"Brother, I understand..." Jiang Wenxuan wiped away her tears and nodded seriously: "I will not let you down."
"But..." Jiang Mingxian patted Jiang Wenxuan's shoulder gently and softened his tone: "No matter what, you are my sister after all. It is not the turn of outsiders to teach the young lady of the Jiang family."
Jiang Wenxuan's tears fell again: "Isn't it..."
"This is the tone. I will help you out. I just need to find out who this Ling Cang is first." Thinking back to everyone's previous meeting, Jiang Mingxian shook his head: "Actually, I also made a mistake. I went to treat this person. It was too simple. I just thought he was a high school student..."
"Then what are you going to do."
"Invite him to talk first."
Jiang Mingxian sent an assistant to invite Ling Cang very politely, saying that the Jiang family had something to discuss.
Ling Canggang and Lin Xue Ning talked about it. They were too lazy to move at first, but then they thought about it and thought they might as well see what kind of medicine was sold in the Jiang family's gourd. So they went there happily.
Jiang Mingxian received Ling Cang in the study with a straight face: "I already know about the bet you made with your roommate..."
"Really?" Ling Cang said straight to the point: "You don't think I bullied your sister, do you?"
Jiang Mingxian didn't expect Ling Cang to be so direct. He was stunned for a moment: "What do you think?"
"I don't think so."
"Then you will be disappointed. I don't think so." Jiang Mingxian looked at Ling Cang and said word for word: "You make my sister-in-law very angry and sad."
Ling Cang didn't speak at first. He looked directly into Jiang Mingxian's eyes with a calm expression.
For a moment, the two of them stared at each other. In fact, it was an invisible competition. Whoever has a stronger will and stronger aura can overwhelm the other.
Jiang Mingxian had seen countless people and thought that he would not lose to anyone. But after looking at Ling Cang for a while, he was a little shaken. Because Ling Cang's gaze was quite sharp. It penetrated people's lungs like a sharp blade. And Ling Cang Cang's next words further illustrate that he can accurately grasp the hearts of others: "If I'm not wrong, Mr. Jiang also thinks that your sister's behavior is somewhat inappropriate. But no matter what, this is your family matter. It's not my turn. What are you doing, little brat?"
"That's right." Jiang Mingxian nodded: "Also, my sister, Jiang Mingxian, can bully others, but she cannot be bullied by others."
"Well said. You have the demeanor of an elder brother. I can feel how much you want to protect your family. But..." Ling Cang suddenly smiled and said sarcastically: "This comes from your mouth, Jiang Mingxian." Come out. It still makes people laugh."
"how you said that."
"You are not an ordinary person. You are the head of the Jiang family. What is the Jiang family?" Ling Cang paused and gave the answer himself: "An ancient family that has been passed down for hundreds of years and is powerful today. In my case, It seems that aristocratic families are nobles to a certain extent. Their behavior must be different from ordinary people. At least they must have an open mind and tolerance for others. If they cannot do these two things, with all due respect, I am afraid that the Jiang family will not be what it is today. status."
"Well said."
"That's why I think Mr. Jiang's words are extremely funny. If you can't tolerate an ordinary high school student like me, it will really harm the Jiang family's style." Ling Cang shrugged his shoulders: Ling Cang's sarcasm became more intense: "If that's true, then... I’m afraid you don’t have to do anything else all day long. Just vent your anger on your family everywhere.”
"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable at such a young age..." Jiang Mingxian's face felt a little hot, because what Ling Cang said was reasonable. The family attaches great importance to reputation and honor. Ling Cang grasped this accurately. a little.
"I can't take it seriously. I can't say it's insightful. I'm just sharing my personal feelings."
"But..." Jiang Mingxian said slowly in a long voice: "You still misunderstood."
"oh."
"I invite you to come this time to ask about your affairs with your sister. It's just on one hand. On the other hand, it's to express my gratitude."
"Other than giving my sister a small lesson, I didn't seem to do much."
Jiang Mingxian discovered that Ling Cang had been on an equal footing with him from the beginning, not only in terms of social status but also in age. After this conversation, Jiang Mingxian could no longer regard Ling Cang as a child: " Mr. Ling is very forgetful... Since you last talked to Pudding, Pudding has never left home again."
"That's what you're talking about." Ling Cang calmed down and said, "I am a very enthusiastic person. As long as I can help others, I am always willing to do it."
Jiang Mingxian's biggest feeling at this time was that not only was Ling Cang's mental age much older than his appearance, but he was also a bit shameless in his actions. The last time Ling Cang agreed to persuade Cao Bingqi, it was not for free, but on the condition that he marry Jiang Wenxuan.
However, Jiang Mingxian didn't mention it. He pretended to have forgotten about it: "I'm glad Mr. Ling said that."
"You're welcome." In fact, Ling Cang felt the same as Jiang Mingxian.
These days, there are two types of people who are the most terrifying. One is rich and powerful, and the other is shameless. Ling Cang feels that he is both rich and shameless. Having both, he is already invincible.
"I just don't know if Mr. Ling knows why Pudding always runs away."
This question is very meaningful. Jiang Mingxian wants to know how much Ling Cang knows about the Jiang family.
Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing. Ling Cang immediately pretended to be confused: "Don't say it. I never asked. Pudding didn't say anything. I just told her. If she runs away from home endlessly, Lin Xuening and I will move. Then she will have nowhere to go and will have no choice but to live on the streets."
Jiang Mingxian smiled and nodded: "So that's it."
"Actually..." Ling Cang looked at Jiang Mingxian. Suddenly the conversation changed: "Mr. Jiang didn't invite me. I also want to visit him."
"Any advice?"
"I want to do business with you."
"Do you think the Jiang family needs to cooperate with others?"
"Of course not. The Jiang family's wealth is huge. Even a penny can sometimes stump a hero..." Ling Cang returned to his usual appearance without any expression. It was hard to tell what was going on in his heart: "The Jiang family needs money. Money. The capital is 200 million."
Jiang Mingxian raised his eyebrows slightly and questioned: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Ling Cang nodded with certainty: "Of course. Mr. Jiang doesn't have to admit it. Then we don't have to talk about it."
"Okay. I admit it. Although I can't think of how you know it." Jiang Mingxian nodded heavily. He didn't hide anything: "We are currently fighting for a project. We need to come up with financial guarantees in advance. We are still short of 200 million. "
"I happen to have 200 million." Ling Cang took out the check and put it in front of Jiang Mingxian: "I hope I can help you."
Until later, the Jiang family still couldn't figure out how Ling Cang knew that the Jiang family needed money. The amount happened to be 200 million.
In fact, the truth is very simple. When Ling Cang and Jiang Wenxuan were quarreling, Jiang Wenxuan asked for money before the bet came into being. And Jiang Wenxuan is not an ordinary woman. She has higher pursuits besides money. She is not short of money at all. She doesn't talk about money like ordinary vulgar women. So this already explains the problem.
In addition, through observation, Ling Cang found that Jiang Wenxuan had a sad look between her eyebrows, so he deduced that the Jiang family encountered financial difficulties.
"Mr. Ling doesn't know the Jiang family." Jiang Mingxian said calmly without even looking at the check: "Our Jiang family has always been cautious about borrowing money."
"You misunderstood. I don't want to lend you money. I want to invest in the Jiang family."
"What." Even though the city was very deep, Jiang Mingxian couldn't hide his surprise at this time. No one has ever made a similar request in the past many years.
"I mean. I want to have a place in the Jiang family's business."
"Why."
"Because I believe I can receive great rewards."
"Do you think I will agree?"
"I don't know." Ling Cang shook his head very frankly: "I don't want to list here one by one why the Jiang family should accept me. But I believe that Mr. Jiang has a sufficient understanding of me as a person and must have a sense of proportion in his heart. After I join, what benefits, negative effects, or no effects will it bring to the Jiang family? I'm afraid Mr. Jiang knows better than I do."
"That's right." Jiang Mingxian nodded slowly: "So. I agree."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Ling Cang generously extended his hand to Jiang Mingxian: "When will the legal procedures be completed? It depends on Mr. Jiang's convenience."
"I will do it as soon as possible." Jiang Mingxian shook hands with Ling Cang. Then he said: "But I also want to tell you. Although we need these 200 million now, this fund can only account for 100% of the Jiang family's funds. Two shares.”
"No problem." Ling Cang smiled easily. In fact, the difference in how many shares he can hold in the Jiang family is only a quantitative difference. Whether he can invest in the Jiang family is a qualitative difference.
Owning shares in the Jiang family's company means that you have formed a community of interests with the Jiang family. It has the nature of a quasi-alliance. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can definitely get the protection of the Jiang family. What's more, this investment can still Receive great rewards.
Ling Cang stood up and said goodbye. Jiang Mingxian went out to see him off. When he came back, Jiang Mingxian found Jiang Wenxuan sitting in the study room angrily.
Jiang Wenxuan had been hiding behind the door and eavesdropping. When she learned that Ling Cang was going to buy a stake in the Jiang family, she almost rushed in to stop her. At this time, she had already forgotten how Ling Cang had humiliated herself. She couldn't wait to question Jiang Mingxian: "Brother, why are you Promise him."
"Because we are really short of money now. And this project can get a 200% return. It is really a rare opportunity."
"But...even if we give up this project, there is no reason to let outsiders enter our family business."
"What I'm talking about is only one factor..." Jiang Mingxian looked at Jiang Wenxuan's burning look. He smiled and shook his head: "Family businesses have advantages, but they also have some disadvantages that are difficult to overcome. They can only be solved by bringing in outsiders."
"what is the problem."
"For example, even if our ancestors are very competitive with our generation, who can be sure that the children and grandchildren of the future generations will not be embarrassed? It's hard to say whether there will be some unscrupulous people who take advantage of their yellow jacket status to do whatever they want. Also, there are too many people in the family. It is easy for internal conflicts to arise. But as long as there are outsiders, they can act as a check and balance." Jiang Mingxian sighed. Jiang Mingxian said with emotion: "You don't know if you are not a leader. We have encountered many problems in recent years. These are things that other aristocratic families do not have. And the companies run by other aristocratic families have other people participating in the shares. This is the difference. Therefore, I have been thinking recently whether it is short-sighted to stick to the family business. Should I Be more open-minded and attract others to participate. In this way, it not only solves many problems, but also helps to expand our network of contacts."
"But there's no need for you to let that Ling Cang in."
"This Ling Cang is not simple..." Jiang Mingxian took a deep breath and thoughtfully told his sister: "Back then, he was with Pudding all day long, so I had to be on guard, so I had someone investigate. .It turns out that his life experience is very mysterious. Although I can’t tell exactly what it started with, I’m sure it has a lot of background.”
"Background. Him." Jiang Wenxuan snorted disdainfully: "There is no background, but there is a back. His body is not upright. Even the shadow is slanted. From my point of view, he is not a big deal. It's just that his parents died early. So... He left such money. In the past, he never knew how to spend it. Now he finally found an opportunity to use it to make a fortune."
"By the way. Also, he has two girlfriends. One is Lin Xuening, the chairman of Lin Energy. The other is Shen Fanlei, the eldest daughter of the Shen family. These two girls are not something ordinary people can catch. As a result, Ling Cang took over alone." Jiang Mingxian did not tell his sister apart. He continued: "I got the news from the Shen family. Shen Minglin has acquiesced in the relationship between the two. If they can really get together, it will be equivalent to us. It indirectly consolidated the alliance with the Shen family."
Regarding Ling Cang's personal emotional affairs, Jiang Wenxuan only vaguely heard a little bit from Cao Bingqi. She had never taken it seriously in the past. Now when she heard Jiang Mingxian say this, she was shocked and murmured: "He We already have Shen Fanlei and Lin Xuening... Let's put it this way. If I really follow him, I will still have to give him a child."
Jiang Mingxian didn't hear clearly: "What did you say."
"Oh...it's nothing. It's nothing..." She glanced at Jiang Mingxian. Jiang Wenxuan asked again: "Although what you said makes sense, have you ever thought about what to do if he has bad intentions?"
"There's no need to worry about this." Jiang Mingxian waved his hand: "For one thing, if he had any ill intentions, he would have had the chance to do it long ago. There is no need to wait until now. The few days he and Pudding have been together are an opportunity that can be fully exploited. But I heard from Pudding that he has done quite well in all aspects; secondly, to take a step back, even if this is the case, the Shen family will definitely be unlucky before us; thirdly, it is only 2% of the shares. .How big a storm do you think he can make?"
