“Okay, I’ll drive there now,” Jiang Tong nodded. Qian Mang quickly said, “Okay, Big Sister, what do you like to eat? I’ll let them prepare it first.”
Jiang Tong didn’t care much about food. After saying a few more words to Qian Mang, she hung up the phone. After driving past the intersection in front, Jiang Tong changed her route and headed toward the Xing Fu Lou restaurant on the west side of the city.
Ten minutes later, when Jiang Tong was still on her way to the Xing Fu Lou restaurant, the phone rang again. This time, it was the person she had spoken to before Qian Mang. The person said in a low voice, “One hour later, at the Big Tree Cafe on the east side of the city.”
“I have something to do at the moment. I’ll be there later.” After saying that, Jiang Tong hung up the phone. After more than ten minutes, Jiang Tong parked the car in Xing Fu Lou’s hotel. As soon as she entered, the receptionist came over and said, “Excuse me, are you Miss Jiang who has an appointment with Boss Qian? Please come upstairs.” The receptionist took Jiang Tong to the third floor and didn’t leave until she reached the door of the innermost private room. Not all hotels and restaurants had this kind of service whereby the staff would personally lead the way. However, this place was where Qian Mang treated the guests to dinner, how could it be an ordinary place?
Jiang Tong pushed the door open and entered. Qian Mang was not the only one in the room. There were also his two assistants and bodyguards. The food on the big round table had not been officially served. There was only tea.
“Big Sister, you’re here?” Qian Mang saw Jiang Tong come in and immediately stood up. He greeted Jiang Tong warmly and then motioned to the others, “You guys go out first.” His bodyguards and assistants all went out and Qian Mang warmly welcomed Jiang Tong to sit down.
“You and I don’t have to be like outsiders. Just say what you want to say.” After Jiang Tong sat down, she first looked at Qian Mang and smiled. Then, she directly asked, “What’s the situation now? Did you get no chance at all?”
“Aiyo, Big Sister, you don’t know. Look at my head…” Qian Mang was very agitated when he mentioned this. He even brought his head closer for Jiang Tong to see. There was a wound on his head but it wasn’t very serious. It was a wound the size of a fingernail, but because it was scabbed with a very deep color, and his hair was also black, it was hard to see it if one didn’t look closely.
“Did your first love, Wu Hui, give you a beating?” Jiang Tong looked at Qian Mang and asked.
“That’s right! In order to chase me away, she threw everything on the ground and even hit me with a teacup. The wound on my head was caused by the teacup. I was humble and all and I…” Qian Mang said, he then looked at Jiang Tong eagerly. “Big Sister, you have to help me. Just treat it as if I’m begging you for a favor. We are all friends, right? With my relationship with Zhou Mingfei and Zhou Jingyun, you can’t just leave me to die. Big Sister, if you can make the mother and son acknowledge me, I’ll do anything in the future. Really, Big Sister…”
It seemed that Qian Mang really had no choice. The main reason was that he could only approach them gently. He could only humble himself and beg Wu Hui and his son, Wu Junsheng, for forgiveness. He could not use forceful methods. He could not force Wu Hui and Wu Junsheng to acknowledge him so he could not use threatening tactics. That would only make the situation worse. Moreover, he knew that he was in the wrong. He could not bear to touch Wu Hui and Wu Junsheng. Wu Hui and Wu Junsheng did not lack money at the moment. Their lives were also very prosperous. The anger in Wu Hui’s heart and the hatred Wu Junsheng had for his incompetent father could not be settled with just a little bit of money. No matter how much money Qian Mang had, it would be useless. In fact, there was only one way to deal with this kind of matter. He could only thicken his skin and coax them, do more things, and slowly try to win them over. It would be alright after a while, but Qian Mang was an impatient person.
“Brother Qian, don’t be anxious. We haven’t eaten yet. Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious,” Jiang Tong smiled and tried to persuade him.
“Ah, yes, yes, yes. Big Sister, you’re right.” Qian Mang also felt that he was too anxious. As he laughed and said, he went along with Jiang Tong’s words. Now that he had to ask for a favor from Jiang Tong, of course, he had to go along with her words. Although he didn’t know what Jiang Tong did exactly, and he had asked Zhou Jingyun about this in private, Zhou Jingyun didn’t say much. He just said that Jiang Tong had just graduated from university and came to work for his company. Zhou Jingyun even said that he and Jiang Tong met at the campus recruitment fair. Of course, Qian Mang could hear that this was an excuse. Jiang Tong couldn’t be an ordinary university graduate, and he was very sure of this! It was Jiang Tong who told Qian Mang about the cheating couple who wanted to murder him for money, his first love, and his son. He felt that Jiang Tong must have some unknown background or great ability, he also felt that Jiang Tong would probably know more about this matter, so he came to ask Jiang Tong for help.
