After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 450 This is a friendship, not a transaction.

Zhou Haoran had originally planned to mediate between Qiao Suiqing and Jiang Minsi.

After all, I've never experienced something like this before.

Somewhat embarrassing.

What's even more awkward is that Jiang Minsi is several years older than Qiao Suiqing.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Suiqing was much more at ease. Upon seeing Jiang Minsi, she warmly took her arm and said with a smile, "You must be Teacher Jiang. I've heard Haoran mention you before!"

Jiang Minsi was a little embarrassed, "I...I don't know how it happened..."

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Haoran immediately objected. "You sound like you're complaining?"

"I'm not wronged..."

Jiang Minsi drew out her words, feeling awkward and unsure how to respond.

Qiao Suiqing stood up and said reproachfully, "Zhou Haoran, we sisters are having a talk, don't be here!"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran was stunned for a moment.

"Go out..." Qiao Suiqing checked the time, "Come back in three hours."

Zhou Haoran was shocked to be kicked out of the house and said in astonishment, "I haven't eaten yet!"

Qiao Suiqing said, "Go find somewhere to eat. It's awkward for us sisters to talk when you're here."

"you……"

Zhou Haoran met her gaze and realized she was serious.

Qiao Suiqing came over and pushed him, "You should get out of here..."

Zhou Haoran said cautiously, "Then you two mustn't fight. Talk things out. You're all family, so you must get along well. It took countless lifetimes of cultivation to be sisters in this life, so you must cherish it."

"Oops, I know."

Qiao Suiqing pushed him to the door.

Zhou Haoran looked inside and said, "Teacher Jiang, Suiqing is the older sister. Please offer her a cup of tea in a little while. Sisters should get along well... If there's any minor disagreement, come find me and I'll help you mediate."

Jiang Minsi pursed her lips, "No, I... I will get along well with my sister."

Zhou Haoran breathed a sigh of relief before leaving the house.

I think it would be good to give them both some alone time.

Women are more likely to open up to each other when they whisper secrets.

After leaving the house, Zhou Haoran thought for a moment and then made a phone call: "Sister He Jin, this is Haoran."

"Ah."

"Are you at home?"

"at home."

Are you available today?

"It's convenient. Come on over if you want. We can celebrate together."

He Jin was very happy.

Because the company had already issued an official notice and distributed the document, she was successfully promoted to deputy director of the personnel department of the lifestyle channel.

Zhou Haoran arrived at her house quickly.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

He Jin warmly welcomed them.

Zhou Haoran complained, "I didn't eat. Qiao Suiqing kicked me out of the house."

He Jin couldn't help but chuckle, "Did you two have a fight?"

"No."

Zhou Haoran shook his head, unsure of what to say.

He Jin said, "Go wash your hands quickly. I made some noodles; let's have something simple."

After washing his hands, Zhou Haoran returned to the kitchen and sat down like a lord, waiting for the bowls, chopsticks, and tableware to be set out on the table. He then asked, "Sister He Jin, has your appointment as deputy director been finalized?"

"I just got off today." He Jin brought over a bowl of egg noodles and said with a light laugh, "I was thinking of inviting you to dinner sometime when you have time, but I didn't expect you to come here after a fight."

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "I came to you to vent my frustration."

He Jin rolled her eyes at him and said reproachfully, "Eat first, stop thinking about playing around with women. I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter?"

Zhou Haoran took the chopsticks from her and ate his noodles in silence.

He Jin sat down beside him, serving him food as she solemnly said, "I was promoted to deputy director today, so I'm now qualified to read some high-level documents. I've discovered something quite important."

"what's up?"

Zhou Haoran looked up at her.

He Jin said, "One of the editors in your program's writing team is named Song Susu. She is Song Yongjun's daughter."

"Huh?" Zhou Haoran was somewhat surprised, "Our program?"

He Jin nodded slightly, "Yes, it's your 'Everyone's Art' program."

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "This Song Yongjun is truly omnipresent; he's actually managed to plant people in his ranks."

He Jin said very seriously, "You have to be careful about the 'Family Matters' thing. If you ask me, don't promote Song Susu. Don't give her any opportunities to rise."

Zhou Haoran didn't take it seriously and laughed, "Song Yongjun doesn't have that much ability. He's checking the accounts. I'm just adding fuel to the fire. He might end up in trouble himself while he's checking."

"There's something else I've heard about, but I don't know if it's true or not; I'll have to verify it."

"Oh?"

"Our HR director, Director Qin, seems to have a close relationship with the booth manager..."

He Jin gave him a knowing look.

Zhou Haoran was taken aback. "Zhan Yushan?"

He Jin hesitated and said, "I've heard this kind of talk before, but there are a lot of these kinds of nonsense stories in the company, so I didn't take them seriously. This time, I was promoted to deputy director, and Director Qin talked to me. He was being sarcastic and asked me how I got in touch with the exhibition booth manager. I felt something was off."

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I did talk to Zhan Yushan about your matter."

"Really?"

He Jin opened her eyes wide.

Zhou Haoran analyzed, "You were promoted by pulling strings with Zhan Yushan, but how would outsiders know about this? Director Qin knows the inside story, and he probably got the information from Zhan Yushan privately."

He Jin twitched the corner of her mouth, "Then what do you think about the two of them..." Zhou Haoran nodded, "It's most likely true. Zhan Yushan's wife and children are in the United States. It's not surprising that he has a mistress in China."

"Sigh! Men!" He Jin snorted disdainfully, then sighed softly, "So this is the path Director Qin took. I always thought..."

Zhou Haoran said dismissively, "This has nothing to do with us!"

He Jin said wistfully, "I've also embarked on this path."

"you?"

Zhou Haoran stared intently at her.

He Jin said bitterly, "You know, I only got promoted after sleeping with you, so what's the difference?"

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "The difference is huge. We're good friends. Even if I hadn't slept with you, I would still try to help you. It's different from what they do. This is friendship, not a transaction."

Hearing him say that, He Jin felt much better and sighed, "I've also realized that in a workplace like ours, you really can't get by without a powerful backer."

Zhou Haoran pointed at himself.

He Jin smiled and said, "Yes, you are my support."

After eating and resting for a while, I went to take a shower.

Zhou Haoran, caught up in the moment, decided to do something reckless in the bathroom.

He Jin stopped him in time, warning him, "Stop fooling around. This bathroom isn't soundproof. People upstairs and downstairs can hear you. Go to the bedroom."

"Shall we go to the living room?"

Zhou Haoran made a bold suggestion.

"Ah."

He Jin readily agreed.

She went to the living room and first had him sit on the sofa. She turned on the TV and turned up the volume before turning around, placing a sofa cushion on the floor at his feet, tying her hair up, and kneeling down on it.

It was past 8 p.m.

Zhou Haoran checked the time and figured it was about time, so he stopped lingering. He got up, dressed, and prepared to leave. He glanced back at the beauty lying on the bed and asked, "Sister He Jin, shall I come over again next week?"

He Jin sat up and tied her hair with a hair tie. "Next week might not be possible, it won't be convenient. You can still come over this weekend."

"I'm not free this weekend."

Zhou Haoran's schedule was all arranged.

These next few days, we'll introduce Teacher Jiang and Aunt Wan to Qiao Suiqing. It's an inevitable hurdle; there's no point in avoiding it. The weekend will be a family gathering. The four of us will go for a stroll through the Suzhou gardens; it's not too far anyway.

When it comes down to it, your own woman is the best.

Take clothing, for example.

If this were Teacher Jiang or Aunt Wan, he would definitely come over to serve him while he was getting dressed, and might even eagerly put on his socks. He Jin, however, was different; she was only concerned with her own enjoyment and lacked the awareness to serve a man.

After getting dressed, Zhou Haoran took out another 10,000 yuan from his bag. "Sister He Jin, here's the money for you."

"Give me money again..."

He Jin's already flushed face turned even redder.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "This is your allowance."

"Where would you get pocket money, ten thousand at a time?"

He Jin bit her lip, wanting to accept but too embarrassed to.

"Here you go, take it."

Zhou Haoran reached out.

"Should I kneel down to receive it? To satisfy your sense of accomplishment?"

He Jin looked ashamed and indignant, her phoenix eyes wide open.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Either way, it's up to you."

He Jin gritted her teeth and snorted, "I'll kneel then, I won't take any money, I'm not stupid."

Zhou Haoran handed her the money, saying nonchalantly, "What's there to be embarrassed about? No one else knows. With money, you can buy bags, cars, and houses, and live a refined life. That's true dignity and respect in public."

He Jin took the money, stood up, and sighed softly, "I've thought it through. I'll stay with you for a year or two, then let's break up. Otherwise, my outlook on life will become distorted, and my values will be led astray by you."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "They'll probably get tired of it in a year or two."

"You've gone too far!"

He Jin was so angry that she rushed over and hit him.

Zhou Haoran ran off laughing.

He Jin closed the door.

She felt aches and weakness in her lower back and legs, as if her body had been drained, and a sense of emptiness came from nowhere. This made her realize that she had made a huge mistake; she shouldn't have used her body to please others...

But when I got back to the bedroom, I saw a stack of money on the bedside table.

My heart felt warm.

Hopefully, he won't get tired of it after a few or ten times.

……

Before going home, Zhou Haoran made a phone call to his family.

Qiao Suiqing answered the phone and chuckled, "Haoran, where are you?"

"I was just about to go back," Zhou Haoran said, showing concern for the two of them. "How are things going between you and Teacher Jiang?"

Qiao Suiqing said cheerfully, "Minmin and I get along well."

Zhou Haoran breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That's fine then."

Don't come back tonight.

"what?"

"Minmin and I are going to live together. We're sisters, and we've just met. We have so much to talk about. Don't be a third wheel."
