chapter 6 Go to the hotel to talk

Early the next morning, Ellison Jiang received a call from Camellia Tang. "Darling, I've contacted my high school classmate, and she's willing to help me. She also set up a meeting with Qian Jun Group's Chairman, Mr. Luby Ye. Where are you? We should head to Qian Jun Group now and secure the order. Once we do that, my grandfather will acknowledge you," Camellia Tang's voice sounded slightly excited over the phone. "I'm on my way to pick you up," Ellison Jiang replied. After hanging up, he quickly got out of bed, freshened up, and headed out. "Brother Jiang, where are we going?" Lucas was already waiting by the car. "To Camellia's house." "Brother Jiang, please get in the car." Ellison Jiang got into an unlicensed business car, and Lucas drove them swiftly to Camellia Tang's house. He waited outside her residential complex. Soon, Camellia Tang emerged. Today, they were meeting the Chairman of Qian Jun Group, so she had dressed up carefully. She wore a beautiful, form-fitting dress, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, giving her a charming and lively appearance. "Honey," she called out when she spotted Ellison Jiang standing in front of the black business car. She hurried over, her face filled with excitement. "My friend has done me a big favor. She's already arranged everything. Let's head straight to Qian Jun Group." Ellison Jiang smiled faintly. He knew that it wasn't her friend who had set up the meeting with Chairman Luby Ye. If he hadn't arranged it himself, Chairman Ye would never have received Camellia Tang. However, seeing Camellia Tang so excited, he decided not to dampen her spirits. Instead, he praised her, "I knew it. My wife is amazing. I'm relying on you this time. If we can't secure this order, I might be swept aside." Camellia Tang's lips curled up, forming a wonderful smile. "Don't worry, I won't let you down." She didn't know Ellison Jiang's true identity, but she had been to his luxurious mansion. It was the most extravagant Imperial Residence in all of Jiang Zhong, worth a fortune. Anyone who could live in such a villa couldn't be an ordinary person. She felt that she had accumulated good karma in her past life to meet such an excellent man. In front of Ellison Jiang, she wanted to show that she was no longer the same Camellia Tang she used to be. Despite being looked down upon for many years, she hadn't neglected her education. She had learned a lot. "Honey, get in the car," Ellison Jiang said. Camellia Tang got into the car, and after she was seated, Ellison Jiang instructed, "Lucas, let's go to Qian Jun Group." Nestled in Ellison Jiang's arms, Camellia Tang remembered the events of the previous night and couldn't help but ask, "Honey, do you know what happened last night? The patriarch of the Xiao family, Midas Xiao, the head of one of the four major families, was killed." The Xiao family was the foremost among the four major families in Jiang Zhong, and Midas Xiao, its patriarch, was one of the city's most prominent figures. The dinner party at the Xiao family's mansion last night had two main reasons. Firstly, it was to celebrate the signing of a long-term agreement between the Xiao family's Trachinoid Group and the Qian Jun Group. This agreement meant that the Qian Jun Group would give priority to the Trachinoid Group in the future, which would strengthen the Xiao family's influence even further. Secondly, the gathering was also to celebrate the 80th birthday of Midas Xiao, the head of the Xiao family. However, during the event, a mysterious person had infiltrated, delivering a coffin and killing Midas Xiao, beheading him. This shocking incident created a major uproar in Jiang Zhong. Government authorities had already launched an investigation, but there hadn't been any substantial developments yet. Camellia Tang asked about it, and Ellison Jiang pretended to be surprised, saying, "I went to sleep as soon as I got back yesterday. I have no idea what happened. Is the Xiao family the one among the four major families in Jiang Zhong?" "That's right," Camellia Tang confirmed. "The Xiao family is the top family among the four major families, with countless industries under their banner. Just the Trachinoid Group, a subsidiary of the Xiao family, is much stronger than all of the Tang family's businesses combined. And that's not all the Xiao family owns." Camellia Tang's face held a hint of envy. "Among all the women in Jiang Zhong, they would go to great lengths to marry into the Xiao family and become the mistress of a wealthy family." Ellison Jiang suppressed a smile and said, "You had a chance yesterday, you know. If you divorced me, you might have had the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family." "Ha," Camellia Tang scoffed. "What's so great about marrying into a wealthy family? In the past decade, I've seen too much mockery and contempt from them. In their eyes, I was nothing more than a laughingstock. I know who's truly been good to me, and that's why I don't want to marry into a wealthy family. Besides, my husband is already wealthy." As she spoke, she couldn't help but smile, her face radiating happiness. Ellison Jiang couldn't help but tightly hold Camellia Tang's hand. This woman was quite rational. Without a word, Lucas, who was driving the car, continued on their way. They soon arrived outside the Qian Jun Group building. Qian Jun Group was an international conglomerate owned by the Ye family in the capital. The headquarters of Qian Jun Group was a grand eight-story building, showcasing its formidable presence. Ellison Jiang and Camellia Tang got out of the car. Camellia Tang gazed up at the eight-story building, feeling a sense of awe. In the past decade, she had rarely left her home. However, her desire to explore the outside world had grown stronger over time. She had continuously educated herself at home, all with the hope of one day escaping her cage and soaring to greater heights. She took out her phone and called her high school classmate. Approximately twenty minutes later, a woman wearing professional attire and heavy makeup arrived. When she saw Camellia Tang standing at the entrance, she couldn't help but express her surprise. Camellia Tang had told her about her appearance being restored and even sent her a photo, but she hadn't believed it. Now, seeing the stunningly beautiful Camellia Tang in person, she couldn't help but feel a hint of envy. She approached them, somewhat uncertain, and asked, "Are you Camellia?" Camellia Tang, excited, walked over and grabbed the woman's hand, saying with a hint of excitement, "Siran, it's me! I never expected you to have such an impressive job, being a department head at Qian Jun Group." Siran Wu, driven by vanity, smiled and said, "It's just a way to make a living, Camellia. If you want to meet the chairman, you'll need authorization from the general manager. Let's go." "What?" Camellia Tang was momentarily stunned. Yesterday, during their chat on WeChat, Siran Wu claimed that she had already arranged a meeting with Luby Ye, the chairman of Qian Jun Group. "Camellia, you need to understand that securing an order from Qian Jun is not that simple. To get the order, you have to give something in return…" She leaned in closer to Camellia Tang and whispered in her ear. Upon hearing this, Camellia Tang firmly declined, saying, "That's impossible." Siran Wu's expression changed to annoyance. "Camellia, how can you expect to get anything without giving something in return? I've already sent your photo to the manager, and he said it's fine. All you have to do is spend a night with him, and you won't need to meet the chairman. The manager can make the decision." "Siran, I considered you my friend. What do you take me for?" Camellia Tang said with a touch of disappointment. Siran Wu looked disdainful. "You think you can get the order without giving anything in return? Let me tell you, it's impossible. I've said my piece. Think it over and let me know." With that, she turned and walked away, her high heels tapping rhythmically against the ground. Camellia Tang was nearly in tears, and she turned to look at Ellison Jiang, who had been silent the entire time. She said with teary eyes, "Am I really useless?" Ellison Jiang comforted her, saying, "Of course not. How could my wife be useless? Just go see Luby Ye. He'll definitely meet with you. I'll wait for you in the car." Ellison Jiang pushed Camellia Tang towards Qian Jun Group's building and continued walking. However, at that moment, Siran Wu, who had left earlier, returned with a middle-aged man. The man was dressed in a suit and wore a tie, giving him the appearance of a successful businessman. She intimately clung to his arm as she approached Camellia Tang again and smiled, saying, "Camellia, this is the manager of Qian Jun Group, responsible for liaising with other companies. The decision on which company receives an order ultimately depends on Manager Chen's discretion." Siran Wu's rapid advancement was primarily due to her relationship with Manager Chen. She became his mistress and climbed the ranks to department management. She had given Manager Chen a photo of Camellia Tang yesterday. Raffael Chen was immediately infatuated and promised that if Siran Wu could help him get into bed with Camellia Tang, he would definitely not treat her unfairly. He even committed to supporting her for the position of department vice manager in the future. Now, seeing Camellia Tang in person, he was even more eager to make her his conquest. Camellia Tang was even more beautiful and lively in person than in her photos. At this moment, he was determined to win this exquisite beauty. He walked up to Camellia Tang, looked her up and down, and said, "You must be Camellia Tang. Siran has already told me about your situation. On such a hot day, why don't we go to a hotel and discuss things in detail? Don't worry, with me here, I can secure an order for you, whether it's for 30 million or even 50 million." ..
