Yang Chang had worked with her for a long time, and she believed that she was quite good at judging people. In addition, he would never risk his own livelihood, so there was no way he would leak the information to Du Heng.
Then there's only one possibility: Du Heng has someone behind him giving him advice. But the timing, the product, and the recent coincidences all seem a bit off. Could it be... that the person who came up with the idea is Su Su?
But how could she know so much? Could it be that she, like me, was reborn?
No, no, no… Jiang Wanqing shook her head, immediately denying the idea. If it were true, it would be even stranger. In her past life, apart from her grudge against Jiang Xiu, she had no other complicated friendships. And that woman's fate was unknown, so how could she become Su Su? The age didn't match either…
"Comrade Wanqing?"
Yang Chang noticed that Jiang Wanqing's expression kept changing, so he waved his hand in front of her. She quickly came to her senses and turned her head.
"ah?"
"What's wrong? Is it... a big problem? What about your new factory's opening ceremony..."
In a sense, the opening of Jiang Wanqing's factory will inevitably have some impact on Yang Chang's Beixin. It's impossible for him not to feel a little fortunate, but he can also distinguish between a full meal and a full stomach. He feels more regret and worry.
"Proceed as planned. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. I have other solutions."
Jiang Wanqing rubbed her fingers together. Just now, a brilliant idea had popped into her head, but just in case, she couldn't say it yet.
However, opportunities and risks coexist. If she succeeds, she will be able to open up the market completely. If she fails, everything she has done before will be in vain and become a sunk cost.
But as the saying goes, sunk costs shouldn't be used in major decisions, and that's exactly the situation she's in now.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Wanqing straightened her expression and looked at Yang Chang.
"Remember to come then, you're an important guest I've invited."
"must!"
Yang Chang smiled and nodded. He knew that Jiang Wanqing needed him to stand up for her, and he also wanted to gain attention at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. It was a win-win situation for both of them.
She didn't tell Cheng Ran that she was out, or even kept it from him, so she didn't dare stay outside for too long, otherwise he would definitely nag her for a while if he found out.
She rushed back home, finally arriving just before Cheng Ran got off work. After preparing the ingredients and cooking, she calmed down and, while waiting for him to come home, made a complete plan for the business opening.
There was a sound outside. Jiang Wanqing closed her notebook and looked outside. She couldn't see clearly and assumed it was Cheng Ran returning, so she went out and opened the door.
She looked up and saw Du Heng, who was beaming and looked very smart in his suit. She raised an eyebrow.
"Why is it you? What are you doing here?"
She wasn't very friendly to him, and Jiang Wanqing's tone was impatient; she didn't even seem to want to invite him in for a seat.
Du Heng didn't mind, he simply took out a red invitation with gold lettering and handed it to her.
"I've come to deliver your invitation."
Invitation? Jiang Wanqing frowned, took it and glanced at it.
It was a wedding invitation, and the bride was indeed Su Su. She handed it back.
"Congratulations, but no need for an invitation. It's not appropriate for Cheng Ran and me to go."
Du Heng didn't accept the gift. He straightened his cuffs and replied with a smile, "You and Commander Cheng are a perfect match. I don't care about your money. I just want you to come and share in the joy. After all, you helped me before, and Commander Cheng saved my brother. It's only right and proper that you both come to this meal. Besides, I heard from my girlfriend that she knows you, so you should go even more. Unless Comrade Jiang doesn't want to accept the invitation?"
She really wanted to answer, "No, I'm just not going to do you the honor. What's wrong?"
But such a response is too naive; it might not hurt the other person, but it could make you unhappy instead.
She chuckled and stuffed the invitation into Du Heng's pocket: "It's not that I don't want to accept your invitation, but I don't think our relationship is at the point where I can attend your wedding. It would be awkward. Oh, by the way, Cheng Ran will be back soon. Are you sure you want to stay here?"
His expression changed. He remembered Cheng Ran's warning and that Du Ming had to relay it to him. If they met face to face, who knew what would happen? So Du Heng cleared his throat, stepped back to the car, and placed the invitation on the wall.
"I won't stay here any longer. The invitations are for you. It's okay if you don't come. Anyway, I've already sent my regards. Goodbye."
He arrived suddenly and left too quickly. Jiang Wanqing could only see the car kick up dust as it drove away. She sighed helplessly and tiptoed to take the invitation down from the wall.
About ten minutes later, Cheng Ran returned, saw the invitation on the table, put down his things, picked up the red invitation, and opened it to take a look.
Jiang Wanqing was bringing out the last soup from the kitchen.
"Has Du Heng been here?" he asked.
"Yes, just now. Not long ago, he and Su Su were getting married. They sent us an invitation, but I refused. He forced me to leave his things behind and then left."
Cheng Ran didn't expect the date to be set so quickly. The person had only just visited his parents. Could there be other unspeakable reasons behind this?
He casually tossed the invitation aside and scoffed.
"I'm not going."
"That's what I think too. There's no need to go, and I don't want to go."
She placed the soup on the table, tossed the invitation into the drawer of the storage cabinet, and pulled him to sit down.
"Let's eat. I'm in a good mood today. Let's see if the food is different from usual."
"Oh? What's good news today?"
"It's not exactly a good thing, or even a bad thing, but I've already thought of a way to deal with it."
Cheng Ran frowned. She set out the bowls and chopsticks, and he served the rice, asking her questions as he did so.
"What bad news? Are you feeling unwell again?"
"Do I look uncomfortable?" Jiang Wanqing shrugged. "It's the people from southern Xinjiang who stole the spotlight from my factory's opening. They're launching a batch of new products that overlap a lot with my products. If I don't handle this well, it could easily affect the future development of my factory."
"and you……"
"Alright, stop asking. Good things happen in secret, you'll find out when the time comes. Let's eat now!"
Seeing that she seemed very confident, Cheng Ran felt a little relieved.
"Okay, since you've said that, I won't ask any more questions. Just tell me if anything comes up." Cheng Ran said, putting a few pieces of meat on her plate. "Eat more."
"Um."
For several days, Du Heng and Su Su did not hear any reaction from Jiang Wanqing. Logically speaking, they had played their trump card, and the other party should have been anxious. However, the development of the situation was beyond their expectations. No matter how calm and confident they were before, they could not help but feel uneasy now.
"Will your method really work? Pre-sales are novel, but what if we can't deliver the ordered goods...? Besides, Jiang Wanqing doesn't seem to be taking this challenge seriously at all; she hasn't made a single move..."
