Upon hearing this, Marketing Director Zhang immediately gave his subordinates a meaningful look.
However, Jiang Yao looked at Jiang Can with a cold smile: "I remember that Manager Jiang is very good at serving tea and water. Then I'll trouble you to make me a cup of tea!"
All eyes turned to Jiang Can.
It seems that the conflict between the legitimate heiress and the illegitimate daughter is irreconcilable.
Jiang Can stood up, glanced at her, and walked expressionlessly toward the tea room.
Dai Wei's eyelids twitched. The thought of someone having orchestrated the merger of Bai Jingyuan and Ye Chen's two companies sent a chill down his spine.
He was about to get up and step forward to stop Jiang Can, but then he thought again, maybe it was just a coincidence? Perhaps the two companies originally wanted to merge, and it just so happened that it happened right when Jiang Can got into trouble...
In short, Jiang Can's background is a mystery, but Jiang Yao's background is clearly laid out before us.
He couldn't afford to offend this heiress for the sake of an illegitimate daughter.
Dai Wei sat back down, straightened his posture, and remained silent like everyone else.
A moment later, Jiang Can came in with a tea tray and brewed a cup for everyone, filling the small conference room with a pleasant aroma of tea.
When she placed the teacup in front of Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao glanced at it casually, brought the cup to her lips but did not drink from it. Instead, she smelled it and frowned slightly.
"This tea..."
Everyone put down their teacups and watched her quietly.
Jiang Yao sneered, "This tea is so dark, it wasn't washed before brewing, was it?"
"Manager Jiang, do you even know how to brew tea? The first rinse is for washing the tea leaves, you have to discard it! Ha, you can't even do this simple thing right, what kind of manager are you?"
"It's just lucky that I was the one who ran into you today," Jiang Yao said arrogantly, arms crossed. "If it had been anyone else, wouldn't they have laughed at us to death? Manager Jiang, in front of clients, you represent the company's image! You absolutely cannot make this kind of mistake again, understand?"
Jiang Can looked at her calmly the whole time.
"Yes, I know I represent the company's image, so I used the company's finest tea to entertain Miss Jiang."
That's it?
"This is a white oolong tea with a beautiful name called Oriental Beauty." Jiang Can chuckled. "This tea doesn't need to be washed. What you drink is the tea leaf tips, because they are rich in amino acids and theanine, which will be washed away if you wash them."
Jiang Yao's expression changed instantly, while the others pretended to drink tea to hide their snickers.
Jiang Yao, feeling embarrassed, stood up abruptly and glared angrily at Jiang Can.
"What, you think you know everything? You've never even seen the good tea Dad usually gives me! Don't try to fool me with some 'Oriental Beauty' tea. I've never heard of such a thing, and I don't even know where you got these tea leaves from!"
“Miss Jiang, you’re mistaken,” Director Zhang chuckled dryly. “Oriental Beauty tea is indeed one of our company’s finest teas, reserved only for VIPs. Heh… I’ve heard that the patriarch of the Huo family in Yangcheng is particularly fond of this tea, and the Huo family spends hundreds of millions on it every year!”
“Yes!” someone chimed in. “How could this be tea dregs? Miss Jiang, are you joking?”
"you……"
Jiang Yao bit her lip, her face turning pale with anger.
Jiang Can glanced at her, which made her feel even more that Jiang Can was humiliating her and making a fool of herself!
Enraged, she gripped the cup tightly, intending to splash it in Jiang Can's face! Jiang Can had anticipated this move and nimbly dodged to the side.
A cup of scalding hot tea was spilled on the wall, and the cup shattered on the floor.
The meeting room fell silent. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the woman who resembled a shrew.
"Miss Jiang, what's wrong...?"
The two directors were already showing their displeasure; cooperating with this kind of person would definitely lead to endless troubles!
Jiang Can paused for a moment, then stepped forward and gently pressed Jiang Yao's arm.
Just as Jiang Yao was about to lash out, she was silenced by a single look from her.
It was rare to see Jiang Can so fierce, but she was no longer a little white rabbit to be bullied. Jiang Yao's heart trembled, her lips twitched, and she dared not utter another sound.
Could it be that spending too much time with someone like Gu Mang has made Jiang Can, who is usually gentle and timid, succumb to his fierce aura?
What do you want to do?
“Sister,” Jiang Can lowered her voice, her clear black and white eyes revealing a hint of authority, “I represent the company, and you represent Dad, and the Jiang family! Are you trying to embarrass Dad by being so unreasonable?”
Jiang Yao stared at her blankly, clenching her fists tightly.
"If that cup of tea had been spilled on me, there would definitely be people in the company who would want to watch the drama and release the video. As the client, Jiang's company has humiliated and personally attacked the staff of the contractor without cause. This is definitely something that would make headlines and trend on social media!"
"Sister, Dad is a man who cares a lot about his reputation. What do you think he will do to you?"
"..." Jiang Yao's face turned red, and she couldn't say a word.
Jiang Can sneered and released her arm. "Sister, since you're out working, you need to watch your words and actions. After all, I also have the surname Jiang, and I don't want to be implicated by you!"
"Heh, it seems this tea doesn't suit Miss Jiang's taste." Jiang Can raised her voice, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I'll go get you a new cup!"
After speaking, she turned gracefully and walked out of the conference room with composed steps.
Well, since she doesn't like good tea, we'll just have to give her what she wants and use tea leaves instead!
Jiang Can's gaze was cool and aloof, and she smiled slightly.
But suddenly she seemed to have thought of something...
She didn't actually recognize the Oriental Beauty tea she had just brewed; Gu Mang had brought it home for her to drink once before. Moreover, Gu Mang had taught her that this tea didn't need to be rinsed before brewing.
Because she doesn't usually study tea, she didn't find anything special about it.
I didn't expect to hear from the director today that the Huo family in Yangcheng also likes this kind of tea, and it's so expensive.
A strange thought flashed through her mind like lightning.
Could it be that Gu Mang...
But she quickly shook her head, laughing at herself for being too sensitive. It's just a slightly more expensive type of tea, nothing rare, how could they be connected? Gu Mang is Gu Mang, he has absolutely no connection with the Huo family.
...
What should have been a simple cooperation meeting that could have been resolved in an hour and a half was dragged out until the end of the workday because of Jiang Yao's antics.
After getting off work, Jiang Can dragged her tired body home, lay down on the sofa as soon as she entered, and sighed deeply.
Gu Mang poured her a glass of water.
"Thanks."
"You don't look well." He sat down beside her and touched her forehead. "Where does it hurt?"
Jiang Can shook her head and said with a wry smile, "It's probably because of the hot weather, and I'm a little tired. Are you hungry? I'll go cook something right away."
"Hey, no need." Gu Mang pressed down on her shoulder.
He suddenly realized that she had lost weight again, and her shoulder blades were protruding, digging into his palm.
He had a slightly strange feeling in his heart.
"Can Can, let's go out to eat today."
She blinked her big eyes at him, "Where to?"
