Chapter 86: Young and Promising
Regarding Ji Chen's arrival, Old Man Li did not show any surprise. He smiled kindly, pointed to the stone chair under the begonia tree and said, "Xiao Ji is here, sit down." β
"Old man, and me. Jian Yao stepped into the door in the evening.
Seeing Jian Yao, Old Man Li was a little overjoyed, put down the flower hoe in his hand, clapped his hands, and said in amazement: "It's really rare, Miss Jian is also here." I am really flattered that these two of you, who are not usually at home, will come to see me. β
"Old man, you are so strong, you don't look old at all. Jian Yao's mouth is very sweet.
Old Man Li changed the tea again, and said while making tea: "You make me happy, say, come to me to ask me for something." β
Hearing this, Ji Chen and Jian Yao glanced at each other. Seeing them like this, Old Man Li was even more determined, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "You two don't have to go around the bend, I don't care about anything, but I'm not old and confused." β
Ji Chen knew that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't go around in circles, and said respectfully: "Old man, I know that I can't hide it from you." Jian Yao and I are here today, firstly, to visit you, and secondly, to talk to you about cooperation. β
Ji Chen's words were so clear that Old Man Li was stunned, touched his beard, and said, "This is all in charge of Xiao Man, Xiao Ji, if you want to talk about business, you are looking for the wrong person to me." β
"I know, but I'd like to let you know. Ji Chen's face was sincere, "Old man, if it weren't for you, there would be no Ji Chen today." β
Old Man Li waved his hand, "You have today's achievements, and your efforts are inseparable, I just happened to push you." β
Speaking of this, Old Man Li seemed to think of something, and a look of hesitation flashed on his face.
Ji Chen didn't say anything, if Old Man Li asked him something, he would naturally not hide it.
It's not that he is unselfish, but he knows very well that as a well-deserved business overlord in Beihai City, what kind of vision and ability does this old man in front of him have.
Playing clever in front of him, but the class has an axe.
And he is not stupid, this kind of self-inflicted smart thing, Ji Chen will not do.
Jian Yao also didn't interject, once it was involved in business matters, she wouldn't open her mouth casually. Old man Li often said that it was a pity that Li Man was a daughter, and he felt sorry for such a big pick, and he wanted Li Man to carry it alone.
It's not the first time this kind of thing has been said, so Jian Yao feels that for so many years, Old Man Li has always wanted Ji Chen to be his son-in-law.
Ji Chen's status today is indeed inseparable from Old Man Li. In the face of this young man who has been brought up step by step and witnessed his growth, for Ji Chen, a rising star, Old Man Li is unintentionally very satisfied.
He also asked Li Man's opinion in private, and Li Man also had feelings for Ji Chen.
It's just that he hasn't found the right time, so this time Ji Chen took the initiative to come to the door, which is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
Jian Yao was almost certain that as long as Ji Chen agreed to marry Li Man, he would become the most powerful man in the business community in Beihai City overnight, and the power of Tenglong Real Estate should not be underestimated throughout the country.
But she also knew that between Ji Chen and Li Man, there was a Jiang Qing in the middle......
In fact, compared with Li Man, Ji Chen's mother likes Jiang Qing more. For the Ji family, marriage does not need to be a good match, as long as Ji Chen likes it.
So witnessing Ji Chen and Jiang Qing together, Ji's mother would preconceived that Ji Chen liked Jiang Qing, so she urged the two to be together, in fact, she has always done this.
Regarding these, although Jian Yao is a bystander, she knows it in her heart. It is inextricably linked, and it is not so easy to break through.
Because it is very involved, Jian Yao has not made her attitude clear until now.
Yu Qing, she and Li Man have been sisters for many years, Li Man likes Ji Chen's affairs, she knows it, and it stands to reason that she should help Li Man.
But it stands to reason that she is Ji's mother's goddaughter, Ji Chen is her younger brother, and as an older sister, she must respect her brother's wishes.
Jian Yao is not good at being a person in the middle, so she simply doesn't interfere in Ji Chen's emotional affairs.
When Ji Chen and Jian Yao were leaving, Old Man Li said that they would have time to come and sit often, and Ji Chen and Jian Yao said yes, but they didn't know when they would come next time.
Old Man Li's words just now were very clear, regarding business matters, Ji Chen could just discuss with Li Man directly, and there was no need to ask him.
And he also said that Li Man is now the real ruler of the Li family, and if he takes a back seat, he will no longer care about business matters.
So are they going to Riemann next?
Ji Chen saw that Jian Yao was a little restrained when he was in the courtyard, thought for a while, dispelled his initial thoughts, and said, "Why don't you go back first, I'll just go to Li Man by myself." β
"It's okay, I'll go with you. Jian Yao didn't agree with Ji Chen's suggestion, she came here, it was a big deal to think that she was looking for Li Man to catch up, it was no big deal.
Seeing Jian Yao's insistence, Ji Chen didn't continue to say anything, he drove to the Beihai Welcome Restaurant where Li Man was always there.
Riemann has said before that if she could, she would just want to take care of the hotel and earn enough money to live on, and the rest of the time, she prefers to travel, go shopping and do spa work.
But since she is in this position and in charge of the house, she will get things done. Under the leadership of Li Man, the momentum of Tenglong Real Estate is even grander than that of Old Man Li during his reign, so Old Man Li is very relieved to hand over the family business to Li Man.
Ji Chen also knew in his heart that Li Man was not easy to deal with. If you don't talk about business, it's not a problem for everyone to eat and drink, and talk about the world.
And once it comes to business, Riemann is like a different person, from an innocent and lovely girl next door to a strong business woman.
Therefore, he was also not sure that he would meet with Riemann to discuss cooperation in a while.
The other side.
Jiang Qing was lying on the bed sleeping comfortably, but she didn't expect Rose to call and say that the company had announced that Jiang Qing had been busy in the past two days.
Jiang Qing, who was drowsy, couldn't help but cover her face when she heard Rose's words. If she didn't talk about it, she would have forgotten that she was still an artist in the entertainment industry.
She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing now, and she doesn't have to earn money, or should she quit her job?
This thought just flashed in her mind, and was suppressed by Jiang Qing. Forget it, it's better to have an identity on the surface, otherwise when dealing with people, when asked about their respective occupations, does she have to answer that she is idle at home?
When did she, a witch who doesn't eat fireworks in the world, become so human?
Jiang Qing didn't know that she would obediently live according to the rules of human beings.
When she arrived at the company, Rose piled up a large stack of folders on her desk, and when she saw so many documents, Jiang Qing wanted to take a piece of tofu and kill herself.
Seeing Jiang Qing's unhappy appearance, Rose rubbed her forehead and said, "People wish that the more announcements the better, but you are a Buddhist, don't you know that this kind of opportunity is rare? β
"In that case, why don't we give the opportunity to someone else?" Jiang Qing quietly winked at Rose.
Rose: "......"
She touched Jiang Qing's forehead, Jiang Qing knew what she was going to do, so she slapped Rose's palm away very neatly, and said angrily: "I'm fine, I'm not talking nonsense, let's work!"
Jiang Qing had a resigned expression.
She looked at the document and suddenly saw something incredible, and then, Jiang Qing showed a strange expression.
"Cooperate with Su Qianyi to make a public welfare film?" Jiang Qing's eyes widened, and she watched it carefully twice to make sure that she was not mistaken, she took the document and asked Rose, "Is this teasing me?"
"It's the company's arrangement, and I can't help it. Rose spread her hands, "If not, you can mention your opinion to the people above, but let me tell you first, even if you say it, it won't change anything." β
"It's unlucky. Jiang Qing threw the documents aside, and her mood was not very beautiful.
Rose pressed her shoulder and said, "This is a propaganda campaign to protect the environment, and then we will go to the Himalayas, where you can see snow." β
"Snow is something. Jiang Qing asked for no reason.
Her question instantly petrified Rose.
Jiang Qing looked at Jiang Qing like an alien, Jiang Qing asked her this kind of question, when she was an idiot?
Even if it never snowed in the south, you can see it on TV, right? Jiang Qing is this wonderful, could it be that it came out of the countryside?
In order to help Jiang Qing popularize what snow is, Rose specially searched for "snow" in Baidu Encyclopedia, and then asked Jiang Qing to read it while giving her a commentary.
Jiang Qing is quite interested in this thing, there is no such thing on their planet, it seems to be very good, if you can experience it in person, it seems to be really good.
Just the thought of going with Su Qianyi immediately destroyed this good mood.
Rose said: "No way, that's what we do, even if you are unhappy in your heart, you can't show it on your face, so many artists commit suicide due to depression or quit the entertainment industry indefinitely, there are many such examples." β
Jiang Qing handed her a smile: "This kind of thing won't happen to me, because it's really unhappy, I'll slap the other party hard first, and then just pick and don't do it." In this world of flowers, there is not only one way for artists, this road is not passable, just take a detour. β
But human life is too short, and many people who give up halfway end up doing nothing. Rose sighed.
She used to have this kind of thought, and after so many years, looking back, the idea at that time was indeed so naΓ―ve that it made people laugh.
That lingering past, the kind of youth that does what you say, accompanied by getting older and older, has gradually gone forever.
