Chapter 207

Two Hong Kong Gold Medalists Secretly Jealous of the Protagonist, Leaving Neighbors Stun

"queue?"

Shen Miaozhu's eyes, which had been filled with admiration, instantly turned cold.

She is known as a cold and aloof queen among the wealthy families of Hong Kong.

Normally, it's always others who have to beg her, when did it become her turn to wait in line?

She looked Lou Xiao'e up and down, who was clinging to Zhang Huaimin's arm.

A burgundy evening gown was indeed elegant and luxurious, but the down-to-earth charm she exuded, emanating from the hutongs of Beijing, was ultimately undeniable.

"Mr. Lou is joking."

Shen Miaozhu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a reserved yet aggressive sneer.

"Business cooperation emphasizes equal strength and the combination of two strong forces."

"My Shen family's fleet worth billions is not something that just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can swallow up."

She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the four characters "阿猫阿狗" (cats and dogs).

His eyes revealed an undeniable arrogance.

"Mr. Zhang's 'satellite algorithm' can only realize its greatest value within the Shen family's vast shipping network."

"This is called a good match in terms of social status."

After Shen Miaozhu finished speaking, she deliberately took a small step forward to close the distance between herself and Zhang Huaimin.

A faint, sophisticated perfume scent wafted into Zhang Huaimin's nose.

"A good match in terms of social standing?"

Lou Xiao'e burst out laughing as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Instead of letting go of Zhang Huaimin's arm, she held on even tighter.

"Sister Miaozhu, you're being too polite."

Lou Xiao'e straightened her back and met Shen Miaozhu's gaze without showing any weakness.

"Huaimin and I have a friendship that started from the same courtyard house."

"I knew he was the one even before he became successful."

"What do you call this? This is called true friendship in times of trouble!"

Lou Xiao'e emphasized the words "suffering" very much.

The implication was clear: Shen Miaozhu, you're just a nobody who came along halfway through, only interested in Zhang Huaimin's current status and skills. Stop pretending to be so devoted.

Two women, one aloof and noble, the other graceful and assertive.

They sandwiched Zhang Huaimin between them, one on the left and one on the right.

The air seemed to be filled with the strong smell of gunpowder, and sparks crackled and popped.

Zhang Huaimin stood firmly in the middle, unmoved.

He watched these two powerful women in the business world, secretly competing like two little girls guarding their food.

I found it a little funny, but I also quite enjoyed it.

The feeling of being fought over by two stunning beauties is indeed quite nice.

However, he didn't want to waste his time on such pointless jealousy and rivalry.

"My two older sisters."

Zhang Huaimin gently withdrew his arm, his expression remaining calm and composed.

"Let's discuss business matters in the conference room another day."

He turned his head and looked at Lou Xiao'e.

"Sister Xiao'e, since you've made the rare trip back to the capital, why don't you come over to my place for a visit?"

Lou Xiao'e was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Great! I was just thinking of going to see your east wing."

She couldn't help but give Shen Miaozhu a smug look.

Shen Miaozhu was not about to swallow this insult.

"Mr. Zhang, this is my first time in Beijing, and I'm unfamiliar with the city. I wonder if I could have the honor of visiting your residence?"

Although she spoke politely, the firmness in her tone left no room for doubt.

"Of course, Miss Shen is a guest from afar."

Zhang Huaimin smiled and nodded.

then.

A business negotiation that should have taken place in a luxurious conference room.

In this way, with an extremely bizarre style, the scene shifted to the Hongxing Courtyard in Nanluoguxiang.

Early the next morning.

The elderly folks in the alley had just finished breakfast and were taking a stroll with their teacups in hand.

Sudden.

"drop--"

Two deep, authoritative car horns broke the tranquility of the alley.

Immediately following, two extended-length custom Rolls-Royce Phantoms, bearing prominent Hong Kong license plates and the "Spirit of Ecstasy" emblem on their hoods, appeared.

Like two noble steel behemoths, they slowly drove into this narrow, dilapidated alley.

Finally, it came to a steady stop at the entrance of the Hongxing Courtyard.

"Oh my goodness! What... what kind of car is this?!"

Yan Bugui, who was sweeping the ground at the gate, was so startled that he dropped the broom.

The most impressive car he had ever seen in his life was the Hongqi, owned by a high-ranking leader.

But these two cars in front of me, whether it's their length or their dazzling paint, are striking.

They are more than ten times more luxurious than the cars of top leaders!

The car door opened.

Two bodyguards dressed in black suits and white gloves stood respectfully by the car door.

Then.

Lou Xiao'e walked down the street with an elegant demeanor, wearing a beige trench coat and huge sunglasses.

On the other car.

Shen Miaozhu, dressed in a perfectly tailored black velvet suit and high heels, stepped out of the car with the grace of a cold and glamorous queen.

Two top socialites with net worths of billions and stunning beauty.

And so, carrying with them a suffocating sense of oppression that made ordinary people feel suffocated, they stepped into the gate of the Red Star Courtyard!

In the courtyard house.

The neighbors, who were washing vegetables and emptying chamber pots by the sink, were all stunned by what they saw.

Everyone, holding basins and bowls, stared blankly at these two celestial beings who seemed to have descended to earth, as if frozen in place.

"My goodness...who...whose deity has come to our courtyard this time?"

The three women rubbed their eyes, unable to believe their eyes.

"That...that's Lou Xiao'e?! She's like a completely different person!"

"Who's that woman in black? She's so elegant, even more so than the foreign princesses on TV!"

The neighbors whispered among themselves, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

In the front yard, under the big jujube tree at the entrance of the east wing.

Zhang Huaimin was lying on a rattan chair, leisurely basking in the sun.

On a small square table nearby, there were several plates of exquisite pastries and a pot of hot tea.

I saw Zhang Huaimin.

The two female CEOs who were just outside, cold and aloof.

The expression on her face instantly softened like a gentle spring breeze.

"Huaimin, the air in this courtyard is really better than on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong."

Lou Xiao'e walked over quickly and sat down next to Zhang Huaimin very naturally.

She casually picked up a clean purple grape.

Without minding the mess, she peeled the grape skins herself and then gently brought the glistening flesh to Zhang Huaimin's lips.

"Here, taste if it's sweet."

The sight made the neighbors nearby swallow hard.

A female CEO with a net worth of over 100 million yuan is peeling grapes for a young man like a timid wife?!

This completely overturned their understanding!

Shen Miaozhu was not to be outdone.

She gave Lou Xiao'e a cold glance, then walked to the other side of the stone table and sat down.

"Mr. Zhang, I've heard you enjoy drinking tea."

As Shen Miaozhu spoke, she took out an extremely exquisite white jade porcelain jar from her expensive handbag.

"This is a top-grade Wuyi Mountain mother tree Da Hong Pao that I specially brought from Hong Kong Island."

"Only when this tea is brewed in this set of Yixing teapots can you truly appreciate its flavor."

With graceful and skillful movements, she began to clean the teaware, scald the cups, and brew the tea.

Every movement is like a beautiful painting.

In just a moment, a rich and unique aroma of tea filled the entire front yard.

"Mr. Zhang, please have some tea."

Shen Miaozhu picked up a cup of tea with both hands, bowed slightly, and respectfully handed it to Zhang Huaimin.

A faint blush appeared on that cold and beautiful face.

This moment.

The entire Hongxing Courtyard has completely crashed.

The neighbors in the compound, regardless of age or gender.

They all held their rice bowls and leaned against the doorframes and windows of each house.

The eyeballs shattered and were scattered all over the ground.

What did they see?

Two stunningly beautiful women, clearly wealthy and influential figures.

They actually circled around Zhang Huaimin under this broken jujube tree.

One peeled the grapes by hand, while the other eagerly brewed the finest tea.

This is hardly a visitor's visit.

This is clearly a battle of gods vying for favor!

"Good heavens!"

Sha Zhu stood not far away, holding a lunchbox, his drool practically dripping down his face.

He watched as Zhang Huaimin embraced two top beauties, enjoying their company.

I was so envious my eyes almost turned red.

"My brother Huaimin, this is practically the Jade Emperor descending to earth!"

Sha Zhu slapped his thigh and couldn't help but sigh.

"Such extravagance, such good fortune with women—you won't find another like it anywhere else in the world!"

And in the dark corners.

Xu Damao hid behind the crack in the woodshed door, watching the scene in the front yard.

He was so jealous he almost chewed the door frame to pieces.

His ex-wife is now an unapproachable female CEO, yet she still acts so humble and subservient to others.

This sense of humiliation was worse than death.

Zhang Huaimin swallowed the grapes in his mouth, then took the tea that Shen Miaozhu handed him and took a small sip.

"Hmm, the tea is good, and the grapes are very sweet."

He put down his teacup and stood up.

He patted the dust off his clothes.

Looking at Sha Zhu, who was still grinning foolishly to the side.

"Brother Pillar".

Zhang Huaimin smiled faintly.

"Stop just watching the show."

"Your Quanjude-level restaurant should have its ribbon-cutting ceremony today."
