Chapter 1500: Chapter 1500: Unable to Coexist (6)
Xiao Ji didn’t speak. Mrs. Xiao sat down next to him and took the photo album from his hand: “Son, listen to your mother, stop thinking about her. She has a family, her child is several years old. You and her are not meant to be.”
“Mom, do you want to have a grandchild?” Xiao Ji paused for a moment and suddenly asked.
Mrs. Xiao was taken aback, not expecting Xiao Ji’s thoughts to leap like this.
“I dream about it all the time. You aren’t getting any younger, it’s time to marry and have children.” Mrs. Xiao continued, bringing up Little Pudding: “Little Pudding is really cute, looks exactly like Hongxing when she was little, clever and pretty.”
Xiao Ji handed the photo to Mrs. Xiao: “Here is a picture of her when she was a child.”
Mrs. Xiao leaned in to look: “The Creator is truly wonderful, Little Pudding looks just like Hongxing when she was young.”
“If only I had a daughter like Little Pudding.” Xiao Ji sighed lightly.
“You’re still young. You will meet a girl you like in the future. Son, stop being stubborn. You have to try to let go to find your own new beginning.” Mrs. Xiao advised for quite a while.
In the end, Xiao Ji persuaded Mrs. Xiao to go rest, while he spent the night in Su Hongxing’s bedroom.
The next morning, Xiao Ji arranged a meeting with Beichuan to state his intentions.
“You want to find a woman like Su Su?!” Beichuan was shocked.
“Yes, someone with a clean background, kind-hearted, most importantly must look like Xingxing. You know many women, you’re the right person for this.” Xiao Ji responded calmly.
“Why, you want to get married? Since you can’t have Su Su, you want to marry someone who looks like her?” Beichuan meant to say that no matter how much she resembles Su Hongxing, she could never be Su Hongxing.
He also wondered why Xiao Ji looked for him, considering they weren’t that close.
“No, I have other purposes, just help me with this.” Xiao Ji paused and continued, “Besides, I’m here to ask if Northern Group is interested in cooperating with our company.”
He was managing both business and personal matters simultaneously.
“Not interested!” Beichuan replied briskly.
“Don’t be too quick to reject. Recently, Ye Qilan has been ignoring you. Don’t you think he’s being very arrogant? To get someone to value you, you should show them your capabilities so they don’t underestimate you.” Xiao Ji smiled lightly as he spoke.
“How do you know he’s ignoring me?” Beichuan asked, studying Xiao Ji with suspicion.
It couldn’t be Ye Qilan himself who told Xiao Ji this, could it?
“How I know isn’t the point, the point is, he’s arrogant to a displeasing level. If the two of us join forces, we will surely accomplish something in the business world. Perhaps you don’t know, but Ye Qilan thinks you only know how to fool around with women, he looks down on you in his heart, that’s why he doesn’t want to be your friend. If I were you, I’d try every possible way to make him see you in a different light.” Xiao Ji finished speaking and stood up: “Think carefully about the collaboration and give me an answer when you’re ready. If you’re unwilling to cooperate, that’s fine, there will be opportunities in the future. But regarding the search for a woman, I hope you take it seriously.”
Beichuan watched Xiao Ji leave and took a while to regain his composure.
Northern Group cooperating with Hongkang Group? He had never even thought about it.
But Xiao Ji had said something very true, Ye Qilan does fundamentally look down on him. To make Ye Qilan unable to belittle him, he would have to show Ye Qilan some achievements.
Thinking this way, collaborating with Xiao Ji seemed like a natural course of action.
