Chapter 66: Buying Vegetables

  Xiao Hua refused, but still called the doctor to come and do an examination. The doctor also didn't dare to make a diagnosis on the spot, and needed Qiao Yun to go to the hospital for an instrument examination. Qiao Yun stubbornly refused to go to the hospital for an examination, insisting on following Lin Zixian's prescription for treatment. Qiao Antian had no choice but to send someone to fetch the medicine...

  In the following days, Qiao Yun, who took medicine according to the prescription, indeed got better day by day, which relieved Qiao An and his wife a lot. At the same time, they both felt somewhat surprised, thinking that Lin Zi would still be able to diagnose illnesses despite living in seclusion.

  The only thing that made Qiao Yun feel embarrassed was, as Lin Zixian said, this medicine had some side effects. Every day, she would discharge some stinky blood from her body, which smelled terrible. Just thinking about Lin Zixian knowing about her condition made Qiao Yun's face turn red, and she couldn't help but suspect that the guy was intentionally messing with her.

  Three days later, Qiao Yun was able to get out of bed and move around, but the range of activities was limited to her own room, although her room was also large.

  "Xiao Yun, how did you get out of bed again?" Qiao An Tian frowned as he pushed open the door. He took a few documents and placed them on the desk in the room.

  These are all official duties that need to be handled by the general manager in person. In theory, Qiao An Tian's ability should also be able to handle it on behalf of him, but Qiao Yun insisted that his father bring the documents back home and personally sign them, so Qiao An Tian didn't dare say anything more.

  Because some things are not as simple as ordinary people think, a large group company like this, once the helmsman has any unexpected physical news spreading out, it will directly affect the stock price, which is equivalent to affecting the interests of the company and all shareholders.

  Even Qiao Yun's engagement was being watched by many eyes, especially the board members of the company, who were supervising her marriage. It is known that if Qiao Yun marries an ordinary person or someone with a less prestigious family background, it is possible for the company's stock price to plummet sharply.

  This involves a factor in whether the marriage relationship is stable, because once the two people's marriage is not harmonious and a divorce event occurs, the two must necessarily follow the law to divide their property, including company shares. Once the news of the divorce spreads, a sharp drop in stock price is inevitable, which is not a small matter for any large company.

  This is also why many wealthy people find a spouse and sign a prenuptial agreement. For ordinary people, they may feel very disdainful of this and think it's distrust of their partner. However, for many high-level company executives, it's also a helpless move, because what's involved isn't just his personal interests, but the interests of many, many people.

  Of course, for those families who are just a little wealthy and make prenuptial agreements, it's purely because they don't want their spouse to take advantage of them. That's a problem with their character, and has nothing to do with the interests of most people.

  If Qiao Yun marries someone with a stronger background than Ming Hua Group, the company's shareholders will be in favor of it because even if they get divorced later, Ming Hua Group won't lose out. Alternatively, marrying someone with similar strength to Ming Hua Group is also considered a strong alliance and everyone won't object, for example, marrying Zheng Longqing would still benefit Ming Hua Group's development.

  As for Zheng Longqing's personal interests in the Qiao family, the company's shareholders would not care about that. Even if the Minghua Group changed its leadership, the shares they held were still their own, as long as it did not affect their interests.

  Qiao Yun had just sat down at the desk and opened the file when Xiao Hua came in with a bowl of hot wontons, saying indignantly: "Xiao Zheng is here again, I didn't let him in... My daughter went out to play with you, but your underling ended up hurting my daughter. How can I still dare to marry my daughter off to you?" She was muttering to herself in anger.

  "Who said Xiao Yun is going to marry him?" Qiao An Tian rolled his eyes at his wife and walked with Qiao Yun to the window, where they saw Zheng Long Qing standing in the courtyard, staring longingly at the house, a row of bodyguards blocking his way.

  "Mom! I'll change into another outfit, you ask him to wait for me in the living room." Qiao Yun said as she walked towards the closet.

  In fact, for the past three days, Zheng Longqing has come to visit every day. Only in the first two days was she not convenient to get out of bed and walk around, so she refused Zheng Longqing's visit because she did not want any man to enter her boudoir casually. Now that she can move around, it is natural for them to meet again.

  "Let him cool off for two more days and he'll come to his senses." Although Xiao Hua said this, as soon as her daughter agreed, she quickly left.

  Although she was angry about her daughter's injury, Zheng Longqing had already explained to her several times that he was deeply in love with her daughter. As for this future son-in-law, she actually quite liked him and couldn't find any fault with him, and didn't want to ruin things between the two of them.

  Qiao An took the coat from her daughter's hand and helped her put it on, saying in a low voice: "It's better to cut off all ties with this person. If you continue to get entangled, I'm afraid you'll be in danger."

  Qiao Yun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the image of a gentle housewife instantly disappeared. Her voice was icy as she said: "We can't afford to antagonize him now, or we'll end up being harmed instead. I don't want my family to be in any more danger. I need time to prepare a large amount of sniper funds. For now, we can't alarm the snake, and we must temporarily stabilize him until the East Sea Enterprise Annual Meeting is held. After I have a personal talk with that person, we'll see what happens next. Otherwise, it's not advisable to make any rash moves. Once the timing is ripe, I will eradicate them all, leaving no room for trouble. This is the price they pay for breaking the rules of the game!" Her words were laced with a hint of murderous intent.

  Qiao An slightly sighed, he had confidence in his daughter's ability to make decisive decisions in business, past experiences had already proven that she had the capability, it was just a matter of sacrificing her charm to stabilize their opponents, which made him feel uncomfortable as a father.

  The boss who was supposed to be on duty didn't show up, and Deputy Director Lin also played hooky. He had nothing better to do than ride his bike around aimlessly or stay at home in the Sakura Snow apartment complex, doing household chores like buying groceries. As for actual cooking, that was still left to Da Hua Lian's wife, Tong Yunan.

  That day, I went to the bicycle shop where he sent his bike and chatted with the boss for a while. After a period of time, both parties became familiar with each other. Before leaving, I tactfully mentioned that when buying vegetables, I was always worried that my bike would be pushed away by someone, so the boss gave me another free lock to install.

  It's not that he can't afford the two dollars, it's just that for him, this is a kind of pleasure in rubbing shoulders with the common people, and also a way of life. If everything were solved with money, there would be no fun.

  In the bustling vegetable market, Lin Zixian carried a bamboo basket and looked around, the basket was bought by him after walking several streets, made of rattan, very environmentally friendly.

  Every time he sees a dish that catches his eye, he pinches his nose and haggles with the boss for a while, regardless of whether he can bring down the price or not. As long as the dishes can be put into his basket, they are all worth his saliva. He doesn't mind having a dry mouth, and there is always a bottle of mineral water in his basket.

  I just bought a duck and put it in the vegetable basket. The phone rang, I picked it up and said: "Ning's assistant, what can I do for you?"

  Ning Lan on the other end of the phone was sitting in the car, with Meng Zidan beside her. Ning Lan paused for a moment and said: "Where are you? Why is it so noisy?"

  Meng Zidan was a little curious, and her ear stuck to the phone to eavesdrop. She only heard Lin Zixian's voice say: "Oh! I'm buying vegetables at the market, nothing else, I'll hang up, it's too noisy here, not very convenient for talking."

  Buying vegetables? Ning Lan and Meng Zidan looked at each other in dismay, unsure what this guy was up to now.

  Meng Zidan then made a gesture to go find him, Ning Lan nodded and, fearing he would hang up the phone, hurriedly said: "I heard you live in the old city district. I'm currently in the old city district too. Which market are you at? I'll come find you."

  "Oh! Then come on! I'm at the East City Market, where the old and new city districts meet." Lin Zixian glanced around and said: "I'm currently strolling through the sixth district of the market. If you've arrived, just find me in the sixth district." After hearing that the other person had taken note, he hung up the phone.

  Meng Zidan and Ning Lan didn't know where the East City Vegetable Market was, so they asked a passerby and found out it was just ahead at the intersection to their right. They immediately rushed over.

  Two stylish women, dressed to the nines and wearing high heels, strode into the market, wrinkling their noses at the pungent smells that assailed them. It was clear they weren't regulars at the market.

  After finding the sixth district, they went all the way inside to look for Lin Zixian's figure. Before long, they saw a guy holding a vegetable basket looking around left and right.

  The two of them looked at each other speechlessly, and the feeling was that this guy was really buying vegetables? Meng Zidan raised his index finger to his lips and motioned for Ning Lan to follow quietly behind Lin Zixian and see what he was up to.

  Lin Zi suddenly saw a pile of water-glossy radishes, very attractive, and his eyes lit up and he couldn't move.

  "How much is this radish per kilogram?" Lin Zixian put the vegetable basket in front of the radish stall, opened a bottle of mineral water to take a sip to moisten his throat, and then rolled up his sleeves to prepare for bargaining.

  The boss's smile froze after seeing him clearly, thinking to himself "How is it this stingy guy again?", stretched out his hand and drew a few strokes saying: "Three bucks!"

  "Three yuan?" Lin Zixian suddenly shouted like a slaughtered pig, "I bought a catty of braised pork ribs two days ago and it was clearly 2.5 yuan, how did it become three yuan when I'm buying it to braise duck today? Do you think I'm an idiot?"

  Ning Lan and Meng Zidan followed behind, speechless, almost thinking they had mistaken the person. Was it worth it for just 50 cents?

  "The price of vegetables is floating, isn't it? If I buy at a high price, the selling price will naturally be higher too. If you don't want to buy, then go aside and don't bother me with my business." The boss waved his hand impatiently, too lazy to argue with him anymore. He had been scared by this guy for several days and decided that from now on, he would save his saliva when seeing people bringing mineral water to buy vegetables.

  Lin Zi Xian's eyes widened, grasping two radishes and refusing to let go: "Boss, what kind of attitude is this? This is a refusal to sell, which is very serious and will disrupt the market economic order. I can totally file a complaint against you with the Consumer Association."
