Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 316 Whispering in someone's ear

Two days later, Monday.

Jiang Xing appeared at the science and technology innovation company summit wearing a semi-formal dress.

With many participants at the summit, Jiang Xing quickly spotted that familiar figure in the crowd—

Ying Kaian wore a dark blue suit with a dark red tie tied in a Windsor knot, and his hair was meticulously styled with hair gel. Tall, with long legs and good looks, he stood out among the group of entrepreneurs and investors, most of whom were in their thirties and forties.

Ying Kaian is very good at socializing and has already attracted several people. No one knows what he said, but the people around him kept nodding in agreement.

Hearing the whispered praises from those around him, Ying Kaian maintained a humble yet confident smile. However, Jiang Xing, who understood Ying Kaian, could see the smugness and self-satisfaction in his micro-expressions—the current situation was exactly as he had expected, and everything was going well.

"President Ying, it's been a long time!" Jiang Xing walked over and his voice suddenly rang out.

Several pairs of eyes turned to Jiang Xing at the same time.

One of the middle-aged men laughed first: "Oh, what's your name, beautiful lady?"

Ying Kaian was surprised to see Jiang Xing here. His expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked around. When he didn't see Lou Qi, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

“My surname is Jiang, and I have some private business to discuss with President Ying,” Jiang Xing said with a smile.

The middle-aged man gave a knowing, greasy smile: "Private matters? What's your relationship with President Ying? Why don't we talk about it when we get home tonight?"

Ying Kaian frowned. Ever since he was beaten up by Lou Qi last time, he had been unwilling to get involved with Jiang Xing in public.

Before he could explain, a young man next to him quickly tugged at the middle-aged man and whispered a reminder: "This is Mr. Lou's man!"

"What, Mr. Lou?" The middle-aged man wasn't very interested in gossip, and his information was severely outdated.

"Lou Qi!" the young man said urgently in a low voice, "I heard that Lou Qi attacked Ying Kaian at the banquet recently because of this Miss Jiang!"

They spoke softly, but everyone around them could hear them and looked at Jiang Xing and Ying Kaian in shock.

Jiang Xing, the person involved, neither refuted nor explained, thus tacitly accepting this statement.

Ying Kaian's smile vanished instantly, and she preemptively asked, "Jiang Xing, you don't have an invitation, do you? How did you get in?"

He then tried to call security to take Jiang Xing away.

Jiang Xing smiled slightly: "Naturally, it was given by Lou Qi."

The others exchanged glances: This woman is indeed closely related to Boss Lou; be careful she doesn't whisper in his ear!

"By the way, the personal matter I came to see President Ying about is to ask him to repay the money." Jiang Xing looked at Ying Kaian. "President Ying should have received the court summons by now, right? It's an amount of several million. I don't know if it's a lot or a little for you now."

Jiang Xing deliberately didn't specify the exact number; one million and nine million were both in the millions, leaving it entirely to others to speculate.

Sure enough, the expressions of the people around them changed.

For the company, a few million in cash is not a lot, but Ying Kaian is already involved in legal cases, which greatly reduces his appeal to investors. Moreover, this involves Lou Qi, a major capital leader, and they are unwilling to offend Lou Qi!

Several investors who had originally intended to invest in Ying Kaian immediately made up some excuse to say goodbye to Ying Kaian and went to contact other entrepreneurs.

"Hey, Mr. Wang!"

"Mr. Zhang, there's some misunderstanding here. Let me explain!"

"Mr. Cheng, that's not how it is!"

Ying Kaian's attempts to win back investors all ended in failure. Someone leaked the news, and for the next two hours, Ying Kaian was rejected by everyone he tried to speak to, as if he were a pathogen.

"Jiang Xing, what exactly do you want to do!" Ying Kaian walked back with a dark face.
