Chapter 1258: Clinging to Jiang Xue

Jiang Xue and Nangong Chen are both astute individuals, so they naturally noticed Shangguan Wenbin’s reluctance. Jiang Xue didn’t mind much, but Nangong Chen didn’t want to lose this opportunity.

After all, he wanted to get close to Jiang Xue, but couldn’t find a reason to do so. If the two companies collaborated, it would be more justified for him to interact with Jiang Xue in the future.

Therefore, he had to fight for the opportunity to collaborate with Jiang Xue’s company.

With this in mind, Nangong Chen looked at Shangguan Wenbin and said, "Mr. Shangguan, who would dislike having more money in this world? If your funds are more abundant, you could expand production and simultaneously develop other projects. Isn’t that great?"

Jiang Xue agreed with Nangong Chen’s words. However, she wouldn’t make a decision on this matter immediately. There were still things she needed to consider.

Hearing Nangong Chen’s words, Shangguan Wenbin’s gaze flickered. He certainly knew that Nangong Chen had a point. But Mu Qiancheng had told him to keep an eye on Jiang Xue so she wouldn’t be deceived or taken away in his absence.

He had seen Nangong Chen before, but at that time, his sister didn’t have a warm attitude towards him. However, now her attitude had changed. He wasn’t sure why Jiang Xue had changed her attitude towards Nangong Chen, but he could tell that Nangong Chen had intentions towards her.

Regarding a man with intentions towards his sister, Shangguan Wenbin felt it was better to be cautious.

So, he looked at Nangong Chen and said with a smile, "Mr. Nangong has a point, but for now we don’t plan on securing additional funding. Of course, Mr. Nangong’s sincerity is appreciated. If we need this in the future, we will inform Mr. Nangong right away."

Upon hearing Shangguan Wenbin’s words, Nangong Chen turned his gaze to Jiang Xue, looking aggrieved. However, Jiang Xue seemed to not notice his expression and smiled, saying, "Since Wenbin said so, let’s drop the matter. When our company needs it in the future, we’ll seek your collaboration."

With Jiang Xue saying this, Nangong Chen couldn’t say anything more. He had to change the topic with Jiang Xue. Shangguan Wenbin noticed that Nangong Chen didn’t seem to have any intention of leaving, which soured his expression. He exchanged a glance with Wang Jun, then left Jiang Xue’s office under the pretense of work.

Once outside Jiang Xue’s office, Shangguan Wenbin took out his phone, called Mu Qiancheng, and told him that Nangong Chen had come to South City and seemed to have intentions of overwhelming Jiang Xue.

Mu Qiancheng’s face immediately darkened upon hearing this. He instructed Shangguan Wenbin to keep an eye on things while he called a friend, asking them to create some troubles for Nangong Chen’s family or company.

At this time, Nangong Chen was completely unaware that someone was plotting against him. After Shangguan Wenbin and Wang Jun left, he chatted with Jiang Xue for a long time, seemingly unwilling to leave.

In the end, it was Jiang Xue who used her busy schedule as an excuse to send him away, and only then did he leave. But before leaving, Nangong Chen said to Jiang Xue, "Jiang Xue, let me treat you to dinner tonight."

However, Jiang Xue refused, saying, "No need, tonight I’m going home to eat with my son and family."

Rejected by Jiang Xue, Nangong Chen let out a bitter smile inwardly. He thought to himself, although Jiang Xue had become friends with him, she still remained very guarded.

It seemed that if he wanted to truly become a close confidant to Jiang Xue, it was going to be a long journey.
