Chapter 178 It's Not Her Fault
While He Qiaoyun didn't reply to his messages, Liu Biao stared at his phone, feeling frustrated.
He suspected that He Qiaoyun and Feng Jiashu were having an affair, but he had no evidence.
So he searched all over the city for Feng Jiashu, and finally found him downstairs at the Feng Group building.
*
That afternoon, Feng Jiashu was leaving get off work as usual when he was stopped in the lobby on the first floor.
Seeing that Liu Biao was up to no good, the assistant instinctively tried to stand in front of Feng Jiashu, but Feng Jiashu turned his head and said to him, "You can go home first."
The assistant glanced at Liu Biao again, "Dong..."
Feng Jiashu turned his head, swallowing back the words his assistant hadn't finished saying, and nodded gently, "Okay."
The assistant then left.
Liu Biao sized up Feng Jiashu, looking at his sophisticated yet roguish suit, his eyes filled with disdain. "You work here? You're doing pretty well, with subordinates accompanying you."
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly and gestured to Liu Biao, "Let's talk over here."
Liu Biao followed him to the coffee shop next door.
The two sat down, and the waiter handed them a menu. "What would you like to drink?"
Liu Biao glanced at the menu and said, "An Americano."
Feng Jiashu: "Just like him."
The waiter smiled and said, "Okay, please wait a moment."
Liu Biao casually crossed his legs, stared directly at him, and remained silent for a long time, exuding an imposing aura.
Feng Jiashu didn't say anything either, just looked at him.
After the coffee was served, Liu Biao said, "Did you make plans to go out with Qiaoyun during the National Day holiday?"
He was a rough man, but not stupid. Based on what they said when he left last time, it wasn't hard to deduce that he must have made an appointment with her.
Feng Jiashu raised an eyebrow. "Since you guessed it, I won't hide it from you anymore. Yes, she agreed to travel with me during the National Day holiday."
Liu Biao felt slightly disappointed, but his face showed great displeasure. He asked again, "When did you ask her out?"
Feng Jiashu was quite frank, saying, "September 25th."
Liu Biao did the math, scoffed, and consoled himself, "She's only a little earlier than me. No wonder she was so vague with me. Oh well, she's an honest and trustworthy person, so I can't blame her."
Feng Jiashu smiled faintly, "Now that you know, don't make things difficult for her."
Liu Biao scoffed lightly, still with a disdainful attitude, "Why should I? I want to go too."
If you can't beat them, join them, stir up trouble, and then take the opportunity to steal their territory. This is a principle he learned from doing business. Doing business is essentially about interpersonal relationships, and since it's about interpersonal relationships, it applies everywhere.
Feng Jiashu hadn't expected him to act unpredictably. He frowned slightly, feeling like a scholar encountering a soldier—there was no way to reason with him.
Liu Biao took out his phone, showed his WeChat QR code, and said in a very shameless manner, "Have you booked your flight and hotel? Book one for me too, I'll transfer the money to you."
Feng Jiashu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, slightly lifted his eyelids, and said in a calm tone, "Sorry, no."
Liu Biao, though unconvinced, retorted confidently, "What's wrong with that?"
Feng Jiashu looked at him and said, "Put yourself in my shoes. If you had arranged to meet Qiaoyun first, and I wanted to cut in on your plans, would you have agreed?"
Liu Biao laughed, "Of course I agree, why wouldn't I agree?"
Anyway, it wasn't him who asked her out first, so it doesn't matter... he thought to himself.
Feng Jiashu: "......"
"This guy's like a scoundrel, you can't reason with him..." he thought to himself.
Seeing that he was silent, Liu Biao urged, "Hurry up, have some sense of perspective, okay?"
Feng Jiashu couldn't reason with him and was too lazy to waste his breath, so he stood up and said, "It's getting late. My kids are waiting for me to come home for dinner. You should go home early too."
The QR code page that Liu Biao had been displaying for a while turned off. He didn't insist anymore, but put away his phone and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he followed him out of the coffee shop, went to the parking lot outside to get the car, and left.
He has plenty of ways to get things done if he doesn't order them for him.

After selling the last batch of grapes, He Qiaoyun immediately found helpers to apply organic fertilizer to the longan trees to replenish the nutrients consumed during the fruiting season, and to prune the branches affected by pests and diseases.
I was busy until the 29th before I finally finished all the work.
She noticed that Liu Biao hadn't been chatting with her much these past few days, and even when they did, he didn't ask about her plans for the National Day holiday, which puzzled her.
But despite her confusion, without his incessant questioning, her chaotic thoughts gradually calmed down.
That evening, Feng Jiashu sent her a National Day travel itinerary.
On the 1st, I set off from Haicheng and headed north, but I traveled by high-speed train.
Feng Jiashu said: "Haicheng is in the south, where it's evergreen all year round. Taking the high-speed train this season, you can clearly feel the changing seasons along the way, which I think is a very romantic thing."
He Qiaoyun's time watching the bullet train wasn't too long, less than two hours for each trip, which was quite nice. After enjoying the scenery along the way, she took a plane back.
This arrangement is incredibly thoughtful.
She replied happily, "I'm really looking forward to it."
As a result, she didn't sleep well all night, and her dreams were filled with images of going out with him.
On the morning of the 30th, fearing traffic jams, she got up early, packed her luggage, and set off for the city.
Actually, autumn in the South is quite beautiful; you just need eyes to see it.
As dawn broke, the lush trees along the mountain road were shrouded in a layer of cold mist, just like the poet's description of "chaotic clouds and green mountains at dawn," a scene that evokes awe in every Chinese person at all ages.
Slowly, the sun rose, and the car left the winding village and headed towards the wide highway.
About an hour later, she returned to the city. When she checked the time, it was only seven o'clock, which was when many people were getting up. The city was still very quiet.
Fortunately, we avoided the morning rush hour.
I was in a rush to leave this morning, so I only ate a couple of bites of biscuits to tide me over before I left.
After parking the car, she took her luggage upstairs and then went downstairs to have breakfast.
Today is the 30th, a workday. She sat in a noodle shop, leisurely watching the hurried passersby outside through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Having a job has its advantages: job stability and someone paying for your social insurance and housing fund. Not having a job also has its advantages: freedom.
Every way of life is a way of living.
After finishing breakfast, it was only eight o'clock. Although she got up early, she also went to bed early, so she didn't feel sleepy. She then went to a small supermarket.
When she arrived, the students were almost leaving, so she helped organize the shelves.
Tomorrow is National Day, and Xiao Ye asked with a smile, "Sister, do we get a holiday for National Day?"
He Qiaoyun was in a good mood and replied, "Give them a break. There aren't many people here during the National Day holiday anyway, so let's give them a seven-day break with pay."
Their eyes lit up. "Really?"
He Qiaoyun smiled, "Of course, I was going to tell you, but I was busy with the orchard in the village the other day and forgot about it. I hope that notifying you now hasn't delayed your plans?"
The two shook their heads vigorously, "No, no, not at all."
"That's good. I'll leave work early tonight and go home to rest."
The two nodded vigorously, "Thank you, sister, you're so kind. We don't know where we'd find such a good boss again without you."
