Chapter 1361 I Still Want to Try It Myself

Qiu Haitang hesitated for a moment, then Fang Cheng stretched out his hand and gently shook hands with Zhong Huihuang, saying, "This is the first time we've met since graduation."

A trace of disgust flashed across Zhong Huihuang's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, and he still had a happy smile on his face.

At this moment, Meng Jiao suddenly asked, "Miss Qiu, I heard that you are going to work in Beijing? Which company?"

Qiu Haitang replied calmly: "It is a newly established company called Yan's."

"Yanshi?" Meng Jiao frowned and said in confusion, "I have never heard of it. But you are doing well in Chu Nan, and have become the top lawyer in the law firm, the top lawyer in Chu Nan. Why do you want to give up the kingdom you have worked so hard to build and come to work in a newly established small company?"

Qiu Haitang smiled slightly, "Yan's is not a small company, right? Besides, this is the capital after all, the stage is bigger."

Meng Jiao looked suspiciously at the car that Qiu Haitang and the others drove over and said, "Is that car from your company?"

Qiu Haitang turned around and took a look, then said, "Yes, it was sent to me by Mr. Pi, the chairman of Yan Corporation."

"Then you still say it's not a small company? Look at this car...it's actually a domestically made car..."

Meng Jiao looked like she had discovered some new world, with a hint of contempt in her expression.

Qiu Haitang was slightly stunned, then said: "Those who buy domestic cars are small companies? What kind of logic is this?"

"Look, our CEO Zhong drives an X7, which is in line with CEO Zhong's status and the status of a large company. If they buy a domestic car, you can tell at a glance that this company is not big."

Meng Jiao's tone contained not only contempt but also ridicule.

When they were in school, Qiu Haitang was called the school belle, while Zhong Huihuang was named the school hunk.

Meng Jiao has always liked Zhong Huihuang, but Zhong Huihuang only has eyes for Begonia.

So, she secretly competed with Qiu Haitang in studying, but ended up losing miserably.

Many people in school knew about what happened between the two of them.

Qiu Haitang naturally didn't take it seriously, but Meng Jiao always believed that if Qiu Haitang hadn't always been better than her, she might have been Mrs. Zhong now.

Therefore, in her heart, she has always been resentful towards Begonia.

"You can't say that. Some people like to keep a low profile..."

Yuan Ruoshuang felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so she hurried out to correct the situation.

A hint of pride flashed across Zhong Huihuang's face, and he said generously: "Yuan Ruoshuang is right. We can't just look at the surface of many things. In fact, I also like domestic cars, but for the sake of doing business, I have to buy a better car to show off..."

He said it modestly, but Begonia could hear the pride in his tone.

"It seems that Mr. Zhong is doing well. I heard that you have established a legal company. Not only does your business spread all over the country, but you also have business abroad..."

Begonia said slowly.

"Don't listen to other people's flattery. It's just that... I see everyone is here, so don't stand outside. Let's go into the private room and talk slowly."

Zhong Huihuang still spoke modestly.

"Yes, I've heard that the food here is good, but the price is a bit high. Ordinary people like us don't dare to come here casually. Today, Mr. Zhong is treating us, so we are lucky enough to do so."

Meng Jiao didn't bother about what car Qiu Haitang was riding anymore and said happily.

"It's just a meal, it's not that exaggerated." Zhong Huihuang said nonchalantly, "I've been working for more than ten years. If I can't even afford a meal, then I've worked for nothing."

As he said this, he extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Hearing his words, Meng Jiao, Fang Yuanyuan and others couldn't help but show admiration on their faces.

It is not difficult to treat someone to a meal, but treating someone to a meal in such a high-end consumption place is not something that anyone can do.

Qiu Haitang didn't seem to care about what he said. She turned around and glanced at the entrance of the parking lot. She didn't see any cars coming in. She didn't say anything else and walked into the hotel.

"First acquaintance?"

When the group arrived at the door of the private room and saw the name of the room, Meng Jiao said in astonishment.

"Yes, we just met. This is our first gathering in more than ten years. Let's see if we can recreate the feeling of first meeting each other."

Zhong Huihuang smiled lightly and said.

"Mr. Zhong is thoughtful." Meng Jiao nodded.

"Miss Qiu, please!"

Zhong Huihuang stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, allowing Qiu Haitang to go in first.

Qiu Haitang's eyes flickered for a moment, and she turned around and said, "Fang Cheng, Mei Wanting, you two have come from afar, so you should go first."

Fang Cheng and Mei Wanting walked in front, and the group entered the private room.

After everyone sat down, a middle-aged woman with a manager nameplate came in. She came to Zhong Huihuang with a smile on her face, bowed slightly and asked, "Boss Zhong, are all the people here?"

Zhong Huihuang nodded, "Well, everyone is here, let's serve the food. Oh, by the way, go to your wine cellar and get two bottles of Conti that I have stored in advance."

"Okay, Mr. Zhong."

The manager agreed very respectfully, turned and left the private room to arrange for the dishes to be served.

"Mr. Zhong, you still have wine stored here, or is it Conti? That must cost tens of thousands per bottle, right?"

Li Qingsong, who had been silent all this time, asked in surprise.

Zhong Huihuang said, "This is where I entertain VIPs, so I've stored some wine here. We've been graduated for more than ten years, and this is our first gathering. You are my VIPs, so... two bottles of wine are nothing, as long as everyone is happy."

Meng Jiao and others admired him very much and said repeatedly: "Mr. Zhong is really generous. We had this feeling when we were in school..."

"Yes, when we were in school, he was never mean to us classmates..."

"Well, I remember that I ate a lot of ice cream that Mr. Zhong treated me to..."

Meng Jiao said with a fascinated look on her face.

Back then, in order to pursue Qiu Haitang, Zhong Huihuang spent a lot of money to treat girls to meals and snacks, just to get these girls to say good things about him in front of Qiu Haitang.

So, back then in school, everyone knew that he was famous for being generous.

"Fang Cheng, I heard that you are doing well in Country U. Are you coming back for vacation or business trip this time?"

Zhong Huihuang took the flattery from those people calmly, and then asked Fang Cheng, who had been silent the whole time.

Fang Cheng said calmly: "Neither, I have already quit my job there and returned to China to develop my career."

"Ah? No way. We all heard that you have shares in a large financial group on Wall Street in the U.S. How come you want to return to your country to develop?"

Fang Yuanyuan said in astonishment.

"Although I have spent more than ten years in the U country, I still couldn't fit in. This time Qiu Haitang happened to be opening a law firm, so I came back."

The equation remains calm and composed.

"This... No way, you have such a bright future, but you are willing to give it up and come to work at Qiu Haitang's law firm?"

Li Qingsong also said with a look of astonishment.

Fang Cheng smiled calmly and said, "There's nothing to be reluctant about. Isn't this great? I also want to return to China, and I can work with my old classmates again. I couldn't ask for more."

Meng Jiao said: "If you really want to return to China for development, you might as well go to Mr. Zhong's legal firm. Mr. Zhong will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Before Fang Cheng could answer, Zhong Huihuang quickly said, "Meng Jiao, you can't say that... If you say that, aren't you trying to steal Qiu Haitang's girl?"

Meng Jiao glanced at Qiu Haitang without changing her expression and said, "Miss Qiu, I speak my mind, you won't be offended, right?"

Qiu Haitang smiled calmly, "No, I respect everyone's choice."

"Qiu Haitang, you want to start a law firm, I support you. But you don't have to be a vassal of a newly opened company, right? If you do, the risk is a bit high. If his company fails, won't it affect you?"

Zhong Huihuang thought about it and suddenly said with a worried look on his face.

Qiu Haitang said, "Yan will get up."

Her tone was firm and she seemed very confident.

"How about this, if you are short of funds, I can help you open a law firm." Zhong Huihuang was obviously unwilling, and said, "But I think it will be very tiring for you to open a law firm again. If you trust me, just come to my company and I will ask you to be the vice president of our company. In addition, I can give you part of my personal shares. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Meng Jiao, Fang Yuanyuan and others immediately looked envious.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a good opportunity?

Unfortunately, they did not earn the title of gold medal lawyers, so they naturally cannot compare with Begonia.

Qiu Haitang listened patiently and said calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for your kindness, but I still want to try it myself."

"Well... well, since you insist so much, I won't force you. So, your law firm, I'll invest in it, you'll always give me this opportunity, right?"

Zhong Huihuang said earnestly.
