Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend

Chapter 696: Chapter 696 Pigeon Pigeon Smells So Manly

In the meeting room, Yikali had been waiting for several hours.

Her mood was becoming increasingly irritable.

But as midday passed, she calmed down.

She ate the snacks leisurely.

On the other hand, Jiang Xu had finished all his work at hand.

Looking at the time, it was already half past twelve.

Well, first he went to the cafeteria for lunch, and then he slowly made his way to the meeting room.

Exercising his facial muscles at the door, Jiang Xu pushed it open, “Oh dear, I’m so sorry, Miss Yikali.

I’ve been swamped with so much work today that I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

I apologize for neglecting our honored guest.”

His performance was spot-on, leaving no room for criticism.

“It’s okay,” Yikali stood up, smiling, “I’m hungry, would you join me for a meal?”

Jiang Xu did not respond to her suggestion but asked, “Is there something important you want to discuss with me, Miss Yikali?”

“You haven’t been replying to my messages!” Yikali pouted, looking like she might cry at any moment, “I’ve been waiting for your messages for so long.”

“Ah, you sent me messages?” Jiang Xu pretended to be very surprised.

He took out his phone and glanced at it.

Then, slapping his forehead, he exclaimed, “Oh no, I receive tens of thousands of messages every day on my phone, it’s easy to miss some. I’m truly sorry, it was not intentional.”

“Really?” Yikali looked doubtful, “Aren’t your work and personal WeChat accounts separate?”

Jiang Xu nodded, “They are separate, yes.”

“Then how could…” Yikali caught on, stomping her foot in anger, “Did you add me with your work account?!”

“It doesn’t make a difference, I use both accounts.” Jiang Xu replied.

“Hmph!” Yikali pursed her lips, not wanting to continue this topic any longer.

“I’m so hungry, come with me to eat,” Yikali repeated.

“I’m sorry,” Jiang Xu said apologetically, “the company is really too busy today, I can’t get away.

I’ll have the vice president of the company accompany you instead.”

“No, I want you to accompany me,” Yikali suddenly acted willful.

Jiang Xu gave a bitter smile, “I really can’t, I can’t spare a moment.”

Yikali said, “What if I came today with an investment of ten billion?”

“Oh?” Jiang Xu’s eyebrows twitched.

Yikali said with a smile, “I came to you mainly to talk about investment today.

So you have to treat me well, or I might not invest, you know.

And this is just the first phase.

If we have a pleasant collaboration, there will be a second, a third, a fourth phase, and the amount of investment will keep getting higher.”

If this had been earlier, Jiang Xu would have been very tempted and would have made utmost effort to please the little princess.

But with the recent success in the development of the 14nm chip, Jiang Xu’s confidence had inflated.

Plus, with Yikali having impure motives towards him, he no longer valued the investment.

So he still shook his head.

Yikali was already a bit angry but still said, “Then I’ll add more, the first phase, an investment of fifteen billion.”

“Sigh,” Jiang Xu sighed and said, “Could you let your people step out first?”

Yikali waved her hand, telling the bodyguards to leave.

Jiang Xu’s expression became serious, “Miss Yikali, if you want to invest normally and make friends, I am more than welcoming, but!!”

“The prerequisite is that it will not affect my family, nor my fiancée in any way, do you understand what I’m saying?”

Yikali felt a bit guilty but still retorted defiantly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Heh,” Jiang Xu chuckled coldly, “You know exactly what I’m talking about.

You introducing your cousin to Nuonuo, we all know what you’re up to.

I hope Miss Yikali will act in moderation, that way we can all remain pleasant friends.”

Yikali’s face turned from pale to flushed.

No one, not even her parents, had ever spoken to her in such a stern tone.

How dare he? Jiang Xu, how dare he?

But at the same time, a slightly different feeling arose.

Dotdot has such a manly charm.

I like him even more now.

“Okay, I was wrong,” Yikali lowered her head, “I promise I won’t do such things again.

Please forgive me this once, I will be honest from now on.”

Jiang Xu was astonished.

No, had this girl given in so easily?

Jiang Xu had been prepared for both sides to fall out, which would then provoke a series of follow-up issues.

But even if he had a complete fallout with Yikali, the consequences were something the current Jiang Xu could handle.

Yes, that’s the 14-nanometer chip.

Jiang Xu was the only one in the world who had managed to produce it.

A unique existence.

If the news got out now, it would definitely shock the world.

But who knew Yikali would give in so easily.

Was she sincere, or was there some conspiracy or other calculations involved?

However, seeing Yikali’s naive, silly, and sweet demeanor didn’t quite seem like it.

Perhaps she was sincere.

“Alright then,” Jiang Xu smiled, “how about we go to the company cafeteria for a meal?”

Yikali also smiled, “Okay, thank you Brother Xu~”

So, Jiang Xu took Yikali to have a meal at the company.

He had already eaten his fill, so he merely watched Yikali eat, occasionally moving his chopsticks.

“What about that investment matter?” Yikali asked again.

This time Jiang Xu didn’t refuse but carefully inquired what project she wanted to invest in.

Right, it’s the domestic TV drama industry.

This industry wasn’t crucial, nor was it about any patents, so naturally, she could invest if she wanted to.

Having more investors to share the costs and risks was also not a bad thing.

Yikali ate only a little before stopping.

Well, the cafeteria food was so-so.

She only found the food priced at a few or tens of yuan tasty the first time she tried it.

By the second time, it started to feel greasy.

For a girl from her kind of family, a meal would start at at least one hundred thousand yuan.

Afterward, Yikali signed a few contracts with Jiang Xu and he personally saw her off.

“Goodbye, Brother Xu,” Yikali waved at Jiang Xu.

“Take care, Miss Yikali.”

Only after the car drove away did the smile gradually fade from Yikali’s face, replaced by a thoughtful expression.

Of course, she couldn’t possibly just give up like that.

It wasn’t in her character.

From a young age, there was never anything she wanted that she couldn’t get.

“I was a bit too anxious, and the methods were too crude,” she said.

She earnestly analyzed and reviewed her actions, then considered ways to improve.

After thinking it over, she made a phone call to her team that served her, “Draw me up a detailed plan for pursuing Jiang Xu. I want it quickly, and with a high chance of success!”

————————

Jiang Xu went home too.

On the way, Jiang Xiaoyan sent him a message: What are you doing?

Jiang Xu: Heading home to eat the dinner Nuonuo made, and you?

Jiang Xiaoyan: I’m planning on killing you.

Jiang Xu: ???

Jiang Xiaoyan: Can you agree to do me a favor?
