Chapter 198 Are you angry?
Qiao Suisui was a little surprised, "Teacher Guan still remembers this?"
Guan Weizi looked at her surprised expression and said nothing. In fact, he remembered more than just that.
He also knew why Joe's father's company was not doing well.
He had used his connections to give Qiao's father some benefits before, but as time went on, the man began to become a little inflated, and neglected to maintain relationships with his clients. He thought that clients were fawning over him because of his own abilities, but he didn't realize that without Guan Weizhi, those people treated him like shit.
Guan Weizi knew a little about Qiao Suosui's situation in that family. Her mother remarried with her and her brother. She felt that she was inferior to others as she had two children to support, so she tolerated Qiao's father in everything. After marriage, she did her best to support Qiao's father's career. It has to be said that this woman is really capable. Even in the old society, she would be a hero among the women. In five years, she helped him turn a small workshop of 20 to 30 people into a startup company of more than 200 people.
But people cannot earn money beyond their cognition.
The couple's small business idea is not good enough now. They don't have basic business thinking, they are nepotistic, and they don't know how to manage. They squeezed out the real professional talents, leaving behind a bunch of workplace slickers who don't do practical work. So the faster they expand, the faster they die. Now the couple's company has no money in the account, but they still put on a show when they go out. They are not even upstarts, let alone the foundation.
The more poor people start a business, the poorer they become.
That day he asked Qiao Suisui for the address of her father's company, but he was asking even though he knew the answer. Guan Weizhi felt that the little girl was too embarrassed to ask him directly, and was using that method to retreat in order to advance.
From childhood to adulthood, there are countless people who want to take advantage of him and build relationships with him. He would feel annoyed by this at first, but later he would evaluate who is useful to him and how much cost he would have to pay in exchange for how much benefit without any emotion. Now this has become a subtle way of thinking.
To be honest, he had a general impression of the couple. He felt that they were like leeches, and once they got entangled, they could not be shaken off. If he was not worried that Qiao Susu would be short of food and drink, he would not bother to care about such people. This was also why he did not use his own identity several times, but went through two or three degrees of connections. He did not want to get involved with such a family.
Even though he really wanted Qiao Susu to be his lover, it didn't mean that he would tolerate her family without limits.
So when he heard Qiao Suisui mention that the Qiao family wanted to join him for dinner, he lost interest for a moment, but soon adjusted himself. If helping her this time could make her trust him, it would help the development of their relationship.
Guan Weizhi raised his eyelids and said without any emotion: "Last time I asked you to send me the name of your father's company, but you didn't, but I have already found out about it. Don't worry too much. I will find someone to solve his funding problem this week."
"Teacher Guan."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qiao Susu.
"Thank you for wanting to help our family, but I don't want you to get involved."
The words were said straightforwardly and politely, and Guan Weizhi was slightly surprised when he heard them. He frowned slightly and saw that the girl in front of him had a calm and composed expression.
Guan Weizi suddenly found that he couldn't understand what she was thinking.
Qiao Susu spoke in a gentle tone, but every word was full of affirmation, without any room for ambiguity: "They will take care of their own affairs. If the company really goes bankrupt in the end, it will be the result they have to bear. I have my own things to do, Teacher Guan, let's end this matter here, and don't mention it again in the future. Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it."
The words were so tactful and generous that no one could argue with them, leaving Guan Weizi stunned.
He suddenly felt that he was pushed far away by Qiao Susu, as if the two of them were just unfamiliar students and teachers, and there was no other possibility.
The man lowered his eyes, only to feel his mouth dry and a complex bitterness surging in his throat.
After a while, he looked up at her and asked, "Are you angry?" Qiao Suisui was startled, "No."
"You don't like me meddling in your family's affairs?"
She sat up straight and smiled, "I just don't want to complicate the relationship between people. You are my teacher, and you are not obligated to worry about my personal affairs. I am always grateful that you stood up for me when no one else spoke for me. I respect you very much, Teacher Guan."
After she finished speaking, she saw Guan Weizhi's face turned a little ugly, blinked, and asked, "Teacher Guan, what's wrong with you?"
Guan Weizhi made a mistake in his judgment for the first time. He was really sure that Qiao Suisui had never wanted him to take care of her parents' affairs. It was because he was too self-conscious. What he didn't expect was that his identity as a teacher would become an obstacle in the end. At this moment, he was really dumb and could only say calmly, "It's okay, eat."
In the following time, Qiao Susu concentrated on eating sashimi. Guan Weizi was depressed and asked someone to open a bottle of Fourteenth Generation.
Fortunately, Qiao Sui Sui didn't recognize this wine, otherwise she would have fainted on the spot. Not to mention that this bottle of wine costs five figures, this kind of wine is rarely tasted on the market.
After she had a full meal, she planned to quietly pay the bill. The kimono woman smiled with a strange look and said, "Didn't Mr. Guan tell you? This is his business. The boss brought his friends to eat here, so there's no reason for him to ask you to pay the bill."
This store is just one of Guan Weizi's many investments. He rarely thinks about it and only comes here once or twice a year.
Qiao Susu once again refreshed her understanding of Guan Weizi.
The woman in kimono kindly saw the two of them to the door. Before leaving, she also gave Qiao Susu a carved gilded wooden box, which contained some Japanese snacks. Each one was small, exquisite and cute.
"Miss Qiao, please come often if you like."
Qiao Susu hurriedly thanked her. Guan Weizi looked at her little face which was flushed with surprise, and raised the corners of his lips slightly with satisfaction. He nodded to the woman in kimono, then took the things in Qiao Susu's hand, turned around and left with her.
The woman in kimono kept bowing and smiling as they saw each other off until they could no longer be seen. She heaved a sigh of relief, clenched her fist and shouted, "I have this month's bonus. You are worthy of me!"
Since Guan Weizhi had been drinking, he asked Lao Tang to pick him up. Qiao Susu followed him into a black Maybach. She felt like she had seen this car somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
At this time, the man was sitting next to her with his long legs open. He unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt with his hands, moved his neck, and stared at Qiao Susu with burning eyes.
The girl sat quietly and obediently in the back seat. She wore a simple dress with a soft texture. Her long hair was casually tied behind her head, with a few strands of hair falling on her snow-white neck. Guan Weizhi pinched her neck with his hand for some unknown reason. Qiao Suisui was startled and moved away from him.
"Teacher Guan?"
"You have something here."
"What is it?" She reached out to touch it, but touched the man's fingertips that had not yet been retracted.
