Qiao Weimin didn't give up. He tried stuffing the box into her hands. "Just take it. Your birthday is over, but this is a token of my sincerity! It's a Seven necklace, have you heard of that brand before? Your sister wanted it, and I didn't even get it for her. Keep this necklace with you, Dad won't forget your birthday next year. When the time comes, you can call your Mom and Grandma along to Waterside Loft, and we'll have a feast to make up for your birthday."
If she hadn't seen his mean and harsh side before, Qiao Nian would have believed him and his nonsense and thought of him as a good father. Too bad, she had seen the Qiao family's disgusting looks of disdain. Now, he just looked like a joke to her.
Qiao Nian didn't accept it. Instead, she raised a brow and asked him, "What does Chairman Qiao want from me? Just get to the point."
This damn girl!
Qiao Weimin held the box before her palely. He waited for her to take it from him, but she never did. Eventually, he retracted it."... It's nothing much, I'm just here to show concern."
Qiao Nian glanced at her watch and cut him off impatiently. "Chairman Qiao, I don't have much time!"
Or at least, she didn't want to spend it on him at all.
Qiao Weimin was evidently angry, but he simply couldn't figure out this fake rich girl's actual family background. Hence, he dared not offend her. He said slowly, "Nian Nian, things haven't been going well in the company.
Cheng Feng Corporation suddenly withdrew their funding, our financial flow is cut off now, and a lot of project collaborators are leaving.
"1 haven't had a good sleep in days; your mom and grandma as well. They've been going around, using connections to help our situation. We just want to know why Chairman Yuan of Cheng Feng Corporation doesn't want to work with us anymore all of a sudden.
"I saw you at Cheng Feng Corporation the last time. You surely know Chairman Yuan, right?"
Shen Qiongzhi and the rest said that Qiao Nian couldn't possibly know people of Yuan Yongqin's level and status, but he stubbornly insisted that Qiao Nian must know Yuan Yongqin. It wasn't just because he had seen Qiao Nian at Cheng Feng Corporation the last time, but also because there was this nagging sixth sense that kept telling him he had been wrong. He had underestimated this "cheap daughter" who had put up at his house for over 10 years.
"Nian Nian, could you help me ask Chairman Yuan out for a meal?"
Qiao Weimin looked so sincere, and there were even tears in his eyes. He looked much older than before, and it was obvious that he hadn't been doing so well.
"You can do that, right?"
