Chapter 285 - Full of Confidence

At that moment, Jiang Bodang turned to Jiang Hao and called out.

“Hao Hao, come over here, I want to introduce you to someone!”

He gestured to the Mediterranean man standing beside him and began the introduction to Jiang Hao.

“This gentleman is Director Du from Hongyun Group. Director Du is quite the big shot!”

Then, with unabashed eagerness, he turned to the Mediterranean man.

“Director Du, this is my nephew, the top scholar with a score of 747 on the college entrance exam—Jiang Hao!”

“Though, that doesn't count for much these days, with college graduates everywhere. Who knows, maybe after he graduates, he might need a favor from Director Du!”

The man's words grated on the ears.

Yet, in that moment, Director Du, looking at his foolish business partner, felt a surge of irritation so intense he could barely contain it.

He had only agreed to this partnership because he knew Jiang Bodang was Jiang Hao's uncle, hoping it would give him a chance to connect with Jiang Hao.

To his dismay, the fool seemed completely oblivious to his nephew's talents.

His remarks instantly diminished Jiang Hao's opinion of him.

Still, Jiang Bodang remained clueless.

He turned to Jiang Hao, who was standing off to the side, and his brow furrowed in annoyance.

“Hao Hao, don't just stand there; invite Director Du to sit down!”

He had taken over the event as if he were the host, overshadowing the actual hosts.

The mood soured as faces all around soured considerably.

“Wait, Director Du? Does Mr. Jiang himself need to extend the invitation?”

Xue Zixi, draped in a regal purple qipao, commanded the room like a majestic phoenix, drawing all eyes to her.

Jiang Bodang recognized Xue Zixi, though he wasn't quite in her league.

Yet, her reference to “Mr. Jiang” sent him soaring, his head in the clouds with self-importance.

He assumed Xue Zixi must have heard of his exploits, hence her recognition.

What he failed to realize was that Xue Zixi's “Mr. Jiang” was a reference to Jiang Hao!

Oblivious, he prepared to respond with false modesty.

“The lady flatters me. Director Du and I have a natural rapport…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the Mediterranean man caught sight of Xue Zixi and quickly interrupted him to explain.

“Miss has really put Little Du through the wringer. He just wanted to seize the chance to meet Mr. Jiang, but he didn't realize…”

At this point, he let out a wry smile.

Xue Zixi's gaze swept over the Mediterranean man before resting on Jiang Bodang with a look that suggested he was an utter fool.

She made her way directly to Jiang Hao and greeted him with due respect.

“Mr. Jiang, I apologize for keeping everyone waiting!”

Then, with a hint of surprise, she gestured toward Jiang Bodang and inquired,

“Mr. Jiang, who might this be?”

At that moment, Jiang Bodang, witnessing Xue Zixi addressing Jiang Hao as Mr. Jiang and not recognizing him, stood frozen, his mind in a muddle.

”The Miss doesn't recognize me?”

“Was her reference to Mr. Jiang meant for Jiang Hao?”

It dawned on him that he had completely misunderstood the situation!

Xue Zixi's use of Mr. Jiang was a respectful address for Jiang Hao!

Embarrassment washed over his face.

He quickly pieced together that he had never been in a position to approach Director Du initially.

It was Director Du who had sought him out, and he had flattered himself thinking that Director Du had spotted some special potential in him!

He blamed his own heady excitement for clouding his judgment.

Even when Director Du had come to him, his persistent questions about Jiang Hao had gone unnoticed as something odd.

Ultimately, it seemed that only after Director Du confirmed his identity as Jiang Hao's uncle did he present a contract worth a hundred million!

And later, it was only upon learning that he was to attend Jiang Hao's banquet did Director Du request to accompany him!
