âThis is more like it.â Joes raised her eyebrows.
She crossed her arms and pondered for a moment. Then, she looked at Jianghai, as if she could see through his dirty heart.
Jiang hai could not help but feel a little guilty as he said,ââPresident Qiao, why do you keep looking at me?â
âItâs nothing,â
Joris pouted and retracted her gaze before asking,ââThen let me ask you, how much are you willing to pay for this document?â
These words were meant to test Jianghaiâs bottom line.
Joes was no fool. Although it seemed like Jiang hai was the one in charge of the Jiang Corporation, there were still quite a number of people watching them.
There was a limit to what he could take out. He had taken out ten million this time, but he might not be able to take out more.
âAt most ...â
Jiang hai pondered for a while and said unwillingly,ââI can only take out 10 million at most.â
In addition to the donation from the charity Club, he had spent a total of 20 million Yuan on this document!
Just thinking about it made Jiang Haiâs heart ache, and his hatred for joesse deepened.
However, on the surface, Qiao sisi was Zheng Zeyiâs fiancée, not a friend.
......
This identity was enough to make Jianghai fear her. Even if he had the guts, he would not dare to do anything to Joes.
âTen million?â
Joesâs expression seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, and her eyes were very bright.âAre you sure youâre telling me the truth?â
âThis ... Is the truth.â Jiang Haiâs eyes flickered as he purposely avoided her gaze to give himself some confidence.
In fact, he also knew that there were too many loopholes in his words.
Joes was no fool. Ten million was only a small portion of the money that Jianghai embezzled.
Not even a third.
It would be a huge loss if they were tricked by Jianghaiâs current appearance.
Joes squinted her eyes slightly and a dangerous aura emanated from her body, which was extremely similar to Zheng Zeyi.
She sneered and said,âdirector Jiang, Iâm quite generous. Iâll give you one last chance.â
How much are you willing to pay for this document? If you canât give me the answer I want, donât even think about getting this document!â
Joes was not joking with Jiang hai, her tone was firm.
She looked at Jianghai, worried that he would not believe her. She reached for her phone in her pocket.
Seeing this, Jiang hai started to panic. His fingers started to tremble as he thought about this.
âThis woman ... Sheâs really going to be exposed!â
Jiang hai was certain of this. His impression of Joes was now that of a demon.
Joes waited for him for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said,ââ 40 million is really the most I can give at the moment.
There are also some ongoing projects in the company that need cash flow. I canât possibly take all the time for them. â
After saying that, he looked at Jossi with a pleading expression.
Hearing Jiang Haiâs words, Joesâs lips curled into a smile,ââYou donât have to act so pitiful. Youâre corrupt. Why didnât you think of this when you took the money from the project?
And donât think I donât know that you were the one who instigated others to leak our companyâs design drawings. Donât treat others like fools!
We agreed on 40 million, not a single cent less. â
With that, joesse had no intention of continuing the conversation with Jiang hai. She returned to her seat by the window and smiled at Zheng ze, who had been waiting for her.
Jianghai was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
âShe knows everything!â
Jiang Haiâs eyes were as wide as copper bells as he stared at Joes, not daring to look away.
The last time they had a discussion in the café, Joes did not mention the leaked design plan. Jiang hai still held a trace of hope.
They felt that this woman had failed to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and as a result, she was slapped in the face today!
It seemed like he had to find a way to gather the money. However, if he really gave out all 40 million, Jianghai would have no money left.
How he should choose was all his own thoughts.
âThe steak is done. Eat it.â
When Qiao si si was not around, Zheng Zeyi considerately helped her cut most of the steak into pieces.
This was because Qiao sisi had mentioned it to Zheng Zeyi before. She felt that it would be troublesome, but she did not expect him to remember such a small sentence so clearly.
âAlright,â he said.
Joes picked up the knife and fork at the side, picked up a piece of steak, and put it in her mouth. The texture was fresh and tender, and it was more delicious than I had imagined.
After all, this was the buffet restaurant downstairs of the charity Association. If the quality was too low, it would not meet the standards.
Joes was a little hungry and quickly finished the steak on her plate.
She took a sip of the orange juice. The taste of the fresh fruit made her close her eyes comfortably, and the sweet taste spread in her heart.
Zheng Zeyiâs lips curled up as he picked up the tissue beside him and said,ââSisi, turn your head around.â
âWhat?â
Qiao si turned her head, but before she could react, Zheng Zeyi used a tissue to wipe away the juice at the corner of her mouth.
His fingertips accidentally touched her cheek, making her heart tremble.
âItâs done,â Zheng Zeyiâs every move exuded an air of elegance. After he was done, he put the paper aside.
However, Qiao sisiâs face immediately turned red. She looked away slightly and did not look at Zheng Zeyi.
This was the scene that Chen zuolin saw when he first arrived at the buffet restaurant to look for Joes.
His eyes darkened and even his footsteps slowed down involuntarily. He was worried that he would be disturbing Joes if he went over like this.
Chen zuolin lowered his eyes, hiding the complicated emotions in them.
Just as he stopped moving, Jossi noticed his presence. She put down the glass of orange juice in her hand and greeted him,ââBig brother Chen, youâre here too.â
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen zuolin suddenly raised his head and saw Jossiâs sweet smile.
He was in a trance for a moment, as if he had returned to a year ago.
Thinking of this, Chen zuolin raised the corner of his mouth and nodded,âYeah sisi, Iâm here too.â
At this moment, Zheng Zeyi frowned and said,ââChief Chen, why are you here?â
One was welcome, while the other was not.
Facing Zheng Zeyiâs gloomy face, Chen zuolin smiled and chose a seat not far away. He said,ââIâm also here to eat. â
What else could they do in this buffet restaurant besides eating?
Joesse took a sip of her orange juice and said with a smile,ââBy the way, big brother Chen, why did you enter so late today?â
âI was held up by something this morning, but itâs been resolved now. Donât worry.â
Chen zuolin and Qiao sisiâs conversation made Zheng Zeyi clench his fists. He was so angry that he did not want to speak at all.
