Chapter 424: Chapter 424

Jiang Yongli had some doubts, but she immediately reined in her emotions and turned her anxiety into calmness.

"At Yelanxiang, half past ten."

"Less than an hour left?"

For Jiang Yongxing, time was somewhat tight; he was still in the hospital at the moment, and it was relatively far from Yelanxiang.

He might as well not change his clothes and go straight there; after all, he had just resolved to do so.

"Yes, Second Brother, will you go?"

"Alright, I’ll go," Jiang Yongxing answered, frowning.

At the moment, there was no good solution; perhaps a transformation held a glimmer of hope. He did not want to sell off his properties and leave his wife and child homeless.

He had no control over the affairs of the Jiang Group; his only option was to fight with his back to the river.

After coordinating everything, they hung up the phone,

With the addition of her Second Brother, Jiang Yongxing, Jiang Yongli felt slightly more at ease. She quickly put on her sunglasses and drove to Yelanxiang. Though she maintained her composure on the surface, her heart was filled with tension and anticipation for what was about to happen.

She had long admired Wang Jinhui. Besides empowering herself and avenging her niece, this was one of her major reasons for approaching Wang Junchen proactively.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yongli’s car slowly pulled into the parking lot of the private club, Yelanxiang.

Soon after, Jiang Yongxing also arrived.

"Did Big Brother say anything?" Jiang Yongli asked with concern once she got out of the car.

"No, he said nothing."

"It seems Big Brother still... never mind, let him be. We can’t force it; I hope everything goes smoothly."

"Last night, I had someone check—aside from Wanhua Jewelry, the Wang Family and the Leng Family don’t have any other business intersections, and they have always cooperated happily. I really cannot understand why Wang Junchen is targeting the Leng Family so specifically."

"Maybe it’s not that complicated; it could simply be a desire to make money. It just so happens the Leng Family is involved—people die for wealth as birds die for food, isn’t that the case?"

Jiang Yongxing nodded, "You’re right."

Yelanxiang had 12 private rooms, named after the months of the year, each exuding a different ambiance.

They entered the club to be greeted by warm lighting and a rich aroma. It was Jiang Yongli’s first visit, and she had expected it to be vibrant and full of bodyguards, but it wasn’t.

The place was filled with an air of freedom.

The paintings hanging on the walls were grand landscapes; the design of the sofas and chairs was exquisite, crafted by hand from premium materials—clearly expensive.

Ornaments and flowers were also abundant.

Additionally, there was a dedicated open bar area. The decor was understated and simple, eschewing excessive elements in favor of functionality and comfort.

The display case housed collector-level wines and spirits for guests to choose from freely.

Jiang Yongli silently marveled to herself: The owner really has taste, such a lavish investment must mean only the wealthy and powerful come here!

"What’s the matter, Yongli?"

"It’s nothing, it’s just my first time here, and I’m not quite used to it. It seems pretty nice, though I wonder about the cost—it mustn’t be cheap, right?"

"It operates on a membership basis," Jiang Yongxing replied with a thin smile, his reply laden with meaning.

He had been here before, so he was well aware.

"We should go now, it’s about time."

Jiang Yongli nodded awkwardly, then frowned and checked her phone again to confirm the room number and time, and continued inside.

Soon, the siblings stopped at the door of a private room named December.

"Good evening, do you have a reservation?" a bodyguard asked respectfully after opening the door.

Jiang Yongli was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and nodded, "Hello, we’re here to see Mr. Wang. My surname is Jiang, and we have an appointment at half past ten."

"Please wait a moment," the guard said.

Jiang Yongli looked sideways, and what caught her eye was an extremely luxurious private space, with dark blue carpets covering the floor, and a décor that was distinctly European—very different from the outside.

After a moment, the bodyguard quickly returned, indicating that they could enter.

Jiang Yongli and Jiang Yongxing followed the bodyguard, one after another, passing the huge fish tank, along the opulent display cases, toward the meeting room.

Beyond the bookshelves, they saw Wang Junchen leaning on the sofa, conversing with a middle-aged man.

They seemed very familiar with each other during their laughter and chat.

Jiang Yongli couldn’t help but frown slightly, a flicker of unease crossing her mind as she looked at her older brother, Jiang Yongxing. They both harbored doubts simultaneously, worrying that the man might indeed be a competitor.

They slowed their pace, keeping confident smiles on their faces despite the heavy thoughts occupying their minds.

"Mr. Wang, long time no see, sorry to interrupt," Jiang Yongli approached the mobile bar and took the initiative to greet Wang Junchen.

Seeing Jiang Yongxing accompanying her, Wang Junchen didn’t seem surprised and gestured with a smile, speaking softly, "Come, come, please have a seat."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Wang."

After sitting down, Jiang Yongli glanced nervously at the unfamiliar middle-aged man.

Ah, hopefully he’s not a competitor.

He doesn’t seem to be from Huang City—quite unfamiliar, I’ve never seen him before.

It’s a good thing big brother came along!

Jiang Yongli tried to identify the man’s identity and intentions, but without any clues, her anxiety only grew.

After all, she was the passive party, and currently, they didn’t have much advantage to compete with others.

Seeing this, Wang Junchen explained, "This is my friend who is very interested in our plan. I think his experience and resources might be helpful, so I brought him along."

"Oh, that’s great!" Jiang Yongli answered with a smile, then turning to the middle-aged man, "Hello, my name is Jiang Yongli, nice to meet you."

It was as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart!

The man stood up, extending his right hand and nodding slightly, "Hello Miss Jiang, Qin Feng."

"Jiang Yongxing, Yongli’s brother."

"Hello, Mr. Jiang, I’ve long heard of your esteemed reputation, it’s an honor to meet you," Qin Feng replied with a smile.

After brief introductions, everyone sat down.

Almost immediately, Jiang Yongxing got straight to the point, "Mr. Wang, first of all, thank you very much for making time to meet with us. We’re here for our company’s transformation and we hope to discuss the relevant details with you in person."

Wang Junchen nodded slightly, signaling for Jiang Yongxing to continue.

Qin Feng began pouring wine for everyone.

"We fully understand the current plight of the company and realize that transformation is an inevitable choice, but we still hope... that our mutual interests remain unaffected."

Wang Junchen pondered for a moment and then calmly responded, "I understand your concerns. The transformation of any company indeed requires the cooperation and financial support of all parties. We will quickly formulate a reasonable plan, taking into account the interests of all involved. I hope that we can all be candid with each other to achieve a win-win situation for both the company and individuals."

Jiang Yongli and Jiang Yongxing glanced at each other and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, they engaged in an in-depth discussion, thoroughly examining aspects such as transformation, financial investment, and market expansion.

Occasionally they raised their glasses, at times deep in thought.

In the course of the exchange, Jiang Yongli sensed Wang Junchen’s keen market insight and admired Qin Feng’s extensive connections, which dissolved her concerns and filled her with confidence in the plan.

Ultimately, they reached a consensus and established a preliminary scheme for transformation and cooperation. The most update n0vels are published on novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Only then did Jiang Yongxing inwardly breathe a sigh of relief, smiling as he lifted his glass toward Wang Junchen, "Mr. Wang, thank you for your generous assistance; through cooperation, we hope to maximize our mutual benefits."

"There’s no need for thanks, we’re all here to make money together!" Wang Junchen responded with a slight nod.

The four clinked their glasses and drained them in one go.

Jiang Yongli and Jiang Yongxing exchanged smiles. With these preliminary negotiations, they had secured the best possible outcome for themselves and the Jiang Family.

Shortly after, the siblings departed, feeling satisfied.

Once the door closed, Qin Feng immediately stood at attention to one side, facing Wang Junchen.

"It seems Miss Jiang Kexin truly knows nothing, Jiang Yongli actually believes her niece was simply unlucky to encounter Sun Quezi," Wang Junchen remarked, swirling his wine glass while a hint of a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.

"It’s all Jiang Kexin’s own doing. She has nobody but herself to blame, considering the wrongs she’s committed."

These words were exactly what Wang Junchen wanted to hear.

"Well, young girls ought to be kind-hearted. Being too malicious is not good indeed; harm to others can end up harming oneself."

"Boss, what’s the next step?"

"You’ve been in Chicheng for a while now, take this chance to get some fresh air. As for the ManQ Bar... Take care of what needs to be taken care of."

Qin Feng nodded slightly, "Understood, boss."
