“Why are you still sitting here? Shouldn’t you be having dinner with that model?”
Mother Ji laughed.
“How would I dare to go? I wouldn’t dare to go without your instructions.”
Qu Xiujie’s eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Mother Ji. The smile on his lips was revealed in Mother Ji’s eyes. If he wanted to stay in the Ji family, it seemed like he could not offend Mother Ji anymore.
Otherwise, he did not want to try this old woman’s methods.
“Oh? You still need my instructions?”
Mother Ji held the gift box in her hand and stopped to look at Qu Xiujie with a relaxed expression. “Old thing, I didn’t realize that you were so serious and gave me so much face. Or did you already have dinner with the model lady? You didn’t have dinner with us tonight. It seems like you really did.”
Mother Ji was very satisfied with her answer. Seeing that Qu Xiujie seemed to want to break free from her control but could not find a reason to do so, Mother Ji wanted to laugh out loud but had no choice.
“You’re right. I’ve had a meal with the model lady. Compared to some old women, I’m still young and energetic. It’s great to be young, but young people like older men like me. I wonder if those young hunks like old women like you.”
Qu Xiujie hit the nail on the head and pointed out the fundamental difference between Mother Ji and Mao Nana. It made Mother Ji want to throw the gift box at him.
After a short moment of consideration, Mother Ji resisted the urge to throw it at Qu Xiujie. She stood up straight and said, “So what if she’s a young lady? So what if she’s young? They’ll all have a day like mine. Moreover, my master isn’t someone who judges others by their looks. I really wonder if that model’s brain is damaged. Why would she like you?”
Mother Ji tried her best to control her heavy breathing as she tried to speak in a calm tone.
“Oh? Now that you’ve brought up the old man in your house, you must be really angry, right?”
Qu Xiujie leaned on the sofa and looked at the fury in Mother Ji’s eyes with relish. He seemed to be enjoying Mother Ji’s anger.
“Shut up!”
Mother Ji was truly enraged. As a woman, age was triggering to her. If a man were to compare with her age, he would be courting death.
Mother Ji could even imagine how many ways Qu Xiujie had died under her hands.
“Are you really angry? This isn’t like you. Are you really going to get angry because of me?”
Qu Xiujie asked fearlessly. Seeing the fury in Mother Ji’s eyes, he finally stopped and did not continue. When Mother Ji was about to throw the gift box at him, he quickly dodged and the beautiful gift box landed on the sofa with a dull thud.
Mother Ji also felt relieved.
“Old woman, are you trying to kill me?!”
Qu Xiujie stood up and looked at the gift box that was blooming like a flower on the sofa. He was very glad that he had really escaped a calamity just now. If not, the force and degree of damage from the gift box would have caused a flower of blood to bloom on Qu Xiujie’s head.
“You asked for it!”
Mother Ji angrily walked to the sofa and picked up the gift box. There were four bottles of skincare products in total. They were limited edition and were only sold to the right person.
Qu Xiujie stood at the side and looked at Mother Ji’s resolute figure. He could not help but sigh. What did this woman’s brain have to do with?
The Mao Nana whom he met in the day was obviously a beauty with good looks, figure and ability but she liked Qu Xiujie. Now, this Mother Ji who almost killed someone because of a single sentence made Qu Xiujie rejoice that he had just escaped a calamity.
Women were truly terrifying creatures.
Meanwhile, Ji Ziming and Pei Ge were fretting over the new collaborators of Pei Ge’s company. Ji Ziming listed ten names but Pei Ge was not satisfied.
“Can’t this person do it too? The business he does in the capital can be said to be comparable to my catering business. You don’t like him either?”
Ji Ziming hugged Pei Ge’s slender waist as he looked at the information on the new collaborator with his deep eyes. It was not something that could be finished with just one or two pieces of A4 paper, yet Pei Ge was still not satisfied with any of it.
“Look at his catering industry. Six of the restaurants in Beijing have run into trouble. Look at this recent incident. Customers in his hotpot restaurant fell and crashed into another table’s hotpot soup. The hot soup splattered onto the child. Who’s to blame for this accident?”
Pei Ge’s expression was cold as she watched this incident spread like wildfire in the capital and even started a lawsuit. It was just that she was not that concerned about the final development of this matter. However, from this incident, it could be seen that there were more than one or two problems in this hotpot restaurant.
“Well, you’re right. This one’s my fault. I didn’t take a serious look at it.”
He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist. It felt just right to his touch. She had a circle of flesh around her stomach. It was hard to tell with clothes on, but now that he was sitting on the sofa, he had to squeeze slightly to feel that circle of flesh. It was soft, comfortable, and felt good.
“That’s why you can’t do that either.”
Pei Ge’s eyes were filled with sadness. She did not notice that someone’s fair hand was slowly moving up and down her stomach. It was gentle yet filled with love for her.
“Then, what kind of partner do you want to look for? There are so many reputable people in the capital yet you almost rejected all of them.”
Ji Ziming’s eyes darkened as he looked at Pei Ge with gentleness.
“Although it’s good to have a business partner, if the quality isn’t good and the credibility isn’t good enough, I won’t consider it. I would rather consider some small companies. Although they’re small in size, they’re serious and reliable. We can give it a try.”
Pei Ge expressed her opinion and got Ji Ziming’s approval.
“You have a point. Alright, I’ll get He Yun to filter out some for you tomorrow. How about finding some mid-tier companies? If they’re too small, I’m afraid they won’t be able to take on your company’s orders. After all, to them, there are too many of them. They’re not big shots that can be easily completed. You can’t become a fatty in one bite. You have to take it slowly.”
