Yang Qing smiled and said calmly, "There's no wind. Bingqing Cosmetics has been very popular lately, so I came specifically to take a look!"
"And to see if there are any projects we can cooperate on!"
The Yang family, the foremost family in Jiangnan Province, coming to seek cooperation with Bingqing Cosmetics? If Yang Qing hadn't said it himself, Xia Bingqing would never have believed it! The two were not even on the same level, so how could they possibly stand shoulder to shoulder?
Xia Bingqing exclaimed, "Young Master Yang, even with the addition of the Xia Group, Bingqing Cosmetics' scale is probably not enough to qualify for cooperation with the Yang family. You see..."
It wasn't that Xia Bingqing was unwilling to cooperate with the Yang family, but rather that she could see the gap between herself and the Yang family, and thus didn't harbor any ambitions at that level.
Yang Qing understood Xia Bingqing's meaning. He didn't pay much attention and said faintly, "Madam Xia, have you ever considered why Bingqing Cosmetics has been able to remain unharmed amidst the encirclement and suppression by the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce and some Jiangnan merchants? Or, to put it another way, could Bingqing Cosmetics and the Xia Group truly contend with the Bai family from Donghai?"
At this point, Xia Bingqing's expression froze, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She was an intelligent woman and quickly grasped the implied meaning, "Young Master Yang, you mean..."
Yang Qing interrupted, "Some things, once spoken, lose their meaning, don't they?"
"The Yang family is willing to be friends with Madam Xia and Bingqing Cosmetics!"
"This isn't my idea, it's my grandfather's. In other words, to a certain extent, the old man thinks very highly of you!"
Naturally, Xia Bingqing didn't know that this was because of Chen Fan.
Xia Bingqing was somewhat flattered and excited, "Young Master Yang, you mean Grandpa Yang wants to cooperate with us?"
"Something like that!" Yang Qing nodded and added, "Why cooperate? Because we now have a common enemy!"
"A common enemy?" Xia Bingqing was taken aback.
"The Bai family from Donghai!" Yang Qing didn't hide anything and laid out the prepared explanation.
"What can I do then?" Xia Bingqing truly didn't understand what she could do.
Yang Qing said, "Currently, the Bai family of Donghai and the Yang family have initiated a trade war. The next step might involve military force. At that time, I hope Madam Xia can provide some military support!"
"Ah?" Xia Bingqing cried out, "I don't know martial arts..."
Mid-sentence, Xia Bingqing stopped, thinking of someone.
Chen Fan!
Xia Bingqing gradually came to her senses and said calmly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're here for Chen Fan, aren't you!"
Yang Qing laid it all out, nodding, "The old man thinks very highly of him!"
"Bingqing Cosmetics would have been in chaos by now if it weren't for the Yang family's covert support. I hope Madam Xia understands this point!"
Xia Bingqing, being so intelligent, nodded.
This meant, "You help me, I help you..."
Xia Bingqing said, "I understand what you mean!"
Yang Qing, with a smile, produced an invitation, "The old man will be celebrating his birthday at Jinding Mountain Villa in two days. We hope Madam Xia can grace us with her presence!"
Xia Bingqing never imagined that one day she would receive an invitation from the foremost family in Jiangnan!
Honestly, she was very excited.
However, she managed to control herself.
"Alright, I will definitely be there!"
Yang Qing smiled. After stating his purpose, he left without lingering.
After he left, Xia Bingqing called Chen Fan upstairs...
