Chapter 422: Collaborate With You
“Thank you!” Jiang Liran’s att.i.tude was sincere. “I’d like to know… How much would you like to be paid?”
These days, he had spent a great sum of money on treatments, none of which seemed to yield any significant effects.
Now that Xia Xibei had saved his life, she must be paid.
He wouldn’t hold a grudge, even if she asked for a lot.
What surprised him was that Xia Xibei was silent for a moment, before asking, “You own BiDu Cab Service, right?”
Jiang Liran was taken aback at first, then he nodded, “Yes.”
BiDu Cab Service was a new project that their company was working on. Online cab-booking services were taking off nowadays, and everyone could see the great value that the market promised. Thus, the Jiang family had also gotten down on the field.
However, the project was still in the initial phase of development. Trials were on-going and the project was yet to be officially launched.
Apart from an occasional mention in the financial news, hardly any outsiders knew about this project.
“Great. I’d like to collaborate with you.”
Xia Xibei’s words struck them like a bolt from the blue, leaving the brothers stupefied.
Collaborate?!
Did she have any idea what she was talking about?
“Are you… Are you sure?”
“Of course I am,” Xia Xibei nodded, her smile bright and cheerful.
In fact, Xia Xibei remembered Jiang Liran very well.
In her past life, Jiang Liran would pa.s.s away in a traffic accident two years from now, which had been reported in the news.
The reason she remembered him so clearly was mainly because he looked way too handsome in the picture.
With his youthful and striking appearance, he stood out like a bright, unstained star amongst all the half-bald, overweight chairmen in their middle or old ages.
The news drew a lot of attention. Everyone felt that it was a huge pity to lose such a young, handsome man!
After his pa.s.sing, an enormous amount of a.s.sets were left behind and a series of dramatic events ensued.
As his legal wife, Xie Dongqing received quite a big sum of money, alongside BiDu Cab Service.
At that time, BiDu Cab Service had become a huge sensation, which dominated the market of online cab-booking services of the country.
Later, BiDu Cab Service got into a lot of trouble due to management problems, and their reputation gradually became tarnished.
However, BiDu Cab Service was still going strong at the time the mishap befell Xia Xibei.
Therefore, she thought it was a good idea to have a hand in BiDu Cab Service, since it was only about to take off now.
She had saved Jiang Liran’s life, for Christ’s sake!
In her previous life, it was said in the news that Jiang Liran had probably died because he felt unwell while driving, which made him lose sight on the road momentarily, leading to the car crash.
Now that she had met Jiang Liran, Xia Xibei finally understood that it was all fate, even from the beginning.
Having been poisoned, his body gradually weakened as time pa.s.sed, and it was only natural that Jiang Liran got into trouble.
Jiang Liran couldn’t seem to wrap his head around Xia Xibei’s request.
“You… You really want to take part in the project?”
“Yes,” Xia Xibei nodded. “Honestly speaking, I think that this project has a great prospect.”
The brothers exchanged a glance, still stunned.
“Alright! Sure, I’ll let you in.”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Liran finally gave the green light.
“Very well,” Xia Xibei’s smile widened.
Shortly after, the three of them, nope, the two of them engaged in an intense discussion of the project, in which Xia Xibei contributed many ideas.
Jiang Liran was totally amazed by Xia Xibei. How did she acquire such a brilliant, outstanding mentality at such a young age?!
The discussion enlivened Jiang Liran more and more, making him forget about his illness.
The discussion finally ended, despite their reluctance, when Xia Xibei’s phone buzzed.
“Sorry, something came up, I have to go.”
Xia Xibei flashed them an apologetic smile after reading Liu Manhong’s message.
“It’s alright, you may go back first,” Jiang Liran nodded. “We’ll continue tomorrow.”
“Sure, rest well.” Xia Xibei stood up. “I’ll come again tomorrow.”
