Chapter 457 I am trying to please my future father-in-law
However, Jiang Yao still knew nothing about the Xiao family’s industrial development and the projects they currently needed.
Just as she was thinking about investigating later, she received some information on WeChat from Li Beiting.
"I have sent you the Xiao family's current businesses and future development plans. You can study them and decide where to start."
Li Beiting's voice is even more moving than the sound of nature.
He always thinks what he wants and overcomes all difficulties for her.
"Thank you, Beiting, it's great to have you." Her voice was full of gratitude.
Li Beiting chuckled, "If Mr. Xiao is really my future father-in-law, everything I do now can be regarded as trying to please him, so don't be polite with me. I also have selfish motives."
Jiang Yao felt a sweet feeling in his heart.
Who would express selfish thoughts directly? This is not selfish at all. It is clearly an expression of the most passionate love to her!
"Once my parents are reunited, it will be time to consider our marriage."
After saying that, she hung up the phone shyly.
Li Beiting listened to the busy tone on the phone for a long time, and the light in his eyes became even more intense.
In this case, he must do everything he can to reunite their family.
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was the evening of the business banquet three days later.
Jiang Yao wore a well-fitting suit jacket and attended the event with Li Beiting.
There were many guests on the scene, all of them were business tycoons.
Jiang Yao briefly greeted some acquaintances, and after looking around the first floor, he didn't see Xiao Zhengrong.
She exchanged glances with Li Beiting, and they separated. She walked up the stairs to the second floor.
"Mr. Xiao, we have known each other for so long after all. Don't be in a hurry to reject me. It will hurt me a lot." A woman's charming voice came from not far away.
Jiang Yao opened his eyes wide and looked over, and saw a woman in a red dress, with a curvy figure and an enchanting appearance, with her hands around Xiao Zhengrong's neck.
Her chest was almost touching him.
The corner of Jiang Yao's mouth twitched fiercely.
This man who is suspected to be her father, could he have become a playboy now?
If that's the case, then she doesn't need to acknowledge her father and can just turn around and leave immediately.
Fortunately, the next second, Xiao Zhengrong pushed the person away, his face a little pale: "Ms. Wang, please respect yourself."
The enchanting woman snorted and laughed, then continued to move forward boldly, revealing her long legs under her high-slit skirt. "Look at me. I don't believe any man can resist my temptation. I have never failed to get what I want."
Seeing her rushing towards him again, Xiao Zhengrong's face turned cold and he dodged to the side, causing the woman to miss her attack and stagger and fall to the ground.
However, Xiao Zhengrong didn't even help her up. He even took out two wet tissues from the table beside him and wiped his fingers. His eyes were condescending, full of arrogance and disgust.
Although he didn't say anything, he brought great humiliation to the woman.
The woman stood up in frustration, about to explode, when Jiang Yao took two steps forward. "Excuse me, Mr. Xiao, but I'm Jiang Yao, and I made an appointment with you to discuss cooperation. I'm wondering if it's convenient for you right now."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiao Zhengrong's eyes when he saw her.
But a smile immediately appeared on his face. "Of course it's convenient, Miss Jiang. Let's go across the street and talk."
Then he walked past the woman and left with Jiang Yao.
The woman who stayed behind stomped her feet in anger.
When they reached the opposite side, Xiao Zhengrong casually found a seat and sat down. His attitude instantly turned cold. "I don't remember making an appointment with you to discuss cooperation in advance. You can leave now."
Jiang Yao was a little surprised at how quickly his expression changed. "Boss Xiao, at least I helped you out just now. Even if it's out of gratitude, you should take a look at my project first before considering whether to continue the discussion."
"You deliberately told me those things in the restaurant last time, wasn't it just to pave the way for today's cooperation?" Xiao Zhengrong obviously misunderstood her purpose.
Jiang Yao wasn't angry about this, nor did he explain. Instead, he continued, "Even if that's the case, you didn't even look at my project and rejected it outright. Do you have a problem with me, or do you lack confidence in yourself and are afraid that you can't swallow this big pie with your ability?"
Her attitude was proud. Perhaps Xiao Zhengrong didn't realize that their personalities and attitudes towards things were actually very similar.
They all have the character of refusing to admit defeat.
"Okay." Xiao Zhengrong was really interested. "I want to see how powerful your project is."
Jiang Yao smiled with satisfaction, then sat down opposite him, took out his plan and began to talk. "As far as I know, the Xiao Group is far ahead in the field of science and technology..."
Xiao Zhengrong was very nonchalant at first.
After hearing this, there was a light in his eyes.
This little girl, although young, is smarter than he imagined.
What she wanted to talk about was exactly the technology that Xiao family currently lacked.
"I don't know if what I said can impress Mr. Xiao!" She always had a calm smile on her face.
Xiao Zhengrong looked at her admiringly. "I always like dealing with smart people. Next time, you can bring the contract directly to my company."
Jiang Yao was delighted and stood up and extended his left hand to him, "Mr. Xiao, I wish us a happy cooperation."
When Xiao Zhengrong reached out to shake his hand, Jiang Yao saw a bloodstain on his arm. "Mr. Xiao, your arm—"
Xiao Zhengrong lowered his head, rolled up his sleeves and took a look. "It must have been accidentally scratched by that woman's nails. It's okay."
Jiang Yao looked at the scar on his upper arm in astonishment.
"Mr. Xiao, is that a burn on the upper part of your arm?" she asked tentatively.
Xiao Zhengrong put down his rolled-up sleeves without changing his expression and said casually, "That should be the case. It's been so long that I can't remember clearly."
He didn't want to say more.
Jiang Yao didn't want to ask any more questions, so he simply changed the subject, "But Mr. Xiao, you can bring your girlfriend to the banquet next time. This way, you can avoid some unnecessary entanglements."
She seemed to be giving a kind reminder.
"I don't have a girlfriend." Xiao Zhengrong answered frankly.
"How come a man as handsome as you is not married and has no girlfriend?" she asked with pretended curiosity.
"I'm old now, not interested in relationships anymore. I just want to focus on my career." Xiao Zhengrong said as a matter of course, then narrowed his eyes, "Why, Miss Jiang seems to be very interested in my affairs."
Jiang Yao readily accepted the advice: "Because you look very much like an elder I'm familiar with, I couldn't help but say a few more words. If I offended you, I apologize."
Her honesty made Xiao Zhengrong's liking for her increase by two points. "It's not that I'm offended. In fact, I also feel that you are very kind, just like a junior who I have known for a long time."
