Chapter 1314 If you're not tempted, just throw money at it.
As he spoke, Jiang's father drank a glass of wine with a pained expression.
"Tell me, she's so sensible, how did she end up falling for you?"
Huo Yanchen: "?"
Is there any direct connection between these two?
He said, "Perhaps she has good taste."
"Pah! She has such good taste, why would she choose you?" Jiang's father said dismissively.
“You worked with me before, which shows that Manman has just as good judgment as you do. She can’t be wrong about people,” Huo Yanchen said, changing his approach.
As expected, these words satisfied Jiang's father.
He nodded, then snorted coldly: "My judgment is never wrong, it's just that my daughter is still a little lacking. Stop flattering me, don't think that I'll agree to you and Manman being together."
Looking at Jiang's father's arrogant demeanor, Huo Yanchen realized that Jiang Manman was exactly like him.
He could handle Jiang Manman, let alone Jiang's father.
"Tonight is just for us brothers to drink, let's not talk about anything else." Huo Yanchen continued to fill Jiang's father's cup.
"How is the Jiang family doing lately?" Huo Yanchen asked casually.
"It's alright," Jiang's father said.
Huo Yanchen said, "I've recently come across a project with a very promising future, but I'm too busy. The Huo Group might not be able to take on this project. I think the Jiang Group has great potential and should have no problem securing it. I had originally arranged to meet the person in charge tomorrow, and they've already come over, but I can't go. I wonder if you have time to go?"
"Which project?" Jiang's father asked.
Normally, even a small amount of money that Huo Yanchen casually leaks is enough for him to live on for a long time. If Huo Yanchen has his eye on a project, it must be quite good.
Huo Yanchen gave a brief overview of the project, which perfectly aligned with the main business of the Jiang Group, making Jiang's father's eyes light up.
"I have time, I have time, I'll go tomorrow! Since my younger brother doesn't have time, it's only right that I, as the older brother, make the trip."
"That would be a real hassle. If it works out, it would be a huge help to me, and I would really appreciate it. I heard that you've recently taken a liking to that new technology from abroad and want to follow up on it, but you haven't made any connections yet, right? Their manager happens to be a bit free lately. How about I arrange for him to have coffee with you?"
"And you've probably heard of the W Group, right? They're a newly established new energy company with great potential. Their stock is incredibly rare. Unfortunately, I was the one who invested in them during their initial phase, but I'm now considering withdrawing my investment for some reason. I'm wondering if you'd be interested in buying those shares. I can offer you the price of the original shares."
The initial price was practically a freebie.
With these temptations coming one after another, Jiang's father was about to lose his head.
Is this for real? Are you really going to give him all of these?
Each of these items alone would be snapped up, so now he can have them all without doing anything.
He finally understood what greed meant, because he wanted everything.
"Well, isn't this inappropriate?" Jiang's father said.
Huo Yanchen said, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. I think the Jiang Group is the most suitable to take on these tasks. No one is more suitable than you, my elder brother."
Jiang's father admitted that he was indeed tempted.
If Manman really wants to be with Huo Yanchen and nothing can change her mind, then he will definitely try to secure more benefits for her, lest Huo Yanchen changes his mind and his good daughter ends up with nothing, which would be a huge loss.
“That’s true. I’m sure you’re very busy, Brother Yan Chen. You probably can’t handle these small projects. Well, I’ll help you out.”
“No problem. I have many other projects and I’m too busy to handle them all. I’ll have my secretary make a list tomorrow, and you can choose the ones that interest you to join.”
"I couldn't possibly accept that," Jiang's father said, sounding embarrassed, but his expression was one of satisfaction.
Huo Yanchen observed Jiang's father's expression and thought that he had almost won over this father-in-law.
Huo Yanchen drank quite a bit with Jiang's father, making him happy. Only then did Huo Yanchen say, "Manman and I truly love each other. I know you're afraid I'll change my mind and treat Manman badly, and you also think my personality isn't suitable for Manman, and you're afraid I'll bully her. I know all promises are futile, but once I, Huo Yanchen, have chosen someone, I will never let her down. I love Manman. If you don't believe in my heart, I can transfer all my assets to Manman's name. If I betray Manman, let me have nothing."
“You…” Jiang’s father looked at Huo Yanchen in shock.
Is he serious?
All the assets under his name, that...that must be a lot of money.
"Yes, I can give all assets, including the shares of the Huo Group, to Manman." There was no hesitation on Huo Yanchen's face.
All of this was earned by Huo Yanchen through hard work, but he was willing to give it to Jiang Manman to show his determination.
This wasn't an impulsive act; he felt Jiang Manman was worth it.
He would be lucky to marry a girl like that, and he had no reason to let her down.
"Is that so? Then let's go transfer the property tomorrow. As long as you transfer it to Manman's name, I'll agree to you two being together!"
Jiang's father said this on purpose to test Huo Yanchen and see if Huo Yanchen was really willing or not.
What if some people are just saying it, and we know they won't actually want it?
Jiang's father never imagined that Jiang Manman would become rich and powerful. He was happy with her current life and only hoped that she could be happy.
"No problem, then thank you for your kindness, father-in-law." Huo Yanchen continued to toast Jiang's father, seemingly not caring much about the money.
Huo Yanchen and Jiang's father drank for a long time, and in the end, Jiang's father got drunk.
Huo Yanchen placed the person on the sofa over there, but Huo Yanchen was neither sleepy nor drunk, yet he did not leave.
Huo Yanchen was not joking; he had agreed to change the ownership of the property under his name the next day. He was just waiting for Jiang Manman to wake up so they could go together and Jiang's father could witness it.
The next day, Jiang Manman woke up, washed up, and went downstairs, where she saw two people lying on the sofa.
The maid was still cleaning up the wine bottles over there. Jiang Manman was surprised. Why were Huo Yanchen and her father together?
Jiang Manman quickly went downstairs and called out, "Dad!"
Jiang's father was still asleep, only his brow twitched. Jiang Manman leaned close to his ear and called out loudly, "Dad!"
The sound was deafening, waking not only Jiang's father but also Huo Yanchen on the other side.
Unlike Jiang's father, Huo Yanchen didn't sleep in a crooked position. He simply leaned against the sofa and still looked elegant.
Jiang Manman looked at the two of them, wondering what was going on. Didn't Huo Yanchen leave? Could it be that he ran into her father when he left?
