”How did it go? Is it good news or bad news?” Standing outside of the room, Wang Xinyan looked at Jiang Chen, who just came out of the door, with a smile.
”What do you think?' Jiang Chen stopped and looked at her, half-smiling.
”I think it didn't go too well.” Wang Xinyan crossed her arms as she stood beside Jiang Chen, ”I don't understand, what's there to reject? Am I that despicable?”
”What's there to reject?” Jiang Chen laughed dubiously, ”You tell me, what's there to agree?”
Jiang Chen didn't respond to her plan of testing the water and left immediately.
Looking at Jiang Chen walking away, Wang Xinyan's flashed an unusual light as a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
”Interesting.”
...
After coming out of the hotel, Jiang Chen walked to the garage. Just as he was about to go into his car, a stranger approached him.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was walking over, a man in a brown trench coat waved at him and walked towards his direction.
”You are?” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
”Just a salesman.” The man shrugged and smiled friendly.
”I am not in the mood to buy anything.”
”No, trust me, you will be interested in my offer.” The man coughed, and extended his right hand, ”Zhang Youjie, I'm an employee of the UA Consulate.”
Jiang Chen's eyes moved slightly as he shook his hand out of etiquette, then with a layer of meaning, he said, ”Consulate worker? What do you have for an ordinary merchant like me?”
A Han name, should be a UA Han?
”Ahem, Mr. Jiang is too humble. A normal merchant would not go save someone in Iraq, nor would he go step in the muddy water in Kane, he especially wouldn't train mercenaries in Niger.” Zhang Youjie said in a low voice then he coughed.
What a detailed investigation.
”Then your intention is?' Jiang Chen asked emotionlessly.
”Please don't be mistaken, I am here with good intentions. Although you are unnaturally active internationally, your current actions aren't threatening the security of my country.” Seeing the caution in Jiang Chen's eyes, Zhang Youjie rushed to explain.
”Can I hear about this good intention of yours?” Jiang Chen smiled.
”Have you considered switching to a different nationality? The Wall Street is a broad stage. For a talent like you, it is too pitiful if you waste your time on those greedy politicians.”
”Wall Street? I currently have no interest in Wall Street.” Jiang Chen said nonchalantly.
”Don't reject it yet.” Zhang Youjie stopped Jiang Chen's words, he slipped a business card into his hand with a smile, ”It is never bad to have a few extra options right? The door to freedom is always open for people with talent, especially for a genius like you.”
Zhang Youjie bowed nobly before he turned around and left.
Staring at Zhang Youjie's shadow, Jiang Chen played with the business card in his hand for as a dubious smile appeared on his face.
Wall Street? Would the etiquette of the Wall Street capitalists be better? As long as they are politicians, they are the same everywhere.
He stuffed the business card into his pocket as Jiang Chen sat into his Maybach.
If Wang Linhua thought he could use the power within the system to force him to agree, then he is fated for disappointment.
Future Technology will never be a subsidiary of the Wang family, Jiang Chen never had the intention to compromise.
...
After he got into the car, Jiang Chen didn't head home. Instead, he went to the rural area and parked in front of the Hongyi private club.
Jiang Chen closed the door, entered the club, passed through the hall and walked straight to the reception desk.
”Hello sir, what kind of service-” The receptionist smiled professionally as she greeted Jiang Chen.
Those coming at this hour, needless to say, was here to ”spend the night”.
But Jiang Chen's first sentence caught her by surprise.
