BXBX NOVEL Chapter 166
Jiang Che pushed open the door of the private room, and the first thing he saw was a woman with fair skin and beautiful looks.
“Xiao Qingge, right? I am Jiang Che…” Jiang Che sat opposite Xiao Qingge, his face adorned with a smile as warm as spring.
Looking at the woman sitting opposite him, Jiang Che’s eyes were filled with a hint of astonishment. Indeed, as the main female lead in “The Return of the War God,” her beauty was undeniable.
“Hello, Young Master Jiang, I am Xiao Qingge…” Xiao Qingge said somewhat nervously. Although Jiang Che seemed very approachable, she couldn’t help but feel a bit tense.
After all, his background and status were not something she could afford to offend.
“Are you afraid of me?” Jiang Che looked at Xiao Qingge and asked calmly. “No need to be afraid of me, I don’t bite.”
“I also know why you’re here today. My mother has already told me everything before you came. Don’t be nervous, I won’t force you.”
Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Xiao Qingge felt a bit relieved, and her tension eased. She believed Jiang Che’s words. With his prestigious status, he must have seen many beauties.
Although she was very beautiful, it might not necessarily catch his eye. Her previous worries were indeed unnecessary. Realizing this, Xiao Qingge felt a bit self-deprecating.
She thought she had misjudged Jiang Che, as she didn’t really know him at all.
“Would you like something to eat?”
Jiang Che didn’t dwell too much on this topic with Xiao Qingge and casually flipped through the menu, asking her. This woman’s thoughts were quite sensitive, so he decided not to rush things.
“Anything is fine.”
“Then let’s have braised duck, flounder, and Eight Treasure Tofu.” Jiang Che casually ordered a few dishes and had the waiter leave.
“Has your Xiao family been facing a financial crisis recently?” Jiang Che poured himself a cup of hot tea, seemingly asking casually.
“Yes, a business partner ran away with the money…” Xiao Qingge said with some bitterness, summarizing the situation in one sentence.
Such incidents were quite common in Jiuzhou Kingdom. It was this incident that put the Xiao family’s small company at risk of bankruptcy.
“How much more do you need to fill the gap and get the company running normally?”
“About fifty million or so…” Xiao Qingge pondered for a moment and said. This figure was what her father told her; she wasn’t exactly sure.
Hearing Xiao Qingge’s words, Jiang Che also fell into thought. Although fifty million was a small amount to him, it was a huge sum for the Xiao family.
They were living on a knife’s edge, and their company was not large to begin with. But he wasn’t someone with an overflowing sense of sympathy and wouldn’t help Xiao Qingge without reason.
“I can help you fill this gap, but you will have to pay a corresponding price.” Jiang Che glanced at Xiao Qingge, thinking that fifty million was just half a month’s pocket money for him, not much. If he could gain a main female lead in return, it would be worth it.
Moreover, knowing the plot, Jiang Che knew this woman was not just a pretty face; she was the future business queen of Linjiang City.
In the original story, Chen Feng’s company only gained a foothold in Linjiang City under her management. If he could win her over, she could be a valuable asset to the Jiang family.
“I need to think about it…” Xiao Qingge hesitated for a moment and said. She didn’t expect Jiang Che to be so direct.
She understood his meaning. After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, and Jiang Che wouldn’t help her for no reason. His request was actually beneficial to her, considering fifty million was a significant sum.
“Of course, no problem. I won’t force you.” Jiang Che smiled.
At this moment, the waiter brought the dishes, and Jiang Che used the opportunity to change the topic.
“The food is here, let’s eat.” Thus, Jiang Che and Xiao Qingge chatted casually while eating.
The atmosphere was very harmonious, and Xiao Qingge’s impression of Jiang Che changed somewhat.
Although Jiang Che made his intentions clear from the start, he never looked at her with lustful eyes, only with admiration.
…
“I heard there’s a singer performing in Linjiang City tonight. Would you like to go and see?” After dinner, Jiang Che paid the bill and looked at Xiao Qingge with a smile.
That so-called Song Tao had already arrived in Linjiang City, and the concert was taking place nearby at Tianfu Square. Jiang Che planned to see what was going on, considering Song Tao was a protagonist.
“Which singer? Song Tao?” Xiao Qingge was a bit surprised and then asked in confusion.
She often watched short videos on her phone and knew that Song Tao had come to Linjiang City. She didn’t expect someone like Jiang Che to be interested in a singer’s concert.
Seeing Xiao Qingge’s confusion, Jiang Che smiled and said, “I usually like listening to music, and I think Song Tao’s ‘Blue and White Porcelain’ is pretty good, so I want to see it live.”
“Then I’ll trouble Young Master Jiang to take me there.” Xiao Qingge smiled softly and said confidently.
She wasn’t afraid that Jiang Che would trick her like other second-generation rich kids. She felt that Jiang Che was not that kind of person. Her first impression of him was that of a gentleman, and she trusted her intuition.
“Let’s go then.” Jiang Che looked at Xiao Qingge and, without saying much, got up and walked out of the private room. Xiao Qingge followed closely behind.
…
Downstairs at the restaurant, Jiang Che led Xiao Qingge to his Bugatti Veyron, floored the accelerator, and the car shot out.
It sped through the brightly lit roads of Linjiang City like a phantom, moving so fast it left no trace. Other cars gave way, knowing that scratching such an expensive car would ruin their lives, leaving them in debt forever.
A few minutes later, Jiang Che parked the car at Tianfu Square, took Xiao Qingge, and headed towards a nearby stadium. Song Tao’s concert was held there and was about to start.
