The following content was inaudible to Jiang Nan Fang.
She hadn't expected to witness such gossip while signing a property contract.
Ke Teng pursed his lips.
"It's obvious they're not just friends. This man is old enough to be her father, and she can sleep with him?"
"These days, some women will do anything to succeed."
Jiang Nan Fang shot him a sideways glance.
"Whatever others do, as long as it's not illegal, it's none of your business. Stop commenting on others and save your breath."
"If you're not ashamed to do indecent things yourself, don't expect others to be virtuous for you. I'm not that kind."
Ke Teng unbuckled Jiang Nan Fang's seatbelt and pulled her out.
"Let me tell you a universal truth. A man who can't control his lower body will never succeed."
"I'm sure if this old man continues to get involved with this woman, he'll be ruined sooner or later."
Jiang Nan Fang actually agreed with this statement.
When a man invests too much energy in romance, his career is bound to suffer.
Take Mr. Ke Jingyu for example.
Although his wife passed away early, he remained chaste, which is why his career flourished.
But he's been alone for years. Doesn't he ever get lonely?
Or perhaps, in private, unknown to everyone, he's also like this man, with his own unspeakable secrets?
Distracted, Jiang Nan Fang got out of the car in a daze.
They walked towards the elevator at the end of the parking lot, talking as they went.
As they opened the elevator door and stepped inside, a pattering of footsteps approached from behind.
Jiang Nan Fang turned her head and saw Fang Yuan, who had been pulling and tugging with the man earlier, had somehow appeared behind them.
Pretending not to have heard or seen anything, she let them in. The three of them silently pressed the elevator buttons and ascended.
Ke Teng pressed 23, and Fang Yuan pressed 20.
After Fang Yuan left first, Ke Teng closed the door and spat, "Bad luck. This woman lives below you. If I'd known, I wouldn't have bought the house here."
Jiang Nan Fang then realized he had bought her a house here.
Her face fell. "Who asked you to buy me a house?"
Seeing her expression, Ke Teng quickly pleaded, "Don't misunderstand, it wasn't me, it was my father's idea."
"To ensure you work well at Ke Corporation, and more importantly, to win you over, he's already paid the money. So please don't refuse."
"Since you'll be working in Nan Cheng for a long time, staying in hotels every day isn't practical. You need a place to settle, so just make do with it."
"It's not a great place. If you don't like it, or get tired of it later, I'll get you another one."
Jiang Nan Fang was truly exasperated.
"I haven't contributed a single cent to your family yet, and I'm already receiving a house. This deal is too advantageous for me."
"I appreciate Mr. Ke's kindness, and I understand what it means, but it's really not necessary."
"Please convey to him that the house is rented from him on my behalf."
"As long as I work in Nan Cheng, I'll treat it as a rented apartment. But I don't want it."
"When I leave Nan Cheng in the future, it will still belong to the Ke family. This way, you'll be at ease, and I'll be at ease, alright?"
Ke Teng found this to be quite good.
Indeed, this was Jiang Nan Fang. Her considerations were always thorough and reliable.
He was increasingly satisfied with his future wife. "Alright, whatever you say."
Since Jiang Nan Fang refused to accept the house, there was no need for her to go through the signing procedures.
After a brief tour of the house, Jiang Nan Fang needed to return to work and prepared to bid farewell to Ke Teng.
Ke Teng asked what she was busy with.
"With no one to help and no workspace, what can you do alone?"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Nan Fang had a grand plan in mind.
"I heard that Zhan Corporation is preparing to bid for a major South-to-North Water Diversion project worth over 3 billion yuan from the State Grid. I want to win it for them."
"Therefore, the first step in my plan is to establish my own brand company and factory in Nan Cheng."
"This way, not only will the bid be legitimate, but the subsequent supply will also be secured."
This is incredible.
Starting from scratch, she's already planning to establish a brand to compete with Zhan Corporation. What kind of major events has this young woman experienced?
Ke Teng's admiration for her grew, almost to the point of prostration.
"Do you need my help? Don't do everything yourself. Leave me some opportunities to shine."
Jiang Nan Fang thought for a moment. "Perhaps I will need your help soon."
"When I was helping at Zhan Corporation, I heard them mention the first established electrical company in Nan Cheng."
"Due to insufficient technological innovation, it has been gradually phased out by the market in recent years and is barely hanging on."
"But their old foundation and machinery are still intact. I've already spoken to Mr. Ke and plan to acquire their company."
"This will save us a lot of trouble with factory space, worker training, and machine installation. Establishing a brand will be much more convenient."
"However, their boss is quite stubborn, and many people who tried to negotiate an acquisition were kicked out. I'll try first. If it doesn't work, you can help me."
Great minds think alike.
Just as Jiang Nan Fang thought of establishing a factory because of the State Grid's new project, Vice President Gao of Grey Electric also thought of expanding production.
To save trouble, acquiring competitors is a common choice, and he also intended to acquire Huatai Electric.
However, he had been turned away by Huatai's boss, Zhang Guodong, three times, and had no choice but to ask Zhan Bei Jue for help.
That morning, Zhan Bei Jue, dressed in a white shirt, black suit, and a long black coat, presented a professional and neat appearance.
He personally accompanied Vice President Gao and gifts to visit Mr. Zhang's home in an old alley.
However, after knocking on the door for ten minutes, no one responded.
Fearing that Zhan Bei Jue would be discouraged and give up, Vice President Gao comforted him.
"Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang three times before he agreed to come out of seclusion. Mr. Zhang has been arrogant his whole life; he's worth waiting for."
"Let's wait a bit longer. For the long-term benefit of the company, let's wait."
However, after half an hour, the door didn't open. Instead, a competitor arrived.
Jiang Nan Fang, similarly dressed in a white shirt, dark blue professional suit, and a dark blue long coat, arrived at the door with gifts.
Their eyes met.
Thinking Jiang Nan Fang was an assistant invited by Zhan Bei Jue, Vice President Gao smiled with delight.
"Nan Fang! Look at my memory, when I encounter a problem I can't solve, how could I forget you, the wise strategist!"
"I thought you weren't in Nan Cheng recently. President Zhan thinks very thoughtfully!"
"Come quickly! We've been waiting for almost an hour and the door hasn't opened. Hurry and use your charm."
"..."
What a coincidence.
Jiang Nan Fang hadn't expected Zhan Bei Jue to be interested in a mere obsolete factory.
And they chose to visit the owner on the same day.
To prevent him from discovering her plan too early, Jiang Nan Fang feigned ignorance.
"I was just visiting a friend and passing by here. Why are you two standing here instead of working?"
