“Mr. Ming, this dinner is on us, OK? Otherwise, I would be ashamed to accept this gift.”

In fact, this moisturizing cream was invaluable, and many rich women would pay any price to get it.

Ming Qi didn’t resist anymore. “Okay, then.”

Sheng You’s handsome face was horribly gloomy, and suddenly something was pushed in front of him.

Ming Qi smiled. “Mr. Sheng, this is for you.”

Sheng You was stunned. “For me?”

“Yes.” The two sitting opposite were Sheng Yang’s parents, so Ming Qi was very respectful towards them.

Only then did Sheng You’s face soften slightly, and Kang Weizhen also leaned close to see what the present was. A gift given by Ming Qi certainly wouldn’t be ordinary.

Sheng You opened the box. There were a few pills inside. As soon as he opened the box, the strong smell of medicine wafted towards his face.

Ming Qi said, “These are Great Tonic Pills, specifically made by me. I think Mr. Sheng must be very busy with work and it must take a lot of energy. These pills can give you strength.”

Sheng You thought something didn’t feel right as he listened. Was Ming Qi implying that he wasn’t strong enough?

But Kang Weizhen liked this gift. This was very suitable for Sheng You.

She wanted to spend more time with her daughter, so she didn’t work as hard as before. Therefore, the heavy burden was on her husband now, so he had to work even harder than before and often stayed up late.

But Sheng You didn’t look happy at all. Even as he left with Kang Weizhen after dinner, he still looked moody.

After they left, still sitting in his seat, Ming Qi picked up a red wine glass, sipped it, looked at the wonderful view outside, and was in good spirits. He felt that he performed very well today, which made up for his previous mistake in which he almost signed a contract with Jiang Xinyi.

Back then, he only knew that Jing Xinyi was Little Sheng Yang’s aunt and Sheng Yue was her cousin, but he had no idea that they weren’t on good terms.

At this moment, his cell phone rang. He glanced at the screen and immediately frowned unhappily. “Hello.”

The caller was the financial giant who had quarreled with him last time, Lu Zhiyuan. He had businesses all over the world and had a very keen nose for economics.

In Ming Qi’s eyes, this guy had nothing but money. He was also one of the people saved by Little Sheng Yang before.

Lu Zhiyuan’s sneer rang over the phone. “Why didn’t you sign with the second son of the Sheng Family?”

His tone was full of ridicule.

Ming Qi was immediately annoyed. “So you knew?!”

He bragged about this to Lu Zhiyuan, but he just laughed and didn’t say anything. He thought Lu Zhiyuan was just being jealous. After all, they had been vying for Sheng Yang’s favor.

However… it turned out that Lu Zhiyuan had known the Sheng brothers weren’t on good terms, but Lu Zhiyuan hadn’t told him at all!

“Yes.” Lu Zhiyuan was lying on a long soft leather sofa. From this angle, he had the best view of New York. At this time, it was late at night in Yan City, while in New York, the evening was just getting started.

“You old fox!” Ming Qi gnashed his teeth with anger.

“I view that as a compliment.” Lu Zhiyuan took a sip of brandy. “You know, all businessmen are profiteers.”

They could get on well with each other, but whenever it came to Sheng Yang, they were like concubines competing for the king’s favor in a harem.

Lu Zhiyuan chuckled and a gleam flashed across his eyes…
