Chapter 242: Walking Hormone, Human Succubus?
4:08 PM.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon slowed down and then slowly drove into the Jinwei Welding Materials factory area.
After entering, Jiang Tao, familiar with the layout, drove the car to the foot of the office building in the office area.
He parked the car in a vacant parking space.
“Welcome, Manager Jiang, to Jinwei Welding Materials!”
“Welcome, Manager Jiang!”
“Welcome, Manager Jiang!”
As soon as Jiang Tao got out of the car, Zhu Haibin and several senior management members of the company eagerly approached him with smiles and greeted him.
“Manager Zhu, Manager Liu, Manager Wang.”
Jiang Tao also smiled and shook hands with everyone one by one, and then they entered the office building, chatting and laughing.
Led by Zhu Haibin, everyone came to Jinwei Welding Materials’ largest conference room.
In the center of the conference room, a long conference table, six to seven meters long, was placed, and everyone took their seats.
Jiang Tao and Zhu Haibin had already discussed most of the details, and only the final contract signing and payment remained.
This time, many pleasantries were omitted. After a brief idle chat, Zhu Haibin directly handed the prepared shareholding agreement to Jiang Tao.
Jiang Tao didn’t really understand these matters. The reason he was cooperating with Jinwei Welding Materials was entirely due to the intelligence provided by System Brother.
Rustle, rustle, rustle~
Jiang Tao casually flipped through a few pages and was instantly put off by the dense text.
This shareholding agreement had thirty to forty pages, likely tens of thousands of words.
Although Jiang Tao trusted Zhu Haibin and knew he wouldn’t cheat him,
it was still a business involving an investment of over 5 million yuan, so he needed to be cautious.
“Please wait a moment, Manager Zhu. I’m going to make a phone call and find someone to help.”
Jiang Tao gave up after reading two pages and decided to call for backup.
“Manager Jiang, please feel free.”
Zhu Haibin smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Tao, appearing very patient.
Jiang Tao nodded, acknowledging him, and stood up from his seat.
Turning to leave, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, found Bai Yulan’s number in his contacts, and dialed.
Ring, ring, ring—
The call was answered in less than 10 seconds, and Bai Yulan’s voice came from the other end.
“Hello Jiang Tao, what’s up?”
“It’s like this, Sister Bai. I’m planning to invest in our county’s Jinwei Welding Materials, and I’d like to ask you to find a lawyer with experience in this area.”
Jiang Tao got straight to the point without any pleasantries.
“Sure! No problem. I’ll have our hotel’s Vice President Gao come over. She’s a professional in this area. Where are you? I’ll have her come find you.”
Bai Yulan agreed without hesitation upon hearing Jiang Tao’s request.
Jiang Tao said, “I’m already at Jinwei Welding Materials.”
“Okay, please wait. I’ll have her come as soon as possible.”
“Thank you, Sister Bai.”
“You don’t need to be so polite with me. I’ll give Xiao Gao your number, and she’ll contact you when she arrives.”
“Okay.”
Bai Yulan hung up the phone and began to arrange for Jiang Tao’s assistance.
Jiang Tao returned to the conference room and chatted with Zhu Haibin and the others for a while. By the time he finished a cigarette, his phone rang.
He took out his mobile phone and saw an incoming call from an unknown number.
When he answered, a pleasant female voice came from the other end of the line.
After a brief exchange on the phone, Zhu Haibin directly instructed the security guard to let the woman enter the factory area.
After waiting for about three more minutes, the sound of footsteps could be heard approaching the conference room door.
The footsteps stopped at the conference room door, followed by a knocking sound.
“Come in.”
Jiang Tao knew it was the person he had called for and looked towards the door.
Click~
The conference room door opened.
A tall woman wearing a black suit skirt and a white shirt, with a small face and a pair of rimless glasses, appeared at the door.
The woman had light professional makeup on her face, and her long, dark hair was tied up at the back with a shark clip, revealing her long, fair neck.
On a scale of 10, the woman would easily score an 8, the kind who would turn heads on the street.
As soon as the woman appeared, the senior leaders of Jinwei Welding Materials in the conference room couldn’t help but their eyes lit up with a sense of surprise.
Only Jiang Tao remained calm.
Although the woman who entered was beautiful, exquisite, and had a good temperament,
compared to Xu Li and Jiang Yi, there was still a gap.
“Hello, Manager Jiang. Manager Bai asked me to come and assist you with signing the contract.”
Wen Ling looked at Jiang Tao and greeted him softly.
“Thank you. The contract is here. Please take a look and see if there are any areas that need improvement.”
Jiang Tao didn’t get up. He casually pointed to the shareholding agreement he had placed on the table and assigned the task of reviewing the contract to Wen Ling.
“Certainly, Manager Jiang.”
Wen Ling walked gracefully to Jiang Tao’s side, gently smoothed the hem of her skirt, and sat down next to him.
Afterward, Jiang Tao and Zhu Haibin chatted, while Wen Ling reviewed the contract.
She would occasionally point out some doubts about certain clauses in the contract, and Zhu Haibin would provide detailed explanations.
In about an hour, Wen Ling finished reviewing the entire shareholding agreement and helped Jiang Tao revise seven or eight contract clauses.
Professional people do professional things. Jiang Tao felt that finding Wen Ling today was the right decision.
Without Wen Ling’s help, he might not have noticed any issues and would have signed the agreement haphazardly.
Although he knew Zhu Haibin wouldn’t cheat him, it was wise to be cautious.
Better safe than sorry!
Around 5:30 PM.
Jiang Tao and Zhu Haibin signed the revised contract, formally implementing the cooperation.
“Here is a cashier’s check for 880,000 yuan that can be deposited into the company’s account. I will transfer another 4.12 million yuan to the company’s account.”
Jiang Tao, too lazy to cash the check himself, handed the 880,000 yuan check that Bai Yulan had given him to Zhu Haibin.
“Okay, okay, no problem. Whatever is convenient for you, Manager Jiang, we can accommodate.”
Zhu Haibin smiled at Jiang Tao, having no requirements regarding the payment method from their benefactor.
Afterward, with the assistance of Jinwei Welding Materials’ finance manager, Jiang Tao transferred 4.12 million yuan to the company’s account.
The contract was signed, and the funds were transferred; this cooperation was now achieved.
After signing the contract and completing the transfer, Zhu Haibin invited Jiang Tao and Wen Ling to have dinner at the Bai Yulan Hotel.
Everyone readily agreed and headed downstairs.
Wen Ling had taken a taxi, and the driver had already left. She got into Jiang Tao’s Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon parked downstairs.
“This is a small token of my appreciation for your hard work today, Lawyer Wen.”
After getting into the car, Jiang Tao opened the storage compartment on the front passenger seat and, without looking, randomly took out a stack of cash and handed it to Wen Ling.
【Money begets money 】 The 10,000 yuan in cash that was generated daily was too much trouble for Jiang Tao to deposit at the bank, so he kept it in the car as pocket money.
“Thank you, Manager Jiang!”
Wen Ling didn’t stand on ceremony and thanked Jiang Tao before accepting the so-called hardship fee.
She estimated that this stack of cash was at least two to three thousand yuan!
Earning two to three thousand yuan in just over an hour, with an hourly rate of two to three thousand yuan, was incredibly satisfying!
This Manager Jiang is not only handsome but also so generous!
“Fasten your seatbelt.”
“Yes, Manager Jiang.”
After giving her the hardship fee, Jiang Tao started the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon and skillfully drove towards the Bai Yulan Hotel.
Since returning to Ping County from the Capital City, he had treated the Bai Yulan Hotel almost like a canteen, visiting almost every day.
Either this person was treating him, or that person was.
Jiang Tao’s daily social interactions had clearly increased significantly compared to before.
In the front passenger seat, Wen Ling felt the comfort of the seat and the luxury of the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, her heart filled with emotion.
To be honest, this was her first time riding in such a high-end car as a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon.
While admiring the car, Wen Ling would also occasionally steal glances at Jiang Tao, who was driving with one hand on the steering wheel.
As the sun set, under the dim light inside the car, Jiang Tao’s chiseled profile was quite attractive to women.
Of course, his current Charm Value of 82 points also played a crucial role.
“Manager Jiang is so handsome. If I could find a husband as handsome and rich as him, my life would be complete!”
Wen Ling in the front passenger seat, from secretly looking to becoming bolder, eventually began to stare openly.
“Why are you staring at me like that? Haven’t you seen a handsome guy before?”
Jiang Tao noticed Wen Ling staring at him intently and teased her with a smile.
“Ahem…”
Wen Ling realized she had been caught and awkwardly shifted her gaze away from Jiang Tao.
She really wanted to say that she had seen handsome men before, but one as handsome as Manager Jiang was indeed rare.
Although these were all true, she swallowed the words back.
This was only their first meeting, and their relationship was not yet familiar enough for such conversation.
But honestly, Manager Jiang was indeed very handsome, super handsome!
Compared to Jiang Tao, those handsome guys on Kuaidou who relied on beauty filters and makeup suddenly seemed unappealing!
Jiang Tao had also gradually become accustomed to the gazes of others.
He could feel that as his Charm Value increased, his appearance and temperament were also subtly becoming more perfect.
He was already anticipating what it would be like if his Charm Value reached 100 points or even more.
A walking hormone, a human succubus?
In 16 minutes, the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon drove into the open-air parking lot in front of the Bai Yulan Hotel.
His father-in-law, Xu Wencheng, who had received Jiang Tao’s call, had also arrived.
Incidentally, Xu Wencheng and Zhu Haibin had been old colleagues for over twenty years.
With a mutual acquaintance at the banquet, the atmosphere would not be too awkward.
“Dad, you’re here.”
After getting out of the car, Jiang Tao greeted Xu Wencheng with a smile.
“How did the negotiation with Manager Zhu and the others go this time?”
Xu Wencheng knew he couldn’t help much, so he didn’t go and spent the afternoon fishing.
Jiang Tao smiled and said, “The contract is signed, the funds have been transferred to the company’s account, and the cooperation has been achieved.”
“You really invested 5 million?”
Xu Wencheng looked at his son-in-law, who was standing close by, but felt he was becoming further and further away.
Not to mention his son-in-law’s food factory and MCN entertainment company investments in the Capital City,
this single investment in Jinwei Welding Materials alone amounted to 5 million yuan!
His son-in-law had truly become successful, so very successful!
Xu Wencheng never imagined that his son-in-law would become a shareholder in the company where he used to work!
Although 5 million yuan wasn’t enough to be a major shareholder, it still gave him a certain amount of say in the company.
“Yes, I invested 5 million.”
Jiang Tao’s expression was casual; a 5 million yuan investment was truly insignificant to him now.
Moreover, this investment in Jinwei Welding Materials was based on intelligence provided by System Brother, a project that was guaranteed to be profitable.
Crucially, the investment in the Jinwei Welding Materials project could also be doubled using the 【Monopoly Dice 】!
The aspect Jiang Tao valued most and why he invested in Jinwei Welding Materials without hesitation was precisely the ability to double it using the 【Monopoly Dice 】!
“Manager Jiang, Old Xu.”
“Manager Jiang, Old Xu, Ms. Wen.”
While Jiang Tao was chatting with his father-in-law, Zhu Haibin and others, who had arrived earlier, stepped forward and greeted them with smiles.
“Old Xu, Old Xu, I was wondering why you suddenly quit your good job at Jinwei. Turns out you’ve found a much bigger backer.”
Zhu Haibin chuckled as he looked at Xu Wencheng. Although his words sounded like a joke, they reflected his true feelings.
“Old Xu is so fortunate, truly enviable!”
“Haha, in the future, when my daughter looks for a son-in-law, I’ll be looking for someone like Manager Jiang!”
“It’s hard to find a son-in-law like Manager Jiang; he’s a rare find.”
“Indeed! Young and handsome, successful in his career, Manager Jiang’s future is limitless. It’s already great to have one like him in a small place like Ping County.”
“Manager Jiang is like a hidden dragon emerging from the abyss, about to soar to the heavens!”
Led by Zhu Haibin, the leaders of Jinwei Welding Materials praised Jiang Tao, and their gazes towards Xu Wencheng were filled with envy.
“Haha, leaders, please don’t praise me too highly. I’m just an ordinary little farmer. You’re all too kind.”
Facing everyone’s praise, Jiang Tao remained humble.
“Manager Jiang, Old Xu, Ms. Wen, let’s go inside and sit down to chat.”
“Manager Jiang, Old Xu, Ms. Wen, please, please, come inside.”
Jiang Tao, surrounded by Zhu Haibin and others, walked and chatted as they entered the Bai Yulan Hotel.
“Manager Jiang, you’re here!”
“Good evening, Manager Jiang.”
“Manager Jiang…”
The client managers at the Bai Yulan Hotel greeted Jiang Tao with smiles as he entered.
Seeing the treatment Jiang Tao received here, Zhu Haibin and the others became even more certain that his background was extraordinary.
Someone who could be friends with Bai Yulan was definitely no ordinary person.
Led by a client manager, Jiang Tao, Zhu Haibin, and the others entered the private room that Zhu Haibin had booked in advance.
When ordering food, Jiang Tao didn’t stand on ceremony with Zhu Haibin and the others.
He ordered whatever he wanted without any hesitation.
After he finished ordering, Xu Wencheng, Wen Ling, and Zhu Haibin also ordered a few dishes each.
Soon, a large table full of exquisite dishes, both visually appealing and delicious, was served.
After a few polite exchanges, they officially began the meal. A waiter poured wine into everyone’s glasses.
Zhu Haibin raised his wine glass and proposed:
“I propose that the first toast, we all raise our glasses to Manager Jiang, wishing our future cooperation to be smooth and successful.”
“To Manager Jiang.”
“To Manager Jiang!”
The leaders of Jinwei Welding Materials responded to Zhu Haibin’s call, standing up and raising their glasses to Jiang Tao.
Seeing his former leaders toasting his son-in-law,
Xu Wencheng couldn’t help but smile, feeling incredibly proud.
