Jiang DeXian’s speech was not long and ended shortly. He gave Tang Yu a slight nod and passed the baton back to Tang Yu.
Under the staring eyes, he walked off the stage and walked in front of Fang JunRong. His slightly cold eyes and brows mellowed out some and he asked, “Will I have the pleasure to invite you to join me for lunch?”
This man…… surely liked to make a scene.
Fang JunRong, too, very much enjoyed making a scene as well.
She hesitated a little. Jiang DeXian, who was very calm initially, began feeling nervous as time went on. This was probably the longest wait he had ever experienced.
Affected by the environment, the others, too, waited silently. There were gossipy sparks in everyone’s eyes.
Fang JunRong finally nodded slightly, “Alright.”
Just two simple words and Jiang DeXian’s eyes and brows relaxed all of a sudden. Anyone who was not blind could see his happiness .
Liang AnQi, anxious, blurted out all of a sudden, “Can I come with?” She added, “I really like Aunty Fang and would love to spend more time with her.”
The smile on Jiang DeXian lightened. “No.”
Fang JunRong, too, saw through the little girl’s thoughts. She wasn’t happy that the girl used her as an excuse. She said nonchalantly, “I didn’t think I was this popular. Next time then. I’ll have lunch with you when I free up next time.”
The two took off without looking over at Liang AnQi again.
After the two of them had departed, the venue, seemingly with its paused button pushed, bustled again.
“Is there something going on between those two?”
“Oh man. I had forgotten to take pictures earlier! That was some good news material!”
“What was this Jiang DeXian? How was he able to achieve such success at his age without anyone knowing?”
The reporters knew nothing about Jiang DeXian. Because of his age and good looks, they reflexively were going to label him a Second Generation Rich.
All the other guests had complicated looks on them. They had all met Jiang DeXian in the past and, even when they were courteous to him, they did that because of Fang JunRong.
None of them had expected that, all of a sudden, Jiang DeXian had risen to their level.
That made them unhappy. Especially when the reporters were going on and on about how young and good looking Jiang DeXian was, they felt that they, being older, were offended inadvertently.
Nevertheless, the purpose of their trip today was to buy his shares. They couldn’t just take off.
As for Liang AnQi, they didn’t care about her at all. Their profits were way more important than petty romances.
Liang AnQi felt differently. She felt that she had been embarrassed publicly and that was awful. She hadn’t expected that Jiang DeXian would be so blunt to her in public. Had he no compassion at all toward a cute girl? He wasn’t such a cold man in the novel.
When she was dazed, Liang Feng was displeased. Her niece had behaved oddly today and had not been her usually cute and naïve self.
“AnQi, let’s head home.”
Liang AnQi, recollecting herself, bit her lower lip. “No, Aunty, let’s head out after we’ve purchased the shares.”
She brought with her all of her money. One way or another, she would become one of Qixing’s major shareholders. That way she would have more opportunities to meet with Jiang DeXian!
She was only 18 and Fang JunRong was no spring chicken anymore. Any normal individual would know how to choose!
She felt very motivated. She felt that this was going to turn into a wife-chasing crematory trope where the man ignored the woman in the beginning but would gravel later on.
All good things in life come with hard work!
***
Liang AnQi licked her lips and realized that she had grossly underestimated things.
She thought she had quite a bit of money prepared and would perhaps be able to purchase some 20% or so shares and become a major shareholder of Qixing.
For that very reason, she asked her mother to sell a few houses and, combined with the original owner’s savings, she was able to come up with 100 million yuan.
Lo and behold, all that money was only enough for a measly 2% of shares. That was a hard pill to swallow for her.
