I Have a Wealth Gathering Array-Chapter 424: Just Acquaintances

Hu Shanshan’s words immediately caused a lot of surprise among the people.

At this moment, the middle-aged man, whose clothes had been dirtied and who was angry, slightly changed his expression. Then, with a smile on his face, he looked at Qin Xiaotao and said, "Manager Qin, do you know this lady?"

He was also in the clothing industry, but his scale was not large, only about a few billion. The power behind Celestial Fortune had quickly brought down Lailuo Clothing, which was worth tens of billions. How could he dare provoke Celestial Fortune?

He knew that the founder of Celestial Fortune, Qin Yun, was the cousin of this Qin Xiaotao in front of him.

With just a few words from Qin Xiaotao to Qin Yun, if Celestial Fortune decided to target them, it would be disastrous.

Seeing the middle-aged man’s inquiry, Qin Xiaotao did not pretend not to hear. He nodded and smiled, "I know her."

There was nothing to hide since he did know Hu Shanshan, but that was all there was to it.

"Alright, since Manager Qin knows this person, I won’t pursue this matter." Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man directly smiled and said.

Looking at the situation, Qin Xiaotao did not stand up for this woman, so it seemed their relationship was probably just average.

However, hearing this woman call out Qin Xiaotao’s name before, their relationship seemed not so simple.

Although Qin Xiaotao would not stand up for the woman, it was best to be on the safe side. There was no need to risk provoking Celestial Fortune over a piece of clothing.

"Manager Han, I’m sorry again." The supervisor kept bowing his head and apologizing until the middle-aged man, Manager Han, walked away.

"Hu Shanshan, be more careful in your work!"

Then the supervisor scolded Hu Shanshan in a low voice.

Because of Qin Xiaotao’s relationship, she didn’t say much, merely said a sentence, and hurried off.

Moreover, Hu Shanshan felt very complicated at this moment. Just the name Qin Xiaotao made the middle-aged man not pursue it. Otherwise, she would surely have to compensate.

"Shanshan, do you... know Qin Xiaotao?"

At this time, Cheng Jing, beside Hu Shanshan, asked in surprise.

She had spoken of Qin Xiaotao before, but she hadn’t expected Hu Shanshan to actually know him.

She was previously worried that Hu Shanshan’s issue might affect her, but now she was very curious.

"Yes." Hu Shanshan nodded, looking at the distant figure.

After she said they knew each other, Qin Xiaotao didn’t look at her and walked away into the distance.

Watching his back, seeing him chatting and laughing with the executives and managers of billion-dollar companies, Hu Shanshan bit her lip, unsure of her feelings. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

She had left Qin Xiaotao because he earned too little money.

At that time, Celestial Fortune’s scale wasn’t significant, and Qin Xiaotao’s monthly salary was less than twenty thousand.

In her view, this small salary would take who knows how long to afford a house in Jinling.

Even if Celestial Fortune continued to develop and Qin Xiaotao’s salary increased, compared to Zhang Yuancheng, who had already fully paid for a house and car and settled in Jinling, Qin Xiaotao was clearly not comparable.

So, even though she knew Qin Xiaotao treated her well, she still chose Zhang Yuancheng without hesitation.

But now, in less than a year, Qin Xiaotao has become the regional manager of Celestial Fortune Province, with an annual salary of over a million.

And he also looked quite good. The current Qin Xiaotao had already completely outpaced Zhang Yuancheng.

This potential was something she had discarded back then.

If she had known Qin Xiaotao would achieve such success, she would never have chosen to leave.

Feeling uncomfortable, Hu Shanshan suddenly felt a hint of unwillingness; when she got into trouble earlier, Qin Xiaotao didn’t react at all, treating her completely like a stranger.

In the past, a situation like this would never have happened.

Seeing Hu Shanshan nod, Cheng Jing asked softly, "Then what’s your relationship with Qin Xiaotao? I heard he doesn’t have a girlfriend now..."

Before she could finish, Hu Shanshan interrupted her, quickly asking, "Jing, did you just say Qin Xiaotao doesn’t have a girlfriend?"

"Yes."

Cheng Jing nodded and said, "This information was shared by a friend who works at Celestial Fortune, but it’s from over half a month ago. As for now, I’m not sure."

She looked at Hu Shanshan, curious, "Shanshan, are you friends with Qin Xiaotao? If so, you should know his situation better than me, right?"

Shaking her head, Hu Shanshan didn’t say anything. She didn’t know what she was thinking at the moment.

The hotel business meeting ended soon.

"Haha, Manager Qin, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation with Celestial Fortune in the future."

Others said with smiles all over their faces.

Qin Xiaotao chatted with them while walking out of the hotel.

Meanwhile, Hu Shanshan watched Qin Xiaotao leave. She made her way to the hotel restroom and made a phone call.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off."

There was no answer.

"Blocked?"

Hu Shanshan’s face changed slightly; it was Qin Xiaotao’s number, and the voice prompt suggested that he had likely already blocked her.

Gritting her teeth, Hu Shanshan opened WeChat, entered the number, and attempted to add Qin Xiaotao on WeChat.

But after adding, there was no response.

Around two or three in the afternoon was the hotel’s break time. Hu Shanshan left the hotel and went to the Celestial Fortune office building.

"Hello, I’m looking for Qin Xiaotao." She approached the front desk of the Celestial Fortune building and inquired.

The receptionist looked at Hu Shanshan and smiled, "Miss, do you have an appointment?"

Celestial Fortune wasn’t a small company anymore, and Qin Xiaotao was now the head of Su Province. It’s not like just anyone could come looking for him without reporting it. If they did, they would get scolded.

"Just tell him Hu Shanshan is looking for him." Hu Shanshan quickly said.

Hearing this, the receptionist understood.

"I’m sorry, miss. Without an appointment, I cannot relay your message." The receptionist politely said.

Hearing this, Hu Shanshan didn’t know what to do. She thought for a moment and said, "Please let him know if you see Qin Xiaotao."

"Okay." This time the receptionist did not refuse and nodded.

Standing at the base of the Celestial Fortune building, Hu Shanshan didn’t leave and waited in silence, waiting for an hour.

At this moment, Qin Xiaotao came out of the office.

"Li, tomorrow morning, Deputy Manager Zhang Dahua from Luyuan Textile will be coming, let me know." Qin Xiaotao instructed.

"Okay, Manager Qin."

The receptionist quickly nodded and, seeing no other instructions, said, "Manager Qin, earlier a girl named Hu Shanshan was looking for you."

"Hu Shanshan?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaotao nodded and said, "I know. In the future, if she comes looking for me, you may refuse her directly."

The receptionist quickly agreed, thinking that it was fortunate she hadn’t called Qin Xiaotao earlier; otherwise, she would have gotten scolded.
