Jiang Cheng once again left without a trace of reluctance.

Rose was completely puzzled.

Why wouldn’t she come to him?

The Hua Xia people are all trying hard to do business with them, and their cheap labor is one of the reasons he’s here.

Rose was a hundred percent confident he could easily manipulate the Hua Xia side.

But now...

Could it be that they really didn’t want to sell?

On the other side, Jiang Cheng walked out of the Foreign Affairs Hotel with a smirk.

Rose was about to run out of patience.

Jiang Cheng dared to manipulate Rose like that because she knew that what she had was exactly what Rose wanted.

Rose’s full name is Ross France, a famous member of the Frans Family in Country M.

The Frans Family is famous for their family rules.

One of them is that family members receive a sum of money when they turn twenty, allowing them to do anything with it.

Rose just turned twenty this year.

In his personal biography, Ross France wrote that this trip to Hua Xia put him at a disadvantage in the family heir competition, listing the reasons in detail.

When Jiang Cheng obtained Rose France’s information from Director Mu, she felt a bit dazed.

She was living inside a book.

But important historical events and figures seemed to match up?

So she speculated the book was just a small corner, and the big world background was connected.

With this question, she went to the Foreign Affairs Hotel.

Upon meeting Rose for the first time, she was sure this was the Ross France she knew.

Right now, she had nearly fifty years’ worth of information disparity to deal with the not-yet-head of the Frans Family, who was just 20 years old.

And she had once studied Rose’s personal biography.

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly.

In her eyes, Rose was a fat sheep ready to be sheared sustainably.

Jiang Cheng’s mind kept turning as she walked to the tram station and returned to the hostel.

Downstairs at the hostel, Jiang Cheng didn’t go upstairs but instead started chatting fluidly with the auntie.

During these five days, Jiang Cheng delivered something to the auntie every day.

A small bag of sunflower seeds, some snacks.

Every time, she would chat with the auntie for a while.

"Leaving already?"

The auntie looked at Jiang Cheng with a reluctant expression.

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "The business is done, and I have to go back home. Can’t afford to stay here."

The auntie appeared reluctant again, and Jiang Cheng acted even more intensely.

After chatting for a few minutes, Jiang Cheng went upstairs.

Upstairs, Jiang Cheng called Director Lu and Director Lian. The three of them packed their things, did the formalities, and left.

Outside the hostel was the tricycle brother Jiang Cheng had already arranged with.

The three of them got on the vehicle and left the hostel.

In the afternoon after the three left, a tall foreigner with blonde hair and blue eyes arrived at the hostel with several Hua Xia people.

Rose finally ran out of patience.

Rose made some inquiries, got Jiang Cheng’s address, and came over.

"Gone?"

Rose looked at the interpreter, who nodded and pointed at the receptionist auntie, saying, "This comrade said they’ve already checked out and left."

The hostel auntie babbled a lot, and Rose had the interpreter translate everything.

"She said Jiang Cheng came to find the plastics factory, but didn’t seem to succeed."

"She also said Jiang Cheng ran into foreigners at the foreign exchange store a few days ago and seemed to have helped."

"Jiang Cheng worked as an interpreter and left after the job, as she couldn’t afford the accommodation."

The interpreter translated honestly, and Rose listened with doubt.

Did he overthink?

So he wasn’t the one being poorly manipulated by the other?

Rose was initially annoyed but then laughed at his own caution.

After laughing, he returned to his usual arrogance.

"No need for translation, let’s go."

Rose turned around and left.

The interpreter and accompanying staff followed.

Behind them, the auntie pouted: Really stingy! Asked so many questions without leaving anything.

Sigh — no one is as lovely as that young lady Jiang Cheng.

Loves to chat but is also generous.

The auntie was completely unaware that Jiang Cheng had deliberately said those things just for the cautious Rose’s visit.

Back home, Rose directly called his think tank for analysis.

Originally intending to manipulate Jiang Cheng for a price cut, but since that’s currently not feasible, taking the normal route will suffice.

Anyway, what he had his eye on, he must obtain!

The young Rose exuded imperiousness and superiority.

Feeling like he had the situation under control, the next day he personally went to find the foreign trade department’s staff to propose a negotiation with the candy factory.

The foreign trade staff were a little surprised but quickly passed on the message.

Both Director Mu and Director Yan heard this news simultaneously.

The two unconsciously went downstairs and stood at the cafeteria entrance.

Together they looked at Jiang Cheng, who was chatting with the cafeteria chef in their foreign trade cafeteria.

How did she do it?

When Jiang Cheng left the hostel yesterday, she didn’t actually leave Sea City.

She directly moved to a hostel under the foreign trade department’s management, staying for free with meals included.

After hearing yesterday about the cafeteria chef’s signature skill, she’s been lingering around the chef.

She even professionally wore a white apron and a chef’s hat.

In short, no one from the outside would be able to tell that this person specializes in "fooling" foreigners.

After watching for a minute outside the cafeteria, Director Mu and Director Yan simultaneously stepped inside.

"Director Yan, didn’t you say that Ms. Jiang Cheng has an unkind mind?"

"Director Mu, you have to allow people to make mistakes, as long as they correct them, they can still be a good comrade."

Director Mu nudged with his elbow and looked slyly.

"Good my ass!"

"Hey, hey, hey — Mr. Mu, mind your image."

Director Yan fell a step behind Director Mu, watching ahead with a smile in his eyes.

The leading Director Mu rushed straight to Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang Cheng, Rose is going to the candy factory."

Jiang Cheng, who was peeling a carrot, responded with an "oh" and looked up.

"Then let him talk, haven’t we already set the price? Just stick to it."

Jiang Cheng continued peeling carrots, her leisurely demeanor in stark contrast to the excited Director Mu.

"Aren’t you really going?"

"I can’t go."

Jiang Cheng looked up again.

"If I go, it will mess up the negotiations."

"Rose’s pride won’t allow anyone smarter than him to exist!"

"If I go, it will only be seen as a weapon to coerce us into lowering the price."

"You don’t need to overestimate my role, when it comes to negotiation, Hua Xia has many talents."

Director Mu knew Jiang Cheng was right, but she didn’t know when she started feeling at ease with Jiang Cheng around.

"Alright then."

Director Mu reluctantly agreed, ready to leave.

"By the way..."

A "by the way," and Director Mu, who had just turned around, swiftly turned back, as smooth as silk.

"What’s up?"

Even the contaminated Northeastern accent came out of Director Mu.

"Rose is most interested in bamboo weaving and ceramics, candy is just the bait, be cautious not to fall into his trap, all prices should follow what we previously agreed."

Director Mu nodded, keeping it in mind.

Jiang Cheng continued peeling carrots.

Suddenly a shadow appeared in front of her.

"Director Yan, anything you need?"

Jiang Cheng asked as Director Yan pulled over a small stool to sit down, saying, "Nothing in particular, just chatting with you."

"Chatting with me? About who has the blackest heart?"

With a snort, Director Yan couldn’t help but laugh.

"You already know that?"

Jiang Cheng put down the green radish, saying faintly, "I didn’t want to know, but no one treated me like an outsider, is it because of my overwhelming charm, or does Director Yan have bad relations with people."

"Why don’t you take a guess?"

Director Yan: What’s he up to, exactly??
