Jiang Cheng faced Leader Qiao’s question and shook his head.

"Currently, the information we have is too limited, so I don’t have any concrete ideas, but....."

Jiang Cheng paused, the smile of a sly fox reappearing.

"But I can imitate the accents of a few people, maybe it’ll come in handy."

Leader Qiao adjusted his outdated glasses on the bridge of his nose, appearing as an honest person anyone would think is easily bullied.

"It will definitely be useful."

Leader Qiao invited everyone to sit down, and in a soft voice said, "First, we need to try to determine the lowest price M Group can accept. Second, we must try to find out the lowest price of R and H. Third, we need to ensure that when the difference in bottom prices between the three parties is minimal, M will choose us."

"Later, we’ll split up under the guise of going out for a meal, acting separately as planned before, gathering as much information as possible, and meet up in the evening."

Jiang Cheng and the others quickly nodded and took action without delay.

Ten minutes later, a group of simple, outdated-looking Hua Xia people, carrying worn-out cloth bags, stepped off the elevator with synchronized movements.

Entrusted with significant responsibility, Jiang Cheng went to the hotel front desk to enquire about the directions to a Chinese restaurant.

Despite receiving several eye rolls, Jiang Cheng remained polite, expressing thanks.

After the Hua Xia team left, quite a few hotel staff whispered about the Hua Xia people.

However, unbeknownst to them, the Hua Xia team, divided into three groups, quickly dispersed.

None were timid or submissive, nor did they try to ingratiate themselves.

With clear goals, they persevered in a foreign land where they had no acquaintances.

Jiang Cheng teamed up with Teacher Qi.

The two of them went to a public restroom in a mall to change into slightly better clothes, significantly altering their air.

If before they’d appeared as relatives exploiting their kinship, they now seemed like wealthy, harmless, and innocent tourists.

"Teacher, they have a coffee culture, how about we stake out a coffee shop near the company?"

"That’s possible, if we split, we might gain more information."

Jiang Cheng nodded, and the two headed towards the coffee shop near M Group.

Once there, Teacher Qi acted as a kind elderly lady who didn’t understand English, while Jiang Cheng transformed into a backpacker recently graduated from university.

They had already collected prior knowledge on the appearances of several M Group leaders; their visit was to try their luck.

Jiang Cheng opened the door to a coffee shop, walking confidently and casually towards the counter, ordering a cup of coffee.

While waiting for the coffee, she scanned the surroundings, noticing a man holding a folder.

The folder bore the emblem of M Group.

"Miss, your coffee is ready."

Jiang Cheng turned around to thank them, took her coffee, and left.

After walking a few steps, someone stood up and bumped into Jiang Cheng’s backpack.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Cheng staggered forward, and the coffee spilled onto the man holding the folder.

"I’m sorry!"

"I’m sorry!"

A cascade of apologies sounded as the person who bumped Jiang Cheng apologized to her, and Jiang Cheng apologized to the man.

Although annoyed, upon seeing Jiang Cheng’s pleasant face, the man restrained his anger and said it’s alright.

Jiang Cheng, fumbling hurriedly, requested some tissues, attempting to wipe off the man’s clothes.

The man waved it off saying it wasn’t necessary, opting to use tissues himself.

With her hands in a flustered state, Jiang Cheng stood aside helplessly, merely helping to wipe the coffee stains off the man’s documents. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

The man was not particularly vigilant because the papers he had weren’t particularly confidential.

Without needing any cunning dialogue, Jiang Cheng managed to glimpse the contents of the man’s papers.

After most of the coffee was cleared away, the man departed, and Jiang Cheng did not pursue him further.

Murmuring about her bad luck, she returned for another coffee.

While waiting for the coffee, Jiang Cheng engaged in casual chat with the employee, subtly steering the conversation toward M Group, leading the employee to share quite a bit without caution.

Asking who liked to drink coffee there, who had the most demands, and so on, collecting bits of various useful and useless information.

After exiting the coffee shop, Jiang Cheng followed directions pointed out by the employee toward an alley behind M Group.

Supposedly, a bunch of employees regularly gathered there to smoke and complained about various things.

Jiang Cheng barely entered the alley and heard someone swearing and groaning in pain.

Reactively dodging, a stun baton flickered in her hand.

"Don’t come again! Next time your pain won’t be spared!"

"You’re really not that rich Simon!"

"Get lost!"

A few bodyguard-like men spat out profanities, and several minutes later, Jiang Cheng emerged from the corner, rushing toward the curled-up figure on the ground.

"Mr. Simon?"

Simon, struggling to open his swollen eyes, blurred vision obscuring the person before him.

"I must be dreaming.... how could it be.....

"Mr. Simon, I’m Jiang Cheng, from Hua Xia!"

Supporting himself on his arm, Simon rose half-bent, trying tirelessly to focus on Jiang Cheng.

"Jiang? Is it really you? How are you here?"

Ignoring the dirt, Jiang Cheng helped Simon up, saying, "Surely I foresaw your danger, so here I am."

Amused by her humor, Simon laughed, only to tug painfully at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Cheng supported him as they left, eventually finding a pharmacy after walking some distance.

Jiang Cheng bought some iodine and such, assisting Simon in cleaning his exposed wounds.

After his wounds were treated, Jiang Cheng took Simon to a restaurant.

In this moment, Simon was happily indulging.

"Please forgive my rude behavior, I’m just too hungry."

Jiang Cheng shook her head, "If I were hungry, I’d eat the plate itself."

Simon laughed genuinely once more.

After more than ten minutes, Simon finished eating, savoring a cheap coffee, sighed deeply, "Satisfying."

Following his satisfaction, the two shared their reasons for being in the same place.

It turned out Simon had faced the brunt of capital pressure after returning from Hua Xia, M Group being a part of it.

It wasn’t just because of George, but also because people in M Group had their eyes on his alcohol business.

Originally intending to follow Jiang Cheng’s advice to go to Hua Xia, Simon found himself completely broke.

Forced to become a beggar, Simon harassed M Group daily, which Jiang Cheng happened upon today.

At this point, Simon looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Are you here to secure production lines in M Country?"

Jiang Cheng wasn’t surprised Simon guessed it; he was once a wealthy native of M Country, after all.

"Yes."

Simon appreciated Jiang Cheng’s honesty, leaning closer with his hands cupping the coffee cup, "Actually, M Group wants to sell the production line to you more than you might think. They need the funds."

Jiang Cheng believed seventy percent of Simon’s words; the remaining thirty percent was her cautious skepticism.

Jiang Cheng became more serious, looking at Simon and asking, "Mr. Simon, what do you want?"

Simon flashed an appreciative smile.

"Jiang Cheng, I’ve always said you’d be a most qualified businessperson."

"I want to go to Hua Xia, if you help me, I’ll exchange all the information I know."
