There’s Nothing to Worry About
Just as Jiang Tong and the others were about to leave, a middle-aged man’s surprised voice suddenly came from not far away. “Madam Wu?”
Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned around. They saw a group of people who had just finished eating and came downstairs. There were six or seven people in total, both men and women. The leader was the man who had greeted Wu Rong. He looked to be in his forties, had short hair, and had a medium build.
Jiang Tong knew who the man was. He was Luo Xiang, 47 years old, the chairman of Jingdu Xiangyun Investment Company. In recent years, in addition to Wu Group’s business, Wu Rong had also engaged in other businesses, such as funds and investments, so she knew a lot of people in this circle.
Luo Xiang was pleasantly surprised. He quickly walked forward to shake hands with Wu Rong, “Madam Wu Rong, long time no see.” He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and his face was red.
“Yeah, long time no see. Boss Luo, you’re still as elegant as ever,” Wu Rong smiled and shook hands with Luo Xiang.
“Madam Wu Rong, you’re the one who is as elegant as ever. I haven’t seen you for a while, and you’ve become more beautiful.” Luo Xiang and Wu Rong chatted for a while before he noticed the people beside her. He had drunk too much and his observation skills were not as sharp as before. That was why he noticed that he knew the person beside Wu Rong. Gu Yu, who had her hand on Jiang Tong’s shoulder, had already let go of Jiang Tong and stood up straight when Luo Xiang and Wu Rong were talking.
Luo Xiang didn’t pay much attention to Jiang Tong, as he didn’t know her at all. He only noticed Gu Yu.
“Second Miss Gu is here too…” Luo Xiang’s tone suddenly changed. He looked around. This attitude was related to his connections and background. Luo Xiang was from the Xiang family in Jingdu! The Xiang family and the Gu family were both top families in Jingdu. Although the two families couldn’t be said to be enemies, they were competitors. The second and third generations of the two families had a lot of competition in business. Luo Xiang was someone who relied on the Xiang family to make a fortune. Not only was he in the same line as Gu Yu, but he even had the same position as the Xiang family in some investment business and had direct competition with Gu Yu!
Gu Yu and Wu Rong had been doing investment business for the past few years. Now that Gu Yu and Wu Rong were having a meal together, what were they going to talk about? Were they going to cooperate with each other? Although it was just a guess, Luo Xiang felt that this wasn’t good news for him and the Xiang family.
Gu Yu stood there and squinted her eyes at Luo Xiang. She didn’t say anything. She looked drunk and her body was still swaying. She had drunk too much today, but it wasn’t like she couldn’t think. She just didn’t want to talk to Luo Xiang. Seeing this, Luo Xiang looked at Wu Rong naturally and smiled, “Madam Wu Rong, it seems like you have a big business deal today…”
“What big business deal? It’s just a casual gathering,” Wu Rong answered with a smile. She and Luo Xiang exchanged a few more words before the two groups left the restaurant one after another. They said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.
Gu Yu had also drunk too much, so she didn’t say much to Jiang Tong. After mentioning that they would meet again tomorrow, she was helped into the car by the bodyguards. Jiang Tong followed Wu Rong into the car.
“Do you know who Boss Luo is?” Wu Rong asked Jiang Tong in the car.
“Luo Xiang, from the Xiang family,” Jiang Tong replied.
“You know? Aren’t you worried that the Xiang family will find out about my cooperation with Gu Yu? Won’t it spoil things?” Wu Rong asked again.
“Even if the Xiang family knows that you and Gu Yu are working together, they won’t know what exactly you are working on. At most, they will find out some small investments made to fool people. The plan will take a few months to complete. Some people will know that you and Gu Yu are working together to invest. What they can find out is normal business behavior. It’s no big deal if others find out about this,” After Jiang Tong finished speaking, she turned to look at Wu Rong.
“Although that’s the case, I’m afraid… I can’t explain it clearly. I also don’t know how far the competition between the Xiang and Gu families has gone.” Wu Rong was still worried.
“I know about the situation of the Xiang family and the Gu family. Don’t worry, I will deal with it.” Jiang Tong then comforted Wu Rong, “There’s nothing to worry about.”
Wu Rong’s expression changed subtly. She actually felt a sense of security from Jiang Tong…? This was a feeling that many men had never given her!
Jiang Tong didn’t notice Wu Rong’s silence. She took out her phone and dialed Zhou Jingyun’s number, and the call was picked up very quickly.
“You’re done?” Zhou Jingyun was the first to speak.
“Almost done. I’m on my way back to the hotel,” Jiang Tong said with a smile, “It’s already so late, why aren’t you resting? Were you waiting for my call?”
