Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1274: Chapter 1220: Don’t Worry, I’m Here_2

Jiang Hao shot Guo Yueyao a meaningful glance.

Feeling Jiang Hao’s gaze on herself, Guo Yueyao suddenly shivered, realizing that she might have misspoken!

What the hell was that ”I know him too well”? Wasn’t this just reminding Jiang Hao that she considered Li Ni a backup?

Even though she had sworn by Li Ni’s testimony that there had been no hand-holding or any other intimate actions between them, who could guarantee that Jiang Hao wouldn’t overthink it...

Guo Yueyao quickly shut her mouth.

Jiang Hao coldly observed Li Ni from afar.

”This kid, I thought he was a friend and classmate. I wanted to help him by bringing him here, but who would have thought... he’d end up causing trouble for me!”

As Jiang Hao spoke, his gaze turned icy.

During the wait.

Director Jiang’s assistant, Zhou Mei, from Xue Lian Wan He, came over with a cart of refreshments.

”You all have been working hard, please have some water first,” Zhou Mei said with a charming smile, instructing her staff to hand out teas to everyone.

Those waiting expressed their thanks in a hurry.

The tea handed out was in paper cups, with tea bags in them.

However, upon seeing Jiang Hao, Zhou Mei personally took a white porcelain tea cup from the cart and handed it to him, saying with a smile, ”Mr. Jiang, right? This is your black tea. Director Jiang will arrive shortly, and you’ll be the first to present your project.”

The stark contrast in treatment was obviously superior to the rest!

Others, everyone there, were shocked as they looked at Jiang Hao!

What background does this gentleman have?! Their looks were filled with surprise.

Suddenly becoming the focal point of everyone’s attention, Jiang Hao also felt a touch of pride, taking the tea and smiling broadly at Zhou Mei, ”Thank you for your hard work, Miss Zhou.”

”You’re welcome,” Zhou Mei said with a sweet smile, stunningly beautiful.

Guo Yueyao moved closer to Jiang Hao, a touch of jealousy in her eyes and vigilance in her gesture, as if declaring her power.

Zhou Mei’s expression remained unchanged, continuing to smile.

The reason she treated Jiang Hao this way was entirely for the sake of Jiang Zun. If her attention was to be vested, it would be on Jiang Zun.

This Jiang Hao, she wasn’t interested in the slightest.

”Mr. Jiang, do you have any other requests?” Zhou Mei asked with a smile.

Jiang Hao’s eyes flickered, lowering his voice to say a few words to Zhou Mei.

Zhou Mei was slightly startled, glanced to the side, and with a smile, nodded her head.

The refreshments were handed out all the way down the line.

When it came to Bai Xiaosheng and his colleagues, however, what the staff handed out was lukewarm plain water, barely half a paper cup full, just enough to moisten the throat.

Engrossed in conversation, Bai Xiaosheng and Li Ni didn’t mind at all and even politely thanked the person handing out the water.

During the half day, Li Ni told Bai Xiaosheng many extraordinary stories about his great-grandfather, including accidental discoveries of new crafts, the distinguished people he met in his early years, and serendipitous methods of selecting and preparing clay.

These stories, which seemed like something out of a legend, fascinated Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng, in turn, talked about the commercial operation of the purple clay industry, a field in which Li Ni was not skilled, discussing marketing and promotion of Li Ni’s future works, among other related issues, all with astute and innovative perspectives.

Originally intimidated by the world of commerce and seeing it as a hassle, Li Ni found it incredibly interesting to listen to Bai Xiaosheng.

The two were completely engrossed in their topic, oblivious to the world around them.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, however, sensed that something was amiss. Since earlier, they had noticed Jiang Hao whispering to the female assistant, who also glanced at them.

Sure enough, was this petty act meant to vex them?

The fragrance of tea filled the corridor, yet they were the only ones with this lukewarm water.

Lin Weiwei was on the verge of standing up in indignation.

You treat him like this when the big boss arrives, and you’re all looking to leave, huh? Lin Weiwei bristled with anger.

As Lin Weiwei started to rise, someone suddenly grabbed her arm, and she was stunned.

While chatting and laughing with Li Ni, Bai Xiaosheng had grabbed her arm.

Bai Xiaosheng had noticed, but he simply didn’t care.

Lei Ying stayed silent, swallowed the water in his cup in one gulp, crushed the paper cup, and casually tossed it, precisely landing it in the trash bin three to four meters away.

Lin Weiwei sat down sulkily, very displeased.

”Heh, what composure, such endurance,” Jiang Hao, on the other side, sneered secretly at Bai Xiaosheng and his company’s lack of reaction.

If these small tricks can’t disgust you, then later, I’ll make sure your trip was in vain and embarrass you in front of everyone! Let’s see if your skins are thick enough then! Jiang Hao was confident he could accomplish this.

Because Jiang Zun would surely listen to him.

Jiang Zun’s mother died early; his father never remarried, and from childhood, Jiang Zun was cared for by Jiang Hao’s mother, who was very obedient to her and treated Jiang Hao like his own brother, complying with every whim!

That’s why Jiang Hao was so confident.

...

Soon, a group of people approached from the end of the corridor, drawing everyone’s attention.

They were all in formal attire, led by a very stylish man in his mid-thirties, who exuded an aura of authority and an air of pride on his face.

Zhou Mei immediately went to greet him.

Jiang Zun had arrived.

”Everyone, thank you for your patience. We will get started shortly,” Jiang Zun greeted the entrepreneurs present with a brief nod, and without waiting for a response, he led the group into the adjacent conference room.

Handsome, aloof, and proud.

Everyone present got a more intuitive impression of this HR Director and Senior Investment Advisor, young and promising by any measure.

After Jiang Zun and his group entered the conference room, Zhou Mei stood at the door holding a list, smiling and saying to the crowd, ”Please come over when I call your name.”

Everyone was instantly earnest.

”Mr. Jiang Hao,” Zhou Mei looked at Jiang Hao with a smile and called out aloud.

All eyes turned to Jiang Hao as he stood up, and the crowd murmured in surprise.
