The dishes had been ordered in advance, and Jiang Ranran sat in her seat, just waiting for the food to be served.

Jiang Ranran smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. My company has made great progress now. I can still afford this meal, so he doesn't have to pay for it."

After the two got married, even though Gu Tingchen gave his card to Jiang Ranran again and again, Jiang Ranran always refused to accept it.

It’s not that Jiang Ranran is being polite, he really wants to avoid suspicion.

There were many people outside saying that Jiang Ranran married into the Gu family because of them. Jiang Ranran didn't want to care about these rumors, but they always drifted into her mind. So Jiang Ranran simply stopped spending Gu Tingchen's money. Since they got married, they have been going AA.

"I've also heard about your company. When my assistant told me yesterday, I didn't believe it. I didn't expect that my granddaughter-in-law is so capable and has achieved such great success in such a short time." The old man was also very proud.

He had long said that the granddaughter-in-law he chose would definitely not be wrong.

"You're too kind." Jiang Ranran smiled.

Being recognized by the old man is the happiest thing for Jiang Ranran. You know, the old man has seen all kinds of storms in this position, and not everyone can get his recognition.

Then, the old man said, "Your company has been gaining popularity recently. I've been thinking about whether we should cooperate with your company to achieve a win-win situation."

Jiang Ranran was stunned for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed and not wanting to cooperate with the old man.

After all, in order to avoid suspicion, Jiang Ranran had even rejected Gu Tingchen before. If she accepted the old man's kindness again, it would be a bit unreasonable.

As if sensing Jiang Ranran's embarrassment, the old man said, "Don't worry, Grandpa has no other intentions. I just really think highly of your company. If you think it's okay, then our companies will cooperate. If you think there's a problem, then we can put it aside for now. But I'm really not saying this to help you."

Jiang Ranran's company has been very popular recently. Because of its rapid growth, it has become a hot topic in the industry.

Gu's company naturally heard the news, and Jiang Ranran kept it secret from the outside world for the time being. Their company had wanted to cooperate with Jiang Ranran a long time ago.

After hearing what the old man said, Jiang Ranran breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Okay! Grandpa, since you want to cooperate with us, we will come to your house to talk to you in person later."

Jiang Ranran agreed immediately.

Anyway, Lin Qianya doesn't usually care about the things involved, so Jiang Ranran felt that it would be fine even if she decided on it.

But since it's a collaboration, I still have to go back and discuss it with Lin Qianya.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Ranran found Lin Qianya, "Let me tell you, I recently discussed a project with Gu's. The old man of Gu's said he wanted to cooperate with our company. Do you want to be responsible for this matter?"

"Which Gu family?" Lin Qianya's voice became noticeably colder.

Jiang Ranran was a little confused, but still answered truthfully, "It's the current Gu Group, Gu Tingchen's company."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ranran saw that Lin Qianya's face instantly fell.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Jiang Ranran asked hurriedly.

When Jiang Ranran agreed to the master, he also thought that Lin Qianya would not refuse, but now looking at Lin Qianya's expression, things don't seem that simple.

"Have you signed the contract?" Lin Qianya asked.

Jiang Ranran shook her head blankly, "Not yet. I just told the old man of the Gu family about this matter verbally, but the contract has not been signed yet."

Lin Qianya was obviously relieved and said to Jiang Ranran, "Since the contract hasn't been signed yet, let's forget about it. Both of us are leading companies. If we cooperate, not only will there be no win-win situation, but there may even be losses."

To be honest, although both are leading enterprises, Gu Tingchen and his company's main business is not this.

If Lin Qianya gave such a reason, Jiang Ranran felt that it was a bit unreasonable.

"Or let's think about it again, after all..." Jiang Ranran still wanted to persuade Lin Qianya.

In fact, after Jiang Ranran thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with cooperating with Gu Tingchen's company. After all, neither party had any selfish motives and it was just for work.

Lin Qianya looked at Jiang Ranran very seriously, "I beg you, please think about this matter again and don't cooperate with them."

It was so rare for Lin Qianya to say such words to Jiang Ranran that Jiang Ranran was stunned for a long time and couldn't react.

Looking at Lin Qianya, it is obvious that she has selfish motives in her words and deeds, but what is really going on behind this?

Jiang Ranran couldn't figure it out, so she went back to find Gu Tingchen.

"Lin Qianya doesn't agree with us cooperating with the old man. Why is that?" Jiang Ranran was full of doubts.

You know, since the establishment of this company, Lin Qianya has not cared about the company's affairs, big or small, as if she came to the company just to make a cameo appearance and do research.

But now Lin Qianya suddenly said that she refused to cooperate with the old man, and still used such an untenable reason.

Gu Tingchen was reading a book, without looking up, but with a slight smile, "When the old man told you that day, I knew that this thing would definitely not succeed. Grandpa didn't know that it was a company founded by Lin Qianya and you."

After the company was established, no matter big or small, Jiang Ranran's name was used, except for recruiting employees, who used Lin Qianya's name. It was normal that the old man didn't know.

But what does this have to do with the old man knowing this?

"Do you know something? Tell me quickly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well." Jiang Ranran snatched Gu Tingchen's book away, with a slightly coquettish tone.

Gu Tingchen didn't keep it a secret. "Actually, this is all a grudge from the previous generation. I don't quite understand it, but if you want the two families to cooperate, it's basically impossible to give up on this matter."

Jiang Ranran blinked.

It seems that there is indeed a connection between the two companies.

Jiang Ranran had heard from Gu Tingchen before that Lin Qianya's family was not an ordinary family, and there must be some rift between the two families.

"Is there no way to make these barriers disappear? Grandpa and Lin Qianya don't seem like the kind of people who would make things difficult for others. How could there be friction between these two people?" Jiang Ranran still couldn't figure it out.

Grandpa is a very easy-going person, not to mention Lin Qianya, who doesn't care about anything else except research.

Now suddenly you say there is friction between two people, what kind of friction could this be?

Gu Tingchen's expression gradually became serious. "These are all things from our past lives. If I were to tell you, you don't need to get involved. I'll tell Grandpa when the time comes."

Jiang Ranran was still not satisfied.
