102: A net worth of billions!

The woman scanned the people present, pausing only briefly on Jiang Chuan and Feng Qiqi before instantly averting her gaze and finally fixing it on Zhao Shihang.

She parted her vermilion lips, her voice pleasant yet carrying a powerful aura: "How are you handling things? Getting into a fight while negotiating a partnership?"

Both Jiang Chuan and Zhao Shihang hung up their phones the moment they saw her.

One was afraid, the other surprised!

Zhao Shihang was clearly the afraid one; he didn't even dare to make eye contact, obviously having been beaten into submission before. He lowered his head like a quail, not daring to reply.

Jiang Chuan was very surprised. Seeing her wasn't entirely unexpected, after all, her home was in Hangzhou City.

However, he keenly captured a trace of complex emotion in the look she had just given him, and his heart began to churn.

"Could it be... she was reborn too?"

This person was none other than his little secretary from his past life, Li Xintong!

Li Xintong stared at this useless scion for a few seconds before saying coldly, "Let's go. Don't embarrass me any further!"

"Oh."

Zhao Shihang stood up obediently. Seeing her standing by the door, he didn't dare approach and kept his distance, waiting for her to leave first.

Seeing them about to leave, Jiang Chuan stood up and said, "Ma'am, can we talk privately?"

Li Xintong also wanted to talk to him. She wanted to know the reason behind that incident; she had investigated for a long time, and the two of them shouldn't have had any intersection at all.

The two walked out of the room and sat down in the private booth next door.

Jiang Chuan then cautiously leaned in and said, as if testing a secret code, "Are you OK?"

Li Xintong: "???"

Why was he suddenly speaking English?

Although she didn't understand, she still nodded and replied, "OK."

Jiang Chuan was a bit disappointed upon hearing this, but he continued with a glimmer of hope, "Since I was a child, my mother told me..."

Li Xintong was completely bewildered. Seeing the expectant look in his eyes, as if he wanted her to say something, she could only ask politely, "Told you what?"

Jiang Chuan leaned back on the sofa and sighed heavily. It seemed she really hadn't been reborn. He had countless questions he wanted answers to, but it seemed he would have to find them himself.

"Does this person have mental issues?"

Li Xintong had thought that him wanting a private talk was to address the questions she had harbored for a long time, but she didn't expect it was just to ask two bizarre questions.

After she answered, his face was full of disappointment, as if he had lost something, but she still spoke up:

"I answered two of your questions, so you answer two of mine. It's only fair."

"Sure, go ahead and ask."

Once Jiang Chuan knew she wasn't a fellow returnee, he lost much of his interest. He didn't want to change the original trajectory too much, otherwise, who knew what unexpected changes might occur.

Li Xintong pondered for a long while before asking her first question: "Have you ever been to the British Empire?"

"No!"

Jiang Chuan replied without hesitation. Forget this life, he hadn't even been there in his past life.

"Do you have any elders in your family who are very wealthy? Like, a huge amount of money!"

"No!"

Li Xintong wasn't surprised. She had already checked his information, and his answers were entirely truthful.

"Can I ask you one more question?"

"No!"

Jiang Chuan shook his head, already preparing to leave. He felt that answering two questions was already a bit much. He quickly added, "I'll be opening an investment company in Falling City in the future. I hope you'll come visit."

Seeing that he was unwilling to answer further, Li Xintong didn't push. She nodded and accepted his invitation, keeping her third question buried in her heart.

The two walked out of the booth. Everyone was standing in the hallway waiting. Seeing them emerge, they hurried over, asking worriedly or offering greetings.

Feng Qiqi was naturally full of worry. Regardless of the circumstances, hitting someone was definitely wrong. That woman looked like she had a terrifyingly significant background; how could she not be worried?

Qin Siyuan quickly trotted over to offer his regards. He couldn't afford to offend even Zhao Shihang, let alone someone Zhao Shihang was afraid of. It wouldn't hurt to make an acquaintance and get on her radar.

Li Xintong didn't like such occasions and ignored those trying to flatter her. She led Zhao Shihang downstairs. Seeing Qin Siyuan insisting on politely seeing her off, she turned back and said, "Cooperating with President Jiang will only bring you benefits and no harm. Go back."

"Understood! Take care!"

Qin Siyuan watched her leave, feeling extremely happy. This could be considered forming a connection; he would have a backer in Hangzhou City from now on.

Jiang Chuan watched them leave. He returned to the booth and sat down. He indeed hadn't heard of a company named Yuanchuang before.

He took out his phone to look it up and found that it was indeed something significant, ranking among the top one hundred companies in the country.

For the son of such a large company to be scared like this, there were only a few dozen companies in the country that could manage it. His little secretary's background was not simple at all.

He hadn't investigated his little secretary in his past life. After all, they had supported each other all the way, so there was no need to dig into her past life.

He only knew she had studied abroad in the British Empire, her parents had passed away while she was in school, and she lived with her uncle's family after returning to the country.

Furthermore, those two questions of hers also indicated that her finding him in Falling City in his past life was for another reason.

Things were becoming more and more mysterious, but he was one step closer to the truth!

Qin Siyuan returned to the booth and said apologetically, "President Jiang, this is truly a case of the Flood Demon hitting the Dragon King Temple. You should have said earlier that you knew people from Yuanchuang."

Jiang Chuan pulled back his thoughts. This matter actually didn't have much to do with Old Qin. When the son of such a large company came looking for him, there was no way to refuse, but he could use this incident to get some benefits.

Pretending to be full of anger, he snorted coldly and said, "President Qin, you owe me an explanation, don't you?"

Qin Siyuan had come today specifically for the partnership and didn't care about these small profits anymore. He said repeatedly:

"Of course, of course. I'll lower the profit margin for you by 0.5; that's the absolute minimum. This is a food company; we really don't make much profit."

Jiang Chuan didn't continue to haggle. This price was indeed very reasonable. He stood up and said with a smile, "Then I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

Li Xintong walked out of the cafe and turned to look back at the second-floor booth. She hadn't gained any information this time; this man was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see his true self.

But it was fine as long as she found him. As long as she found the person, she would eventually uncover the truth. She wasn't in a hurry.

This was the first time Zhao Shihang had seen an emotional ripple on her face; her mood was clearly quite good. He asked curiously, "Sister, what did you and that Jiang Chuan talk about?"

Li Xintong turned her head and walked toward the Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside, replying, "I wanted to ask him three questions, but he only answered two."

"You want me to invest in him because you think he'll definitely grow in the future?"

Hearing this question, Li Xintong actually broke into a smile, as if she had heard a particularly funny joke. She shook her head and said, "I don't know, but he should at least be worth ten billion."

The third question she had wanted to ask was: "Did you suddenly come into a very large sum of money?"
