Volume 1 Chapter 45 Just A Cannon Fodder

  Hao Garden

  Two rows of waiters bowed to each guest who came in for dinner, with a respectful bow. The luxurious decoration proved that the consumption here was not cheap.

  At Hao Garden, you can enjoy imperial treatment, of course, you also have to pay the same standard of money.

  Bai Xiao Fan seems to be a distinguished guest here, as soon as he arrives, even the general manager comes out to greet him in person. But he doesn't care, turns his head to look at Qiao Qi who is muttering behind him, and waves at her like calling a pet.

  Qiao Cui immediately stepped forward and stood beside Bai Xiaofan. This standing position made a striking contrast between her petite figure and his tall stature, making her look like a small bird leaning on someone.

  Bai Xiao Fan nodded in satisfaction and patted Qiao Tai's head, saying calmly to the general manager, "Old position."

  "Understood, understood." The general manager hastily replied and led the way.

  In the luxurious private room, Qiao Cai felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. This was her first time having a formal dinner with Bai Xiaofan. Fortunately, it wasn't just the two of them; Zhang Yi was also there. Otherwise, she would have been so nervous that she wouldn't even know where to put her hands.

  The menu was presented one by one, and Qiao Yu casually picked up a copy to take a look. The more he looked, the more shocked he became! The menu was made extremely exquisite, with several languages marked inside, and the prices were astonishingly expensive. A ordinary bowl of borscht soup actually cost hundreds of dollars!

  Qiao Cai is not doing well at all...

  Bai Xiaofan and Zhang Yi quickly ordered their meals, leaving only Qiao Tai still hesitating. In the end, Bai Xiaofan took charge and directly ordered a meal for Qiao Tai that was exactly the same as his own.

  Qiao Tuo quietly calculated in her heart and then tugged at Bai Xiaofan's sleeve under the table, saying softly: "That... seems to be a bit expensive."

  Bai Xiao Fan pulled on Qiao Tai's sleeve and said disapprovingly, "Consider it your pay in advance."

  Qiao Chuan was suddenly stunned, his sparkling eyes looking at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

  Bai Xiao's thin lips curled up slightly as he said lightly, "I want you to do something for me. Tomorrow, go to the Qin Group to discuss the new car insurance and bring back the contract."

  This largest automobile company in the capital city originally had a bundling relationship with Qin's insurance. Now that Bai Xiaofan has taken over this car company and is facing the need to develop new cars, whether from a profit or other perspective, the first choice for insurance companies is always Qin's insurance.

  But Qiao Cai didn't want to do it as soon as she heard, she didn't want to see Qin Lan again, "Why...do I have to go?"

  "Because I'm busy." White Big Boss said matter-of-factly: "Originally, Qin Lan insisted that I go in person to negotiate, but I was temporarily busy and didn't have time for her, so you went instead. After all, you're the designer of this new car."

  Qiao Tong bit her lip and hesitated: "That... means I'll see Qin Lan?"

  "Alright." Bai Xiao Fan looked at Qiao Ting's face, which had fallen in an instant, and thought of Qin Lan's intimidation earlier. His eyebrows furrowed. "Are you afraid of her? I can have Zhang Yi accompany you together."

  "That's not necessary." Qiao Tuo shook his head silently.

  Then, she suddenly stared at Bai Xiaofan with a piercing gaze, her small mouth curved into a silly smile, and said: "Actually, you're not busy, are you? You just don't want to see Qin Lan, do you?"

  Or perhaps Bai Xiao Fan was thinking of that person just like her, yet didn't want to see that person.

  She can understand his feelings!

  Qiao Cui felt a little sympathetic towards Bai Xiaofan and couldn't bear to refuse, so she readily agreed: "I understand, it's no big deal, I'll go in your place!"

  Anyway, Bai Xiao Fan has helped her so many times before, now she helps him back once, it's also what should be!

  Bai Xiao Fan looked at Qiao Tai's innocent smile, his handsome face slightly cold, he clearly knew she had misunderstood him, but he didn't explain, letting her continue to misunderstand.

  The waiters brought up dish after dish, each one exquisitely crafted and full of flavor. But Qiao Sai was getting a little anxious because he had been too tense earlier and now had an urgent need to use the restroom.

  She cleared her throat and looked at Bai Xiaofan and Zhang Yi, saying somewhat awkwardly: "I'll go to the restroom first."

  After Qiao Chu left the private room, Bai Xiaofan ate silently and elegantly, but in a very mechanical way. It was clear that he didn't like this kind of programmed meal.

  "She seems to have misunderstood something." Zhang Yi said calmly.

  Bai Xiao Fan didn't say a word and continued eating, his handsome face exceptionally cold.

  "You were actually using her just now, weren't you?" Zhang Yi pushed his glasses up, a glint of sharpness flashing across the lenses.

  As expected, Qiao Cui was just an existence that stimulated Qin Lan for Bai Xiao Fan. In short, she was just a cannon fodder.
