Active Seduction Investigation

Today was Jiang Yunlu's birthday.

To Jiang Chenshan, nothing was more important than his daughter's birthday.

For this reason, he had canceled all his meetings and specifically cleared his schedule for the entire day just to accompany her.

The morning sun was gradually becoming a bit harsh, casting dappled shadows as it shone upon the parasols at the campsite.

He leaned back leisurely in a rattan chair brought down from the RV, yet he still held a tablet in his hands, his fingertips lightly swiping across the latest financial reports.

He was long accustomed to handling the group's affairs remotely; this would not affect his mood while spending time with his daughter.

Just as his brows furrowed slightly, pondering a fluctuation in the data, the light above his head suddenly dimmed.

A shadow loomed over him, carrying an undeniable presence.

Jiang Chenshan did not even lift his eyelids, only speaking mildly.

"Step aside, you're blocking the light."

The air fell quiet for a moment.

Only then did he slowly raise his head, seeing three young people standing before him. The man leading them wore a perfectly measured smile of apology on his face.

Jiang Chenshan calmly placed the tablet face down on the table. The screen went dark, and he leaned back into his chair. The steady, imposing aura of a business mogul instantly filled the air.

"Is there something you need?" His voice was flat, betraying neither joy nor anger.

The young man in the lead was none other than Zhou Nianqian. He bowed slightly, keeping his posture quite low, yet his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Apologies for the intrusion, President Jiang. I am Zhou Nianqian from the Qianheng Group. My father is Zhou Yutong."

Jiang Chenshan's heart skipped a beat.

Qianheng Group?

He quickly ran the name through his mind. A behemoth, a true corporate titan.

Zhou Yutong was the current CEO, but everyone knew that the true helmsman of the Qianheng Group was Old Master Zhou, who had long since retreated behind the scenes yet still wielded immense power.

By that reckoning, the polite young man before him was a wealthy third-generation heir born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Although Jiang Chenshan's company was considered a leader in the industry, compared to the Qianheng Group, it was ultimately not in the same league.

However, the business scopes of the two companies had almost no overlap; they minded their own business.

What was this kid plotting by suddenly approaching him?

Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Chenshan's mind, but his face remained unruffled, even revealing a faint smile.

"So it is Young Master Zhou. A pleasure to meet you."

He nodded, appearing neither overly enthusiastic nor lacking in courtesy. "I wonder what advice Young Master Zhou has for me?"

As a self-made first-generation tycoon, Jiang Chenshan had his own pride.

Facing a young man junior to him in both generation and age, no matter how profound the other party's background was, it was impossible for him to bow and scrape.

Zhou Nianqian seemed quite satisfied with this lukewarm attitude, as it proved the other party had already placed him in a position requiring serious consideration.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"President Jiang overstates it, I wouldn't dare offer advice," Zhou Nianqian said, smiling and waving his hand.

"I just saw the car you parked over there. Out of curiosity, I casually looked up the owner. I didn't expect it to be you, President Jiang, so I came over specifically to say hello. I mean nothing else by it."

His words stopped right there, yet they contained a massive amount of information.

Casually looked it up? A lightly spoken phrase, but behind it lay connections and resources unimaginable to ordinary people.

This was both an explanation and a quiet flexing of muscles.

Having said that, Zhou Nianqian said no more. He nodded once again to Jiang Chenshan, then turned and left with Ye Minghui and Ye Qiaolin, crisp and decisive.

Jiang Chenshan watched their retreating figures, his gaze deepening.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Mo, who had remained silent all along, let his gaze rest on the trio for a moment. A wisp of invisible spiritual sense quietly extended from his body, landing precisely on Zhou Nianqian's group.

Having walked a distance away, Ye Qiaolin finally couldn't help but speak up: "That's it? Just saying hello?"

Zhou Nianqian did not stop walking, a confident smile of having everything under control playing at the corners of his mouth.

"What else? Did you want me to carry ingredients over and beg him to camp with us?"

He glanced back toward the campsite, as if he could pierce through space to see Jiang Chenshan's expression.

"Someone like Jiang Chenshan has a heavier guard than anyone else. The more enthusiastic you are, the more suspicious he gets. Next, we don't need to do anything. We just need to wait."

"Wait?" Ye Qiaolin was still a bit confused.

"Yes, wait for him to investigate us himself."

Zhou Nianqian said with certainty, "We have to give this self-made President Jiang some time to personally verify my identity, don't we?"

The facts were exactly as he expected.

Back there, Jiang Chenshan had already picked up his phone and sent a message to his assistant.

"Zhou Nianqian, son of Zhou Yutong of the Qianheng Group. Look him up. All public and private information, send it all to my inbox within ten minutes."

After all, it wasn't as if Jiang Chenshan had to believe any random guy who ran over claiming to be someone's son.

He wanted to see what this guy was up to.

Lin Mo also noticed Jiang Chenshan's actions.

After all, someone who could become a first-generation tycoon definitely had some brains in addition to catching the right trends.

"The charcoal should be ready, we can start barbecuing," Lin Mo said softly.

"Yay! Barbecue!" Jiang Yunlu jumped up excitedly.

At this time, Uncle Zhao walked over. "Miss, Young Master Lin, let me do the grilling."

But Lin Mo directly waved his hand in refusal. "That won't do."

"Exactly, doing it yourself is where the fun is."

As she spoke, Jiang Yunlu had already taken two Australian beef skewers and placed them on the grill.

These meat skewers were all marinated and skewered in advance.

They could be grilled right away.

In raising his daughter, Jiang Chenshan always advocated for a hands-on approach. Only by doing things yourself could you know the difficulty of a task.

Moreover, Jiang Yunlu was someone with strong practical skills.

Although she hadn't barbecued much before, she knew that you had to flip the skewers frequently to ensure both sides of the meat cooked evenly.

Lin Mo guided her from the side while brushing sauce onto the skewers in Jiang Yunlu's hands.

"Ahem!" Jiang Chenshan walked over slowly from behind.

"Yunlu, how is the grilling going?"

Jiang Yunlu shook her head. "Dad, it's not ready yet. I need to grill it a bit more."

"Alright, alright, Dad will grill with you."

The barbecue grill allowed several people to grill side by side, so Jiang Chenshan simply sat down next to Jiang Yunlu.

His gaze swept over the watch on Lin Mo's wrist, knowing it was a gift his daughter had given to this kid.

If Lin Mo was only involved with his daughter, he could accept it. Unfortunately, this guy was still entangled with two other girls.

At this moment, Jiang Yunlu suddenly asked, "By the way, why isn't Qingcheng here?"

"She went to Yuling's place to get familiar with the environment. With Yuling guiding her, I feel at ease too."

Hearing this, Jiang Yunlu didn't know whether she should be happy or unhappy.

After all, with Ning Qingcheng absent, she would have more opportunities to be alone with Lin Mo.

But Xie Yuling could now take the sister-in-law route.

Sigh, so frustrating.
