Chapter 447
Chapter 447: Stage 1 – SUCCESSFUL
“Mr. Han, if you don’t mind, can I ask you the reason for this sudden meeting?” Jiang Ru swallowed her pride and asked him first since he does not seem to have any intention to talk to her.
If he was going to ignore her and stay busy on his phone during their meeting, then why did he even arrange this meeting in the first place?
It’s not like she begged him to meet her. Then why does it feel like she is the one who asked for this meeting?
It’s the first time that she is sitting in front of a man and rather than looking at her, he is more interested in his phone.
WHAT THE HELL IS SO INTERESTING IN THAT PHONE? She wondered.
Not only had he invited her for a lunch meeting but they aren’t even ordering anything since he already had the lunch.
But what about her?
.....
To fit in this body-fit dress, she was starving since last night and was feeling hungry like a hyena while waiting for him. However, because of him, it seems like she won’t be able to have her lunch as well and will have to make it with black coffee only.
Han Zihao, who was typing on his phone, sent the message to Xu Nuan to not exhaust herself with work and that he will go to pick her up from the office in the evening, before putting the phone aside.
He looked at Jiang Ru with an indifferent expression on his face and said, “You asked the reason behind this meeting? As you know that last time I went to the Jiang Corporations to meet with Mr. Jiang, Your Grandfather.”
“After meeting him, I found out that you’re planning to enter into the hotelier hospitality industry and were looking for suitable land to build a hotel.”
“Is that right?” He asked.
Jiang Ru raised her brows in surprise and wondered how Grandfather Jiang found out about it. Because she hasn’t shared the details of her plans with anyone except her Father and the secretary.
She wanted to build a hotel as her business investment, separate from Jiang Corporations so that she could make a powerful impression in the eyes of the other major shareholders who will trust in her and will hand over their shares to her and make her the next SUCCESSOR of the company.
Then....who told this news to Grandfather Jiang? She wondered.
Before she could ponder more about this matter, Han Zihao interrupted her thoughts and said, “Coincidentally, I have one suitable piece of land that I was planning to sell. It is situated on the south side of the city, Xun district.”
” The area is in the developing process and has great prospects. The area will soon be connected to the highway. More than that, a hospital and a mall are still in the process of construction in the nearby area.”
” It’s a perfect spot for you to build a Hotel as an investment. I am sure Ms. Jiang Ru will manage the hotel well and will not let down my trust in your skills and talent.” He smiled at her for the first time during the long-awkward meeting, causing her heart to skip a beat.
” Since we’re acquainted with each other, I will give you the land at a lower price than I had offered to other people. I am sure you won’t find land like that at this rate anywhere, I can assure you of that.”
Han Zihao’s words left Jiang Ru shocked and pleasantly surprised. They’re acquainted with each other?
Her cheeks turned crimson in embarrassment as she couldn’t believe that Han Zihao is not only aware of her existence in the business world but also has great trust in her working skills and sharpness.
Even her Grandfather never trusted her, but this man is ready to offer her land at a lower price than others? Has he fallen for her?
Is he the type to fall in love at first glance? She wondered if he had fallen for her when she went to her Grandfather’s office to greet him.
‘Jiang Ru, don’t be swayed by his handsome face. You are here to do business.’ She shakes her head to clear her mind and chants in her mind repeatedly to keep herself as focused as possible.
She cleared her throat and said, ” I also have heard that the Xun district is a great place and in the process of developing. The Government is also planning to implement various policies to make tourism flourish in that area as well.”
” However, I am not sure why you’re offering me that land. That too at a cheaper price than the market rate. Rather than selling it to me, shouldn’t you make another hotel in the name of Han Corporations and expand your business? I am not sure why you’re doing that to me.” She said in confusion while showing her concern.
On the surface, she was questioning his intentions and was trying to pretend as a sane businesswoman, but inwardly, her heart was beating faster than ever.
How can this man be so arrogant and chic? It was her first time seeing a man like him who has attracted her the most in the very first meeting.
He is cold and indifferent but it is also his charm. His deep and throaty voice can make any sane woman weak in her legs.
‘How come I never met this man before? He is exactly my TYPE!’ She smiled shyly.

Upon hearing her question, Han Zihao looked as if he was in deep thought and said, ” Of course, I can start a new hotel in that area. However, at the moment, I want to invest in a hotel that will become a hit in the future rather than running a hotel myself.” He said to convince her.
” If you start the hotel, I will be the first one to invest in your hotel. That’s my promise.”
” Also, Han Corporation is doing just fine. I don’t think we need to launch a new hotel to expand our business anytime soon.” He also added to make her worry-free.
Jiang Ru pursed her lips and tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear and said shyly, “I am glad that Mr. Han believes in my skills. However, wouldn’t it be a loss if you give it to me at a lower price? I mean, is there a special reason why you’re doing this for me?” She asked again while showing him the best smile of hers.
She was already convinced by his answers and the sincerity in his eyes. But she wanted to hear from his mouth for the last time to confirm everything.
” Many people did approach me to buy that land. However, since we’re acquainted with each other I wanted to offer it to you before anyone else. Moreover, I prefer to work with people who are like-minded and have a strong character of their own. And Ms. Jiang perfectly fits the description I mentioned just now.”
“I hope this answer is enough for Ms. Jiang to trust in me?” Han Zihao asked while looking deep into her eyes.
Since he had promised Grandfather Jiang to help him in this revenge battle and put the criminals in their place, he will make sure to do that with perfection.
There is no place for mercy on them.
” So what is your decision, Ms. Jiang? If you want, you can take some time to think about it. I can wait for you.”
Jiang Ru sipped on her black coffee to cool down her head and exhaled before saying, ” There is no need. How can I reject such a great offer when Mr. Han is the one offering it to me? You’re giving me the land at such a lower price, I will be a fool if I let it go.” She said with a bright smile and was pleased with the way he is responding to her now.
Looks like along with the owner of a hotel, she will soon become the Mistress of the Han Family as well. Because there are no men who haven’t fallen into her seduction trap.
Han Zihao will be no exception either.
While Jiang Ru was pleased to finalize this great deal with him, Han Zihao smiled at her and smirked suggestively, which went unnoticed by excited Jiang Ru.
