”Ding-a-ling—”

As everyone was mocking Jiang Chen, Wang Yujiao’s phone suddenly rang. She took out her phone, glanced at it, and joyfully answered the call.

After hanging up, Wang Yujiao explained, ”I have a friend and her boyfriend who both work at The Four Seas. He is the deputy general manager of Sihai Investment and directly arranged for her to join The Four Seas as the manager of the external liaison department. Jing Yi, aren’t you worried about the situation with The Four Seas? So, I invited them over to see if they knew anything about it.”

Ye Jingyi was full of surprise, ”Really? That’s great! Since they’re both from Sihai Investment, they should know what’s going on.”

The deputy general manager of The Four Seas? And he got his girlfriend a managerial position in the company?

This piece of information sounded familiar to Jiang Chen. He blinked; could it be...

”Jiaojiao.”

As he was thinking, a calling voice came over, and a man and woman approached their booth.

Wang Yujiao hurriedly stood up, ”Jiayan, Wang Hui, you’re here! Please, have a seat.”

Jiang Chen looked up and was somewhat speechless. It really was those two. Heh, Jinhai really is small.

”Why did you choose such a place? It’s so noisy,” Chen Jiayan complained as she walked in, her expression arrogant. She didn’t even glance at Ye Jingyi and the others, and certainly did not notice Jiang Chen.

”Heh, Jiayan, don’t complain too much. You have to give your friend some face,” Wang Hui said, ostensibly trying to mediate the situation, but his tone and expression were even more arrogant than Chen Jiayan’s.

Ye Jingyi and the others didn’t say much, all rising to welcome Chen Jiayan and Wang Hui. They understood Chen Jiayan’s arrogance.

The deputy general manager and manager of Sihai Investment—it’s clear they’re not on the same level as them.

Jiang Chen was the only one who remained seated, grinning as he watched Wang Hui and Chen Jiayan show off.

Seeing this, Wang Yujiao got angry, ”Jiang Chen, why are you still sitting? Get up quickly.”

The other three women also glared at Jiang Chen.

It was so impolite. They all stood up to greet the guests, yet he sat there nonchalantly. Did he think he was some big shot?

However, when they heard the name Jiang Chen, Chen Jiayan and Wang Hui stiffened.

Upon glancing over at Jiang Chen’s seat, they caught sight of his smiling face. Both their expressions changed completely, and they began to tremble slightly.

Wang Yujiao thought Chen Jiayan and Wang Hui had fallen silent because they were angry, so she got even more fired up and was about to forcefully drag Jiang Chen to his feet.

But before she could take a step, Chen Jiayan, not caring about the tall heels she was wearing, hurried over to Jiang Chen and bowed deeply, ”Jiang...”

”Hmm?” Jiang Chen’s expression darkened, and he gave her a look.

Chen Jiayan instantly understood. Low-profile, huh? Mr. Jiang wanted to keep things low-key!

”Mr. Jiang.”

Chen Jiayan and Wang Hui, who had approached, exchanged glances and spoke in unison.

Mr. Jiang?

Lin Wan and the other women were bewildered. What the hell was going on? How did this freeloader suddenly become the esteemed Mr. Jiang?

Jiang Chen nodded with satisfaction and called out, ”Please, have a seat.”

Chen Jiayan and Wang Hui only dared to sit then. But they didn’t settle down fully, just perched on the edge of the sofa, ready to stand at any moment.

As soon as Wang Hui sat down, he began to shower with a rainbow of flattery, ”Oh my, I had no idea you were friends with Young Master Jiang. If I had known earlier, we could have gathered more often. Young Master Jiang is truly a rare gem. Being friends with Young Master Jiang, you’ve really hit the jackpot.”

Chen Jiayan wasn’t to be outdone, ”Back in school, I could tell that Jiang Chen wasn’t an average person. Yujiao, I had no idea you knew Jiang Chen. You’re really lucky.”

Lin Wan and the others were dumbfounded, not sure what to say. The over-the-top praise from Wang Hui made them unable to comprehend—was this really the Jiang Chen they knew?

Chen Jiayan turned to Wang Yujiao with enthusiasm, ”By the way, Yujiao, is there a reason you wanted to meet with us?”

Wang Yujiao snapped back to reality and pointed at Ye Jingyi, ”This is my best friend, President Ye Jingyi of Liying Cosmetics. Their company has received investment from The Four Seas, but Jingyi is unclear about the reason, so she wanted to ask if you knew anything about it.”

”Liying Cosmetics?!”

Wang Hui and his companion were taken aback, their gazes toward Ye Jingyi shifted.

So this beauty is Jiang Chen’s wife? They must ingratiate themselves at once!

Wang Hui perked up and started with a flurry of flattery, ”Oh my, I’ve long heard that Miss Ye, the president of Liying Cosmetics, is a famous beauty in Jinhai. Seeing you in person truly surpasses your reputation. Not only are you beautiful, Miss Ye, but you’ve also single-handedly held up Liying Cosmetics, turning it into a gold standard for beauty products in Jinhai. You truly are a paragon of ’women matching men for strength.’”

”Exactly, exactly, I used to think I was pretty, but seeing Miss Ye today, I’m truly ashamed,” Chen Jiayan looked at Ye Jingyi with eyes full of envy.

Ye Jingyi was stupefied; the praise from these two was just too exaggerated.

But everyone loves compliments, so their flattery made her cheeks red, and she modestly responded, ”Miss Chen is also very beautiful.”

”That... Jiayan,” Wang Yujiao became confused by Chen Jiayan and Wang Hui’s odd behavior, as if they were on some strange medication. Yet she couldn’t dare to blame them, and forcefully steered the conversation back, ”Do you know why The Four Seas invested in Liying Cosmetics?”

Wang Hui looked at Wang Yujiao with a surprised face. He’d only paid attention to the fact that Ye Jingyi was Jiang Chen’s wife and hadn’t listened carefully to Wang Yujiao’s question. When she asked again, he was somewhat baffled, ”You should ask Jiang Chen about this; he knows best.”

”Him?”

Wang Yujiao and the others looked at Jiang Chen with surprised expressions.

Could it be that what Jiang Chen said earlier was true, and all this really had to do with him?

Amidst everyone’s astonishment, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and spoke up, ”Actually, I didn’t do much. I just have a beauty formula, and I told Sihai Investment that I would give the formula to Liying, which led them to invest.”

A formula? What formula? Where did this formula come from?

Wang Hui and Chen Jiayan were shocked; they hadn’t heard of this at all.

”Ha! I knew it, how could you have possibly gotten The Four Seas to invest? So you’ve deceived people again?” Lin Wan couldn’t help but sneer, ”Jiang Chen, do you think your lies will never be exposed? And now, your audacity has only grown, daring to deceive The Four Seas? When The Four Seas comes looking for trouble, oh no, if they come after Liying Cosmetics, I’d like to see what you’ll do!”

Wang Yujiao also burst out angrily, ”Exactly, if The Four Seas comes after Liying Cosmetics, it’s Jing Yi who will be in trouble. What are you thinking?”

Wang Hui and his associate exchanged glances, unsure of what to say at the moment.

The truth was, there had been no news at Sihai Company about Liying Cosmetics having a beauty formula. This should have been reported to the company. But these words were Jiang Chen’s, and the investment had been approved by him. For any reason, it all depended on what came out of Jiang Chen’s mouth. Whatever he said it was, that’s what it would be.

Therefore, the two wisely chose silence.

But the silence from Wang Hui and his colleague terrified Ye Jingyi, who thought they were angry at Jiang Chen for deceiving The Four Seas. She became anxious instantly.
