Chapter 67 She didn't suspect me, did she?
This is a private club.
Jiang Ning tidied up his appearance.
She changed into a black business suit, somewhat like a college student going for a job interview, and her mood was similar to that of a college student going for a job interview.
Actually, Jiang Ning has a bit of a psychological aversion to clubs.
Because she had gotten into trouble with Qian Dazhi at the club before, which caused her a lot of trouble.
Jiang Ning is here to meet with angel investors.
She had wanted to leave the Lu family for a long time, but she had never thought about returning to FY.
She decided to establish her own jewelry design studio and create her own brand.
Jiang Ning considers himself somewhat qualified in design, but being a boss is a first for him.
She has some money, but with a long-term investment in a jewelry brand, that amount is just a drop in the ocean.
Moreover, she has huge medical expenses to pay.
She had contacted several suitable candidates from the angel investor group that Gu Lanlan had given her, but they showed little interest in her and her project.
Jiang Ning understands the saying "everything is difficult at the beginning" and is mentally prepared for it.
But God still favored her.
Holding his briefcase, Jiang Ning found the private room the other party had specified.
This Blue Dream Bay is quite different from Modern Times. Although it is called a club, the interior decoration and atmosphere have little entertainment value and are filled with a strong business atmosphere.
There were no drunkards like Qian Dazhi openly harassing women in the corridor.
Jiang Ning felt a little relieved.
She initially wanted to meet at a hotel, but the other party mentioned the risk of the project's confidentiality being leaked, so she came here instead.
Jiang Ning knocked on the door and entered the private room, where the other party was already waiting.
This angel investor, surnamed Li, wasn't in the group Gu Lanlan had given her, but he took the initiative to contact her.
Jiang Ning didn't believe in free lunches, and after several attempts to test the other party, she was surprised by their knowledgeable demeanor.
This investor, Mr. Li, has previously invested in several emerging designers. He has a good understanding of high-end luxury goods and is passionate about achieving win-win results with young and innovative entrepreneurs.
Jiang Ning talked with the other party for almost five hours. The other party expressed great interest in her brand positioning and development plan, but he needed to go back and carefully consider how much to invest.
The two left Blue Dream Bay together. The other party offered to take Jiang Ning home, but Jiang Ning declined.
Jiang Ning took a taxi home, while Investor Li drove to the CBD of City A.
At night, the CBD is filled with towering buildings and bright lights. This core business district, which combines prosperity and high-end living, always gives people the impression of a steel forest.
Among them, the Ning Group Building, which is 120 stories high, stands out.
Li Mingyu clocked in and went inside, then took the elevator to the general manager's office.
"President Ning, I have completed all the tasks you assigned."
Ning Junzhe stood by the window, his back straight, gazing at the dazzling night view of the CBD.
"She didn't suspect me, did she?" Ning Junzhe asked softly.
Li Mingyu thought for a moment and replied, "There shouldn't be any flaws... I feel like I didn't reveal anything. Ning's Group already has a venture capital firm, and the resume I showed Miss Jiang was all genuine. Miss Jiang would never have guessed that I was sent by you, President Ning, to help her."
"Um."
Ning Junzhe breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little choked up inside.
Jiang Ning didn't suspect that he was helping behind the scenes, perhaps not only because Li Mingyu's acting was natural, but also because Jiang Ning had long forgotten about him!
Hearing Ning Junzhe's helpless sigh, Li Mingyu asked, "President Ning?"
Ning Junzhe turned around and faced Li Mingyu.
He was much younger than Li Mingyu, but at this moment he was wearing a tailor-made high-end suit and had his hair slicked back, making him look much more mature and exuding the aura of a superior.
"You've done a good job. From now on, you'll assist Jiangning's startup as an angel investor. That's your job for the time being. If you do well, you'll definitely get a performance bonus."
"Thank you, Mr. Ning."
After everything was arranged, Ning Junzhe was left alone in the office again.
Ning Junzhe picked up his phone and glanced at the WeChat message his mother had sent him; it was a photo.
Jiang Ning is in an exceptionally good mood today.
The resignation process at Lu's company is finally complete, and she is now a free agent. Although she is not yet free in marriage, she is free in her job first, which is better than being free in neither.
Investor Li contacted her and said that the first round of investment could be 30 million yuan, on the condition that Jiangning's original brand must be qualified to participate in this year's LD Jewelry Fashion Week.
Jiang Ning readily agreed, which largely dispelled his initial suspicions about Li Mingyu.
If Li Mingyu, as the investor who took the initiative to approach her, didn't make any demands on her, then he really had ulterior motives.
Jiang Ning is looking at cars at the BMW 4S store.
Having his own studio, it was really inconvenient not having his own car, so Jiang Ning decided to buy one.
She had arranged to have Gu Lanlan accompany her, but after visiting two 4S stores, Gu Lanlan was called away by a phone call from her workplace.
Jiang Ning continued shopping alone, and unexpectedly ran into Chu Qingxue at the BMW 4S store.
Chu Qingxue was certainly not alone.
Jiang Ning assumed that the person accompanying Chu Qingxue to look at cars must be Lu Junyan.
"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"
Yuan Pei followed Chu Qingxue's gaze and then noticed Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning was already surprised to see Yuan Pei accompanying Chu Qingxue to buy a car, but she didn't expect that Yuan Pei's eyes would widen even more when he saw her.
"You're here to buy a car?" Yuan Pei strode up to Jiang Ning. "Can you afford it?"
After saying that, he waved his hand again, "Wait, can you drive?"
Jiang Ning ignored Yuan Pei and turned to leave.
"Don't go! I'm asking you a question! Does Brother Lu know you bought a car without my permission?"
Before Yuan Pei could grab Jiang Ning's arm, Chu Qingxue grasped it first.
Yuan Pei blushed and scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
“Yuan Pei, don’t tell Junyan about this. Jiang Ning has worked hard for the Lu family for so many years, it’s understandable that he wants to spend some money now.”
"Sister-in-law, you're just too kind. It's Brother Lu who works hard to earn money, why should she get any credit?"
Jiang Ning understood from Yuan Pei's words that Lu Junyan must have had work today, which was why he couldn't come to accompany Chu Qingxue.
Not wanting to argue with someone like Yuan Pei, Jiang Ning looked at his cars and quickly chose a white BMW 3 Series.
It's a fairly conventional and low-key style, and when you go out to discuss collaborations with others, you won't be looked down upon, making it a good fit for designers who are just starting out in their own studios.
Chu Qingxue has also finished choosing her car. She chose a brand new limited edition two-door soft-top convertible sports car with a custom metallic pink paint.
Jiang Ning had just finished paying when he heard Chu Qingxue making a phone call to Lu Junyan.
"Junyan, I think this car I finally chose suits me quite well. What do you think?"
"You don't need to save me money like this, but as long as you like it, that's fine."
Chu Qingxue's face was beaming with a happy smile.
Jiang Ning noticed that Chu Qingxue deliberately glanced in her direction.
