Chapter 254 What's this kid up to?

The news that Xingchen Technology planned to export its beauty serum at the high price of 30,000 USD spread rapidly throughout major global business institutions and circles of the ultra-wealthy.

Although this price was jaw-droppingly high, the miraculous effects it had demonstrated domestically in the Dragon Kingdom, along with the massive profit potential behind it, still left countless people salivating.

However, those with the true confidence and strength to negotiate business at this level were by no means ordinary people.

They were either international beauty giants, top-tier agents with sky-high connections, or chaebol forces with massive markets and deep pockets.

That morning, Jiang Jing rarely came to the Xingchen Technology building together with Li Ruonan.

Li Ruonan was now the CFO and had a lot of work to do; having been dragged around by Jiang Jing for so long, her workload had piled up quite a bit.

Just as Jiang Jing sat down in his office and hadn't yet taken a sip of the freshly brewed hot tea, Jiang Yan knocked on the door and walked in.

Jiang Yan first greeted Jiang Jing and Li Ruonan, then reported: "According to the plan, a representative from an overseas company will arrive this morning to discuss the export agency matters for the beauty serum."

"Hmm, you can handle it with full authority." Jiang Jing waved his hand casually, not very interested in this kind of business negotiation.

His mind was currently more focused on how to spend money and enjoy life.

Jiang Yan shook her head slightly and added: "The other party is very insistent, specifically asking to meet with you in person. Their person in charge hinted... that there is something you might be interested in."

"Oh?" Jiang Jing paused, his teacup suspended in mid-air, a hint of surprise appearing on his face. "Something I might be interested in? Who could possibly know what I'm interested in?"

This actually piqued his curiosity.

He wanted to see what kind of bargaining chip the other party could produce that was worth him, the hands-off boss, appearing in person.

"Tell them to go to the conference room; I'll be there shortly." Jiang Jing decided to go and see them.

"Understood." Jiang Yan nodded in agreement and turned to go make arrangements.

A moment later, Jiang Jing walked into the spacious and bright conference room with a hint of curiosity.

As soon as he entered, Jiang Jing's gaze was drawn to the group of people sitting across the conference table.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, his hair combed meticulously.

He was dressed in a finely tailored Italian suit, and a priceless Patek Philippe watch was visible on his wrist, giving off the aura of a refined yet high-ranking business elite.

[Ding! Detected a consumption target that meets the requirements. Would you like to view their information?]

The system's notification sound rang in his mind. Jiang Jing glanced at the female attendant in the other team who was keeping her head down, wearing a mask and hat. He understood, and temporarily ignored it.

Seeing Jiang Jing enter, the middle-aged man stood up, a warm and perfectly measured smile on his face, and walked forward to greet him, speaking in fluent, albeit slightly accented, Chinese:

"You must be Mr. Jiang, right? I've heard so much about you! It is an honor to finally meet you today."

While shaking hands, his gaze swept extremely quickly and covertly over Jiang Yan, Zhou Wanqin, and Lin Hong behind Jiang Jing.

Even though he was used to seeing all kinds of beautiful women, he couldn't help but let a flash of unconcealable amazement cross his eyes. However, he quickly regained control, hid that amazement well, and refocused his attention on Jiang Jing.

"I am Lee Hyun-ki, from South Korea's Yixing Group, third in my family." The man introduced himself with a smile, his tone carrying a hint of imperceptible pride.

Yixing Group?

That giant chaebol from South Korea?

Jiang Jing's heart stirred slightly, but his face remained calm. He signaled for the other party to sit down: "So it is Young Master Li. Nice to meet you. May I ask what business brings you from afar, insisting on meeting me?"

After both sides were seated, Lee Hyun-ki began to speak eloquently: "Mr. Jiang, I believe you must have heard of our Yixing Group."

"As the largest chaebol in South Korea, we control the most important economic lifelines of the country. From electronics and finance to biopharmaceuticals and medical aesthetics, our influence is everywhere. We possess the top-tier channels and resources in all of South Korea, and even the world."

He leaned forward slightly, trying to create a sense of oppression and temptation: "The 'huanyan beauty serum' you developed has amazing effects and can be called an epoch-making product."

"It perfectly fits our group's development in the fields of high-end medical aesthetics and entertainment culture. Although your quote... is indeed somewhat unexpected."

Lee Hyun-ki smiled, his tone carrying the unique confidence of a chaebol: "But this price is absolutely not a problem for us at Yixing."

"We are even confident that we can take on all of your overseas exports. After all, in South Korea, especially in the high-end market, what the final selling price is... is often up to us."

The implication in his words was clear: they had the ability to manipulate the market and sell the 30,000 USD beauty serum for an even higher, sky-high price, and the profit margin would still be huge.

Jiang Jing listened to the other party's slightly boastful introduction and market analysis, his expression calm and unruffled; he even felt like yawning.

He tapped the table lightly and asked with some confusion: "Young Master Li, I have heard the details of the business cooperation you mentioned, and I acknowledge your company's strength."

"However, you could have discussed all of this with our President Jiang Yan. I am very curious, what is the reason that makes you feel you must meet me in person?"

Seeing that Jiang Jing was completely unfazed by the golden signboard of "Yixing Group" and had no reaction to his grand promises, Lee Hyun-ki's confident smile stiffened for a moment, and a flash of chagrin crossed his face.

But he adjusted quickly, and the smile returned to his face, only this time there was a bit more mystery in it.

"Mr. Jiang is truly straightforward."

Lee Hyun-ki changed the subject, then lowered his voice and said: "My insistence on meeting you this time, besides expressing our sincerity in cooperation, is more importantly... in the hope of personally giving you a small gift."

"A gift that we believe you might be interested in!"

"A gift?" Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow, his curiosity growing stronger. "What kind of gift?"

Lee Hyun-ki revealed a meaningful smile and clapped his hands lightly.

Following his applause, the female attendant who had been standing quietly behind him, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, with her face completely covered, slowly stepped forward.

She extended her fair fingers, gently removed her sunglasses and mask, and revealed the face that had been hidden all along.

It was an extremely pure and stunningly beautiful face, with fair and translucent skin, and features as exquisite as God's most perfect masterpiece.

A pair of big eyes, like a startled little deer, looked at Jiang Jing with a bit of shyness and innocence, appearing pitiful. As her eyes shifted, there was a sense of fragility that could easily arouse a man's protective instincts.

She looked remarkably like Chae Soo-bin, that beauty who became an instant hit after crying out "So cold" upon being splashed with water on a variety show.
