Chapter 131 Xixi? Jiaojiao?

Unable to resist any longer, Madam Tan, clinging to a sliver of hope that she herself knew was impossible, asked the question.

"Your name is Jiang Xixi, right? Where are you from?"

Jiang Xixi was puzzled, but looking at the glittering gold thighs in front of her, she still answered as instructed, "Madam Tan, I am from Nancheng. Is there a problem?"

“South City?” Madam Tan repeated the name of the place, and the light in her eyes immediately dimmed.

It turns out it's from the south of the city. I was just daydreaming.

Madam Tan slapped her forehead, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips. Jiao Jiao's corpse was right in front of her back then; how could the thing she was thinking of be possible?

"Nancheng, Nancheng is a good place." Madam Tan sighed, not asking any further questions. But because of this, her gaze towards Jiang Xixi softened considerably.

"I agree to the collaboration on the skin-smoothing cream you mentioned. We don't need to split it 40/60 as you suggested. I've been in Beijing for so many years and I have a bit of a reputation. If word gets out that I'm petty and stingy with a young girl for a little profit, what will I do with my reputation?"

“Let’s split it 50/50! I’ll handle the sales channels, and you’ll be in charge of making the Snow Skin Cream. Given the current value and market of the Snow Skin Cream, I suggest you continue with the private customization.”

Jiang Xixi wasn't ungrateful; since Madam Tan had said so, she readily agreed.

As for personalized customization, even if Mrs. Tan hadn't said anything, she would have continued to do so.

She had witnessed a small business grow into a chain group using the combination of scarcity marketing and high-end customization in her past life. Although she didn't have much business acumen, she could still copy and apply the techniques.

"Alright, then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!" Madam Tan did not look down on Jiang Xixi or disrespect her just because she was an unknown girl.

In the short time it took to speak, he instructed his assistant to draft a contract, showing that he really took this matter seriously.

At this point, Jiang Xixi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, she still felt somewhat conflicted.

The production contract was something Mrs. Tan, a complete stranger whom he had just met, could think of, yet those who had known him for a long time did not understand this principle.

They said their relationship was so deep that they didn't need to worry about these things.

Indeed, there's no need to worry about these things, because Jiang Xixi is the one who suffered the losses, while they gained the actual benefits, so there's no need to fuss over anything.

The assistant was quick; in just over ten minutes, she handed the drafted contract to Mrs. Tan.

Mrs. Tan picked up the contract, glanced at it a few times, and then passed it to Jiang Xixi.

"Xixi, I'll call you that from now on. Take a look at the contract and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with."

Jiang Xixi took the contract without hesitation and began to read it carefully.

When your own interests are involved, never refuse out of a sense of face. Jiang Xixi suffered a great loss because of this in her previous life.

Suddenly, the room became very quiet, with only the sound of Jiang Xixi turning the pages of her book remaining.

After a while, Jiang Xixi finally finished reading the contract. She looked at Madam Tan with a hesitant expression, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Because there are indeed some problems with this contract, but these problems are all in her favor.

"Madam Tan, these terms..." Madam Tan saw the suspicion deep in Jiang Xixi's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Xixi, don't doubt it, these terms are all true. As for why? I won't hide it from you. The skin-whitening cream you made helped me a lot. Consider this my reward for thanking you!"

In fact, Jiang Xixi did not suspect that Madam Tan had any ill intentions towards her, for no reason other than that there was no need for it.

If a big shot like that really wanted to deal with her, a little Karami like her wouldn't stand a chance at all.

Since Madam Tan had said so, Jiang Xixi didn't press the matter further. She stood up from her chair, walked to Madam Tan, extended her hand, and said with a smile.

"Then, Mrs. Tan, I wish us a pleasant cooperation!"

Mrs. Tan was stunned for a moment, but quickly came to her senses. She looked at the hand in front of her and a smile flashed in her eyes.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

The young woman is quite bold; since she rose to a high position, it has been a long time since anyone has treated her so normally.

However, it felt pretty good.

Suddenly, Madam Tan seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye, and her eyes immediately sharpened.

He changed from holding to pulling, drawing Jiang Xixi's hand into his embrace, and asked incredulously, "When did you get this scar on your hand?"

Jiang Xixi was somewhat confused, and she turned her gaze to where Madam Tan was looking.

scar?

She looked at the crescent-shaped scar on the web of her right hand. Strangely enough, she had no recollection of this scar at all.

It's as if this scar has been there ever since I learned about it.

When she was little, Jiang Yurou would always laugh at herself for this.

"I don't know. I think I've always had this scar since I was a child. It must have been there when I was very young."

Jiang Xixi didn't know why Madam Tan suddenly noticed the scar on her hand, and...

Jiang Xixi felt something wet on her hand. She looked down and saw water droplets.

No, they were Mrs. Tan's tears!

Jiang Xixi was at a loss, wondering why Madam Tan was acting this way. It was just a scar; it shouldn't be this serious!

"Jiaojiao! You are my Jiaojiao!"

? ? ?

Mrs. Tan kept touching the crescent-shaped scar on Jiang Xixi's hand, and a mix of emotions welled up in her heart.

This must be her darling.

This scar was caused when Jiaojiao was two years old and accidentally got scalded by boiling water while playing outside. Her father was still alive at the time, and he got very angry about it.

Even the second son and his wife had a problem with him because of this.

Feeling guilty, he secretly consulted many doctors, hoping to remove the scars on Jiao Jiao's hands, but because the scars were too deep, he was unable to find a solution.

Little Jiaojiao didn't blame herself at all.

She comforted herself in her tender little voice, saying that the moon had fallen into Jiaojiao's hands.

Madam Tan gripped Jiang Xixi's hand tightly, her eyes filled with the joy of regaining what she had lost.

"Jiaojiao, your aunt is so sorry. Your aunt is useless. I couldn't find you all these years. You're standing right in front of me, and I didn't even recognize you. I'm so sorry, Jiaojiao, I'm so sorry!"

Mrs. Tan's voice choked with emotion, and it was clear that she was trying to calm herself down, but under the weight of extreme sadness and joy, she simply couldn't control her emotions.

? ? ?

Jiang Xixi was filled with questions after hearing Madam Tan's words.

What's going on?

Jiaojiao?

How did she become Jiaojiao again?

aunt?

How did Mrs. Tan become my aunt?

Jiang Xixi felt like her head was a complete mess. No, she needed to sort this out.
