If stabbed, Jiang Yi would surely die.
Fortunately, Jiang Yi had been awakened by the sound of the door opening just then, otherwise he might have truly fallen into this woman's hands.
Just as Jiang Yi was preparing to act, a sound of an object whizzing through the air suddenly echoed in the room.
Immediately after, the female assassin let out a scream and her body fell directly onto Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi pushed the female assassin away and saw that she had stopped breathing, struck in the temple by a silver needle.
“I didn’t expect you were already awake, making me worry for nothing!”
A clear voice sounded at the doorway, filled with concern and helplessness.
Jiang Yi looked up and saw that it was Ning Yan.
Seeing Ning Yan again, Jiang Yi felt very happy.
He had originally thought she had already left, but to his surprise, she had rushed back at his most dangerous moment.
Just as Jiang Yi thought she was about to leave again, Ning Yan suddenly spoke.
“I’m not leaving. You’re too much of a worry! You knew someone was coming to kill you, yet you had no sense of vigilance, sleeping so soundly!”
“If there was no one around to protect you, I’d be truly worried something might happen to you!”
“You’re not leaving? That’s great!”
Jiang Yi was very excited.
“Don’t get happy too soon, I only said I’m not leaving for now!”
“Gu Tianchuan is a very cunning person. No one he targets has had a good outcome. I’m worried you can’t defeat him, so I plan to stay. I’ll leave after I help you deal with Gu Tianchuan!”
“The female assassin just now was sent by Gu Tianchuan! Gu Tianchuan keeps many such female assassins!”
Ning Yan said.
Jiang Yi felt a bit disappointed upon hearing that Ning Yan was only staying temporarily.
However, Jiang Yi was not worried; he believed there would be ways to make Ning Yan stay in the future.
As long as Ning Yan didn't leave abruptly without a word, it would be manageable.
“Are you plotting something again?”
Ning Yan suddenly asked.
“I’m just happy to hear you’re staying!”
Jiang Yi replied.
“I also want to stay and accompany you, to take care of you, but I can’t control myself.”
After speaking, Ning Yan took a deep breath.
“Alright, let’s not talk too much. It’s getting late. You should rest early. I’ll book a room next door to yours. Goodnight!”
Then, Ning Yan turned and left the room.
The next morning, after Jiang Yi got up and quickly washed up, he knocked on Ning Yan's door next door.
Soon, the door opened, and Jiang Yi walked in.
Ning Yan was already dressed and appeared to have woken up very early!
“Eat up!”
Ning Yan gestured to the breakfast on the table and said to Jiang Yi, “I knew you’d come find me, so I asked the hotel staff to prepare two servings of breakfast. I know you love fried dough sticks and soy milk the most.”
Jiang Yi looked at the table and saw that there were indeed two servings of fried dough sticks and soy milk.
These were indeed his favorites, but what Jiang Yi didn't expect was that after so many years, she still remembered them so clearly, which warmed his heart.
“Don’t just stand there, eat quickly!”
Ning Yan said.
Hearing Ning Yan’s voice, Jiang Yi finally came to his senses and began to eat breakfast.
“When do you plan to return to Ximeng Prefecture?”
Ning Yan asked while eating breakfast.
“After the Jerusalem Artichoke Conference is over, I’ll head back!”
Jiang Yi replied. “You should come with me later. I might not be able to manage it alone, you’ll have to help me!”
“Mhm.”
Ning Yan nodded.
After finishing breakfast, Jiang Yi and Ning Yan left the room and went down to the lobby.
As soon as they reached the lobby, they saw Ma Lantuo sitting on the sofa.
Judging by his appearance, he had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Jiang Yi arrive, Ma Lantuo quickly stood up from the sofa, a helpless smile on his face.
“Mr. Jiang, I am truly sorry, I was unable to invite the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture!”
“I spoke with the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture personally. He said he had no interest in participating in such a small-scale meeting and was unwilling to get involved in the hassle.”
“The Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture simply does not believe that Jerusalem Artichokes alone can drive the economy of Dongmeng Prefecture, and even thinks such matters are meaningless. I explained for a long time, but he simply wouldn’t listen!”
“To be honest, the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture has too little foresight!”
Ma Lantuo sighed.
“It’s alright, the Jerusalem Artichoke Conference can still be a complete success even without the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture’s participation.”
“The purpose of this Jerusalem Artichoke Conference is to promote our business plan and find more cooperative companies.”
“So, whether he comes or not is irrelevant.”
Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
Jiang Yi didn't care at all about the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture.
It was possible that in the future, after the Jerusalem Artichoke plan was successfully completed and the pharmaceutical companies and farmers of the four prefectures made a lot of money, the Grand Lord of Dongmeng Prefecture might come asking for cooperation.
Seeing that Jiang Yi was not angry, Ma Lantuo was finally relieved.
“By the way, where is the venue for the Jerusalem Artichoke Conference?”
Jiang Yi asked.
“It’s at the Central Plaza!”
Ma Lantuo replied, “I originally intended to hold the event at this hotel, but I was worried that if too many people showed up, the hotel wouldn't be able to accommodate them all.”
“There shouldn’t be too many people.”
“This hotel is not small either; it should be able to accommodate several hundred people without any problem!”
Jiang Yi said.
“Mr. Jiang, there will be far more than just a few hundred people attending the Jerusalem Artichoke Conference. Last night, my office phone was nearly blown up!”
“I had my secretary count, and over three thousand people applied to attend the Jerusalem Artichoke Conference.”
“In addition, there are also elites from the medical industry, and these people haven’t even been counted yet!”
“In short, today’s Jerusalem Artichoke Conference will definitely be a sea of people!”
Ma Lantuo grinned.
“How can there be so many people?”
Jiang Yi couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s quite normal for so many people to come. Tiansheng Group is well-known in the pharmaceutical industry of Dongmeng Prefecture. Everyone knows that following Tiansheng Group guarantees making a lot of money!”
“With such a good opportunity, naturally, many people will rush to participate, hoping to have a chance to cooperate with Tiansheng Group!”
“Not only people from Dongmeng Prefecture, but also from Nanmeng Prefecture, Beimeng Prefecture, and Ximeng Prefecture will be attending!”
Ma Lantuo said.
Jiang Yi smiled slightly upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected that a small Jerusalem Artichoke Conference would attract so many people.
If this Jerusalem Artichoke Conference were successful, the power of Tiansheng Group would undergo a tremendous change.
At that time, all four prefectures would welcome the presence of Tiansheng Group.
Tiansheng Group would have the rudiments of a commercial empire in Yingguo.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yi felt a surge of excitement.
After being in Yingguo for so long, he was finally achieving something!
Jiang Yi had been waiting for this day for a long time.
