Qi Xiuli’s aged face was flush with confusion. ‘Jiannan used to hate dealing with company matters. Why was she so proactive now?’ Jian Jianan used to be just a hot-headed airhead who never thought her words through,’ she thoughtAs she saw how confident Jian Jianan was, she sneered silently. ‘So what if she’s taking initiative? There’s no way Jian Jianan can convince Mr. Victor to cooperate with them in only two days!’ Qi Xiuli thought.“Aiya, how could I not believe in you? I was just worried
Seeing Mr. Victor’s raised eyebrows, she immediately spoke up “No, but I can learn!” “Sit! If you can beat me at chess, I will give you a chance to discuss the collaboration deal with me!”“Thank you very much!”Jian Jianan sat politely in the chair opposite Mr. Victor. Looking at the chess pieces on the table, she felt instantly doomed. Her grandfather liked to play chess too. He once wanted to teach her, but she was completely uninterested. She ran away faster than anyone ever could every tim
“I have lost. I am thankful to Mr. Victor for giving me a chance to learn chess from you. I will never forget what happened today for the rest of my life!”Jian Jianan’s demeanor was still respectful and polite. She did not show either despair or indignance at her loss.In the process of chess-playing, Mr. Victor gathered that Jian Jianan was composed, calm and focused. He could not relate her to the rumors of the unruly, obstinate girl who committed suicide and broke off an engagement with her
When Jian Ansheng heard the fact that Jian Jianan had successfully obtained the collaboration contract with Mr. Victor, he could not stop smiling the whole night. His facial expressions ranged from excitement, happiness, and also a deep sense of pride. “You are my daughter - like quiet and unassuming firecrackers, once ignited, you surprise everyone by burning bright! Nannan, seeing you progress, your father is so glad and relieved!”Jian Ansheng had been depressed and worried about the collabor
Even though North-South Pharmaceutical was recently pushed to the edge of public opinion, Jian Ansheng still managed to invite many powerful and renowned people with his wide connections. Jian Jianan used to hate attending these cocktail receptions in her past life. She thought them boring and uninteresting. Now, for the sake of the company, her father, and also herself, she was determined to spend a greater effort in accustoming herself to these social events.Qi Xiuli held Jian Ansheng’s arm a
Because of that, everyone pretended to be friendly to her, but despised Jian Jianan deep in their minds and hearts!Jian Jianan saw through their pretenses but did not want to state the obvious. They were just pretending. Anyone could pretend!Then, Jian Jianan caught a glimpse of Shen Linfeng, who was happily socializing with some CEOs from afar. Shen Linfeng seemed to notice her as well, excused himself from the CEOs, and strolled towards her.Jian Jianan subconsciously searched among the gues
Damn it, she was too careless. At first, she thought they would not dare try anything bad in public - so she did not think they would come up with such a dirty trick.‘They want to see her make a fool of herself in front of so many people and spoil her reputation?‘Hah! She would not give them the satisfaction.’ she thought.Tightly clenching her fists, the fingernails - freshly manicured just that morning - deeply cut into her palms. The pain kept her slightly awake. Suppressing the strong disc
Jian Jianan was close to unconsciousness on the bed. Suddenly, her eyes flew open. She was in horrible pain. There is no way, Qi Xiaorou would not be treating her with such hospitality and letting her rest, especially after drugging her. She dragged her wobbling legs to the entrance, supporting herself with the wall. Then, she heard Qi Xiaorou making a phone call outside.Five men!Qi Xiaorou was really treating her well!Pinching her palms so the sharp pain would keep her awake, Jian Jianan st
