From Sidekick to Bigshot

As of now, they didn’t know whether or not Jian Shuhong and He Yan were involved in the matter. Furthermore, they still were not sure about what Jian Yubo was thinking.

And thus, the business deal that they came to see Master Liang about today was incredibly important for the Jian family.

If the business deal worked out, it would potentially ease the crisis that the family was facing.

However, the Jian family was unsure of how Master Liang would respond.

Master Liang was quite well-known in the industry. It was difficult for ordinary businesses and people to be accepted by him.

And thus, it was not easy for the Jian family to negotiate a business deal with him.

Jian Shuxing knew that Master Liang had gifted a valuable diamond to his daughter in the past. However, Jian Shuxing did not plan to use his daughter’s personal connections to achieve what he wanted. If he did that, that would be incredibly despicable of him.

He Yan smiled and asked Wen Nuan: “Sister-in-law, why didn’t you bring Yiling along?”

He Yan’s eyes were shining. She hadn’t forgotten that day at the charity party when Master Liang had purchased a pink diamond and given it to Jian Yiling.

Wen Nuan replied: “Today, we’re here for business.”

They weren’t here to socialize. Why would she bring her daughter?

“But Yiling seems to have a good relationship with Master Liang. If she’s here, maybe this deal can be negotiated much better.”

“Sister-in-law, the Jian family does not require our children to keep the business going,” Wen Nuan replied with a straight face.

Wen Nuan’s tone was not as nice as He Yan’s. Her face was stern and her tone was serious.

Realizing that his wife had said the wrong thing, Jian Shuxing hurriedly apologized on the behalf of his wife: “Sister-in-law, we’re sorry. He Yan didn’t think about her words before she said them. Yiling’s matters have nothing to do with our family’s business.”

In the past, if Jian Shuhong had said such a thing, Wen Nuan wouldn’t have said something back. However, this time, Wen Nuan showed no mercy: “Well, you better have a talk with your wife when you get home. Or else, someone else would be already laughing at you before you even figure out what the joke is in the first place.”

Wen Nuan’s words were rather blunt. This caused He Yan to feel incredibly embarrassed.

However, Jian Shuhong didn’t think too much into it. Instead, he replied: “I understand. I will talk to her about it later.”

Jian Shuhong had a gentle personality. He treated people well and treated his wife and everyone else in the Jian family even better.

As the four of them entered, they met with Master Liang.

“Mr. Jian and Mrs. Jian.”

No one had expected Master Liang to take to the initiative to greet Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan.

This caused Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan to feel quite flattered.

They didn’t expect Master Liang to know them.

At the same time, this caused Jian Shuxing and He Yan to feel rather awkward. The four of them had entered at the same time, however, only two of them were greeted!

They were all members of the Jian family, however, Master Liang only acknowledged and recognized Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan.

Furthermore, the words “Mr. Jian and Mrs. Jian,” were only directed at Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan! The other two had gotten completely ignored!

He Yan was outraged. They were both “Mr. Jian and Mrs. Jian,” however, they were treated so differently!

However, Jian Shuhong didn’t think too much into it. He just assumed that Master Liang knew his niece. If that was the case, it only made sense that Master Liang knew his brother and his sister-in-law as well.

As for not knowing him, it was quite normal. Given his status, Master Liang wasn’t required to know many of the people who were here today.

After a few words of conversation between Master Liang and Jian Shuxing, Master Liang asked his assistant to continue the conversation for him. He also instructed his assistant to bring them to his office for an in-depth chat after the launch.

After that, Master Liang didn’t accompany Jian Shuxing and Wen Nuan any longer. He went to do other things.

Even so, this was already more than what he had done for most other people.
