Chapter 394: Mysterious Expert (1)

He Yan followed Jian Yiling. She walked up to the area where Jian Yiling was currently sitting.

Jian Shuxing, Wen Nuan, and Jian Shuhong were all beside her.

Then, He Yan asked Jian Yiling: “Yiling, your father and your second uncle have recently been discussing business matters with Master Liang. Could you tell us a bit about Master Liang? What are his interests and habits?”

Although Wen Nuan forbade her to use Jian Yiling to get close to Master Liang, it was still okay for her to ask Yiling about his interests and hobbies right?

“I don’t know,” Jian Yiling replied. Her attitude towards He Yan was colder than her attitude towards other people.

This was not a lie. She indeed did not know his interests and habits.

She and Master Liang merely worked on a project together. Jian Yiling focused on her part of the work. She would not touch or ask about Master Liang’s personal matters.

The only thing that Jian Yiling knew about Master Liang was the information that she had researched when she first contacted him. This was information related to his identity.

However, He Yan did not believe in Jian Yiling’s words: “Yiling, this is something that everyone in our family is meant to care about. If you know anything, you should tell your father and your second uncle. It can potentially help with the Jian family’s business.”

He Yan smiled wholeheartedly and looked as though she was incredibly concerned about the matter.

“Sister-in-law, when do you plan to change this habit of yours?” Wen Nuan cut in sternly. “Stop thinking about pleasing the other party. The most important factor in a business deal is whether or not you have chips to bargain with the other party. You should have some achievements and accomplishments under your name. You shouldn’t rely on pleasing the other party.”

Upon hearing this, He Yan replied in a dejected and sour voice: “Well, I’m not as knowledgeable as you when it comes to business matters. However, I’m thinking about the Jian family. There’s an old saying that comes from the ‘Art of War’ which states if you know yourself and you know the enemy, you will be unscathed even if you go through a hundred battles. This is why I asked Yiling about Master Liang. Was I wrong to do so?”

Feeling the tension in the atmosphere, Jian Shuxing attempted to mediate the conversation: “Ahh, it’s okay. We’re all from the same family. He Yan doesn’t know much about business matters. She didn’t mean any harm. It’s not bad to ask. However, if Yiling doesn’t want to talk about it, we won’t force her.”

Although Jian Shuxing was rather slow to get things, he could still feel the tension between his wife and his sister-in-law.

He didn’t know what was going on. The two had suddenly become so at odds with one another.

It seemed as though He Yan was deliberately confronting Wen Nuan. There were questions that Wen Nuan did not want He Yan to ask Yiling. However, it seemed as though He Yan was determined to ask those questions.

“Then, do you happen to know the high-tech export that Master Liang is going to introduce to everyone today?”

“I do.”

He Yan was surprised when Jian Yiling suddenly replied that she knew.

“Do you actually know?”

“Yes, but I’m not telling you,” Jian Yiling replied.

There was no room for negotiation.

He Yan almost choked on her breath. She might as well have said that she didn’t know!

Jian Shuxing hurriedly said to his wife: “Ahh, it’s fine. We’ll see him later on. Don’t make Yiling unhappy.”

He knew that his niece never liked to be bothered. In fact, she would get angry if she was bothered too much.

However, his niece and his wife’s relationship was quite close before. Every time they met, they would always chat and laugh together. It was quite strange that they were at odds today.

Jian Shuxing was so busy with work that he hadn’t seen Jian Yiling and He Yan in private for a long time.

Due to this reason, he didn’t know anything that had happened recently.

He Yan restrained her anger. She didn’t want to make things worse in the open.

She decided to put up with it. She knew that Yubo was going to help her sooner or later. Eventually, she would get her revenge against Jian Yiling and Wen Nuan.

And thus, the launch event officially started. Master Liang went onto the stage and introduced the new technology that had been developed by his company, Fei Yue Technology.

It had been many years since Master Liang had gone onto the stage to introduce a product.

From this, it could be seen that Master Liang was very happy with the final product.

After the product had been introduced, Master Liang began to introduce his technical team.
