Chapter 1197 Kind Advice
Hearing Liang Chen's excited tone, Jiang Manman said, "Stop! I'm not here to talk about this. Let's put this behind us, okay? They really didn't do anything wrong. Although you have a position in the company, if you fire them, it will definitely cause some people to have opinions. Liang Chen, think about it carefully."
Liang Chen frowned, and after a couple of seconds, as if he had figured it out, he smiled and said, "So, Manman, you're thinking of me, you're considering my feelings?"
"I didn't mean that."
"I knew it. We grew up together as childhood sweethearts. You can't possibly not have me in your heart. Let's go upstairs. I'll listen to whatever you want to say to me."
Liang Chen took Jiang Manman to his office, and even personally made her coffee and gave her snacks, being very attentive.
"Manman, look how different I am now. I'm already working at the company, and in two years, I'll be able to take over the company from my dad. I'm sure I'll be doing great then. Manman, look at me, okay? For you, I can make myself even better."
Liang Chen stood in front of Jiang Manman, his eyes burning with passion.
He only hoped that Jiang Manman could look at him and know that he was no worse than Huo Yanchen.
Besides, he's still young, isn't he? He's so much younger than Huo Yanchen, and he's handsome too. So many people like him at school.
Jiang Manman said, "You've led the company to greater success, which shows how excellent you are, but it shouldn't be for my sake. Liang Chen, let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"
Jiang Manman felt a lot of pressure whenever Liang Chen spoke.
Especially those who said, "I became like this because of you."
Why should he do it for her? If it weren't for her, would he not take over the company or lead it?
If something goes wrong with the Liang Group, will Liang Chen say that it's because of her that she didn't manage the company well, or that all the problems in the company are because of her? She can't bear that responsibility.
“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you. Let’s not talk about that. So, Manman, what did you come to see me about? Did you miss me a little bit, or did you want to have dinner with me? It’s almost time to get off work now, how about we have dinner together tonight? What do you think?” Liang Chen said to himself.
Jiang Manman said, "I came to see you on business. You know Yunhai Group, right?"
Yunhai Group is the company that Jiang Manman is currently working on.
Upon hearing the name Yunhai Group, Liang Chen's expression changed: "I'm not quite sure."
"Didn't your company want to cooperate with them? How could you not know? Their secretary even said that it was the young master of the Liang Group who personally contacted him. Wasn't it you? How come I didn't know that your Liang family had another young master?"
Hearing Jiang Manman say this, Liang Chen finally spoke up, "I did have contact with her, so what?"
"There are some connections between the Huo Group and the Yunhai Group. There is a project under discussion, but the contract for this project has not been signed yet. I think this project may be a scam, so I want to remind you that if you can avoid it, it is best not to get involved. Even if you want this project, you must investigate it thoroughly before signing the contract. Don't be impulsive."
Just as Jiang Manman finished speaking, there was a commotion at the door. Someone pushed the door open and came in without even knocking.
"Jiang Manman, what do you mean by this?" The person who came in was none other than Luo Jing.
Luo Jing heard about Jiang Manman being taken to Liang Chen's office.
It was strange that she came to see Liang Chen, so Luo Jing wanted to come and see, but she didn't expect to hear such a thing.
"Your Huo Group wanted to sign a contract with them, but seeing that they have alternatives now, they don't want to sign with you anymore. You're afraid that you didn't do your job well and will be scolded when you get back, so you deliberately said that there are problems with this project, hoping that we would give up, so that Yunhai Group will have no choice but to sign with you, right?"
Luo Jing just stared at Jiang Manman like that, and with a few words, she turned Jiang Manman's good intentions into ulterior motives.
Jiang Manman looked at Luo Jing in surprise: "What are you doing here?"
After Luo Jing left the Huo family, Jiang Manman lost track of her. Seeing Luo Jing here now, Jiang Manman was a little surprised.
"I'm the manager of Liang's Group now. What, do you think that by joining forces with Huo Yanchen you can suppress me and make me unable to find a job?" Luo Jing said sarcastically.
Jiang Manman said, "I have never suppressed you, nor have I ever made it difficult for you to find a job."
She clearly did nothing wrong. Wasn't Luo Jing's targeting of her last time Luo Jing's problem? Luo Jing's resignation was also Luo Jing's own business. Why does she now think it's her fault?
"Heh, stop pretending, Jiang Manman, it's disgusting." Luo Jing's eyes were full of disgust when she looked at Jiang Manman.
Liang Chen looked at Jiang Manman and said, "Is what she said true? You asked me to give up this project because you wanted Huo Yanchen to get it, so you deliberately said there was a problem with the project?"
Jiang Manman explained, "No, I've been investigating this company all along. Liang Chen, there's a reason why Huo's Group hasn't signed a contract. Don't believe what that company says. They're not as good as they seem on the surface. The data they show you is all fake."
Although they weren't in that kind of relationship, Jiang Manman still hoped that Liang Chen wouldn't be deceived.
This project is massive; the investment isn't just a few hundred million or a few billion, it could involve tens of billions.
The Liang Group doesn't have that much financial foundation; they can come up with the money, but not just any money.
If this investment fails, it could be a fatal blow to the Liang Group.
After all, they grew up together and were neighbors, so Jiang Manman couldn't just stand by and watch Liang Chen jump into the fire.
Huo Yanchen can afford to lose money on this project, but Liang Chen cannot.
"Enough, Jiang Manman, haven't you used this trick enough? I find it annoying. If we can get this project going, the Liang Group won't have to worry about profits for the next few years. You're not afraid that the Liang Group will surpass your Jiang Group after it becomes successful, so you're doing all sorts of things to stop us now, are you?" Luo Jing said with a smile.
Liang Chen's expression gradually turned cold.
Jiang Manman shook her head: "I don't have those thoughts. What I said is true, Liang Chen. I hope your Liang Group can do better, but this project is really not a good project."
"Whether it's good or bad, I believe Mr. Liang has his own judgment. Are you saying these things here because you think Mr. Liang is inferior to you? You can see it, so how could he not? Jiang Manman, what exactly is your purpose? Haven't you hurt him enough? Now you have to pretend to be a good person to provoke him?" Luo Jing continued.
