Qiao Yuan looked so servile. He thought it was extremely funny to see Meng Yao being humiliated. He was bullied and beaten by her when he was a child, but now he has finally become a liberated serf and is singing!
Meng Yao was so angry at him that she was speechless.
"Okay, Boss Meng, I'm not kidding you anymore. Brother Rong wants to talk to me about something. We have something to discuss after the banquet. But I'm really heartbroken that you try to avoid me when you see me. When we were kids, you bullied me by relying on your fat body. I haven't even tried to avoid you yet, why are you doing this to me?"
It turns out that Rong Yan was also to blame for this matter.
Meng Yao felt that she had absolutely nothing to talk about with Qiao Yuan.
"Why don't I see your female companion?"
Seeing that there was no one around him, Meng Yao boldly guessed another possibility. Could it be that Qiao Yuan brought Meng Qingqing directly to the banquet
Meng Qingqing is very charming. After attracting Qiao Yuan, it is not impossible for Qiao Yuan to be unable to leave her for a moment.
Qiao Yuan was wearing a suit and tie, looking even more serious than before.
"I didn't bring a female companion. This kind of banquet is not an occasion where you can just bring a young model." Qiao Yuan sighed with regret: "What a pity, what a pity, I missed another chance to be with a beautiful woman. If we could have talked her out, maybe we could have even arranged a candlelight dinner!"
Meng Yao curled the corner of her mouth. In the old Mary Sue literature, it was not uncommon to see a second male lead like Qiao Yuan who was a playboy and amorous.
However, after Qiao Yuan said this, she discovered a problem. There was not a single enchanting beauty in the room. They were all dignified and noble women with extraordinary temperament.
"The women here..."
Qiao Yuan smiled and said, "What woman? It should be Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Liu... They are all powerful figures in the circle of noble ladies. You should eat less sugar. It is said that eating too much sugar will make you stupid. I didn't believe it at first, but from the look on your face, it is probably true."
Qiao Yuan also encouraged her: "When you have nothing to do, you should hang out with them more often. These ladies are very capable and are all very smart people. You should learn from them and correct your bad habits."
Just like Qiao Yuan didn't listen to his advice, Meng Yao's suggestions to him also went in one ear and out the other.
As a female villain, there is no need for her to change her bad habits, and there is no need for her to learn from those ladies.
"You really won't go around for a while last year?" Meng Yao still didn't give up.
Qiao Yuan raised the champagne in his hand and said, "You are such a boring person. I'm going to find Brother Rong."
Meng Yao was not happy with him, her tone revealed her annoyance: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Qiao Yuan smiled brightly, turned around and left.

At the annual meeting, there were toasts and cheers, and artists dressed up in fancy clothes could be seen everywhere. Some of them were wearing cool clothes in the middle of winter, and their purpose was obvious.
Meng Qingqing unexpectedly got the opportunity to attend the annual meeting, but she was not happy at all. Because she accidentally learned that it was because Meng Yao did not come to the banquet that she had such an opportunity. Meng Qingqing was very proud and had always gotten the best since she was a child, so she was very surprised about this matter.
This made her feel that this was charity given to her by Meng Yao, and she was picking up the broken things that Meng Yao didn't want. This was an extremely huge psychological blow to Meng Qingqing.
Looking not far away, all the investors on the scene were fat and had beer bellies. Meng Qingqing felt nauseous at just one look.
But her manager Liang Jiafen was still urging her: "Take this glass of wine and toast to Mr. Wang. See, that round-faced man with a blessed look? He is not an ordinary person. He is very generous with his investment! I didn't expect that you would get the opportunity to attend the annual meeting as a newcomer. It's also thanks to that idiot Meng Yao who didn't come. This is a good opportunity given to you by God. You must seize it well."
Liang Jiafen didn't know that every word she said was like a stab into Meng Qingqing's heart.
Meng Qingqing looked over and saw the burly Mr. Wang, who was extremely ugly, yet there were many beautiful women surrounding him and flattering him.
Meng Qingqing considers herself noble and thinks that those unspoken rules, flattery and the like are extremely disgusting. She thinks she is extraordinary and will have a great fortune in the future, so how could she be willing to do those dirty things like other people.
Liang Jiafen was originally smiling, but seeing Meng Qingqing was unmoved, she couldn't help but frown and push Meng Qingqing: "What are you doing here? Hurry up and go over there!"
Meng Qingqing gritted her teeth: "Sister Liang, I don't want to do this kind of thing..."
Liang Jiafen's face turned cold when she heard this: "I usually spoil you, but now you don't know who you are and you dare to disobey my orders! Everything I asked you to do is for your own good. Do you really think your Meng family is still the Meng family of ten years ago? Since your family has fallen into poverty, you should think more about how to make a difference! Look at Meng Yao, who is usually fearless. Why do you think she is like this? It's because she has a good sponsor behind her! If you were a little more sensible than Meng Yao, I wouldn't force you like this!"
Meng Qingqing knew who the big tree behind Meng Yao was. After hearing what Liang Jiafen said, she felt even more unbalanced. Why could a bad person like Meng Yao find a powerful person like Rong Yan to back her up, while she, Meng Qingqing, had to be forced to flatter and smile at this annual meeting
"You don't have to say anything more. I said I'm not going and that means I'm not going."
Liang Jiafen was so angry that she felt Meng Qingqing was really disappointing: "You really aren't going?"
"No."
"If you don't listen to me today, don't regret it later!" Liang Jiafen turned around and left the hall directly.
Meng Qingqing watched her leaving, and suddenly felt a little lonely and sad.
"Qingqing?"
Her first thought was not happiness, but wondering why Yu Manjin appeared here when she obviously did not get the opportunity to attend the annual meeting. Could it be that Yu Manjin used the financial connections behind her
At that moment, countless dirty thoughts came flooding out, with no end.
"Sister Yu, long time no see." Meng Qingqing smiled weakly.
In fact, ever since Meng Qingqing found out that Yu Manjin was being targeted and put on ice, she hasn't interacted with Yu Manjin much.
Her own resources have shrunk by more than half, so how could she possibly help herself
Yu Manjin held a wine glass in her hand, and the rim of the glass cast a streak of light under the light.
"I haven't seen you for a while. I've missed you a lot during this time. Don't you check WeChat? I sent you a message but you never replied."
A flash of panic flashed across Meng Qingqing's face for a moment, but then she calmed herself down and took a sip of the red wine in the glass.
She didn’t know if it was because of her mood, but she just felt that the wine was bitter and unbearable.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, Sister Yu. I don't usually check WeChat, so I neglected you for a moment."
The two of them drank face to face, like a pair of "difficult sisters".
Yu Manjin is not stupid and can see Meng Qingqing's coldness.
Ever since she was accidentally targeted, her good friends have stopped associating with her, and have been acting as if they will never see each other again. Back when she was popular, she was the object of everyone's fawning.
Yu Manjin couldn't help but sneer in her heart when she thought of this. She originally thought Meng Qingqing was simple-minded, kind-hearted and loyal, so she came over to chat with her, but she didn't expect Meng Qingqing's attitude towards her to be no different from that of others.
Yu Manjin's eyes turned cold: "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
Meng Qingqing glanced at her, no longer looking like the obedient junior she usually was: "Yeah."
Yu Manjin turned around and looked for her target on the field. She asked her high-ranking boyfriend to let her get the opportunity to come to the annual meeting. The goal this time was obvious. Yu Manjin was determined to make a successful comeback. Now this group of people were taking advantage of her and ignoring her. Soon she would make them pay!

Meng Yao’s biggest gain at the banquet was that she ate a lot of food, and the food tasted pretty good.
Meng Yao has eaten a lot of delicacies these days, and her taste has improved a lot.
Rong Wei had something to discuss with Qiao Yuan, so he asked the driver to take Meng Yao home. Meng Yao leaned over the car window and waved goodbye to Rong Wei, not forgetting the routine: "Husband, I'm leaving first~ Don't miss me too much~"
Rong Yan stood outside, nodded slightly, and said, "Be careful."
Meng Yao didn't hear what he said clearly. After she finished her "greasy talk", she retracted her head and closed the car window with a click. Her action was done in one go, so quick and smooth that it was jaw-dropping.
Meng Yao grabbed another handful of melon seeds, and said with no reluctance in her tone: "Master, let's go home."
From the car window, one can clearly see the scene outside, but from the outside, one cannot see anything inside the car. However, just seeing Meng Yao quickly retract her head was enough to make Qiao Yuan marvel.
"Boss Meng is so weird... Do you think she is affectionate or heartless? If she is affectionate, she shrinks her head so quickly. If she is heartless, she never misses a sweet word. She can say the love words more fluently than I can!"
Rong Wei retracted his gaze and looked at Qiao Yuan: "Let's go."
The two got into another car.
Qiao Yuan asked, "Is the previous news accurate? Is Rong Zhen really going home for the New Year? Hasn't he been back to China for several years? Why is he suddenly coming back now?"
When Rong Zhen was mentioned, Rong Wei's eyes were extremely cold: "He must have his own purpose. I think he has made some big moves recently..."
Qiao Yuan cursed, "You old fox, you're really endless... I'm also wondering about one thing. The Meng family has been getting worse over the years and it's probably related to Rong Zhen. You said that the Meng family has no grudges against him, so why is he biting them so hard?"
"Meng family?"
"It's Boss Meng's Meng family. Boss Meng's father is the current head of the Meng family. He's your father-in-law, Brother Rong!"
Rong Yan's eyes darkened: "I guess it's because of the old account..."
Five thousand today, plus one thousand yesterday, the third round has begun, it's another day to ask for votes~
