Upon arriving at the hotel, Xiao Jincheng looked around and then smiled, "No wonder Xiao Lizi chose this hotel. It was worth the long drive we took on an empty stomach."

Their hotel was located across the Seine, facing the Eiffel Tower, offering a superb view.

Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Let's stay in Huacheng for two days. Don't make yourselves suffer, okay?"

Xiao Jincheng smiled and nodded, "That's right!"

After checking in, the staff helped them take their luggage to their room, and then they went to the restaurant.

Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Jincheng sat at a table alone and chatted about everyday things.

Cao Jie ate her steak and muttered softly, "I'm really hungry. This steak tastes much better now."

Hearing her words, Ye Tang couldn't help but purse her lips. "This is one of the most famous hotel restaurants in Huacheng. The food must be delicious."

Cao Jie pretended not to hear her and continued chatting with Dai Guangbin, "I'm starting to miss Aunt Quan's braised chicken feet with black bean sauce. Binzi, do you still have any snacks you brought from China?"

Dai Guangbin shook his head decisively, "No, no."

Cao Jie persisted, "Binzi, share some with me, and when we get back to China, I'll arrange for Tingting to have dinner with you!"

"Really?" Dai Guangbin hesitated.

Tingting is the girl Dai Guangbin has always liked, and Cao Jie is her best friend.

She chuckled and said, "Binzi, how do you plan to bribe me?"

Dai Guangbin gritted his teeth. "I still have two packs of boneless chicken feet from 'Jiang Li Ji,' which I just bought in Chongqing."

Cao Jie slapped him on the shoulder, "Well, you sneaked out to buy snacks without telling me when you were in Chongqing!"

He explained, "It's temporary! I'm just accompanying President Xiao!"

After dinner, they returned to their respective rooms. Just as Jiang Xiaoli was about to brush her teeth, Cao Jie arrived with boneless chicken feet that she had scavenged from Dai Guangbin.

"Chairman Jiang, I'd like to share with you how wonderful it is to be able to enjoy 'Jiang Li Ji' products abroad!"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled, "Jiang Li Ji has already entered most European countries. If you want to try it, find a local Chinese supermarket tomorrow and buy a couple more packs."

Cao Jie's eyes lit up with joy. "Chairman Jiang, does this count as us investigating the company's overseas markets?"

She couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Cao Jie, you're improving so quickly!"

Cao Jie chuckled, "I've just been around you for so long and I've picked up this from what I've seen and heard!"

Jiang Xiaoli encouraged him, "Keep up the good work! If you can help Zhu Han with some of the work, I'll give you a raise!"

It wasn't that she disliked Zhu Han; it was just that her position as a special assistant seemed to be cursed.

The first special assistant, Li Anting, is now the president and head housekeeper of the "Jiang Group".

Her second special assistant, Zhu Han, is becoming more and more capable, to the point that she feels it's a waste to have such a person as her special assistant.

Whether for the company's development or for Zhu Han's personal career planning, she felt it was time to cultivate a new special assistant.

Cao Jie, who had been her bodyguard all along, was quick-witted and resourceful, but lacked professional skills.

If this shortcoming can be addressed, then she would be the most suitable candidate for special assistant.

Upon hearing her words, Cao Jie quickly waved her hand, "No, no, Chairman Jiang, I can't do it. I don't understand any of Zhu Han's work..."

Jiang Xiaoli naturally wouldn't force anything. She simply said, "Cao Jie, you joined the army at a very young age, and you're only 25 now. When you get older, younger people with better physical strength and stronger combat capabilities will be able to easily replace you."

"What kind of job do you plan to do then? You can think about my suggestion. It's just a small suggestion, and I respect your personal wishes. If you're willing to learn, I can have Zhu Han and the others teach you."

A warm feeling welled up in Cao Jie's heart, and she opened her mouth, "Chairman Jiang..."

She hesitated for only a short time before saying, "Chairman Jiang, I'm willing!"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Have you thought it through? Your original foundation wasn't very strong, so you'll need to work very hard to be competent in this job."

Cao Jie smiled confidently, "Chairman Jiang, what I'm least afraid of is hard work and enduring hardship. I know you're doing this for my own good, and I'm willing to give it my all!"

Jiang Xiaoli looked at her and nodded appreciatively, "Okay, when we get back to China, I'll have Zhu Han arrange your study plan."

...

The next day, Monday, Jiang Xiaoli called Zong Jiayu and chatted for a while after getting up in the morning. Then she went downstairs and had breakfast with the others.

To their surprise, the "Fisos" brand, which had arranged to meet them that day, sent two cars to pick them up from the hotel.

This was a treatment they hadn't received even in Chongqing.

On the way, Xiao Jincheng said happily, "Little Pear, it seems that 'Fisos' has a very strong interest in cooperating with us!"

Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "It seems so at the moment, but everything is just talk before a contract is signed. Let's talk about it in person first."

Upon arriving at "Fisos", they were greeted by the brand's vice president, Laun.

Lauen was very enthusiastic, "Miss Jiang, Mr. Xiao, welcome!"

He then praised her, "Miss Jiang, you are just as beautiful as Macaulay described!"

Now Jiang Xiaoli finally understood why Lao En was so enthusiastic.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. It seems I should thank Mr. Macaulay properly."

With a smile, Lauen led them to a reception room. He shook his head. "To be honest, Ms. Jiang, it was the marketing plan that McCauley sent me that attracted me. Can't you really show us the follow-up content?"

Jiang Xiaoli chuckled lightly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lauen, the marketing plan for 'Jinghua Center' is indeed our trade secret. We will not disclose it to any outsiders before the official launch of the marketing campaign."

"That's such a pity," Laun said regretfully.

He paused for a moment and then said, "However, I am still willing to join your shopping mall, which stems from my trust in Ms. Jiang!"

Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Mr. Lauen, thank you so much. You will definitely not be disappointed in choosing us."

Laun nodded. "I hope so."

After listening to Dai Guangbin's translation, Xiao Jincheng also spoke up, "Mr. Lauen, on behalf of 'Jinghua Center,' I welcome your brand to set up shop here!"

Laun smiled, stood up, and shook hands with him. "I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration. I will have my subordinates discuss the details with you. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
