Chapter 346 I'm leaving, hurry up and show me your moves.
Meanwhile, in the master bedroom next door.
Jiang Jing lay alone on the large bed, hands behind his head, staring at the ornately decorated ceiling, feeling a bit bored.
Accustomed to having a soft, fragrant beauty in his arms every night, suddenly becoming a loner felt quite strange.
He certainly knew Lee Ji-yeon was right next door; if he wanted to, he could easily find an excuse to call her over.
However, considering she had just reunited with her sister, she surely had a lot to talk about. If he were to only think of his own pleasure and pull her over now, it would seem too impatient and unfeeling.
"Sigh, for the sake of long-term plans, and to win over the potential sister-in-law Han Ji-eun, I'll just have to endure it for now."
Jiang Jing sighed and comforted himself, "I still need to maintain my image."
Helpless, he could only turn over, force himself to fall asleep, and experience the long-lost feeling of sleeping alone.
Over the next two days, Jiang Jing and his party began a sightseeing tour of South Korea under the guidance of the two local guides, Lee Ji-yeon and Han Ji-eun.
However, after touring, Jiang Jing's overall feeling was—dull and uninteresting, failing to live up to its reputation.
The so-called historic Gyeongbokgung Palace was not even as grand or impressive as a well-preserved prince's mansion in the Dragon Kingdom.
The famous shopping district, Myeong-dong, was crowded, and the goods were severely homogenized.
Even the natural scenery that was hyped up to the skies, such as a certain famous mountain range, seemed merely small and delicate to Jiang Jing, who was used to the famous mountains and rivers of the Dragon Kingdom, lacking that breathtaking magnificence.
"As expected, a tiny place is just a tiny place; its foundation and scale are far too lacking," Jiang Jing complained privately to Zhou Wanqin and Lin Hong.
The group basically just walked and stopped, tasting local specialties like Korean BBQ, army stew, and various seafood pancakes, which was the only interesting part.
But even so, two days were more than enough to tour all of South Korea.
Feeling deeply bored, Jiang Jing felt this trip to South Korea was about time to end.
He wasn't really here for tourism.
So, on the morning of the third day, he directly called Lee Hyun-ki.
"Chairman Li, thank you for your hospitality over the past two days; I had a 'great time'," Jiang Jing said in a relaxed tone.
"I've finished my personal business here and am planning to set off back to the Dragon Kingdom tomorrow. I specifically wanted to let you know."
This sounded like a farewell, but in reality, it was a silent urging and an ultimatum—I haven't given you much time left; use whatever tricks you have quickly, otherwise, I'm leaving.
Upon hearing this, Lee Hyun-ki on the other end of the phone felt a sudden jolt in his heart.
He hadn't expected Jiang Jing to leave so soon.
His plans to "use both soft and hard tactics" and "subtly influence" Jiang Jing hadn't even officially begun yet!
"Oh! President Jiang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Lee Hyun-ki quickly tried to persuade him to stay, his tone filled with exaggerated reluctance.
"You've only been here for a few days; there are still many wonderful places in South Korea you haven't experienced yet!"
"Moreover, regarding the future cooperation between our two companies, I have always wanted to find an opportunity to have a deep discussion with you!"
"This is a major matter concerning our common development. Could you please stay one more day so we can have a good talk?"
Listening to his anxious tone, the corners of Jiang Jing's mouth curled into a smile of expectation.
As expected, he couldn't hold his composure.
He wanted to see what kind of "brilliant" tricks this Third Young Master could come up with for their so-called discussion on cooperation.
"Oh? Cooperation?" Jiang Jing pretended to ponder, then readily agreed, "Since Chairman Li is so hospitable, I will impose on you for one more day."
"Great! It's a deal! I'll arrange it immediately! I guarantee it will be a meeting that will benefit you greatly!"
Lee Hyun-ki was overjoyed, as if fearing Jiang Jing would go back on his word, and quickly finalized it.
Hanging up the phone, the smile on Jiang Jing's face became playful.
The fish was finally about to take the bait.
...
In a luxuriously decorated conference room, the two sides of the long conference table were clearly divided.
Jiang Jing sat on one side with Zhou Wanqin, Lin Hong, and the others; although they were few in number, their aura was calm and steady.
Opposite them, led by Lee Hyun-ki, sat seven or eight executives and advisors from Yixing Group, a rather large lineup.
Lee Hyun-ki wore an enthusiastic smile as he spoke first, his tone familiar: "President Jiang, why are you in such a hurry to return? Is our hospitality lacking? Stay a few more days, so we have a chance to fulfill our duties as hosts more thoroughly."
Jiang Jing leaned back in his chair, his posture relaxed. He smiled faintly at the words and spoke bluntly: "Chairman Li, you are too kind; the hospitality was very good."
"It's just that... the places to visit in your country are really a bit... uninteresting, and two days were more than enough."
His words were quite direct, pointing out the fact that South Korea lacked tourism resources.
The smile on Lee Hyun-ki's face froze for a moment, and the corner of his eye twitched imperceptibly.
These words were like a thorn, pricking him uncomfortably, but he couldn't refute them because it was an objective fact.
He could only chuckle twice and force the topic to change: "Haha, President Jiang is truly straightforward. Since President Jiang has a tight schedule, we won't keep you any longer and will get straight to the point."
He cleared his throat, and his expression became serious.
"Inviting President Jiang for a deep discussion this time is mainly to explore deeper future cooperation between our two sides."
He paused and began with business flattery: "First, I must thank President Jiang again for his trust in our Yixing Group."
"The success of the huanyan beauty serum in the Asian market is something we have all witnessed; this magical product has brought huge commercial value and brand influence to both of us."
"President Jiang's scientific research capabilities are truly breathtaking!"
Jiang Jing listened quietly with a smile, not interrupting, waiting for what he had to say next.
Seeing that Jiang Jing was unmoved, Lee Hyun-ki threw out his core purpose: "It is precisely because we have seen the huge potential brought by huanyan that our entire group has great interest and anticipation for your other epoch-making product—the Neural Induction Prosthetics!"
He leaned forward slightly: "Our Yixing Group very much hopes to continue our pleasant cooperation and obtain the exclusive agency rights for this Prosthetic limb in the Asian market!"
"We have the confidence and the absolute strength to promote this great product to every corner of Asia, and even to the world!"
Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, a half-smile appearing on his face: "Chairman Li, aren't you booking this a bit too early? I don't recall... announcing that the Prosthetic limb would be exported yet, have I?"
