Chapter 110 Trade Relations

Gu Jinghe paused slightly, his thick eyebrows drooping, and smiled faintly. "Mr. Bieber, to be honest, I'm a little confused and uncertain about the future. Could you give me some valuable advice?"

Bieber smiled, his eyes revealing a gentle and kind look, seemingly more affectionate than when he looked at his wife. He deliberately leaned forward, gently patted Gu Jinghe's shoulder, and comforted him, "Young man, don't be too anxious about the future. You have many paths to take."

He then changed the subject, "However, if you want my advice..." He paused for a moment, then continued, "I work in the field of economics and trade. If you'd like to learn more, feel free to contact me anytime."

Gu Jinghe smiled politely, "Thank you for your suggestion."

On the other side, Qiao Xiao was talking to Elisa.

Elisa took the initiative to bring up the topic of love.

Elisa: "Joe, the man next to you looks very attractive."

Qiao Xiao, feigning infatuation, replied: "Yes!"

Elisa: "He must really like you."

Qiao Xiao shook her head, looking bewildered: "But he seems to be very focused on his career and doesn't spend much time with me. I really want to keep him. What can I do, Mrs. Elisa? I can't live without him!"

Elisa stared at Qiao Xiao in astonishment. This girl's level of affection seemed to be even more serious than she had imagined; it was truly unbelievable.

She began to doubt the intelligence the organization had given her. She had heard that the girl in front of her had single-handedly killed many of her subordinates, but she didn't know if it was true or not.

If it's fake, they'll leave this time-wasting place immediately. If it's real, then this girl is such a good actress; they actually fell for her acting.

Qiao Xiao was clearly losing patience; her face twitched involuntarily. She hadn't expected herself to be so exaggerated and her acting so clumsy.

Elisa didn't expose her behavior because exposing her would do more harm than good and would bring absolutely no advantage. Although she had never witnessed her strength firsthand, of course, those who had seen it were already gone for good.

Bieber and Gu Jinghe's conversation ended, and they happily completed the chat they had been looking forward to.

Gu Jinghe: "I think we should go back."

Bieber: "Well, your little girlfriend is still chatting with my wife."

Gu Jinghe smiled shyly and said, "She's not my girlfriend yet, so it's not appropriate for you to say that (and describing her as my little girlfriend is also wrong)."

Bieber finally saw a different side of Gu Jinghe. In their conversation just now, his wording was flawless, almost perfect, and he exuded a composed and mature demeanor.

Bieber: "You two will be together."

Bieber spoke confidently, and Gu Jinghe smiled, but the smile was not from the heart; it was an unusually cold and bitter smile, because he knew that this was simply impossible. Why should he do something that was impossible? Even though he was very unwilling!

The conversation had died down at this point, and Gu Jinghe didn't continue the conversation with Bieber. Instead, he stood silently to the side, unmoved.

Bieber smiled and eased the tension, "Let's go, let's go find Alyssa and the others now."

Gu Jinghe nodded politely, his face cold.

They said goodbye to their neighbors and then went back together.

But soon after, Gu Jinghe spoke up, saying, "Their identities are not right."

Qiao Xiao asked, "Have you noticed something?"

Gu Jinghe: "That guy who called himself Bieber, without anyone introducing me, always seemed to imply in his words that he knew a lot about me, my age, and the university I attended."

Qiao Xiao: "Okay, I understand. So, what did he recommend to you? Or did he steer the conversation to another topic?"

Gu Jinghe: "As expected, he will take me to trade activities, probably because he wants to become my trading partner."

Qiao Xiao: "What are your thoughts?"

Gu Jinghe: "Yes, I can cooperate with him first, establish some kind of connection with him, and then make plans."

Qiao Xiao: "That's a great idea."

Suddenly, Gu Jinghe's phone rang.

"It came from Kefa. Our school is going to hold some events soon, and some alumni who graduated many years ago will be returning to their alma mater. This is a good opportunity to start a business."

Qiao Xiao asked, "Ke? Who is Ke?"

Gu Jinghe: "One of my business partners, by the way, Qiao, I have a few skincare products here. Your skin is all damaged, and I thought you would need these, so I took the liberty of buying some for you."

Qiao Xiao looked at the skincare products Gu Jinghe took out of his bag with a helpless expression, but she accepted them because she really needed them; discretion is the better part of valor.

Gu Jinghe didn't expect Qiao Xiao to accept it. He looked at her with surprise and delight, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world, feeling sweet inside and seemingly very grateful that she accepted his gift.

Qiao Xiao remained indifferent to his reaction. Although she felt a little sorry for him, what could she do?
