Chapter 299 Where to Go
The airport photo of the couple went viral with just a blurry afterimage, and rumors spread overnight. They were filming a new movie, had a new look, and were making an international debut. Amid all the noise, haters also found a way to revel. One group said they worshipped foreigners and had secretly immigrated, and another group said Jiang Yunhui was abusive and that there were signs of discord between the couple. In short, it was a mess.
"Look at this, what a mess." Chen Weiming threw his phone on the table, his chin shaking with anger.
"Hasn't he been driven away?" Mr. Duan glanced at Jiang Chao with a grin.
"I am scared. The company's image was almost ruined by these people."
Jiang Chao's lips moved slightly, and Mr. Li saw this and quickly changed the subject: "Let's talk business. I heard that Santong Electronics is going to engage in new energy business again? Mr. Jin personally attended the city's new energy industry development conference, and after the meeting he talked with Deputy Mayor Zhao for a long time."
Jiang Chao leaned back in his chair with his fingers crossed. He had known it for a long time, and he even knew the content of the conversation. The Jin family was just exploring the way forward, after all, the wounds from the last loss to both sides had not healed yet.
"Should we send someone to contact them?" asked Mr. Li.
Jiang Chao did not respond, but not responding is the best answer. Didn't you guys "close down" the studio together? Didn't you guys say that traditional cars are fundamental? Just now you were passionately and indignantly accusing others of damaging the company's image.
"When are you and Jin Nuoyi planning to get married?" Chen Weiming asked.
"Heh..." Jiang Chao suddenly sneered, "Why don't we do it tomorrow? In this way, even if they take over the new energy market, it will be our post-marital property? Baotu can get half of the market without any effort? I just don't know if the Jin family, who are also calculating, will agree to do this. They may also want to do a notarization of their pre-marital property."
Chen Weiming's face suddenly changed. He was not a fool and could hear the hidden meaning in the words.
"I'll go check out the situation tomorrow. If there really is a change in the wind direction, we can prepare in advance." Mr. Li tried his best to get the topic back on track.
"I still mean the same thing. We should continue to promote the new energy sector, but we need to find a regular company to cooperate with." Chen Weiming refused to give in.
Mr. Duan smiled and shook his head as if he was watching a play. He pouted at Chen Weiming and said, "That's enough. How can making him mad be good for us and the company?"
"Then let Mr. Chen take care of this business. Third brother, ask Mr. Chen if you have any plans. I have made an appointment with my future wife to have dinner together, so we need to improve our relationship as soon as possible."
Jiang Chao had a rascally smile on his face and walked out of the door in a swagger, twirling the car keys in one hand.
"Does Jin Nuoyi have a vice president? I'll try my best, even if it's just to get insurance." Mr. Duan also followed closely with a smile.
This... Chen Weiming held his breath in his throat, and after holding it in for a long time, he could only exhale a breath of foul air out of his chest. He looked at Mr. Li and scolded these two useless people with just his eyes.
"You are always so stubborn, why do you want to provoke him?!" Mr. Li said with just enough resentment and helplessness, "In fact, he is not a bad person and can accomplish things. He is just a donkey who goes with the flow. You should talk to him nicely and don't be so stubborn. Things can still be accomplished."
"Mr. Jiang entrusted me with his whole heart to look after him..." Chen Weiming sighed.
"Why bother?! Optimizing is not the same as watching for death! Listen to my advice. No matter how many companies you find, bring Xiang Nuan with you. It's a competition and selection. It's not certain who will win, but at least you should show your attitude."
"No way!"
Chen Weiming's eyebrows stood up, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.
Hey! One is more stubborn than the other! Mr. Li looked at himself as he was the only one left in the room and laughed bitterly.
Since the last time the Jin and Jiang families lost the competition, different voices have emerged within the company. After facilitating the marriage between the two companies, CEO Jiang "stepped down" as promised and handed over the company to Jiang Chao to manage.
"The future belongs to the children. Let them go and explore. It's time for us two old folks to enjoy our retirement."
This is what he said to Mr. Jin, and this is what he did. But judging from the subsequent developments, he completely withdrew, threw his hands up, and did not care about anything. Mr. Jin, on the other hand, only changed from personally taking charge of the front desk to commanding behind the scenes, and he was still the real decision-making core of the Jin family.
The result is obvious. Santong is still Santong, Baotu...
Mr. Li didn't dare to say what the future of Baotu would be. Jiang Chao's style was well known to everyone, and it had nothing to do with the image of a traditional second-generation elite. But he still had the insurance of the Jin family. Who knew if the marriage would lead to mergers and reorganizations?
Alas! Forget about looking ahead one step, even taking the current step well is difficult. Mr. Li left Jiang Chao's office dejectedly, thinking that he had to have a good talk with Jiang Chao no matter what.
He wasn't the only one who wanted to talk to Jiang Chao.
After Mr. Duan left the office, he quickly caught up with him and jumped into his car.
"Give me a ride," he said with a grin.
Jiang Chao glanced at him, and without further ado, set off.
"During the financial reconciliation a few days ago, Mr. Wang reported a lot more research and development expenses." Mr. Duan chatted as if he had nothing to say.
"Aren't you in charge of finances?" Jiang Chao looked at the car expressionlessly.
"Really? So I asked him to come over and ask."
Mr. Duan paused at this point, waiting for Jiang Chao's reaction. But Jiang Chao didn't intend to give any feedback, still looking forward.
"Brother, take me with you wherever you want to play." After a moment's silence, Mr. Duan decided to go the shameless route.
Jiang Chao chuckled: "It's not enough for me to play alone in the company, how about we play together? Old Chen's hair will fall out in anger."
"He is an old-fashioned man. Even without us, he would still compete with himself."
This is true. Thinking of Chen Weiming's cold and arrogant look all day long, Jiang Chao couldn't help laughing.
"I know you want to develop new energy, but the company is so small. It's not easy to do it secretly without telling Lao Chen."
Jiang Chao's expression changed slightly: "That's right, I secretly opened a studio, but he closed it down with a wave of his hand, alas." He also expressed his aggrieved and coquettish feeling.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about," Mr. Duan said seriously, "It's okay if you don't want to say it. I just want to tell you that we are from the same country. I'll help you with the funding. If you need me to help you in the future, just arrange it."
Jiang Chao turned the steering wheel and stopped the car on the side of the road.
"From now on, I will have a happy married life and work hard for my wife."
"I see. I've long found that her secretary is very interesting and pretty."
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Her secretary is a man, can you do this?" Jiang Chao said with a smile.
"That's an internal secret. She also has an external secret." Mr. Duan winked at him.
"Oh, so this is how you differentiate? Inside and outside, haha."
"You want to say that the external secretary is just a cover, right? She can't grasp the core secrets. Wrong, wrong, wrong, this is also one of her tricks. She wants others to know that this girl with a pretty face, hot body and outstanding temperament is just a facade. If I tell you that she is a genuine top student of Wharton Business School, you will definitely not think so."
This time, Jiang Chao looked at the man in front of him carefully and found that he was the best master at disguise and hiding.
"Why?" Jiang Chao asked.
"I bet you'll win."
"Why?" Jiang Chao asked again.
"I don't have any lofty ambitions. I just want to have enough food and drink, be happy and free, so I have to choose a big tree with deep roots and lush leaves to lean on. When the wind is strong, the tree will inevitably shake. I give my best to support it so that I can lean on it more steadily in the future."
Mr. Duan shrugged his shoulders, as if saying, "It sounds outrageous, but this is what I really feel."
"The Jin family is a bigger tree." Jiang Chao sneered.
"I bet you'll win."
Xiao Duan's eyes were rarely seen deep, as if there was a beast in his body staring at Jiang Chao through his eyes. But in the moment of staring at each other, the beast turned its head away and lazily retreated back to the depths of the cave.
"What's the foreign secretary's name?" Jiang Chao started the car again.
