"You...you're not mistaken, are you?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yao started yelling in a shrill voice.
"How could it be her!"
"Are you Ms. Jiang Can?" The man smiled, but his eyes were cold. "If you are not Ms. Jiang Can, please step back!"
"you……"
"This is the Minghuang family's residence, a banquet hosted by the Huo family," the man said calmly. "Whom I should greet and who I shouldn't is my job; I don't need Miss to remind me!"
Jiang Yao was so angry that her face turned pale, her lips twitched, and she couldn't say a word.
Yang Juan and Jiang Mingyuan exchanged puzzled glances, realizing that something was amiss.
That's Jiang Can! What right does a disheveled illegitimate daughter have to appear in a place like this!
“Miss Jiang,” the man walked up to Jiang Can and nodded respectfully, “please come with me.”
Jiang Can's heart pounded, as if a bolt of lightning had struck down from the sky, leaving her confused mind blank.
“Sir, you…you must have made a mistake?” she asked tentatively in a very soft voice. “I don’t have an invitation, and I’m not here for the ball. I just wanted to deliver some documents…”
"Miss Jiang, please come inside with me. Don't make things difficult for me," the man said with a smile.
"Hey!" Yang Juan couldn't hold back any longer and grabbed the man. "What do we do now?"
The man's lips curled into a slight smile. "Do you have an invitation?"
"What do you need an invitation for!" Yang Juan stood with her hands on her hips, looking like a shrew. "Go in and ask around. The young mistress of the Lin family in Yangcheng is my... my cousin's niece! As long as she says so, we can go in! Who do you think you are, daring to ask me for an invitation!"
"The Lin family?" The man smirked and chuckled. "Madam, I am the general manager of Minghuang Family, serving only the four major families. As for the Lin family you mentioned, forgive my ignorance, but I have never seen them on the list."
Yang Juan's expression changed, and Jiang Mingyuan glared at her angrily.
At this moment, more and more people passed by, and some looked at them curiously, their gazes like sharp blades, making Jiang Mingyuan feel ashamed.
"Miss Jiang," the manager said respectfully, extending his hand, "this way, please!"
Jiang Can pursed her lips and followed lightly. The manager clapped his hands, and two attendants immediately came over to prevent any media reporters from harassing her.
Jiang Yao watched helplessly as Jiang Can entered the magnificent hall like a star surrounded by the moon, and stomped her foot angrily.
Jiang Can followed the manager into a room, a magnificent place, like a palace where fairies lived.
However, she was far from the banquet hall and couldn't hear the noise.
The dishes on the table were exquisite and unique, with excellent color, aroma, and taste, and waiters were available whenever needed.
Jiang Can was still confused when the manager smiled gently at her, "Miss Jiang, please have your meal first. My young master knew you weren't wearing a formal dress, so he arranged for you to be here. Are you satisfied?"
Jiang Can was taken aback, then nodded vigorously.
"Young Master said that it's fine if Miss Jiang doesn't attend the banquet, as long as she eats and drinks well and has a good time."
"May I ask who your young master is...?"
The manager smiled meaningfully and looked at the documents in her hand.
"Miss Jiang, who do you wish to give this information to tonight?"
Jiang Can thought for a moment, could it be that Bai Jingyuan saw her forcing her way into the Bai Group building that afternoon?
Unexpectedly, this high-and-mighty young master is quite hospitable, arranging for her here, away from the banquet hall, so she doesn't have to squeeze into the crowds, and can eat and drink her fill and rest here to her heart's content.
Maybe we can even ask this uncle to hand over the sales proposal while we're at it...
Jiang Can smiled, bowed to the manager, and then solemnly handed the documents to him.
...
After returning to Jiangzhou, she excitedly told Gu Mang about it.
Gu Mang sat on the sofa, watching the little woman busily tidying up the house while chattering excitedly like a magpie.
He smiled softly, feeling as if he had been transported to another world.
Jiang Can was overjoyed, not only because she had successfully submitted the sales proposal, but also because she saw Yang Juan and Jiang Yao's faces contorted with anger as they were blocked at the entrance of the banquet hall.
However, she didn't tell Gu Mang about what happened later.
Therefore, the name Bai Jingyuan appeared repeatedly in her description.
"I thought this business trip would be a complete failure, but thanks to Bai Jingyuan, I was finally able to submit the sales plan and give the company a satisfactory answer."
"I didn't expect that young master Bai to be so friendly, he actually invited me in too! Heh, but I didn't attend any banquet, I just ate and drank in a nice room."
"Young Master Bai is quite different from what I imagined. I thought someone born with a silver spoon in his mouth would be a bit of a playboy... But he's still very ambitious!"
"Ambition?"
Gu Mang was already annoyed, and hearing those three words only fueled his anger, causing him to let out a soft sneer.
"Did you meet him in person? Did you get to speak with him?"
"No, not at all." Jiang Can scratched his head sheepishly. "But the fact that he was willing to look at my sales plan shows he's very ambitious, doesn't it?"
"Your understanding of him is limited to photos and some official documents. The biggest interaction between you is that he treated you to a meal, but he never even showed his face... And you can conclude from that that he's career-minded?"
Jiang Can glanced at him cautiously and noticed that the man's complexion was a little off; it was frighteningly dark.
She paused, then asked softly, "Honey, what's wrong? Are you angry?"
