Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat! Chapter 285 - 23: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to B

"If you like, I can also call you Brother Xinzhu now."

The woman’s red lips parted lightly, and when she spoke close to his ear, her voice was husky and captivating. As the music gradually played, Jiang Lai slowly wrapped his shoulders and twisted her waist, like whispering closely to a lover. Her soft body exuded enchanting charm everywhere.

At this mont, Tao Xinzhu realized that the little girl who used to follow him around calling him Brother Xinzhu was growing up.

He had never realized before that Jiang Lai would one day beco a mature woman. Before this, in his eyes, Jiang Lai was still the little girl from childhood.

But now, the curve in his palm forced him to acknowledge Jiang Lai’s changes.

For a mont, he felt his palm heating up, and even Jiang Lai’s hand, which inadvertently touched his neck, beca difficult to ignore.

As the dance ended, Jiang Lai released her grip and took a step back, slightly adjusting her long dress.

"Not bad dancing, still the sa as when you were a kid with no progress."

"As I grew up, I danced less. You’ve changed so much since childhood."

"Really? I’m about to graduate. Where do you plan to work?"

Tao Xinzhu smiled.

"Although the Tao Family is no longer as good as it used to be, after all, it is still the baby my father worked hard for over thirty years. He’s getting old now, and I’ll probably stay at ho to help manage the company after I graduate."

"Yes, your family’s recent transition to e-comrce isn’t bad, but the threshold for dical equipnt is still quite high. Although your family has the technology, finding a good market isn’t easy, wasting so much advanced equipnt."

The Tao Family is in the dical equipnt business. Mr. Tao also opened a hospital in another city, and the benefits are decent. But relying solely on the hospital’s inco is far from comparable to the Jiang Family’s large listed company. Therefore, the childhood jokes about family ties between the Tao Family and the Jiang Family parents have never been ntioned again.

The Tao Family is well aware and doesn’t want to lose on both ends and ruin the friendship.

So when Jiang Lai and Tao Xinzhu were seen dancing together, Jiang’s mother couldn’t help but frown, and a noblewoman friend nearby leaned over and whispered.

"Xinzhu and Lai Lai are about the sa age and grew up together. Do you think there’s a possibility with these two kids..."

"No way, kids don’t understand anything; it’s just a simple friendship dance."

"True, the Tao Family is not what it used to be and certainly doesn’t match your Jiang Family."

Jiang’s mother’s face didn’t look too good, and she casually responded with a few words.

"What match or not, Lai Lai is still young. I haven’t planned on letting her date so soon."

At this mont, Jiang Lai and Tao Xinzhu were already sitting down with a drink each, chatting.

"Now is the era of big data. The Tao Family is still holding onto old business practices, definitely lagging compared to foreign dical equipnt companies."

"I know, but my father’s thinking is too old-fashioned. Although I’m aware of problems with his business approach, there’s nothing I can do."

"How much of the family shares do you hold?"

Tao Xinzhu curiously glanced at Jiang Lai, thought for a mont, and then answered truthfully.

"Only three percent now, but my dad promised to give ten percent more after I graduate."

"Isn’t that enough? With thirteen percent of the shares, you can find ways to reform. Surely you don’t want Tao Xin dical to completely fade from the market in ten or twenty years."

Tao Xinzhu heard this and smiled wryly.

"I know all this, but reform isn’t as simple as saying it; it requires massive capital. The Tao Family doesn’t have enough money."

"The money problem is the easiest to solve. If you can handle the most challenging technical part, I can invest in you."

Tao Xinzhu looked at Jiang Lai incredulously, only then realizing he’d been following Jiang Lai’s line of thinking all along.

"You want to invest in Tao Xin dical? Why?"

"To make money, the dical industry is quite lucrative, isn’t Tao Xin dical also making money?"

What Jiang Lai said was straightforward, making Tao Xinzhu see her in a new light.

Unexpectedly, while he was reminiscing about childhood monts, Jiang Lai was considering investnts and profits.

No wonder, the gap between the Jiang Family and the Tao Family was getting wider.

"Don’t you need to discuss this with Uncle Jiang?"

"Why discuss with him when I invest my money? Here’s my business card, let’s reintroduce ourselves, Jiang Lai, General Manager of Enyuan Charity Company."

Seeing the business card in front of him, Tao Xinzhu was shocked.

"I didn’t expect Uncle Jiang to already let you participate in company managent, while I’m still clueless in school."

Jiang Lai looked at him, feeling ashad and inadequate, and spoke.

"People are naturally different. If you plan to continue relying on the old ways like your father, I believe the gap between us will grow, and Tao Xin dical will soon disappear from the market."

"Jiang Lai, hasn’t anyone ever told you that your words can be hurtful?"

"I’m stating facts and giving you an opportunity. When you get the shares, you can use them as collateral to exchange for my investnt, and I’ll return the shares once you repay with your profits."

Tao Xinzhu couldn’t help but frown listening to this.

"My dad won’t agree if he finds out."

"Then don’t let him know. Anyway, I have money, and investing in any dical company is more profitable than yours. But since we grew up together, I’d like to bring you along if you want to make money together, but I won’t force you."

Saying this, Jiang Lai took a sip of wine, a shrewd look flashing in her eyes.

"But once this opportunity passes, it won’t co again. Think about it. Apart from , where else can you get so much investnt for your reform?"

"Tao Xin dical’s shares might be worth a bit more than you imagine. To have use shares as collateral, Jiang Lai, how much money do you think you have?"

Jiang Lai smiled.

"Not much, but enough to buy a Tao Xin Hospital."

——

Jiang Lai and Tao Xinzhu were chatting when Jiang Ruantian, holding a wine glass, silently walked up to Mo Zhoujing and offered him a toast.

"Mr. Mo seems troubled. If you can’t say it, let have a drink with you."

The birthday wine, especially in the Jiang Family, Mo Zhoujing took a sip.

At this mont, Jiang Ruantian glanced at him slightly, then asked with curiosity.

"Mr. Mo, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

At this point, Mo Zhoujing realized sothing was wrong with his body, as an indescribable heat surged through him.

A glance around revealed everyone in the area, but the waiter serving drinks earlier in the banquet hall was nowhere to be found.

"Mr. Mo? What’s wrong with you?"
