However, just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by Wen Ting.
"Okay, I didn't realize when you started to care so much."
"I think it was right not to give you one. If I had, I would have paid extra attention to it."
Wen Ting's words were a little obscure, but Jiang Huaibei was no fool and understood it in an instant.
The smile on his lips paused for a moment, and then returned to his previous state: "Why, are you afraid that your precious sister will be impressed by my beauty?"
The question was asked without any ambiguity, and even the tone in which it was spoken was nonchalant.
Wen Ting glanced at him and nodded seriously, "I'll be worried."
These words were so blunt that they were a little scary. Jiang Huaibei looked at Wen Ting without blinking, and both of them were silent.
Suddenly, Jiang Huaibei sneered: "Wen Ting, how come your brother was like an old father back then?"
"Your sister is my sister. I helped her so much, so it's not too much to ask for a thank you gift, right?"
Jiang Huaibei's face showed no different emotions. Wen Ting said, "Huaibei, have you been very close to Nanzhi recently?"
These words were filled with doubt. Jiang Huaibei looked up at him and said, "Indeed, we have a good relationship."
Then he changed the subject: "After all, I have helped her so many times. Although I don't expect her to treat me like her brother, she should be better than others."
"You know I never meddle in other people's business. But now that I'm involved, I must protect our sister Nanzhi. After all, there are four of us, and she's our only sister."
This was said in a joking manner, but it did make Wen Ting retract his inquiring gaze.
Then he said, "Nanzhi should be asleep now. She said she was a little tired. Let's have dinner."
After seeing Wen Ting's mood return to normal, Jiang Huaibei smiled and nodded: "That's fine, it's a good opportunity to have dinner at your house."
Wen Ting glanced at him and said nothing.
Instead, he tried on the cufflinks Xu Nanzhi had given him, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood at the moment.
Jiang Huaibei's eyes were always on Wen Ting who was trying on cufflinks, and he didn't move away. If he hadn't been looking at the cufflinks, people would really misunderstand that he was looking at Wen Ting affectionately.
At 6:30 in the evening, Xu Nanzhi woke up to the ringing of his cell phone.
Squinting his eyes, he reached for the phone: "Hello."
Because Xu Nanzhi had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse.
"Zizi, do you have a cold?" Zhou Fang's voice came from the receiver, with some concern in his tone.
Clearing his throat, Xu Nanzhi said, "I was sleeping, I don't have a cold."
Hearing her say this, Zhou Fang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
Turning on the speakerphone on his phone, Xu Nanzhi asked, "What's going on?"
Zhou Fang has been in a state of not visiting people unless there is something important recently. If someone calls her, it must be because he has something to talk to her about.
As expected, after hearing Xu Nanzhi's words, Zhou Fang chuckled: "You still understand me."
"It's not a big deal. I just recently took on a new project. The risk assessment team was formed on a temporary basis, and I always felt that it was a bit unprofessional."
"My own team in China doesn't have much experience with cross-border projects. After all, this project has a large investment, so we can't be careless. So I was thinking, how about you take a look at it for me and offer some advice?"
"Of course, if you think it's okay, we can cooperate on this project. After all, you've always had good vision, and I'm very confident in your work."
Upon hearing this, Xu Nanzhi knew what Zhou Fang was planning and sneered, "Are you also planning to say that if I'm also interested and want to work together, I'll take the lead in the subsequent procedures. This way, it will save you a lot of trouble?"
In one sentence, Xu Nanzhi directly told Zhou Fang all his little tricks.
Zhou Fang on the other side only smiled awkwardly: "Oh, Nanzhi, you are really smart. I just said this and you understood what I meant. You are really my most beloved little cousin."
Then, with a hint of tentativeness, he said, "Do you agree?"
Rolling his eyes, Xu Nanzhi said, "Zhou Fang, you're really smart in this little calculation."
Zhou Fang said flatteringly, "Zizi, we're all family, why are you talking about two sides? If this project works, it will definitely be very profitable. I tell you, if we do it well, this one project alone can make us two years' worth of profit."
"Just think of it as doing your cousin a favor. I'll transfer Xu's shares to you when I get back."
Xu Nanzhi sneered directly: "Zhou Fang, what you said is simply a scam. The shares of Xu's were originally given to me, but I just never went through the formalities. You are really good at calculating."
This made Zhou Fang embarrassed: "Oh, then what are your conditions? I don't have anything you would consider good. Only the shares of Xu's are pretty good."
Xu Nanzhi didn't really want Zhou Fang to produce anything, but just said so. Hearing him say so, Xu Nanzhi sighed: "Oh, okay, stop being so pitiful. Send me a copy of the project book and other materials, and I'll take a look when I have time."
"Come on, I knew my little cousin is the most reliable." Xu Nanzhi let out a sigh of relief, and Zhou Fang's excited voice almost overflowed the screen.
He shook his head helplessly. This was why Xu Nanzhi had been abroad for five years and had cut off contact with everyone except Zhou Fang.
This guy is too clingy. When he found out that Xu Nanzhi was thinking of going abroad, he started throwing a tantrum and pretending to be pitiful. Xu Nanzhi had no choice but to tell him her address.
However, this is not the end. After Zhou Fang took over the family company, he would come to her whenever there was a problem that could not be solved, under the pretext that Xu Nanzhi was saving a young man who was about to be punished by the family.
As time went by, the two became closer and closer, and Zhou Fang was able to stand on his own.
In fact, many times, Zhou Fang was not incapable of doing so, but was just looking for her on purpose, and Xu Nanzhi knew it.
Thinking about what happened before, Xu Nanzhi couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"When do you need a reply at the latest? I'm a bit busy lately, so I might not be able to reply quickly."
After hearing what Xu Nanzhi said, Zhou Fang replied, "It's okay, no rush. Just give me a reply in a few days. I'll stay for a while and do a thorough investigation."
"Okay, I'll tell you after I take a look. If the project is really good, I'll send someone over directly to work with you."
Xu Nanzhi's words were exactly what Zhou Fang meant: "After it's so good, that's what I mean."
