Chapter 1198 You Just Look Down on Me
Jiang Manman couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Luo Jing, can you please stop acting crazy here?"
"What does my conversation with Liang Chen have to do with you? Are you his girlfriend? Why are you so eager to speak up? Or do you say that the Liang Group is yours and that you are a shareholder here?"
"I..." Luo Jing didn't expect Jiang Manman to become so eloquent, and for a moment, she couldn't find any words to refute her.
Seeing that Jiang Manman was unhappy because of Luo Jing, Liang Chen, who was standing next to her, was actually quite happy.
Is Jiang Manman jealous because another woman cares about him so much?
"Everything I've done is for the Liang Group. I don't want to see the Liang Group suffer losses. The Liang Group is a good company, and Young Master Liang is a good person. Jiang Manman, you're pursuing Huo Yanchen while also having your eye on Young Master Liang. Isn't that trying to have it both ways?"
Liang Chen then said to Luo Jing, "Alright, Luo Jing, you can go out now."
Although Luo Jing was unwilling, she still went out.
She knew that she had achieved her goal.
Those seeds of hers had already been planted in Liang Chen's heart long ago.
Now, Liang Chen has no way of trusting Jiang Manman. He will definitely try to prove himself, win the project, and go against the Huo Group.
If this project is done well, the returns will be really high. This is also the first stepping stone for Luo Jing to gain a foothold in the Liang Group.
As Luo Jing left, she glanced at Jiang Manman one last time, her eyes filled with provocation.
Jiang Manman pretended not to see it and said, "Liang Chen, I hope you can carefully consider what I just said."
Liang Chen was staring at Jiang Manman, lost in thought. He paused for a moment before answering, "What are you considering?"
Jiang Manman: "..."
Was all her previous talk for nothing?
Liang Chen still looked at Jiang Manman with that same burning gaze, so Jiang Manman had no choice but to repeat what she had said earlier: after careful consideration of the company, she felt that it was not worth cooperating with.
"Manman, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?"
Clearly, Liang Chen didn't listen at all.
Jiang Manman said, "I'm talking to you about work."
Liang Chen snapped out of her daze, her eyes turning cold, and then said, "You really don't want me to cooperate with this company?"
Jiang Manman said, "I'm just reminding you that your choice has nothing to do with me. I'm not an employee of the Liang Group."
Liang Chen said, "You don't want me to cooperate. Is it for my own good, or do you just not want me to steal Huo Yanchen's project?"
Jiang Manman was stunned: "Liang Chen, how could you think like that? The Huo Group doesn't lack this project at all. Moreover, the reason why the Huo Group hasn't signed a contract with this company for so long is because they've discovered some problems with it."
"Heh, the Huo Group doesn't lack this one project. What, do you think our Liang Group is lacking? Jiang Manman, do you really think I'm inferior to Huo Yanchen, that I'm nothing?"
Liang Chen felt his self-esteem had been insulted. Jiang Manman was always like this, looking down on him.
He wanted to create a project that would impress his father and Jiang Manman, but Jiang Manman didn't think highly of him.
“I didn’t mean that. Why do you want to compare yourself to Huo Yanchen? There are always people more capable than us in this world. There are many people more powerful than us. Don’t you feel tired of comparing yourself to him? I’m just an ordinary person. There are so many people in school who are better than me in their grades and in their work. I never think that I am inferior to anyone, and I never think that you are inferior to anyone.”
Moreover, Huo Yanchen is someone that ordinary people cannot compare to.
In this world, some people are born geniuses.
"Heh, then why don't you like me?" Liang Chen asked.
The way he looked at Jiang Manman also carried an aggressive and threatening tone.
Jiang Manman didn't expect Liang Chen to ask so directly. She said, "Liking someone is a very complicated emotion. You either like them or you don't. I also want to ask, why am I not a heartthrob? Why doesn't everyone in the world like me?"
"Also, I'm here to talk to you about work. If you don't listen, it's none of my business. You're an adult, and you should take responsibility for the choices you make. I've already advised you and done what I should have done. I have a clear conscience."
"Liang Chen, I'm leaving."
With that, Jiang Manman left.
Only after Jiang Manman left the office did Liang Chen realize what was happening. He immediately chased after her, calling out, "Manman, don't go!"
However, upon hearing Liang Chen's words, Jiang Manman walked even faster. She quickly entered the elevator, pressed the close button, and by the time Liang Chen caught up, Jiang Manman had already gone down the elevator.
By the time Liang Chen arrived on the first floor, Jiang Manman was already gone.
Liang Chen stood there, stunned, his mind a little dazed.
Luo Jing naturally witnessed this scene, but at this moment, she did not disturb it.
She knew that Liang Chen would figure it out.
Liang Chen stayed in the office until very late, his mind filled with thoughts of this project. He knew that every project carried risks, and the greater the potential return, the greater the risk. This project's rate of return was simply too high.
The Liang Group is currently quite stable, without any major upheavals. If they can secure this project, it will help the Liang Group reach new heights.
Jiang Manman didn't want him to get involved. Was it for his own good, or did she just not want him to compete with Huo Yanchen for something?
The Huo Group doesn't lack this project, but he desperately needs it.
Liang Chen was inclined to support this project and felt he was capable of doing it well, but Manman didn't believe him.
Liang Chen was drinking in his office, feeling very upset. It was late at night when Luo Jing walked in.
"Mr. Liang, you've had too much to drink. Let me take you home."
Liang Chen pushed him away, saying, "Get away from me, get away from me!"
Luo Jing didn't leave; she just kept looking at Liang Chen.
To be honest, Liang Chen is indeed not bad. He is good-looking and quite handsome, but he is not mature enough. He is well protected by his family and is still innocent. He is not at all like Huo Yanchen, a cold-blooded man.
"You've had too much to drink. What will you do if I leave, Liang Chen? Don't hurt yourself for those irrelevant people, okay? Otherwise, I'll feel sorry for you too."
Luo Jing's words silenced Liang Chen, who just stared at her and asked, "What...what did you say?"
Feeling sorry for him?
Luo Jing held Liang Chen's hand and placed it on her heart. Since the heart is not far from the chest, when Liang Chen touched it, he touched Luo Jing's proud area.
Luo Jing already had a great figure, and mature women possess a unique charm. Liang Chen had never had such an experience before, and he was so stunned that he forgot to pull his hand back.
