Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Reporting George

"Divine doctor, divine doctor!"

Jiang Cheng clapped, and Director Yuan and Director Su, who had been following her, were the first to cooperate.

A round of applause broke out.

The little trick of pretending to faint by people from Country R was thus seen through.

He reluctantly stood up, wanting to break the agreement but couldn’t find a suitable reason.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng stepped forward and formally extended her hand to the leader from Country R.

"Mr. Chi Lang, do you have any questions about the products you purchased?"

"As the translator this time, I’m very willing to answer your questions."

The leader from Country R did not extend his hand, but Jiang Cheng didn’t mind and naturally withdrew hers, continuing without any awkwardness: "The porcelain, food, and toys you purchased are excellent business choices and will definitely bring you profit."

Jiang Cheng continued speaking.

Her words left the leader from Country R both angry and convinced.

He was angry because they had been deceived by Jiang Cheng.

But as Jiang Cheng said, taking these items back to sell would surely bring him profit.

The most important part was, they weren’t spending their own money.

Realizing this, the anger in the leader from Country R’s heart eased a bit.

In the end, as long as his own interests weren’t harmed, it was fine.

The leader from Country R snorted coldly at Jiang Cheng, who was still trying to persuade him, then turned to leave.

The other people from Country R followed him.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng slightly curled the corners of her lips, a smile fleeting across her face.

For someone of his age, he still needed someone to give him a way out.

If it were her, she would find her own way out.

"Mr. Chi Lang—happy cooperation."

Chi Lang from Country R looked back with a glare: He was not happy!

Jiang Cheng waved cheerfully at Chi Lang, her bright smile provoking another cold snort from him.

With a faint smile, Jiang Cheng turned around and immediately found George.

"Mr. George, let me introduce you to someone."

George, who had social anxiety, was feeling intensely uncomfortable being watched.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly went over and cleared the surrounding crowd.

"Get busy, everyone, go make more money."

"Please make way, make way."

The people around George began to thin out, and he seemed to ease his hunched shoulders a bit.

Jiang Cheng stood beside George, not touching him.

"Mr. George, this is Director Mu from foreign trade, she can put in a word, and I’ll introduce you. Does that sound okay?"

George looked at Director Mu, then at Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang...will you be there?"

George had a fledgling attachment to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded, "Of course."

Hearing Jiang Cheng’s affirmative answer, George felt slightly more relaxed, but not much.

Next, after Jiang Cheng introduced George and Director Mu, the three left together.

In the crowd, Director Su was holding some snacks.

"Haven’t eaten yet! This kid... don’t let him go hungry."

Having known each other for less than half a day, Director Su already had the worries of an old father.

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng was also genuinely hungry.

She looked at George and asked, "Mr. George, are you hungry?"

George nodded.

"What would you like to eat? Please be clear about your preferences, I’ll try to arrange it, that way you’ll be happy, and so will I."

George’s eyes brightened, he could actually make requests?

"I have quite a few preferences, is that alright?"

Jiang Cheng adamantly nodded, "Of course it’s alright."

"I don’t like my foods touching each other, each should be placed separately, I like square-shaped foods, I don’t eat poultry, fish, mutton, or..."

George listed many things.

Even the amount of water in his cup was specified.

Jiang Cheng dutifully noted down all the preferences, even asking warmly, "Anything else?"

George shook his head.

"Good, I’ll prepare according to your wishes."

Visibly, George relaxed just a tiny bit.

While conversing, the three arrived at the foreign trade office area, where Director Mu called over Director Leng and another leader, and the five of them moved to a small private room.

In the small room, Jiang Cheng, acting as George’s spokesperson, explained George’s basic situation.

Among the three leaders opposite, the one with the surname Cui was the decision-maker.

During Jiang Cheng’s "blitz" with the people from Country R, Director Leng had already reported the situation, and Director Cui had heard about Jiang Cheng’s accomplishments.

"Comrade Jiang Cheng, are you sure that all the information you provided is accurate?"

"No."

After these straightforward words, Jiang Cheng continued, "Verifying the information is not my job."

Director Cui was silent for a few seconds, then smiled, "You’re right."

From there, the matter was straightforward; regardless of whether George’s information was true or false, the Hua Xia side needed to verify it.

It was only logical for George to temporarily stay in Hua Xia, while professionals would investigate and medical experts would examine him later.

But for now, apart from eating, George had no urgent matters.

Since George showed a dependency on Jiang Cheng, Director Cui and the others decided to let George temporarily stay with Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng naturally agreed.

Once the matter was settled, Jiang Cheng took George out of the small room and headed to the ceramics booth.

The ceramics booth manager still remembered Jiang Cheng; the previous deal happened so quickly, he didn’t even have time to react.

But after some consideration, he finally understood a bit.

Jiang Cheng was provoking those people from Country R, right?

In any case, the order was partly thanks to Jiang Cheng.

So Jiang Cheng’s arrival was warmly welcomed by the manager.

After exchanging pleasantries with him, Jiang Cheng expressed her interest in buying some bowls and a new teapot.

The ceramics factory manager pretended to be angry, "You don’t think much of me? Buying just a few bowls?"

"Take them! I’ll be really mad if you don’t."

Jiang Cheng was stuffed with the items and then shooed away.

Holding the items, Jiang Cheng expressed her gratitude repeatedly and left the marketplace with George.

Outside the marketplace, she found Li Chunxiang and Gao Zhonghua, gave them some instructions, and watched as they quickly left.

Jiang Cheng then sat outside with George, the two soaking up the sun.

Jiang Cheng was uncharacteristically quiet and relaxed, not deliberately searching for topics to discuss.

This relaxed atmosphere allowed George to also unwind, as he didn’t like chatting.

The two sat quietly for more than an hour, until Li Chunxiang and Gao Zhonghua returned.

"Jiang Cheng, here are the items you asked for."

"Thank you, have you two eaten?"

Li Chunxiang nodded, patting her belly, "Don’t worry, we ate plenty! How can we work if we’re not fed, right?"

Jiang Cheng smiled approvingly, "Exactly! Eat whatever you want, it’s on me."

And she wasn’t just saying it; last night, Jiang Cheng gave money coupons to Li Chunxiang and Gao Zhonghua, three hundred each.

Such an amount startled Li Chunxiang so much, she barely slept, waking up repeatedly to check the money under her pillow.

Jiang Cheng, carrying a basket, took George back into the marketplace.

After their items were inspected, they were allowed passage.

Jiang Cheng led George to a spot near the furniture factory.

She directly asked the furniture factory manager for some tables and chairs, then arranged the food she had brought along.

"George, time to eat."

Looking at the food before him, George showed his first genuine smile.

The meal was incredibly simple.

A stack of square pancakes, a small plate of square carrot pieces, a small plate of square potato pieces, and a glass of water.

Comparing this to Jiang Cheng’s meal: a steamed fish, a clam soup, and minced meat stir-fried with greens.

Wasn’t this comparison a bit stark?
