Chapter 25 She is the Mistress
This is the young lady who married back from the Baili family, and Mrs. Baili also attended the wedding. The two of them accepted the ceremony and blessings of the elders, and this wedding counts! Isn't it a little too rude for Miss Simon to treat her like this? β
Xu De's words were domineering, making it clear that Ximen was not beautiful.
But Miss Jiao was angry, and she didn't care who the other party was, so she opened her mouth and said:
"Are you teaching me a lesson? When has I, Simon Mei, been disciplined like this? β
As soon as these words came out, fear immediately appeared on Ximenyu's face. hurriedly pulled his sister behind him, and at the same time nodded at Xu Dewei, and took the initiative to apologize:
"Steward Xu, my little sister has been spoiled since she was a child, she didn't mean to offend, I hope you will forgive me."
Xu De's complexion did not change at all, but what he said was still the right one:
"Master Simon!" He also returned the salute, "The housekeeper who only goes to this Pati Manor, Young Master Ximen is too affectionate to talk like this." I'm just reminding Miss Simon that no matter how pampered you are in your own home, please remember that this manor is surnamed Baili! Here it isβ" Pointing back to Chodika, "she's the hostess!" β
Ximenmei, who came back to her senses, still didn't dare to confront Xu De, although she was angry, she had nowhere to spread for a while. Xu De is right, no matter how pampered she is, she is only surnamed Ximen. Compared with Baili, the surname Ximen is too shabby.
Seeing the two of them leave in a hurry, Qiao Jika couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then whispered to Xu De:
"Steward Xu, thank you."
Xu De shook his head and said calmly:
"You don't have to thank me, you are a benefactor, and this thank you word doesn't need to come out of your mouth at any time!" After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, and seeing that Qiao Jika had no intention of leaving, he said again: "Actually, as the young lady of the Baili family, your performance just now was very good. β
Jojica smiled wryly:
"How did I, the young lady, come here, Steward Xu knows best. I'm very grateful for your kindness, don't mention it or anything like that. Besides, I just don't want to be rude to the Baili family, but I don't really want to see them. But......" she changed her words, "since you are married, it is not a way to avoid people." I think sooner or later I will face more people and things related to the Baili family, and today is just a small attempt. Steward Xu, you might as well tell me more about the relatives and friends of the Baili family, including business. Don't worry, I don't want to know much, just one is fine, just want to know in my heart, so as not to lose face in the future. β
When she said this, her eyes were still calm, and she couldn't see how eager she was, and she couldn't see how persistent she was. It's as if these words are just a proposal, and you Xu Deai shouldn't do it, and there is no loss for her.
But it feels like this, and it is a different taste to listen to the words in the ears and then ponder them in the heart.
Xu De always felt that Jojica sometimes exuded that kind of magic that people couldn't refuse, just like that night in the Marilan Hospital, when she pointed through the glass window to Baili Night, and made such a shocking request, he didn't even think of him as a madman and rushed outside.
And in the end, she walked into the door of the Baili family, so now, as a housekeeper, he is obliged to introduce the industrial chain of the Baili Empire and the relationship between the characters of the Baili family to her.
"Young lady, please follow me to the inner hall on the second floor!" Xu De no longer stood still, and led Jojica to take the first elevator up to the second floor.
This second floor is also the whole hall, but unlike the first floor, which is open to visitors, it is completely the private residence of the owner's family, so they call it the inner hall.
Chojka sat down on the sofa, and someone brought juice. Xu De picked a place five steps away from her and sat down, and when he saw that he had drunk a sip of juice, he opened his mouth lightly and slowly said everything about the Baili family.
What the first half says doesn't deviate much from what Jojica knows.
Including the scope of the Baili Empire, including the special identity background of Mrs. Baili, and the woman named Li Xiaomu. There is also the relationship between the Ximen, Huangfu, and Yuwen families and the Baili family, as well as the celebrities from all walks of life invited to the wedding in Lacheng.
From Xu De's words, she also knew that the reason why Ximenyu and several other close friends were not invited to the wedding was entirely because of Bailiye's insistence on "smoothness" and "perfection".
And she also knew that if she notified those people, her identity as incompatible with Baili Ye would definitely be questioned. Although they didn't dare to say anything in front of Baili Ye, at least there was always a little color in their eyes when they looked at them again.
For example, Simon Mei......
In that case, before the wedding, she might not have imagined what it would be like to have a little flaw in the midst of perfection. But after meeting Simon Mei, Jojica understood that if this girl appeared at the wedding, she might not have the ability to spoil the atmosphere, but she couldn't completely ignore that attitude. If you feel uncomfortable, there will always be.
At this point, he unconsciously pulled the corners of his lips and raised a shallow smile. But he didn't want Xu De to see that she was happy because of the intimacy of Baili Night's move, so he raised the juice cup and drank it in a big sip, just covering the whole process of smiling.
Time is short, but more than an hour has passed in the quiet stream.
Xu De's words also took a turn at this time, from depicting the family situation of relatives and friends with a little emotional color to expounding the famous Quartet hegemony of the Baili Empire.
3 power plants, 5 telecommunications companies, 13 oil tankers, 21 luxury goods firms, 517 global chain five-star hotels, 2,387 supermarket chains, 5 airlines, 12 securities firms, 50 hospitals and 120 freight companies......
Countless hard numbers were thrown, and Jojica only felt that the human who could emotionally analyze the intricate relationships of the Baili family a moment ago suddenly became a computer that automatically accepted and stored data.
In addition to these, Xu De is still reporting to her about the approximate annual turnover of each company, and where in the world these companies are distributed, including their size and responsible persons.
With such hard data, Xu De doesn't need to look at any information at all. It was as if they had been ingrained in his mind and become an indispensable part of his memory. Comes casually and 100% accurately.
Chojica has reason to believe that even if it is a hundred miles of night, I am afraid that these things may not be safe to know. His conceptual understanding of his own empire must not be as good as Xu De's.
So she made up her mind, and when the other party told her these things in such a strong gesture, Jodzka felt that she had to accept it with a more serious attitude and keep it in her heart as well.
This is not a big deal, Jodika, a top student who graduated from business school, has an excellent memory since he was a child. Especially when it comes to numbers, it's extremely sensitive. It seems a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is unforgettable, but as long as you remember it with your heart, you can really remember it word for word.
Xu De naturally didn't know about her ability, and in fact, this ability Qiao Tika didn't have much opportunity to apply it before.
She lived a very low-key life at school, and her classmates never knew what outstanding strengths she had except for her outstanding academics.
And when she returned home after graduation, before she could put all her learning into her own business, Qiao's was already in trouble, and it went into decay at a very fast rate, and finally went bankrupt.
She thought that what she had learned in the past ten or twenty years would end up just entertaining herself, and it would never be possible to apply it in practice from now on. But I don't want to, today, in Bailijia, I have to use my brain that has not been working for a long time again. What was written down was the asset information of the Hundred Mile Empire that I had never dared to think of before.
"Young lady, that's all for the time being." Xu De's words stopped after introducing the name of the person in charge of the last company. Then he looked at Qiao Jika, nodded and said, "Young lady, let's have a brief understanding first, and I will ask someone to sort out a document for you when I go back, and I will remember it slowly when you have time." β
After a pause, he continued:
"Actually, I told you this, and the young master ordered it. The young master said, Madam, if you stay in Baili's house for a day, we are obliged to report to you the status of Baili's property for a day. β
She was stunned, and she was very surprised whether it was Xu De or the words of Baili Ye that Xu De relayed. After a pause, he asked:
"Why?" After looking around again, he saw that there was no one else in this inner hall, so he lowered his voice again and continued: "Steward Xu, there is something I have always wanted to ask. Although I brought it up if I wanted to know more about the Baili family, to be honest, I didn't expect you to say it in such detail. β
Jodika's questioning was not wrong, she wanted to know more about the Baili family. But it's not just about getting to know the family! As long as she knows about the financial and operational status of the business empire, she will not have any opinions, even if Xu De repeats the information that the outside world can understand.
She really didn't expect that Xu De would reveal her finances and real annual turnover to her. There are also some hidden enterprises, including casinos in Las Vegas controlled by the Hundred Mile Empire.
The understanding of this information is no longer just flattered for her.
"You and Baili Ye both understand how I got in...... "why didn't you have any precautions?" she said again. Actually, if you point at my nose like that young lady of the Simon family and call me a scheming money worshipper, I think it will be easier for me to accept it. Contrarily...... I'm very puzzled by what you're doing. β
Xu De's answer was direct enough, he said:
"Actually, I'm also very puzzled." Seeing that Qiao Jika looked at her as if waiting for further explanation, he shook his head with a wry smile, and then said: "What the young lady said is right, how did you enter this house, I Xu De couldn't understand it better." So I'm just as surprised as you are, why does the young master believe in you so much. If you want to say respect, that's how it should be. But it would be a bit risky to be unguarded and unreserved. β
