Chapter 28 First Meeting with Jiang Huaimeng
The bathroom in a private villa.
The maids continued to give Jiang Huaimeng a full-body massage and pampering treatment every day.
Shen hope opened the door and walked in:
"President Jiang, I have something to tell you, it's about Lin Zheng."
Jiang Huaimeng slowly opened her eyes, which had been closed. Upon hearing Shen hope's voice, she gently raised her hand, and the maids, understanding her intention, took the things and left the room.
"What is it?"
Shen hope walked up to Jiang Huaimeng, who was wearing pajamas, and watched as her smart wheelchair changed from a reclining position to a sitting position.
She pointed to the cabinet next to her, and Shen hope picked up a comb from the cabinet.
While combing the other person's hair, he reported the news:
"Today, Lin Zheng, along with Xia Yi and his men, raided a restaurant in the southwest. They obtained a large amount of cash, but Lin Zheng used the money to buy uniforms for his men, and after they had a meal, they distributed it among themselves."
Furthermore, according to the detailed message Xia Yi sent, he also planned to eliminate some unruly small organizations in the Southwest region within the next month, intending to use their money as his first pot of gold for starting a business.
"Oh?" Jiang Huaimeng exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean by 'restaurant'? I've never heard of it before!"
"That restaurant is rather special. It's located in Xia Yi's jurisdiction, but it's a place that Xia Yi always avoided when she was in charge. It's said that the restaurant owner also employs more than a dozen people."
One of them was a murderer being pursued by the police. Lin Zheng did those things today to establish his authority among his men, and the way he cleaned them up was quite strange.
Shen hope reported Lin Zheng's specific actions to the other party in detail, commenting, "It's as if he already knew where the other party's headquarters was, catching them off guard without suffering any losses."
"I see. That's quite interesting. It seems the attempt to establish authority has been quite effective?"
Shen Xi said expressionlessly, "Xia Yi said it's very good. It's only the first day, and most of the brothers already admire him. Even if there are still some gossips, I believe those voices will all disappear within the next month."
Jiang Huaimeng smiled and said, "I told you he's a capable person; he wouldn't be unable to do something as simple as establishing authority in front of his subordinates."
"I didn't investigate thoroughly enough before. He really does things in ways that are quite unexpected."
There was a knock in the bathroom; it was the maid's voice: "Mr. Jiang, the phone is ringing."
"Who called?"
"The other person said his name was Lin Zheng and that he was looking for you."
Jiang Huaimeng exclaimed with delight, "Lin Zheng? I understand! Tell him to wait a moment, I'll be right downstairs."
"Yes, Mr. Jiang."
Shen hope roughly knew what it was about when she heard that it was Lin Zheng calling.
Jiang Huaimeng said, "Finally, he called. He said he wanted to thank me after we rescued him from the kidnappers last time. It's been several days already. Xiao hope pushed me downstairs."
Shen hope combed Jiang Huaimeng's hair, then pushed her slowly downstairs and answered the villa's landline.
Jiang Huaimeng's naturally cold voice had changed slightly, becoming much gentler.
It wasn't because she was talking to Lin Zheng, because the two of them had never actually met in person.
She was only showing the gentle personality that outsiders perceived as the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She was always like that to everyone, but when facing Lin Zheng, that gentleness was at most more intense and genuine.
"Hello? How can I help you?"
Lin Zheng, on the other end of the phone, didn't even recognize the sweet voice at first.
"Hello, this is Lin Zheng. Didn't your General Manager Jiang say he would call me back? Hasn't he come yet?"
Jiang Huaimeng smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, I am President Jiang, Jiang Huaimeng."
"Ah..." You're Jiang Huaimeng? Is this the same voice you used that was so sickly and delicate by my bedside the other day?! I can't recognize you at all: "Oh, Mr. Jiang, hello. I'm sorry I didn't know you were answering the phone. Your voice is so beautiful."
Jiang Huaimeng's lips curled slightly: "Thank you, but Young Master Lin, is there something you need for calling so late?"
"Well, Mr. Jiang, I was kidnapped a while ago, right? Haha, those kidnappers were really awful. If Mr. Jiang hadn't sent Shen hope with men to rescue me, who knows what would have happened to me now?"
To express my gratitude to President Jiang for saving my life, and also for our matter, I'd like to visit you tomorrow. Would that be alright? Is it convenient for you?
Jiang Huaimeng looked into the distance and pretended to be busy, saying, "Tomorrow? I have something to do tomorrow, so I probably can't."
"Something wrong? Oh, then let's do it another day."
Jiang Huaimeng's expression changed slightly. Although her voice was gentle, her expression wasn't actually that pleasant.
"I don't think Young Master Lin is genuinely trying to thank me. I haven't even specified what time I have to do tomorrow, and you're already changing the date?"
Lin Zheng's voice was sincere: "I'm being very sincere. I thought you wouldn't be free all day tomorrow. When are you free tomorrow? Can you still find the time? I'm free all day."
Jiang Huaimeng, fearing a second chance, said, "I have something to do this morning, so please come this afternoon and we can have a simple dinner at home tonight."
"Okay, no problem! Is that settled then?"
"it is good."
"Then see you there?!"
"See you there! If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. Bye, Young Master Lin."
"Bye-Bye."
After hearing the reply, Jiang Huaimeng was about to hang up the phone when she heard a dial tone.
This means that Lin Zheng had already hung up.
Her hand paused slightly, her face first showing confusion, then she understood something.
He laughed again and slowly put down the microphone.
Is this some kind of "playing hard to get" game? You clearly like me so much, yet you hang up the phone first, or even when I say I'm busy you won't come, are you trying to act like you don't care about me that much? So that I'll pay more attention to you.
So cute, she looks like a little puppy when she's being cunning.
"He's quite mischievous," Jiang Huaimeng commented.
Shen hope listened to the whole thing from the side. Just from the voice on the phone, she could imagine what kind of expression Lin Zheng was using when he spoke, and she also admitted, "This guy is really cheeky."
"Xiao hope, don't you think Lin Zheng is like some other kind of creature?"
Shen hope nodded: "Mm."
"Hmm? You think so too? Tell me about it."
"I'm hesitant to say it, afraid you'll be angry."
"Just say so, I give my permission."
Shen hope bluntly stated, "Like a dog. I felt that way from the first time we met. Dog-like and docile."
Although Shen hope and Jiang Huaimeng are in a superior-subordinate relationship, they grew up together and sometimes have interesting conversations.
Jiang Huaimeng retorted, "Are you saying I'm about to marry a dog?"
Shen hope finally showed an expression, and said in a panic:
"President Jiang, that's not what I meant..."
Jiang Huaimeng smiled inexplicably; she was actually looking forward to Lin Zheng's visit tomorrow.
"Actually, I think so too. His personality is a lot like a puppy, especially when he's asleep. Can you push me back to my room? Tomorrow morning, have them get up early and clean the yard and rooms so the guests don't think we're impolite. By the way, what should I wear tomorrow?"
"That dress from last time suited you very well, I thought it looked great on you, although you look good in anything, Mr. Jiang."
"Come with me to the room to try it on briefly. You should change into something too; don't wear this casual outfit tomorrow."
