If You Don't Change Your Mind, You Change Your Position.
The man was in his forties, with an ordinary appearance, but his face was greasy and it looked like he ate and drank well on a daily basis.
"Idiot." Xia Tian cursed and then walked into a private room. There were already four or five people sitting in the room, and three of them were Qiao Xiaoqiao, Qiao Feng'er and Qiao Huang'er.
"Why are you here?" The first person to notice Xia Tian was Qiao Feng'er, but this was normal. She was a bodyguard and always had to pay attention to everyone who approached Qiao Xiaoqiao.
Qiao Xiaoqiao also noticed Xia Tian's arrival and was also a little surprised. She stood up and asked softly, "Husband, why are you here?"
"Sister Meng and I were having dinner. I heard you talking, so I came over to see you." Xia Tian replied, then glanced at the other two people in the private room and asked in confusion, "Wife, what are you doing here?"
"Honey, we invited some people from the Muyang County Investment Promotion Bureau and Tourism Bureau to have a meal. When we left the hotel, you and Sister Meng hadn't gotten up yet, so we didn't call you. Now the dinner is almost over, but Director Cheng of the Investment Promotion Bureau just received a call saying that an important guest was coming, so he went to greet him and should be back soon..." Qiao Xiaoqiao explained to Xia Tian softly. Just after she finished speaking, she saw several people walking into the private room, so she changed the subject, "Honey, Director Cheng is back."
Qiao Xiaoqiao turned around and looked at the people who came in. She was about to speak, but someone spoke first.
"Who let you in? Huh? Do you know where this place is? Get out!" The man shouted angrily at Xia Tian. It was normal for this man to be angry at Xia Tian, because in fact, he was the middle-aged man who had asked Xia Tian to apologize to Yuan Shicai less than a minute ago.
"Director Cheng, you misunderstood. This is my husband..." The middle-aged man turned out to be Director Cheng of the Investment Promotion Bureau. Qiao Xiaoqiao didn't know that Xia Tian had just had a conflict with Director Cheng. She thought it was a misunderstanding and started to explain. Although she didn't need to take such a small official seriously, the problem was that although Director Cheng was a small official, he had great power. She wanted to obtain the development rights of Qingfeng Mountain. This seemingly insignificant official could not be offended, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome.
"Miss Qiao, you said this man is your husband?" Director Cheng interrupted Qiao Xiaoqiao before she finished speaking, "In that case, I advise you to change your husband!"
Hearing this, Qiao Xiaoqiao's face suddenly darkened: "Director Cheng, I respect you and hope you respect me too. Don't you think this is too much? It seems that it is not your turn to ask whether I change my husband or not, right?"
Director Cheng sneered and said, "Miss Qiao, your husband is not sensible, and neither are you. Forget it, you are young, and I am too lazy to teach you a lesson. I will tell you, I have no right to control whether you change your husband or not, but I can tell you clearly that if you don't change your husband, you can go back to your Jianghai City directly. We in Muyang County really don't welcome you, and Qingfeng Mountain won't welcome you either!"
"You idiot, you deserve a beating, don't you?" Xia Tian was very unhappy. This idiot actually dared to say that his wife was ignorant. He really didn't want to be in this world anymore!
"Husband, there's no need to get angry with such a person." Qiao Xiaoqiao gently advised Xia Tian, then looked at Director Cheng, "Whether we are sensible or not, it is not your turn to teach us, Director Cheng. Also, as far as I know, this Muyang County is not run by you, Director Cheng. It is really not your turn to say whether we are welcome here or not. I entertain you to give you some face. Since you don't care about face and speak without thinking, then I can also tell you clearly that I will not change my husband, but if you don't change your mind, your position will have to change."
"Oh, you are really arrogant. Are you threatening me?" Director Cheng laughed. "I am not afraid of threats. I also tell you, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a few dollars. There are many rich people now. If you don't invest, there are others who will. As for whether my position will change or not, it is not up to you to decide."
"Director Cheng, based on what you said, it shows that you are not qualified to be the director of an investment promotion bureau. I think it would be better for you to go home and farm." Qiao Xiaoqiao snorted coldly, turned around and glanced at Qiao Feng'er and Qiao Huang'er, "You go and pay the bill, let's go!"
"Yes, Miss Qiao." The two women responded, got up and left the private room, apparently to pay the bill.
"I guess this must be Miss Qiao Xiaoqiao, the famous genius girl from Jianghai City?" Yuan Shicai spoke at this time. His tone was very peaceful, and he extended his right hand towards Qiao Xiaoqiao. "I am Yuan Shicai. My father told me about you. He said that you are the pride of Jianghai City and even the entire Pinghai Province. My father also said that your second uncle is very capable and is worthy of being the head of the Qiao family. Your Qiao family deserves the status they have today."
"It turns out to be the young master of the Yuan family. I'm sorry, I'm not used to shaking hands with others." Qiao Xiaoqiao did not shake hands with Yuan Shicai. Although Yuan Shicai did not say it so obviously, she instantly analyzed Yuan Shicai's identity. The father Yuan Shicai mentioned could not be anyone else but Yuan Languang who had recently come to Jianghai. At this time, Qiao Xiaoqiao also understood why Director Cheng of the China Merchants Group seemed so arrogant. Obviously, in the eyes of Director Cheng, he had already climbed onto a big tree. With the young master of the Yuan family from the capital as his backer, why should he care about Qiao Xiaoqiao?
"It doesn't matter. Everyone has their own habits." Yuan Shicai said calmly and took back his hand. "Anyway, it's my honor to meet Miss Qiao."
"Mr. Yuan, we're sorry we can't entertain you. We'll leave first." Qiao Xiaoqiao had no intention of continuing the conversation with Yuan Shicai. After saying this, she pulled Xia Tian and walked outside.
Just as they walked to the door, a sarcastic voice came from behind: "You really think you are so great, thinking that just because she has some money, she can let me change seats at will? There are so many people who don't know their place these days, and these kids really don't know any etiquette!"
The person who was speaking was naturally Director Cheng. It seemed that he was talking to Yuan Shicai, but his voice was quite loud, and it was obvious that he intended for Qiao Xiaoqiao to hear it.
"Idiot, you are the one who doesn't know how high the heaven is and how deep the earth is!" Xia Tian suddenly turned around and glared at Director Cheng of the Merchants Bureau with dissatisfaction, "My wife said she wanted to change your position, and you changed your position!"
"Really? I'd like to know how you can change my seat?" Director Cheng laughed. "Little friends, you should go home and talk about love. At your age, talking about love, shopping, and watching movies are more suitable for you!"
