Chapter 506 Is He Really That Good?
The next morning, Jiang Mozhou came to Jiang's to attend the monthly shareholders' meeting.
After the meeting, Jiang Mozhou and Jiang Budu returned to the office together.
As soon as the two brothers sat down, Jiang Mozhou's phone rang - he took out his phone, saw an unfamiliar number, and picked up the phone in front of Jiang Budu.
Jiang Mozhou: "Hello, who are you?"
"Mr. Jiang, I'm Shi Chen from PE." A male voice came from the receiver. "We met yesterday."
After hearing the self-introduction, Jiang Mozhou looked up at Jiang Budu across from him and said, "It's Mr. Shi. Good morning."
When Jiang Budu heard the words "Mr. Shi", he exchanged glances with Jiang Mozhou.
He walked around the coffee table and sat down next to Jiang Mozhou, listening carefully to their conversation.
The office was silent, and Jiang Budu could clearly hear Shi Chen's voice in the receiver.
He said, "Mr. Jiang, thank you Hengyuan for choosing PE among so many other companies. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
Jiang Budu frowned and tightened his fist unconsciously.
Jiang Mozhou glanced at Jiang Budu's expression and replied calmly, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Mr. Shi."
"I'll ask Mr. Liu to sign the contract next week. He's the main person in charge of this project," Jiang Mozhou said.
Shi Chen: "Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Liu to contact me."
"By the way, Mr. Jiang." Shi Chen changed the subject, "You won't go back on your word yesterday, will you?"
Jiang Mozhou was such a smart man that he immediately realized that Shi Chen was not talking about the interest clause in the contract, but about Tang Qing.
"Don't worry, he never asks about Hengyuan's projects." Jiang Mozhou said.
Shi Chen: "Okay, thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Mozhou: "It's a pleasure working with you. See you next week."
Shi Chen: "See you next week, I won't bother you anymore."
Jiang Budu just sat there, listening to the two of them finish their phone call. When he saw Jiang Mozhou put down his phone, Jiang Budu spoke up, "Did he agree?"
Jiang Mozhou: "This cooperation will only benefit PE and not cause any harm. There is no reason for him to refuse."
Jiang Budu: "But Tang Qing's side——"
Tang Qing's attitude that day was so clear. She didn't want him to cooperate with Shi Chen at all, and she didn't want him to disturb her life anymore. Now that Shi Chen has agreed to cooperate, won't Tang Qing be upset again when she knows it?
"Since he agreed, it means he has already asked Tang Qing for his opinion." Jiang Mozhou looked at Jiang Budu helplessly: "Why are you getting more and more confused recently? You can't even understand such a simple truth."
Jiang Budu: "Tang Qing is thinking about his work, so he will definitely not tell him his true thoughts. I don't believe he can't guess that Tang Qing wants to draw a clear line between us. I don't think he loves Tang Qing that much."
"Alright." Jiang Mozhou rubbed his brows. "Listen to what you're saying now. You're in your thirties. Weighing the pros and cons, how many people do you think would give up their careers for love? Besides, PE isn't something he has the final say on alone."
Jiang Budu: "But he is making Tang Qing feel wronged."
Jiang Mozhou: "If you care so much about whether she's been wronged, what were you doing before?"
Jiang Budu was choked by Jiang Mozhou and was speechless.
Jiang Mozhou: "This decision must have been made after the two of them discussed it. Tang Qing doesn't want to have anything to do with you, but she won't be so willful as to let Shi Chen give up this great opportunity because of this."
Jiang Budu was silent for a long time, and was made much more rational by Jiang Mozhou's words. Indeed, if it were him, he would not give up such a good opportunity. Career opportunities cannot be returned once missed, and he has always been decisive and ruthless in this regard.
Unexpectedly, I have now become the confused person that I once despised the most.
"PE has a good prospect, and Shi Chen's work ability is quite outstanding. Even if you hadn't acted as a matchmaker this time, I would have sought cooperation with them in the future." Jiang Mozhou spoke highly of Shi Chen.
Although Jiang Mozhou has an easygoing personality, he has always had very high standards. Jiang Budu rarely sees him speak so highly of anyone, and now the object is Shi Chen, which makes him feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Budu said sarcastically, "You quite admire him."
"Indeed." Jiang Mozhou readily admitted, speaking frankly, "If you had the same family background, his development wouldn't be any worse than yours."
Jiang Budu's expression became increasingly ugly.
Jiang Mozhou noticed the change in his expression and chuckled, "Unhappy?"
Jiang Budu: "Your elbow is ridiculous."
Jiang Mozhou: "Just telling the truth."
He pointed out Jiang Budu's problem directly: "No one dared to compete with you for women before. You have no sense of competition and have never met an opponent, so you panicked."
Jiang Budu couldn't refute this, so he just asked unconvincedly, "Is he really that good?"
Jiang Budu had never dealt with Shi Chen before. Although he had investigated him and knew that he had a good reputation, and had met him a few times, they had only met once and had never spoken.
"You're hostile to him, so of course you can't make an objective assessment." Jiang Mozhou recalled yesterday's conversation. "He's a good person, gentle and polite, capable, and good-looking."
Jiang Budu: "I'm better looking than him, right?"
Jiang Mozhou held his forehead. It was already this late, and he was still fussing about this. "Just being good-looking is useless."
Jiang Budu: "When will you sign the contract?"
Jiang Mozhou said to him seriously, "I promised PE that I won't let you interfere with this cooperation. Don't mess around."
Jiang Budu: "Don't worry, I won't interfere. I'm just asking casually."
Jiang Mozhou: "You'd better be."
Jiang Budu: "I'm just curious, what made him so captivating to Tang Qing? You all describe him as so perfect, I just don't believe he really has no problems at all."
Jiang Mozhou: "So what if there is?"
"You're really confused." Jiang Mozhou patted his shoulder. "Do you think that if he has problems, Tang Qing will come back to you?"
"Even if it's not Shi Chen, it will be another man. She has many options. It's not just a choice between you and Shi Chen."
Jiang Mozhou's words were full of wisdom, and they just exposed Jiang Budu's thoughts. Jiang Budu's face became even uglier. He held his breath for a long time and then let out a long sigh.
——
After a week's work, on Saturday, Tang Qing slept until nine o'clock before getting up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the latest message he received on WeChat.
There are Shi Chen’s and Gu Zhongzhou’s.
Shi Chen told Tang Qing about today's schedule, and Tang Qing sent him an emoticon: [Good morning, I just woke up.]
Afterwards, Tang Qing went to talk to Gu Zhongzhou about today's plan.
Gu Zhongzhou: [I will take you to the restaurant at 4 pm. The seat is A04, next to the window. You can see it as soon as you come in.]
Tang Qing: [No problem, I'll bring the person over to you at 4:15.]
Gu Zhongzhou: [Then it’s up to you.]
Tang Qing: [[OK], Song Yi and I, the wingman, will definitely complete the mission successfully.]
