Bai Rui.
Room 208.
The girl Jiang Nian was to meet was codenamed Wildfire, but her real name was Li Ning, and she was from Beijing.
Quick-witted, well-connected, and efficient.
Their main role is to act as intermediaries in the black market, connecting buyers and sellers to facilitate transactions.
When I have free time, I also take on jobs like investigating and tracking people.
Jiang Nian's black market pill business was always managed by Li Ning. The two had been working together for several years, and a few months ago they became a couple, so they knew each other's true identities.
They are friends who are quite familiar to each other.
As soon as Jiang Nian walked over and sat down, Li Ning gave her a warm hug.
"I saw it trending. I knew FOX was no ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to be this amazing."
The interplay of light and shadow in the bar cast shadows on Jiang Nian, reflecting in her eyes. The girl's cool and aloof face was stunningly beautiful.
Jiang Nian asked, "Did you find the person you were looking for?"
“I checked. But Si Boye is the sole heir of the Si family, not an ordinary person. His information, like yours, has been hidden, and very little can be found.”
As for his likes, dislikes, and weaknesses—
"According to my research, Si Boye is a capricious person who does whatever he wants. He doesn't even get close to women. I can't see any weaknesses or what he likes."
This was also within Jiang Nian's expectations.
Old Master Si retired long ago, and the Si family, such a powerful and colossal entity, has been under the control of Si Boye in recent years.
People who sit in such positions naturally won't allow outsiders to easily investigate or expose them.
However, Li Ning's statement about not being interested in women reminded her of the man's words that morning, his arms around her waist, his voice low and husky: "Niannian, I'm very clean..."
Jiang Nian couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Si Boyezhen has never been with a woman?"
Li Ning stuffed a piece of watermelon from the fruit plate into her mouth and casually said, "Really not. I heard that some business people tried to give Si Boye women and even secretly gave him aphrodisiacs."
"Before the woman was even brought to the room, the man who had plotted against her had his hands and feet crippled. He was also the CEO of a listed company, and the next day, he disappeared from Jiangcheng."
"And I heard that the woman who was originally supposed to be sent to Si Boye's bed was also a beauty, but Si Boye didn't even look at her and sent her away."
Jiang Nian asked Li Ning, "What kind of woman would a man like Si Boye dislike?"
"Huh?" Li Ning's expression was exaggerated. "It's easy for someone like Si Boye to hate women, but it would be strange if he liked one."
"Have you read any CEO romance novels? These CEOs hate women who are greedy for their power, who fawn over them, and who are materialistic and vain."
"So in novels, it's the kind of female protagonist who is different from these women, who doesn't love the CEO's money, ignores the CEO, or even confronts the CEO directly, that makes the CEO fall in love with her."
"Aren't there some classic lines like, 'Woman, you're playing with fire'? And 'Woman, you've successfully caught my attention'?"
Li Ning gave a wicked smile.
"...So that's how it is?"
Jiang Nian seemed to suddenly understand.
Why did Si Boye become entangled with her?
It turned out it was because she acted too differently from others.
Just then, her phone rang. Jiang Nian stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom to answer this call."
Sitting on the toilet, I answered the phone, and Han Xu's slightly gloating voice came from the other end.
"Sister Nian, you were right. The Tang family and the Jiang family really did have a falling out."
Jiang Nian held her phone calmly: "Go on and tell me more."
"Today, Tang Qiuya had this incident, which was even broadcast live online. The Tang family must have lost face as a result. They have had all the live broadcast replays of Tang Qiuya deleted from the internet."
"But what's most troubling for the Tang family is that Tang Qiuya lost a bet with you and is now threatening to drop out of Yingzhong."
“Yingzhong is the best high school in Jiangcheng. How could the Tang family, with their status, let their daughter drop out of Yingzhong and go to a second-rate school in Jiangcheng? They would either send her abroad or send her to Beijing, but Tang Qiuyue is already a senior in high school. It's not enough trouble for her.”
"But Tang Qiuyue has always been proud and arrogant. She promised in front of the whole class and even the whole internet that if she couldn't pass your exam, she would drop out of school and refused to stay at Yingzhong. The Tang family couldn't do anything about her, so they naturally took their anger out on Jiang Ranran, who had instigated Tang Qiuyue to frame you."
"The Tang family made a phone call and withdrew all their previous investments in Shenglan Real Estate."
"That idiot Jiang Sheng, the company was already in debt and couldn't pay off its loans, now he's probably in even more trouble."
Jiang Nian said, "I will have someone acquire the shares of Shenglan Real Estate for me."
"What?" Han Xu thought he had misheard.
“Sister Nian, with Jiang Sheng’s limited abilities, Shenglan Real Estate has been poorly managed and has been losing money every month for the past few years.”
"Now that the Tang family has withdrawn its investment and is facing debt, the company's bankruptcy is only a matter of time, and you still want to acquire it?"
Jiang Nian's eyes held an indifference.
Her goal was not to bankrupt Shenglan Real Estate.
It's too easy to bankrupt a company.
Rather than destroying it, what she wanted to do was to take what the Jiang family was most proud of and make it hers.
*
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Nian walked out of the bathroom.
But they discovered that Li Ning was no longer in the private room.
The unfinished fruit platter was still on the marble tabletop.
She glanced at her phone again and realized that Li Ning had sent her a message a few minutes earlier.
[Sorry, FOX, something unexpected came up and I had to go out. I heard you were on the phone, so I didn't call you. I'll treat you to dinner in Jiangcheng another day!]
[PS: I left you a gift as an apology—love, Wildfire!]
