Chapter 78: Chapter 78 The Wheels of Fate Turn Chapter 78: Chapter 78 The Wheels of Fate Turn “Aren’t you just Nan Qiao? A woman who climbed up the ladder with her body?” Nan Qiao lightly scoffed with a laugh, “I was this year’s top science student in the college entrance exams, and I am also the Bai Family’s true daughter who was found and brought back home. Liu Hui, the reason I sit in this position is that my parents gave the company to me, I’m managing my own company!” “What!” Liu Hui stood still, dumbfounded like a wooden chicken. This was totally inconsistent with what she had heard. Nan Qiao continued, “The person who bribed you just used you as a pawn. If you have any difficulties, I can help.” Liu Hui’s heart stirred, and she was about to speak when something else crossed her mind, shaking her head. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about; no one is instructing me. I just don’t like the look of you! Sue me if you want, I have nothing to lose!” Liu Hui stood up and left as if staying one more second would reveal her secrets. Nan Qiao watched her leave with furrowed brows. Who exactly could have such great power, she hadn’t offended someone so formidable, had she? Nan Qiao was perplexed and left the prison. ... She had just returned to the company when she received a call from Hou Ze. “Boss, someone is offering a hundred million for you to draw a painting.” Nan Qiao: ?? “What painting?” Hou Ze chuckled, “Boss, this person must be your secret admirer because what she wants you to draw is yourself.” Hou Ze sent the photo to Nan Qiao, and with one glance, she recognized it as taken by Li Yehan. That was the dress she wore that day in her office with Li Yehan; Nan Qiao had a deep impression of it. “Boss, your secret admirers could line up from here to the streets of France, right?” Nan Qiao ignored Hou Ze; she was pondering whether to paint. To paint would earn her a hundred million. To not paint, might that reveal her identity? “Boss, if you don’t paint, it will surely expose your identity, right? After all, the other party is paying a hundred million; it’s foolish not to take the money.” Nan Qiao: “...” She was the fool if she didn’t take it? Nan Qiao laughed in exasperation; she took the job. “Boss, then I’ll go reply to the person. You are amazing, Boss, making a small target effortlessly.” Nan Qiao was amused by Hou Ze’s words, “How is your mother’s health? Is she taking the medicine I gave her regularly?” “Boss, my mom’s much better now, and she said she’d make her signature braised pork trotters for you. I told her you’ve been busy recently and haven’t had time to visit my place.” Nan Qiao wore a gentle smile, “Finish up with the company’s work in the next two days, and then go home with you over the weekend. Invite Ah Nian and Ah Yao too; we’ll all go together.” “Alright, my mom will be very happy to know you’re coming.” After hanging up the call, Hou Ze immediately called his mother to inform her. Hou Ze’s mother was both excited and happy, “Is Qiaoqiao really coming? That’s great! Houzi, remember to treat Qiaoqiao well, understand? My life was saved by Qiaoqiao, she has been gracious to our family!” Hou Ze had heard these words so much his ears could have grown calluses. Yet, he patiently spoke with his mother, “Mom, I know. I’m working for the Boss right now; I’ll work even harder, don’t worry.” “Houzi, does Qiaoqiao have someone?” “Somebody has been chasing her,” Hou Ze said. Hou Ze’s mother asked in surprise, “What kind of man? Is he good to Qiaoqiao? Handsome? Capable?” “Mom, don’t act like you’re Qiaoqiao’s real mom.” “You little rascal, what do you know? Qiaoqiao is so capable, I don’t know who would be worthy of such a good girl.” Hou Ze: That struck a nerve, Mom! “Mom, Qiaoqiao has a good eye for men, and she’s not love-blind. A man she dislikes won’t even get to hold her hand. Don’t worry, Qiaoqiao is no pushover.” After hearing these words, Hou Ze’s mother smiled and nodded, “Houzi, come home tonight. Shop with me so I can make a lot of dishes Qiaoqiao likes.” “Alright.” ... Nan Qiao entered the company and received a text message from Elder Li. [Qiaoqiao, are you free this weekend? I’ll take you to the Li Family estate; would that be nice? You can also have roasted whole lamb; whatever you want to eat, I’ll have people prepare it in advance.] [Qiaoqiao, do you have enough pocket money? I’ll transfer you a hundred million, you can spend it to pass the time.] [Qiaoqiao, I’ve been feeling a terrible headache recently, when you have time, come over and check on me again.] Elder Li sent a flurry of messages over; there was also the notification sound of a hundred million in pocket money. The words couldn’t be heard by others, but the notification sound made everyone around open their mouths in shock, staring at Nan Qiao. Everyone: !! A hundred million! Everyone looked at one another, perceiving Nan Qiao anew. What kind of man was pursuing Mr. Qiao, to transfer a hundred million just for spending money! Nan Qiao ignored the inquiring glances of everyone and said to Rong Yan, “Rong Yan, come to my office for a moment.” “Yes, Mr. Qiao.” Rong Yan immediately stood up. The office had a large pane of transparent glass; without the curtains drawn, those outside could see every move Nan Qiao made. Rong Yan walked in, stood in front of the desk, and behaved respectfully, as if his life lay in Nan Qiao’s hands. Nan Qiao smiled, “Rong Yan, the matter of our design being plagiarised has been handled; you don’t need to be too anxious. This time, I came to entrust next quarter’s design to you, too.” Rong Yan was stunned; was such good fortune possible? “Mr. Qiao, are you planning to skyrocket my career?” Rong Yan couldn’t believe that his life might soar to new heights! Nan Qiao was amused by Rong Yan’s reaction, “I entrust the task to you, but you need to demonstrate your ability. If your skills don’t meet my requirements, I won’t use your designs, understand?” Rong Yan nodded repeatedly, “Yes, Mr. Qiao, I will devote all of my effort; I will certainly not disappoint you!” His destiny’s wheel was also set to turn! ... After Hou Ze left, Nan Qiao sent a message in reply to Elder Li. [Grandfather, I have enough pocket money; I can’t spend it all. I’ll transfer this money back to you shortly. This weekend I have plans with friends, so I can’t go to your place, sorry.] Elder Li saw Nan Qiao’s reply and immediately asked Li Yehan about it, only to find out he had no plans with Nan Qiao for the weekend, and he was anxious. “Ah Fu, quickly see what Qiaoqiao means by this?” “Qiaoqiao says she has plans for the weekend, not with Ye Han; she couldn’t possibly have a boyfriend now, could she?” Ah Fu saw the message content and hesitated, “Sir, it’s hard to say.” Both exchanged glances, clueless. At that moment, a servant said, “Sir, Miss Bai Yurou is outside; she says she has something important to discuss with you.” Elder Li was taken aback; what was Bai Yurou doing here? “Let her in.” He was curious to see what Bai Yurou wanted.
