now.
Hearing Dongfang Zhanyue's mutterings, Gu Chuan was also shocked. Although she was already very familiar with Qin Jiang's rise to power, Dongfang Zhanyue's analysis made her look at Qin Jiang in a new light. The other party's path was so steady and unique. Her competitors were getting stronger and stronger.
Gu Chuan: "No wonder he was so calm when you reminded him of question 49. He was probably prepared for it."
Dongfang Zhanyue: "It should be!"
Gu Chuan: "It seems we're completely unable to invest this time..."
Dongfang Zhanyue: "I can't become a shareholder! But investing... is still a possibility!"
Then I saw it.
Dongfang Zhanyue returned to the villa's entrance, pushed it open, and went inside. Looking at Qin Jiang and Zhu Zheng, who were staring at her, she said, "I've decided: within three days, I'll procure enough equipment and supplies to power two construction sites for the Black Dragon Group! I'm not asking for anything in return! Just consider me a friend, Chairman Qin. Next time, Chairman Qin, you'd better treat me well..." After saying this, she gave a very charming smile, and without waiting for Qin Jiang's reply, she turned and left.
Outside.
Gu Chuan looked at Dongfang Zhanyue and said, "You really have a grand gesture..."
Dongfang Zhanyue: "An investment? Of course, you have to pay upfront..."
Gu Chuan: "If we only compared who put in the effort, things would be much harder for me than for you..."
Dongfang Zhan Yue: "What do you mean?"
Gu Chuan: "At least Qin Jiang hasn't shown any liking for Bai Lu, so you're not a direct competitor."
"But it's common knowledge that Bai Lu likes Qin Jiang, so I've always had a rival."
Dongfang Zhanyue: "That's troublesome..."
Gu Chuan: "So I hope you succeed..."
Dongfang: "I also hope you can succeed..."
.....
Inside the villa.
Zhu Zheng watched Dongfang Zhanyue leave again and couldn't help but laugh, "Brother Jiang! You really are quite charming. The president of the prestigious Dongfang Group fell head over heels for you the moment he met you, giving you a hundred million yuan worth of building materials and equipment for free... Tsk tsk... A multi-billion dollar group is rich and powerful... No! It's just that Brother Jiang's charm is unparalleled..."
Qin Jiang: "If you like her... then go after her..."
Zhu Zheng: "No! People don't like my type, and I'm more suited to someone quieter."
Qin Jiang: "Don't underestimate this woman! A woman like her won't fall at any man's feet. Just when you think you've got her figured out, she might just turn the tables on you."
Zhu Zheng: "Brother Jiang knows her very well..."
Qin Jiang: "She's not just a simple woman..."
Zhu Zheng: "That's noticeable..."
Qin Jiang: "How are the arrangements going with Sijiu...?"
Zhu Zheng: "Brother Jiang, don't worry! I'll have Shanhe personally lead the team; I guarantee there won't be any problems..."
"Besides, the northern province is our territory. If Ma Jun dares to do anything again, he'll be walking right into a trap..."
Qin Jiang: "Hmm!" After a moment, he couldn't help but ask again, "How many people did Shanhe bring...?"
Zhu Zheng:....
He realized that Brother Jiang really valued Si Jiu. And it made sense! Brother Jiang had always treated his brothers this way. He believed that even if he encountered the same situation in the future, Brother Jiang would definitely take it very seriously. Having such a big brother... what an honor!
...
A street stall in the suburbs!
An incredibly burly man, as big as a brown bear, was sitting there eating kebabs. He was none other than: Sijiu!
boom...
Several cars drove over.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A dozen or so strong bodyguards came down from inside.
Then, leaning on his cane, Ma Jun walked out as Zhou Ying opened the door, looking calmly at the messy environment of the surrounding stalls.
Zhou Ying frowned: "This environment is terrible... There's trash everywhere, flies everywhere... Why did Wei Biao choose to have a date here..."
Ignoring Zhou Ying's complaints, Ma Jun noticed the strikingly conspicuous Si Jiu sitting in front of the street stall, and strode over with his cane to sit opposite her.
Si Jiu didn't even lift his head and continued eating.
Seeing this, Ma Jun smiled and picked up a skewer to eat as well.
Zhou Ying interrupted, "Chairman Ma! This kind of street food is unhygienic, you can't eat it..." She said to Wei Biao, "You're a CEO, how can you invite my Chairman Ma to eat this? It's so unhygienic and dirty! How can you eat it... There are flies over there... Is this skewer even edible?"
Si Jiu looked up at Zhou Ying's fierce face, which made the other person swallow hard.
Si Jiu shook the skewers in his hand: "Are they edible? Before I met Brother Jiang, I didn't even know what lamb skewers tasted like."
"I'll always remember: that year, Brother Jiang took me to eat at a roadside stall and let me eat as much as I wanted! That was the first time I'd ever eaten lamb skewers, and they were so delicious... I ate over a hundred skewers, and I even let Brother Jiang pay on credit... haha..."
His words were filled with nostalgia: as if he had truly returned to the past, to the first time he ate lamb skewers with Brother Jiang.
Zhou Ying rolled her eyes. Although she wasn't born into a wealthy family, she was still considered middle class. In addition, her parents believed in raising their daughters with a lavish lifestyle. She had never cried since birth and couldn't understand Si Jiu's words at all. In fact, in her eyes, Si Jiu was clearly trying to play the victim in front of Ma Jun.
In response to this.
Ma Jun, however, felt something.
He was just a street hustler back then, and he had memories of that kind of life, eating lamb skewers at street stalls. At the same time, he could also understand two points from Si Jiu's words: one was to show how hard he had suffered back then, and the other was to say how good his relationship with Qin Jiang was.
The better your relationship with Qin Jiang, the better!
brush!
Ma Jun also picked up a skewer of lamb and, ignoring Zhou Ying's attempts to stop him, took a bite: "Still the original taste..."
Si Jiu: "Yeah! It's definitely authentic. Your skewers weren't cooked through... I specially prepared them for Sang Biao..."
Ma Jun: "..."
He looked at Sijiu and said, "To be honest, I'm quite relieved to know about your situation. At least you haven't been suffering all this time!"
"No…" Si Jiu waved his hand: "I suffered before I met my grandmother, and I only truly enjoyed happiness after I met Brother Jiang."
Ma Jun: "Qin Jiang has been kind to you! I know... I will find a way to repay him..."
49: "Is this how you repay us—by blacklisting us in the industry?"
Hear this.
Ma Jun showed no embarrassment and simply nodded: "It's nothing more than some business tactics."
"I understand!" Si Jiu nodded: "A businessman? It's reasonable for him to do anything to achieve his goals! Moreover, industry blacklisting is neither illegal nor the most effective and quickest way to achieve results... It's just unethical, which is exactly your style."
"Tell me! Why did you deliberately send people to spread your location around me so I could arrange to meet you? No, to be precise: what benefits are you planning to give up to achieve your goal?"
Ma Jun's gaze towards Si Jiu changed. Instead of answering, he nodded with immense satisfaction: "You are indeed not as stupid as you seem! And you are my son, Ma Jun, how could you be a fool!"
"Then let's not waste any more time: come back to Shanghai with me! I'll lift the blacklist, and from now on you will be my eldest son, Ma Biao! The sole heir to the Huanyu Group."
