He felt both relieved and a little melancholy when he saw Ning Nanxue's growing confidence and success.
Fortunately, Ning Nanxue finally walked out of the shadow of the past and became stronger and more dazzling.
What's sad is that he still hides his true self. This hiding is like an invisible barrier between them.
Fu Chen of Fu Group frowned tightly.
The contradictions in Jiang Tingchen are like a fog. He clearly appears to be just an ordinary successful businessman.
But it is totally unreasonable that they can easily shake up online public opinion and have such influence within Huayun Group.
If it wasn't him, who was behind Ning Nanxue? Since he was so concerned about her news, how could he not know what was behind her?
The more Fu Chen thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He needed to go and test Jiang Tingchen in person. Fu Chen picked up his phone and dialed Jiang Tingchen.
The call was quickly connected, and Jiang Tingchen's gentle voice came: "Hello, Mr. Fu."
Fu Chen suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and tried his best to make his voice sound calm.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I'm Fu Chen."
"Excuse me for interrupting. I wanted to ask Mr. Jiang out for a chat. Are you free?"
Jiang Tingchen's voice was still gentle, without any emotion.
"I'm honored to be invited by President Fu. What would you like to discuss?"
Fu Chen paused for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Regarding business cooperation, the Fu Group has a new project recently and I would like to hear Mr. Jiang's opinion."
"Business cooperation?" Jiang Tingchen chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Boss Fu thinks highly of me, so I'm naturally willing to serve."
"Then let's set it for tomorrow afternoon at the Genting Club in the east of the city. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?" Fu Chen asked tentatively.
"No problem, we'll be at Genting Club tomorrow afternoon, looking forward to your visit, Mr. Fu." Jiang Tingchen agreed readily.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Chen's face became even gloomier.
Business cooperation is just an excuse.
His real purpose was to test Jiang Tingchen's true background during the meeting.
And what is the relationship between him and Ning Nanxue.
Jiang Tingchen put down his phone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
He had already guessed Fu Chen's intention.
Asking him to discuss "business cooperation" was just an opportunity to test him.
I want to find out his relationship with Ning Nanxue and his role in Huayun Group.
Okay.
Since Fu Chen wanted to play, he would play with him and take this opportunity to reveal some information appropriately.
Let Fu Chen know that he, Jiang Tingchen, is not so easy to mess with.
Of course, the most important thing is to protect Xue'er and not let Fu Chen cause any more harm to her.
The next afternoon, Genting Club.
Fu Chen arrived early and waited for Jiang Tingchen in the box.
He sat on the sofa with a gloomy face and sharp eyes.
Information about Jiang Tingchen kept circling in my mind.
He always felt that Jiang Tingchen's identity was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
Soon, the door of the box was pushed open and Jiang Tingchen walked in.
He was still wearing a well-fitting casual suit, with a gentle smile on his face, and his every move exuded a calm and elegant temperament.
"Mr. Fu, sorry for the long wait." Jiang Tingchen smiled and extended his hand.
Fu Chen stood up, shook hands with Jiang Tingchen, and forced a smile on his face.
"Mr. Jiang, you are so polite. Please take a seat."
The two of them sat down and the waiter brought them tea. The atmosphere in the box was subtly calm for a moment.
Fu Chen was the first to break the silence and asked in a seemingly casual tone.
"Mr. Jiang has achieved such success in the business world at such a young age. It is truly admirable."
"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Jiang's family is in?"
Jiang Tingchen picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and looked indifferent.
"My family is just an ordinary businessman, and our business is not that big. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Fu."
"Oh? Really?" Fu Chen raised his eyebrows, his tone inquiring. "From what I know, Mr. Jiang seems to have a good relationship with Huayun Group?"
Jiang Tingchen put down the teacup and smiled.
"Huayun Group is a business giant. Who wouldn't want to have a good relationship with them?"
"I have always been paying close attention to the development of Huayun Group and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with them."
Fu Chen stared at Jiang Tingchen's eyes, trying to catch a flaw in his expression.
"Just attention and cooperation?" Fu Chen said meaningfully, "I heard that Mr. Jiang seems to be quite influential within Huayun Group."
Jiang Tingchen remained composed and spoke in a calm tone.
"Mr. Fu, you're joking. I'm just an ordinary businessman. Where does my influence come from?"
"Maybe there was some contact with Huayun Group on certain projects, which led to Mr. Fu's misunderstanding."
Fu Chen's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Jiang Tingchen's answer was flawless and did not give him any chance to take advantage of.
But the more he did this, the more Fu Chen felt that Jiang Tingchen was deliberately hiding something.
"Mr. Jiang is so modest." Fu Chen smiled, then changed his tone, "By the way, the recent cooperation between Ning Group and Huayun Group seems to be going very smoothly. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is also involved in it?"
When Jiang Tingchen heard this, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Fu Chen was finally going to get to the point.
"Mr. Ning is very capable, and the cooperation with Huayun Group will naturally go smoothly." Jiang Tingchen said gently, "I am just an outsider and not involved in it."
"Really?" Fu Chen's tone was filled with doubt. "But I heard that during the cooperation negotiations between Ning Group and Huayun Group, Mr. Jiang seemed to have given President Ning a lot of help. Even on some key decisions, the senior management of Huayun Group would seek Mr. Jiang's advice."
Jiang Tingchen smiled and said nothing: "Mr. Fu is really well-informed, but these are just rumors, don't take them seriously."
Fu Chen's expression became increasingly ugly.
Jiang Tingchen has been playing Tai Chi, avoiding the important issues and refusing to reveal any valuable information.
But the more he tried to cover up, the more it proved that his relationship with Huayun Group was by no means simple.
"Mr. Jiang is really cautious." Fu Chen said with a hint of sarcasm, "However, the business world is like a battlefield. Sometimes, being too cautious can lead to missed opportunities."
"Why don't you open your heart, Mr. Jiang, and be honest with me? Perhaps there will be more opportunities for cooperation between us."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tingchen looked up at Fu Chen with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"Cooperation? I'm here simply because we both have our own place in the market, and I don't want to make things too awkward."
"You humiliated Xue'er in front of me yesterday. How can I cooperate with you? What's more, you haven't said anything about humiliating Xue'er."
It was just a casual remark to try to build closer ties.
But after being refuted by Jiang Tingchen, he became very passive.
