“You… you have already hit me! Why can’t you show me some concern?” Gu Xia slapped Shen Liao’s hand away angrily.

“You’re so afraid of loneliness, but I don’t see you finding a girlfriend.” Chi Yexi raised his glass and clinked glasses with Yan Qingqing and Gu Xia.

“Our Jiaojiao isn’t married yet. How can a brother beat his sister to it?” Gu Xia said seriously.

Yan Zhengchen looked at him and said from the bottom of his heart, “Gu Xia, I admire you for this. Your skin is so thick. You manage to turn the fact that no one wants you into such a noble reason.”

“Hahahaha…!”

Everyone laughed out loud.

“Hey, hey, hey, you can’t bully me like this!” Gu Xia looked at Chi Jiao aggrievedly and blinked. “Jiaojiao, are you just going to watch as they bully me?”

“Who asked you to provoke Shen Liao?” Chi Jiao shrugged helplessly, not planning to help him at all.

“Alright, stop fooling around.” Gong Lu gently pushed his glasses up his nose bridge as if he could read Chi Jiao’s mind. “Jiaojiao, you gathered everyone here today because you have something important to say, right?”

Chi Jiao blinked and shook her head helplessly. “Indeed, nothing can be hidden from Brother Lu. Actually, I called you guys over today to ask for your help.”

“Do you need our help, or is it that little boyfriend of yours who needs it?” Chi Yexi narrowed his eyes at the thought of Quan Jue.

Chi Jiao blinked and replied matter-of-factly, “Brother Chi, Brother Quan and I are one. Helping him is helping me. Moreover, I asked you for help this time of my own accord. Brother Quan has no idea about this.”

Yan Qingqing swirled her wine glass elegantly. “Jiaojiao, it’s only right that we help you. It’s just that you put in so much effort to deal with it, but the other party doesn’t know of it at all. Wouldn’t all your efforts be in vain?”

If Chi Jiao didn’t say anything, Quan Jue probably wouldn’t know that this little girl had quietly done so much for him, right?

Chi Jiao’s eyes lit up with gentleness as she talked about Quan Jue. “There’s no need to be so calculative between us.”

She wasn’t helping him to gain any benefits from him. She just felt sorry for him and wanted to help him.

Yan Zhengchen’s gaze trembled slightly. He seemed to understand Chi Jiao’s feelings. He pursed his lips and pondered for a few seconds before touching her head. “Looks like our Jiaojiao has really grown up. Tell me, how do you want us to help you?”

Chi Jiao smiled brightly. She turned around and took out a few contracts from her briefcase and distributed them to everyone. “These are the documents I’ve drafted, regarding collaborations between my brothers’ companies and the Quan Corporation. We hope that you can work with Quan Jingzhou, to invest in the Quan Corporation and support their upcoming bridge construction.”

Chi Jiao had asked around. Recently, ZF had invested in the construction of a bridge across the river. This was a huge project, and every large corporation was very jealous and wanted to take on this project. However, ZF only put up half of the project funding for now. Only when the construction was completed would they pay out the full amount. This meant that the corporation that took on this project would have to fork out money for the other half of the construction materials.

This was indeed a profitable business deal. After completion, it would greatly increase the company’s reputation.
