Chapter 273: Chapter 190: Visiting the Father-in-law and Mother-in-law?! Beginning the Conquest

"Shiting, did you need me for something?" Jiang Sifan asked with a smile as he walked up to Liu Shiting.

Liu Shiting took out a contact list. "These are the contact numbers for all the shops in my neighborhood," she said. "I don’t know if they need bookkeeping and tax filing services like yours, but I gathered their information so you can call them one by one to find out."

Jiang Sifan was stunned to hear this.

He looked at the contact list—there were over twenty numbers on it.

Even if he only managed to convert 30% of them, it would still be a considerable source of income.

Jiang Sifan quickly thanked her. "Thank you, Shiting. This list is incredibly important to me. If my business manages to grow, a huge part of the credit will go to you."

Liu Shiting laughed. "You’re being too kind. When I asked you about starting a business before, you were so patient with your answers. I think it’s important to return a favor. Besides, who knows if this list will even be useful? I have no idea if these shop owners will be interested in your services."

"Whether it’s useful or not, I have to thank you properly for the thought. I’ll treat you to a meal when you’re free," Jiang Sifan replied.

Liu Shiting ventured, "Well, why put it off? No time like the present. As it happens, I’m free today~"

"Umm..." Jiang Sifan was a little embarrassed. "Uh... Shiting, I’m sorry, but I just promised my partner I’d have a meal with her. How about I introduce you two?"

"Haha, was it that girl from just now? I thought she was gorgeous. You’re lucky to have a partner like her." Liu Shiting, of course, showed no sign of jealousy.

On the contrary, she had to appear graceful and magnanimous.

That would make Jiang Sifan think more highly of her.

Jiang Sifan smiled sheepishly. "Yeah, it was her. She’s helped me out a lot with this startup, which is why I said I’d treat her to a meal."

"Then you go ahead and treat her first. You can treat me some other time when you’re free~" Liu Shiting smiled. "You can’t treat two girls to the same meal, you know. Otherwise, they’ll both get upset."

"Okay. I’m sorry, Shiting." Jiang Sifan hadn’t expected Liu Shiting to be so gracious.

But considering the impression she had given him before, it made sense. Both her way of speaking and her expressions fit the image of a well-bred girl who had been raised in wealth.

Liu Shiting waved. "Well, I’ll be going then."

"Alright. Drive safe."

"Okay~"

And with that, Liu Shiting drove away.

Watching the BMW drive off, Jiang Sifan would be lying if he said he wasn’t the least bit envious.

Still, he believed that one day, he too would be able to drive a luxury car like that.

He then walked to the school gate, looking for Wen Wan.

At that moment, Wen Wan was sitting alone in the restaurant, staring into space.

She couldn’t get the image of the other girl out of her head.

A woman’s sixth sense is scarily accurate.

She could clearly sense that the other girl must like Jiang Sifan.

’I don’t know what year she is,’ she thought, ’but to be driving a BMW at such a young age, her family must be very well-off.’

The thought made Wen Wan increasingly sad.

She wondered if Jiang Sifan had gone off with her.

’Did he forget that we were supposed to eat together?’

Just then, she felt a light tap on her head.

Jiang Sifan stood before her, smiling apologetically. "Sorry, Wen Wan, I’m late."

Seeing Jiang Sifan, Wen Wan’s mood instantly brightened.

She asked tentatively, "Are you two done talking?"

"Mhm! Wen Wan, our business is really going to take off this time!" Jiang Sifan took out the contact list and placed it in front of her. "My sister’s roommate gave me the contact information for all the shops in her neighborhood. We’ve been racking our brains these past couple of days, trying to figure out how to drum up new business, and then this just falls into our lap."

Wen Wan looked at the list, her heart filled with happiness as well.

"We really have to thank her properly," she replied.

"Yeah. Never mind what the final success rate will be. At the very least, it gives us a hope of expanding our business!" Jiang Sifan said with a smile.

"Mhm!" Wen Wan was happy to see him suddenly so fired up.

Jiang Sifan started to get playful. "My dear partner, order whatever you like. This gentleman is paying~"

Wen Wan giggled, then said with a smile, "In that case, can I add a fried egg today?"

"Get two eggs! From now on, you’ll eat two eggs. You can have my eggs, too!"

...

「Meanwhile.」

「Yangcheng.」

The afternoon sun slanted into the flower shop, where Jiang Yixia was arranging a new shipment of roses.

She held a pair of shears, trimming the stems one by one with skilled, meticulous movements.

The wind chime on the door tinkled.

Jiang Yixia looked up. It was Lu Fan.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Yixia asked calmly, her hands never pausing their work.

Lu Fan walked into the shop, smiling. "I just came from the manor. I wanted to talk to you about Silu."

Jiang Yixia hummed in acknowledgment and continued to snip at the flowers.

Lu Fan took a turn around the shop, admiring the neatly arranged bouquets. "This place of yours is really starting to look impressive," he remarked.

Jiang Yixia didn’t respond.

Lu Fan didn’t seem to mind and continued on his own, "Silu had a good time at the manor yesterday. I took her to see the lake, and she took a ton of photos. For dinner, I had the chef make steak. She ate two huge pieces."

The shears in Jiang Yixia’s hand paused for a moment before she resumed trimming the flowers.
