Ning Xiangcao smiled and said, "When a general is away from home, he may not obey military orders. You are in the battlefield of the auction, you are more sensitive than me, you can understand the trend of the situation better, and your judgment is more accurate than mine. It was right for me to bring you here today."

Fang Zhicheng felt relieved when Ning Xiangcao affirmed what he had done. The two smiled at each other and turned their attention to the stage. Tonight, Fang Zhicheng felt that it was worth coming here. Not only did he get to know the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, but he also met the legendary Jiang Wenlan.

Jiang Wenlan is giving a speech as a self-introduction meeting for his return to the Yunhai business world. From the details, it can be seen that Jiang Wenlan has been preparing for a long time. Every word and every action of his has been rehearsed many times, so when he is speaking on the stage, he gives people a refreshing feeling.

Unconsciously, twenty minutes had passed, and Jiang Wenlan was still attracting everyone's attention. Every word he said was deeply infectious. "Thank you to the organizer for giving me such an opportunity to give a speech. Starting tomorrow, we will fight side by side and make our own efforts for the development of Yunhai and even the country. I, Jiang Wenlan, will never let you down!"

The applause was thunderous and endless.

At this time, the man who had finally bid against Fang Zhicheng walked up to Ning Xiangcao and invited her, "Ms. Ning, Mr. Wen Lan would like to have a chat in the other hall. Is that okay?"

"Wait for me here for a moment." Ning Xiangcao smiled and nodded, followed the man and left the banquet hall.

Ning Xiangcao's trip today was to establish a bridge with Jiang Wenlan. Although she did not take the last auction item, she would have definitely won it if Jiang Wenlan had not appeared. Although she did not succeed in taking the grape picture, she successfully gained Jiang Wenlan's attention, which had achieved Ning Xiangcao's ultimate goal.

Ning Xiangcao should be the biggest winner today. She got Jiang Wenlan's private invitation without any bloodshed. This will undoubtedly have a good effect on Huaying Investment Group's next plan and preparation for cooperation projects with Jiang Wenlan.

Fang Zhicheng then wandered around, and many people who were interested in Huaying Investment Group took the initiative to approach Fang Zhicheng. When they learned that Fang Zhicheng was the director of Dongtai Investment Bureau, everyone was slightly startled, because they originally thought that Fang Zhicheng was a senior official of Huaying Investment, and then they showed goodwill. Although the position of the Investment Bureau was nothing, Ning Xiangcao gave the auction rights to Fang Zhicheng, and everyone knew that the two had a close relationship.

Fang Zhicheng exchanged more than ten business cards with the people around him, thinking that the purpose of this trip had been completely achieved. If he paid another visit in a few days, it should be more effective.

"Fang Zhicheng, we meet again." Jin Feng slowly came to Fang Zhicheng with a smile on his face, which was obviously full of hostility.

Fang Zhicheng shrugged and said calmly: "Should I call you Mr. Jin now?"

Jin Feng smiled and said, "This is all thanks to you. I can't make it in the officialdom anymore, so I have to do business. I thought we would never meet again, but I didn't expect to see you here today..."

Fang Zhicheng sighed and said, "Boss Jin, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. We have no conflict of interest now, so why not shake hands and make peace?"

After he finished speaking, Fang Zhicheng stretched out his right hand, but Jin Feng smiled disdainfully and said lightly: "Forget it. You just ruined my good thing. I don't have such a good temper. One day, I will pay you back with interest." Jin Feng came here to hand over a declaration of war. Fang Zhicheng sighed, afraid that entering the sea of clouds might not be as easy as he imagined.

Jin Feng left, and Xia Mang followed. He took the initiative to hand over a business card. Fang Zhicheng glanced at it and said with a smile, "Hello, President Xia."

Xia Mang showed a hint of arrogance on his face. He shook the glass in his hand and said, "If your name is Fang Zhicheng, I will be frank with you. Ning Xiangcao is my woman. Please stay away from her in the future."

Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, shrugged helplessly, and said: "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand!"

Xia Mang frowned and said angrily: "Is there something wrong with your IQ? I tell you again, stay away from Ning Xiangcao."

Fang Zhicheng took a step back, swept his nose with his hand, showed a very disgusted expression, and said jokingly: "I understand this sentence. I don't understand your other sentence. When did Vanilla become your woman?"

Xia Mang was angered by Fang Zhicheng's behavior, his face flushed, "Don't be ungrateful. I know your background very well, aren't you the director of Dongtai Merchants Bureau? Believe it or not, I can make the entire Yunhai Chamber of Commerce ban you with just one word." After saying that, Xia Mang showed a cunning smile at the corner of his mouth. He knew the purpose of Fang Zhicheng's coming to the banquet, and he was trying hard to get into this circle. Then, how could it be so easy to get into the circle

Facing Xia Mang's threat, Fang Zhicheng sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Boss Xia, you are too naive. Doing business is not like playing house. If you have selfish motives, you will be looked down upon."

Fang Zhicheng saw that Xia Mang was jealous of him because of his close relationship with Ning Xiangcao. Fang Zhicheng didn't want to offend anyone, but he was not a soft persimmon that could be easily squeezed.

Xia Mang was about to get angry when Ning Xiangcao came over. Ning Xiangcao noticed the tense atmosphere between Xia Mang and Fang Zhicheng, frowned slightly, quickened her pace, and asked softly, "Xia Mang, what are you doing?"

Chapter 0239: Gains and Losses

When Xia Mang saw Ning Xiangcao coming to the rescue, he thought to himself that the brat was lucky. He patted Fang Zhicheng on the shoulder and smiled enthusiastically, "I'm saying hello to your male companion." It would be bad if Xia Mang argued with Fang Zhicheng in front of Ning Xiangcao, so he responded calmly, clearing away the haze between the two of them.

Fang Zhicheng blocked it with his arm, slapped Xia Mang's palm away, and sneered: "Boss Xia, you don't have to be so hypocritical, right? Sister Vanilla, this Boss Xia was threatening me just now!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xia Mang frowned. He originally thought that Fang Zhicheng would take advantage of his kindness and step back, but he didn't expect that this kid was completely ignorant of the ways of the world and just stared at him and took a bite.

"Oh?" Ning Xiangcao saw Xia Mang's face turn pale and beads of sweat appeared on his nose. She asked with a half-smile, "How did he threaten you?"

Fang Zhicheng brushed the spot where Xia Mang had patted his shoulder just now, and sighed softly, "He said that you are his woman; and he plans to let the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce ban the Dongtai Merchants Bureau."

Many people around were attracted by the dispute here. Although they did not come to join in the fun, their attention was focused here.

"You!" Xia Mang pointed at Fang Zhicheng's nose, too angry to speak.

Any man would keep his threat in his heart and would not speak it out easily, but Fang Zhicheng did the opposite and directly said Xia Mang's arrogant words in front of Ning Xiangcao.

Ning Xiangcao waved her hand, glanced at Xia Mang with disdain, and sighed softly: "There's no need to bother too much with such a superficial person."

Xia Mang's face flushed, and he said angrily: "Vanilla, this kid is talking nonsense, I didn't say these words at all."

Ning Xiangcao smiled helplessly and said, "Xia Mang, in front of so many people today, I will also give you a piece of advice. Don't bother me anymore in the future, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you. In addition, don't think that just because your father is the vice president of the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, you can do whatever you want and do evil. If anyone targets Fang Zhicheng and the Dongtai Merchants Bureau in the future, they will be against my Ning family!"

Ning Xiangcao said this very gently, but there was a murderous intent in her words, which frightened Xia Mang so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. As for the others, they also changed their opinion of Ning Xiangcao.

Huaying Investment Group is not the most financially sound among all the chambers of commerce, but the Ning family holds a very important position in China.

Ning Xiacao's warning made more people pay attention to Fang Zhicheng. At the auction, Fang Zhicheng first represented Huaying Investment Group to participate in the auction, and then Ning Xiacao did not hesitate to tear his face with Xia Mang for it. Everyone was curious about who this Fang Zhicheng was. The person who just got Fang Zhicheng's business card subconsciously looked at it carefully at this moment, thinking to himself, could he be the direct descendant of some big family

Watching Ning Xiangcao and Fang Zhicheng leave, Xia Mang heard people around him whispering. They all regarded Xia Mang as a joke. Xia Mang pursued the second daughter of the Ning family wholeheartedly, but was ruthlessly rejected. How could he still have the face to stay in this circle in the future

Xia Mang clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger, and it was obvious that he would not let this go.

Jin Feng had been watching the confrontation in the dark, with an imperceptible arc on his lips. If Fang Zhicheng really offended Xia Mang, even though he entered this circle, he would have a hard time in the future.

Xia Mang's father, Xia Nongshan, is not only the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, but also the vice chairman of the Yunhai Federation of Industry and Commerce. He is both an official and a businessman, and has a high status in the circle. Fang Zhicheng has offended Xia Mang. Even with the help of Ning Xiangcao, he will face many challenges if he wants to open up the Yunhai investment market.

Huang Jue stood beside Jin Feng without knowing when, and said with a faint smile: "Boss Jin, I should congratulate you!"
