Eight o'clock in the evening, Jiang's Manor.
At this moment, the lights are brightly lit, the people are busy, and it is very lively.
Luxury cars gathered at the door, and Binzhou celebrities all arrived.
Heads of major families, group bosses, including leaders of the Government Affairs Bureau, Patrol Bureau and other law enforcement departments were all invited to participate.
As the richest man in Binzhou, the Jiang family not only has strong financial resources, but also has amazing influence.
If you want to gain a foothold in Binzhou and even develop, you must tightly embrace the Jiang family!
In the past, Jiang Hongtu was critically ill and the Jiang family's status declined, but now that he has been cured, all parties have different considerations.
"Congratulations to Mr. Jiang for his recovery. I believe that under your leadership, the Jiang family will develop better and better in the future."
"Mr. Jiang is young and promising, and with your help at the helm, the Jiang Group will definitely have a bright future."
"Let's cooperate well in the future, make money together, and get rich together."
"..."
Arriving at the hall, everyone congratulated Jiang Hongtu.
Between the lines, everything is respectful and flattering.
Of course Jiang Hongtu was well aware of the faces of these people.
It's just that I don't tell the truth, I just try to deal with it.
"grandfather……"
After appeasing the guests to sit down, Jiang Xingchen came over after making a phone call.
"How about Xingchen, it's almost eight o'clock, why hasn't Ye Qiu come yet?" Jiang Hongtu asked anxiously: "Although tonight is to celebrate my recovery from a serious illness, everyone wants to meet this famous young doctor. , as your fiancé, this is a great opportunity to introduce him to all the forces in Binzhou..."
"He said he would be there in fifteen minutes at the latest. He said something happened in the small company, which delayed him for a while, but it has been resolved..."
"This is a problem."
Hearing this, Jiang Hongtu's expression changed, and he said thoughtfully: "I see that Xiaoxiao has gotten very close to Ye Qiu recently."
"Don't blame me for talking too much. Ye Qiu is a rare talent. He is good-looking and capable. He is the kind of good son-in-law you can't find even with a lantern."
"The so-called fair lady is a good gentleman, so what woman doesn't miss that good man?"
"My dear granddaughter, I have no other intentions, but Ye Qiu can only be your man, so you must grasp it!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but blush, and pursed his lips and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about!"
"Ye Qiu and I... let's just do that. This is where we are."
"As for Xiaoxiao, it's not like you don't know her. What other thoughts could she have? She just treats her as a cousin..."
"Why, are you stubborn with me again?"
"Then when you didn't think highly of Ye Qiu before, did it finally prove that I have a better eye for people than you?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Xingchen immediately felt ashamed and felt as if his chest was blocked.
Regarding Ye Qiu, she felt complicated and didn't know how to face him.
For Su Xiaoxiao, she couldn't believe this fact.
After pondering for a while, she took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "By the way, grandpa, you said before that you wanted to keep Ye Qiu, but you have been cured now, so why should you keep him?"
"Ha ha."
"You girl, you say you don't want it, but in fact you really want to keep him, right?"
Jiang Hongtu laughed and said: "As I said, love develops over time. Look, this relationship just comes out of getting along, right?"
"I……"
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's get down to business."
Jiang Hongtu pulled Jiang Xingchen to the side and whispered: "I have already considered this matter. Although Ye Qiu is very capable, he is still too young after all. He has no chance of winning against Gao Shulin.
Take tomorrow's martial arts exchange meeting as an example. If we want to get Zhou Dehai's order, our Jiang family has no chance of winning, so the bet will definitely be lost. "
"Based on my understanding of Ye Qiu, he will definitely not let go, so I plan to give my shares to Gao Shulin and let him jointly manage the Jiang Group with you, but Ye Qiu must stay and help you fight against each other. In this way, wouldn’t he be able to stay smoothly?”
Jiang Xingchen fell into deep thought.
Hearing that she would have to compete with Gao Shulin again made her feel sick inside.
But with Ye Qiu beside her to help, she felt inexplicably relieved.
Although grandpa's words were unpleasant, they were rough and unreasonable. She had never expected to win tomorrow's bet.
Grandpa sacrificed his own interests to fulfill himself. Perhaps, he should also try to take a step forward and try to get in touch with Ye Qiu.
Thinking of this, she nodded heavily and said: "Well, let's do it. Let's see how far Ye Qiu can develop his abilities in the future. I won't tell you now. I have to go to the kitchen to take a look. When Xiaoxiao arrives soon, she will have to use her food as the main course!"
After saying that, she turned around to leave, but was pulled by Jiang Hongtu, shaking his head and saying: "Don't be busy Xingchen, you don't know about Su Xiaoxiao's recent situation. Her family's business is like this, and she can't sell her old dishes." If you move, you won’t be able to make new dishes, and even if they are made, they won’t be delicious.”
"The people who come here to eat tonight are all Binzhou dignitaries. It's better not to take risks. I have contacted Mr. Shen of Tianshan Group. He personally brought their chef to cook, and it was their latest new dish. , named 'Water Lotus'."
"It is said that during the trial period, it won unanimous praise. It was predicted that once launched, it will definitely hit the market!"
Hearing this, Jiang Xingchen looked embarrassed and denied, "Grandpa, what you are doing is unethical."
"We are obviously settled with Xiaoxiao, how can you let people from Tianshan Group come? Don't you know they are mortal enemies?"
"Yes, I admit that Xiaoxiao's company is not working now, but Xiaoxiao is a relative of our family and a good sister of mine."
"If you do this, how will I explain it to her later..."
"You don't have to explain it to her. If she has any questions, just come to me directly."
Before he could finish speaking, a manly voice suddenly sounded.
Turning around, he immediately saw an imposing middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking over with Liu Yun.
This middle-aged man, named Shen Huaishi, is the current CEO of Tianshan Group.
Holding 23% of the shares, he is the second largest shareholder of the group and can be described as a veritable leader!
This person is not only cruel and ruthless, he must have extremely high methods. He has a deep-rooted position in Binzhou and has close contacts with the political and military circles.
Although he is famously known as a catering giant, he is actually running many gray businesses behind his back, and he is a powerful man!
And the reason why Jiang Hongtu invited him here tonight was because he wanted to establish a good relationship with him!
Of course he knew that Su Xiaoxiao was a relative of his, and he had no objections to her, but the fact was that he was just adapting to the situation!
"Why should she look for you? Who do you think you are..."
"Xingchen, don't be rude!"
Seeing that Jiang Xingchen was about to cause chaos, Jiang Hongtu immediately stopped, pulled her over, and introduced: "Xingchen, this is Shen Huaishi, the CEO of Tianshan Group. Have you met Mr. Shen soon?"
"I'm not interested in getting to know him!"
If this matter were placed on others, Jiang Xingchen would definitely restrain his emotions, even if he just pretended to do so.
But now, the other party wants to steal my cousin's job, and the two groups are mortal enemies. How will I deal with inviting him over at this time?
As soon as I spoke, my cousin arrived. If she knew all this, how should I explain it?
After saying that, she turned around to leave. Jiang Hongtu subconsciously pulled her, but before he could speak, Master Shen Huai waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang is really kind. I can understand your thoughts, but the fact now is that doing catering , the Su Group cannot beat our Tianshan Group, and it will be a matter of time before it is acquired by us."
"Actually, meeting tonight can also help the other party recognize the reality. As a cousin, you are just asking her to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. In fact, there is nothing wrong with this..."
"There are no absolutes in this world!"
Jiang Xingchen curled his lips and said: "If the Su Group is fighting alone, it may be true as you said, but what if..."
"Why, does the Jiang Group want to join in?" Master Shen Huai's expression changed.
Liu Yun on the side also said: "Mr. Jiang, you are a company that sells medical devices, and we are in the catering industry."
"It is impossible for these two unrelated industries to come together."
"Although your Jiang family is the richest man in Binzhou, it's better not to show too much edge in everything. Otherwise, if you walk at night for a long time, you will easily encounter ghosts..."
"Shut up! When we are chatting, why do you have the right to speak?!"
Jiang Xingchen glared at Liu Yun fiercely, raised his head, and said proudly: "What I want to say is not that our Jiang Group interfered, but that my fiancé has already made a plan and knows how to deal with your Tianshan Group. As long as he is here, you can’t even think about acquiring the Su Group!”
Hearing this, Jiang Hongtu looked happy.
She actually admitted that she had a fiancé?
Although it was not wise to talk back to Master Shen Huai, it was worth paying a price if it could bring her and Ye Qiu together.
"Your fiancé?"
Master Shen Huai joked: "Although I don't know who he is or what he is capable of."
"But in the catering industry, at least in Binzhou, no one is better than our Tianshan Group..."
"Yeah?"
Before he finished speaking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded: "Pretending relies on strength, not words."
"Mr. Shen, right? Seeing as how old you are, why aren't you afraid of the wind blowing your tongue?"
Ye Qiu!
Jiang Xingchen was startled and turned around subconsciously. He immediately saw that he was walking towards this side quickly with Su Xiaoxiao and Yu Xiaohui!
