Chapter 435

Ni Man was startled upon hearing this, a flash of disappointment crossing her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

"No need, Mr. Jiang. I live nearby; it's very convenient to go back."

Since the other party had no further plans, she felt there was no need to trouble others to take her back; it wasn't necessary.

Jiang Yuanliang could tell that the other party wasn't just being polite, so he nodded, "Okay, then I'll go pay the bill."

In the parking space outside the restaurant, Ni Man carried her bag and thanked Jiang Yuanliang for today's lunch, "I am very honored and happy to have lunch with Mr. Jiang today. You are very different from what I imagined. Today was a very wonderful experience for me, and I will remember it."

Jiang Yuanliang looked at her, a smile always lingering at the corners of his mouth. Upon hearing this, he replied softly, "Actually, you don't have to treat me as some incredible big shot. Since we are sitting together today for the purpose of a blind date, my identity is the male party, and you should look at me with the eyes of a future partner."

"I understand." Ni Man revealed an apologetic smile, ashamed, "But you are Jiang Yuanliang, and this is our first meeting. I don't have such strong adaptability to instantly detach you from the image I have in my mind."

Carefully savoring Ni Man's words, Jiang Yuanliang felt that she expressed herself sincerely enough, and it made some sense.

"Understandable. The first time is always when there are the most distracting thoughts." Jiang Yuanliang nodded gently, then changed the subject, "Then I hope that next time we meet, Ms. Ni can adapt a little, and your perspective of me can change."

After all, if the other party kept looking at him with an admiring gaze, the two of them would never be able to get together; he wasn't some statue of a god.

Upon hearing Jiang Yuanliang say this, the smile on Ni Man's face suddenly stiffened.

"Ah?"

She responded subconsciously, hesitation spreading in her eyes, as if she thought she had misheard.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Jiang Yuanliang didn't understand why she had such a reaction.

Ni Man regained her composure, her pretty face blushing uncontrollably. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at him, and asked in a low voice, "Did Mr. Jiang just say next time we meet?"

"Yes." Jiang Yuanliang asked uncertainly, "Does Ms. Ni feel it's inappropriate and there's no need to meet again?"

"No, no!" Ni Man looked up and denied it repeatedly, saying urgently, "It's just that just now..."

She choked, but Jiang Yuanliang looked at her, waiting for her to finish.

Ni Man pursed her lips awkwardly, but still said truthfully, "It's that I thought you didn't have any intention of getting to know me further, which is why you were in such a hurry to send me home. Because I thought we could have a coffee or watch a movie or something..."

Jiang Yuanliang was stunned, then laughed embarrassedly, "So that's it. Should I have made myself clearer just now? I was just in a hurry to get back to the company because there are many important things to deal with today; it's not what you think. Actually, I think you're quite good; we can get to know each other more."

"Really? Th-thank you." Ni Man's heart was beating fast with excitement, and she felt her right cheek twitching uncontrollably.

That's right, what kind of person is Jiang Yuanliang? How could he have as much time as others to take walks, have coffee, and watch movies?

Being busy is who he is!

"Then Mr. Jiang, hurry back to the company. I'll wait for you to contact me next time."

Jiang Yuanliang didn't hesitate anymore, said "Okay," and then turned and got into the car.

Ni Man watched him leave, waving her hand from afar. It wasn't until the car disappeared on the road that Ni Man clenched her fingers excitedly.

In the evening, Shen Jingjing fed back the situation regarding Chen Sister Mo Ru to her daughter and also passed along Chen Sister Mo Ru's contact information. Shen Ci didn't hesitate and contacted Chen Sister Mo Ru immediately.

Upon learning that Shen Ci indeed had the intention to acquire her processing plant, Chen Sister Mo Ru stated that she happened to be going on a business trip tomorrow morning and could meet Shen Ci at the processing plant before heading to the airport.

Early the next morning, Shen Ci went as agreed, and Pili accompanied her.

As a result, just as they walked into the processing plant, they saw a large group of people gathered together. These people were clamoring and very agitated, but because the scene was so chaotic, Shen Ci didn't hear what they were saying.

"What's the situation?" Pili asked, frowning in confusion.

Shen Ci shook her head to indicate she didn't know. She had no intention of joining the fun, and because she had been here once, she knew the way and took Pili to the three-story building where the factory manager's office was located.

In the office, Chen Sister Mo Ru and Factory Manager Li had been waiting for a long time.

"Auntie Sister Mo Ru."

After entering, Shen Ci greeted her warmly. She had already met Factory Manager Li last time, so she spoke up without feeling like a stranger, "Hello, Manager."

Seeing Shen Ci arrive, Chen Sister Mo Ru was very happy because she liked this child Shen Ci from the bottom of her heart. She hurriedly greeted her to sit down and asked Factory Manager Li to pour water for the two of them.

Factory Manager Li said while pouring water, "Sigh, if I had known Ms. Shen knew our boss, I should have made a phone call on the spot last time."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci smiled, "It's okay, I didn't know this factory was Auntie Sister Mo Ru's either."

Chen Sister Mo Ru was dressed neatly, looking like she was about to go on a long trip. She was catching a flight before noon to go abroad, so she didn't have time to chat much with Shen Ci.

She went straight to the point, "Aci, I've told your mother about the situation with this factory, and she should have relayed it to you. Do you really intend to want it?"

Shen Ci smiled and nodded, "If Auntie Sister Mo Ru has the intention to sell, I want it."

"But in all fairness, this factory has no advantages or room for appreciation. Why do you want it?"

Chen Sister Mo Ru was truly curious. The child Aci gave her the feeling of being steady and reliable, so she shouldn't have made such a decision on a whim. Chen Sister Mo Ru believed she must have a reasonable reason.

Shen Ci hesitated for a moment and said conservatively, "I wouldn't say I'm doing anything in particular. To be honest with Auntie Sister Mo Ru, I actually just feel that this factory has a time when it will exert its value. It's just my personal eye for the market."

"Auntie Sister Mo Ru, you are a good friend of my mother. I really want your factory, but I don't want to cause any unpleasantness between us in the future because of a factory. So, whether this factory makes money or loses money, we must not have any grudges."

She couldn't tell anyone about the appreciation of the land in the entire Yangming District, but out of Chen Sister Mo Ru's relationship with her mother, Shen Ci still gave her a kind reminder.

But that was all.

If Chen Sister Mo Ru chose not to sell, she would definitely not force it.

Upon hearing this, Chen Sister Mo Ru smiled, "Aci, you underestimate your Auntie Sister Mo Ru too much. To tell you the truth, today is only because you want to buy it. If it were anyone else, I would have handed the entire transaction over to Factory Manager Li, and I wouldn't even ask about it."

Just such a processing plant really didn't mean much to Chen Sister Mo Ru's "Heijin Group."
