Jiang Can co...

Chapter 22 A Strange Heartache

Lin Yuqing couldn't bear to see Jiang Can being harassed by Cheng Xiaoxiao at the company, so she took her out to do business and introduced all her clients to her.

He also taught her many techniques for negotiating orders.

"You have to remember that business is not done in one go. You may have to negotiate an order ten or eight times, which is normal."

Jiang Can nodded gently.

"You need to maintain good relationships with your clients. Only when you're familiar with them will they be more likely to sign a deal with you!"

"Yes, I understand."

“Of course, the most important thing is,” Lin Yuqing said with a smile, “that in sales you have to be shameless! You have to put aside your pride before you can fill your stomach! Understand?”

Jiang Can's two beautiful big eyes smiled like crescent moons. Just then, their order number appeared on the screen in front of her, and she hurried to the front desk to pick it up.

Lunch was an extremely simple fast food meal. Lin Yuqing noticed that Jiang Can's meal only had one kind of cheap vegetarian dish, and couldn't help but ask, "Can you get full like this?"

“No problem,” Jiang Can chuckled. “I don’t eat much anyway, this one serving is enough for me.”

"This won't do! Running a business requires physical strength, and look at your small frame, this..." Lin Yuqing stopped mid-sentence, then realized, "Has your husband been cutting all your money?"

Just as Jiang Can was about to explain, Gu Mang sent her a message.

After she finished reading, she fell silent. Seeing that her expression was not good, Lin Yuqing grabbed the phone and was so angry that she almost jumped up.

"Who is he?!" Lin Yuqing was furious. "He... he actually went shopping? And saw a belt he liked? And it cost over three thousand?"

"Sister Yuqing, keep your voice down!" Jiang Can hurriedly pulled her back.

To be honest, Gu Mang has been acting strangely lately, finding new ways to enjoy life every day. One day, Jiang Can was at work when she suddenly felt like calling him to ask what he was doing. Unexpectedly, this guy just blurted out:

"Having afternoon tea."

Jiang Can then asked where they wanted to drink.

He posted a photo, and it was the Emperor Hotel again!

Jiang Can almost fainted, and a moment later she received a text message notification that her bank card had been debited.

She looked at the numbers on the card and felt a pang of heartache.

But since she had to maintain her "rich heiress" image, she could only reluctantly put on a smile and pretend to be generous, letting him enjoy his afternoon tea...

There were many similar incidents. Her bank account balance was dwindling, but every time she asked Gu Mang, he would look at her with a half-smile and say, "Jiang Yao, aren't you the daughter of the Jiang family? You can't even part with this little bit of money?"

She bit her lip, stared blankly, and finally, like a deflated balloon, turned around and went back to her room to continue writing the sales plan.

She didn't see how happy the man behind her was laughing.

Like a big boy who has successfully pulled off a prank, the game is just one step away from completion.

...

Jiang Can scrolled through her phone; the balance in her bank card was exactly three thousand yuan.

If Gu Mang were in front of her right now, she would want to strangle him. This man not only has X-ray vision, but he also has a calculator in his head, calculating with absolute precision!

"Hey!" Lin Yuqing hurriedly grabbed her hand. "You...you really want to transfer it to him?"

Jiang Can paused for a moment, then smiled sheepishly, "He rarely takes a fancy to anything, so let him buy it. Anyway, I still have a few hundred yuan in cash on me. If I'm frugal these next few days, it shouldn't be a problem to make it until next payday."

"Are you stupid!" Lin Yuqing exclaimed, "What's so great about him? Why do you spoil him like this!"

“It’s not that I’m spoiling you, it’s…” Jiang Can fell silent and lowered her head slightly.

She wasn't spoiling him; rather, she felt a strange pang of heartache for him.

The thought of Gu Mang's past life of loneliness, poverty, and hardship, the numerous times he had been in and out of prison, and the mockery he had received from the village thugs...

Her heart softened.

She didn't know where this feeling came from. Could it be... that she had really fallen for this man?
