After signing the contract, Jiang Cheng and Mr. John returned to the restaurant, and the brunch gathering was still ongoing.
Everyone chatted while eating.
Mr. John, fulfilling a bet, felt that since he had spent money, others should spend some too, and pointed out several other participants in the bet.
A few agreed swiftly, but they had no business dealings, merely purchased a few gift boxes to add onto Mr. John’s order.
Mr. John agreed with a smile and looked towards Smith.
"Smith, would you like to purchase gift boxes too?"
Smith proudly raised his glass and said, "No, I don’t like these things."
His expression and tone seemed to suggest that these items sullied him.
Mr. John’s face turned a bit unpleasant, what did Smith mean?
Doubting his judgment?
He must know that Mr. John had invested in two thousand gift boxes, ready to take them back to his country for sale.
Jiang Cheng immediately stepped in to mediate, comforting Mr. John, "Mr. John, not everyone has your capabilities, please don’t trouble Mr. Smith."
Upon hearing this, Mr. John immediately showed a proud smile, and looked at Jiang Cheng saying, "Jiang, you’re absolutely right."
Smith’s expression turned ugly as he heard this and snorted, "I don’t have the capability? Are you joking? I said I just don’t like these things."
Jiang Cheng urged with an understanding look, "Mr. Smith, there’s no need for this."
Smith was even angrier.
What does this mean?
A mere translator looks down on me?
"Jiang, if you can come up with something I like, I would naturally buy it. I have the capability; it’s just that you don’t have the products."
Jiang Cheng wasn’t angry at all, calmly asking Smith.
"Mr. Smith, can you tell me what direction you’re looking for? If you don’t say, how will you know if we have it or not? Or perhaps this is just your excuse, that no matter what I bring out, you won’t like it."
Jiang Cheng’s slightly smiling skepticism caused Smith’s temper to rise.
He directly replied, "I own many gift shops, and the items I want must be unique and thoughtful. Are you sure Hua Xia can meet my needs?"
Jiang Cheng nodded affirmatively.
"You make a good point; perhaps I shouldn’t recommend anything then."
After speaking, Jiang Cheng turned to chat with others.
Smith, waiting for more, felt extremely uncomfortable.
Normally, shouldn’t you work hard to demonstrate your products?
But now, that’s it!!!
Smith glared at Jiang Cheng angrily, while Jiang Cheng began a conversation with others, even discussing food.
As Jiang Cheng enthusiastically praised Chef Dong, Smith approached, sitting opposite Jiang Cheng.
"Jiang, leaving others like that is very impolite, you said Hua Xia is the land of etiquette, didn’t you?"
Jiang Cheng said to Zack, who was listening, "I’m sorry, do you mind if I address the matter with Smith first?"
Zack was naturally happy to watch the drama unfold and gestured for Jiang to go ahead.
After thanking Zack, Jiang Cheng turned to Smith with a restrained smile.
"Mr. Smith, first interrupting others is impolite, secondly, I didn’t abruptly end our conversation. You asked if I had it, I said no, so since there’s none, is there any point in continuing?"
Jiang Cheng’s response left Smith speechless.
Apparently, it’s not really necessary.
But why did he feel so uncomfortable?
"Jiang, you should try harder. I know all of Hua Xia wants to do business with us."

Inside the room, Director Leng and Factory Director Fang arrived.
