Chapter 176: Didn’t Seem Like Good People

Suddenly, two men walked over. The middle-aged man behind Mo Yan looked somewhat familiar. It wasn’t until the two of them walked in front of her that she suddenly remembered that this was the man who had appraised the jade bracelet for her when she was wearing it.

Zhao Xin and Qiao Li also noticed the person who came and stopped their conversation.

“Hello, Miss Mo. I’m Jiang Ming, the general manager of Hongye Company.”

Seeing the man coming straight for her, Mo Yan was a little vigilant. She subconsciously glanced at the middle-aged man and said without showing any emotion, “Hello, general manager Jiang.”

The middle-aged man behind Jiang Ming also stepped forward to introduce himself. “Hello, Miss Mo. I’m Qian Yuan, the manager of Hongye’s Investment Department. I met you briefly in supervisor Chen’s office last time. I wonder if you still remember me.”

The attitude of these two people made Mo Yan feel a little uneasy. “Of course I remember. You are very good at appreciating jade stones.”

“It’s like this.” Qian Yuan gave Mo Yan a friendly smile and handed the right to speak back to Jiang Ming.

“I heard from Uncle Qian that you have a very good jade bracelet. I wonder if I can have the honor to take a look.” After saying that, his gaze gently swept toward Mo Yan’s wrist.

Mo Yan noticed his actions and generously held up her wine glass for him to look at. She smiled and said, “I’m sorry, general manager Jiang. I’m not used to bringing the bracelet out, so I didn’t bring it today.”

Knowing the purpose of the two of them, Mo Yan slightly let down her guard.

“Okay, I wonder if I can come to your company to take a look some other day?” Jiang Ming’s eyes seemed to be somewhat disappointed, but he continued to ask.

Mo Yan frowned slightly. Was the jade bracelet really that beautiful? Moreover, she wouldn’t sell that bracelet, so why would a company’s general manager come personally to take a look?

“General manager Jiang, are you also a jade lover?” A frown flashed across Mo Yan’s face, and she asked Jiang Ming with a smile.

“Hmm, I also like jade very much. I heard from Uncle Qian that your jade bracelet is a rare item, so I naturally wanted to take a look.”

Mo Yan didn’t know what kind of people liked jade, so she could only reluctantly accept Jiang Ming’s explanation.

“Okay, I’ll bring the jade bracelet over when I have the chance.”

The middle-aged man took over the conversation and smiled, “Since that’s the case, can I get your contact information? It’ll be easier to contact you in the future.”

While the three of them were talking, Zhao Xin and Qiao Li walked a little further away.

Zhao Xin whispered to Qiao Li, “That person is Jiang Ming! He’s very good-looking! Previously, Dad said that he would introduce him to me, but I don’t know what happened after that.”

“It’s better to stay away from him,” Qiao Li looked at the man and said.

“Eh? Qiao Li, do you know something?”

Qiao Li shook her head. “I’m not sure. I just heard my parents talking about Hongye company becoming too prominent too quickly. The people in power are not simple people.”

“Oh, oh! It’s that kind again. People like those are troublesome! They’re either good at scheming, or they’re too smart to be human.”

Qiao Li couldn’t help but smile when she heard Zhao Xin’s ridicule. However, when her gaze turned to Mo Yan and the other two, it darkened again.

She had heard about Mo Yan’s matter in the company. From the way Mo Yan was dressed, she didn’t seem to have a backer like the rumors said. A so-called backer would be from one of three scenarios. First, they had a good family background. Second, they were a mistress, and third, they were the type of people who were the least likely to be recognized by the leaders and had the support of the leaders. However, according to the rumors that spread like wildfire, Mo Yan did not seem like any of them.

However, if Mo Yan did not have a backer, why were the two managers of Hongye Company so respectful towards her?

Seeing that Qiao Li was in a daze, Zhao Xin used her cup to lightly clink with her.

“What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing, I’m just worried about Mo Yan.”

Zhao Xin followed her gaze and said thoughtlessly, “What’s there to be worried about? Mo Yan is in the sales department. It’s good for her to know the leaders of other companies.”

“I think there’s something weird with the way these two treat Mo Yan.”

After listening to Qiao Li’s words, Zhao Xin glanced at Mo Yan again. “This is probably how people treat beautiful women! After all, Mo Yan is so good-looking. To be honest, when I first saw Mo Yan, I was shocked beyond belief! Her face and body proportions were practically out of a manga! I want to look like Mo Yan without makeup.”

Qiao Li was troubled by Zhao Xin’s out-of-the-box thinking. She sighed helplessly and retracted her gaze. She only wanted to wait for Xu Wan to be around to talk about this matter. It could be considered as a reminder to Mo Yan to be more careful when dealing with people from Hongye in the future.
