After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lai kept looking at me stealthily.
I wondered, “Why are you looking at me?”
"You said, this investor Sister Li wants to introduce to us, isn't it my ex-husband?"
"That's impossible."
I shook my head and said, a little unsure, "Fu Qichuan just got out of the hospital. I haven't seen him mention this to Qin Ze these days."
"Who could that be?"
Jiang Lai became confused.
I couldn't guess, so I just said, "Since we have a dinner appointment, let's just go and see. Jiangcheng is so small, if it's someone we know, we won't be able to hide it."
"That makes sense."
Jiang Lai also agreed.
Later, I changed my clothes, grabbed a beige tweed coat, and went to the dinner with Jiang Lai.
The restaurant was booked by Jiang Lai. She had been in the marketing department for a long time and had a lot of experience in socializing.
Arriving at the restaurant, the waiter took us to a private room.
The private room is on the riverside, and you can look down at the river view from the table. The environment is elegant and stylish, and the dishes are authentic Jiangcheng cuisine.
Sister Li is already pregnant.
Sister Li warmly invited us to sit down and naturally started to inquire with Jiang Lai, "You are familiar with this person today, right? I have a big project and I really want to cooperate with them. You must help me speak to them later."
Jiang Lai asked directly, "Sister Li, is this the Fu family's group?"
"Fu?"
Sister Li frowned and glared at Jiang Lai, "Are you stupid? Didn't you and Miss Ruan both resign from Fu's? Would Fu's be so foolish as to support a brand and compete with its own F&A?"
It really isn’t the Fu family’s Xituan.
Then he is not Fu Qichuan.
I breathed a sigh of relief. If it was him, I would definitely have to refuse.
In this way, you miss another opportunity to be invested.
"I'm overthinking it."
Jiang Lai naturally wouldn't bring up the little things that happened between me and Fu Qichuan. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then tell me the truth first. Which company is it?"
Sister Li was also very open, "Have you heard of RF Group, which just went public on the New York Stock Exchange last month?"
"RF?"
Jiang Lai was a little surprised. "Is it the RF Group that suddenly appeared in New York and became a huge conglomerate in just three weeks?"
After she said that, I was a little confused.
RF Group is said to be financially strong, and they easily created a business empire in their early twenties, but the real boss behind the scenes has never been revealed.
Sister Li nodded, "You didn't think about it, did you?"
"No way, you brought us such an awesome investor?"
Jiang Lai swallowed hard, "Isn't my restaurant a little under the radar? The ones coming today are from their…"
"CEO."
Sister Li interrupted with a smile, then praised, "However, you made a good choice in booking this restaurant. He's lived abroad for a few days, and it seems like he just returned home a few days ago. He must miss the old taste of Jiangcheng."
After knowing the other party's background, Jiang Lai and I both felt a little unsure.
I shook Jiang Lai's hand and said, "It's okay. Since they've read our profile and agreed to this dinner, they must have noticed something about us."
Although RF group is out of reach, it is not impossible to give it a try.
What if the blind cat catches a dead mouse?
Even if it fails, it's no loss.
After a while, the waiter's voice came from outside: "Excuse me, this way please."
Then, the door of the private room was pushed open. Besides the waiter, there stood a young man at the door. He was very tall and looked to be under 30 years old. His facial features were deep and distinct, and he looked a bit mixed-race.
He was very polite. Seeing that the three of us were already asleep, he bowed slightly and said, "Sorry, I haven't been back for so long. I underestimated the evening rush hour in Jiangcheng."
"It's okay, it's a blessing that you can come!"
Sister Li stood up and introduced Jiang Lai and me, "This is the executive president of RF Group, Cen Ye, President Cen."
I thought that since he was in a high position, he would be a bit arrogant, but I didn't expect him to be so approachable.
He even offered to refill our drinks.
Jiang Lai and I were both a little bewildered. He put down his sobering cane and continued, "Investment is fine, but we at RF will definitely have a significant stake. Are you two mentally prepared?"
"have."
I nodded.
I have also learned about some investment cases before, and in the end, not many shares ended up in the hands of the founders.
However, since I don’t have the funds, this is the only way.
Jiang Lai is good at negotiation. He said with a smile, "Boss Cen, we are all from Jiangcheng. No matter what you say, you have to leave some food for us."
"Miss Jiang is joking."
Cen Ye is quite talkative, and when he talks about work, he seems a bit steady which is inconsistent with his age.
"We will be the sole investor, only requiring 51%. The only caveat is that no matter how Nancy develops in the future, any investment from other sources will require RF's approval."
Fifty-one.
Less than I expected.
However, this number is subtle enough for us to give up our voice and decision-making power.
Jiang Lai also thought about this, "The company's management and decision-making at that time..."
"We won't interfere."
Cen Ye promised.
These words are like a reassurance to us.
Shares and decision-making are the two most important things to discuss, and the rest are even easier to discuss.
Everything went smoothly and exceeded our expectations. We just had to go home and wait for RF to issue the contract.
On the way back to Dong, Jiang Lai leaned on my shoulder while the designated driver drove the car. "Do you think we've hit the jackpot?"
"possible?"
I always feel like something is wrong.
I replayed the scenes in the restaurant in my mind, and finally it suddenly realized that something was wrong.
That Cen Ye seems a little familiar to me.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember where I had seen it before.
Jiang Lai listened and poked my head. "Are you stupid? When RF was launched last month, his pictures were everywhere. It's normal that you have seen them."
Hearing this, I felt relieved.
The designated driver first drove to the downstairs of my house, and only after I got off the car did he take Jiang Lai home.
As I exited the elevator, I ran into Zhou Fang who had just opened the door. Hearing the sound of the elevator, he subconsciously turned around and glanced, his eyebrows slightly raised. "Have you been drinking?"
"Um."
I nodded my confused head, thinking about something, and suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
Then, she turned around and went back into the house, took out the dress that had been dry-cleaned and re-dressed, and handed it to him.
"I'll return the dress to you."
"What do you mean?"
He leaned against the door frame and looked at me casually, as if he was looking at a drunkard.
I smiled at him and said, "It's the dress you asked me to wear to the dinner party last time. I've cleaned it and am returning it to you now. I wanted to return it a while ago, but I never got around to it. Plus, something unexpected happened a few days ago and I couldn't come back."
Zhou Fang asked in an ambiguous tone, "Have you taken care of Fu Qichuan?"
