Chapter 114: Insurance is a Must

When Jiang Yanran arrived at Zhengxin Shipyard, everyone she passed was stunned.

It wasn't that Jiang Yanran's appearance was so exceptionally outstanding; there were a few girls in the company who could rival her.

It was mainly the noble, cold, and glamorous aura she carried that truly stunned everyone.

Jiang Yanran's skin was as fair as snow, her face was as cold as frost, and she wore an expression of indifference that kept people at a distance.

After touring the company, Zheng Qian accompanied Chen Weiqiang and took Jiang Yanran to the wharf, where they casually picked two cargo ships to board and inspect.

During dinner that evening, Chen Weiqiang asked.

"President Jiang, what do you think? Can Zhengxin Shipyard reach a cooperative relationship with Asia Shipping?"

Jiang Yanran held her wine glass with one hand, took a sip of red wine with her cherry lips, arched her beautiful eyebrows, and said softly, "Yes."

Chen Weiqiang was stunned.

Zheng Qian, however, felt that things were not that simple.

"Re...really?" Chen Weiqiang was shocked and wanted to confirm again.

"Yes, Asia Shipping can reach a strategic partnership with Zhengxin Shipyard."

This was the first time everyone had heard Jiang Yanran speak such a long sentence.

Chen Weiqiang remained calm on the surface, but he was jumping for joy inside. If it weren't for the fact that there were so many people present, he probably would have jumped up with excitement.

"However, I want him to apologize to me first."

Who?

Jiang Yanran lifted her chin slightly and fixed her gaze on Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian: ???

Him?

Why on earth should he apologize to Jiang Yanran? If anyone needed to apologize, it should be Jiang Yanran apologizing to him.

Chen Weiqiang looked confused, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes bunching up.

"President Jiang, are you talking about President Zheng? You want him to apologize to you?"

"Yes, apologize to me."

"May I ask why?" Chen Weiqiang pressed.

Could it be that there was some history or conflict between Zheng Qian and Jiang Yanran that he didn't know about?

At the same time, Chen Weiqiang cast a puzzled look at Zheng Qian.

Damn it, stop looking at me!

Zheng Qian was completely bewildered; he had no idea what he had done wrong.

"I hadn't even finished using that person, yet President Zheng poached him from me. Shouldn't he apologize to me?" Jiang Yanran said coldly.

Zheng Qian was absolutely stunned.

Didn't you just say that Xiao Xinhao had already been fired by you?

If you were still going to use him, you shouldn't have fired him!

You made Xiao Xinhao lose heart, and he wanted to defect to me directly.

Chen Weiqiang found it difficult to make a decision on this matter; he was the one who gave Xiao Xinhao the position at Zhengxin Shipyard, after all, since his relationship with Zheng Qian was so good.

Jiang Yanran's attitude was very firm, as if the deal between the two companies couldn't happen if Zheng Qian didn't apologize.

Chen Weiqiang was torn and looked at Zheng Qian with a wronged expression, wanting him to make a decision himself.

Zheng Qian thought this reason was too ridiculous!

Even if she had tried a little harder to make up a lie, it wouldn't have been this absurd.

Zheng Qian suddenly realized why Jiang Yanran had come to Yebai in person.

Duster Shipping's strength wasn't as good as Asia Shipping's, and they might not even be able to reach a partnership with Zhengxin Shipyard, so why would Jiang Yanran agree?

She just wanted to make Zheng Qian bow his head to her, didn't she?

Having figured this out, Zheng Qian felt that Jiang Yanran wasn't that mysterious; despite being the helmsman of Asia Shipping, she was actually just a small woman.

Chen Weiqiang soon realized this as well.

For Chen Weiqiang, as long as he could reach a partnership with Asia Shipping, none of this mattered; he would even be willing to be Jiang Yanran's driver for a week.

What was an apology?

But Jiang Yanran didn't want him to apologize; she wanted Zheng Qian to apologize.

That was a bit troublesome.

Zheng Qian was a few years younger than him, a young man full of hot blood, and at his core, he was unwilling to admit defeat or bow his head.

Otherwise, the incident yesterday where he slapped General Manager Sun in the face wouldn't have happened.

Little Qian, oh Little Qian, if you apologize to her today, I'll kowtow to you a hundred times!

The matter was of great importance.

This insurance must be secured.

He hoped that Zheng Qian could temporarily put aside his personal feelings.

Isn't it just an apology?

A real man knows when to bend and when to stretch; just apologize and be done with it!

Chen Weiqiang looked at Zheng Qian with an extremely pitiful, even pleading, look.

Zheng Qian felt very conflicted.

Jiang Yanran's car almost hit him, and not only did she not apologize afterwards, but she even tried to insult him with money.

At the Maritime Trade Summit, Zheng Qian was having a pleasant conversation with that female captain when Jiang Yanran suddenly appeared and snatched her away.

As for the poaching, that was completely baseless; she had clearly fired Xiao Xinhao first, so how did it turn into poaching?

But if he didn't apologize, Jiang Yanran wouldn't secure this insurance for Zhengxin Shipyard.

Zheng Qian didn't really care, but this insurance was very important to the company and to Chen Weiqiang.

In the end, Zheng Qian's heart softened; he couldn't stand Chen Weiqiang's look, so he apologized to Jiang Yanran.

"President Jiang, I'm sorry, it was my fault."

Chen Weiqiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Zheng Qian didn't let his emotions dictate his actions, otherwise the deal with Asia Shipping would have really fallen through.

When he got back, he would kowtow to Zheng Qian a hundred times!

Slap.

A fountain pen was slapped onto the table.

Secretary Du Bingbing hurriedly took two contracts out of her bag.

"President Chen, please sign."

Chen Weiqiang held his chopsticks, looking dumbfounded.

Sign now?

This efficiency was way too high.

Jiang Yanran was proud and arrogant.

She had already decided before coming that if Zheng Qian refused to apologize, she would fly back to Jiangnan immediately without staying for even an extra minute.

If Zheng Qian apologized, she would immediately sign the contract with Zhengxin Shipyard.

Zheng Qian watched as Chen Weiqiang happily signed the contract, but he felt extremely unhappy inside.

He had only apologized to Jiang Yanran for a baseless accusation for the sake of the company and Chen Weiqiang.

Jiang Yanran was looking at Zheng Qian with great smugness at this moment.

After the meeting ended.

Chen Weiqiang stopped Zheng Qian.

"Qian, Qian, don't leave yet."

"What is it, President Chen?"

"Today's matter, consider it a favor to me; don't take it to heart." Chen Weiqiang knew that Zheng Qian had only bowed his head to Jiang Yanran today for his sake.

It was his fault for letting Zheng Qian feel wronged.

"Don't take it to heart; if you're too bothered by it, I'll kowtow to you a hundred times right now to apologize."

Chen Weiqiang said, about to kneel down.

"No, no, no." Zheng Qian quickly held Chen Weiqiang back.

He could consider this his contribution to the company.

"It's fine, it's fine; it's not a big deal."

"Does this count as a word worth a thousand gold pieces?" Zheng Qian quickly adjusted his mindset and smiled.

"It counts! Of course it counts! Your words have secured a thick layer of insurance for our company! How could it not be worth a thousand gold pieces?" Chen Weiqiang joked back.

Seeing that Zheng Qian was fine, he let him go back.

When Zheng Qian returned to Jiangshan International, he was still thinking about this matter.

Jin Lu saw him, she walked up and started massaging Zheng Qian's shoulders.

"Something on your mind?"

"Hmm... it's nothing major." Zheng Qian had originally wanted to tell Jin Lu, but after thinking about it, he realized the matter wasn't exactly glorious, so he didn't say anything.

"Yo, yo, yo, my mighty man has something on his mind?"

Jin Lu leaned into Zheng Qian's ear and teased him in a low voice.

"Trying to tease me, huh!"

Zheng Qian was already feeling quite annoyed, and being teased by Jin Lu like this stirred up a fire within him.

"So what if I tease you?"

"Alright! You won't be getting any sleep tonight!"

"No, no, no... let's forget that!"

"Oh my, oh my... stop!"
