Chapter 372 - 151 Her Proposal
Quan Shaoqing tossed the document in his hand onto the table and said indifferently, "Do you really want to collaborate with this kind of invader to open a mine? They’re the kind that devour people without even spitting out their bones."
"They’d have to be able to swallow me first," Quan Gui replied, holding a teacup and taking a sip, his tone icy cold. Despite his graying beard, he was still spirited and bright-eyed.
"I have no opinion, but if it were me, I’d never work with them. It would tarnish your reputation," Quan Shaoqing said as he stood up and dusted off his clothes. He lacked the talent for business, had no love for meticulous planning, and liked deception even less. He was altogether disinterested in such collaborations.
Quan Gui glanced at him and sighed involuntarily, "You! If only you had half your brother’s business sense, I wouldn’t have to worry about our lack of a successor."
The old man felt heavy-hearted as he set down the teacup and suddenly remembered something. Addressing Quan Shaoqing, who was about to leave, he said, "Didn’t you bring your wife home? As the elder of the family, I should meet her! Stop hiding her; no one in this house is going to steal her from you."
"Sure thing! Just keep your subordinates away from me. If she gets hurt by accident, I won’t take any responsibility," Quan Shaoqing hinted at the likes of Wen Lu who could perform the Invisibility Technique around Quan Gui. After all, having someone who could turn invisible by your side isn’t really safe, right!
Quan Gui was left speechless for a moment, then said to the beautiful woman beside him, "Tell everyone to stand down, and give them the night off."
"Yes, Chairman!" The gorgeous woman bowed respectfully and retreated.
Gu Xiaoxi, dressed in her clothes, came down the spiral staircase to find the room empty. While she was curious, she saw Quan Shaoqing pushing open a door on the second floor.
Seeing her, Quan Shaoqing immediately smiled and waved to her, saying, "Wife, over here!"
