Chapter 172: Why Is He Here?

For Jiang Mumu, today was originally just a very ordinary afternoon. After she got up from her nap, she first looked at her work schedule, then carried her coffee to the department manager's office to chat for a sentence or two.

Do not underestimate such small talk; since she joined Jinjie, she had relied on these fragmented bits of time to get close to the leadership, and then, through her own ability to communicate well, gradually left an impression on the department leaders and even higher-ups.

She had originally graduated from Chang'an University of Electronic Science and Technology, her professional knowledge was still there, and coupled with her good relationship with the leadership, she was now just waiting for an important opportunity to showcase herself.

Sitting back down at her desk and opening QQ, Jiang Mumu saw the message sent by "Young and Too Reckless" again; this had almost become a habit.

"Sister Xiao Jiang, how do you plan to spend your birthday this week?"

"Sister Xiao Jiang, what gift do you want?"

"Sister Xiao Jiang, I picked out a bouquet of fresh flowers for you, what do you think?"

…………

Jiang Mumu finished reading with an expressionless face. "Young and Too Reckless" was the QQ nickname of Shao Ziyang. Regarding this sophomore from Northwestern Polytechnical University whom she met on the train, Jiang Mumu actually had no interest.

Because he was truly too poor; he would hesitate for a long time just to eat an 800-yuan steak, and he had no money to buy himself a mobile phone.

Furthermore, Shao Ziyang came from a small city, lacked experience, his conversation wasn't interesting enough, and his consumption habits and economic strength did not meet her standards; Jiang Mumu had no intention of dating him at all.

Actually, another boy on the train named Yang Tianxing was quite good; his speech was resonant and powerful, and he seemed relatively wealthy. Occasionally, when eating with Shao Ziyang, he would speak of his good friend Yang Tianxing with an admiring tone.

However, Jiang Mumu felt that Yang Tianxing seemed to look down on her. Not only because of his behavior on the train, but they had also met a few times in Chang'an because of Shao Ziyang, and Yang Tianxing wouldn't even deign to lift his eyelids.

It seemed there was a chain of contempt: Yang Tianxing looked down on Jiang Mumu, Jiang Mumu looked down on Shao Ziyang, and Shao Ziyang also "looked down" on Yang Tianxing.

Shao Ziyang felt that his was the true love; Yang Tianxing was too promiscuous.

"Flowers are fine, thank you."

Jiang Mumu replied simply. Although she didn't like Shao Ziyang at all, she didn't explicitly reject him either, and would occasionally flirt to keep him on the hook.

However, just as this message was sent, the QQ avatar of "Young and Too Reckless" immediately started flashing.

Shao Ziyang didn't have a computer; if he could reply so quickly, he must be waiting in an internet cafe.

In fact, one could imagine his current state: wearing greasy headphones, watching "Pirate Luffy" in the corner of a noisy internet cafe, his dark face looking very lonely in front of the computer screen, his eyes glancing at QQ from time to time, expectant yet also anxious, and possessing a certain weakness of not daring to face reality.

A "lick-dog" is not truly stupid; many times, he is just self-evading reality.

But when Jiang Mumu's QQ flashed, Shao Ziyang's eyes suddenly became fervent, as if he had found the water of life in a desert, and he immediately replied frantically.

"Sister Xiao Jiang, what kind of flowers do you want?"

"When is it appropriate for me to give them to you?"

"Tomorrow night is your birthday, how about we go eat together?"

"You want to spend my birthday with me with just a bouquet of flowers?"

Jiang Mumu smiled to herself, directly closed the "Young and Too Reckless" QQ page, let it continue to flash in the bottom right corner, and instead picked up her PHS phone to make a call: "Are we confirmed to go clubbing at 1912 tomorrow?"

A man replied on the phone: "I've already booked a booth, and I'll give you a mobile phone as a gift while I'm at it."

"Oh, there's no need."

Jiang Mumu said coquettishly: "Actually, the PHS is quite good, you shouldn't spend money recklessly."

"The PHS functions are far worse than a mobile phone; I'm waiting for you to agree to be my girlfriend tomorrow."

"Annoying, our leader is coming over, let's stop talking for now." Jiang Mumu had just hung up the phone when she saw the vice general manager of Jinjie walking over hurriedly: "Xiao Jiang, I have an important task for you."

"Please go ahead."

Jiang Mumu stood up and said.

"A group of important guests is visiting today, and the big boss attaches great importance to it. He is currently accompanying them in the conference room. Prepare a PPT presentation about our factory and go up to explain it in a moment."

"The PPT is ready-made; I just need to familiarize myself with it."

"That's fine, hurry up."

The vice manager didn't have time to stay longer and prepared to return to the conference room, but before leaving, he earnestly exhorted: "Xiao Jiang, this presentation is critical, as it involves whether our company can further expand its scale."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't embarrass myself."

Jiang Mumu hurriedly pulled up the PPT to familiarize herself with it; during this time, Shao Ziyang's QQ avatar was still flashing, and finding it annoying, she exited QQ directly.

"Is this my opportunity?"

Jiang Mumu couldn't help but glance in the direction of the conference room, her eyes showing eagerness.

…………

Jinjie's comprehensive strength was significantly stronger than the other three companies; one could tell just by sitting in the conference room in the administrative building. The mahogany tables and chairs were solid, the projector was slowly being lowered, and there were people helping to pour tea.

Yang Tianxing was holding an exquisite hardcover picture album in his hand. Lu Jinfeng smiled and said: "The album records the process of Jinjie from nothing to something, from small to large, as well as our current signature products. I hope Boss Zhao and the several managers will offer more suggestions."

"Does Runxing have something like this?" Yang Tianxing asked Zhao Qingxun in a low voice.

Zhao Qingxun shook her head: "I've taken over New Century for too short a time, and now I'm launching the MP3 project, so I can't spare the time for now."

Yang Tianxing coughed.

Zhao Qingxun was very smart and immediately understood the subtext of that "cough": "You know how to do these things?"

"Boss Zhao can give it a try; if the technique isn't good, I won't charge." Yang Tianxing raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Qingxun smiled: "Let's get the matter at hand settled first."

"This Lu Jinfeng speaks neither servilely nor overbearingly, he has quite a bit of personal charisma. He is more decisive than Yu Guisheng of Lianfa."

Yang Tianxing analyzed immediately: "It can be seen that the employees in the factory also respect Lu Jinfeng quite a bit."

"So your meaning is that you lean more towards Jinjie?" Zhao Qingxun asked.

Yang Tianxing shook his head: "It's hard to say now. If we choose Jinjie, it can only be because of Lu Jinfeng. Lianfa pays more attention to overall integrity."

Just as Yang Tianxing and Zhao Qingxun were chatting in low voices, Lu Jinfeng was also discussing with other managers.

"I know Zhao Qingxun, but who is that Yang Tianxing beside her?"

"Not clear, but judging from the demeanor of their interaction, the relationship shouldn't be shallow."

"Damn it, Zhao Qingxun basically doesn't speak; it's completely Yang Tianxing communicating on behalf of Runxing, yet we aren't familiar with him. What should we do?"

Lu Jinfeng couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed: "Is Jiang Mumu ready? Why are we letting the guests wait so long?"

"I'll go urge them."

A deputy manager ran to the administration department outside, and before long, Jiang Mumu, who had specifically applied light makeup, walked in; she first greeted everyone politely.

"Respected guests, respected leaders, hello everyone, I am Jiang Mumu from the administration department of Jinjie Electronics Company."

Jiang Mumu lowered her head slightly to bow, swept her gaze across the room, and suddenly froze.

"Why is he here?"
