CHAPTER XXII
Jiang Hua looked at his son and felt a little relieved: "If you were so attentive earlier, wouldn't you have come out early?" Remember, sooner or later, the Jiang family's career will be in your hands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoDon't just think about spending all day drinking, doing nonsense. Your father is very old, and he has to work for you all day. ā
"Yes, yes. You see, I'm not very careful. Jiang Dewen agreed casually. He looked at Jiang Hua rubbing his eyebrows, looking very tired, and asked, "It's rare for you to come back so early, why don't you rest early." ā
"Well, I do." Jiang Hua let out a long sigh: "In this world, it is not easy to do anything. Do you think that every day when you lie in bed, the silver falls from the sky? It's not all your dad who worked hard to earn it. ā
Jiang Dewen said with a smile: "That's not because you have the ability. Besides, this money is enough, and you should also enjoy it, busy all day long, when is it a head. ā
"Enough? What does it mean to be sufficient? Jiang Hua's eyes widened: "There are dozens of people in the family!" How much money is not enough! Look at your head-to-toe look, this gold watch, this suit, this leather shoe belt, which one will be given away for nothing without money? ā
"Okay, okay, can't I be wrong?" Jiang Dewen hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Aren't I afraid that you will be tired of your body?" ā
"I'm not afraid to be tired, your father's body can still bear it. It's just ......" Jiang Hua sighed again: "There are too many things to worry about!" ā
Jiang Hua looked at his son, knew that it was useless, and shook his head: "Forget it, it's none of your business." Leave me alone. He closed his eyes slightly, leaning back on the back of the Taishi's chair.
Jiang Dewen tiptoed out, expecting that his father Zuo was just in some trouble in business. Only ten steps away, he completely threw himself away.
But Jiang Hua's side has been frowning and worried. What really worries him is the affairs of the Chinese Commercial Gauze Exchange.
Originally, the establishment of the exchange was to resist the control of the cotton product market by Japanese businessmen and to regulate the daily trading behavior of Chinese businessmen. The exchange was set up by a number of cotton tycoons in Shanghai, including himself and Rong Zixiao's father, Rong Bin.
In the early days of the establishment of the exchange, it did do some practical things for the benefit of the country and the people, and also made a lot of contributions to Shanghai's cotton products business. However, although the wish is good, the situation is gradually not good, and many things change as we walk. The Japanese will not give up easily when it comes to making money. In futures trading, the shadow of Japanese traders is always shown, and they always want to get a piece of the pie.
The position of supervisor of the exchange, which was originally held by Rong Bin, was left vacant by his death. This position, although there may not be any oil and water, but the power it holds is enough to make people's eyes blue. There are a lot of people who are eyeing this position now. And the most tricky of them is Zhang Xiaolin, the leader of the Green Gang. He showed a keen interest in the position, which seemed to be inevitable.
Since Zhang Xiaolin gained absolute control of the Green Gang, he has been tyrannical and arrogant in Shanghai. The most shameful thing is that he is helping the Japanese to purchase military supplies and make a fortune. News had already come out that he sent the disciples of the Qing Gang to buy a large amount of coal in the surrounding areas of Shanghai. And his acquisition method is also very peculiar, in addition to forcibly lowering the price, he even sent people to bring weapons, and robbed them if they didn't sell them, no different from robbers. The coal he collected was given to the Japanese military by filial piety, which was appreciated by the Japanese, and he also earned a lot of difference from the middle. This time, he had to be this supervisor to meddle in the business of the gauze exchange, I am afraid it is also related to the need for cotton products by the Japanese army. Once he really sat in this position, it would be even more difficult for the Japanese to interfere in the Shanghai cotton product market.
After hearing that Zhang Xiaolin was interested in the post of supervisor of the exchange, many people ran to him, the director, to express their opposition. But opposition is opposition, Zhang Xiaolin is a ruthless master who can kill people and destroy the door, who dares to reject him openly? But once he agreed, the China Commercial Exchange mixed in a supervisor with a Japanese military background, and the reputation of the exchange for so many years was completely ruined.
Jiang Hua is really at a loss for this matter. After thinking about it left and right, I can't come up with a solution that can get the best of both worlds. He stood up and went to the window, opened it, and unbuttoned the collar of his coat to let himself breathe. But just as I was looking out the window, my daughter was approaching. I think she had just come from the flower room, holding a few brightly colored branches in her hand. With a pure face, a plain white cheongsam, and a slender figure, she is like a fairy under the moon.
Jiang Hua remembered his son's words just now, and only felt that he had not raised such a beautiful daughter in vain. Thinking of the Rong family and the problems he encountered, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought about it.

Three days later, one evening, Jiang Yuerong was picking out perfume at the perfume counter of Yongan Department Store. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw Rong Zixiao walking towards her. He was dressed in an apricot slim suit with a dark tie, and he was indescribably handsome and chic. Although he was still far away, he could see that he was full of smiles, warm and dazzling, like a shining and soft light cast by the sun in the early morning.
Jiang Yuerong couldn't help but smile: "Why did I meet you here at this time?" Already off work? ā
The corners of Rong Zixiao's mouth curved into a good-looking arc: "What do you say?" ā
"How do I know?" Jiang Yuerong said, but she immediately reacted: "Someone told you that I am here?" ā
Seeing that Rong Zixiao did not deny it, Jiang Yuerong's expression couldn't help but darken. She lowered her head, still patiently listening to the saleswoman's explanation, but she was obviously a little absent-minded.
Rong Zi Xiaoqi said: "What's wrong? Seems to be suddenly upset? ā
"Nope." Jiang Yuerong smiled reluctantly: "Originally, my mother asked me to come here, but she wouldn't come if I thought about it." ā
"If she doesn't come, you can buy her back." Rong Zixiao said: "Isn't there still me here?" I'll pick it for you. He asked with interest, "Which one does your mother like?" ā
"I'm not sure either." Jiang Yuerong said wistfully.
"French perfume is better, highland or creemi; If your mother is more supportive of domestic products, I have seen the billboard of Zhenzhen Zhilan. ā
The salesman smiled on the side: "Mr. is right. These brands are really popular. ā
Seeing that Jiang Yuerong was silent, Rong Zixiao said again: "As for the fragrance, at your mother's age, don't choose one that is too strong, but it must be long-lasting...... How about this bottle, it seems to taste good, and the bottle shape is quite unique. ā
Jiang Yuerong said with a smile: "I didn't expect the third young master to be so good at perfume?" ā
"When your mother and sister always ask you to be a driver and bodyguard when you go shopping, I can do not only perfume, but also other women's things." Rong Zixiao generously admitted: "It's just that I still like the taste of you the most." The various scents here can't hide the smell on your body. Which fragrance do you use? After speaking, he really took a step forward, approached Jiang Yuerong's side and sniffed gently.
