Chapter 475: 420 New Forces in Car Manufacturing

Whether it was the rest from a good night’s sleep or the medicine Jiang Chen bought, Miss Shi emerged from her bath revitalized, radiating health and energy, clear-headed and refreshed.

Dressed in a light grey business suit with a matching skirt and accompanied by a pair of elegant diamond earrings, her entire demeanor was commanding, both noble and dignified.

However, when she walked out of the bedroom, she found that a certain someone was lying on the sofa, just like she had been earlier.

"What’s wrong?"

"I think I caught a cold."

Jiang Chen’s voice was weak, and it really did seem like he was under the weather.

Shi Qianxi almost burst into laughter.

This guy.

Quite the actor.

Even if a cold could be contagious, it wouldn’t show symptoms this quickly, right?

But she didn’t call him out on it, and instead expressed her concern, "Then what about later... you..."

"I’m afraid I can’t make it."

Jiang Chen replied quickly.

"No worries, I’ll go make you some medicine. The one you gave me worked quite well. You just lie there, I’ll be right back to feed you."

Feed again?!

Jiang Chen immediately sat up from the sofa, his movements exceptionally agile.

Shi Qianxi blinked in surprise.

"How come you’re up?"

"I think I’m fine now," Jiang Chen said, nonchalantly.

"Really? You’re okay?"

Shi Qianxi didn’t seem reassured and stepped closer to check on him.

A fragrance, perhaps from body wash, shampoo, or perfume, wafted over, captivating the senses.

Jiang Chen instinctively moved to the side.

"What are you doing?"

"I’m checking if you have a fever."

Indeed, a match of equals, a meeting of minds.

Both were quite adept at learning on the fly.

"I’m fine."

Jiang Chen hurriedly said, "Keep your distance from me."

Shi Qianxi got irritated, plopped down next to him, glared at him and said, "Am I a monster? Are you afraid I’m going to eat you?"

Well, to tell the truth.

This lady might actually be capable of devouring someone.

Seeing him looking at her warily, Shi Qianxi was both annoyed and amused, genuinely wanting to call in the bodyguard to teach this ungrateful fellow a good lesson.

In the end, who was taking advantage of whom?

Just then.

There was a knock at the door.

Shi Qianxi gave him a glare, stood up, and went to answer it.

"Miss, it’s about time to go."

"I know."

Shi Qianxi closed the door and turned around, "Let’s go."

The social engagement was held at a high-end business club, primarily to showcase Shi Qianxi in front of Hancheng’s high society and promote the young new head of JinHai Corporation.

As her assistant, Jiang Chen stayed close at Shi Qianxi’s side, skillfully collecting a whole stack of elaborate business cards.

"Director Shi, this is the founder of Tushun Automobile, Mr. Dai Hui Dai."

Duan Zhongxin led Shi Qianxi to a group of middle-aged men.

Hearing the name, Shi Qianxi smiled and took the initiative to greet him, "Mr. Dai, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

Creating his own electric car brand and determined to promote a revolution in domestic automobiles, Dai Hui was flattered. By age, he was clearly an elder to Shi Qianxi, and should’ve been close to Duan Zhongxin in years, yet he behaved with considerable humility.

"I don’t deserve such praise, the development of Truesun owes much to President Duan’s support and Jin Hai’s support, Director Shi, a toast to you."

"I’m feeling a bit unwell and cannot drink alcohol, I hope you can understand, President Dai."

"Director Shi, you’re too kind."

Shi Qianxi wasn’t impolite either, turning to say, "Could you drink a toast to President Dai on my behalf?"

As an assistant, Comrade Jiang Chen obviously had no room to refuse.

There were also a few people around Dai Hui, who must not have been insignificant, though at that moment, it wasn’t their place to interject.

Seeing the new helmsman of Jin Hai having a young man stand in for a toast in such an unreasonable manner left everyone somewhat astonished, yet no one acted rashly.

After sipping some champagne, both sides exchanged a few more pleasantries.

Once Shi Qianxi had left, one person beside Dai Hui couldn’t help but whisper introspectively, "Seeing is believing indeed."

"Yes, I’ve heard that Jin Hai’s new head has quite the temper, but seeing today, the rumors were misleading."

"Shh, keep it down."

The one issuing the caution was particularly cautious himself, looking around to ensure they weren’t overheard.

He was one of Truesun Automobile’s parts suppliers, a reasonably sized boss in his own right, but by all accounts, he didn’t qualify to enter such a high-profile gathering.

His attendance was solely due to his personal relationship with Truesun Automobile’s founder, Dai Hui.

"I think Jin Hai is really going to increase its investment in Truesun, congratulations."

He sent his friend congratulations.

Although he couldn’t join the conversation earlier, just being familiar in front of the boss of Jin Hai had already satisfied him.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t even have the chance to meet a big figure like the chairperson of Jin Hai, let alone someone like Duan Zhongxin, head of a Jin Hai branch.

Dai Hui was beaming with joy.

Even if Shi Qianxi didn’t explicitly say it, as a businessman, which one isn’t a master at reading between the lines?

Jin Hai has always valued the electric vehicle sector, and their own industry even includes battery research and development, leading the pack in the battery field, not just domestically but globally as well.

Because of their outlook on the future of electric vehicles, Jin Hai invested in many EV companies. Truesun is among them and is currently the best performing one. Since the first vehicle was launched, sales have steadily increased, with last month’s sales breaking through seven thousand units.

Of course.

Compared to traditional gasoline car giants, these figures might seem negligible, and in the realm of new automotive forces, it isn’t particularly outstanding, but it can still be considered promising for the future.

Through Shi Qianxi’s earlier "pleasant demeanor," not to mention others, Dai Hui himself was keenly aware that Jin Hai might indeed place greater strategic emphasis on the EV industry going forward. In fact, Duan Zhongxin had always been discussing this with him, though nothing had been decided yet.

At present.

The new queen of Jin Hai’s tour of Hancheng might just cement that decision.

Even though he was quite thrilled inside, Dai Hui wouldn’t show it on his face.

"It’s still too early to talk about these things now. I can’t place my hopes on others, after all, Jin Hai isn’t a charity. What matters most is continuing to focus on the quality of Truesun’s cars and improving our market competitiveness. That’s the right path."

"President Dai is truly thinking from a high perspective. No wonder Truesun has developed so swiftly. I’m ashamed."

After a while of small talk, both friends stepped aside to speak privately.

"Chi Bei said that yesterday he went to visit Miao Miao at the university, and the two kids even had a meal together."

"Really?"

Ren Yan, who was a subordinate supplier to Dai Hui, was quite surprised.

"That girl hasn’t mentioned it to me."

He quickly asked, "How did the two kids get along?"

"Not bad."

Dai Hui smiled and said, "They’ve known each other since day one, didn’t they always stick together as children?"

Perhaps recalling the funny incidents of the children’s younger days, Ren Yan also smiled.

"That’s right, they were so close as kids, I didn’t expect them to grow up to become somewhat estranged."

"As long as they keep in touch, they’ll naturally become familiar again."

Dai Hui disagreed and jokingly raised his champagne glass, "For the sake of being called ’grandpa’ by Miao Miao, I’ve been waiting so long my hair is nearly white."

Ren Yan’s face was filled with a smile.

"That must have been hard on you."

The two clinked their glasses together cheerfully.
