Chapter 71 - A Matter of One Sentence

“Which family are you from?” Jiao Qinglong narrowed his eyes and asked. His tone was no longer as relaxed as before. It had become very cold and stern. He did not suspect that Jiang Tong was deliberately getting close to him, because they had met through playing games. Moreover, it was a game on a private server. Most people would not play those games for too long, including Jiao Qinglong himself. He was playing on the private server for two days today, them he might play another game in a few days. In addition, he was very confident in the confidentiality of his information. He did not think that anyone would know which game he was playing to get close to him in the game.

Jiao Qinglong could be sure that Jiang Tong did not know who he was before they met. The vibes that Jiang Tong gave off was that she just wanted to deal with the matter of her boyfriend’s company as soon as possible. If he had not kept pestering Jiang Tong, the two of them would not have met. Jiao Qinglong even brought up the matter of the meeting himself, so Jiao Qinglong instantly understood the subtle expression on Jiang Tong’s face when she entered the door and looked at him. That subtle expression wasn’t because she recognized his identity, it was because she had a rough understanding of him and knew why he left his family to do business on his own. The trivial matters of their family could only be understood by people who had reached a certain level of status or important figures.

“Boss Jiao, relax.” Jiang Tong smiled, put down the teacup, and said, “To tell you the truth, I really don’t belong to any important family. I don’t have the background that you think I do, but I do know a little about you. Also... I want to use what you said before to say that we are indeed fated!” After saying that, Jiang Tong showed a very nuanced expression.

“No background? Your family should be quite rich, right? What business is it?” Jiao Qinglong did not believe Jiang Tong’s words at all.

“It’s a noodle shop. A small business like that is not worth mentioning.” Jiang Tong smiled and waved her hand. She was not lying. Her family background was average, so it was indeed not worth mentioning.

Jiao Qinglong was silent, and then he put the teacup on the table. “Forget it. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it.” After saying that, he showed a bright smile to Jiang Tong. Jiao Qinglong had such a personality. He was very deep-minded and very good at hiding things. On the surface, he said that he would let it go, but he would definitely investigate Jiang Tong later. Although he didn’t think that Jiang Tong would be a threat to him, he still had to know who Jiang Tong was, and which family she came from.

“Tell me about your boyfriend. How did the spokesperson even get hit by a car? That is too unlucky.” Jiao Qinglong changed the topic. He looked at Jiang Tong and said, “Seeing how you don’t hesitate to charge money in the game, how come you couldn’t even handle a spokesperson?”

“I was tricked.” Jiang Tong sighed, then smiled and said, “It can’t be helped. Business is not good these days, and there are all kinds of problems. Boss Jiao, you are also a businessman. You should understand the twists and turns.”

Jiao Qinglong nodded. He obviously understood the deceit that came with it. He picked up the teacup and clicked his tongue. “But the competition here is fierce enough. You directly knocked the spokesperson into the hospital. Your methods are quite ruthless.”

“It can’t be considered normal business competition, but it is indeed to hinder the development of the company.” Jiang Tong shook her head and deliberately made it vague.

The corner of Jiao Qinglong’s mouth twitched. “This method is too wicked. Just who did the spokesperson offend?” He did not know why Jiang Tong was not considered a business competitor. He was not that curious, and moreover, the matters of other people’s companies had nothing to do with him.

“Yes, I have been annoyed by this matter for the past few days. We knew that the other party would cause trouble, but we did not expect them to directly make a move on the spokesperson. This spokesperson is also the one for a new product. The press conference has not even started yet, so the spokesperson can’t be used anymore.” Jiang Tong shook her head helplessly.

“It’s not easy for you either.” Jiao Qinglong smiled. “How about this? Although we’ve just met, I, Jiao Qinglong, am a man of my word. I’ll help you settle the spokesperson matter. Just tell me who you want.” He took out his phone. At that moment, it was as if as long as Jiang Tong said the name, he would call the person over.

“The spokesperson needs to be suitable for the company’s product...” Jiang Tong said carefully.

“Oh, right, right, right.” These words reminded Jiao Qinglong, “I haven’t asked you yet. What is your boyfriend’s company called? What business does he do? How big is it?” Although he asked about the size, Jiao Qinglong tacitly agreed that Jiang Tong’s boyfriend’s company was not small.

“It does make-up and fashion. It’s considered famous in City Z, but it can only be considered a small-scale boutique internationally.” After Jiang Tong said that.., Jiao Qinglong smiled. “Make-up? That’s too easy. Just find a young, beautiful female celebrity with good skin. I can do it with one word.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
