Section 212 Tea ceremony

Jiang Xueyan suddenly jumped up: "So, Dad, you promised me, you don't have to be the heir of the Jiang family?"

"Go, go, the matter of inheritance, there is no need to discuss, if you really want to help Jiang Haoran, don't tell me good things about him, let him hone and hone!"

Jiang Baige waved his hand, and used the reason of tempering Jiang Haoran to completely block Jiang Xueyan's resignation from inheritance.

When Jiang Xueyan happily went upstairs, Jiang Baige turned his head and asked Wu Meiyi in a deep voice: "Why did you arrange for Xia Mingzhu and Zhu Hongyan to do this! What is that role of Zhu Hongyan?"

Wu Meiyi pondered for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Zhu Hongyan is Xia Mingzhu's sister-in-law, a rural woman, but this person is very greedy and bold, she dares to do anything, if you want to bring down Zhou Ziyan, then she must be, as for Xia Mingzhu, you didn't help her match, I just want to give Zhou Ziyan a two-pronged approach, so that Xiaoxue can break free from the shackles of feelings as soon as possible." ”

Jiang Baige was silent for a long time, and then said: "It's okay, but you have to pay attention, Kumho Garden is also one of our pillars, it's okay to let Zhu Hongyan find some trouble for Zhou Ziyan, but if it is done in moderation, if she completely makes a mess of the miasma, it will definitely not work, on the other hand, you try to think of some ways to create more opportunities, so that Xia Mingzhu can be with Zhou Ziyan as soon as possible, but remember, don't let Xiaoxue know everything like in the past two days." ”

Wu Meiyi and Jiang Baige are husband and wife, and they have had a tacit understanding for many years, knowing that Jiang Baige is not very satisfied with his direct appearance in Kumho Garden in the past two days to make Zhou Ziyan difficult, which makes Jiang Xueyan pity Zhou Ziyan even more and sympathize with Zhou Ziyan's situation, which directly causes Jiang Xueyan to be more rebellious.

There were Jiang Xueyan's previous two hunger strikes and jumping off the building, and Jiang Baige didn't dare to persecute Jiang Xueyan too much, so many things can't be done too explicitly.

It's just that what really annoys Wu Meiyi is that this Zhou Ziyan not only contradicts himself, but also has a dead face, Lai refuses to leave in Kumho Garden, but since Jiang Baige has given a clear plan, Wu Meiyi naturally can't resist, so she can only do it according to Jiang Baige's wishes.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ziyan had just finished the regular morning meeting, and Secretary Guan came to pick up people in person, and Jiang Baige invited Zhou Ziyan to come over for tea!

Zhou Ziyan pondered slightly for a moment, then cleaned up a little, and then went to Jiang's house with Secretary Guan.

Jiang family villa, inside Jiang Baige's tea room.

Jiang Baige was making tea, and when he saw Zhou Ziyan coming in, he only raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhou Ziyan, then nodded, and motioned for Zhou Ziyan to sit down.

Zhou Ziyan didn't ask much, and sat directly opposite Jiang Baige.

Jiang Baige's tea cooking utensils are a delicate peat small stove, the charcoal inside is burning, the container for boiling water is a somewhat blackened purple sand teapot, the teapot is not big, at most it can hold half a catty of water, although it is not big, but it is also exquisite, it is a little old at a glance, on the mahogany tea tray, it is the white porcelain teacup that Zhou Ziyan used when he drank tea last time, which is not much bigger than the thumb, and the rest of the tea utensils such as tea and tea drains are printed in red and white with the mahogany tea tray, which is very interesting.

The water in the teapot had not yet boiled, Jiang Baige took a pu fan, fanned the small stove from time to time, never said a word, and did not look at Zhou Ziyan more.

Since Jiang Baige invited Zhou Ziyan to come over for tea, of course, it is not just about drinking tea, there will definitely be something very important to tell Zhou Ziyan.

But Jiang Baige focused on making tea, and Zhou Ziyan naturally didn't ask much, just sat opposite Jiang Baige and waited quietly.

After a while, a white steam rose from the spout of the teapot, and it seemed that the water in the purple clay pot had been boiled.

Jiang Baige waited for the water to boil for a while, then put down the pu fan, took the purple clay pot off the peat stove, put it on the bamboo heat insulation mat, and then picked up the two teacups with bamboo clips, put them in the glass cleaning cup, and put the utensils such as the tea drain to be used.

Then, Jiang Baige picked up the purple sand teapot, poured the tea set with the freshly boiled water, and when he felt that it was almost over, Jiang Baige put down the purple sand pot again, took the bamboo clip, washed the utensils one by one, and put them back into the mahogany tea tray.

After putting it away, Jiang Baige scooped a little tea leaves into the tea box with a teaspoon, put them in the teacup, and then poured the boiling water in the teapot into the teacup.

After only waiting for a while, Jiang Baige decanted the tea juice in the teacup, and then poured the water in the teapot into the teacup, and then covered the lid, but the boiling water in the teapot had been used up by this time, and not a drop remained.

After waiting for a while, Jiang Baige picked up the bubble teacup and poured the second tea juice into the teacup, and all the tea juice only poured two half cups of tea, at this time, Jiang Baige turned his head and raised his chin slightly to Zhou Ziyan, signaling that Zhou Ziyan could drink tea.

From the time Zhou Ziyan came in and sat down, until now, more than a quarter of an hour has passed, and he can only drink half a cup of tea the size of his fingers.

Zhou Ziyan nodded slightly, he invited tea, and then picked up the teacup, before he reached his mouth, a sober fragrance of tea had already come to his nose, compared with the tea that Zhou Ziyan drank last time, the tea used by Jiang Baige this time was more than twice as high.

Jiang Baige also picked up the teacup, sniffed it slightly, and then took a sip slightly.

This teacup is not much bigger than a finger, Jiang Baige's sip, half of the tea juice is gone, and what enters the mouth is already very little, almost only moisturizing the lips and tongue, but Jiang Baige did not swallow the already very little tea juice directly, but took it in his mouth, stirred it slightly with his tongue, and then swallowed it in his throat in a mixed manner.

is completely different from Jiang Baige, but Zhou Ziyan picked up the teacup, poured all the tea in his mouth at once, and then used his tongue to push the roof of his mouth, swallowing the tea little by little, and then smacking his mouth slightly, slowly reminiscing about the aftertaste of tea left between his teeth and cheeks.

At this time, Jiang Baige slowly spoke: "When I was young before, I always thought that drinking tea was a waste of time, you see that this tea must be good, the water temperature must be appropriate, and the time for the water to brew must be accurate, and it will take a long time, just such a small cup of tea that is not enough to moisten the throat, it is really not worth it......"

Speaking of this, Jiang Baige drank all the remaining tea in the cup, tasted the tea for a while, and said slowly: "After a long time, I realized that the wisdom of the predecessors is really very profound, this tea ceremony is the same as being a person and doing things, you must follow the rules, you can't be too anxious, and at the same time, you can't show your edge." ”

Zhou Ziyan put down the teacup and nodded slightly, he also understood what Jiang Baige meant, in the past period of time, he was in Kumho Garden, and even in front of Jiang Baige himself, he did not flinch, it was really too sharp.

It's just that Jiang Baige knows that Zhou Ziyan doesn't use such extraordinary means, how can he go from a small staff member to the position of general manager of Kumho Garden, get closer to the senior management of Baige Group, and take a big step to achieve his own goals.

"Young people have sharpness, which is a good thing, but if the sharpness is too strong, it will also force back the people around you, including those who are willing to be close to you, in the end, you will find that you force all the people around you to retreat, but at the same time you yourself have become a loner, and even sharp spirit, hurting yourself......"

"Go, I believe that with your insight and intelligence, you don't need me to tell you those great truths......"

Jiang Baige finished speaking slowly, and after that, he waved his hand and made a gesture of expulsion.

From the time Zhou Ziyan entered this tea room, to the present Jiang Baige chasing guests, the time is half an hour, but Zhou Ziyan didn't say half a word, it should be said that Jiang Baige didn't let Zhou Ziyan say more than half a word, saying that he invited Zhou Ziyan to drink tea, in fact, it was just to let Zhou Ziyan come over to listen to Jiang Baige's words, but Jiang Baige's pomp and circumstance was really extraordinary.

It's just that Zhou Ziyan didn't bother to care, Jiang Baige asked people to take it, Zhou Ziyan came over, Jiang Baige didn't want to listen to Zhou Ziyan, Zhou Ziyan kept silent, Jiang Baige wanted to drive Zhou Ziyan away, and Zhou Ziyan got up and left unceremoniously.

It's neat and still sharp.

Waiting for Zhou Ziyan to walk to the door, Jiang Baige suddenly stopped Zhou Ziyan again: "Wait, General Manager Zhou, it's an extraordinary time, the matter over there in Kumho Garden, you have to pay more attention, don't make any mess for me, okay, go ahead......"

Zhou Ziyan is still not allowed to say more than half a word, but the words are full of strong warnings.

It wasn't until Zhou Ziyan came out that he regretted it a little, this Jiang Baige made himself suffer a lot.

When he came, it was Jiang Baige who asked Guan Huijuan to drive to pick it up in person, but now when he goes back, Guan Huijuan's figure can't be seen, but Zhou Ziyan changed his clothes in the morning, only brought all kinds of documents, and the cash hasn't had time to get it.

This hardship is not big, but it is not small, Zhou Ziyan had no choice but to smile wryly, and while calling Xu Lili, he walked back.

Just walked out of the villa area, but there was a car horn behind him, and when Zhou Ziyan turned around, he found that it was Xia Mingzhu's car.

Xia Mingzhu drove the car to a slow stop, and asked with a smile, "Ziyan, why are you here?"

Zhou Ziyan smiled: "Jiang Dong asked me to come over for tea, hehe, I didn't drive over, no, it's okay to let the assistant drive over for a while, just right, I'll go back to Kumho Garden, will I stop by?"

Xia Mingzhu immediately smiled and said, "Get in the car, I'm just going to Kumho Garden." ”

Zhou Ziyan got into the car, sat in the co-pilot's seat, fastened his seat belt, and waited for Xia Mingzhu to start the car, Zhou Ziyan said hello to Xu Lili, saying that he was already on the way back and didn't need to come.
