Meet
"Hey sister, yes, it's me, Xiaofang. What's up?"
"Oh, let's meet up with them for dinner, right? Okay, okay, sure, no problem. That's definitely possible. I'm free, so you can set the date."
"It's okay, it's no big deal. If you ask me, I'll definitely agree. It's just a meal."
"Hahahaha, hahaha. Well, we haven't seen each other for a long time, not since Chinese New Year. I'll treat you to a few meals when I have time."
Fang Ruoyan was sitting on the sofa and talking on the phone, with a happy and gentle expression on her face, an expression she would only have towards her closest relatives. From her conversation and her expressions and actions, it can be seen that the relationship between the sisters is really good.
There was another person in this small room. This person could vaguely hear the gentle voice of the person on the other end of the microphone, "Okay, when are you going to invite me? I always have time. I was just worried that you wouldn't..."
Fang Ruoyan laughed heartily a few times and said with a hearty smile: "How could that be, sister? I've been thinking about treating you to a meal. I felt that you had been worrying about Xiaowen's life event and had no time. If his life event is resolved, we sisters should have a good meal together. As his aunt, I can help him take care of it first, right?"
Fang Ruoyan and her sister talked for a few more paragraphs, and finally Fang Ruoyan said she had something to do and hung up the phone first.
"Then let's stop here for now and talk about it next time."
As soon as Fang Ruoyan hung up the phone, the expression on her face changed, and she was completely different from the gentle and affectionate person just now.
Fang Ruoyan's companion shouldn't have made any movement at all. He waited nervously for Fang Ruoyan's next reaction. Sure enough, she let out a loud shout the next second.
"Fuck him!"
Three seconds later, Fang Ruoyan stood up and threw the microphone in her hand hard. After a loud bang, the microphone immediately turned into a pile of broken parts. However, the second person in the room did not dare to speak out to stop her. This pile of telephone parts worth more than 3,000 yuan was broken into pieces. She hoped that smashing this thing would help Fang Ruoyan regain her composure. This was the only value of this newly installed phone.
Fang Ruoyan was not satisfied with just smashing the phone, and immediately went to look for other things on the table, such as glasses, airplane ornaments, videotapes, TV remote controls, and all kinds of odds and ends. As long as they were still on the coffee table, they would become Fang Ruoyan's dead souls.
There was a sudden crackling sound in the small room.
The other person held his breath for a long time. About ten minutes later, Fang Ruoyan threw everything on the coffee table all over. Only then did she regain her composure and sit back on the sofa, panting.
Fang Ruoyan was gasping for breath, and her companion finally had the courage to step forward and speak.
"Sister Fang, what on earth happened to you? Please don't be angry. Being too angry is not good for your health. It's good for you to make others angry. Don't get too angry yourself. Otherwise, if you have any minor health problems in the future, it will be an advantage for your opponent. It's not worth it."
It was a man's voice that spoke, clear and generous. Looking at his age, he was still a student!
Han Xiong has been with Fang Ruoyan for several months. He knows a little about Fang Ruoyan's personality. Although she is moody and you can't tell whether her next words will be a compliment or a scolding to you, there is one thing Han Xiong is sure of now, that is, Fang Ruoyan has a bad temper when she is angry, but she will be fine after she vents. As long as you follow her wishes and be gentle and considerate, Fang Ruoyan is still easy to coax.
As expected, after hearing Han Xiong's gentle words of comfort, Fang Ruoyan was no longer so angry. She stretched out her arm and put it around Han Xiong's shoulders, letting him lean on her shoulders, and said jokingly: "Okay, okay, okay, okay, don't be angry, don't be angry. With Xiao Han's comfort, how could I still be angry!"
Han Xiong clearly knew his position. He was just a little toy used by Fang Ruoyan to satisfy her cravings. Fang Ruoyan said so, but he did not dare to slack off or take advantage of the situation. Now, after hearing his words, he could only say humbly: "Sister Fang, please stop joking. Regardless of whether my comfort worked or not, you should always listen to what is good for you. Being angry too much is indeed bad for your health. I only said that because I am worried about your health, Sister Fang."
Fang Ruoyan was indeed much happier after hearing Han Xiong's answer. She sighed deeply and patted Han Xiong's head in appreciation.
Han Xiong's face immediately turned bad. What man would like to be patted on the head like a kitten or puppy?
But he also knew very well that to Fang Ruoying, he was just a pet like a kitten or a puppy, and was not even much better than them.
Therefore, Han Xiong did not dare to show his dissatisfaction, but buried his head deeper, not wanting Fang Ruoyan to see the ferocious expression on his face.
Han Xiong leaned on Fang Ruoyan's shoulder for several minutes. After waiting for a while, he slowly noticed that Fang Ruoyan's mood had calmed down and she was completely calm again. She was no longer breathing heavily. Then he asked carefully: "Sister Fang, what happened? Why are you so angry? Tell me. If there is anything, it will be much better if you tell me. I can also give you some advice, right?"
Fang Ruoyan immediately sneered, "Humph, what else could it be? It's just that pile of mud. Now the only obstacle in front of me is Shen Ya."
When Han Xiong heard the word "Shen Ya", his eyes moved immediately and he immediately understood the whole story. He had to find a way to pretend that he knew something casually and reveal it to Fang Ruoyan.
Han Xiong suddenly raised his head and pretended to think. He muttered as he thought, "Shen Ya? Why do these two words, Shen Ya, sound so familiar to me? I must have heard them somewhere else!"
Fang Ruoyan was originally frightened by his sudden movement of raising his head and was a little dissatisfied, but after hearing Han Xiong's words, she immediately asked: "Where have you heard the remaining two words? Then think about it quickly, what is going on!"
Han Xiong pretended to think for a moment before suddenly realizing something. He clapped his hands and said to Fang Ruoyan in surprise, "I remember now. Boss Shenya's child, the future heir to this clothing store, is attending our school!"
Fang Ruoyan, however, showed little interest. "Hey, I thought it was something else, but it turns out to be just this. Boss Shenya's daughter, the one doing the business is Boss Shenya, what use can his daughter be?"
Fang Ruoyan immediately became unhappy when she mentioned Shen Ya's boss. "I don't know how the Shen Ya boss knew my sister, and he even got in touch with Xiao Qi to arrange a dinner with me! If my sister hadn't been mediating, I wouldn't even want to eat with them!"
It's so annoying. The boss of Shen Ya specially arranged this meal with me. How could I not know what he meant?
As soon as Fang Ruoyan thought about the recent piracy incident, she immediately understood the purpose of this meal. Wasn't it just to make her stop copying Shen Ya's clothes?
How is that possible? From a business perspective, if her sister is the boss of Shen Ya, then it's possible for her to quit. But what about the boss of Shen Ya, Jian Yangping? She doesn't even know him. He's not even remotely related to her, and she wants her to quit? You're kidding!
Not to mention that the employee and Qi Wenxiu are boyfriend and girlfriend, this is not even a certainty at all. Even if they really become a family, she still needs to think carefully about it.
Did Shen Ya and his gang really think that just by establishing a relationship like this and having a meal with me, they could resolve this matter? After all these years of doing business, they really couldn't be so naive, could they? No way, no way?
Han Xiong's face turned ugly again after hearing Fang Ruoyan's denial. He was the only son in the family and had been raised surrounded and praised by his family since he was a child. His self-esteem was extremely strong.
Although he has decided to be with a rich woman and be subservient to Fang Ruoyan from now on, how can he easily change the personality that has been formed over the years?
Just as Han Xiong was gritting his teeth, imagining how he would stay with Fang Ruoyan for a long time and then take over all her business, he heard Fang Ruoyan ask him, "By the way, since you said that the boss of Shen Ya's children are studying in your school, do you have any contact with them?"
Han Xiong hesitated and said, "Actually, I'm not familiar with them. His daughter is in her first year of high school, and his son is in his second year. They're not in the same grade as me, so we can't be in the same class. I just vaguely heard of their names."
Fang Ruoyan immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Ah, I'm not familiar with you. Then you're really useless!"
Han Xiong clenched his fists, but what could he do? He was angry but couldn't say anything. After all, one has to bow down under someone else's eaves. His future depended on Fang Ruoyan, whose words could determine his future.
The small room returned to silence. Fang Ruoyan didn't speak, so Han Xiong had to hold his breath and wait for her next words.
Fang Ruoyan reached into her pocket and took out a cigarette, lit it and held it in her hand without smoking. Han Xiong was allergic to the smell of cigarettes and sneezed accidentally but didn't dare to ask Fang Ruoyan to put it out.
Fang Ruoyan held the lit cigarette like that for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking. After a few minutes, she came back to her senses as if awakening from a dream, and said to Han Xiong lightly, "By the way, come with me to dinner tonight."
Han Xiong was shocked and pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me? I'll go with you?"
Fang Ruoyan nodded impatiently, "You, that's you. You come with me. Didn't you say you know the boss's kids? Then you can build some rapport with them at the dinner table. I don't have to worry about things getting too ugly."
Moreover, since they have arranged a dinner, Shen Ya's boss must show up, and his wife and children may also have to show up. If she is alone here, she will seem lonely, and won't it make the other side seem more powerful?
Han Xiong nodded. Originally, he was with Fang Ruoyan because he thought that as a woman who owned such a large factory, she must have a lot of resources at her disposal. She didn't need to reveal much. Just a little bit through her fingers would be enough for him to enjoy for a long time, and he wouldn't have to worry about his next life.
But unexpectedly, this woman is too guarded. The relationship between the two of them is now confirmed. Fang Ruoyan will also call herself her boyfriend in front of her subordinates, but she can give money or buy small gifts, but she will keep all other connections and sources of goods secret from Han Xiong and will not tell him a word.
Han Xiong hadn't expected that everything he had dreamed of might just begin tonight. But then he thought about what had happened between him and Jian Jianan, and he became a little uncertain. He didn't know if anything would go wrong when he met Jian Jianan. Otherwise, he might as well not go to the dinner this time...
"Actually, I'm not very familiar with them..."
Fang Ruoyan was getting impatient: "Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Han Xiong lowered his brows and said, "Okay..."
Fang Ruoyan's words could not be refuted. In that case, she would have no choice but to go through this journey, no matter if it was a mountain of swords or a sea of fire.
Jian Jianan didn't know about Han Xiong and Fang Ruoyan's plan, but she was now making intensive preparations because her family had just learned that Fang Ruoyan agreed to meet her.
Jian Jianan was whispering to Deng Bitong, "Sister Tongtong, Sister Tongtong, have you found out more about Fang Ruoyan from your brother-in-law?"
More than 90% of all the pirated Shen Ya brand clothing on the market comes from Fang Ruoyan’s Yanran Garment Factory.
Moreover, Fang Ruoyan doesn't just focus on the Shen Ya brand of clothing to make a profit, she also copies whatever brand is popular.
For example, last year’s jeans and the health pants from the year before both have the traces of Fang Ruoyan Yanran Garment Factory.
Therefore, from the perspective of the clothing industry, Shen Ya, which has only been established for a few months, is definitely no match for Yanran Garment Factory. Jian Jianan adheres to the principle of "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles", so he needs to know more about Yanran Garment Factory.
Deng Bitong was speechless, "Why are you calling him brother-in-law when he's not even here?"
Isn't calling Qi Wenxiu brother-in-law just a temporary expedient? Are you addicted to calling him that?
Jian Jianan chuckled and said seriously, "Sister Tongtong, why do you think so? What's the point of making an expedient or not? I really mean it when I call you brother-in-law. Even if Brother Wenxiu didn't tell me about Fang Ruoyan, he is still my brother-in-law!"
Deng Bitong didn't want to play word games with Jian Jianan anymore, because she knew that Jian Jianan was very eloquent and she would never be able to beat him no matter what she said to her.
Deng Bitong said angrily, "That's all. What else can he say to me? Didn't he tell us everything he could say that afternoon? We were all there to hear it."
Jian Jianan shook her head and even raised her finger. "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I'm not saying that Qi Wenxiu hasn't told us something or is hiding something from us. What I meant is that Qi Wenxiu and Fang Ruoyan are cousins after all. They've been together for so long, and maybe there are things that Qi Wenxiu hasn't noticed because she's been with him for so long. I just want him to tell us more and more about everything so that we can discover some small things that may seem insignificant now but may have a decisive impact on the development of the situation."
Deng Bitong nodded. So that's how it was. "But our two families are going to meet today, and Qi Wenxiu has gone home. Even if you catch him now, it's too late."
Jian Jianan tilted his head. "So, Sister Tongtong, we're relying on you now. Think about it carefully. Did Brother Wenxiu reveal any information when you were communicating with him?"
Deng Bitong racked her brains but couldn't figure out what news she had missed.
Jian Jianan continued to stare at her with sparkling eyes, "Really? Really? Sister Tongtong, just think about it carefully!"
Under Jian Jianan's expectant gaze, Deng Bitong finally uttered a few words: "Old Qi seemed to have said...said..."
"What did you say?"
"Fang Ruoyan's private life is a bit chaotic, so I hope it doesn't feel too strange when we meet."
Jian Jianan was very curious. What kind of chaos was in her private life? Even at this point, Jian Jianan still had only a vague understanding of the phrase, because if she remembered correctly, Qi Wenxiu had said the same thing to herself, Jian Yangping, and the other two that afternoon.
It was not until she entered the Nanbei Hotel and saw Fang Ruoyan that she understood why Qi Wenxiu said this and why his facial expression was so strange when he said this.
The dinner for the evening was booked at the Nanbei Hotel.
Yes, you heard it right. The two families said on the surface that they were getting to know each other, but in reality it was a negotiation dinner that both parties were well aware of, and it was actually arranged in one party's property.
Jian Jianan was very surprised when he first heard the news. Logically speaking, in order to avoid suspicion and just in case, this kind of negotiation dinner should be arranged by a third party.
Just like the dinner party hosted by Guanshan that they had attended before, the location of the dinner that day was decided by Guanshan. He chose a third party, which had no connection with either Jinhuiju or Nanbei Hotel.
This is normal in Jian Jianan's opinion.
But Fang Ruoyan's reason was very strange. She said, "I've already agreed to go to the dinner, so I won't be asked to pay, will I? Isn't the North-South Hotel their family business? Just arrange it there, and put it on the boss's account without having to spend any money. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
When Jian Jianan heard what the middleman said, he felt amused. It seemed that Fang Ruoyan was quite resentful towards them. But that was also true. She would be unhappy if anyone wanted to threaten her relatives just to see them.
However, after hearing these words, Jian Jianan's impression of Fang Ruoyan was further deepened: she was very stingy.
In this way, Jian Jianan's portrait of Fang Ruoyan was further improved.
Only two people from Jian Jianan's side showed up. She, her father Jian Yangping, and her mother Su Qinxuan originally wanted to come, but Jian Yangping advised her to just stay at the rear and he would take care of everything here.
As for my brother Jian Jiabei, he wanted to come, but...
But everyone stopped him in unison.
"I'll go with you too. I'll be there to help you!"
"No, no, you are the biggest help to us at home!"
"……All right."
Just like that, with Qi Wenxiu and Fang Ruoyan's three people coming, and Jian Jianan's Deng Bitong coming, there were a total of three people. At least in terms of number, they were exactly the same.
Jian Jianan frowned as she sat in her seat. Why hadn't Fang Ruoyan come yet? She looked at her watch. It was already very late. Could she be late? Thinking of the worse case scenario, could she simply not come?
Finally, just before the agreed time, Deng Bitong arrived late.
Following behind her was Qi Wenxiu.
Qi Wenxiu originally wanted to sit with his girlfriend at Deng Bitong's side, which was Jian Jianan's side, but was stopped by Deng Bitong. She pointed to the opposite side and motioned Qi Wenxiu to sit there.
Fang Ruoyan is your aunt, why are you sitting here with me?
Qi Wenxiu gave his girlfriend a resentful look, but she didn't even look back at him, so he had no choice but to sit over there reluctantly.
Jian Jianan looked at Deng Bitong jokingly, "Sister Tongtong, you are really heartless. Your boyfriend looks like he is in Cao's camp but his heart is with Han, but you can still harden your heart and ignore him. You should be awarded the medal for sacrificing your own family for the sake of justice!"
Of course Deng Bitong did it on purpose. She also noticed Qi Wenxiu's gaze looking at her, but she turned her head and pretended not to see it. Didn't she see Fang Ruoyan sitting right opposite her?
The enemy was lurking ahead, and her boyfriend's resentful eyes were still vivid in her mind. Deng Bitong sat upright, her expression unchanged. The situation was so urgent, how could this be the time to talk about love affairs?
The smile on Jian Jianan's face only lasted for a few seconds, and then disappeared completely when he saw the person who followed Fang Ruoyan in.
How could it be him... ?
Fang Ruoyan's current male companion is actually Han Xiong?
Jian Jianan couldn't help but think of what Qi Wenxiu had just said yesterday. He did reveal some information about Fang Ruoyan, that Fang Ruoyan would spend some money in society to support various little boys.
It seems that Han Xiong has been Fang Ruoyan's sponsor during this period.
Tsk tsk tsk, I really can’t tell.
Although everyone talks about Han Xiong privately and speculates about his private life, you have to know that he has always pretended to be very good in school and is a representative of the "three good students" with good conduct in the eyes of his teachers and classmates.
If Jian Jianan hadn't had the chance to see Han Xiong being brought out by Fang Ruoyan as a male companion for socializing at a dinner party, he would never have guessed it.
Jian Jianan and Han Xiong looked at each other from a distance, separated by Fang Ruoyan and Jian Yangping who had stood up for business communication, and the waiters who had come over to serve the dishes. Then, they turned their heads in the other direction at the same time and stopped looking at each other.
There's no point in talking if you don't agree. They are not the same kind of people and definitely have nothing in common. It's better not to watch it.
Jian Yangping sat down, taking in the surroundings. As the host, he spoke first, "Excuse me, everyone, but I'm inviting you all to dinner at my Nanbei Restaurant today. My wife runs this restaurant, and while it may not be very well-known right now, the food is quite good. I'm definitely not speaking for it just because of my relationship with her. Many of the Nanbei Restaurant's delicious dishes have won awards in competitions. Feel free to try them today; no one who has eaten here has ever said they're bad."
Who wouldn't be happy to enjoy delicious food? Fang Ruoyan took over and thanked him, "Hahaha, really? Then thank you very much, Boss Jian, for treating us today. We will definitely enjoy the food."
With just one sentence, today's dinner was defined as being treated by Jian Yangping.
Jian Yangping was not angry either. He asked Fang Ruoyan to come over for dinner today because he had something to ask for. After all, they were still in a weak position.
So, Jian Yangping smiled and said nothing. After the waiter served the dishes, he acted like a most enthusiastic host, asking everyone to enjoy the food and then introducing the signature dishes of the Nanbei Hotel one by one.
Deng Bitong was a little anxious. Why were they still talking about food after talking for so long? Although the food today was indeed delicious, was it necessary to take so long to finish it?
Let’s get down to business!
Deng Bitong was so anxious that she wanted to interrupt Jian Yangping's conversation and rush to the center. In the end, Jian Jianan stopped her. She glanced at Sister Tongtong and signaled her with her eyes, "Don't be anxious, let's take it slow."
Deng Bitong lowered her voice, "Why are they still eating and drinking? Your dad is still telling them about the eighteen ways to cook roast goose. If you don't get to the point, I'm going to get sleepy!"
Jian Jianan also lowered his voice, "Sister Tongtong, you don't understand. This is a necessary means and skill in business negotiations. Don't talk about business at the beginning. Otherwise, others will easily see through your thoughts, and you will be in a passive position."
"If you want to take the initiative, it's best not to reveal yourself too much, right?"
Deng Bitong was suspicious: "Really?" Is there such a saying?
Jian Jianan nodded and gave her a very firm look in return.
Yes, you believe me!
Jian Yangping and Deng Bitong talked about delicious food, and suddenly the conversation fell silent. For a moment, neither of them thought of what to say next.
Fang Ruoyan was smart. She looked at Han Xiong, then at Jian Jianan, and found a topic.
"Hey, Boss Jian, isn't it a coincidence that this friend of mine happens to go to the same school as your daughter?"
Jian Yangping became interested, "What? There is such a thing?" Is it really such a coincidence?
In response to his father's inquiring look, Jian Jianan nodded to confirm his doubt.
However, there was one thing Jian Jianan did not tell his father on the spot because there were so many people present.
That was the previous confession blunder, and Han Xiong was the protagonist.
Jian Yangping was very surprised to see that Han Xiong was really his daughter's classmate, and quickly asked him to eat more.
Although, Jian Yangping felt very sorry that this person had gone astray at such a young age.
Fang Ruoyan introduced him as a friend, but anyone with eyes knows that Han Xiong is actually Fang Ruoyan's sponsor!
Jian Yangping sighed deeply in his heart, "Alas——"
"The world is truly going downhill and morally corrupt!"
"I've only heard that men with money would keep mistresses or something like that, but I didn't expect that women with money would also keep young men now. Oh, it's really true, oh."
“People’s hearts have changed!”
Han Xiong had no idea of what Jian Yangping was secretly complaining about. He just felt extremely nervous.
In fact, as soon as he came in and saw Jian Jianan, his heart was already in turmoil.
How could it be her!
The name Shen Ya has been mentioned countless times by Fang Ruoyan, and Han Xiong's ears are almost callused from hearing it. But Han Xiong didn't know that Jian Jianan was actually related to Shen Ya Clothing!
He only knew that Jian Jianan's family was in the catering industry, and he also heard from others that the children of the boss of Shen Ya were in his school, but he had never tried to connect the two things!
How come Jian Jianan's family owns both a restaurant and a clothing store? Are they so rich?
Otherwise, if he had known earlier, Han Xiong would have refused the invitation when Fang Ruoyan made the request and would not have come with her.
Now that’s good!
She found out!
It is not embarrassing to do bad things outside, but it is very embarrassing if you are caught doing bad things outside by an acquaintance.
Han Xiong's hands were grabbed by him. If he hadn't been with Fang Ruoyan for so long and had gradually learned some of her ability to hide her emotions, he would definitely be seen through as soon as they met.
Fang Ruoyan looked over with a smile, "Xiao Han, I heard that you and Jian Jianan were classmates? By the way, did you two know each other before?"
Han Xiong smiled calmly and shook his head. "Although we're in the same school, Experimental Middle School is so big, with thousands of people on campus. How can I possibly know everyone?"
Although Han Xiong pretended to be calm, his clenched palms still revealed some of his thoughts. He stared at Jian Jianan, afraid that her next sentence would be to admit the fact that they had known each other before and expose his lies.
Jian Jianan looked at Han Xiong quietly, as if she understood the pleading in his eyes. Her pupils were dark, and she stared at Han Xiong without blinking, making it impossible for him to read the look in Jian Jianan's eyes.
After being stared at like this for a while, Han Xiong's hair stood on end. He blinked and waited quietly for the hammer of his fate to fall.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Jian Jianan replied with a smile, "Yes, I just found out today that we go to the same school. Thank you, Aunt Fang, for introducing us to each other."
Jian Jianan was clearly just being polite, but Fang Ruoyan immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Hey! You're welcome! This is what I should do!"
However, what no one expected was that Jian Jianan's next sentence shocked everyone at the dinner table.
"Since we are so destined to meet, Aunt Fang, can you please give us a favor and stop making trouble for Shen Ya's clothes?"
Jian Jianan asked this question with a smile. No one would say bad words to a little girl with such a cute smile, at least Fang Ruoyan couldn't do that.
But how is this possible? Fang Ruoyan is a businessman, and businessmen value profits the most. Let alone if Jian Jianan came, even if her own nephew Qi Wenxiu came and personally begged her to let Shen Ya go, Fang Ruoyan would not agree.
But when Fang Ruoyan looked at Jian Jianan who was talking and laughing, she suddenly wanted to tease her instead of rejecting her coldly.
"certainly……"
Fang Ruoyan deliberately dragged out the last syllable, and when she said the last sentence, Jian Jianan's hope reached its peak, and she continued slowly.
"Of course not!"
Jian Jianan's face fell on the spot. She was eager to persuade the woman in front of her, "Why, why don't you agree, Sister Fang?"
Fang Ruoyan learned the name "Sister Fang" from Qi Wenxiu. She didn't like names like "Sister Yan" or "Sister Ruo" as she thought they were too strange. In addition, Fang Ruoyan called herself Xiaofang, so gradually people started calling her "Sister Fang".
Fang Ruoyan looked at the little girl in front of her for the first time tonight. She stared into Jian Jianan's eyes, and in a trance, she seemed to see herself ten years ago through these dark eyes.
How similar the two of them are!
But, but Jian Jianan's family is rich, his parents are loving, and his siblings are harmonious. How can they be the same as me, who grew up like a weed? The environments they grew up in are so different!
However, if someone looked into the eyes of both of them at the same time, they would find that their eyes were both burning with the same flames.
Maybe Jian Jianan is too young to understand it now, but Fang Ruoyan, who is more than ten years older than her, sees it clearly. This is the fire of ambition.
It's just that the little girl in front of him is still young and doesn't know how to use it. But even so, Jian Jianan has already followed his instincts and used slightly childish business skills to persuade others.
Fang Ruoyan originally just wanted to give face to Qi Wenxiu's mother, who was not her biological sister but was better than her biological sister, and have a meal with Shen Ya's people. She didn't have to eat the whole meal, just sitting here for half an hour would be enough, and then she could go home.
But unexpectedly, the seemingly ordinary dinner party had another secret. She had a hunch that the little girl Jian Jianan was her biggest surprise tonight!
However, a rising star’s road to success is not smooth sailing. She will definitely face various difficulties and hardships along the way.
Fang Ruoyan thought casually that she might as well be kind tonight and teach the little girl in front of her some other ways of dealing with people and things!
"Cooperation? What do you want to cooperate with me? What can we cooperate on?"
Fang Ruoyan was disdainful.
Jian Jianan was well prepared for this. "Our elegant tailoring and design are our biggest trump cards. Sister Fang, you have an independent garment factory over there, and the fabrics are always of excellent quality. We can both get what we need and reach a cooperation!"
Fang Ruoyan sneered upon hearing this and said mockingly, "Little girl, you're too naive. I'm not afraid of you knowing that since you, Shenya, can arrange a dinner with me, you must have investigated the fact that I'm the one behind it! But even if you figured it out, there's nothing you can do!"
"You just told me you want to cooperate, so I want to ask you, what are the benefits for me if I cooperate with you?"
Jian Jianan was about to answer Fang Ruoyan's question, but was interrupted by Fang Ruoyan with a wave of her hand.
Fang Ruoyan continued, "Little girl, I'm going to be kind today and tell you something. You said that if two parties want to cooperate, it must be a mutually satisfactory result, and both parties must have the same interests. But look at me now. You just said that I have an independent garment factory, with an independent production line from fabric to finished garments. I don't need to rely on anyone else to produce a piece of clothing independently. So why should I agree to cooperate with you?"
Fang Ruoyan is right. Although people should have morals, once you lose your morals, the more money you will make!
Fang Ruoyan is not a conscientious person. She now follows her own model, dismantling the clothes bought by Shen Ya, making patterns, producing them in her own garment factory, and selling them elsewhere. She can still make a lot of money. So why did she agree to this cooperation with Jian Jianan?
Fang Ruoyan's shamelessness really shocked Jian Jianan, making her forget her answer for a moment.
Fang Ruoyan was amused. Look, look, this young girl, who had always been well protected by her father and family, just couldn't stand being scared. Why did they hide her so deep inside the house? They should have taken Jian Jianan to a place like this to give her some experience!
Fang Ruoyan thought about it and felt that she was too gentle just now. Her words would not have any impact on Jian Jianan, and naturally would not have the effect of teaching him. So she continued, "Your clothes, although the styles are novel, are not irreplaceable. Don't you know that? Today, I am kindly giving you a piece of news for free. In the past six months, your Shen Ya clothing has attracted a lot of attention. Many people are jealous. I heard that they have also hired many master tailors from Hong Kong and are going to follow your path again. Even without my Yanran Garment Factory, I think Shen Ya will be in danger!"
Fang Ruoyan didn't want to continue the conversation. She stood up and was about to leave. After thinking for a moment, she turned back and said kindly to Jian Yangping, "Boss Jian, the educational policy you and President Su are using is a bit dangerous. I think your little girl is quite naive!"
To say she is innocent is childish. Don't think that Jian Jianan can't hear the hidden meaning in her words!
After Fang Ruoyan finished her last heartfelt words to Jian Yangping, she immediately turned around and left. When she left, she did not forget to ask someone to pack up the leftover food from the banquet at the Nanbei Hotel tonight and take it home.
She winked and asked Qi Wenqi to follow her out with the food.
You know what, Su Qinxuan's cooking is really good. The food at this Nanbei Restaurant is really delicious. I guess I can arrange to have dinner here in the future. I just don't know if I can get a discount from her because I know the owner here...
"Hey, aunt! Aunt, wait for me!" Qi Wenxiu did not come out immediately. He hesitated, looked at his girlfriend and then at Fang Ruoyan, and finally chased out at the signal of Deng Bitong with an expressionless face.
As soon as he caught up with Fang Ruoyan, he immediately poured out all his dissatisfaction, "Auntie, Auntie! How could you say that just now! Do you know that my girlfriend..."
"Of course I know. It was your mother who told me that your girlfriend was here. If it weren't for you two, I wouldn't be here today!"
Qi Wenxiu was a little sad. "Then why did you say that even though you knew that?"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this dinner was a failure. I wonder how sad Deng Bitong and the others must be when they return home.

As she walked away, she dropped another sentence from afar, "By the way, please remember not to tell your mother about this when you get home!"
Qi Wenxiu's question was carried by the wind to Fang Ruoyan's ears as she opened the car window to enjoy the fresh air. "Why, Auntie?"
Fang Ruoyan didn't answer. At this distance, even if she answered, Qi Wenxiu wouldn't be able to hear her, and she was too lazy to speak anymore.
Why? Of course, I'm worried that your mom will beat you up after hearing this! You ungrateful little brat!
Fang Ruoyan, Qi Wenxiu and Han Xiong left the scene, and Jian Jianan was finally able to complain to Deng Bitong.
Jian Jianan had only one thought, "Why is Fang Ruoyan like this? She's so ungrateful. Even after all our talk, she still won't agree to our request!"
After hearing what his daughter said, Jian Yangping's face rarely darkened.
"Nannan, you don't have the right idea!"
