Chapter 457: Blackout, Darkness, Mo Jingshen, a Forced Kiss (4)

MN Group recently had a new project that needed financing, and although she had enough money in the company, she had been determined to win this fund.

Ji Mengran’s real estate studio that Sheng Yihan funded also wanted to win the financing fund provided by KW Financial Center and other companies. Now the real estate industry in Hai City had been growing, if Ji Mengran could get this money, she would be able to compete with MN Group in the short term, at least she could get some profits in the real estate industry.

It was because Ji Mengran had targeted on the fund that Ji Nuan wanted that she did not intend to let it go.

A week later, Mrs. Xu, head of KW Financial Center, arrived in Hai City. Ji Mengran got the news from Sheng Yihan and made an appointment with Mrs. Xu with the help of Sheng Yihan, hoping to talk to Mrs. Xu to win this fund.

However, to Ji Mengran’s surprise, Mrs. Xu had contacted MN Group when she was still abroad, and she was about to meet Ji Nuan on the same day. When she learned that Ji Mengran and Ji Nuan were sisters, she asked them to meet her together at the World Trade Center in Hai City on the same day.

Mrs. Xu, a woman in her late fifties, was one of the most famous of the successful female entrepreneurs in the financial industry. She asked the two young girls to go shopping with her, out of women’s nature. No matter what age women were, shopping was always the best way for women to communicate.

Ji Nuan and Mrs. Xu had met when they were still in London and knew each other a little. When she learned that Mrs. Xu also invited Ji Mengran to go shopping together, she knew that Mrs. Xu just wanted to compare the two sisters to decide which of them to give her money. After all, all she needed to do was to invest the money. As long as she could make money, she could invest in either side. Besides, Ji Nuan didn’t seem to lack investment, so Mrs. Xu had her own considerations.

But Ji Mengran didn’t think this way. When she learned that Mrs. Xu actually invited both of them to go shopping with her, she was pissed. She had been outshone by Ji Nuan for so long and had lost so much face at the resort that she didn’t want to be outdone by Ji Nuan this time, so she specially dressed up, determined to outshine Ji Nuan.

When that day came, Ji Mengran arrived at World Trade Center an hour early. While Mrs. Xu hadn’t arrived yet, she simply walked around the shopping mall and bought a watch worth more than one million yuan for Mrs. Xu.

When it was finally the appointed time, Ji Mengran went to the gate of the shopping center to welcome Mrs. Xu, only to see Ji Nuan and Mrs. Xu got out of the same car. Ji Nuan was begging Mrs. Xu for the investment. How could she have come in Mrs. Xu’s car?

Ji Mengran was immediately in a bad mood but held her temper. When Ji Nuan and Mrs. Xu got off the car, she hurried to greet Mrs. Xu with a smile. “Hello, Mrs. Xu, I am Ji Mengran, the head of Mengran Studio under the Sheng Group. Since it’s the first time we meet, I came here early to wait for you. You are very punctual.”

Mrs. Xu looked at her, gave her a friendly smile, and then turned to look at Ji Nuan, who followed her. “I went to the Financial Building for a meeting in the morning, and happened to meet CEO Ji, who reminded me that I had an appointment here this afternoon, so I came with her. Otherwise, I would have forgotten this appointment and I guess you would have to wait here for a long time.”

Ji Mengran kept the smile on her face. “Really? No wonder CEO Ji came in your car. I was wondering why she didn’t drive her own car…”

Not fawning on Mrs. Xu, Ji Nuan walked up the marble steps in front of the shopping center, took a look at Ji Mengran’s outfit, and said casually, “Mengran, are you wearing your whole wardrobe on you? It’s a hot day, but you’re wearing Chanel’s jacket. Don’t you know that the temperature is 35 degrees today?”

Mrs. Xu also smiled and looked at Ji Mengran. After all, she didn’t know much about Ji Mengran and thought the two sisters were jesting on each other, so she said kindly, “I guess Miss Mengran is afraid of the sun. Are you allergic to UV rays, so you wear a coat in such hot weather?”

Ji Mengran immediately nodded. “I do have a fear of the sun, and unlike CEO Ji, I’m seldom scantily clad. I’ve had a sunburn before, so I wear more in weather like this.”

Mrs. Xu nodded, smiled, and invited them into the shopping center. “Let’s go inside. It’s really hot outside. It’ll be more comfortable having air conditioning.”

Ji Nuan smiled politely.

Ji Mengran took Mrs. Xu’s arm and said as she walked in, “Mrs. Xu, is this your first visit to Hai City?”

“No, I came here once when I was young. The reason why I agreed to meet you sisters is that I had some business contacts with your father, Chairman Ji when I was young. Chairman Ji is very nice, and I once got a lot of help from him in business, so when I received the invitation of you two after I just came to Hai City this time, I decided to meet you two at the same time. You were very young at the time, so I guess you don’t remember me, do you?” Mrs. Xu said as she looked back at Ji Nuan. “But CEO Ji, we talked when we were in the car. I really didn’t expect that the wayward spoiled little girl has become a successful businesswoman. When I met you in the Financial Building today, I was amazed at the changes time has made in people.”

Ji Nuan smiled placidly. “People change. I was wayward and domineering because I was too young. Now I have some experience in life. Besides, I have been trained in the melting pot of business, so I certainly changed a lot.”

“Yes, exactly.” As Mrs. Xu spoke, she took Ji Nuan’s hand again and whispered to her in a low voice, “I had thought that Mengran was sensible and docile and would have a promising future, but it turns out that you’re the one with a prospect beyond measure… No one at your age can match your achievements.”

Although Mrs. Xu lowered her voice, Ji Mengran still heard her words. She gave them a sour look, retook Mrs. Xu’s arm, and said sweetly, “Mrs. Xu, I have a good career too. The real estate industry is very profitable. My sister’s company is not only engaged in this industry, and she doesn’t lack this investment. Although my studio has just started, I have a lot of resources in my hand. As long as I have this investment, I’ll never let you down in the future.”
