Jiang Cheng said something that made Mr. Liu and Director Chen suppress their laughter.

Mr. Liu frankly asked: "Ms. Jiang Cheng, did you ever consider what would happen if you failed?"

"I did."

"But my premise is that Chi Lang sneaks out; if they don’t sneak out, the following events wouldn’t happen."

"Them sneaking out and barging into the mess, what does that have to do with us?"

Jiang Cheng understands people like Chi Lang too well.

Jiang Cheng’s confidence left Mr. Liu and Director Chen at a loss for words.

This girl is bold and meticulous.

She executed the plan brilliantly!

She is a capable general.

However, using such a capable general entails certain risks.

"Alright, the matter is over; let’s keep this to ourselves."

With Mr. Liu’s final word, Jiang Cheng and Director Chen got out of the car, and entered the machinery plant.

At this moment, the machinery plant was bustling with activity, everyone working overtime.

The union and publicity department put up large red banners, holding mobilization meetings.

For foreign exchange, work hard!

Jiang Cheng temporarily stayed at the machinery plant, while visiting the Foreign Affairs Hotel daily, leading a group of R nation people around.

Her unbeatable eloquence and profound cultural knowledge played a crucial role once again.

Using historical references and allusions effectively.

Initially, the R nation people interrupted Jiang Cheng, saying they had similar things in their country.

Yet the next moment, Jiang Cheng swiftly countered them.

"Such architecture flourished in the Tang Dynasty...."

"Such calligraphy was first initiated by Emperor Qin Shi Huang...."

No matter what R nation people said or mentioned, Jiang Cheng could always trace things back to their original roots.

Upon checking, everything originated from Hua Xia.

R nation almost had nothing of its own.

After several instances, the R nation people didn’t dare to speak out randomly anymore.

The translator following Jiang Cheng often struggled to suppress laughter.

His admiration for Jiang Cheng grew by the day.

That growing admiration reached its peak when they arrived at the foreign goods store.

Jiang Cheng knew the best strategy with R nation people was provocation.

This is an arrogant yet self-abasing nation.

Inside the foreign goods store.

Jiang Cheng kept the conversation balanced, provoking when necessary, advising when needed.

"Oh? R nation’s candies are also royal recipes? This used to be royal family’s exclusive candies."

R nation people: Royal family?

These two words are quite enticing, maybe they should buy some to taste?

"I heard R nation’s ceramics are impressive; you really don’t need to buy them back, comparing them to ours would be embarrassing."

R nation people: Hua Xia embarrassed?

Buy!

"Goodness! This is too expensive, I misread the price! Everyone please don’t buy this, it’s way too pricey! Even we Hua Xia people wouldn’t buy something this expensive!"

R nation people: Who’s looking down on us?

Buy!

Amid Jiang Cheng’s chatter, the foreign goods store sent eight staff members to follow their group.

In the end, they bought so many things, it was impossible to carry them back.

The R nation people began to have second thoughts, even considering backing out.

Don’t assume they wouldn’t dare back out.

This is a cunning nation lacking moral principles!

"Everyone need not worry; the foreign goods store offers delivery service specially for esteemed foreign guests, a privilege not available to anyone else."

"Taking these things back would make others incredibly envious!"

"You are indeed very capable!"

Jiang Cheng flattered them promptly, and the R nation people smiled again.

Special, envy, capability.

Well said!

They are indeed that capable!

Send them back!

With a grand gesture, all the purchased items were delivered to the Foreign Affairs Hotel swiftly by the store’s management.

When the group of R nation people returned, all staff at the Foreign Affairs Hotel expressed perfect envy.

The leader, Chi Lang, frequently heard comments of admiration.

"R nation people bought so many things, they really are wealthy."

"Of course! They dress so well, it’s beyond our comparison."

"So envious of them!"

Such words were heard countless times during their three-day stay at the hotel.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t see the barely contained smiles and satisfaction from the staff.

Three days later, Chi Lang and his group prepared to leave.

They had no choice but to go!

The foreign currency they brought was nearly spent!

Jiang Cheng, Director Chen, and the foreign trade staff sent Chi Lang and his group off, watching them board a car heading to Beijing airport.

A group of people returned to the machinery plant silently.

Inside the largest office at the machinery plant, Director Chen sat in the chief position, with a group below him.

"Director, can we proceed now?"

Director Chen adopted the most cautious approach, solemnly nodding his head: "We can."

With the word "can," three seconds of silence followed.

"Ah—-foreign exchange!"

"We’re profiting like crazy!"

"Hahaha! It’s stifling!"

"Who isn’t! These past few days, I’ve been pretending to be miserable, my entire family thought I was seriously ill!"

"Those little R nation people must be ecstatic now! Thinking they’ve gotten a great deal."

"Earning foreign exchange feels great, but fooling the little R nation people feels even better!"

"I can hardly wait to see them take delivery four months later when we deliver on time!"

The office filled with frenzied joy and laughter.

Director Chen finally laughed too. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Rubbing his cheek, it had been gnawed raw over the past days.

Director Chen gazed at the very composed Jiang Cheng and couldn’t help but ask: "How did you suppress your laughter all these days?"

"I didn’t suppress it; I told myself it was the truth, to fool others, I needed to fool myself first."

Jiang Cheng calmly sipped water.

"My advanced acting skills aren’t something ordinary people can master."

"Regrettably, we could have fleeced more from them, but who’d have thought they’d bring only this much money."

"Regretful missed opportunities."

Director Chen felt completely numb.

He seemingly discovered something remarkable.

Could this be Jiang Cheng’s true nature?

The boasting felt so natural.

If he hadn’t known that Jiang Cheng was colluding with the Foreign Affairs Hotel staff to put on a show, he might have believed it.

Single-handedly, she managed to send away the R nation people originally planning to stay for eight days.

And still, she regrets it??

Jiang Cheng, speaking, smiled at Director Chen as she calmly poured him tea.

"Director Chen agrees with me, doesn’t he."

"I knew we were heroes who think alike."

Director Chen, amused by Jiang Cheng’s shamelessness, laughed and gave her a thumbs up: "You are something!"

"I knew you’d eventually recognize my excellence."

Jiang Cheng confessed without a hint of guilt.

After the joyful release in the office, everyone left gradually.

Jiang Cheng lagged behind a step, seeing this, Director Chen said: "Rest assured, your bonus won’t be short!"

Jiang Cheng shook her head.

"Director Chen, I’d like to discuss something else with you."

"What is it?"

Jiang Cheng stepped forward.

"Director Chen, from my understanding, this order indeed exceeds your plant’s production capacity, ensuring absolute security means you’ll certainly make other moves."

"So... if you look to collaborate with another mechanical plant, I’d like to use this favor to secure an opportunity for our S City machinery plant."

"You don’t have to choose us, just give us a chance."

"Is that possible?"
