Chapter 286 Qing Li knows her
In the past, Zhou Ruoxuan had a lively and cheerful personality. She was a bit careless and ungirly, and her heartless look made people a little angry, but she was definitely not evil-minded.
But this time, He Jiangyu punished her while feeling deeply suspicious.
How could she become like this?
What changed her?
Although Zhou Ruoxuan affected his relationship with Qing Li, he still didn't want Zhou Ruoxuan to become a bad girl.
He Jiangyu would have never heard of thallium poisoning if it hadn't been for this time.
Zhou Ruoxuan not only knew it, but also took action.
He even wondered for a time whether someone had instigated her to do this and that she had been deceived.
But the results of his investigation were not like this.
Everything was planned by Zhou Ruoxuan, which directly subverted his impression.
Do people suddenly become vicious?
He Jiangyu couldn't think deeply about it, but when it came to Qing Li, he had to think deeply about it.
"Qing Li, Zhou Ruoxuan is no longer the Zhou Ruoxuan he used to be. You... still have to be careful," He Jiangyu said.
He thought that even if Qing Li wouldn't be moved after hearing these words, he would at least show gratitude, but on the contrary, there was sarcasm in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'm always wary of her."
After Qing Li said this, he saw off the guests. He Jiangyu left the courtyard and carefully chewed the meaning of her words.
He Jiangyu's car parked in the alley in front of the courtyard for a long time before driving away.
After seeing him leave from the surveillance camera, Qing Li started to do his own things and prepare for the competition tomorrow.
The next day, when she saw He Jiangyu at the competition site, she couldn't help but frown.
His guest seat was further forward than hers, and he seemed to be a special guest.
So it was funded.
Has he been very idle recently? Why would he participate in such a competition as a guest?
It's not surprising that Qing Li was confused, but everyone who knew He Jiangyu was confused. He was not an insider in the industry, and it didn't seem to be of any benefit to him. There was no need for him to waste his energy and time here.
Seeing Jiang Qingli among the guests, many people were surprised.
Do women follow their husbands?
I heard that the two were divorcing, so they attended this event together to put the rumors to rest.
The national competition is just an event for He Jiangyu.
Everyone speculated a lot, and soon several important faces appeared, and their attention shifted.
This time, most of the guests came for Master Yuyan’s friends. Some people said that Wen Chaoyuan was looking for a gimmick to attract attention.
But everyone who knows Wen Chaoyuan's strength knows that there is absolutely no need for them to say this.
Four people competed for the top three in the finals, and Xue Yunhe had the highest voice. After all, he was the successor of Master Yuyan, and his strength was there.
Next is a direct descendant of the Guangfu Sheng family, whose strength should not be underestimated.
The third place is the successor of Master Wen Chaoyuan, and the most inconspicuous one here is Zou Xiaolan.
As the fourth place, she is almost transparent. Although she is very famous in the past, it is because she is unknown and is a dark horse reaching the finals.
But in front of these three people, she felt a little inadequate and felt like she was just making up for the numbers.
Zou Xiaolan didn't look depressed at all. She had put in a lot of effort to get to this point, and she was very satisfied.
The guest seats were gradually filled up, and Mrs. Gu San came to sit next to Qing Li. She had not seen Qing Li for a long time and felt that she had lost weight.
"How is the matter between you and He Jiangyu?" Mrs. Gu San asked in a low voice.
It was obvious that he had heard some gossip, especially since He Jiangyu appeared on such an occasion, it would inevitably make people think nothing.
Qing Li was silent, not knowing how to answer.
I thought that after the one-month cooling-off period, the two of them would go back to their old ways and have nothing to do with each other anymore, but who would have thought that He Jiangyu would withdraw the divorce application privately.
She didn't know what state the two were in now.
Qing Li could feel that her attraction to He Jiangyu was gradually dissipating.
Seeing her silence, Mrs. Gu San sighed and said, "Your future is limitless, don't let a man stop you."
If this man is worth loving, that's another matter, but now He Jiangyu's performance is unsatisfactory, and everyone who knows them is dissatisfied with him.
No matter how strong they are in the financial world, they are not bad at all, so there is no need to wrong themselves.
Qing Li knew that Mrs. Gu San had good intentions, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's appropriate."
Mrs. Gu San stopped mentioning this matter and talked about the so-called friend of Master Yuyan.
"The reason why everyone is disgusted with this friend of Master Yuxi is not only because she appeared out of thin air, but also made random comments about Master Yuxi's affairs, which caused everyone's dissatisfaction." Mrs. Gu San's words were full of dissatisfaction.
Qing Li didn't comment at first, but Mrs. Gu San's next words shocked her.
"Speaking of which, this person knows you."
"know me?"
The woman Mrs. Gu San was talking about was naturally referring to Jiang Qingli, not Master Yuyan.
Mrs. Gu San glanced at Qing Li with pity, "You also know this person."
At this point, Qing Li became even more confused. Before they could continue talking, the competition scene suddenly fell silent.
Ten referees came on stage one after another. Qing Li saw a person inside and felt very familiar.
"She is Master Yuyan's best friend!"
The first three people to take the stage were Wen Chaoyuan's referees, and the fourth was a woman wearing a casual suit top, a hip-covering skirt, and black high heels.
The woman is about thirty years old. She is as beautiful as a twenty-year-old woman because she is well maintained. She also looks a bit charming because of the tear mole at the end of her eye.
Her dress is relatively formal, and she has the temperament of a leader within the system. She has a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, which is decent but not too serious.
This is……
Her cousin Xia Jinxuan!
If the memory is correct, Xia Jinxuan must be in her mid-thirties, the eldest daughter of her uncle's family, and she actually worked within the system before, as a department-level cadre.
How could she appear here!
Mrs. Gu San paid attention to Qing Li's expression, and saw that her expression turned calm after being surprised, without the slightest hint of joy, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She didn't want to confront Qing Li, not even a little bit.
But I think the older generation is now very dissatisfied with Xia Jinxuan's actions.
There was no other reason. She secretly talked about Master Yuyan in front of others, which seemed to highlight their relationship, but inadvertently revealed a lot of her personal information.
The reason why Mrs. Gu San knew about her relationship with Qing Li was naturally because Xia Jinxuan mentioned it in front of others.
There were many guests, but Xia Jinxuan still saw Qingli in the crowd because she looked a little dazzling.
"Xiao Qingli, you are here too."
Her voice was not loud, but because she was the person who attracted the most attention today, as soon as she opened her mouth, everyone's eyes followed her and fell on Qing Li.
"Why don't I see you participating in this competition? I heard that your level is pretty good. It feels so strange that you are sitting in the guest seat~"
Her tone seemed to be joking.
It's an ordinary thing to say, but I don't know why it makes me feel uncomfortable when I hear it in other people's ears, especially the ears of the person involved.
Mrs. Gu San's face immediately darkened. This Ms. Xia Jinxuan claimed to be familiar with both Master Yuyan and Qing Li, so she should also know about Qing Li's skill in calligraphy and painting.
Was it intentional to humiliate Qing Li by saying this in public?
At least from Mrs. Gu's perspective, these words were very unpleasant.
Before Qing Li could speak, a clear voice sounded.
"It's strange that President Xia is sitting on the referee's bench. Why, a state-owned bank can work part-time in other professions? I didn't know that President Xia is so versatile and actually knows how to calligraphy and painting."
The irony is obvious and not disguised at all.
Xia Jinxuan's smile froze, and her eyes moved slightly to look at He Jiangyu.
"I have resigned from the bank and now I am focusing on the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. This must be my brother-in-law."
Although, with Xia Jinxuan's level, he couldn't even see his secretary, oh no, their district-level leader couldn't even reach his secretary, but this "brother-in-law" made him calm down a lot.
He Jiangyu knew that the phrase "brother-in-law" was more to enhance her own status. After all, in the financial world, there was a huge gap in status between him and Xia Jinxuan.
Xia Jinxuan sat down amidst the host's greetings and did not continue talking to He Jiangyu.
She used to be the branch president of a state-owned bank. Her administrative level is similar to that of Beijing, and she is a department-level cadre.
This position may or may not be big, but it is really small, especially in front of He Jiangyu, it is simply not enough.
The only people who are qualified to see He Jiangyu's deputy are the top leaders of their branches, which shows He Jiangyu's status in the industry.
So she always felt a sense of oppression when talking to He Jiangyu.
The word 'brother-in-law' was tinged with a little vibrato, but it was not noticed by others.
After sitting down, with a few passionate opening remarks, the game officially began.
When the game started, everyone's minds were still focused on the few words of the argument. Faced with the CEO of He Group's defense, everyone looked at Qing Li differently.
It seems that this time, they are indeed here to clear up the rumors.
If they really want a divorce, Mr. He's boss won't directly retaliate just because of one sentence.
Qing Li couldn't help but glance at He Jiangyu's back, withdrew her eyes filled with thoughts, and looked at Zou Xiaolan on the stage.
I happened to see Zou Xiaolan give Xia Jinxuan a big eye roll, and immediately chuckled.
Xia Jinxuan is the referee, and she is not afraid of Xia Jinxuan at all.
The finals took one hour. Within this hour, four people completed paintings with the theme of "Worldly".
This theme is somewhat abstract and is more about personal life experiences.
People in their twenties don't have so much life experience and insights, they are all in the stage before courage, so the four of them are a little slow in writing.
An hour passed in a blink of an eye. When the four people presented their paintings in front of everyone, the judges also began to comment one by one.
The first three people reviewed by Xia Jinxuan were all smiling and gave very pertinent comments. When it came to Zou Xiaolan, her smile gradually faded.
"Xiao Qingli is your master, right? Although we are related, I have always been fair and just in dealing with people. Did you learn this kind of thing from her?"
