It was not that the newly opened medicinal cuisine restaurant of the Green Gang was not good. One had to know that once this medicinal cuisine restaurant opened, their business would be extremely good. All the high officials and nobles in the capital had visited it before. Of course, the Jiang family was an exception. If it was under normal circumstances, Jiang Guoqiang would not have felt anything. However, the recent competition between him and Qu Yaotian was known by the entire capital.
As for the Green Gang, their stance had always been very clear. They supported Qu Yaotian. Now, if he was asked to go to the Green Gang’s medicinal cuisine for an appointment, how could he not be angry? However, he could not change the place in front of the city again. He could only bite the bullet and go.

Sometimes, when this person was carrying someone, he could not be stopped. Jiang Guoqiang had just arrived at the Green Gang’s medicinal cuisine restaurant and sat down in the private room. Chen Meng’er, Elder Liu, and the others also came to the restaurant. They said that they were here to improve the food, in fact, Elder Liu had nothing to do and found an excuse to come out for a stroll.
“You’re saying that Jiang Guoqiang and Chen Ming have an appointment to meet at the Green Gang’s restaurant today? Is Jiang Guoqiang alright?” Chen Meng’er had just sat down in the private room on the top floor when Su Jin came in and whispered into Chen Meng’er’s ear.
“What? You said that Jiang Guoqiang is here? Shouldn’t he draw a clear line with the Green Gang? Why would he come to the Green Gang’s territory? Isn’t he afraid that the Green Gang will do something to him?” Fatty asked with a wicked sense of humor.
“Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? Jiang Guoqiang isn’t worried about this. However, it’s a little strange for him to come to the Green Gang’s restaurant for a meal at this time…” Skinny didn’t finish his sentence, he rubbed his chin and said meaningfully.

“If I’m not wrong, this Jiang Guoqiang didn’t come willingly.” Chen Meng’er thought about it and roughly understood the twists and turns.
Ever since Jiang Guoqiang entered the restaurant, he had been restless. In any case, he didn’t feel comfortable sitting there. He started smoking.
“Chief… Jiang?” Just as Jiang Guoqiang felt that he couldn’t sit here anymore, the door opened with a creak. Chen Ming pushed the door open and walked in with his assistant.
“Are you the young master of the Wharton Family?” This was the first time Jiang Guoqiang had seen Chen Ming. He was secretly surprised by Chen Ming’s fluent Chinese.
“Just call me Chen Ming. I grew up in this country too.” Chen Ming’s attitude towards Jiang Guoqiang was quite good. This made Jiang Guoqiang’s apprehensive heart relax.
“I see. Come, sit down and chat.” Jiang Guoqiang’s heart was filled with issues. He didn’t have the time to chat with Chen Ming. After he called Chen Ming to sit down, he went straight to the point and said, “I won’t beat around the bush with you. I called to meet you because I have something to ask your family for help.”
“What is it? Tell me,” Chen Ming said very politely.
“As you know, there’s a general election coming up. I also know that your family has quite a bit of influence in the country. And right now, I really need your family’s help,” Jiang Guo said impatiently.
Chen Ming didn’t expect that Jiang Guoqiang would ask him out for this matter. However, after thinking about it, it made sense. For the Jiang family recently, this matter was the most important.
“Hmm.” After hearing Jiang Guoqiang’s words, Chen Ming didn’t immediately answer him. Instead, he remained silent for quite a while.
When Chen Ming fell silent, Jiang Guoqiang felt a wave of nervousness in his heart. However, he didn’t dare open his mouth to urge Chen Ming.
After about five minutes, Jiang Guoqiang felt as if more than an hour had passed. Chen Ming opened his mouth and said apologetically to Jiang Guoqiang, “I’m sorry, Chief Jiang. I might not be able to agree to your request.”

“Why? Isn’t your family an ally of our family? If the Jiang family were to fall, it wouldn’t benefit the development of your family in our country at all.” Jiang Guoqiang stood up anxiously.
“I know, but I’m very sorry. Our family can only say that we are powerless in this matter.” Chen Ming’s attitude was very unyielding.
Chen Ming knew about the matter of the country’s general election. It should be said that Chen Ming had only cast such matters aside with a glance. However, this matter had something to do with Chen Meng’er. Chen Ming would put his heart at ease if anything had anything to do with Chen Meng’er.
As for the Qu family’s relationship with Chen Meng’er, Chen Ming had also investigated it thoroughly. As for Chen Ming, who wanted to win Chen Meng’er’s heart, why would he drop the ball at such a crucial moment?
This was also the Jiang family’s bad luck. No matter who their family offended or who their opponent was, as long as it wasn’t related to Chen Meng’er, Chen Ming would definitely give the Jiang family a hand on account of the fact that the two families were partners in the past.
“Why can’t you do anything about it? As long as your family is willing to help, when I’m re-elected in the future, I’ll give your family a lot of convenience.” Jiang Guoqiang was so anxious that he didn’t even care about his own image, he directly stood up.
“I’m sorry. Let’s go.” Chen Ming didn’t want to say anything more to Jiang Guoqiang. He brought his assistant, stood up, and left.
Walking to the door, Chen Ming’s assistant, who hadn’t spoken all this time, but had long wanted to speak, couldn’t help but open his mouth and say, “Young Master, it’s not good for you to directly reject the Jiang family’s request for help, right? I’m afraid that if this were to reach the elder’s ears, he would fly into a rage.”
“No, you’ve guessed wrong. This is exactly what Grandpa wants.” Chen Ming shook his head.
“How is that possible?” Chen Ming’s assistant had a look of disbelief on his face.
“How is that not possible? If Grandpa really wants to help the Jiang family, it’s impossible for him to push Jiang Guoqiang to me.” Chen Ming wasn’t stupid. At first, he still couldn’t figure out how Elder Wharton pushed the Jiang family to him, now, he finally understood.
In his grandfather’s eyes, the Jiang family was a useless chess piece.
And his grandfather was using a useless chess piece to test him. “The old man has long seen that the luck of the Jiang family has run out. He’s trying to draw a line between himself and the Jiang family.” What Chen Ming didn’t say was that his grandfather actually never took the Jiang family seriously.
