Chapter 222: Get Lost

" P-President Jiang? "

Zhang Jian turned his head and looked; it was actually Jiang Yanran!

Standing behind her was a middle-aged man, who was none other than Hua Yunfeng!

Damn!

How did I run into these two presidents here!

Jiang Yanran looked at Zheng Qian; Zhang Jian had already sent people to block him, yet he acted as if nothing was wrong.

She knew Zheng Qian was wealthy and powerful, but this wasn't Yezhou; it was Jiangnan. Didn't he know the principle that a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him?

Zheng Qian was now the distinguished Chairman of Qianhe Group; he was no longer the Vice President of Zhengxin Shipyard.

In terms of scale, Qianhe Group was even larger than Asia Shipping!

Zheng Qian appearing here must be for the blind auction the day after tomorrow.

If they hadn't run into each other today, so be it.

But since they had, she couldn't just stand by and watch.

This was Jiangnan, which could be considered her turf.

Moreover, she still intended to discuss a potential partnership with Zheng Qian. This favor, delivered right to her doorstep, was something she should accept.

Jiang Yanran was actually somewhat amazed by Zheng Qian's growth rate.

How long had it been, and he had already gone from being the Vice President of a small factory to the Chairman of a group company with a market value of over a billion?

She had heard that he had even acquired Yamei Group, merged it into Zhengxin Shipyard, and now owned a full 95% of Yamei Group's shares!

Not long ago, Zheng Qian was just a small fry who had to deliver bags to her in the middle of the night with just a single phone call.

Before she knew it, Zheng Qian was already able to stand on equal footing with her.

Perhaps even subconsciously, Zheng Qian had reached a level where he needed to owe her a favor just to have the opportunity to sit down and discuss cooperation with her.

Hua Yunfeng also walked over with Jiang Yanran.

He took a look.

Wasn't that Zheng Qian?

The Chairman of Qianhe Group.

Their mortal enemy in the Qijinyi Alliance.

Ever since the last bidding meeting, Hua Yunfeng had considered himself to have suppressed Qianhe Group in every aspect.

He didn't expect to run into Zheng Qian here.

Was he here for those cruise ships too?

That seemed unlikely.

He had already asked people from the Bureau of Industry and Commerce to check, and Qianhe Group didn't have much money in its accounts at all.

Hua Yunfeng no longer looked down upon a small fry like Zheng Qian, because he felt he could completely control him.

Jiang Yanran, who was always arrogant, dismissive, and snobbish, had proactively come over and seemed to want to help Zheng Qian out of a tight spot?

This move... honestly, Hua Yunfeng didn't understand it.

" President Jiang, just a small matter, a small matter. Please, go about your business. " Zhang Jian quickly stood up, smiling as he stepped forward to greet her.

" Uncle Hua, you're here too? "

" Hmm, nephew, what's the situation here? " Hua Yunfeng asked. After hearing the manager's account just now, he already had a rough idea.

The meaning behind saying this was to indicate that he could back Zhang Jian up.

After all, he had a good relationship with Zhang Jian's father, Zhang Lekang.

" Uncle Hua, it's nothing, just a small matter. I can handle it myself, hahaha, no need to trouble yourself. " Zhang Jian scratched his head with a silly smile.

Heh.

He had a bunch of brothers outside right now.

Inside the restaurant, he had the veteran Hua Yunfeng there to back him up.

If you, Zheng Qian, don't fall here today, then I, damn it, don't have the last name Zhang!

" A small matter? "

" What small matter? Why don't you tell me. "

Jiang Yanran glared at Zhang Jian coldly.

This look made Zhang Jian shiver.

" Sister Jiang... "

" Don't call me Sister Jiang! "

" I already have a rough understanding of the situation. Now, withdraw your men and apologize to him. "

" If anything happens to him while he's in Jiangnan these next few days, I will hold you accountable! "

Jiang Yanran couldn't be bothered to listen to Zhang Jian's excuses.

Zhang Jian was Zhang Lekang's son. Previously, when Zhang Jian represented Kangming Shipping in some business dealings with Asia Shipping, he had botched things up completely, and in the end, she was the one who had to send people to clean up his mess.

Jiang Yanran knew this second-generation rich kid's character well; he was useless at everything but excelled at drinking, feasting, whoring, and gambling.

Like today's incident, it was also caused by Zhang Jian and had nothing to do with Zheng Qian. Calling people to block Zheng Qian for no reason showed just how malicious this person's nature was.

This was in Jiangnan, not Dongyi, yet Zhang Jian dared to act like this.

If they were on the land managed by the Zhang family in Dongyi, wouldn't he be out there slashing people with knives?

Not only Zhang Jian, but even Hua Yunfeng was somewhat dumbfounded upon hearing this.

Jiang Yanran was actually sticking up for Zheng Qian!

When he first heard Jiang Yanran scold Zhang Jian, his expression had changed slightly. The more he listened, the more surprised he became. By now, Hua Yunfeng was completely incredulous.

He didn't understand. He really didn't understand!

Zhang Jian stood there foolishly, stunned; he had been completely intimidated by Jiang Yanran's two sentences. His heart raced, then slowed, and his emotions were in turmoil; he was at a loss for what to do.

How could he dare to offend Jiang Yanran!

His father, Zhang Lekang, was a member of the Qijinyi Alliance. With Jiang Yanran speaking up, even Hua Yunfeng, the leader of the Qijinyi Alliance, was hiding in the background, saying nothing.

Given the scale of Kangming Shipping, it was no match for Asia Shipping.

Zhang Jian didn't dare to offend Jiang Yanran over a mere Zheng Qian, thereby creating such a huge enemy for his family.

If his father found out, he would definitely break his legs.

Zhang Jian's expression was extremely ugly at this moment. After Jiang Yanran finished those two sentences, he only felt a chill shoot from the base of his spine to the top of his head, and he shivered uncontrollably.

Sister Jiang?

Song Yaxian frowned slightly.

Could this woman in front of her be the helmswoman of Jiangnan's number one shipping company, the leader of the Five Shipping Alliance, Asia Shipping... Jiang Yanran?!

Song Yaxian suddenly remembered.

No wonder Jiang Yanran looked so familiar; she had been fortunate enough to see her once at an event at ByteDance.

Even a woman like her, who prided herself on her ability, confidence, and talent, felt inferior and admired her to the point of prostration when faced with Jiang Yanran's various deeds and achievements.

What shocked Song Yaxian was that not only did Zheng Qian know Jiang Yanran, but Jiang Yanran had even taken the initiative to stand up and help him out of a tight spot.

This was huge face!

Women like Jiang Yanran, aren't they all snobbish?

A mere Zheng Qian shouldn't be able to catch her eye, right?

She didn't quite understand the current situation and stayed quietly on the side to continue observing.

As for Lu Shanshan, she didn't know Hua Yunfeng, let alone Jiang Yanran.

Judging from the expression and look on Zhang Jian's face, the middle-aged man's status should not be low.

This woman's status was even higher!

It even scared that middle-aged man into taking two steps back and stopping his interference.

The identities of these two were not simple. In front of these two people, Zhang Jian could only be considered a junior!

And compared to this man and woman, Zheng Qian's status was only higher, not lower. Otherwise, how could they help Zheng Qian out of a tight spot?

After deep thought and much struggling, Zhang Jian finally chose to bow his head.

He sent a message to his brothers outside, telling them to withdraw first.

Zhang Jian couldn't figure out why Zheng Qian was worth Jiang Yanran stepping in to help him out.

" Now apologize to him, and you can leave. "

Jiang Yanran looked at Zhang Jian with disdain and said coldly.

In her eyes, Zhang Jian was just a small fry with absolutely no strength to bargain.

Whatever she said, Zhang Jian had to do.

" S-sorry. "

" Sorry to whom? "

" Zheng Qian, I'm sorry, I was wrong! "

Zhang Jian apologized to Zheng Qian verbally, but internally he was extremely resentful, his hatred for Zheng Qian increasing exponentially.

" Get lost! "
