Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Flattering the Ceiling

Du Bin looked at the smile on Jiang Cheng’s face, and his hair stood on end.

He instinctively leaned back and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Cheng humbly replied, "Of course, doing what a good translator should do."

Du Bin swallowed dryly and asked, "What is that?"

"Naturally, it’s about assisting and helping foreign merchants solve their problems."

Jiang Cheng gave Du Bin a look of disappointment and said, "Comrade Du Bin, you need to strengthen your spiritual and cultural development."

Du Bin thought: I must have been blind earlier to have felt any attraction towards this woman!

Jiang Cheng didn’t care what Du Bin was thinking; she grabbed her lunch and ran off.

Du Bin got up to look, but Jiang Cheng was too quick, and he couldn’t see anything meaningful.

However, he started to have some expectations, hoping Jiang Cheng would thoroughly deceive Jack.

Jiang Cheng left and went to the ceramics factory, chatted with the factory director for quite a while before leaving.

After leaving, Jiang Cheng went to find Du Bin again and asked him to introduce her to Jack.

"Sure, but that Jack is a bit... special, he might not accept a change in translator."

"You don’t need to worry, just make the introduction."

Seeing Jiang Cheng’s confidence, Du Bin felt somewhat reassured.

Soon, the foreign guests gradually returned, and Du Bin led Jiang Cheng to the entrance, working hard to look calm and unfrazzled.

"Mr. Jack."

Upon seeing Jack, Du Bin stepped forward, and Jack glanced at Du Bin and said, "Du... Have you found the unique product yet? To be honest, after a few days, I’m a bit disappointed."

Du Bin squeezed out a smile, stepped back, and said, "Mr. Jack, I’m not very knowledgeable. This is our other translator, Jiang Cheng. She can translate better for you."

"Mr. Jack, I’ve heard a lot about you."

Jiang Cheng stepped forward, humbly extended her hand, and smiled slightly flatteringly.

The little bit of inflated self-esteem in Jack’s heart was instantly lifted by Jiang Cheng’s smile.

"Hmm."

Jack assumed an indifferent attitude, and Jiang Cheng didn’t mind as she lowered her hand and started praising Jack comprehensively.

"Mr. Jack, I’m very honored to translate for you. Du Bin always tells me about your vast experience and unique vision."

"I’ve always wanted to meet you and begged Du Bin several times before he reluctantly let me come to help. He said that being by your side, he learned a lot about conduct and business skills."

...

Behind them, Du Bin was listening with a twitching eye.

He wouldn’t dare say such things even in his dreams!

Jiang Cheng, how can you say such things as if it’s no big deal??

At this moment, Jack was already floating from Jiang Cheng’s flattery.

Jack had no major abilities, but he had a very successful father.

His father had three sons, worked hard to cultivate the eldest son as the successor, but the eldest son was killed in a plane crash.

The second son was an artist, so in the blink of an eye, Jack’s father had no successor.

Jack stepped up by default.

Although he had no skills, he desired to accomplish grand things.

After reading some so-called business books, he thought he was great and spouted empty talk, leaving those below him to guess.

Actually, he himself didn’t even know what he wanted.

After discreetly gathering some information, Jiang Cheng’s mind churned again.

"Heavens, Mr. Jack, you’re only twenty-one years old!"

"What kind of business genius are you!"

"Please forgive my excitement, looking at your youthful face, I thought it impossible for someone your age to be so skilled."

Jiang Cheng’s exaggerated expressions matched her lavish praise, making Jack try to hold back his smile.

This translator has insight!

Behind them, Du Bin thought: One word—impressive!

"Translator Jiang, I’ve just been exposed to my father’s ways, nothing worth mentioning."

Jiang Cheng instantly showed a disagreeing expression.

"How can it not be worth mentioning! In my view, you surpass even the best!"

Jiang Cheng spent the next ten minutes focusing on praising Jack’s steadiness and discretion.

The more Jiang Cheng praised, the more Jack acted composed, leaving no one able to understand what he wanted. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Behind them, Du Bin was utterly confused.

What direction is this going in?

Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng didn’t explain him.

At this moment, several people arrived at the fireworks exhibit, where foreign merchants were viewing the goods.

Jiang Cheng immediately reined in her smile and followed beside Jack, calling over one of the manufacturer representatives, and carefully inquired about the price of each firework.

Jiang Cheng asked very thoroughly, asking Jack, "Is this okay?"

Jack, following the profound route, nodded slightly and said, "It’s okay."

"For Mr. Jack to say it’s okay is the highest praise for your products."

With one sentence from Jiang Cheng, Jack’s status was elevated considerably.

"Our Mr. Jack is the son of the Green family in M Country, and the future heir. To receive his praise is truly your fortune."

Jiang Cheng’s words were overheard by another foreign merchant.

After quietly translating, the merchant viewing the fireworks sneaked a glance at the "profound" Jack.

Jack was staring down at the fireworks.

It gave an impression that, the next second, Jack would say: I’ll take them all!

Suddenly, the interested merchant felt urgent.

"Tell their factory director we want to sign the contract."

"Okay."

The translator, though surprised, still translated truthfully.

Soon, the fireworks factory secured a foreign exchange deal, and after the contract was signed by that foreign merchant, Jiang Cheng led Jack away.

The fireworks boss: Why did they come here???

Du Bin: I’m even more confused??

The only one who wasn’t confused, Jiang Cheng, took Jack to the food factory exhibit, repeating the same method, but with different flattering language for Jack.

By the time the food factory successfully obtained their order, Jiang Cheng coincidentally took Jack to another booth.

Behind them, Du Bin faintly noticed a hint but was still uncertain.

Until Jiang Cheng took Jack to the sugar factory, and another foreign merchant signed an order, after the order, Jiang Cheng once again took Jack away.

Du Bin was certain.

Jiang Cheng was using Jack as a tool, in essence, using him as a hidden strategy.

Whenever a foreign merchant showed interest, Jiang Cheng would bring Jack over.

Jack was like a catalyst; his presence created urgency and a sense of competition for orders among merchants.

This also spurred the merchants to accelerate contract signings.

Seeing this, Du Bin gradually understood, praising Jiang Cheng wasn’t enough to describe her anymore.

She was simply extraordinary!

How did she come up with and execute this strategy in such a short time?

Du Bin, utterly convinced, had only one thought: Jiang Cheng is too terrifying.

Her future husband is probably going to end up counting the money she earns.

At this moment, Du Bin didn’t even know the term "love brain."
