Jiang Tong said that she was an intelligence dealer, but now Zhou Jingyun even began to suspect that Jiang Tong was not an intelligence dealer. She was a fortune-teller, or perhaps a god! Otherwise, how could she know so much?
“That’s enough.” Jiang Tong took another sip of tea, then put down the teacup and said, “You guys go back to the private room upstairs first. I’ll go to the second floor to meet the next board member. I estimate that the meeting will be finished in twenty minutes.”
“Babe.” Xie Wenkai stood up. He had just listened to the conversation between Jiang Tong and Zhou Jingyun. Although his head was full of questions, seeing that Jiang Tong was going to do something important, he didn’t ask the questions he had in mind. Instead, he asked, “Then the phone call…” He was asking about using his phone to stay on the line with her.
“There’s no need. This time was just to let you know what attitude you should have after entering the door.” Jiang Tong said with a faint smile, “Everyone’s situation is very complicated. You only heard a few words and didn’t understand. So twenty minutes from now, both of you can go directly to the private room on the second floor to find me.”
In the next three hours or so, Jiang Tong entered and exited the five different private rooms of Spring Breeze Teahouse one by one. Xie Wenkai and Zhou Jingyun appeared at the time Jiang Tong had agreed in advance. For some private rooms, they appeared after twenty minutes, and for other private rooms, they appeared after thirty minutes. Because people were different and their methods were different, the time of the conversation was also different. It had unknowingly gotten very late. After Jiang Tong finished talking to the last person, Jiang Tong was ready to leave. Thus, Jiang Tong and the two men went downstairs with the last person they spoke to.
Under the night sky, outside the Spring Breeze Teahouse.
“Director Xie, don’t worry. My husband and I will definitely not let you down.” The middle-aged woman, who was shining with jewels, shook hands with Xie Wenkai. There was a hint of flattery on her face.
“Mrs. Sun, thank you for your trouble,” Xie Wenkai nodded with a polite smile.
“It’s no trouble at all. Miss Jiang, Director Zhou, Director Xie, I’ll be making a move first,” the middle-aged woman said and shook hands with Jiang Tong and Zhou Jingyun before getting into the car and leaving. Jiang Tong and Xie Wenkai, Zhou Jingyun, stood by the roadside and watched Mrs. Sun drive away. Jiang Tong looked down at her watch and said with a smile, “We can go home and sleep now.”
“And then?” Zhou Jingyun suddenly turned to Jiang Tong and asked, “And then? Even if you have taken care of six directors, you still haven’t reached two-thirds of the seats on the board. You haven’t even gotten half of the seats on Xie Wenkai’s side. How can you control the board?” Zhou Jingyun couldn’t figure it out, he couldn’t figure it out from the start. Although Jiang Tong took care of some of the directors of the Six Blessings Corporation quickly and miraculously, he couldn’t figure out how things would be settled just by dealing with these few people. Jiang Tong had said before that she wasn’t going to talk to all the directors, but only a few of them, so it should be these people.
“You don’t understand the Six Blessings Corporation or the Xie family, so just wait for the result, okay?” Jiang Tong looked at Zhou Jingyun and said, “Some things are really complicated to explain. Moreover, you’re an outsider, so you won’t understand. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Xie Wenkai. He should understand more than you do now.”
Zhou Jingyun paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xie Wenkai. Xie Wenkai hesitated for a moment and said, “It’s indeed very useful…” he glanced at Jiang Tong and then at Zhou Jingyun. Then, he continued, “But I also have a lot of things that I can’t figure out, which is…”
“Alright, alright. I really lost to the two of you,” Jiang Tong smiled helplessly. Xie Wenkai didn’t understand what Jiang Tong meant. Jiang Tong looked at the busy street and slowly said, “Those in power must learn to keep things in their hearts. Whether you know it or not, there’s no need to show it directly, especially for those who have nothing to do with the matter and have no interest in it. Xie Wenkai, if you pretended to know it just now and deliberately didn’t say it, our dear CEO Zhou Jingyun will think much more highly of you. He will be so curious that he will explode with questions and keep asking you. The more you don’t tell him, the more uncomfortable he will be. He will take the initiative to get closer to you.”
Xie Wenkai was deep in thought. He could feel that Jiang Tong was teaching him something. Zhou Jingyun’s expression changed continuously. In the end, he took a deep breath. He was angered by Jiang Tong again! At this moment, he clearly felt from Jiang Tong what it meant to be sinister! She was truly terrible!
“Jiang Tong, really?” Zhou Jingyun asked Jiang Tong sarcastically with a sideways glance.
“Yes,” Jiang Tong also looked at Zhou Jingyun with a smile and said, “Alright, that’s enough for today. It’s time to go home and sleep. Tomorrow… The good show will begin.”
