Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 253: Chapter 245 Wu Xirui Confesses
 

Several days later.

Zhan Qipei sat at the head of the conference room, silent.

Tang Yan, holding a folder, stood beside Zhan Qipei, sneaking a glance at him.

Zhan Qipei’s face was slightly stern, radiating a strong chill that gave off a suffocating pressure. He pursed his thin lips, his gaze fixed on the executives present.

The other executives were looking down, not daring to meet his gaze, waiting for Zhan Qipei to speak. The entire atmosphere was very tense and oppressive.

When Zhan Qipei finally spoke, the hearts of the executives lifted.

The cooperation with Wonderful Hall was originally entrusted to a certain executive, but after failing to negotiate, they sought help from other executives. They utilized their resources but were of no help.

So, for not being able to secure the deal with Wonderful Hall, everyone present bore some responsibility. They all feared that Zhan Qipei would blame them for this issue.

“Wonderful Hall,” Zhan Qipei uttered these three words indifferently.

The executives let out a sigh of relief and slowly spoke up.

“President Zhan, the company from the Overseas Group is not willing to back down and is determined to compete with us for Wonderful Hall’s medicinal material supplies.”

“Wonderful Hall has almost finalized the agreement with them, and only the signing of the contract is pending.”

“I’m afraid we can’t outbid them, as Wonderful Hall has made their stance very clear.”

The other executives turned towards the person who was speaking, their faces filled with shock.

How could he dare to speak such discouraging words at this time?

When Zhan Qipei heard the last remark, his dark eyes directly fixed on that executive, the fierceness in them unabated, “The contract hasn’t been signed yet, and you think we can’t negotiate it?”

The executive, feeling a chill down his spine under Zhan Qipei’s gaze, stammered, “President Zhan, I didn’t mean that. It’s just that according to the information we have, the other side has already negotiated the deal, with only the contract left unsigned.”

“Do any of you have any good suggestions?” Zhan Qipei didn’t pay any more attention to that executive, instead looking at Tang Yan.

Tang Yan immediately understood Zhan Qipei’s intent and passed the folder on.

“President Zhan, why don’t we try talking with Wonderful Hall about the cooperation again?”@@novelbin@@

“We can offer a higher price than that company.”

“But it seems that Wonderful Hall doesn’t care about the price as much as they care about the order of precedence?”

The executives offered their views, but none seemed viable.

In the end, Zhan Qipei did not express his opinion and concluded the meeting.

Back in his office, Zhan Qipei had a headache due to the Wonderful Hall matter, habitually pinching his brow to ease the discomfort.

He unlocked his phone, and upon seeing Qiao Jing’s photo on the screen saver, his mood lightened significantly.

Zhan Qipei found Qiao Jing’s WeChat and sent her a message, “When do you get off work? I’ll come to pick you up.”

“Didn’t go to work today. I’m treating a patient.” Qiao Jing replied quickly, as she happened to be reaching for her phone to contact Wu Xirui.

A guess formed in Zhan Qipei’s mind, could she be treating Wu Xirui?

He started typing a message, wanting to ask Qiao Jing whom she was treating. After entering and deleting several sentences, he felt they were too blunt and deleted the messages in the chat box.

Qiao Jing just watched as the chat page header showed ‘typing’ repeated several times. She sent a message, “Treating Wu Xirui.”

Zhan Qipei deleted the sentence he had typed, ‘Who are you treating?’ The gloominess brought on by the Wonderful Hall issue evaporated, softening the rigid contours of his face.

His wife was being forthright with him, not even needing him to ask, she had told him directly.

Zhan Qipei curved the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of a smile, “Would you like me to pick you up?”

“No need.” Qiao Jing had arrived at the entrance of Wu Xirui’s company building and replied.

Zhan Qipei remembered something and sent a message to Qiao Jing, “Mom and Dad want us to come over for dinner tonight.”

“Okay.” Qiao Jing replied to the last message and then put her phone back in her pocket.

The receptionist recognized Qiao Jing and took her to the private elevator for Wu Xirui.

The elevator went straight to the top floor, and the office of Wu Xirui was right there when the doors opened.

At that moment, Wu Xirui was looking at a document when he heard the sound and looked up, smiling at Qiao Jing, “You’re here.”

“Yeah.” There was no trace of emotion in Qiao Jing’s tone.

Accustomed to Qiao Jing’s personality, Wu Xirui took the initiative to sit down on the sofa and extended his hand for her to take his pulse.

Qiao Jing placed her hand on Wu Xirui’s pulse. After a short while, she took her hand back, put the medicine she brought on the table, and took out a row of silver needles.

“Do you still remember the painting you won at the auction?” Wu Xirui asked, staring at Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing glanced at Wu Xirui with her phoenix eyes, made a sound of agreement, and continued her search for the silver needles without interruption.

Rolling up his sleeves as if casually, Wu Xirui asked, “Do you have other assets under your control? Or is that the money you’ve saved from being a doctor? Six hundred million is not a small sum.”

“I saved it myself.” Qiao Jing began to sterilize the silver needles, replying offhandedly.

Wu Xirui rolled up his sleeve cuffs and stretched his hand out in front of Qiao Jing.

Qiao Jing treated him using the previous method.

Watching Qiao Jing as she inserted the needles, Wu Xirui asked, “What do you think of me?”

Qiao Jing, focused on her treatment, did not respond to Wu Xirui’s question. She didn’t stop inserting needles, nor did she give him a glance.

However, Wu Xirui wasn’t annoyed at all. “Actually, I like you even more than Zhan Qipei does. Your engagement is over, right? Would you consider me?”

Qiao Jing gave Wu Xirui a faint glance and ignored him.

“Why don’t you have any reaction at all?” Wu Xirui pressed.

He hadn’t expected Qiao Jing to be so indifferent to his words, not even bothering to speak a word to him.

Looking at the time, Qiao Jing replied, “I’ve heard such things too many times before, so I don’t feel anything.”

But Wu Xirui suddenly burst into laughter, not concealing his scrutinizing gaze, which landed straight on Qiao Jing.

Even with her cold and distant demeanor, Qiao Jing’s face did not lose its charm. Her phoenix eyes, seemingly void of emotion, somehow managed to captivate. Combined with her chilly aura that kept others at a distance, she was like an unblemished Snow Lotus in the cold, refusing to be tainted.

Further considering her figure, which could rival that of a top world supermodel, Wu Xirui admitted that Qiao Jing was top-notch in every aspect and many people were pursuing her, to no avail.

Once the time was up, Qiao Jing removed the silver needles, finished sterilizing them, and put them away before getting up to leave, “Take your medicine on time.”

Wu Xirui watched Qiao Jing’s departing figure, the smile still on his face, as his interest in her rose several notches.

Unknown to both of them, Su Manhan had happened to pass by just as Qiao Jing entered the company.

She recognized Qiao Jing at a glance and, after realizing she was going to a company, she deliberately recorded a video and sent it to Zhan Qipei.

“Qipei, I told you she’s a temptress, and you wouldn’t believe me! She must be trying to seduce the boss here. I’ve said it before; she doesn’t deserve to enter our Zhan Family’s door. Why won’t you listen?”

“It’s good that I was the one who discovered this today. If people from other families had seen it, who knows how they would mock the Zhan Family!”
