"You guys are here too?"

Li Man also saw Jiang Chen and Ye Yuwan, her eyes betraying a hint of suspicion as she looked at Jiang Chen.

Ye Yuwan pulled Jiang Chen and, without acknowledging Li Man, they headed straight into the office building.

Watching the two's retreating figures, Li Man's gaze darkened, and she ground her teeth as she stepped inside.

After entering the office building, Li Man made her way to Weishou Company.

"Is your Vice President Zhang Peng in?" Li Man approached the Weishou reception desk, her tone laced with annoyance.

The receptionist was taken aback, but knowing that Li Man was their VP's girlfriend, did not dare to be disrespectful and nodded gently, "He's in, I'll call him on the intercom."

After a while, a man dressed in a suit and leather shoes approached the front desk with a smile on his face, "Darling, what brings you here?"

"Can't I come?" Li Man said, obviously irritated.

Zhang Peng was startled, then asked in surprise, "What happened? Who upset you?"

"My poor ex-boyfriend, he..." Li Man recounted what happened at the hotel entrance.

In a disdainful tone, Zhang Peng replied, "It's nothing. That girl you mentioned is probably just playing with him. A loser like him can't keep a beauty. Besides, in my eyes, you are the most beautiful!"

A smile spread across Li Man's face, and she playfully scolded Zhang Peng, "You're terrible!"

Just after chiding him, Zhang Peng's smile froze on his face, his gaze fixated behind Li Man, filled with amazement.

Li Man was startled and turned around to see a man and a woman walking out of the guest room.

Jiang Chen and Ye Yuwan!

Instantly, Li Man clenched her teeth in anger. Just moments ago, he had claimed she was the prettiest, and now his eyes were glued to that vixen!

Li Man wished she could gouge out her boyfriend's eyeballs, but instead, she pinched Zhang Peng's waist fiercely.

"Ah!" Zhang Peng cried out in pain, snapping back to reality.

"What are you looking at!" Li Man glared at Zhang Peng before pointing at Jiang Chen and his companion, "That's Jiang Chen and his girlfriend."

"Oh, them? What are they doing here at the company?" Zhang Peng changed the subject to mask his embarrassment, then straightened his suit, saying haughtily, "Baby, watch me make him look foolish."

Saying this, he strode up to Jiang Chen, blocking their path with an arrogant look, "Are you here for an interview at our company?"

"I..."

Jiang Chen was just about to answer.

At that moment, Li Man walked over and called out sweetly, "Honey, this is my ex-boyfriend. Make sure you find him a good job. Even though he's not capable of much, positions like security or janitorial work, he can still handle."

Jiang Chen glanced at Li Man and instantly understood what was going on.

"You belong to this company?" Ye Yuwan's eyes twinkled as she turned to Zhang Peng with a light laugh.

Zhang Peng puffed out his chest, "I am Wei Dongqiang, the Executive Vice President of Weishou Company. May I know how to address this lady?"

"Executive Vice President? Is it a big deal?" Ye Yuwan stared straight at Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng was taken aback for a moment, somewhat at a loss for what Ye Yuwan meant.

"Vice President Zhang, please come to the meeting room quickly; the investors have arrived, and the boss wants us to gather!" a man came up to Zhang Peng and whispered to him.

"They're here? That's great!"

Zhang Peng's face lit up with joy, then once again looked at Jiang Chen with an arrogant demeanor, "Since you're a friend of Xiao Man, you're my friend as well."

With that said, he passed over an impressive-looking business card, "Remember, when you go for your interview, mention my name; it will definitely be of use."

Jiang Chen took the business card with a peculiar expression and nodded, "Oh, okay."

And Zhang Peng handed out his business card and turned to leave.

However, Li Man deliberately asked Zhang Peng again, "So the investor has arrived?"

"Yes, that's the big boss, always punctual. He invested fifty million in our capital, we're going to make a fortune in the future!" Zhang Peng cooperated, deliberately speaking loudly.

Li Man grinned and cast a glance at Jiang Chen, her tone mocking, "What's the use of having a beautiful girlfriend? Do you see? This is real power! My boyfriend is definitely going to make it big in the future, while you, you'll just be fit to watch your pretty girlfriend and then eat instant noodles and drink tap water!"

"I'm willing to follow Brother Chen and eat instant noodles and drink tap water, it's just that Brother Chen won't allow it!" Again, before Jiang Chen could speak up, Yè Yùwǎn challenged Li Man and then gave Jiang Chen a grievous look.

With a wry smile, Jiang Chen watched Yè Yùwǎn lock horns with Li Man, gently shook his head, took Yè Yùwǎn's hand, and said, "Let's go, we should be leaving too."

Zhang Peng and Li Man did not catch on and walked ahead of Jiang Chen and Yè Yùwǎn.

Jiang Chen and Yè Yùwǎn followed behind, heading in the direction of the conference room.

Yè Yùwǎn initially wanted to overtake them, but Jiang Chen extended his hand to hold her back and whispered, "Let it go, a momentary dispute is meaningless. Letting them see the real difference, now that's meaningful."

Yè Yùwǎn was slightly startled, thinking of the upcoming contract signing, she immediately understood and watched the backs of Zhang Peng and Li Man, her mouth curving into a smile.

After arriving at the conference room, Zhang Peng found that the boss, Wei Dongqiang, and a group of company executives had already assembled. He hurriedly went to stand by several vice presidents, while Li Man stood to one side, becoming a spectator.

Suddenly, an employee at the door came in, whispering, "They're here, the investor is here..."

"Quick! Applaud!"

Wei Dongqiang shouted excitedly, leading the applause.

"Clap, clap, clap, clap—"

Everyone clapped their hands enthusiastically. They were all very happy; they had heard that the major investor had put in fifty million this round, bringing the company's valuation to over a hundred million. Most of those present had shares, so they were all getting rich.

Both Zhang Peng and Li Man clapped vigorously, their palms turning red.

Especially Li Man, her neck stretched out long, couldn't wait to see the grandeur of the major investor.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

Amidst the applause, a series of measured footsteps were heard as Jiang Chen and Yè Yùwǎn entered the conference room.

Gah!

Zhang Peng and Li Man were stunned.

What were these two doing here?

"Ah, Mr. Jiang, please! This way!" At that moment, Wei Dongqiang stopped clapping, came over to Jiang Chen enthusiastically, and gestured towards the central seat at the front of the podium in the conference room.

Zhang Peng and Li Man were dumbfounded, staring blankly at this scene.

Could it be that this Jiang Chen is...

Suddenly, a bad feeling welled up in their hearts.

Jiang Chen smiled and nodded, approached Zhang Peng, suddenly grinned, "I'm sorry, Vice President Zhang, but I'm not here for an interview, I'm the investor. So, I don't need your business card either."

Zhang Peng was dumbstruck!

His mouth hung open, but he couldn't say a word.

Jiang Chen smiled, took the business card that Zhang Peng had just handed to him and stuffed it back into the already stupefied Zhang Peng's hand.

Then, without even glancing at Li Man behind him, he led Yè Yùwǎn straight away.

However, Li Man to the side felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her entire body went numb, and she stared at Jiang Chen and Yè Yùwǎn walking up to the podium in a daze.
