Chapter 207 The Enviable Qiao Erqiang
The reason why Qiao Yicheng treated Ye Xiaolang in this way was because he knew clearly that she was not a woman who was content with what she had. She really needed company now, and he could also provide her with the necessary funds for studying abroad. As for other formal girlfriend relationships or marriage, Ye Xiaolang didn't have to think about it.

Ye Xiaolang is a smart woman. Although doing so will make her lose face and put her under moral pressure, it is still the best situation for her.

As expected by Qiao Yicheng, Ye Xiaolang finally stood at the same bus stop the next day. Qiao Yicheng looked at the familiar figure who had been waiting there for a long time, smiled silently and stopped the car.

After Ye Xiaolang got on the bus, Qiao Yicheng drove away from the bus stop without saying anything.

"Xiao Lang, after get off work, just wait for me at this bus stop!
If there are any special circumstances, I will inform you in advance, and then you can take a taxi back to the courtyard by yourself!"

"Huh? Okay! I understand!" When facing Qiao Yicheng, Ye Xiaolang no longer had any arrogance.

Glancing at Ye Xiaolang beside him, Qiao Yicheng twitched the corners of his mouth, then stared at the traffic ahead and said, "Give me your account tomorrow, and I'll transfer $10,000 to you first!"

"Ok!"

Qiao Qiqi was very surprised to see Ye Xiaolang coming to their house again, but she didn't say anything against it. At the age of eleven, she already knew a lot of things. Seeing that her elder brother Qiao Yicheng had never had a girlfriend, Qiao Qiqi began to get anxious.

The three of them had dinner happily. Ye Xiaolang took the initiative to clean up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them, just like the hostess of this courtyard house.

"Brother, that's great! You finally have a girlfriend!"

Hearing his brother Qiao Qiqi's sigh, Qiao Yicheng smiled silently but did not explain anything to him. After all, discussing adult matters with a child felt too cruel.

Qiao Qiqi already had her own room. After dinner, she would just watch TV and then go to her room to rest.

Seeing Qiao Qiqi return to her room, Ye Xiaolang glanced at Qiao Yicheng next to him, and suddenly became a little nervous when thinking about what was about to happen.

Seeing Ye Xiaolang's nervousness, Qiao Yicheng said with a smile, "Xiaolang, go take a shower first!

Go buy some of your own clothes and daily necessities tomorrow!
As for those in the staff dormitory, just leave them there!"

After hearing Qiao Yicheng's arrangement, Ye Xiaolang obediently went to take a shower. Looking at Ye Xiaolang coming out of the bathroom, Qiao Yicheng showed a sly smile.

The night was filled with wind and rain, and Qiao Yicheng contentedly fell asleep with Ye Xiaolang in his arms. The next morning, Qiao Yicheng woke up feeling refreshed, but to his disappointment, there was no spoils he wanted on the bed.

Knowing that this was not Ye Xiaolang's first time, Qiao Yicheng didn't dwell on it anymore. After all, both parties were just getting what they needed.

When Ye Xiaolang saw Qiao Yichen's inquiring eyes, he clearly realized something and turned his head away with some regret.

After breakfast, he first sent Qiao Qiqi to school, and then took Ye Xiaolang to work. When passing by the bus stop, Qiao Yicheng first dropped Ye Xiaolang off, and then drove to the unit alone.

After the first few days of unfamiliarity, Ye Xiaolang slowly accepted this reality and no longer resisted the hidden relationship with Qiao Yicheng as he did at the beginning.

This kind of life continued every day until the end of 1987, when Ye Xiaolang had returned to her hometown in Anhui to celebrate the New Year, leaving Qiao Yicheng temporarily single again.

As the end of the year approaches, units have begun distributing New Year's goods and supplies. Top units like CCTV have always offered the best welfare benefits.

When he got off work, Qiao Yicheng carried bags of New Year's goods and went downstairs to drive out of the company.

"Hey! Director Qiao, how can you carry such a heavy thing? Let me help you!"

After the thing in his arms was taken by the other party, Qiao Yicheng was surprised to find that it was Song Qingyuan. It seemed that this guy was quite discerning and started to flatter him as a leader.

"Song Qingyuan, you've been doing pretty well recently!

Don't you need to accompany your girlfriend Liu Xiaomeng anymore?"

"Hehe, Director, you misunderstood!

Liu Xiaomeng is not my girlfriend!
We are just ordinary colleagues who came from Nanjing together."

"Haha!" Qiao Yicheng smiled disapprovingly after hearing Song Qingyuan's explanation and stopped worrying about this issue.

Song Qingyuan helped Qiao Yicheng put the New Year's goods distributed by the unit into the trunk of the car. Looking at Song Qingyuan who was still standing outside the car and saluted him, Qiao Yicheng rolled down the window.

"Song Qingyuan, thank you for helping me get things today!
If you don't mind, I'll treat you to dinner!"

"Ah? Great! Thank you, Director Qiao!"

Seeing Song Qingyuan acting like a waiter, Qiao Yicheng felt helpless. Fortunately, he had known for a long time that Song Qingyuan had a strong background, otherwise he would have been deceived by his appearance.

I have worked hard all the way to where I am today, but Song Qingyuan is a real "second-generation official" with a background that is far more profound than mine.

Song Qingyuan is a social expert. As soon as he got into Qiao Yicheng's car, he started talking non-stop, trying to get closer to Qiao Yicheng through verbal communication.

"Director Qiao, I heard that your two sisters are big stars?"

Qiao Yicheng glanced at Song Qingyuan in the passenger seat in surprise, and gave Song Qingyuan an intriguing look.

Seeing Qiao Yicheng's eyes, Song Qingyuan suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. The biggest taboo in the workplace is to inquire about the family privacy of colleagues, let alone their superiors.

"Director Qiao, please don't misunderstand!
I'm a fan of your sister!
Haha, just a casual question out of curiosity!"

"Oh? A fan? I have two sisters. Which one of my sisters are you a fan of?"

"Haha, Director, I like both of your sisters very much!

But I like Qiao Sanli more!"

"Boy, you have good vision!

You are lucky today, my sister Qiao Sanli is at home!"

"Huh? Really?"

"Song Qingyuan, why are you so excited?
When we get to my house, I'll ask my sister to sign for you, okay?"

"Thank you, director!"

Because Qiao Sanli and the others returned to the Siheyuan to celebrate the New Year with him this year, the task of picking up Qiao Qiqi from school was given to Qiao Sanli. Sanli and Simei have both grown up, one is nineteen and the other is eighteen.

What makes Qiao Yicheng feel most depressed is that Qiao Erqiang has completely become a playboy, with various female companions around him every day, which makes Qiao Yicheng suspect that Qiao Erqiang is the destined protagonist.

As the eldest brother, he was simply weak compared to Qiao Erqiang, which made Qiao Yicheng envious and jealous.

The four siblings of the Qiao family were all surprised to see their eldest brother Qiao Yicheng bringing his colleagues home, because Qiao Yicheng rarely interacted with others and didn't like strangers coming to his home.

"Erqiang, Sanli, this is my colleague Song Qingyuan, he's visiting our house today!"

"Oh! Brother, the food is ready!"

"Well! Let's eat first!
By the way, Sanli, Song Qingyuan is your fan.

You should give him a personally signed CD later!"

"Okay! Big brother, I got it!" Sanli smiled when she heard her big brother's order.

Song Qingyuan excitedly exchanged glances with Qiao Sanli, their expressions as if they were on a pilgrimage, sending a chill down the spine of Qiao Yicheng. "Erqiang, where's your girlfriend from Hong Kong?"

"Brother, my name is Wang Zuxian!

I've told you so many times, but you just can't remember!
She felt a little unwell today and went back to her room to lie down!"

It’s not that Qiao Yicheng really can’t remember, it’s just that he envied Qiao Erqiang too much. Shaw Brothers had just signed Joey Wong from Taiwan when she was seduced by Qiao Erqiang. Seeing how much they loved each other, it seemed like they were planning to get married.

"Wang Zuxian? Is she the heroine Wang Zuxian from A Chinese Ghost Story?" Song Qingyuan said in surprise.

"Song Qingyuan, why are you so excited? She's not your girlfriend!"

"Hey, I was so excited that I was rude!"

"Hey! That's not right! I remember that "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released in July this year, but it didn't seem to be released in mainland China!

Song Qingyuan, how did you know about this film?

"Huh? My friend brought me a disc of A Chinese Ghost Story from Hong Kong!"

Dinner was made by Qiao Erqiang. As a senior foodie, although Qiao Erqiang has been working in the entertainment industry for a long time, he still has not given up his love for food.

In his spare time, he often went to various restaurants in Hong Kong to search for delicious food. After Qiao Erqiang mixed into Hong Kong's upper class society, he began to regard himself as a gourmet and often went out to serve as a judge in food competitions.

"Song Qingyuan, these are simple home-cooked dishes! You're welcome!"

"Thank you, Director Qiao! The food Mr. Qiao cooks is delicious!"

"Oh? Song Qingyuan, you also know my second brother?"

"Director Qiao, everyone at CCTV knows that your second brother is the general manager of the famous Qiao Film and Television Company. Of course, I know that too."

At this time, Qiao Erqiang's girlfriend Wang Zuxian came out of her room. Seeing Qiao Yicheng and Song Qingyuan, she smiled and said, "Brother, do we have guests at our house today?"

"Huh? Yes! This is my colleague Song Qingyuan!
I heard you weren't feeling well today, have you seen a doctor?"

"Brother, I'm fine!
It's just a common cold! I'll feel much better after a good night's sleep!"

"Ah Xian, wait a minute!
I made some porridge for you, you will feel better if you drink some!" Only then did Qiao Erqiang remember that there was porridge made for Wang Zuxian in the kitchen.

Seeing Qiao Erqiang treating Wang Zuxian so sincerely and the happy smile on Wang Zuxian's face, although he was envious, Qiao Yicheng was also happy from the bottom of his heart to see Qiao Erqiang find true love.

Looking at the happy atmosphere of the Qiao family, Song Qingyuan, as a guest, was very impressed and realized that all the members of the Qiao family were capable people.

Qiao Simei seemed to be hesitant to speak at the dinner table. Qiao Yicheng had of course noticed it a long time ago, but since there were guests present, Qiao Yicheng didn't ask anything.

After dinner, Qiao Yicheng took Song Qingyuan to the study for tea and showed him some of his precious collections. Qiao Yicheng was a master of calligraphy and of course he loved collecting handwritten works by famous calligraphers of all ages.

Song Qingyuan was shocked when he saw Qiao Yicheng's numerous collections, "Director Qiao, it turns out you really have a lot of hidden treasures!
He turned out to be a hidden master of calligraphy!"

"Haha, it's just a personal hobby!

Also, from now on, in private, just call me Yicheng!"

"One percent?"

"That's right! It sounds more comfortable this way!"

"Yicheng, I have a cousin who also loves calligraphy. I'd like to introduce her to you if I have the chance!
I feel like you two will definitely become close friends of the opposite sex!"

"Haha, I must get to know him if I have the chance!" Qiao Yicheng guessed that it was Xiang Nanfang.

Seeing their eldest brother Qiao Yicheng taking Song Qingyuan to the study, the four siblings of the Qiao family were a little surprised, because Qiao Yicheng never let them into the study.

"Sanli, it seems that Big Brother values Song Qingyuan very much!"

"Hmm! It seems like this is the first time that Big Brother has brought guests here!

Oh, my brother asked me to give Song Qingyuan a signed CD, and I almost forgot about it! " Sanli suddenly remembered something and hurried back to her room to get the CD.

When Qiao Yicheng was seeing Song Qingyuan off, Qiao Sanli handed him a signed CD. "This is my CD. I hope Mr. Song likes it!"

Song Qingyuan took the CD from Qiao Sanli with surprise and said gratefully, "Thank you, Miss Qiao!"

"You two are being so polite!

Sanli, you can just call him Qingyuan from now on!
Qingyuan, just call me sister Sanli!"

"Brother Qingyuan!"

"Sanli!"

After hearing what Qiao Yicheng said, Song Qingyuan and Qiao Sanli smiled at each other and changed the way they addressed each other.

After seeing Song Qingyuan off, the Qiao family prepared to rest, but seeing that Qiao Simei still looked hesitant to speak, Qiao Yicheng shook his head helplessly.

"Simei, you look very worried today. Is there something wrong?"

"Brother, I want to study abroad!"

"You're going abroad? With your grades, is there any need for you to study abroad?"

"Brother."

"Brother, Simei and Congshan are good friends, and now Congshan has gone abroad!
So Simei also wants to go abroad!" Qiao Sanli on the side quickly explained.

"It seems Cong Shan is going abroad to get married, right? Do you, Qiao Simei, also want to marry a foreigner?"

"No! No! Brother, I just want to go out and take a look!"

"Hey! It's up to you! Erqiang, please help Simei go abroad!"

"Got it, big brother!"

“Qiao Simei, I told you that after you become an adult, I will no longer ask about your affairs!
Now that you want to go abroad, I won’t force you to stay!
I will give you $200,000, and I will not interfere in your affairs anymore!"

"Brother, thank you!
Don't worry, I'm going abroad to study!
I won’t marry a foreigner!”

"Haha! I hope you can keep your promise!"

Qiao Yicheng really lost all trust in Qiao Simei, and he didn't have any expectations of her. When she suggested going abroad, Qiao Yicheng just turned a blind eye to it to save himself the trouble.

Qiao Yicheng agreed to Qiao Simei's plan, and the family became happy again. Looking at the four brothers and sisters of the Qiao family who were gradually getting better, Qiao Yicheng felt very proud. This was the result of his years of hard work and management.
