Tang Xi’s pounding heart suddenly became steady. She shoved Qiao Liang aside and jumped off the desk. Then she ran to the sofa and sat down. She put her hands over her flushed cheeks, winked at Qiao Liang, and whispered, “Somebody’s knocking at the door. Won’t you let them in?

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi, wanting to finish the kiss. He didn’t respond to Tang Xi’s words but walked straight towards Tang Xi. Tang Xi was startled, hurriedly put on her mask and hat and shouted, “Please come in!”

Qiao Liang who had walked to the tea table suddenly bent down. Just as Tang Xi was about to close her eyes again, Qiao Liang picked up the folder on the table. At that moment, the door of the office was pushed open. Tang Xi was relieved to see the person and called, “Jing.”

Xiao Jing took a look at Qiao Liang and pursed his lips. “Now we’ve had the sixty-five percent stake of the Qiao ‘s International Group. As for the remaining thirty-five percent, fifteen percent is held by the other Qiao Family members, and twenty percent is in Lu Guangxiong’s hands. If we want to get their shares, we may need to resort to special means, I’m afraid.”

Qiao Liang had returned to his table and was sitting in his chair looking up at Xiao Jing with a straight face. “Anything else?”

Xiao Jing frowned and looked at Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang put his right leg over his left one in a smooth natural movement. He leaned back with his fingers tapping on the desk. “I don’t care what means you’ll use. I just want the shares.”

Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and smiled. “I know what to do. I have to go.”

Xiao Jing looked at Tang Xi. “What about your interview?”

Tang Xi took off her hat and mask and smiled at Xiao Jing. “I’m very satisfied with them. Jing, can you help me with the operation of the company, and the sales channels…”

“No, you don’t need his help.” Before Tang Xi finished, Qiao Liang who was sitting in the chair interrupted her. Tang Xi and Xiao Jing looked at him at the same time. He said, “I’ll hire specialists to help you. Anyway, to steer clear of suspicion, Xiao Jing can’t help you with those things.”

Tang Xi asked with doubt, “Why?”

Qiao Liang stood up, glanced at Tang Xi’s face and simply said, “The Design Department of the Qiao’s.”

“Yes.” Tang Xi nodded. “People would gossip about it, if Jing, a president of the Qiao’s International Group, helps to promote the clothing and jewelry of another brand. It was really thoughtless of me.” She looked at Qiao Liang. “Which specialist are you going to hire for me?”

Qiao Liang smiled. “I’ll introduce you to him in a few days. I think he can help you get the company on track, although his main career is not running companies.”

“Is he your friend?” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang with sparkling eyes. From what she knew of him, he barely praised a person. Since this person was praised by Qiao Liang, he must be very good!

Seeing Tang Xi excited, Qiao Liang frowned and said coldly, “If you still look so happy when I talk about him, I’ll break up with him.”

Seeing Qiao Liang was so shamelessly jealous, Xiao Jing snorted. “Nuts!” With that, he pulled open the door and turned to leave.

Tang Xi was speechless too, but she still looked at Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang walked over, put on the hat and mask for Tang Xi and whispered, “We’re not friends, but he owes me a favor, so I can ask him to help you.”

“Owes you a favor?” Would Qiao Liang ever let anybody owe him anything?

Qiao Liang pulled her hoodie’s hood over her capped head, patted her head and said softly, “The last time he came to City A, he was accidentally found by his enemy and injured. Interpol also wanted him, so I took him abroad with me when I went away. I just did him a little favor…”

“Interpol?” Tang Xi was shocked. “Is he a terrorist?”

Qiao Liang smiled and looked at Tang Xi. “Do you think I’m a bad guy?”

“Of course not!” Tang Xi gave him a sweet smile, and took his hand. “If you were a bad guy, I think presidents all over the world will get a headache.”

“Why?” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi sideways and took her outside. “Why are you so sure I’m not a bad guy?”

“Umm, that’s because my Qiao Liang will never be a bad guy.” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang. “Besides, I’m not in a position to judge if a person is bad or good, but… I can choose to get close to or stay away from a person. And I don’t have to stay far away from the people others see as ‘bad guys’ if… in my mind they are not ‘bad’ at all.”

“Your theory is strange.” Qiao Liang took Tang Xi into the elevator. “That man’s a bit eccentric. Though he may agree to help you, he will probably say something annoying or unacceptable to you. If he does, tell me and I’ll solve it.”

Tang Xi nodded. “Okay, I see. What’s his name?”

“Chu Ling.”

“Oh my god! Is he the one who changed a company that was going to go bankrupt into a world-class electronics enterprise? Is it really that man?” Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang in shock. “I heard he was very young, right?”

Qiao Liang frowned and looked at Tang Xi who exclaimed adoringly. “Is it such a big deal to save an electronics enterprise?”

Tang Xi nodded hard. “Of course! That’s Ling Feng Electronics! The number one electronics enterprise in the world! Of course it’s a big deal! And he’s still so young…”

“Then how do you think of Long Xiao Group?” Walking out of the elevator, Qiao Liang took Tang Xi by hand and looked deeply at her. “How do you think of Long Xiao?”

“Long Xiao?” Tang Xi chuckled and looked up at Qiao Liang. “That group that almost grasped the lifeblood of the global economy?”

Qiao Liang nodded. “Yes, do you think the Long Xiao Group or Ling Feng Electronics is better?”

Tang Xi tittered. “Of course Long Xiao is better. No other company rivals Long Xiao. Even… the Empire Group can’t rival it.”

Qiao Liang was satisfied to hear that, but Tang Xi laughed harder. “Why do you keep silent when I praise Long Xiao? Do you…”

Qiao Liang stopped his footsteps and looked back at Tang Xi. His eyes were unfathomable and he nodded. “Yes, just as you think.”

“…” Tang Xi ran up to him and took his hand. “Ah Liang, we don’t need to compare with anyone. You’re the best in my eyes!”

Qiao Liang suddenly didn’t know what to say.
