Without Li Xiaoyuan and Qu Lan actively enlivening the atmosphere, the meal was quieter than usual, but it was also much faster.At first, Jiang Yan wondered why the two who always loved to sing and harmonize suddenly became quiet, but when he saw their eyes wandering back and forth between him and Xia Yining, he understood.

They usually have a lot of contact with Jiang Yan in the office, and they have become familiar with each other for a long time. In addition, Jiang Yan has a good temper and is unassuming, so it is normal to eat and gossip together.But Xia Yining was different. He didn't have much contact with him and he was the president's daughter, so he felt a sense of distance.Although there are no rumors that are difficult to get along with usually, it just makes people feel nervous.

As soon as the chopsticks stopped, Li Xiaoyuan kicked Qu Lan lightly under the table.The two looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding, and then said at the same time: "Let's leave after eating, Director Jiang, Manager Xia eat slowly."

Jiang Yan was afraid that they would be scared away: "Don't worry, we can chat for a while before leaving."

Qu Lan stood up and took the tray: "Xiao Yuan and I want to buy milk tea, and the time is just right."

Seeing that Xia Yining was also looking up at them at this time, he felt very relaxed and natural.

"Eat slowly, bye." After finishing speaking, the two disappeared at the door of the cafeteria.

Xia Yining withdrew his gaze and looked sideways at Jiang Yan who was eating fruit: "Do they usually leave so early?"

"No, that's why I feel strange today." Jiang Yan swallowed the apple, wiped his hands with a tissue, and also looked puzzled.

Xia Yining looked at her thoughtfully, and didn't dodge much when Jiang Yan raised his eyes to look at her.

"It seems that I scared them, and I influenced you."

Her tone was light, but Jiang Yan could hear a little depression.She couldn't help laughing, looking at Xia Yining's sullen face: "I don't usually have the chance to eat with you, and it's normal to feel nervous. There is no one who affects anyone."

"Oh? Then it looks like it will get better after eating a few more times, right?"

The smile on the corner of Jiang Yan's mouth stopped, thinking about the meaning of Xia Yining's words.But the meaning in the other party's eyes is hard to see clearly, it looks like he really wants it, but it's not too obvious.

She coughed lightly: "If there is a chance, more contact will definitely make you more and more familiar, there is no doubt about it."

Xia Yining forked a piece of honeydew melon at hand, and said in a brisk tone, "I'll see you at the restaurant later."

Jiang Yan thought it was interesting for her to eat melons. Ever since the cat princess series was launched, some weird and playful expressions or movements of Xia Yining's usually popped up in her mind from time to time.

"How do you think that getting closer to employees is to prepare for next year's promotion?"

Xia Yining wiped his mouth, and became more serious: "I haven't written off the promotion, so there are already such rumors?"

What they were talking about was, of course, the promotion department's promotion quota for several executives next year, and other departments also had it, but the sum was only equal to that of the promotion department.

Seeing that Jiang Yan didn't speak, Xia Yining explained himself: "I don't deny that I am very concerned about this opportunity, but I am not fully sure that I will win it."

"You had to complete the AG project plan even though you were sick. Is it for this?"

Xia Yining nodded first, and then shook his head lightly: "Not exactly. This is my job responsibility, whether it is related to promotion or not, I should and must do it well."

Jiang Yan couldn't help showing approval, and looked straight at Xia Yining, his appreciation was clear.

Xia Yining felt a little embarrassed when she saw her like this. He lowered his eyes and nodded, pretending to wipe his mouth again.

After a while, Xia Yining was about to raise her head when Jiang Yan lowered her voice and said to her, "You've worked so hard, you will definitely gain something. I'm optimistic about your promotion next year."

Xia Yining pursed her lips and curved her smiling eyes: "Thank you."

Jian Jun's Christmas vacation was only a symbolic three days off, and she spent almost all of it on spending time with her family.Seeing her rushing back to Haicheng, her parents were naturally reluctant to part with her, but Kate was secretly happy. Jian Jun didn't miss this sister's thoughts when she saw her off at the airport.

Back in Haicheng, she didn't delay much, and asked the secretary to speed up the screening of investment projects according to the previous plan.

"We must lock the target as soon as possible, otherwise Kate will toss a few more times at the headquarters, and the board of directors will not give me more opportunities."

"How about we narrow it down to a certain category and then make a model out of it?"

After listening to the secretary's suggestion, Jian Jun seemed to have a new inspiration: "Yes, let's use a small amount of funds to artificially create a new star."

Previously, she was busy with the investment application at the headquarters, but she didn't pay much attention to the business cooperation with Xia's.Except for Xia Yining's urgently adjusted activity plan, she hasn't had time to read the rest of the content seriously.

Turning on the computer and preparing to read the materials during this period, Jian Jun suddenly thought of Jiang Yan, and stopped the secretary: "How is the investigation of Jiang Yan's situation, what is the background of this person?"

"There's nothing special about it. I've always focused on my own department in the company, and I don't have much contact with the leaders of other departments. A while ago, Xia Yining was hospitalized, and she rushed to Sucheng overnight to take care of her. This performance was recognized by the Xia family."

Seeing her stop, Jian Jun raised her eyes: "That's all?"

"that's it."

Jian Jun didn't doubt the information the secretary found, but she was still worried, and whispered: "This person sounds mediocre, but why do I think she is different?"

The secretary was silent and did not agree.She also felt that Jiang Yan was mediocre, and she didn't understand why the leader insisted on staring at her.

"You go out first, hurry up and finish what we just said."

When the secretary left, Jian Jun walked to the window, looked at the gray sky outside, and folded her arms in thought: Did I really misread Jiang Yan?

Jian Jun has always felt that her intuition is quite accurate, especially when it comes to judging people.When she first heard about Jiang Yan, it was mostly about how she pursued Xia Yining crazily, and she naturally heard disdain and ridicule from those rumors and comments.

But when she saw Jiang Yan with her own eyes, she felt that this man was not as miserable and incompetent as the legend said.To this day, she still feels that way.

The news that Jian Jun went back to the headquarters to apply for funds still leaked out. There is no impenetrable wall in the capital circle.After she knew it, she didn't deny it openly, but pushed the boat along, not saying whether it happened or when.The specious attitude successfully attracted more attention, which just gave her more opportunities to screen.

Looking at the flood of project proposals, Jian Jun felt mixed feelings.The joy is that there are many more projects that she has never paid attention to before, so she recommends herself, but the worry is that she still hasn't found what she really wants.

The secretary and other members of the team were still sorting out the materials, and Jian Jun used her mobile phone to log on to the forum she had been browsing recently.

As soon as she entered, she saw that the first painter she followed was updated again, but she was not in a hurry to see what was posted, but stared at the indicators on the homepage and thought.

After a while, she called her secretary over: "Look at this person, as I mentioned before, his works are very personal, and he understands the market very well, so he has great potential."

The secretary looked at the screen and felt surprised after a little recollection: "The number of fans has grown so fast?"

"Not only the number of fans, but also the number of likes and comments under the post are very high, and the time interval between each new post she publishes is very short."

The secretary sighed: "Indeed, fans are very sticky and easy to form appeal."

Jian Jun looked at it carefully for a while: "Sort out the details of this forum."

Jian Jun's business trends in Haicheng basically represent the intention of AG Group. She once mentioned that she is interested in Haicheng's traditional food field and is very optimistic.This simple sentence made the catering industry ready to move, and the Li family would naturally not be indifferent.

The last time they wanted to stop the revival of old stores, they temporarily changed direction after the plan was frustrated, and rushed to pack up the acquired stores and look for capital injection.Hearing that the AG Group was also interested, Li Wannian felt that his fortune was approaching.

"Zien, we have to learn a lesson this time, and we can't be careless anymore. We must win the investment of AG, and we must not let the old store take the lead, otherwise the cost of the previous acquisition will not be recovered."

"I'll pay attention."

Li Wannian thought for a while, and then said: "You call Zifeng back to work at the company, and don't hang around all day and be laughed at by others."

Li Zien was taken aback: "I mentioned it to him, but he said he didn't know much about the company."

"Study if you don't understand, don't make excuses to be lazy." Li Wannian was a little annoyed, "Jiang Yan can get better in the Xia family, so is he worse than Jiang Yan?"

After Li Zien relayed these words to Li Zifeng, as expected, a burst of unwillingness arose: "Is there any mistake, my father actually compared me with Jiang Yan. She is so weak that the family is bankrupt and can only rely on his wife, but I am planning to invest."

Li Zien is also aware of his younger brother's true level, so he can't help but feel a headache: "Your investments won't see results for a while, so please be obedient and come to the company to help. This is a big project, and Dad won't treat you badly after it's done."

The entire Li family focused on how to impress Jian Jun. If the AG Group was willing to invest in the old stores in their hands, then the previous plan would be smoother. "Century-year-old stores" have been listed one after another, and Li's position in the catering industry will no longer be limited to Haicheng, and the overseas market will not be a problem.

Compared with the Li family, the Jiang family after bankruptcy has only Jiang Daming, a single seedling, carrying all Jiang Chaohan's hopes.Of course, they are not reconciled to living the lives of ordinary people, always thinking that one day they can make a comeback.

"Da Ming, I heard that Jian Jun has a very tricky investment vision and likes to find some start-up projects. I have a few qualified ones here. You can analyze carefully to see which one has the most opportunity?"

Jiang Daming took the list and read it carefully, and his eyes finally stopped on a drawing software: "God knows what I'm drawing, this name is quite special."

Jiang Chaohan doesn't know much about the preferences of young people, but since he was selected, there is something special about it.

"Then you should study it carefully and see if it is attractive enough in other aspects besides the name. If it is really valuable, we will buy it as soon as possible, package it for marketing and then sell it to Jian Jun."

Xia Yining is not busy with work recently, and he is not in a hurry to go back to his room after dinner. Seeing that Jiang Yan is quite free, the two of them watch TV in the living room every day.

The TV series was quite boring, and there were frequent commercials in the middle. Xia Yining propped his chin and looked at the people around him: "Have you been drawing recently?"

"Draw when you have time, but the time is not fixed."

"I heard from Chenchen that the painter you were discussing before has become very popular recently, and has almost become the number one celebrity on the forum."

The corner of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, and he said slowly: "It seems to be true. I didn't pay attention to the data specifically, but it seems to be the case in my impression."

Xia Yining watched Jiang Yan carefully while talking, and her subtle reactions naturally fell into his eyes.She actually wanted to test Jiang Yan's progress, but she was afraid of causing too much pressure on her.
