Chapter 254: Cooperation

Meeting this person, one must be careful and cautious, after all his methods are really not simple! Su Manyao's face grew more cautious, and he grabbed Su Manyao's hand, involuntarily using force.

Jiang Cheng lightly patted the back of the other's hand, "With me here, don't worry, no matter what methods the other side has, I will find a way to solve these problems."

"These are just some small things; if he wants to play tricks, let him!" Jiang Cheng's mouth curled up, he remained as calm and composed as ever.

In his view, these are indeed just some small things; he simply doesn't even put these small things in his eyes.

So—

That's why Jiang Cheng could be so calm, and say that so nonchalantly.

Under Jiang Cheng's soothing, Su Manyao's mood finally wasn't as tense as at the start. Her brows gradually relaxed.

After all, it's because he previously suffered a loss at Huang Zhengming's place; otherwise, given Su Manyao's personality, she wouldn't be so fearful.

Fortunately, with Jiang Cheng present, even in the tense atmosphere, there was a bit of easing.

Jiang Cheng reached out and gently rubbed Su Manyao's brow: "These are just small things; as long as people are safe and sound, that's fine."

"What's left for you to worry about? Besides, with me here, if we really can't, the two of us will join forces; I don't believe we wouldn't be a match for them."

"Don't worry about all that; I firmly believe that with the two of us, these trivial matters are just small things and will be resolved soon."

Jiang Cheng's voice gradually grew gentle; he was thinking of ways to resolve these troubles and problems.

Each word of his gradually let Su Manyao calm her emotions.

She lowered her eyelids, and Su Manyao slightly lifted them.

In her gaze toward Jiang Cheng, there was full trust.

"I believe you!"

"I believe that afterwards, we will surely be able to cooperate and solve the problem!"

"Even if the other side makes a comeback, I believe that with our abilities, we will definitely be able to solve these problems and troubles." Su Manyao's eyes finally had a glimmer of brilliant light flashing.

She gradually calmed her earlier impatience; now she, transformed, her emotions gradually changed.

Jiang Cheng saw this in his eyes.

"I said, no matter what happens, I will follow you to solve these together; moreover, these are just a trivial small matter, so don't sit there overthinking, don't put pressure on yourself there."

"I believe our future will surely be able to cooperate and solve these troubles." Jiang Cheng tirelessly whispered this sentence into Su Manyao's ear, constantly muttering it to her.

Constantly soothing the other's emotions and pressure, making the other gradually lose that anxiety.

Jiang Cheng's words, after all, are what make people's moods improve.

Su Manyao's face finally was no longer filled with worry as before; instead, she gradually eased, bit by bit calming down.

"Good!"

"I also believe we will definitely be able to ease these."

"But I still need to remind you here: you must be careful in everything ahead, and absolutely must not fall for the other's tricks."

"That guy, really not simple!"

"Alright!"

Su Manyao's reminder was quite reasonable.

The next day, the other party actually came in person to visit, even saying they wanted to cooperate with him. Needless to say, the moment Jiang Cheng heard it, he was obviously stunned by those words from the other's mouth. For a while, he even felt a bit embarrassed to hear it.

"That guy actually wants to cooperate with him?"

Jiang Cheng only found it funny.

Recently, he had a very unpleasant fallout with the other party. If it weren't for him meddling in the middle, Huang Zhengming's company would not have had such a terrible thing happen in such a short time!

However—

The other party actually doesn't hold past grudges and still wants to cooperate?

If there's no conspiracy here, that would be really strange.

"If I remember correctly, not long ago you snatched quite a few artists from my wife's hands. And I just happened to expose those deeds of yours, causing your company to receive widespread criticism from netizens in a short time."

"Afterwards, things only escalated further; you…… in such a short time already paid a huge sum of liquidated damages."

"How is it that you now actually think of coming to cooperate with me?" Jiang Cheng could hardly believe his own ears, staring in astonishment at Huang Zhengming before him.

"What on earth is he up to?"

Jiang Cheng furrowed his brows tightly, but his brows gradually relaxed, his gaze sharp as he looked at him.

He was waiting for his reply.

However—

!

Huang Zhengming smiled: "Isn't this letting bygones be bygones? Moreover, those are just some small problems; if it weren't for your exposure, I might not even think my actions had any problem to this day."

"Thanks to your reminder, this finally let me suddenly realize, also let me wake up as from a dream, deeply realizing my own mistakes in conduct."

"Besides, after recent careful consideration, I really feel I shouldn't have done that, so——that's why I wanted to come here to talk about cooperation."

"I hope you can give me a chance." His face full of smile, and even more so, he said word by word, speaking all kinds of nice words.

But his eyes had no trace of a smile.

His behavior, Jiang Cheng could tell at a glance that he was a restless troublemaker.

"Believe his endless nonsense?"

"Jiang Cheng is no fool; how could he possibly really cooperate with him?"

"This matter probably has no room for negotiation." Jiang Cheng flatly refused: "I won't cooperate with artists of tainted reputation, just like I wouldn't with a company of tainted reputation."

"So, please just give up the idea of cooperating with me." Jiang Cheng looked at him with a relatively cold gaze, and he refused in a firm, word‑by‑word manner.

The other's face suddenly darkened, but only for a second; he quickly adjusted his state and said somewhat aggrieved: "Are you sure you don't want to reconsider properly?"

"This matter, I sincerely want to cooperate with you; as long as you agree, I definitely hope we two can join forces!"

From his outward attitude, his words seem genuinely sincere.

But Jiang Cheng wouldn't believe it.

Facing his remarks, Jiang Cheng's thoughts never changed.

"Indeed, there is no intention to cooperate."

Working with him, I'm afraid he'll sabotage things and cause him to lose money.

Jiang Cheng, you'd better be cautious!

But I didn't expect the other side to play the emotion card?

Well, as Jiang Cheng's words fell, the man before him lowered his eyelids, smiling somewhat bitterly.

"I really appreciate your ability; precisely because I appreciate it, I had already done a lot of mental preparation before coming, and I also guessed you would definitely refuse me. I just didn't expect you to refuse so ruthlessly." (End of chapter)
