Chapter 1372: Fooling Jiang Xue
"Mr. Jin, you need to understand that we’re here to talk business, not reminisce, aren’t we? If you’re still the same as yesterday, then I’m sorry, I don’t have time to waste with you."
"Sorry, I have something else to do, I’ll be leaving now." Jiang Xue said as she stood up.
Seeing Jiang Xue about to leave, Jin Hao instinctively reached out a hand to stop her.
As her hand was grabbed, Jiang Xue swiftly reacted, twisting his wrist forcefully and gripping one of Jin Hao’s fingers, ready to break it.
At that moment, Ah Lin saw Jiang Xue about to break Jin Hao’s finger and instinctively attacked Jiang Xue. Huo Cong, witnessing this, couldn’t let Ah Lin attack Jiang Xue and immediately intervened to stop him.
With that, the two quickly engaged each other. Meanwhile, Jin Hao, who had caused this incident, looked at Jiang Xue with a smile and said, "Miss Jiang, aren’t you being too sensitive? I merely wanted to keep you from leaving, with no intention of offense."
"Mr. Jin, I’m a bit of a germaphobe; I really dislike others laying hands on me." Jiang Xue coldly replied, though she did loosen her grip a bit without breaking his finger.
As she relaxed her hold, Jin Hao gently exerted some force and pulled his hand free, smiling at Jiang Xue and saying, "Apologies, I’ll be more careful next time."
After speaking, Jin Hao immediately turned to the engaged Ah Lin and said, "Ah Lin, stop!"
Upon hearing Jin Hao’s words, Ah Lin immediately stopped. Huo Cong also ceased, and the two returned to Jin Hao and Jiang Xue’s side.
As they just got back into position, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter brought the coffee Jin Hao had just ordered.
"Thank you!" Jin Hao thanked the waiter and gave him a small tip, indicating that he could leave.
Once the waiter left, Jin Hao pushed one of the cups of coffee toward Jiang Xue and said, "This coffee tastes pretty good, you should give it a try."
"Thank you, but I don’t like coffee," Jiang Xue said blandly, then picked up her ordered juice and sipped it lightly.
After taking a few sips of juice, Jiang Xue turned her gaze back to Jin Hao and said, "Mr. Jin, if you’re going to keep stalling, I will really not wait any longer."
Jin Hao, seeing Jiang Xue wasn’t just speaking but truly intending to leave, signaled for Ah Lin to bring out the materials.
Ah Lin retrieved the prepared materials from a tote bag, which was all in English. Jin Hao and Ah Lin thought Jiang Xue couldn’t understand, so a mocking glance flashed in their eyes.
Because what they’d brought wasn’t actually their company’s materials but an introduction to a small company in M Country.
Jiang Xue glanced at the materials, slightly narrowing her eyes. As an academic ace, how could she not understand English?
You see, during her school days, she always ranked first or second in every exam. As for English, whether written or spoken, she was quite good. Moreover, after leaving Mu Qiancheng in her past life, she had practiced hard to do business.
It was merely a piece of English material, she could understand it. She spent some time going through the entire document, her expression deepening as she finished, and her gaze at Jin Hao and Ah Lin turning cold.
"Is this really your company’s material?" Jiang Xue calmly asked. Before Jin Hao could speak, Ah Lin immediately said, "That’s right, this is our company’s material, sent over by the office early this morning. Why, does Miss Jiang think there’s a problem?"
