Chapter 769 She Was Trembling with Anger

When the final sales figures were released, everyone was stunned.

Jiuyi Company alone had accounted for a staggering seventy-three percent of the total sales volume!

The owners of the other fashion companies looked at Qin Jiao and Shen Yi with envy, but it was mixed with admiration. They had to admit, Jiuyi’s ability to pull this off was undeniable.

After all, they wouldn’t have remained the leader in North City’s fashion industry for so many years otherwise.

Jinyi Company, with its bold designs, secured twelve percent of the orders this time.

They were a new company, having just set up shop in North City. Achieving such a result was considered pretty good.

However, it fell far, far short of their investment, the massive hype they had generated, and most importantly, Su Yuxi and Su Zeyuan’s expectations.

Besides, if any other company had landed that many deals, they wouldn’t have been so furious.

But this was Qin Jiao’s company!

At the time, Su Yuxi was so furious she was trembling all over. She only managed to maintain a final shred of composure after Su Zeyuan reminded her.

Naturally, the Jinyi Company staff left promptly after the trade show ended.

Meanwhile, Qin Jiao and her team went straight to Jiu Yi Restaurant to treat the employees who had worked so hard all day.

‘It’s great that the boss’s family also owns a restaurant.’

‘You never have to worry about not getting a private room.’

After dinner, Qin Jiao spoke up. “Brother Ji, could you take Xiao Yue home? It’s so late, and I’m worried about her going by herself.”

Jiang Xiaoyue muttered from the side, “It’s not even that late, and there’s a tram.”

“This is safer. It’s almost the end of the year.”

Around the end of the year, some people who lost money gambling and couldn’t pay their debts would resort to desperate measures, like muggings.

It wasn’t just for Jiang Xiaoyue; Qin Jiao had Ji Changxing and the security personnel he’d brought with him make sure all the female employees got home safely.

Ji Changxing, of course, agreed without hesitation, promising to see every female employee safely to her door.

Meanwhile, Qin Jiao and Shen Yi got in their car to head home.

Shen Yi hadn’t been drinking. He smiled as he started the car. “Jiao Jiao, you’re usually the one who takes Jiang Xiaoyue home.”

After all, Jiang Xiaoyue’s house wasn’t far from theirs.

Qin Jiao said, “Brother Ji is interested in Xiao Yue, but he’s too afraid to make a move. I’m giving them a chance to spend some more time together.”

Qin Jiao wasn’t really one for matchmaking.

‘If those two have chemistry,’ she thought, ‘all I need to do is create an opportunity, and sparks will surely fly.’

‘But if they don’t click, if they’re just not each other’s type…’

‘…then it doesn’t matter how much anyone else tries to help.’

Shen Yi couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s a very zen approach to matchmaking you’ve got there.”

“I wouldn’t call myself a matchmaker. At most, I’m just creating an opportunity for them.”

Meanwhile, the subject of this opportunity, Jiang Xiaoyue, was just now realizing. “Hey, you don’t have to go out of your way to drive me,” she said. “My place is right near Xiao Jiao’s.”

Ji Changxing looked at the young woman who could be so sharp one moment and a little clueless the next. He thought for a moment before suggesting, “Maybe the two of them wanted some time to talk privately?”

Jiang Xiaoyue actually considered this seriously and concluded that was very likely the case!

Seeing that she bought it, Ji Changxing didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

The drive wasn’t actually that long, less than half an hour. Ji Changxing decided to test the waters. “Xiao Yue, have you ever thought about settling down and starting a family?”

“I haven’t, really. I’m pretty happy with the way things are now. Have you, Brother Ji?”

Ji Changxing’s grip tightened on the steering wheel. “Yeah,” he said softly. “I have.”

Jiang Xiaoyue smiled and asked reflexively, “Oh? What kind of woman do you like, Brother Ji? I can see if I know anyone. If I do, I’ll introduce you.”
