For Jiang Feng, he's not a saint, nor does he disdain money.
But he also knows that once he accepts Jia Youcai's gift, he'll be tied to Jia Youcai in a community of interest, and he'll inevitably have to do some things for Jia Youcai in the future, complicating matters.
He still prefers to handle things according to his own personal principles and doesn't want too much trouble.
However, if it's just a small favor from Jia Youcai for Fengming, that's no problem.
Just consider it a lift between friends, with no strings attached.
As for why Bai Zhiqing was shocked, it's simple—she thought Jiang Feng suddenly made such a request for her!
After all, she is the one in Fengming Company specifically responsible for physical sales and liaisons!
And Bai Zhiqing knows better than anyone that given the financial power of Jia's Industry, if there's any cooperation with Fengming, it would be no less than collaborating with giants like Fengyu Group and Chu Group!
At that time, Fengming could rocket up instantly, possibly even entering the ranks of second-tier companies in Binhai in the shortest time!
Jia Youcai was stunned for a moment when he heard Jiang Feng's request: "Brother Jiang, are you kidding me? What kind of request is this? Doing business for profit is only natural, isn't it? And I've heard that Fengming Company, though small in scale now, has great prospects! So it's settled, I'll have someone go to Fengming to conduct a survey, and I'll agree to any potentially cooperative projects, letting Fengming name their conditions!"
This is where Jia Youcai's cleverness lies!
He agreed to cooperate with Fengming, naturally drawn by Jiang Feng working there as security, to get closer to Jiang Feng.
But he deliberately didn't say that, instead saying it's just business for wealth, leaving no room for misinterpretation, so Jiang Feng wouldn't have to owe him a favor.
"Since that's the case, let me thank you in advance." Jiang Feng also fully understood Jia Youcai's intention and said calmly.
"Haha, alright, let's have a drink to warm up for the cooperation between our two companies!" Jia Youcai laughed heartily, personally filling Jiang Feng's glass and clinking with him.
Jiang Feng clinked glasses with him and downed the drink in one go.
At this point, Bai Zhiqing, who had been in a state of intense excitement, spoke up: "President Jia, I also want to thank you for giving Fengming such an opportunity! I represent our manager to assure you that we will cooperate well and not disappoint your expectations!"
Due to her excitement, Bai Zhiqing's charming face was flushed, and her smile was extremely enchanting, mesmerizing everyone.
"Don't thank me, thank Brother Jiang instead."
Jia Youcai grinned, "Brother Jiang is lucky, having such a beautiful lady like Miss Bai by his side! With Miss Bai's beauty, she could rival those famous models and actresses on TV!"
"Swoosh!" Bai Zhiqing instantly blushed a bright red!
Although she knew Jia Youcai was teasing her kindly, she couldn't help but feel a flutter in her heart for that moment.
She hurriedly took a sip of her drink to calm herself, then, with enchanting eyes like peach blossoms, she secretly glanced at Jiang Feng with deep meaning...
...
Jiang Feng and Jia Youcai had a pleasant conversation in the private room, initially reaching a cooperation agreement.
However outside, Zou Jingtian and Bai Yanting and others made complete fools of themselves, almost collapsing!
They had never been so humiliated in their lives!
The more embarrassed and downtrodden they were, the deeper their hatred for Jiang Feng grew, reaching an irreconcilable level by now!
Finally, when Jia Youcai finished chatting with Jiang Feng, he personally escorted Jiang Feng and Bai Zhiqing out, allowing them to stand up.
"Jia... President Jia!" Zou Jingtian forced out a smile and called out.
At this moment, his legs were numb, his brain severely deprived of blood, and he felt dizzy as he stood, almost knocked over by a gust of wind.
"Hmm?" Bai Zhiqing was very surprised; she didn't expect her cousin and her cousin-in-law's group hadn't left yet!
"Why are you still here? A bunch of blind fools, get lost!"
Jia Youcai seemed to have forgotten about these people, impatiently waving his hand and reprimanding them coldly back.
Zou Jingtian and others' expressions were worse than having eaten feces!
Wasn't it him who made us kneel here without moving? Now he dismisses us like flies, they felt endlessly aggrieved...
Jiang Feng glanced lightly at Zou Jingtian and others, said nothing, and directly took Bai Zhiqing back to the Audi.
Behind them, Jia Youcai personally escorted them, as if sending off distinguished guests!
The scene made Zou Jingtian and others tremble all over, furious to their cores!
There's a saying "to kill someone is no more than to sentence to death," yet this Jiang is too arrogant, trampling their self-esteem worse than dung!
"That Jiang guy is too confident! And Bai Zhiqing, was she mocking me? This is absurd, I've never lost to her this miserably in my life!"
Bai Yanting covered her swollen and red knees with her hands, gritting her teeth!
"Don't worry, they won't be in the spotlight for long!" Zou Jingtian said coldly, "Young Master Ling will arrive tomorrow! Jia Youcai is nothing before the Han Family, let alone a poor security guard!"
Tonight he might have lost face, but there's still a chance for a comeback!
As long as Young Master Ling arrives in Nantong tomorrow, he'll have a chance to turn the tables!
"Should we continue with the plan?" Bai Yanting asked again.
"Of course! Although forcing your cousin to accompany Sang Biao tonight may have upset her, listen to me, apologize to her tomorrow, and by all means necessary, don't let her back out, she must remain your bridesmaid so that we have the leverage to win over Young Master Ling!" Zou Jingtian advised.
"Hmph, it's infuriating! That wench, making me plead with her, it's so humiliating!"
"Small endurance for greater plans, bear it for now! Once we achieve success and glory, wouldn't both she and Jiang Feng have to live according to our whims? We will have the opportunity to get back at them later! When the time comes, you can vent however you wish, and I'll support you!" Zou Jingtian promised confidently!
...
Jiang Feng and Bai Zhiqing returned home, and sure enough, Zheng Xiulan and Bi Wenmo had already gone to bed.
After all, it was late at night, and tomorrow was the last day before the wedding, with many relatives coming over, they would be very busy, and the couple couldn't afford to stay up late.
Bai Zhiqing changed into slippers at the door, found a pair for Jiang Feng, and blushingly said in a whisper, "Xiao Feng, I'm going to take a shower first, you can go after me."
"Okay."
Jiang Feng always felt slightly awkward in this situation with Bai Zhiqing, but there was no other way; since he decided to come back home, he could only pretend to be calm.
Watching Bai Zhiqing with her bare white feet heading to the bathroom, Jiang Feng returned to the couch and sat down.
He took out his phone, finding many missed messages from Nangong Qingcheng, Chu Feifei, Liu Shiyuan, Feng Yueji, Murong Qian, and even Zhang Qinyao, asking where he'd been all day.
It seemed Jiang Feng had been missing all day, drawing much concern from the girls.
Jiang Feng replied to them one by one, telling them he was out these two days, not to worry.
Just after finishing the replies, suddenly, Bai Zhiqing's slightly shy and soft voice came from the bathroom: "Xiao Feng, where are you, can you do me a favor?"
"What's up?" Jiang Feng put down his phone, stood up, and asked.
"I forgot to bring my change of underwear, it's in my bag, could you find two pieces and bring them over..." Bai Zhiqing's voice was filled with shyness and an enchanting allure.
