Chapter 223: I have nothing to do with her

Zheng Qian lightly spat out two words.

Zhang Jian left the scene viciously.

When passing by the front desk, Zhang Jian caught a glimpse of a waiter eating melon seeds while laughing as he watched their farce.

It was the exact same waiter who had just given Zheng Qian a hard time.

Zhang Jian was furious, "What the hell are you laughing at! Get out here!"

He grabbed the waiter by the collar and dragged him out directly.

Slap!

Slap!

He ruthlessly slapped him twice across the face.

Even so, it was hard to appease the hatred in Zhang Jian's heart.

Regardless of whether the restaurant was high-end or low-end, waiters were always at the bottom of the hierarchy in such situations.

Zhang Jian was currently in a fit of rage, and since the guy was caught red-handed mocking him, there was nothing to say about getting slapped.

The waiter, having been slapped twice, could only cover his face and suffer in silence, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Zhang Jian strode out quickly.

Hua Yunfeng quietly followed him.

"Hey, hey, hey, nephew, don't leave yet. Come over here, I want to have a word with you." Hua Yunfeng called out to stop Zhang Jian.

"Uncle Hua..."

The expression on Zhang Jian's face right now was indescribable; it was a mix of hatred, anger, and grievance.

"What exactly is that kid's background? Why did Jiang Yanran even stand up for him!" Zhang Jian was extremely unwilling to accept this.

If it hadn't been for Jiang Yanran intervening, he definitely would have pinned Zheng Qian down here today and given him a beating.

Regardless of his background, he should have just beaten him first.

This was Jiangnan, not Dongyi. If this were on territory managed by the Zhang family, he would have demanded one of Zheng Qian's hands.

Hua Yunfeng looked left and right, then waved at Zhang Jian, signaling him to come over.

He leaned into Zhang Jian's ear and muttered a few words in a low voice.

After hearing this, Zhang Jian's face turned purple, then green, and finally a ghastly pale.

Qianhe Group?

And he's the Chairman??!

Zhang Jian had originally thought that Zheng Qian was just another second-generation heir like himself.

He hadn't expected that he was actually the Chairman of a group company with a market value of over a billion?

This is insane.

No wonder Jiang Yanran stepped in to help him out.

No wonder Lu Shanshan treated Zheng Qian that way, like a female sycophant, and yet Zheng Qian still acted completely indifferent.

So it was because Zheng Qian had this status!

But thinking about it carefully.

Given Jiang Yanran's personality and style of handling things, Zheng Qian shouldn't have been worth her helping him like this, right?

Jiang Yanran could have completely pretended not to see it and walked away as if nothing happened.

Jiang Yanran and Zheng Qian had made him lose face in front of Lu Shanshan, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He felt that this matter would keep him up at night for several days.

"I don't really understand that either..."

Hua Yunfeng scratched his head.

...

Heh.

Zhang Jian could only use the waiter as a punching bag.

"Zheng Qian, don't take this little matter to heart."

Jiang Yanran snapped her fingers and called the manager over.

"How much is his meal? I'll pay for it."

"Miss Jiang, Mr. Zheng has already paid, and he even gave us a generous tip." The manager stepped forward and explained.

"Do you need me to send someone to take you back?"

Zheng Qian shook his head.

"Alright, I still have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving first."

After Jiang Yanran finished speaking, she took her secretary and left the restaurant.

The manager was already covered in sweat.

He couldn't afford to offend any of the people in here!

Zheng Qian couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

Throughout the whole process, Jiang Yanran only said two things to him.

The first, telling him not to take it to heart.

The second, asking if he needed a car ride.

Heh.

Jiang Yanran, is this your change in attitude?

Are you no longer that high-and-mighty President Jiang who called me in the middle of the night to deliver a bag?

The feeling of having money is indeed quite nice.

Zheng Qian used to be a small vice president at Zhengxin Shipyard, and Jiang Yanran would order him around like a servant.

Now that he had become the Chairman of Qianhe Group, her attitude had really changed quickly.

Although it was only two sentences, Zheng Qian already felt that his status in Jiang Yanran's heart had risen quite a bit.

Just now, Jiang Yanran's Favorability toward him had remained at 40 points.

It could be considered a big jump!

Zheng Qian, however, remained calm as water; he didn't have much emotional fluctuation.

Still, one must work vigorously on their career!

Only with strength can one be respected.

After walking out of the restaurant, Zheng Qian helped Lu Shanshan call a taxi, which counted as "sending" her back.

In the back seat of the taxi.

Zheng Qian had been thinking about what Lu Shanshan's actions just now meant.

Did she not want him to misunderstand her relationship with Zhang Jian?

That shouldn't be it; he didn't have any designs on Lu Shanshan, so what was there to explain?

First explaining, then sharing a table, then taking the initiative to ask him to send her off.

Could it be that this girl is trying to throw herself at him?

Or what did it mean?

Zheng Qian analyzed several possibilities.

"My dear President Zheng, which year's romantic debt is that girl from just now?"

Zheng Qian: ...

Song Yaxian suddenly said this, disrupting all his thoughts.

"Speak properly..."

"Didn't I already tell you? She's just my college classmate."

"College classmate? Hmph, I don't believe it."

"You two definitely have a story."

"Otherwise, why would she give up her current date, share a table with you, and ask you to send her home?"

"Look at you, you have no chivalry at all."

"If I were you, I would definitely have sent her back to the hotel; maybe we could have continued to develop the story!"

How could Zheng Qian not tell that Song Yaxian was mocking him?

"Go on, go on, am I that kind of person?"

"Aren't you imagining me to be too much of a playboy?"

"What, aren't you just that kind of person?"

"Look, tonight there were two women who both threw an olive branch at you!"

Song Yaxian sat in the back seat, and not knowing if she had drunk too much or what, she wouldn't stop talking.

"You mean Jiang Yanran?"

"I have even less to do with her. I've only met her a few times, and our relationship isn't very good," Zheng Qian said truthfully.

"Look, lies just roll off your tongue; I don't know how to believe you anymore."

"Where was that a lie?" Zheng Qian pouted.

"If you two didn't have a good relationship, would she have stood up to help you out?"

In Song Yaxian's eyes, even though Zheng Qian was the Chairman of Qianhe Group, it shouldn't have been enough to make the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in Jiangnan take the initiative to stand up and help him out of a tight spot.

To put it exaggeratingly, Yezhou is just a little-known, small place; compared to Jiangnan, it is truly far behind.

Zheng Qian didn't really understand why Jiang Yanran wanted to help him either.

Did she want to ease the relationship between the two of them?

Although he didn't bring Duan Qiran's team of bodyguards to Jiangnan, to be honest, he didn't need Jiang Yanran to help him out.

As long as he revealed his identity as the Chairman of Qianhe Group, he doubted Zhang Jian would dare to do anything to him.

Hilton Hotel.

Lu Shanshan had drunk a bit too much, but fortunately, her tolerance was decent, and she was currently in a slightly tipsy state.

"Good daughter, why are you back?"
