Her evasive attitude aroused the curiosity of several people.

Yu Yang crossed his arms and pressed on, "What exactly are you doing? Is there anything you're embarrassed to say? If you tell me, Cui Zhe and I might be able to help you expand your sales channels."

Jiang Xiaoli really didn't mean to show off to her friends, but she couldn't resist their curious gazes.

She pointed to the spicy strips in Cui Zhe's hand, "I sell these."

Cui Zhe held up the spicy strips and looked at them. "You wholesale and retail spicy strips? Your business must be doing well! Let me tell you, these 'Jiang Li Ji' spicy strips are delicious. I buy them almost every day. I'll definitely patronize your business next time!"

As their conversation veered further and further into rambling, Xu Xing couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you even check what your spicy snack brand is called?"

Yu Yang was the first to react, “Jiang Li Ji? Oh my, Jiang Xiaoli, you're quite the opportunist, choosing a brand with the same surname as yours. What, did you consult a fortune teller?”

Jiang Xiaoli and Xu Xing were speechless.

Jiang Xiaoli tentatively asked, "Is it possible that the 'Jiang' in 'Jiang Li Ji' is the same 'Jiang' in Jiang Xiaoli's name?"

There was a moment of silence at the dining table.

Cui Zhe exclaimed in a cacophony, "No way! No way! This is the small business you're talking about? That's outrageous!"

Anke recalled, "No wonder you brought a whole suitcase of 'Jiang Li Ji' food when you went to Canada. I thought you really liked that brand."

Wu Cui also shared a room with Jiang Xiaoli for two days. "Yes, yes, I remember that too!"

Yu Yang fell silent. "So every self-heating hot pot I buy is making money for you?"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and cupped her hands in thanks, "Thank you all for your support."

A moment of silence fell over everyone. Cui Zhe was the first to react, and he called out, "Waiter! Bring the menu!"

While ordering food, he said to everyone, "I feel that at this moment, I can only turn my grief and anger into my appetite!"

Jiang Xiaoli had no objections, "Order whatever you like!"

Anke hugged her arm, "Xiao Li, you're really amazing!"

Anke, who already admired her, instantly became her little fangirl.

Jiang Xiaoli patted An Ke's hand with a smile, "You guys are all very capable, it's just that we have different development directions. I'm just a bit materialistic, I just love making money."

Yu Yang then said something fair: "No one doesn't love making money. So many people go into business, but not many can achieve your level of success."

Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "This is the first time I've heard you praise me. It's really rare!"

Everyone at the table burst into laughter.

Yu Yang rubbed his nose. "We became friends after a fight. Didn't I admit you were good later?"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, we became friends after a fight!"

As Xu Xing watched the group chatting, he really wanted to have a private conversation with Jiang Xiaoli.

But he didn't know where to begin.

Jiang Xiaoli noticed that Xu Xing was eating his food quietly by himself, so she asked, "Xu Xiaoxing, why are you becoming more and more silent lately? Are you going down the 'silence is golden' route?"

Xu Xing remained calm. "It's alright, it's nice to listen to your conversation."

Every time he saw her, she was always so optimistic, cheerful, and full of sunshine. Xu Xing knew that the seed of his unrequited love would probably never sprout, so he could only silently wish her happiness forever.

After the dinner party, Jiang Xiaoli went home, drove to the China World Trade Center.

Under Dafu's organization, the branch office has been mostly set up, but she hasn't come to see it yet.

Dafu led her around the company, and finally they arrived at an office.

Jiang Xiaoli smiled when she saw the nameplate on the office door.

"This is actually the first office I've ever owned."

Back in Xi'an, whether she went to the main factory or a branch factory, she always used the factory director's office to discuss matters.

When establishing a branch office in Kyoto, Daifuku specifically requested that the company's general manager have his own independent office.

Jiang Xiaoli gladly accepted.

The office was decorated in a warm and inviting style, with an overall off-white color scheme that looked very classy, ​​which she found very appealing.

"Brother Dafu, did you arrange all of this? Your aesthetic sense has improved so quickly!"

Dafu waved his hand, "This wasn't arranged by me, it was Xue Bin, who works for Uncle Xiao. He came to the company a couple of days ago to talk to me about the factory design requirements. When he saw me arranging your office, he offered to help. I have to say, his aesthetic sense is much better than mine."

Jiang Xiaoli nodded. "Brother Xue has an art background, so his aesthetic sense is indeed quite good. How did your conversation go?"

Dafu reflected for a moment, "I think Xue Bin is the most dedicated of all the architects I've met. Perhaps, as you said, his professional level can't compare to the designers at those large architectural firms, but I think many of his ideas stem from the actual situation of our 'Jiang Li Ji,' which I think is excellent."

After listening for a moment, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Has the tender document for the factory area design been sent out?"

Dafu shook his head. "I was just about to show it to you before releasing it."

She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking into the distance, and suddenly said, "Don't send it anymore, just use Xue Bin."

Dafu asked in confusion, "Didn't you say their design was conventional and not advanced enough?"

"Yes, but it's crucial that we start from our own needs. Let's hire two experts in the construction industry to provide professional guidance to Xue Bin. That should solve most problems."

Dafu had no objections. "Okay, I'll take care of it."

Jiang Xiaoli suddenly changed the subject, "Has Chang Yue come to the company recently?"

Dafu had a satisfied smile on his face. "She's here, she's been a great help! Right now, besides the few administrative staff I just hired and the accountant I brought from the Xijing branch, I really don't have many capable people at the branch office."

Chang Yue really helped a lot! You college students are definitely smart.

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "That's good. Professor Tan will submit the university-enterprise cooperation plan for me next week, and we should have results soon. I hope we can find a group of reliable and useful people. But we shouldn't stop recruiting from outside. Do you have any recommendations from headhunters?"

Dafu took out a new folder. "The headhunter recommended five or six people, but I met them and they weren't very good."

Jiang Xiaoli flipped through the documents, raising an eyebrow. "Doesn't seem too good? In what way?"

Dafu scratched the back of his head. "It's probably their elite demeanor. They don't seem like they're here for an interview; they look like they're giving orders."

As soon as he said that, Jiang Xiaoli understood. "It's okay, we don't need people like that. Let the headhunters keep looking."

Dafu nodded in agreement, "I've already spoken to the headhunter."
