At the end of the workday, Su Qing encountered Jiang Fan at the company's entrance. Jiang Fan touched his stomach and whispered,
"Is there food at the dinner banquet?"
"It's a buffet."
"Is it free?"
"You miser, go drive the car!"
Su Qing had one advantage: communicating with her saved time and effort. She was a woman who didn't fuss over trifles.
Having driven Tang Wan's Alfa Romeo Giulietta a few times before switching to this large Raptor, Jiang Fan felt a bit uneasy. The accelerator was very sensitive; a slight press would send the speed soaring to around 80. Before getting into the car, Jiang Fan tossed an unimportant document to Su Qing, with no other intention than to have some peace and quiet on the way.
But he underestimated Su Qing's intelligence. This woman wasn't dressed华丽 today. She wore a white shirt with a floral collar, a dark blue blazer, cropped trousers paired with white heels about four to five centimeters high, and her wine-red hair was casually tied up. Her light makeup made her seem like a different person.
"Look look, what's the use of looking at me? Watch the traffic lights!"
How could such an enchanting woman have just one mouth? God opens a door for you but definitely closes a window. Jiang Fan sighed softly and focused on driving. After about ten minutes, Su Qing spoke again.
"Jiang Fan, I think I understand. You still want to open a mall, just not selling clothes or similar items. But you also see that the opposite commodity city and decoration city are only two-story buildings, and we're on this side of the road. Now, the commodity city is the customers' first choice, and then they go to RT-Mart to buy some snacks and groceries. They won't choose to come to our mall. The direction is opposite, and our prices aren't competitive with RT-Mart's."
"I know. Two stories are too few. The design sketch is for a four-story building. I calculated that the height should be sufficient. We won't have any conflicts with RT-Mart Fortune Street. I'm a novice driver, so don't disturb me."
"Are you so confident? Jiang Fan, give me a hint, please. I'm begging you, okay?"
"The planning for 'Armed World' was done by me alone. I sold it to someone else for money. Is that answer okay?"
Su Qing was stunned. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Fan with suspicion in her eyes. 'Armed World' was formerly known as Changxiang Department Store, a mall that was about to collapse under the joint impact of Rongyao Department Store and Lao Baihuo. Later, Changxiang suddenly underwent a major overhaul, renaming the department store to 'Armed World'. It not only saved the mall from closing its doors but also received praise from government units, claiming that the Changxiang Group considered the common people and didn't solely focus on money. Afterward, the application for 'Armed World' received a smooth approval process.
Planned by Jiang Fan?
Su Qing had some doubts. At this moment, Jiang Fan laughed self-deprecatingly. Looking at the red light ahead, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it between his lips, laughing self-deprecatingly.
"In the autumn three years ago, the legal department of Changxiang seemed to be busy with a case, right? And then suddenly, the case was suppressed and withdrawn. Should I tell you the details?"
Click.
Su Qing didn't know where she got a lighter and ignited the cigarette between Jiang Fan's lips. When she withdrew the lighter, she shook her head slightly.
"I don't want to know, and don't tell me. I'm crazy, so I don't want to provoke another crazy person. A woman shouldn't be easily curious about a man."
Jiang Fan opened the window and took a deep breath of the smoke, then threw the rest out of the window. He pressed the accelerator, and the Raptor rushed out like a roaring beast. He thought of something: Tang Wan would be at the dinner banquet tonight, so Lin Xuan would also appear.
It's time to meet!
The car stopped at the parking lot at the main entrance. Jiang Fan opened the car door and got out. Suddenly, a black Mercedes-Benz coupe cut across in a black arc and stopped next to the Raptor. The door opened, and Tang Wan stepped out from the passenger seat, wearing the white fairy dress that Jiang Fan had given her. Jiang Fan detected deep worry and anger in Tang Wan's gaze towards him.
He almost hit Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan did go to Rongyao, and there weren't many scarlet Raptors in the whole city.
The door of the driver's seat was opened, and a handsome man with slicked-back hair and a sharp face like a knife came down, squeezed the buttons of his suit, jogged around the front of the car, and asked urgently,
"Wanwan."
Jiang Fan's face instantly darkened. From this familiar greeting, he already knew the identity of this man. Lin Xuan looked Tang Wan up and down, and then noticed that Tang Wan's eyes were angrily staring at the man before her.
Lin Xuan immediately exclaimed angrily,
"Don't you have eyes? Don't you know to check if there are any cars when opening the door? You deserve to be killed by a crappy driver."
Lin Xuan wanted to vent his anger for Tang Wan. As the future chairman of Changxiang Group, how could he not know his opponent? Tang Wan knew that this scarlet Raptor belonged to Su Qing, and Lin Xuan also knew it. He didn't think Jiang Fan was a high-level person because Su Qing didn't allow others to touch her car, especially not men. Su Qing had a powerful backer.
Jiang Fan ignored Lin Xuan and grinned at Tang Wan. At this moment, the passenger door of the Raptor was pushed open, and a sarcastic voice came.
"Oh? I thought it was who was swaggering in front of our Jiang Fan. It's Lin, the overseas returnee! My respects, my respects. Why not crash into each other? Let's see if your crappy Mercedes is harder or my beloved scarlet Raptor is stronger?"
Our?
Fan?
Cold sweat instantly dripped down Jiang Fan's forehead. He noticed that Tang Wan's eyes had changed. There was no worry, only anger and murderous intent staring at Jiang Fan. Tang Wan gritted her teeth and said in a low voice,
"Whose is it?"
To avoid a conflict between Jiang Fan and Lin Xuan, Tang Wan didn't mention Jiang Fan's name, but Su Qing had already walked to Jiang Fan's side, hooked her arm around his, and smiled,
"Of course, Jiang Fan is ours. What's the matter? Does Tang Vice President know Jiang Fan?"
Jiang Fan?
Lin Xuan's face was stunned, and then he thought of the way Tang Wan hurriedly got out of the car and the guy who shouted on the phone the day before yesterday. Various scenes appeared in Lin Xuan's mind, and anger rushed to his head. Did this guy get there first?
He punched straight at Jiang Fan's face. This kind of person from the countryside wouldn't cause too much trouble even if he was killed.
"Lin Xuan!"
Tang Wan shouted angrily when she saw Lin Xuan making a move, but at this time, the fist was already very close to Jiang Fan. Before Jiang Fan could react, the fist had already landed on his face. Jiang Fan, who was hit, didn't hesitate at all. He lifted his leg and kicked Lin Xuan in the abdomen. What president or not? They all had one head and two legs. Why should he be afraid?
Tang Wan stopped Lin Xuan who was preparing to retaliate, while Su Qing had already taken off her high heels and held them high. If Lin Xuan dared to come forward, she would dare to use the heel to crush his head. Now Jiang Fan was a member of her company and also someone she needed to value. At the same time, she also remembered that she had indeed heard the name Jiang Fan before.
Tang Wan stood in front of Lin Xuan with a murderous look on her face, facing away from Jiang Fan, and said in a low voice,
"Mr. Lin, do you still want people to laugh at Changxiang? Look where this is!"
"But Wanwan, he..."
"This is between me and him."
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, patted the dust on his body, looked at Jiang Fan with cold eyes, snorted, and walked towards the main entrance of Weijing. Tang Wan turned around and looked at Jiang Fan. Her right cheek was slightly swollen. Tang Wan looked at Su Qing again and turned away.
Jiang Fan's eyes were cold, staring at Lin Xuan's back for a long time without being able to regain his composure. At this time, Su Qing put on her high heels and giggled,
"I felt familiar when I heard the name Jiang Fan. It turned out to be the man who suddenly married Tang Vice President three years ago. This matter is not a secret in the upper circle. Oh! It's quite interesting to encounter an old lover as an ex-husband. Your ex-wife is also interesting. Is it because you didn't want me to guess your relationship by not talking to you? Haha, silly and annoying."
Jiang Fan slowly turned his head, his face was iron-gray. Su Qing immediately raised her hand and spoke in a slightly grieved tone,
"Hey? You won't hit me, right? I've always been helping you."
