Chapter 243: What was Chapter 243?

In the cafe near the school, the heater was warm and dry. Xu Wanwan stirred the coffee in front of her and said calmly, “Director Yang, is there anything else you want to know about our cooperation?”

Just now, she had roughly explained the intention of starting the company and the main direction of investment under Yang Jiacheng’s request.

After Yang Jiacheng heard it, he thought for a moment and nodded. “I understand everything about the cooperation, but there’s one more thing –”

He paused. “Miss Xu, if you don’t mind, Can I ask you a personal question?”

Xu Wanwan was stunned. “Please Ask.”

“I heard that you have a deep relationship with the president of the Li Corporation. I want to know if director Li knows anything about our cooperation?”Yang Jiacheng asked cautiously.

He was also very curious as to why Xu Wanwan was so close to Li Jingran and had to go out to find other investors.

Xu Wanwan was startled and explained, “To tell you the truth, director Li is indeed aware of this matter. I know what you’re worried about.”

“Don’t worry. Director Li will not interfere in our cooperation.”

She knew that the outside world was afraid of Li Jingran’s strength and was even more afraid of offending the Li Corporation. Therefore, the price they had to pay was too heavy.

If Yang Jiacheng cooperated with him and offended Li Jingran instead, it would not be worth it in itself.

“If that’s the case, then I have nothing to worry about.”Yang Jiacheng was finally relieved.

The two of them chatted for a while, and then the topic came back to the topic.

Yang Jiacheng still felt very puzzled. “Miss Xu, based on your relationship with director Li, you shouldn’t have to trouble yourself to find another investor. The benefits that the Li Corporation can bring to you far exceed mine.”

“It’s like this. Although I have some relationship with director Li, it’s not like what the Internet says.”Xu Wanwan sighed in her heart. Although she was very helpless, she still patiently explained, “Director Li and I are not going to get married. I don’t want to rely on him for everything.”

“The company that I want to set up is my personal matter no matter what. It has nothing to do with him.”

When Xu Wanwan said this, the corner of her mouth revealed a generous and honest smile. Yang Jiacheng was slightly stunned.

There were too few independent and thoughtful women like her nowadays.

“I can see that Miss Xu is very opinionated. I believe that you will definitely be able to complete the management of the company. If you need any help in the early stages, feel free to look for me.”

“It just so happens that I still have an office building over there. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well let you use it. It’s very close to a university. It’s also convenient for you to go to school.”

Xu Wanwan was worried that she wouldn’t be able to find a suitable place, but now that she saw hope, her eyes instantly lit up. “Really?”

“Of course.”Yang Jiacheng directly took out a contract from his bag. “Take the venue as my investment for you. When your company develops in the later stages, we’ll talk about the dividend.”

Xu Wanwan took the contract and looked at it carefully. She was faintly excited.

However, she still decisively rejected Yang Jiacheng’s good intentions. “Director Yang, since it’s an investment, there must be a return. I’ll make a new contract with the percentage of dividends written on it.”

Yang Jiacheng saw that her gaze was so determined, so he did not say anything more.

Just as Xu Wanwan was about to put away the contract, her phone that was placed aside suddenly rang.

She put down the contract and opened the phone. When she saw the name of the caller, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

Why did Li Jingran call her at this time?

“Sorry, excuse me for a moment.”

Xu Wanwan got up and walked to the side to answer the phone.

She looked ahead and picked up the phone.

Snowflakes were falling outside the French window, and the window was covered in layers of fog.

After a pause, the man’s familiar voice came from the other end of the phone —

“Where?”

Xu Wanwan couldn’t help but frown and said casually, “I’m wandering around the school. I’ll be back soon.”

Li Jingran didn’t go to school today, so he shouldn’t have noticed anything wrong, right?

While she was thinking about this, the man’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone. “Xu Wanwan, I’m at the Gate of Your School.”

“You… you went to pick me up from school?”She stuttered for a moment and could not help but tighten her grip on the phone. “Well, I still have something to do. I’ll go back later.”

Li Jingran’s voice became colder. “Give me the address.”

Through the screen, Xu Wanwan could already imagine the man’s cold expression.

She had no choice but to send the location of the coffee shop to Li Jingran. After she returned to her seat, she looked at Yang Jiacheng and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I still have something to do later. Can I leave first?”

“Okay, then let’s meet again next time.”Yang Jiacheng also stood up and walked out.

Xu Wanwan quickly carried her bag and walked out of the coffee shop. She stood by the roadside and waited for Li Jingran’s arrival.

She didn’t feel cold in the room just now, but now that she came out, she was greeted by a cold wind. The little bit of warmth that she had gathered with great difficulty in her body also dissipated.

Yang Jiacheng stood not far away and looked at the girl in the snowstorm. He frowned slightly.

He walked forward and took out an unopened scarf from the car.

“Miss Xu, this is for you.”

Xu Wanwan turned around in surprise and saw the scarf in Yang Jiacheng’s hand. She immediately waved her hand and refused, “There’s no need.”

“Take it. The weather is cold. Take care to keep warm.”Yang Jiacheng did not wait for her to refuse any further and directly stuffed the scarf into her hand.

Xu Wanwan wanted to refuse, but she saw that the man had already left in large strides.

She stood in place with the scarf in her hand. Although she did not wear it around her neck, she felt a kind of warmth.

Within a few minutes, the Li family’s car slowly drove over and stopped in front of her.

Xu Wanwan ran over in a few steps, opened the car door, and sat in it.

The snowstorm was isolated outside, and the temperature in the car was deliberately set to the highest, making it very warm.

Xu Wanwan subconsciously rubbed her hands and put the scarf on her lap. She looked sideways at Li Jingran beside her and smiled faintly. “I’m sorry. I thought you weren’t coming to pick me up today.”

“What’s that in Your Hand?”

From the moment he got in the car, Li Jingran noticed the scarf in Xu Wanwan’s hand.

The gray stripes were obviously male.

Xu Wanwan looked down at the scarf. After a few seconds of silence, she explained, “This was given to me by a friend.”

Li Jingran’s thin lips curled into a faint sneer. He glanced at the male scarf on the girl’s leg and said unhappily, “Your Friend is a man?”

Xu Wanwan nodded. “Yes.”

Before she realized what was wrong, the man next to her looked even gloomier.

The road was slippery in the snow, and the car was moving very slowly.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly fell silent, and Li Jingran did not say anything for a long time.

Xu Wanwan did not have the intention to explain. She looked at the snow outside the window without blinking, and she was in a good mood.

When she thought about the company starting soon, she felt very satisfied and fulfilled.

At the traffic light, the car stopped again.
