Chapter 265 The ex-wife of a disabled boss becomes cannon fodder (3)
In the center of the Imperial Capital, on the top floor of the Guomao Building, Mo Zhoujing looked at the news handed over by his secretary, his dark eyes darkening slightly under his lenses.
"So, Jiang's charity company bought the qualification to build the cross-river bridge a month ago?"
"Yes, nearly ten days earlier than us."
"Who is running that company now?"
"It's Jiang Jianbing's daughter, Jiang Lai."
"Jiang Lai..."
The man lowered his eyes and looked at the information sheet that had been at the bottom of his file.
He took it out and took a look, confirming that it was the woman he had chosen to marry not long ago, and the woman who had just rejected him.
"Still in college."
"Well, but I think she was lucky this time. Otherwise, with her ability as a college student, how could she have known in advance that the policy would be relaxed."
"Good luck? I don't believe that someone can be so lucky. Sixty million is not a small amount of money for the current Jiang family."
At least it's not a small amount of money you can give your daughter to squander.
"Then you mean that Jiang Lai also knew that the policy would be relaxed? But how could she know it earlier than we did?"
After all, when they were ready to invest, they found that the construction qualification had already been bought by someone else.
Mo Zhoujing looked at the photo on the file, then put it aside casually.
"We will know what happened later."
"Jiang's investment this time has just made up for the shortage in the capital chain. He does not need our help, so he rejects your request."
Mo Zhoujing turned his wheelchair and came to the window, looking at the high-rise buildings that were under his feet, his tone was calm.
"She made more than that this time."
Jiang's shortfall is only a few hundred million, but the money from reselling investment and construction qualifications this time should be close to two billion. It seems that Jiang's really made a lot of money this time.

"Mr. Jiang, here is an invitation letter to a charity dinner for you to take a look at."
The assistant handed Jiang Lai an invitation letter with "Fashion Volo Charity Dinner" written on the gilded paper.
This is also a well-known charity event organizer in the industry. It will invite many celebrities to perform and then use this event to let wealthy people like them donate.
"Well, help me choose some clothes and put them in the schedule."
When I got home in the evening, Jiang's mother had arranged for someone to prepare a table full of delicious food to celebrate Jiang Lai's birthday.
In the original owner's memory, every birthday was celebrated grandly, and it was always celebrated outside with a group of friends. This birthday, Jiang Lai was too lazy to socialize with those friends, so he just told Jiang's mother to celebrate it at home.
Of course Jiang's mother was happy. She was busy cooking and preparing a lot of good wine and food in the banquet room. She also invited Zhao Sili, who used to be Jiang Han but is now Zhou Ruantian's fiancé.
The Jiang family attaches great importance to Zhao Sili, who is more natural to change his fiancée than a piece of clothing. After all, his father is the president of Gaoqi Bank, especially Jiang's father. Zhao Sili called him to his office as soon as he arrived. I went in and didn't come out until dinner was served.
Zhao Sili was handsome, tall, and polite. He took the initiative to open a stool for Zhou Ruantian, and later gave Jiang Lai an expensive set of jewelry as a birthday gift.
Jiang Lai accepted it with great satisfaction, shouting brother-in-law more cordially than anyone else.
Zhou Ruantian on the side did not have much reaction. Unlike the shyness and excitement when she first met Zhao Sili, she was now sitting upright and her attitude towards Zhao Sili was also very cold.
After dinner, everyone listened to music and chatted casually. At this time, Zhou Ruantian walked up to Jiang Lai and handed her a small pink box.
Jiang Lai opened it and saw a pen inside. After saying thank you, Jiang Lai put the gift aside.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
Zhou Ruantian looked at the gift placed beside Jiang Lai. After feeling a little disappointed, he quickly asked curiously and cautiously.
"Sister, I heard that you are getting married soon, right? Why don't you invite him over for your birthday this time for everyone to see?"
Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows, took a slow sip from the red wine glass in his hand, and looked down at her.
"You are quite well informed."
Zhou Ruantian felt a little nervous.
"So something good is going to happen to our family?"
"Yeah."
After feeling inexplicably disappointed for a while, Zhou Ruantian didn't intend to ask any more questions, but she heard Jiang Lai say something lazily again.
"But it's not my good thing, it's your good thing."
"My good deed?"
"Yes, Si Li and his father just discussed it in the study and are planning to hold another engagement ceremony for you two."
Zhou Ruantian's smile faded a little when she heard this.
As soon as the dinner was over, she hurriedly went to ask Father Jiang.
"Dad, what did Zhao Sili say to you?"
Father Jiang was reading the newspaper and looked up at her.
"We have discussed your engagement. During this time, you can also buy some things to prepare. Si Li is a nice kid. You can go out with him more when you have time."
"Dad, since he is already engaged to Jiang Han, why is he still engaged to me? I don't like him."
Father Jiang raised his head with stern eyes.
"Emotions can be cultivated. That boy Si Li is willing to get engaged to you because he has a good impression of you. If you can't look down on such an outstanding child, who else can you look up to?"
"But I'm not the only one he has a crush on. Dad, although I grew up in a poor family, I also want to pursue what I want. Dad, although I didn't grow up beside you, I always knew that you really loved me. My..."
Father Jiang sighed, took off his glasses and looked at the little daughter in front of him. Indeed, he felt guilty.
But Zhao Sili is really good. The Jiang family has already set a high standard for marrying him, but in the end, the little daughter in front of them still doesn’t want it.
Seeing Jiang's father's attitude soften, Zhou Ruantian silently stepped forward and took out a box of medicine from his pocket and handed it over.
"There was something wrong with your voice yesterday. This is medicine specially designed to treat throat discomfort. Remember to take it."
After putting down the medicine, Zhou Ruantian turned and left, leaving Father Jiang looking at the medicine on the table and sighing helplessly.
What a really heartbreaking child.
——
On the day of the charity dinner, almost everyone was accompanied by their companions, and only Jiang Lai entered the venue.
I found my seat on the seat and as soon as I sat down, I saw a foreign man sitting at another table not far away.
Dressed in a Tang suit, he looked elegant and easy-going. Many people came up to say hello, but they were all dismissed with a few words.
Jiang came to look at Sika's name on the seat next to him, then directly picked up his own name and walked forward. He placed his name there calmly and kicked the original name aside.
When the foreign man saw what Jiang Lai was doing, he frowned and turned away.
Jiang Lai sat down without saying hello, but took out the mirror and started touching up his makeup. (End of chapter)
