"Chairman Ni!" Gu Rushan was surprised when she saw the fashionable Ni Jingqiu walking down.

Waving her hand, Ni Jingqiu smiled. "We're both around the same age, so you can just call me by my name, Jingqiu, in the future. I just greeted my guests, and I was about to go greet you guys."

"My parents came to Beijing to visit me. Were you the one who paid for our bill?" Gu Rushan awkwardly smiled.

"It's on the company's accounts, so I don't have to pay for it myself." Ni Jingqiu smiled as she winked.

Hearing those words, Gu Rushan immediately felt guilty about lying to her about her relationship with Su Tao.

"Why don't you bring me to greet your parents?"

Ni Jingqiu smiled upon seeing the complicated expression on Gu Rushan's face, which the latter immediately laughed, "Please, come with me!"

When Su Tao saw Ni Jingqiu walking over, he wryly smiled in his heart. This woman knew his actual relationship with Gu Rushan, and she's currently acting. But he's not in a position to expose the two of them.

"Hey, Su Tao! It has been a long time!" Ni Jingqiu winked in Su Tao's direction.

"Hello, Big Sister Jingqiu!" Su Tao purposely made Ni Jingqiu older in his address.

Although Ni Jingqiu maintained her composure, she was inwardly cursing him.

After that, Gu Rushan introduced Ni Jingqiu to her parents, "This is my friend in Beijing, and she was the one who paid for us."

"Thank you!" Zhang Fen immediately expressed her gratitude.

As Yuan Cui looked at Ni Jingqiu's dressing, she was shocked. To increase her taste, she had ordered fashion magazines, and she could tell that Ni Jingqiu's clothes were definitely expensive. Take the pendant on Ni Jingqiu's neck; for example, the gem was simply enormous!

Yuan Cui trusted her eyesight as someone from the insurance industry and understood that this woman was definitely wealthy!

As Ni Jingqiu greeted Gu Rushan's parents, cousin, and her cousin's wife, she waved her hand in Su Tao's direction. "I have some words that I would like to say to Su Tao!"

As Su Tao smiled, he followed Ni Jingqiu out to the nearby resting area.

"What's up?" Su Tao asked.

"I'm wondering about how you feel about meeting your parents-in-law!" Ni Jingqiu smiled.

"Nothing much. I can only say that it's not easy to find a wife these days." Su Tao smiled honestly.

"You need my help?" Ni Jingqiu rolled her eyes.

"What help?" Su Tao was intrigued.

"The difference in value varies for different people! I can help you brag for them to look at you with more value!" Ni Jingqiu sourly replied.

"Why? Why do you want to help me?" Su Tao asked.

"Because I don't want you to be so easily eliminated by Rushan's parents!" Ni Jingqiu guessed Su Tao's current straits and smiled. "You're an outstanding person, and Rushan's parents aren't much. So what gives for them to look down on you?"

"I'm the one being low-profile, and I don't like to flaunt my talents." Su Tao bragged on his inner qualities.

"Fine. I think that your fake relationship with Gu Rushan shouldn't be ended in this manner. At the very least, you need some interesting plots!" Ni Jingqiu then continued with a smug look. "Just watch my performance later!"

Hearing those words, Su Tao sighed in his heart. He had no idea what Ni Jingqiu was trying to play here.

After interacting with Ni Jingqiu, Su Tao noticed that she's a person that's cold on the outside and warm on the inside. If you're unfamiliar with her, you might think that she's a cold person. But after getting to know her, you will find a playful side to her.

The meal tonight wasn't joyful, especially with how the cousin's wife of Gu Rushan would often speak sarcasm to him and even basked herself in a bliss that made him feel disgusted.

The reason why he didn't want to fight with Yuan Cui was that he did not want to lower himself.

But seeing that Ni Jingqiu wanted to start a play, he'd just remain calm and see how it develops.

As Gu Rushan and the rest waited to the side, Yuan Cui whispered, "That woman's temperament seems impressive. What's her origin? Furthermore, her relationship with your boyfriend seems to be much better than yours."

"Her name is Ni Jingqiu, and she's the chairman of a listed company. She was the one that found a management company for me. At the same time, she's also Su Tao's patient, so they have a pretty good relationship." Gu Rushan patiently explained.

"Patient? What illness does she have?" Yuan Cui curiously asked.

Frowning her brows, Gu Rushan unhappily replied, "That is her privacy, and Su Tao did not tell me about it. Why are you asking so much?"

"He actually didn't tell you about it?" Yuan Cui muttered, "I think that Su Tao isn't sincerely devoted to you. Look at your cousin; he has never lied to me!"

"Oh? Then you know about my cousin's secret stash of money as well?" Gu Rushan mocked in disdain.

Instantly, Yuan Cui widened her eyes and snorted in Du Bing's direction, "You actually dare to keep a secret stash of money from me?!"

As an innocent casualty, Du Bing immediately explained, "She's just talking nonsense! How can I possibly have any secret stash of money?!"

"You men are all with bad ideas in your mind. I'll interrogate you when we return. Regardless of how much money you're keeping from me, you're to surrender it all!" Yuan Cui spoke in dominance.

Thus, Du Bing could only look at Gu Rushan with a pitiful gaze. However, Gu Rushan shifted her gaze away. It was her cousin's choice to get himself such a difficult wife to deal with.

Actually, she had no idea if her cousin has any secret stash of money, but weren't men all the same. They would definitely not leave all their money with their wife, and they would try and hide some for themselves.

Walking over to Gu Rushan, Ni Jingqiu smiled. "It's still early, and it's rare for uncle and aunty to come to Beijing. Why don't I treat you guys to some entertainment?"

"Chairman Ni, how can we possibly accept it?" Gu Rushan immediately refused, "We're already embarrassed that you paid for us."

Waving her hand, Ni Jingqiu smiled. "Wait here for five minutes. I'll get someone to fetch you guys to the clubhouse. I'll be there shortly as I still have some guests to entertain. Oh, right. Let me borrow Su Tao a little as I have a favor to ask of him."

Women could never lend their boyfriend and car, despite being in a fake relationship.

Thus, Gu Rushan looked at Su Tao with a complicated look since she had no idea if she should agree to it.

"We'll go with Chairman Ni's arrangement, then! People always say that nightlife in such a big city is filled with experiences, and we should try it since we're hardly here!"

After sounding her parents, who weren't particularly against the idea, Gu Rushan agreed, "Then, we'll trouble Chairman Ni!"

With a faint smile on her face, Ni Jingqiu gracefully replied, "With my relationship with Su Tao, there's no need for you to be so polite with me."

Hearing those words, Su Tao sighed, since Ni Jingqiu's words have given him sufficient face.

Exchanging a glance with Zhang Fen, the two couples instantly knew what was going on in each other's minds. So it turned out that their daughter's boyfriend was pretty capable. Not only was he versed in medical skills, but even such a successful person was so courteous to him.

As Su Tao followed Ni Jingqiu up the second floor, the latter's tone suddenly became solemn, "I really need your help this time."

"Indeed, there are no free meals in the world. Since I've received a benefit from you, then you can just say your request!" Su Tao frowned.

Lowering her voice, Ni Jingqiu replied, "The guests that I've invited this time are from a Japanese investment company. If we can reach cooperation, we will be able to receive an investment of hundreds of millions."

"I'm not proficient in business talks!" Su Tao bitterly smiled.

Shaking her head, Ni Jingqiu replied, "It's a rule to never speak of business at the dining table. However, it will depend on whether this meal can give the other party a good impression. Nowadays, people are all concerned about their health, especially those that are wealthy. As their social status climbs higher, they will pay more attention to their health. I have investigated my guests' habits, and they're extremely interested in nurturing good health. But I couldn't understand their conversation earlier, so I wanted to ask you over since you're also here."

Locking his brows together, Su Tao helplessly shook his head and sighed.

"What's wrong? You're unwilling?" Ni Jingqiu asked.

With an awkward smile on his face, Su Tao replied, "I'm a patriotic person, and I don't have any good impression of them."

Bursting into laughter, Ni Jingqiu responded, "Neither do I, but that doesn't obstruct us from earning from them, right?"

"Sounds reasonable," Su Tao instantly felt much better. After all, being patriotic did not deter them from Japan's pornographic movies.

However, Ni Jingqiu did not know the dirty thoughts going through Su Tao's mind as she pushed open the door and introduced, "This is my personal physician, Mr. Su Tao. Despite his age, he hails from a TCM family and is also publicly recognised as a divine physician."

After that, she proceeded to introduce the guests to Su Tao. The one sitting in the middle was Kohei Koizumi. He's an executive from one of the six largest financial groups in Japan, the Fuji Group.

Japan's financial groups used a financial institution as a medium by having multiple enterprises to cooperate together. In the financial institution, the Director Association holds the highest administration, which was similar to the Board of Directors.

Japanese have considered Mt. Fuji to be the pinnacle, so the Fuji Group was often known as the pinnacle. It was created from twenty-nine major enterprises like Nissan, Canon, and Kubota as the trademark.

Kohei Koizumi was fifty-five this year, and he had a high status in the Fuji Group's Director Association, ranking 5th. Thus, he possessed high authority.

Sitting beside Kohei Koizumi was a delicate-looking woman, and her name was Asaka Ochi. Since Japan still retained the tradition of women following their husband's family name, her official name was changed to Asaka Koizumi, who was actually Kohei Koizumi's wife after Ni Jingqiu's introduction. Furthermore, she's only in her mid-twenties.

A couple with such a drastic age gap made Su Tao feel weird.

"Mr. Koizumi is also proficient in Mandarin!" Ni Jingqiu smiled.

Nodding his head, Kohei Koizumi said, "I lived in China until the age of eight, so I considered China to be my second home. As for my wife, she's also interested in China's culture, which puts a common topic between us, and this is also the reason why I pursued her."

Although Kohei Koizumi's accent sounded a little off, he still managed to express himself well.

Nodding his head, Asaka Ochi nodded her head in Su Tao's direction. "Mr. Su, I've also studied in TCM, so we can compete if there's an opportunity."

Nodding his head, Kohei Koizumi replied, "My father-in-law is Akira Ochi, a TCM specialist. Asaka has received her father's knowledge, and I fell in love with her when I was heavily ill."

Since Su Tao has come to meet with Ni Jingqiu's guests, then he must show his worth. Thus, he smiled. "If I've seen correctly, Mr. Koizumi must be under the nourishment of medication, right?"
