Chapter 37 "Dr. Yan, it was you who rejected her..."

Personally speaking, there are plenty of people who dislike her.

In terms of public offerings, the fact that Dajiang Group's stock price has hit the daily limit for several days has made other competing companies wary.

The very first shot was fired by Tu Jiaojiao, who had stolen their own official account.

Tu Jiaojiao was already resentful when she was forced to facilitate a collaboration between Tu Family Logistics and Jiang Miaomiao because of Jiang Bainian's photography incident. Now, seeing Da Jiang's stock price soaring and boosting Jiang Miaomiao's fame, she felt even more aggrieved.

Now that Jiang Miaomiao has been dismissed, and the contract details specify that she is the only one who will cooperate with her, in short, the cooperation is automatically void.

With this, Tu Jiaojiao felt it was enough to suppress Jiang Miaomiao, so she couldn't wait to publish the details of the contract online.

Tu Dongli realized it was too late when she acted recklessly; she deleted the message ten minutes later.

However, it wouldn't be difficult for someone with ulterior motives to manipulate those ten minutes. Various rumors and gossips used this statement to stir up trouble, directly putting Jiang Miaomiao and Da Jiang Group in the spotlight.

Tu Dongli flew into a rage and, in front of Tu Jiaojiao, berated the entire operations department mercilessly.

Tu Jiaojiao is brainless, so her brothers are willing to indulge her daily extravagance and domineering behavior, but they will never allow her to get involved in business!

The operations department, which controls all promotional accounts and plans, actually handed over the accounts so easily that Tu Jiaojiao could do whatever she wanted.

"These people!" Tu Dongli narrowed his eyes and publicly instructed Tu Xichen, "Second brother, you investigate who exactly was involved in this incident. Fire all of them! Deduct six months' performance bonus from the rest. Investigate immediately!"

The Jiang Group was clearly showing signs of internal strife, and everyone else was waiting to see what would happen before taking advantage of the situation. However, Tu Jiaojiao exposed the Tu Family Logistics on her own and was dragged directly into this mess.

How could Tu Dongli not be furious?

The operations department was instantly thrown into a panic, especially the few who lent their accounts to Tu Jiaojiao. They had originally wanted to curry favor and curry favor, but instead, they ended up with nothing.

They all looked at Tu Dongli with trepidation, yet couldn't help but glance at Tu Jiaojiao frequently.

Tu Jiaojiao couldn't help but plead, "Big brother, I only issued a statement, and I told the truth without lying. Besides, this deal was facilitated by Jiang Miaomiao stepping on my behalf, and the contract price gave us too little profit. Wouldn't it be better if we didn't take it now?!"

Tu Dongli's face was gloomy. "What's so good about it? What do you know? You don't even understand the most basic contract confidentiality policy? If you don't understand, don't look at it, and if you do, don't talk nonsense! Do you know that many partners are now questioning me about why I give Jiang Miaomiao, a newbie, the lowest price in the industry, while they, who have been cooperating with me for more than ten years, don't? How am I supposed to answer that?!"

Tu Jiaojiao was stunned by the scolding and didn't know what to say for a long time.

Since they were siblings after all, Tu Xichen could only look at Lan Huazhi and try to mediate: "Big brother, let's think about how to appease our old customers first."

.

Inside the teahouse.

Jiang Miaomiao slowly munched on the fermented black bean chicken feet, and the meal took two hours to finish. She still hadn't received a single explanation from the Tu family by the end of the meal.

She smiled, paid the bill as if nothing had happened, and went home.

After the Tu family deleted their posts, many people anonymously posted about Da Jiang Group dismissing Jiang Miaomiao.

He was suddenly dismissed, and everything was handed over to Jiang Zhengye and Jiang Bainian.

What kind of people are the father and son in the Jiang family? Everyone knows they're top-notch at picking up girls, but have a lewd temper.

Insiders all know that Jiang Miaomiao was dismissed purely because Jiang Zhengye favored sons over daughters, but what about outsiders? They only think that there were internal problems within the Da Jiang Group, which led Jiang Miaomiao to choose to retire while she was still at the peak of her career.

She is capable, and even more courageous.

At least above Jiang Bainian and others.

The public is particularly keen on those employees who benefit from the promotions and raises.

This is like throwing a pebble into a mirror lake, causing a great upheaval.

The female customer scolded Jiang Zhengye, saying that if he looked down on women, he shouldn't do business with women. There are plenty of cosmetics and skincare businesses; he doesn't need another one like Jiang Group.

Almost everyone is pessimistic about the future of the Dajiang Group, which has returned to Jiang Zhengye's control.

Previously positive news has now been turned into negative news one by one.

As a result, the stock price of ginger, which had been hitting the daily limit up for the past few days, began to hit the daily limit down.

Jiang Zhengye and the shareholders were in a state of panic, and even Jiang Bainian and Jiang Zhongming abandoned their beautiful women and sports cars to stay at the company and discuss countermeasures.

In contrast, Jiang Miaomiao, who was unemployed in the villa, was enjoying herself. Occasionally, when she felt like it, she would find ways to mess with Jiang Jiezhi.

Whenever Jiang Jiezhi tries to sneak into the bathroom to play a game during a break from his busy schedule, Jiang Miaomiao anonymously hires a group of top-tier game players to relentlessly hunt down his character, leaving him utterly defeated, whipped after death, and assassinated again after resurrection...

This repeated itself until Jiang Jiezhi became terrified of games and was no longer the internet-addicted teenager he once was!

In just a week and a half, Jiang Zhengye and his team couldn't hold on any longer.

Seeing the plummeting stock price, they had no choice but to back down and reinstate Jiang Miaomiao to her original position. However, Jiang Miaomiao refused, saying, "Back then, you ignored me. Now, you can't afford to associate with me."

She gave a haughty snort.

[Jiang Miaomiao: @all, it's time to buy back Da Jiang's shares.]

[Shiyi: Received.]

[Wen Rongying: Received.]

[Nishimori: Received.]

[Mo Congyun: Received.]

Jiang Si: ...

Jiang Si had to admit defeat: Jiang Miaomiao's 2.5% stake was worth at least 300 million, but Jiang Zhengye bought it for 30 million. Now the stock price has abandoned its previous limit-up and fallen back to its original price or even downwards...

This perfectly validates Jiang Miaomiao's statement, "Do I look like an idiot who would sell stocks cheaply?"

From the moment Jiang Miaomiao created that online shopping mall, she actually wanted to ruin Da Jiang's stock!

***

Today is Thursday, 5 PM, and the sky is clear.

Jiang Miaomiao was in a good mood and brought "horseshoe crab cakes," a type of snack that is sold in limited quantities even in inland areas, to visit him at the hospital. Horseshoe crab cakes are a special snack, much like durian, and people have extreme likes and dislikes for them.

Last time, Yan Yousui served up the deadly nine-colored milk tea rice soup, so she had to return the favor, both morally and logically.

Yan Yousui is currently busy working.

Several of his fellow orthopedic doctors had no appointments that afternoon, each enjoying a remarkably quiet time. Only he was constantly busy with appointment bookings and last-minute additions, and all his patients were meticulously dressed young women.

The old drunkard's heart was not in the wine.

He's not stupid, which is why he went to great lengths to invite Jiang Miaomiao to visit the set.

The moment she hesitated, her voice trembled, and she tried to sob into a pitiful tone: "You're the only male friend I have in Hong Kong. How can you bear to reject me?"

"..." What else could Jiang Miaomiao say?

And here I am, carrying my insulated lunchbox, arriving just before the end of the workday.

She sat right outside the consultation room, peering curiously inside:

Watching the woman who was originally sitting opposite Yan Yousui, she kept saying things like "Ouch, Dr. Yan, my hand hurts," and "Ouch, Dr. Yan, my chest hurts," and then she moved her chair closer and closer to Yan Yousui without even realizing it.

But Yan Yousui pushed the stool away and said in a serious tone, "During the pandemic, people should keep a distance of more than one meter from each other! I observed that you have no external injuries to your hand. If it really hurts, you need to get an X-ray. Also, before Dr. Xia gets off work, you should go to the cardiology department and make an appointment with her. You can't delay when it hurts; what if it's a serious illness?"

"Dr. Yan, your chest hurts because you refused someone's invitation to dinner." The woman called out to him with a plaintive and tender voice, seeing how tactless he was.

Yan Yousui's hair stood on end.

Jiang Miaomiao, who was outside the consultation room, was also shivering.

Yan Yousui glanced up unintentionally and saw the person outside the door.

He almost subconsciously pursed his lips to reveal the left half of his dimple.

He coughed, quickly snapping back to reality, and looked at the woman in front of him without flinching: "If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. I'm going home." Then he got up and walked out, his long legs standing straight in front of Jiang Miaomiao.

Jiang Miaomiao shook the insulated lunchbox in her hand: "Guess what I brought you?"

"Anyway, afternoon tea time is over and dinner time isn't over yet. Even if I bring something, it won't be enough for me, so you'll have to keep me company for dinner tonight!" Yan Yousui took advantage of the situation and sat down next to her, taking the insulated lunchbox with beaming eyes.

Seeing the woman inside relentlessly chasing after them, Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but remind her, "That lady..."

"Don't think nonsense! Don't talk nonsense! Don't try to matchmake people up!" Reflexively, Yan Yousui said "no" three times in a row.

Jiang Miaomiao said "Oh" and then quietly watched the woman stand on his other side like a ghost.

Yan Yousui caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, then deliberately lowered her head and focused intently on the world of the two rice cakes in the box in her hand.

The woman, feeling awkward and resentful from standing for so long, said, "Dr. Yan, I come to see you every week. We've gotten used to each other over time. What you're saying is really hurtful!"

Yan Yousui immediately turned her head away, deliberately turning her back to him.

The woman's pupils widened instantly, clearly not expecting Dr. Yan to be so heartless. Jiang Miaomiao, facing him, saw only a resentful look in his eyes, a look of defiance that made her want to laugh.

Yan Yousui reached out and gently patted her, complaining, "You're still laughing? Don't you feel sorry for me?"

The woman, ignored and seeing them flirting, gritted her teeth and pressed on, "Dr. Yan, who is she? You can't show favoritism!"

Yan Yousui was really impatient, so she turned her head away with a straight face and replied, "This is my private matter, and it is not convenient to disclose it."

If he doesn't smile, his cold and aloof expression does indeed give him a certain air of superiority, and he can really fool people.

He got up to take Jiang Miaomiao with him, but she blocked his way.

The woman frowned as she looked Jiang Miaomiao up and down, then pouted and slumped down in a pitiful manner: "No wonder Dr. Yan treats you differently. So you look so beautiful with your makeup on, sister? Unlike me, I only put on some sunscreen at most. I'm not as good at dressing up as you, sister."

Uh, isn't this one of the top ten tea sayings on Douyin?

Jiang Miaomiao choked back a sob, "Then all you do is apply sunscreen, why are you still so dark-skinned?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yousui secretly gave her a "V" sign.

The woman choked back tears: "Miss, I only wanted to be friends with you because you're Dr. Yan's friend. But why do you sound like you're targeting me? Is it really necessary to say that on our first meeting? Dr. Yan, look at her..."

Jiang Miaomiao also glanced at Yan Yousui, who shrugged, indicating that it was fine with her.

She smiled, but her eyes instantly turned sharp: "Sorry, I'm just a sucker for good looks."

woman:"……"

"Let's go, let's go." Taking advantage of the other person's collapse, Yan Yousui quickly grabbed her and ran away.

The two went to an outdoor bench outside the hospital.

Yan Yousui breathed a sigh of relief. He opened the lunchbox and stared intently at the two light gray rice cakes inside, each filled with shrimp, egg, minced meat, and cilantro. After a moment's thought, he asked doubtfully, "Is this the famous Chaoshan horseshoe crab rice cake?"

Jiang Miaomiao nodded: "Someone just happened to bring these back for me from a trip inland. I had the cook reheat them and send them over, so they should still be fresh."

Yan Yousui smiled and said, "Thank you."

He took a spoonful, dipped it in the sauce, and couldn't help but squint and let out a soft "mmm" sound, clearly enjoying it.

It wasn't until he took his second spoonful that he remembered, "Have you eaten?"

Jiang Miaomiao nodded.

"Why don't you have a few more bites? It's really delicious." He said this with obvious heartache, clearly feeling bad that he hadn't eaten a few more bites.

"I ate one as soon as I got it, and there are still a bunch frozen in the freezer at home."

Huh? You actually said that? And so naturally? Jiang Miaomiao looked at him in surprise and nodded blankly.

Yan Yousui quickly devoured the two palm-sized horseshoe crab cakes.

After a while, he urged Jiang Miaomiao to go eat the barbecue they hadn't been able to have in person last time, saying, "How can taking it to go be the same as eating it in person?"

At a roadside food stall, amidst a group of customers dressed in various vests, shorts, and slippers, Jiang Miaomiao in a hoodie and Yan Yousui in a white shirt and black pants stood out even more among the dozen or so old, yellowed, simple tables.

I'll give her half and keep the other half for myself.

Amidst the swirling smoke and mist from the roasting, she felt that Yan Yousui was like a mudslide among her peers, utterly unpretentious and genuine.

***

Inside the Jiang family villa.

Jiang Zhengye, Jiang Bainian, and Jiang Zhongming sat upright in a row on the sofa.

Hiding at the stairwell not far away was a bald-headed Qiang, no, a bald-headed teenager named Jiang Jiezhi.

Everyone is waiting for Jiang Miaomiao to come home.

Jiang Bainian had been waiting since 5 p.m. until now, and finally saw her return. He couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Oh, you've finally decided to come back? I thought this place was too small to accommodate you."

Jiang Miaomiao chuckled: "How could I bear to leave before I've crippled your leg?"

Bathed in the menacing gazes of the three, she walked directly to the single sofa opposite them, sat down, crossed her legs, and casually rested her right forearm on the armrest, adopting a relaxed demeanor for negotiations.
