Just as Oswald was about to say something, the door to the banquet hall suddenly opened, and a man in a tailored suit walked in.
The crowd quieted down instantly and made way for the man to walk in.
The man had a cold and aloof demeanor. Despite his oriental face, he looked charming and formidable.
Everything he wore was branded and custom made. He exuded a noble aura from the inside out.
When Andy saw him, he quickly walked over with a glass of red wine and politely handed it to his guest. “Second young master Qiao, you made it!”
Qiao Jing accepted the glass of red wine and politely clinked glasses with Andy. His face was still cold as he said, “How can I decline an invitation from Mr. Andy?”
It was a polite diplomatic reply, but when the words came out of Qiao Jing’s mouth, it seemed believable.
Minnie stroked her chin as she looked at Qiao Jing. She nudged Oswald with her elbow and said, “That is Qiao Jing, the second young master of the Qiao family. He is the second brother of Godfather’s chosen one.”
Oswald looked at Qiao Jing with a frown.
Qiao Jing looked younger than he had imagined.
He was no ordinary person.
“He controls much of the Qiao family at such a young age, surpassing his father and uncles. He also has an organization that’s comparable with the one behind KA. How can he be an ordinary person?” Minnie continued, “But based on my investigation, he also has an extraordinary relationship with Qiao Yue. Qiao Jing was the one who defended Qiao Yue in many of the family disputes.”
As the two of them spoke, Qiao Jing walked over and raised his glass.
Minnie smiled and did a curtsy holding her skirt, while Oswald simply raised his glass.
“What organization is more powerful than KA?” Oswald asked.
He had never heard of any other organizations in C-Country.
“I met them when I covered Trand’s retreat last time. We had the chance to kidnap Qiao Yue then, but they saved him.”
Minnie’s eyes followed Qiao Jing as he mingled with the other guests. “I’ve tried to investigate that organization, but I don’t know their name. But their logo looked like a black four-leaf clover; I’m not sure what it means.”
Andy’s guests were the who’s who of C-Country, but for some reason, he had been talking with Qiao Jing since Qiao Jing arrived without having any in-depth conversations with his other guests.
Andy’s conversation with Qiao Jing was mostly about how he could become partners with the Qiao family.
The Eugene family was making their foray into the entertainment industry. They planned to nurture Qiao Xin, the first artiste they signed in D-Country. Andy naturally wanted to use this Qiao Xin connection to do more business with the Qiao family.
“Is second young master interested in AT’s projects here in C-Country?”
Qiao Jing held his wine glass did not look at Andy. He seemed to be thinking about something. After a long time, Qiao Jing finally said, “No. Qiao Xin made a personal choice and it doesn’t reflect what the Qiao family wants to do.”
Andy, who hit a wall with Qiao Jing, wasn’t upset. Instead, he looked at Qiao Jing and said calmly, “I thought Mr. Qiao Yi’s words carried a lot of weight. It seems that he has lied to me.”
Qiao Jing frowned. As he had expected, Qiao Yi and Andy had long been in cahoots.
“Qiao Yi doesn’t represent the Qiao family. If you have any other projects that we could work on together, you can contact the Qiao Corporation directly. You don’t need to go through my uncles.” Qiao Jing said.
Andy chuckled. “I have a casino called Mahad. I don’t know if Mr. Qiao has heard of it.”
How could Qiao Jing not know about the notorious Mahad?
“Mr. Qiao Yi has some business dealings with Mahad, but unfortunately, he’s not especially capable. We are currently looking for a partner from D-Country who can work with us on this project. I wonder if Mr. Qiao Jing would be willing to do so?”
The project he mentioned was probably the detestable human trafficking project.
D-Country’s government was indeed rotten to some extent. Even a politician like Andy was using his position and power to do illegal things.
Qiao Jing smiled but did not agree or refuse. He just replied calmly, “I’m not very interested in Mr. Andy’s project, but I’m a little curious about what you’re going to do at the end of this month.”
