“Tsk.” Ji Haoyu couldn’t help but raise his handsome eyebrows. “Look at you. Aren’t you belittling yourself?”

Jian Ai still didn’t believe Ji Haoyu’s words. “With the Ji Group’s current scale, you shouldn’t need to look for a partner, right? What project can’t you complete yourself?”

“You don’t have to deliberately use this method to help me. My company can develop steadily. There’s no need to cozy up to the Ji Group at this time.”

Jian Ai clearly felt that Ji Haoyu was deliberately looking for an opportunity to help her develop the company. She did not need such help. By relying on her and the company’s employees, M Group could still develop steadily step by step.

When Ji Haoyu heard Jian Ai’s words, he quickly explained, “Don’t misunderstand me! I admit that I have a little selfishness in wanting to collaborate with you, but this project needs a partner. It’s not that the Ji Group can’t do it itself, but there are some other objective factors.”

“Since I need to find someone to collaborate with, you must be the first person I think of. After all, benefits should not go to outsiders.”

Ji Haoyu’s words were quite sincere. When Jian Ai heard this, she hesitated for a moment before asking, “What other factors?”

“We’ll arrange a time to talk about the details when you’re back.” After Ji Haoyu finished speaking, he promised again, “It’s definitely a project that needs you. You’ll like it too.”

Jian Ai thought for a moment. Since Ji Haoyu had already said this, there was no need for her to refuse. She would naturally know what was going on after they met.

If it was as Ji Haoyu had said and this project needed a partner, Jian Ai will collaborate with the Ji Group once. After all, the other party was the top financial group in Asia. If they could reach a collaboration, it would indeed bring considerable benefits to M Group.

Just as Ji Haoyu had said, since he needed a partner, there was no need for her to give it to others.

After a while, Jian Ai answered, “Alright, we’ll talk when I get back.”

After hanging up, Jian Ai stood up and walked to the edge of the balcony to look into the distance. The boundless jade-green sea water was clear and beautiful, making Jian Ai relax.

Ji Haoyu’s appearance appeared in her mind, and Jian Ai chuckled. Unknowingly, her relationship with Ji Haoyu seemed to be more harmonious than before.

Jian Ai also felt that her attitude towards Ji Haoyu was not as hateful as before. Although he was indeed shameless sometimes, it seemed that as time passed, she gradually adapted to Ji Haoyu’s changes.

In the past, she would still consider which was the real him. But now, Jian Ai felt that Ji Haoyu was such a multi-faced person. When facing different people, the aura he displayed was completely different.

At least in front of her, Ji Haoyu always looked like he deserved a beating. Sometimes he was shameless, and sometimes he was indecent.

After a while, Jian Ai slowly retracted her thoughts and didn’t think about anything else. She returned to her room to change her clothes and prepared to go out to play with everyone.

…

The first of October was a rare day for Jian Changsheng to rest at home every year. Even if he had work to handle, he would finish it at home.

Qiao Shuyi was the happiest that Jian Changsheng could stay at home. A while ago, the Jian Group inexplicably suffered a heavy blow. Jian Changsheng had lost a lot of weight, so while Jian Changsheng was at home, Qiao Shuyi cooked personally every day and made a lot of nourishing soup.
