The butler politely invited them, and Rose looked at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng put down the glass of water in her hand, nodded slightly at the butler, and said, "Please lead the way."
"Miss Jiang, this way please."
Jiang Cheng kicked aside her skirt and followed behind the butler, one after the other, heading towards the spiral staircase to the second floor.
Rose tried to follow, but was stopped by a look from Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng followed the butler to the second floor, passed through a corridor of over ten meters, and stopped in front of a thick, valuable double door.
The butler knocked on the door, reported inside, and invited Jiang Cheng back in.
Jiang Cheng nodded slightly and walked into the room.
The room was dimly lit, and there was a person standing by the window facing away from her.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Cheng’s first thought was: I wonder if the glass is tempered? If there were an assassination...
"Miss Jiang, I finally meet you."
The old man standing with his back to Jiang Cheng turned around, his eagle-like eyes sharply fixed on her, and he spoke slowly, "It’s you who made me lose an outstanding son."
"No need for such subtle thank-yous, I did indeed make some contributions to your family’s selection."
Jiang Cheng steadily met the old man’s gaze.
After ten seconds, the old man’s somber laughter echoed.
"Good, no wonder you’re someone Rose willingly helps."
"Thank you for your affirmation."
Jiang Cheng thanked him again, and this time the old man genuinely laughed out loud, inviting Jiang Cheng to sit, asking, "Why choose to cooperate with Rose?"
Why?
Of course, because she knows Rose’s bottom line.
But naturally, she couldn’t tell him that.
Jiang Cheng sat down and responded, "Rose is arrogant, proud, and makes unilateral decisions..."
Jiang Cheng listed several of Rose’s flaws, paused for a few seconds, and then said, "But Rose has principles."
"A family cannot go far relying only on underhanded tactics."
The old man showed an appreciative look.
"Well said."
The old man sighed, his hand exploring the cane said, "Times have changed."
It’s not like their era where fighting and killing could solve everything.
"I admire your character... you’re here to do business with us, aren’t you?"
"Yes!"
Jiang Cheng hid none of her ambition.
The old man revealed a hint of haughtiness, saying, "Ambition is good, but you’re not quite there yet."
"A small food factory from Hua Xia is not enough for me."
Jiang Cheng did not show any negative expression to the old man’s words. In fact, she agreed and said, "You’re right, actually, I can’t agree to do business with my food factory as you wish."
"You probably don’t know, my food factory has supply orders in Hua Xia as well as supermarket orders in Europe; there’s really no extra capacity to cooperate with you."
Jiang Cheng explained clearly, and for the first time, the old man showed a puzzled expression.
"Then why did you come to M Country?"
"To do business."
Jiang Cheng displayed her signature sly smile, which unfortunately, the old man opposite did not recognize.
"I would appreciate if you could let my assistant in for a moment, he has some of my documents preserved."
