The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Chapter 420 Information Dealer
The morning breeze blew, blowing up the tie on Chen Yuan's shirt. The weather was not sunny on the new day. Instead, the sky was gloomy like a gray canvas.

There is a smell of earth in the air.

"We are leaving early now and should be in Tokyo by evening. Don't worry, I will take care of things here. You just need to bring Jiang Yao back safely."

Jiang Ning stood at the door of the villa, wearing a pair of slippers and her body wrapped in a brown-gray coat.

She wore no makeup, her face was plain, and her uncombed hair was messy and untidy.

Chen Yuan spent more than ten minutes in the morning to get dressed, wearing a shirt and trousers. It is worth mentioning that his tie was tied by Jiang Ning herself.

A sudden phone call forced Chen Yuan to leave the warm and nostalgic bed, get up quickly and pack up to go to Tokyo.

The schedule was changed and there was no way around the short separation.

"Hmm..." Chen Yuan touched his nose and reminded: "Don't forget to think about what I told you yesterday. When you have thought it through, remember to send me a message. I will take a look at it at any time."

"I understand." Jiang Ning nodded.

She naturally knew what Chen Yuan was talking about.

Regarding the huge amount of compensation required for the company's bankruptcy, Chen Yuan stated that he could raise the money instead of asking Jiang Ning to borrow it from him.

In his opinion, this is certainly the best solution.

But Jiang Ning felt that spending his money was no better than borrowing it humbly.

The same torture is endured in the heart.

She sincerely understood Chen Yuan's good intentions, but Jiang Ning would never consider going in this direction until there was room for maneuver.

"Why don't you just not go today? If you agree now, I can ask Monana to come and help you transfer the funds." Chen Yuan's eyes lit up and he asked expectantly, "How about it?"

"Forget it, Chenzi, you should leave," Jiang Ning adjusted her hair and looked at Chen Yuan's eyes which quickly turned disappointed. "If I really need you, I will definitely send you a message. Just relax."

"Ok."

Seeing her firm attitude, Chen Yuan did not insist any longer, but turned around and got into the car.

He waved his hand, closed the car window, and drove off.

Watching the car turn out of the corner of the garden and disappear at the intersection, Jiang Ning stood there for a long time without moving. When the wind blew over, she shook her shoulders, probably because she was a little cold.

Behind her, at the door, the nanny came out holding a piece of water pipe.

"Mr. Chen is gone?"

"I'm leaving, but I should be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to pick up my sister."

"Miss Second also knows Mr. Chen?" The nanny was a little surprised.

"Of course, we met each other in Lanjing," Jiang Ning smiled, "It's been quite a while."

"Mr. Chen is a nice guy," Aunt Liu looked in the direction where the car disappeared. She had actually been standing not far from the yard, waiting for the right moment to come out. "He is not only young and promising, but also very kind. There are not many young and polite guys like him... Early this morning, he was very polite to the aunts at home. He treated us like his elders."

Faced with the compliments, Jiang Ning smiled without saying anything. She also felt honored that Chen Yuan was recognized.

"The eldest lady is indeed at the age to get married. You have high standards, and this man is a good candidate among thousands. After the wife's affairs are resolved, it is almost time to talk about marriage, right?"

"Don't look at me for this one, look at him." Jiang Ning shrugged.

"That's right. After all, Mr. Chen is young, so Miss must hold on to his heart. Maybe next year we old guys will be able to see you get married with our own eyes."

"If that day really comes, I'm sure you won't have such a good impression of him."

Speaking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh.

She shook her head and went home.

Only the nanny Aunt Liu was left standing there in a daze, not understanding what she meant at all.

"What nonsense are you talking about, miss? Shouldn't such a day be a happy event?" Aunt Liu murmured in confusion.

……

A black car was driving slowly on the road.

It's rush hour in the morning and the roads are congested.

It had been more than half an hour since they drove out of the Jiang family villa. Chen Yuan looked down at the time on his watch and suddenly spoke.

"Turn towards the Economic and Trade Building, the parking lot of the Lis Hotel." He said lightly.

"Director Jiang, aren't we going to the airport? The scheduled departure time is 9:30, and there is only half an hour left. If we go to the Leith Hotel, we won't be able to come back in time."

"Please postpone your trip to Tokyo. I have something to meet with Director Ji."

"Okay, I understand."

The driver nodded in confusion, then turned on the turn signal at the nearest U-turn intersection and stepped on the accelerator, heading in the completely opposite direction of the airport.

Chen Yuan, who was sitting in the back seat, picked up his phone and opened the text message page, his brows slowly furrowed.

He sent Ji Hai away yesterday and asked him to contact Jiang's personnel in Mingzhu City. After expressing his intention, he asked the other party to help investigate whether Mr. Qi, who intended to acquire the building, had any connection with Jiang Ruxue's matter.

Unexpectedly, Ji Hai called him early in the morning and said that there was something important to discuss and asked him not to go to Tokyo for the time being.

Chen Yuan had originally promised Jiang Yao to pick her up.

He stood up the show halfway.

This is no small matter.

Ji Hai is a sensible person who shares Chen Yuan's worries in everything. With his cautious and alert personality, he would not have mobilized such a large force if he had not encountered a major issue that he was unsure of.

So, Chen Yuan lied to Jiang Ning and left the Jiang family early.

Now he was taking a car to the address sent by Ji Hai. Jiang Yao had not even contacted him and was still waiting for him in faraway Tokyo.

Chen Yuan is now confused and doesn't know what has happened. He is afraid that he will only know after meeting Ji Hai.

……

We traveled non-stop along the way.

It was pitch black in the underground parking lot of the Leith Hotel, with only a few lights near the walls.

If the car hadn't turned on the headlights, it would have been impossible to find the corner. The driver drove past a fork in the road, and the figure of Ji Hai vaguely appeared in front of him. He waved at Chen Yuan.

"New news," Ji Hai opened the car door and got into the back seat, whispering, "I haven't found out whether the man surnamed Qi has any connection with this matter, but someone knocked on the door of the Leith Hotel last night and handed over a business card."

Chen Yuan stared at the square piece of white paper that Ji Hai handed over, on which was written a name and contact information.

and a column of numbers.

"What do you mean?"

"The number above happens to be the price that Secretary Jiang's uncle Jiang Ruzheng offered to President Qi the day before yesterday."

After saying this, Chen Yuan frowned again.

"I called the contact number above, but an old lady answered the phone. I led people to her home in the middle of the night, but found nothing. Instead, I saw this when I left," Ji Hai said, taking out a plastic bag and opening it to find a calendar card. "There are a few numbers marked on this brand new calendar card. If translated into an address, it happens to be Building 2 of the Lis Hotel in Mingzhu City... There is a photo inside the calendar."

The two took out the photo and looked at it.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because the photo showed him and Jiang Ning wearing masks in a coffee shop, and it was secretly photographed by someone.

"Someone wants to see me?" After thinking carefully for a moment, Chen Yuan came to this answer.

"You've gone through so much trouble, probably because you want to see you, Mr. Jiang."

"Take a picture of me," Chen Yuan shrugged and lowered his eyelids. "Not many people know about my relationship with Jiang Ning. With the protection of Jiang's people, he was able to take this picture, which is considered to be a skill."

"A risky move must have a big reason behind it. Do you want to go?"

"go."

As he spoke, Chen Yuan pushed open the car door with a click, and walked towards the elevator in the underground garage with Ji Hai.

……

"Boom!"

"Dong dong dong"

After a few knocks on the door, Chen Yuan folded his arms and waited against the corner of the door frame.

He had already made up his mind.

It would be best if the person who passed the note had something important enough to discuss with him. Otherwise, Chen Yuan would not let this person go just based on the fact that he secretly took photos of Jiang Ning and him.

He didn't care about any business means, nor did he care about how others treated him, but once it came to Jiang Ning, Chen Yuan felt very uncomfortable.

There is a feeling of being offended.

No matter what it is about.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan and Ji Hai could clearly feel the peephole at the door of the suite go dark, and after more than ten seconds, the door opened.

"Director Jiang, Director Ji, I'm really sorry to have to bring you to such a remote hotel to meet. This is the only solution."

When the door opened, they saw a lean, middle-aged man.

This man had sparse hair, sunken eye sockets, and was only about 1.6 meters tall. Chen Yuan was a whole head taller than him.

Chen Yuan and Ji Hai looked at each other, walked in, looked around, and sat down on the sofa.

"If you have anything to say to me, please tell me now. I have been delayed in my work because of this trip."

in front of outsiders.

Chen Yuan was serious, responded indifferently, and had a stern face.

This is a little personal experience he has gained since entering the business world, because as a person in a higher position, he must have a good grasp of his attitude towards people and things, otherwise it is easy for his subordinates to feel that he is young and easy to deceive.

Seeing his expression, the man indeed became more reserved.

"I'm sorry, Director Jiang, I'm sorry for interrupting your work... Let me introduce myself. My name is Xiaomao. I heard that Director Ji has been asking about the Mei Ruxue Company recently. I just happened to have some good news, so I came here to share it with you."

"Information dealer?" Ji Hai sneered.

He glanced at the man who called himself "Little Hat" and lowered his voice to tell Chen Yuan: "The flies in the business world are also called information dealers. They are involved in a wide range of matters, with a large number of people, and they form organizations and institutions. They are a group of busybodies who are afraid that the world will not be in chaos."

"Why did you take pictures of me and my secretary?" Chen Yuan asked with a sullen face after hearing this: "Destroy it immediately, or you won't have to stay in Mingzhu City anymore. You should know my identity."

"Oh, of course I know, Mr. Jiang. I deleted and shredded the negatives a long time ago, leaving no trace. If a small person like me wants to see you, wouldn't I have to resort to this desperate measure? But I guarantee you," Xiaomao said seriously, "This information will definitely be useful to you."

"If it's useful, why don't you just tell me? What are you wasting time on?"

"Um... this, we also spent a lot of effort to find this information, of course... it's not free."

Chen Yuan was puzzled for a moment and raised his eyebrows.

"So you want me to pay first?"

"Don't worry, I'll give you the money and the information. Since this is our first cooperation, I'll give you an appetizer first."

The short man quickly took out a piece of paper and placed it on the coffee table.

Chen Yuan and Ji Hai lowered their eyebrows and looked at it for a moment, and found that the names on the list were exactly the list of commercial spies within Meiruxue Company that Ji Hai investigated yesterday.

Moreover, the identity and position are very detailed and are presented in a tabular format.

There are even photos, but they are printed in black and white.

Even though Chen Yuan had already seen the list, he looked up to the thin man in front of him because he was able to obtain such confidential information.

"Talk about the price."

"Ten thousand yuan." The man stretched out a number.

This number was not considered high, and Chen Yuan immediately had the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"Beautiful coins." The thin man added three more coins, revealing the smoked big yellow duck.

"You want 10,000 beautiful coins for a piece of information? You really dare to ask!" Ji Hai stood up and slammed the table.
