Chapter 459: Blackout, Darkness, Mo Jingshen, a Forced Kiss (6)

It was not until Mrs. Xu was finally tired of listening to Ji Mengran's chattering and the smile on her face gradually grew impatient that Ji Nuan said, "Madam, MN Group has invested in two Hope Primary Schools in the province. If you have time tomorrow, may I accompany you to see the children in the Hope Primary Schools?"

Mrs. Xu immediately looked at Ji Nuan in surprise. "Does your company also do charity?"

Ji Nuan said with a gentle smile, "Although MN Group has established itself in various industries, as you just said, it has been doing charity that not everyone can hold on. MN Group has sponsored many children in foreign countries and has built many Hope Primary Schools named by MN Group in China in recent years. However, not all of them are located in Hai City. We have a dedicated charity department, and we do charities all over the country."

Mrs. Xu's eyes were full of smile, and she nodded. "Good, very good."

Seeing the subject diverged again, Ji Mengran said with a sneer, "Since MN Group even has the money for charity, it should not be short of this investment."

Ji Nuan glanced at her. "Mengran, if you can easily give away a million yuan watch as a gift and your outfit today is worth more than a million yuan, your studio probably doesn't lack money as much as you described. We're in the same situation, aren't we?"

Clearly, MN Group had more advantages, but Ji Nuan deliberately said she was in the same situation as Ji Mengran.

The pejorative implication was self-evident.

Mrs. Xu didn't look at Ji Mengran again but looked at Ji Nuan with great interest. "It's good to do charity. But as Mengran said, your company is not short of money, so why do you still seek our investment?"

Ji Nuan glanced at the stack of paper in Mrs. Xu's hand, which Ji Mengran gave her while chatting with her just now. The papers were filled with visions of the studio's future and ambitious plans written down by its employees, giving the impression that the studio might indeed have a bright future and worth investing in.

But Mrs. Xu just looked through it and had no interest in continuing to read it.

Ji Nuan didn't take out any documents, but they just happened to walk to the counter of several electronic products under MN Group in the mall right now. All the staff of MN Group was working vigorously, and there were many customers at this counter. It could be seen that MN Group was doing very well in business and didn't lack money.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xu had already had a plan and turned to look at Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan also looked at Mrs. Xu. She seemed not to have any intention of begging for this investment and just smiled politely as if talking about cooperation with a business partner. "The more, the better for us to have money. Only with more investment can we achieve a win-win situation. I think I don't need to introduce the strengths of MN Group because you can see it. You know better than me where your money can be invested more profitably. After all, as a professional investor, you have a wider view. Mrs. Xu, I will not affect your judgment. We need this money, but not desperately. But as you know, many domestic enterprises' growth is not very stable, and not all enterprises can achieve a win-win situation with their investors, but MN Group can do it."

Mrs. Xu laughed and said nothing more. Ji Nuan didn't say much either. They were both businesswomen, and Mrs. Xu certainly knew who could bring her more profits.

Ji Mengran was unreconciled. She took Mrs. Xu's hand, asked her if she was tired, and invited Mrs. Xu to go to the western restaurant downstairs, but Mrs. Xu refused.

It was noon at this time. When they passed the food court in the mall, Ji Nuan spotted a vegetarian restaurant and asked Mrs. Xu gently, "Let's go to the vegetarian restaurant?"

Mrs. Xu nodded. "Okay."

Ji Mengran. "..."

They went in and ordered a few simple dishes, Mrs. Xu just ignored Ji Mengran and discussed with Ji Nuan the business changes in recent years and MN Group. Obviously, she preferred MN Group.

Ji Mengran tried several times to speak, but could not get a word in. All she could do was sitting and staring.

Before the dishes were served, Ji Nuan and Mrs. Xu had finished discussing a topic when she took the lemonade from the waiter and smiled. "By the way, speaking of gifts, I also prepared two gifts for you, Mrs. Xu."

"Oh? You got a gift, too?" Mrs. Xu smiled and looked at Ji Nuan.

Hearing Ji Nuan also prepared gifts, Ji Mengran rolled her eyes. Just now, she looked at her with a look of contempt, but now isn't she trying to please Mrs. Xu with gifts too?

Ji Nuan took some old and dirty letters out of her bag and put them in front of Mrs. Xu.

"In addition to building many Hope Primary Schools, MN Group also sponsors some children from poor families every month. These are the thank-you letters from the children who are sponsored, all written by the children themselves. Their families were in poor condition. They didn't have any good envelopes or stationery. The letters were written in pencil and the writing is a little blurred, but each word is full of gratitude and hope, which I have cherished ever since I received them."

With that, Ji Nuan took a string of seemingly ordinary Buddhist beads out of her bag and placed them next to the envelope.

"This string of Buddhist beads is made of ordinary peach wood, and I didn't ask any renowned monk to carve scriptures on it. Although it is a very common and rough peach wood Buddhist beads, it's made of a very old peach tree in the back mountain of Nanfan Temple in Hai City. This peach tree is at least several hundred years old and grew in the back mountain of Nanfan Temple, so it's very spiritual. Not long ago, some trees in the back mountain had to be disposed of because the temple was to be rebuilt. I asked them for a few pieces of peach wood and polished them into Buddhist beads."

When Ji Mengran saw the two shabby gifts Ji Nuan had taken out, she doubted if the latter was joking.

Was she crazy to give these shabby things to Mrs. Xu whose property was worth tens of billions of yuan?

However, when Mrs. Xu saw these two things Ji Nuan took out her eyes shone. She looked at Ji Nuan earnestly and cracked a smile. "CEO Ji, that's very kind of you. I'll take the gifts. I like them very much."

Ji Mengran was stunned and looked incredulously at the happy smile on Mrs. Xu's face.

Ji Nuan gave a calm and elegant smile. "I'm glad you like them."

Sitting on the side and looking dumbfounded at the stuff, Ji Mengran was very upset. She wanted to ask Mrs. Xu why she liked these shabby things, but she didn't dare to ask.
