll treat you to a meal," Pan Yue laughed heartily.
"Be careful, I might report you for encouraging me to drink," Tang Qing ’threatened’ jokingly.
"Haha, then we’ll just drink beverages. Qingyan City is your turf, and I’ve heard that you’re going to Shanghai for school. I’m very familiar with the place and know lots of people there. If you need help, don’t hesitate to ask. Although it’s not my family’s influence, one of my childhood friends is the son of Shanghai’s deputy mayor. We have a good relationship," Pan Yue revealed some of his private network.
Although it was not as powerful as Chai Ren’s, but in his eyes, Chai Ren was a big boss, and it was pointless to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut. He usually didn’t tell anyone about this relationship as he did not want people to trouble him. It might make his friend uncomfortable, but Tang Qing was certainly now in a position to make use of this relationship, as he knew that his friend’s father was on Chai Ren’s side of the family.
"I’ll say thank you in advance then. I won’t hold back if I need anything," Tang Qing thanked him.
After that, the two chatted about their company’s operations. However, Tang Qing didn’t understand much of it and just listened to Pan Yue introducing his company’s plans. As he listened, he found it confusing. No... it was not that, he just lacked interest. Pan Yue was thrilled by a profit of ten million RMB a year, while Tang Qing didn’t want to belittle him, he could only offer his congratulations.
