Chapter 456

"Uncle Jiang."

Shen Ci greeted warmly, and Shen Jingjing followed: "Mr. Jiang."

"Today is just a lively charity event, no need to be reserved." Jiang Yuanliang said softly, then introduced to Ni Man beside him: "This is Ms. Shen, whom I mentioned when I chatted with you earlier—she saved me once."

"This is her daughter A-Ci. This little girl is incredible; she is the youngest and most promising investor among the people I know."

Ni Man listened carefully. She had an impression of Shen Jingjing, having seen her from afar in a restaurant during her blind date.

"Hello, Ms. Shen. You look so young. If Mr. Jiang hadn't told me, I would have thought you and your daughter were sisters." Ni Man said with a smile.

Whether this was sincere or flattery, the listener would feel happy.

Shen Jingjing responded with a smile and "You're too kind," but Shen Ci heard the clue in the other party's words, and seeing her affectionately holding Uncle Jiang's arm, she thought she was Uncle Jiang's girlfriend.

But she had just addressed Uncle Jiang as Mr. Jiang, which showed that their relationship wasn't as intimate as she had thought.

Could it be just a female companion for the banquet tonight?

A waiter walked over with a tray. Jiang Yuanliang picked up two glasses of champagne and handed them to Shen Ci and her mother. After inviting the two to toast together, he said: "Please make yourselves at home; I'm going over to greet some friends."

Shen Ci smiled and nodded, watching Jiang Yuanliang and Ni Man go in another direction.

Shen Jingjing then whispered to her daughter: "This Ms. Ni just now, they met through a blind date with Mr. Jiang."

"How do you know?" Shen Ci was slightly surprised.

"Your Auntie Mo Ru and I happened to be in the same restaurant that day and ran into them."

Shen Ci understood. They met through a blind date, and she attended as a female companion on such an important occasion today. They must be getting along very well, and perhaps their relationship would progress further very soon.

"Oh, Ms. Shen, you're here too!"

Soon, a friend Shen Ci was familiar with discovered her and took the initiative to come up and greet her. Shen Ci quickly responded naturally: "Chairman Qu, long time no see..."

Not far away, Mrs. Li also saw Shen Ci.

Originally, she thought she had misread the person, until she identified her carefully for a moment and confirmed that the person chatting and laughing with Chairman Qu was indeed Shen Ci.

"How did she get in?"

Mrs. Li muttered, and Li Wanchang, who was to the side, couldn't help but look at her in confusion upon hearing the sound: "Who?"

"Shen Ci." Mrs. Li lifted her chin slightly toward Shen Ci's direction, her tone unable to hide her shock: "Chairman Qu seems to be quite familiar with her?"

Li Wanchang looked over, his deep eyes flashing slightly, his gaze obscure and difficult to understand.

Compared to Mrs. Li's shock, he was much calmer. This Shen Ci had given him quite a few "surprises." Now, no matter what happened to her, it wouldn't make him feel surprised.

Mrs. Li, however, wanted to go up, but was grabbed by Li Wanchang.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going over to see!" Mrs. Li said, gritting her teeth as she spoke: "I get angry just seeing her now!"

"Behave yourself. What kind of occasion is this today?" Li Wanchang warned in a low voice, watching Jiang Yuanliang walk toward his direction from afar, and couldn't help but say quickly: "Don't provoke her; we are here to attend the event today."

As he finished speaking, a smile already appeared on his face: "Chairman Jiang!"

"Chairman Li, long time no see."

Jiang Yuanliang came over, and Mrs. Li quickly reorganized her expression and greeted him with a smile. The two companies didn't have any deep cooperation, but the Li family was doing quite well in their own field, so Li Wanchang's status wasn't light on such an occasion today.

Although there was still some distance compared to the Jiangdong Group.

The two chatted casually and warmly for a few sentences. Mrs. Li suddenly interrupted from the side: "Chairman Jiang, our family has been using the cleaning company you recommended before. Oh, it's really good, very professional. It's just that business is too good; sometimes we can't even book an appointment once every half month."

Li Wanchang didn't expect his wife to suddenly bring this up, and couldn't help but be stunned.

But before he could react, Jiang Yuanliang laughed first: "Is that so? It's a company owned by a friend of mine, and she happens to be here today."

"Oh? Then Chairman Jiang, you must introduce us. Maybe I can pull some strings with her; it's really too hard to book." Mrs. Li said half-jokingly.

"No problem." Jiang Yuanliang was extremely willing, after all, he was willing to do a favor for anything beneficial to Shen Jingjing.

He looked around slightly, and then spotted Shen Jingjing's position: "Over there, let's go over. I'll introduce you."

As he finished speaking, he took the first step.

Li Wanchang frowned at his wife: "Why did you bring up the cleaning company for no reason?"

"Didn't you say that if we used this company recommended by Chairman Jiang, we could talk to him more in the future? Isn't this the opportunity?" Mrs. Li felt she hadn't done anything wrong and had even helped her husband build another connection.

No matter what, a friend introduced by Chairman Jiang personally must be a very important friend. Getting to know her was definitely not a bad thing.

Shen Jingjing was accompanying her daughter to socialize. Seeing so many people with social status take the initiative to greet her daughter and chat and laugh with her, Shen Jingjing couldn't help but feel a sense of pride on her face just watching from the side.

In the past, she only had a vague understanding of what her daughter did, the business she ran, and the friends she made. She didn't have a concrete understanding, nor did she have any opportunity to face her daughter's ability directly.

But today, for the first time, she attended such an occasion with her daughter, which allowed her to truly witness her daughter's ability.

"Ms. Shen!"

Jiang Yuanliang returned, and Shen Jingjing responded quickly: "Mr. Jiang."

"I'm introducing a friend for you to meet."

As Jiang Yuanliang said this, Mrs. Li had already taken the initiative to reach out and greet: "Hello, Ms. Shen."

Seeing the other party so active and enthusiastic, Shen Jingjing also instinctively reached out: "Hello."

"Hello, ma'am. My name is Li Wanchang, Chairman of the Li Group, and this is my wife." Li Wanchang said, taking out a business card and handing it to Shen Jingjing.

Shen Jingjing took it in a daze, not knowing for a moment why Mr. Jiang wanted to introduce a friend to her, and so specifically at that.

Fortunately, she had also prepared business cards. She took one out and handed it to Li Wanchang: "Mr. Li, this is my business card."

"Jingjie" Housekeeping and Cleaning Company.

President, Shen Jingjing.

"Oh right, it's Ms. Shen's company. Our family has been using it recently." Mrs. Li looked at Shen Jingjing and spoke first: "Ms. Shen's company is very professional, it's just too popular. I wanted to book it two days ago, and heavens, I found out it was almost booked until the end of the year."

Mrs. Li was surprisingly enthusiastic, and her emotions were very well-expressed.

Just at this moment, Shen Ci came to Shen Jingjing's side. She noticed Li Xiao's parents opposite, a trace of surprise flashed across her face, and then she called out lightly: "Mom."
