Chapter 177 Huazhou Annual Meeting! (Part 1)
I don’t know if it was because of the story about being worse than beasts, but when attending the Huazhou annual meeting the next day, Shen Ruoyan didn’t even say a word to Jiang Chengfeng and simply treated him as air.
However, for a shameless person like Jiang Chengfeng, he doesn't care and is instead happy and relaxed.
The Misty Rain Tower is right next to the Su Causeway, and its location is similar to that of the Yipinxuan, both of which are built by the lake. However , when Jiang Chengfeng followed Shen Ruoyan into the Misty Rain Tower, he frowned.
It turned out that the decoration style of Yanyu Tower was exactly the same as that of Yipinxuan, and even the various promotional signs hanging in the lobby on the first floor of Yipinxuan were copied from the original. I guess the owner of Yanyu Tower must have been to Yipinxuan before.
However, this also proves from the side that Yipinxuan is well-known and has already spread to Huazhou. Although he was very angry, there is no patent protection in this era. If someone copies it, it's fine. You can't do anything about it!
In desperation, Jiang Chengfeng had to spit at the promotional sign.
Shen Ruoyan, who had been leading the way, heard the movement behind and glared at Jiang Chengfeng who was spitting. She warned him, "Jiang Dazhu, the people upstairs are all big shots in the business community of Huayang and Huazhou. Don't let anything go wrong later!"
Jiang Chengfeng quickly pretended to be serious and said solemnly: "Don't worry, Miss, I am a serious person!"
Shen Ruoyan rolled her eyes and was too lazy to say anything more to him.
As soon as the two of them walked up to the second floor , a fat old man in a bright red robe with a cheerful face came up to them with a smile, clasped his hands in front of Shen Ruoyan, and said with a smile: "Miss Shen is here, I am sorry for not coming to greet you!"
Shen Ruoyan smiled, bowed, and said, "President Liu, you are joking. I am extremely grateful to be able to participate in this annual event. How dare I ask President Liu to come and greet me in person!"
This fat old man looked to be in his fifties, with a lucky cat-like smile on his face and a gleam in his eyes. He looked like a man who was good at business. Jiang Chengfeng just glanced at him and stopped paying attention.
President Liu chuckled and said, "Miss Shen, you are too polite. You may not know that in the past few days, colleagues in Jianghuai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been discussing your deeds in private! Many people have said that they want to learn a lot from you through this annual meeting!"
Liu Song's words were full of hidden meanings. How could a shrewd business woman like Shen Ruoyan not hear it? However, she just pretended not to know and laughed it off.
Liu Song didn't mind. He glanced at Jiang Chengfeng behind Shen Ruoyan and said with a smile, "Could it be that Miss Shen came here alone?"
Jiang Chengfeng frowned. This fat old man obviously didn't take himself seriously! He resisted the urge to beat up this fat guy, and just sneered without saying anything.
Shen Ruoyan glanced at Jiang Chengfeng, clearly intending to help him, and said with a smile: "This time, I only brought one servant!"
Liu Song said "oh" and changed the subject, asking, "Why didn't Master Fang and Miss Shen come together?"
In the Chamber of Commerce, it was no secret that Fang Zhi was pursuing Shen Ruoyan. Liu Song mentioned this matter to her face. On the surface, he was teasing Shen Ruoyan, but perhaps only he knew the dirty thoughts in private.
Shen Ruoyan smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Fang is a man of many things to do. I don't know what he is going to do!"
So Liu Song said nothing more and invited Shen Ruoyan to take a seat.
At this time, there were already a lot of people attending the meeting, most of whom were business tycoons from the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Huaihai provinces. Shen Ruoyan seemed to be very familiar with them and greeted everyone warmly one by one.
Following Shen Ruoyan, Jiang Chengfeng was also secretly observing the expressions of these big guys. A few people were envious, more than half were jealous, and a very few were encouraging. However, thinking about what Liu Song said just now, it seems that more than half of them are jealous of the Shen family's profitable business!
Shen Ruoyan found a place where Huayang's wealthy businessmen gathered and sat down. She took the initiative to talk to the strong-built woman next to her with thick eyebrows, who looked more manly than men.
When the female man saw Shen Ruoyan, she immediately grinned, took Shen Ruoyan's hand, and said happily: "Sister Shen is here, hurry up and sit down!"
The female man's accent had a strong Ludong accent, and coupled with the word "Sister Shen", Jiang Chengfeng almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Shen Ruoyan didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Sister Chen, you came really early!"
"It has to be early!" Sister Chen grinned and said, "I was so angry after traveling all day yesterday! It was because the animal pulling the cart was so uncooperative that it kicked up its heels halfway through the journey and started to poop in the middle of the road. It kept going for several hours without moving. Isn't that infuriating?"
Sister Chen has a loud voice, and she speaks like a loud speaker. After she finished speaking, the people around her burst into laughter. Shen Ruoyan's pretty face was also lightly flushed, and she smiled and said, "Sister Chen is still as straightforward as ever!"
Jiang Chengfeng felt very close to Sister Chen when she spoke. Although Sister Chen was a female with a loud voice, she had a good personality and was very likable, at least Jiang Chengfeng liked her very much.
Later, from the conversation between Shen Ruoyan and Sister Chen, Jiang Chengfeng learned some basic information about Sister Chen.
It turns out that this sister Chen's real name is Chen Susu, a very quiet name, but her appearance does not match the name. Her ancestral home is Maoliu County in eastern Shandong, and she married an honest farmer's family in Huayang.
Sister Chen has been strong since she was young, more masculine than men, but she is delicate and has the skill of polishing jade inherited from her ancestors. With this skill, she gradually expanded in Huayang, and after becoming famous, she opened a jade shop. After several years of development, the business has grown bigger and bigger, and branches have been opened in southern Anhui, eastern Shandong and other provinces. Now she is a real rich woman.
Speaking of which, Sister Chen, like Shen Ruoyan, is a strong woman who dominates the business world.
The friendship between Shen Ruoyan and Chen Susu also started from a business trip. The two of them became friends on the road, got to know each other, and after four or five years, they had a very good relationship.
As the two chatted, Chen Susu started to curse, "Sister Shen, I heard that you were kidnapped by that damn Red Fairy thug some time ago. Sister Chen was so worried! Fortunately, you are blessed with a good fate and saved your life!"
Shen Ruoyan smiled, glanced at Jiang Chengfeng behind her, and said, "This is all thanks to my guard!"
Chen Susu shifted her gaze to Jiang Chengfeng, patted his arm, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be a hero and save the damsel in distress! Not bad!"
Shen Ruoyan's cheeks flushed slightly, and then she sighed, "It's really not bad! I'm just worried that our Shen family's shallow water can't support big fish!"
