Chapter 639: 352 Listen to the ‘Heaven’s’ Will_3

Dai Aiyuan: “Hey, there’s never a hundred percent in business.”

The few people at the table continued to argue, and Jiang Xuan focused on Dai Aiyuan and Jiang Feng.

If Jiang Xuan’s agreement was included, even the four brothers would only be at a 2:2 stalemate, ultimately leaving the decision to the old man.

Jiang Jiujue, facing the expectant gazes around the table and holding his bowl of old hen soup, took a couple of sips: “Let’s go with Xuanxuan’s decision, if Xuanxuan says to do it, we do it!”

Jiang He: “…”

Jiang Shan: “…”

Jiang Xuan curled his lips slightly: “Since that’s the case, the Jiang family’s move into the O Alliance is decided.”

**

In the following days, as expected, the Jiang family’s aggressive move into the O Alliance dominated the front pages of financial sections domestically and internationally.

In such a dismal economic climate, many consortia were waiting to see the spectacle unfold at the Jiang family’s expense.

Shen Jing’s phone was almost blown up with calls recently, and as soon as he stepped out of the office, he received another call from Jiang He.

Jiang He, still anxious, hoped to persuade those around him to further counsel Jiang Xuan.

Shen Jing didn’t dare to counsel; he could only give a perfunctory response for now.

Although he also felt the move was indeed risky.

The sound of the elevator rang out behind him, and Xia Ye, with a backpack slung over her shoulder, stepped out.

Seeing her like a beacon of hope, Shen Jing remembered, right, it’s the summer break at Beijing University, and Miss Xia often comes here to work on her summer thesis.

He hung up and hurried forward, speaking rapidly to Xia Ye while escorting her to the president’s office: “Anyway, that’s the situation, Miss Xia, please help persuade the president…”

Before he could finish, the office door opened from the inside, and Jiang Xuan welcomed his treasured one into the room, then mercilessly shut Shen Jing out.

“What are you guys talking about?” Jiang Xuan took her backpack.

It was hot now, and the girl was dressing even more casually; the neckline of her T-shirt was already low and she carelessly fanned it to catch a breeze.

Jiang Xuan turned down the air conditioner by one degree and pulled down the hem of her T-shirt as he passed by her, still nervous from the last time at the robot competition where she almost had a wardrobe malfunction.

He had cleared a spot on the coffee table for her to write her thesis, and Xia Ye settled down: “He wants me to persuade you.”

Jiang Xuan looked at her with interest: “Persuade me about what?”

Xia Ye thought back seriously for a moment, then replied with two words: “Forgot.”

Jiang Xuan laughed, ruffling her hair: “Here’s a reminder, probably about fearing the O Alliance venture will fail and the Jiang family’s capital chain will break.”

“Oh,” Xia Ye seemed uninterested.

The less concerned she acted, the more Jiang Xuan was curious: “And you? Are you afraid I’ll fail?”

Expecting no real answer, to his surprise Xia Ye reached out and tugged at his tie, pulling him down and close to herself: “If you really do fail, then you’ll just have to stay home and be a pretty vase, my personal |||qi storehouse.”

Jiang Xuan went along with her pull and leaned in close, a smile growing in his eyes: “And what about you?”

Xia Ye smiled wickedly: “I’ll earn money to support you~”

Jiang Xuan lifted her chin and was about to lean in when his phone rang.

It was a video call from overseas.

Seeing he had official business, Xia Ye let go and took out her laptop from her bag to start typing her thesis.

Jiang Xuan moved back to his desk to answer the video call. On the other end, there was another office, and inside, a man in a suit with light-colored short hair and pale eyes appeared to be in his early thirties.

This man, Saka, was the young president appointed by ET the year before last. Seeing Jiang Xuan on the call, Saka looked anxious: “Jiang, I just found out that the people who approached me about a partnership were from your group. What’s going on? I’ve been pleading for you to partner with me for three years, afraid you wouldn’t agree. Why does it now seem like you’re the one courting me?”

Jiang Xuan’s gaze was indifferent towards his computer: “Don’t make a fuss. Just act like you don’t know me, or the deal’s off.”

Saka was confused: “You… I can’t handle you. Before, I didn’t know it was your group, but I said you had to join the O Alliance to qualify for the partnership. The global economy is lousy this year, joining the O Alliance is harder than getting into the United Nations, are you sure about this?”

Clearly, he feared losing the opportunity for the partnership more than Jiang did.

Jiang Xuan said, laden with double meaning: “Leave it to ‘Heavenly Dao’.”
