"We did invest in the movie."

"It was such a coincidence, who could have thought it would be such a hit!"

"Mr. Jack might not understand, but we don’t even have enough flyers to distribute, let alone shampoo."

"The production lines in the factory are smoking from working so hard; I just can’t stop them even if I wanted to."

Jiang Cheng was endlessly bragging, speaking in a humblebrag manner, trying hard to suppress his smile until he couldn’t hold it anymore.

"President Jiang, I get it, you don’t need to say anymore."

Jiang Cheng looked at Jack innocently.

"How can I not talk? We’re discussing cooperation, I have to be transparent about my situation, we have plenty of sincerity."

Jack: Borrowing a phrase from Hua Xia, I don’t believe a word you’re saying!

The conference room returned to silence, the moment of standard smiles.

No one wanted to speak first; everyone wanted more gains.

Jiang Cheng was completely unconcerned, he even had time to call Sun Aiguo in to ask him to prepare some dishes and bring them in.

"President Jiang, we don’t need any meals, what do you really want?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng finally got to the point.

"Mr. Jack, I want you to change the formula."

Jack was dumbfounded.

He was genuinely shocked.

What kind of request is this?

He thought Jiang Cheng would want the market, want profits, want something more, but did not expect this.

"President Jiang, I don’t understand what you mean."

Jiang Cheng waved his hand, Sun Aiguo presented each person present with a document.

Highlighted in the document were the ingredients of Jack’s shampoo.

Jack’s pupils contracted slightly; if this document were used in negotiations between him and Jiang Cheng, he might be defeated and have to retreat to M Country.

But Jiang Cheng didn’t use it.

Jack was bewildered.

"President Jiang, just say it straight, I really don’t get it."

Jiang Cheng smiled slightly and nodded.

"Jack, I want you to change the proportion of silicone oil and other chemicals in the shampoo to make it a healthier formula, don’t pretend you don’t have it, I know exactly what’s available within M."

"The formula here is different from what you use in M."

Jack understood but still couldn’t grasp what Jiang Cheng would gain from this.

"President Jiang, I’m curious, what do you get from doing this?"

Jiang Cheng candidly replied, "In terms of profit, nothing much, mentally... probably a sense of fulfillment."

"This is a higher spiritual pursuit that Mr. Jack might not understand."

Jiang Cheng dramatically looked at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle: It needed cleaning, a bit dusty.

After the dramatic act, Jiang Cheng looked at Jack and said:

"As long as you change the formula, I’ll let you keep the current market, and we’ll coexist peacefully."

Jiang Cheng finished speaking and waited for Jack’s response.

Jack had heard of Jiang Cheng’s exploits, knowing she did many "silly" things.

Although he couldn’t understand it, he admired her internally.

"President Jiang, what about Reck’s share in F Company?"

For his ally beside him, Jack spoke up; as long as the two of them stood together, they still stood a chance against Jiang Cheng.

That’s Jack’s confidence.

Jiang Cheng looked at the person next to Jack, suddenly showing a familiar smile.

"Reck? Not Simon?"

Simon, who was bowing his head all along, couldn’t hold back and raised his head, looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "Reck is my middle name."

The unexpected familiarity between the two made Jack stand up abruptly.

"You know each other!!!!!"

This question, full of anger and shock.

Jiang Cheng remained steady, leaning firmly on her chair, looking at Jack with eyes full of authority.

It was a look that said, "Your fate is in my hands."

That very look calmed Jack down.

He had no cards to play, no strength to protest.

"Ha ha... I lost completely, so completely."

"President Jiang, my respects!"

Jiang Cheng respectfully stood up, looking at Jack and said, "You’re a worthy opponent."

It was precisely because Jack was a respectful opponent that Jiang Cheng wanted to keep him in Hua Xia, not wipe him out.

She knew that even without Jack, there would be others.

It’s difficult to encounter a conscientious businessman.

Jiang Cheng’s affirmation made Jack smile relievedly, looking at Reck and asking, "Should I call you Simon or Reck?"

Simon indifferently replied, "Both are fine, whatever you like."

Next, the atmosphere became very harmonious.

Jack finally found out that Simon and Jiang Cheng had known each other for years and was sent by Jiang Cheng to F Country four years ago.

With financial support from Jiang Cheng, Simon, with a foreign face, broke into the cosmetics market in F Country.

From Jiang Cheng’s arrangement, Jack saw her ambition.

As everyone knows, F is the fashion capital, many big brands originated from there.

If a brand came from Hua Xia, no matter how good its products are, it is perceived as lower grade even on several levels in foreigners’ eyes.

But only if the product comes from F, even if it’s the most ordinary item, it will appear more high-end.

This reflects public perception issues; don’t try to change it, but you can find loopholes.

For example, Jiang Cheng went to F Country to start a company.

People enjoyed a pleasant conversation, and finally, Jiang Cheng invited several people to dinner.

Seeing the prepared dishes, Jack admired Jiang Cheng again.

Even the timing they agreed on was calculated, impressive!

What a skill!

He couldn’t deny his admiration.

During the meal, everyone toasted and exchanged drinks.

The party only ended at ten o’clock at night.

With a red face and wandering eyes, Jack looked at Jiang Cheng and said, "President Jiang, your alcohol tolerance is also this good?"

Jiang Cheng smiled calmly, looking at Simon.

"You better ask Mr. Simon about this."

Jack curiously looked at Simon and asked, "There’s a story in this?"

Simon helplessly replied, "Back then, I relied on my good drinking capacity to drink with her, and ended up working for her."

Hearing this, Jack laughed heartily, saying Simon lost fairly.

Jack was arranged by Jiang Cheng to be sent away first, with Simon following behind.

When there were only the two of them left, Jiang Cheng reached out her hand.

"Welcome back, and thank you."

Simon shook Jiang Cheng’s hand and said, "Without you, I might not have made it in M Country."

Jiang Cheng shook her head.

"That’s different, at that time you returned after we made a deal, but going to F, I know you wanted to help me."

The two looked at each other, cherishing each other’s company.

"Where are you staying? Hotel or house? Your house is prepared."

Simon thought for a moment and said, "Today the hotel, tomorrow we’ll look at the house."

"Alright, tomorrow I’ll fetch you from the hotel, and show you our newly renovated boutique store, it’s waiting for you, the big brand, to settle in."

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Great! I think tomorrow morning, Jack would want to cry when he learns what you’ve done."

Jiang Cheng nonchalantly said, "It’s okay, after crying, he’ll bring a good product over and beg to move in."

Simon admired Jiang Cheng; this woman really leaves nothing to chance.

"Jiang Cheng, I feel sorry for your enemies."
