Chapter 52: Awkward Situation
When Qian Mang came back to his senses, Jiang Tong had already walked toward the restaurant. Qian Mang hurriedly chased after her and said in a low voice, “Miss Jiang, don’t be in a hurry to leave. Tell me more about their…”
“There are some things that I don’t need to say. You just need to see it for yourself. When the time comes, you will have many answers to the questions you have,” Jiang Tong said mysteriously.
Jiang Tong and Qian Mang returned to the restaurant together. Qian Mang had to go upstairs to discuss some matters, while Jiang Tong returned to Zhou Jingyun’s side. When she walked into the restaurant, Jiang Tong saw two middle-aged men sitting at the table where they were eating. They looked like they were exchanging greetings with Zhou Jingyun. It seemed that while she and Qian Mang were out, another acquaintance came over to greet Zhou Jingyun.
“Chairman Qian, I’ll go over first,” Jiang Tong said to Qian Mang and was about to leave, but Qian Mang grabbed her hand. Qian Mang pulled Jiang Tong and whispered into her ear, “You better not be lying to me, or else you will know the consequences!” The two of them leaned close to each other. In the eyes of outsiders, their relationship was not an ordinary one.
Jiang Tong glanced at Qian Mang’s hand and raised her valiant eyebrows. She said, “What if I’m not lying to you?”
Qian Mang replied, “Then you will become my younger sister! I will take care of you in City Z!”
Jiang Tong curled her lips and said, “I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no need to… take care of me.” She had been repeating this cycle for five hundred years. If there were still things that she couldn’t handle, then her five hundred years of life would have been wasted.

In the end, Qian Mang let go of Jiang Tong and hurried upstairs. Jiang Tong ruffled her hair, which had been messed up by the wind. She walked towards Zhou Jingyun, and after taking a few steps, she stopped. That was because the person who was talking to Zhou Jingyun was a bit special. One of them was called Ji Min, the manager of the Ji Corporation, and also Ji Lanzhou’s uncle. And she had just slept with Ji Lanzhou yesterday!
“Alright, Mr. Ji. In the future, if there is an opportunity, we will definitely work together.” Zhou Jingyun stood up and shook hands with Ji Min. The Ji family had absolute control over the pharmaceutical industry and had a certain connection with the development of cosmetics. They could jointly develop medicine and make-up. Currently, the skincare products under Jingyun Fashion had just been established. Although they were developing rapidly, they definitely could not be compared to the Ji family in terms of scientific research ability in the pharmaceutical and biological industries. The Ji family had scientific research bases and laboratories both domestically and abroad. Therefore, if Jingyun Fashion really wanted to enter the field of medicine and make-up when their own research and development ability was insufficient, they had to work together with the Ji family.
Jiang Tong rubbed her nose and walked over to ask, “What are you talking about?”
“This is?” Ji Min turned to look at Jiang Tong.
“Mr. Ji, this is my girlfriend, Jiang Tong,” Zhou Jingyun introduced.
Jiang Tong and Ji Min shook hands. They could be considered acquaintances, but Ji Min’s attitude was a little too passionate. It was as if he already knew Jiang Tong’s identity. He was not surprised by Zhou Jingyun’s introduction at all.
“Okay, then I won’t disturb your date.” After Ji Min said that, he walked out of the restaurant. Jiang Tong looked in the direction he left and instantly understood why Ji Min’s attitude was a little strange. It was because he had not just come to the Taste Pavilion. Ji Min had just finished eating on the second floor. When he saw Zhou Jingyun, he came over to say hello. Obviously, he had heard what had happened downstairs when he was upstairs.
Although Qian Mang was not the richest person in City Z, he was definitely the most famous person in City Z’s business circle and had the most friends! What had just happened downstairs had probably already attracted the attention of the customers on the second floor. Even a small commotion at a top-class restaurant like the Taste Pavillion would attract attention, not to mention the fact that this incident also involved Qian Mang. Therefore, Ji Min wasn’t surprised by Jiang Tong’s identity. This was because he had known of Jiang Tong’s existence long before he had gone downstairs, and had many guesses as to who she was.
After they left, Jiang Tong and Zhou Jingyun sat down once more. Their first ‘date’ could be said to have been filled with twists and turns.
“Do you know that person?” Zhou Jingyun suddenly asked.
“Ji Min, the person in charge of the Ji Corporation’s medicine department.” Jiang Tong leaned back in her chair and spoke slowly. When Zhou Jingyun introduced him, he had only mentioned Ji Min’s surname, not his full name.
“You really are an intelligence dealer. Is there anyone in Z City that you don’t know?” It was unclear whether Zhou Jingyun’s words were praise or ridicule.
“Of course. I’m a professional,” Jiang Tong raised her glass and smiled.
Zhou Jingyun also raised his glass and put it down. He picked up two mouthfuls of food and asked Jiang Tong, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”
