Chapter 493: 437 misspoke

"I’ve got something to take care of, I’ll be out for a bit," Jiang Chen said.

The bodyguard nodded.

Of course, an ordinary assistant couldn’t just slack off whenever they wanted, but this one was clearly an exception.

As Jiang Chen walked out of the Hancheng Jinhai branch, he spotted a KFC by chance.

The glass display was packed with people.

Although more and more people consider it junk food nowadays, it was undeniable that in his childhood, it was a luxury item available only on birthdays.

Jiang Chen pushed open the door, queued up, and ordered a single meal.

A chicken burger, a bag of fries, a cola.

Holding the tray, he found a spot on the second floor, then he sent his location to Hong Xiaoyu and sat down to unwrap the burger, taking a bite.

The food hadn’t changed, yet it seemed to no longer taste like it did in his childhood.

Before long, Hong Xiaoyu entered the KFC, looked around, and then made his way upstairs.

"Bro," he said.

Unexpectedly to Jiang Chen, the kid even brought along that Miss Ren.

What was the situation?

Hadn’t he been drowning his sorrows in alcohol after being deeply hurt?

How had they gotten mixed up together so quickly?

Could it be that after the twists and turns, there was a light at the end of the tunnel?

Jiang Chen kept his composure, "Hungry? Want to order something to eat?"

"I’m not hungry," Hong Xiaoyu said, shaking his head. "Ren Miao, do you want something?"

Ren Miao, trailing behind, was visibly more reserved than a few days before, and silently shook her head.

The two sat down.

"Bro, where is Sister Qian Qian?" Hong Xiaoyu quickly asked.

This kid had been asking about Shi Qianxi every time he called.

"You need her for something?" Jiang Chen asked tentatively.

Hong Xiaoyu hesitated, glancing subconsciously at Ren Miao, seemingly harboring some unspeakable secret.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but feel curious.

"Jiang Chen, sorry to bother you, but actually, I asked Xiao Yu to bring me here to see you," Ren Miao spoke up, catching Jiang Chen a bit off guard.

"Bro, Ren Miao’s family... they’ve run into some trouble..." Hong Xiaoyu continued.

"What happened?" Jiang Chen was perplexed.

Hong Xiaoyu was about to speak when Ren Miao suddenly said, "I’m a bit thirsty, can you go buy me a drink?"

"Oh, sure, what would you like?"

"Fanta," she replied.

Hong Xiaoyu stood up.

Jiang Chen watched as he went downstairs.

"Jiang Chen, could you take me to see Director Shi?" Ren Miao’s voice carried over.

Jiang Chen turned his gaze back from the stairs, his eyebrows raising slightly.

Director Shi.

"Who?" he asked.

Ren Miao met his gaze,

"The beautiful sister who was sitting next to you that day."

Jiang Chen was taken aback.

"You know her?"

"I didn’t before," Ren Miao answered honestly. "But today I saw some news about her in the newspaper, her photo was in it."

Jiang Chen realized and then asked, "Does Xiao Yu know?"

"No, I didn’t tell him," Ren Miao replied quickly, shaking her head.

This girl.

She really was quite clever.

Of course.

Even if Hong Xiaoyu knew the real background of that lady, it wouldn’t be too important.

"What do you need from her?" Jiang Chen asked, his tone friendly.

Ren Miao clenched her hands.

"Xiao Yu already mentioned it. My family’s business has recently run into trouble, to the point that my dad is almost at his wit’s end..."

"Wait a moment," Jiang Chen interrupted politely.

"You and Xiao Yu are different, you should understand that doing business is not about running a charity hall."

"Brother Jiang Chen, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not trying to take advantage of Xiao Yu to get close to you. I just wanted to..."

Ren Miao spoke softly, "I don’t know what my family did wrong, what offended Jinhai. I just hoped to implore Director Shi to show mercy and spare my family."

Jiang Chen frowned.

"You’re saying that it’s Jinhai that’s giving your family a hard time?"

Ren Miao bowed her head, remaining silent.

Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered.

He really was unaware of this.

"What exactly happened? Tell me the details."

Upon hearing this, Ren Miao concisely recounted the situation, including the bank cutting off loans and various partners breaking contracts.

Jiang Chen quickly deduced the crux of the matter.

It was clear that a powerful hand was interfering from behind the scenes.

"Are you certain that it’s Jinhai Industrial targeting your family?"

Ren Miao hummed an affirmation.

The business world is like a battlefield.

It’s no surprise to witness swords and shadows.

But for Jinhai, with its massive scale, to trouble the Ren family, that was indeed unusual.

Would a person bother to pick on an ant?

Such an analogy might not be quite appropriate, but the gap between the Ren family and Jinhai was too vast; they were not on the same level at all.

Wealthy young masters in fine clothes would only trample on their peers. Trampling on ordinary folk isn’t that losing standing?

Unless...

The other party had provoked them first.

"When did all this trouble start?"

"Last week, I think."

Ren Miao cautiously asked, "Brother Jiang Chen, could you take me to see Director Shi?"

Jiang Chen looked at her.

"I think it’s better if you don’t meet her."

Ren Miao was taken aback.

"Don’t worry, I’ll ask around for you."

Ren Miao brightened again.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang Chen."

She hurriedly expressed her gratitude, her eyes full of appreciation.

Hong Xiaoyu, who had been queuing up for a long time, came back with a drink and placed it in front of Ren Miao.

"Here."

Jiang Chen watched the two of them, particularly observing Ren Miao’s expression.

He saw no sign of dissatisfaction or resentment.

"Bro, I didn’t finish what I was saying earlier. The Ren family..."

"Ren Miao has already told me."

Hong Xiaoyu’s tone halted, then tentatively asked, "Can Qian Qian really help?"

Ren Miao silently bit her straw, sipping her Fanta.

"I’ll ask around."

Jiang Chen said calmly.

The trio walked out of KFC.

"I won’t escort you back."

"Bro, you go do your thing."

"Hmm."

Jiang Chen nodded and bid them farewell.

Hong Xiaoyu watched his cousin enter a building and instinctively looked up.

"Jinhai Industrial..."

The large characters etched from top to bottom of the building shone brightly, dazzling his eyes.

In certain aspects, although he was not the sharpest, being able to get into the Geology University proved his intelligence was not an issue.

"Could Qian Qian be from Jinhai Industrial? That’s a top domestic company, a Fortune Global 500 enterprise. No wonder Qian Qian is so wealthy."

The excited youth exclaimed, "Ren Miao, maybe Qian Qian really can help you. She works at Jinhai Industrial, so she definitely knows a lot of powerful people. If she can find a financial institution or bank to lend to your family, then your family will be saved!"

"..."

Looking at his excited face, Ren Miao suddenly didn’t know what to say.

"You’ve got it backwards."

"What’s backwards?"

Hong Xiaoyu was confused.

"She’s not from Jinhai Industrial."

"Not?"

Hong Xiaoyu was surprised.

Ren Miao didn’t explain but continued walking along the street.

"My bro said that Qian Qian is here in Hancheng on a business trip. She is not from Jinhai Industrial, but she must have business dealings with them. That’s impressive enough. Qian Qian is very kind, Ren Miao, don’t worry. If there’s a way, she will definitely help."

Hong Xiaoyu followed beside her, babbling with an enthusiasm he had never shown before.
