No reconciliation, no forgiveness! Mr. Pei leaves with nothing.

Chapter 284 With President Pei's charm, how could he possibly fail to win over Song Qingran?

Jiang Hua softened her attitude towards him slightly, but he took advantage of her and became unreasonable. He grabbed her breast with one hand and tried to stand up. Jiang Hua grabbed his neck, and Pei Zhan stopped. She felt his Adam's apple bobbing up and down in her palm. At this moment, the desire in Pei Zhan's eyes was as hot as his body temperature.

In the nearly two years since her rebirth, they have slept together twice. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Pei Zhan may have touched other women besides her during that time.

Even though he signed the agreement, Jiang Hua did not lower her guard against his hidden ambitions. A moment later, the shoulder strap slipped down, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin. She looked at him coldly and said, "The agreement you signed is only on the condition that we do not divorce."

"I'm just promising you that I won't mention Song Qingran's name in front of you anymore. Of course... other things, including... sleeping together, are entirely up to me."

"I will not give in to you."

Having just undergone surgery, Pei Zhan dared not make any large movements.

Jiang Hua pushed the person off her, adjusted her shoulder straps expressionlessly, turned her back to him, and with a sidelong glance, said a few words indifferently, "Take good care of your injuries."

This expression of concern is extremely rare.

Zuo Xiangnan looked at the woman coming out of the ward, a strange glint flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded to Jiang Hua, "Miss."

Jiang Hua didn't look at him, but walked straight downstairs to the examination room. Jiang Weiguo had just finished his examination and saw the person coming in. "Pei Zhan, did you sign it?"

Jiang Hua pursed her lips and nodded.

Jiang Weiguo smiled genuinely, a rare occurrence. "I knew it. Now, there's nothing he wouldn't agree to for you."

"Can you rest assured now?"

"Now he is willing to give up his own descendants for you. Even the greatest conflicts in the past can now be resolved peacefully."

"There can never be a balance between interests and feelings. You have to know how to make choices in the middle. I don't like you investing your feelings in Pei Zhan. I hope you can be more rational. The reason I want you to be with Pei Zhan and use marriage to bind you is only because Pei Zhan has value and he deserves to stay by your side."

“Dad is getting old and his health is failing. I can no longer manage the company. It’s a good thing that Pei Zhan has taken over. You don’t need to bear the pressure of helping Dad manage the company. You can continue to do what you like.”

"Now that Pei Zhan has signed these two agreements, you should re-examine your feelings for him and whether you can retain them and place those feelings on him."

"There's no need to rush into a decision right now. You... have plenty of time later to think it over carefully."

Jiang Hua understood what her father was saying, and she nodded, "I understand, Dad."

The Jiang family has quietly infiltrated all industries, not to mention their previous cooperation with the Huo family. Now, the Jiang family's stock is soaring, breaking its previous records every day. Pei Zhan's net worth and the value of the Jiang family have become something that others want to climb up to. If this continues, Pei Zhan won't need five years to become the richest man in the capital; three years will be enough.

What others achieve in a lifetime may not be as great as what Pei Zhan accomplished in just a few years.

Jiang Hua had thought that even without Ji Liangchuan, she could at least marry someone like Rong Xingzhi or Shen Yebai. She never imagined marrying a country bumpkin with no background or status.

The Jiang family used to have to be subservient to others, but now the Jiang family has undergone a complete transformation. You should know that the Jiang Group was already on the verge of collapse. The Wang family had long wanted to cash out and leave the Jiang Group, taking away the last of the Jiang Group's funds. In the end, it was Pei Zhan who was able to turn the tide and bring the family back to life.

People are different. People may not be divided into different classes, but they are different in terms of intelligence. Some people are not born to be in business, but they happen to be able to achieve great success in other fields. Pei Zhan's business acumen is simply a gift from God.

But even though Pei Zhan signed the document so easily, Jiang Hua still felt uneasy...

He understands the trade-offs, so why would he sign such an unequal agreement that offers him no benefit whatsoever?

Jiang Hua couldn't quite understand this...

After the check-up, Jiang Hua rode in Jiang Weiguo's car back to Yulong Bay. She didn't want to stay and take care of Pei Zhan, and Jiang Weiguo didn't say anything.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Weiguo suddenly mentioned to Jiang Hua, "After Song Qingran left Jiang's, with Madam Bai's introduction, many of Jiang's former clients came to her wanting her to design a set of jewelry. Recently, many employees in Jiang's design department have Song Qingran's designs and want to come to Jiang's to make samples, complete the drawings, and create a complete set of finished products."

"Furthermore, I heard that the reason why those wealthy wives in Beijing chose Jiang's Group was because they were clients brought by Song Qingran."

Jiang Hua seemed to have thought of something and said, "I did see Mrs. Mo from Xinheng Building Materials Group go to the school to find Song Qingran before. I didn't expect her to be so influential that she would let these people go to her to design something personally. I think the reason why those people went to her was simply to win Mrs. Bai's favor and climb the social ladder through the Bai family."

A set of custom-made designs by the Jiang family costs around 100,000 yuan... not including the cost of production and jewelry selection.

If Song Qingran is so favored by Madam Bai, then... even more people will try to curry favor with her, and the constant stream of clients will even be able to steal market share from King Group.

Under such profit-driven production, Song Qingran still has some use.

"If that's really the case, we can find Song Qingran again and bring her back to the Jiang family."

Jiang Weiguo looked at her in surprise, "You... really think so?"

The changes in Jiang Hua overnight brought him some comfort.

Instead of acting emotionally, Jiang Hua is now calmly considering how to best benefit the Jiang family...

"I can tolerate someone like Pei Zhan, so what's a little Song Qingran... Since she's so valuable, why not break the old rules and let her return to the Jiang family? It doesn't matter whose money we make, especially since... we're making money off the wealthy..."

Jiang's Jewelry Group possesses the best jewelry and diamonds in all of China. It should be said that, apart from foreign jewelers, the best and rarest, the most treasured jewelry, is all in Jiang's hands. This is largely thanks to the fact that my mother's family has had a hobby of collecting precious jewelry for generations.

Several generations ago, Old Master Jiang contracted a mine overseas, which saved a significant portion of the price difference. Even the cheapest set of custom-made jewelry cost three to five million. Moreover, for wealthy women who wanted to squeeze into the real upper class, get to know high-ranking families like the Bai and Shen families, and build connections, a set of jewelry worth tens of millions was merely a stepping stone to enter this social class.

With Song Qingran as a powerful springboard to attract more valuable customers to the Jiang family, it's no wonder the Jiang family is in a good position.

Except... which she finds annoying.

Nothing else.

"However, the idea is good, but given what Jiang did before, I'm afraid she won't come back in."

Jiang Hua timidly turned her gaze from the scenery outside the car window, looked at her father, and suddenly laughed, saying, "Isn't Pei Zhan here? He's a master of coercion, bribery, and threats. He should know everything about Song Qingran's affairs."

"Dad, you can leave this to me."

Jiang Weiguo: "That's fine too."

Song Qingran's current great abilities are only due to the support of the Bai family. In her two lifetimes, apart from Song Qingran, Jiang Hua has never seen anyone else who could have such a background as the Bai family and still live such a successful life. Pei Zhan at least has a brain, while Song Qingran... seems to be just average in terms of talent, but her luck is much better than that of ordinary people.

After Jiang Hua returned to Yulong Bay, Jiang Weiguo couldn't resist playing a game of golf. Uncle Wang accompanied him to the artificial lake behind the villa. Xu Qiulan handed a document to Jiang Hua, which still had traces of wax seal and stamp markings. "Miss, someone gave this to you a few days before you were hospitalized, saying it was for you."

Remembering what Jiang Hua had investigated, she took the document and went upstairs. The document had not been opened by her. She opened the thick document, which contained information about Pei Zhan's former fiancée.

She was also very curious about what kind of person could make Pei Zhan refuse Jiang's conditions without flinching, and give up everything to marry this fiancée.

Jiang Hua sat on the wicker chair on the balcony and began to look at the documents she had received.

Zhou Wenqing, twenty-six years old, is also an orphan, and he came out of the orphanage with Pei Zhan...

So, if we calculate it this way, they were childhood sweethearts and had known each other for over twenty or nearly thirty years. If we look at it this way, it seems that Pei Zhan really valued his relationship with Zhou Wenqing back then.

So, can she be thankful that Pei Zhan didn't dump his fiancée, whom he was about to marry, because of the generous offer Jiang Shi made to him?

If Pei Zhan had agreed immediately, Jiang Hua would have truly looked down on him.

Occupational job, or a government-affiliated position?

He was once the top student in both arts and sciences.

In that photo, her features were fairly regular, though not as pretty as her. She looked capable and decisive, unlike Song Qingran who was delicate.

So this is what the person he used to like was like?

Zhou Wenqing is now married to a painter who has a gentle temperament and an artistic air about him. They also have a three-year-old child.

This Zhou Wenqing seems to be someone who doesn't hesitate, acts decisively, and doesn't drag things out. She probably treats relationships the same way. The timing of her marriage and childbirth is quite coincidental. She got married quickly within a year of breaking up with Pei Zhan, and then had a child soon after.

It's interesting that I never contacted him during this time...

Jiang Hua would learn about anyone she was very interested in, down to the smallest detail. After reading through the materials, three hours had passed, and before she knew it, dusk had fallen outside, with the setting sun painting half the sky with golden light.

Just then, Jiang Hua's phone rang, and she answered it without thinking.

The other party said, "Ms. Jiang, I've given you all the documents. Now, would you like to see the remaining balance?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a noise outside the door. The door opened, and when she saw the person returning from the hospital, Jiang Hua immediately looked away, a hint of panic in her eyes, probably because she felt a little guilty. "I'll call you back in a bit," she said, and then hung up the phone.

Just as Jiang Hua finished putting away her things, she saw the person who had returned walk towards her without looking at her. Pei Zhan lowered his eyes, glanced at the document in her hand, and did not ask any questions, but he understood.

"Shall we go downstairs for dinner?"

Jiang Hua put the document aside and pretended to play with her phone. A beam of light fell on her, making the velvety down on her face clearly visible. Her skin seemed to glow, fair and delicate without any flaws. "You're discharged from the hospital so soon?" she asked, her gaze no longer on him, but focused on her phone.

"It's just a minor surgery."

"Sit down, I have something I'd like to discuss with you."

His tone has indeed become more restrained, unlike before when everything he said was delivered in a commanding manner.

Pei Zhan sat down. "Tell me, Mrs. Pei, what is it that you want to discuss with me?"

Jiang Hua: "I want Song Qingran to return to the Jiang family. As for the reason, you should know. The incident between Song Qingran and the Shen family has been widely publicized, and Song Qingran was fired by the Jiang family. Madam Bai deliberately revealed her attitude towards Song Qingran to tell everyone that the Jiang family's decision to fire Song Qingran was a mistake, and to use her connections to support her. During this period, the Jiang family has also lost a lot of high-end clients. So many wives from the Beijing social circle are approaching Song Qingran only because of her relationship with Madam Bai. They all want to use Song Qingran to get close to the Bai family. Now, not only people from the capital, but also from Shanghai and Hong Kong are specifically looking for Song Qingran. Even... the King Group has lost a lot of clients to Song Qingran."

The Bai family did this to tell everyone that Song Qingran is protected by the Bai family. Even without the Jiang family company, she can still use the Bai family's connections to do what she wants and make a name for herself in the capital.

Now, apart from the Shen family, no one wants to get involved with the Bai family.

Pei Zhan listened attentively to what Jiang Hua said, carefully and calmly analyzing what she had said. "Now that Mrs. Pei has finished speaking, let me first share my thoughts."

"First, Song Qingran has the Bai family's connections and backing, but that won't last long. The Bai family is cautious and never forms factions. Even if she's currently riding high, the Bai family will never change Bai Wenjing's stance because of her words. Second, my suggestion is that instead of letting her return to Jiang's, we should have her sign a two-year cooperation agreement with Jiang's. She will provide the design drawings, and Jiang's will provide after-sales service, including product selection and ensuring that all high-end customers who haven't previously shopped at Jiang's will enjoy Jiang's highest level of hospitality. As for her compensation, it should be calculated as 30% of the commission she would receive as a former Jiang's employee."

"Third, this way Song Qingran and the Jiang family will only have a cooperative relationship, not an employment relationship. If a similar situation to the Shen family occurs again in the future, it will not affect the Jiang family."

What does Mrs. Pei think?

That's why I say Pei Zhan is so smart.

He also showed off.

Jiang Hua pursed her lips at him, a cold smile playing on her lips. "You talk so well, why don't you go and negotiate yourself?"

"After all that has happened, Mrs. Pei, do you still think she's willing to... agree to such 'unfair' conditions?" As Jiang Hua got up to leave, Pei Zhan grabbed her wrist and looked up at her, making him feel that Jiang Hua was deliberately trying to push him away.

Pei Zhan's word "unfair" seemed to be an accusation as well. Jiang Hua narrowed her eyes, raised her eyebrows, and said slowly, "No matter how unfair it is, it depends on who is talking to you."

"Even if it's an unfair agreement, with President Pei's charm, is he afraid he can't win over Song Qingran?"

"Isn't it just a matter of pinky swiping?"
