Once reborn, Su Jiaojiao returned to the year she was forced into marriage. This time, she no longer escapes; she calls off the engagement, fights against scoundrels, earns money herself when broke...
Chapter 353 Meeting the Daughter-in-law
"Mom, they've already delivered it, and you're asking me to send it back. Aren't you making it difficult for me?" Su Jiaojiao said disapprovingly, "I already said it's a local specialty, you can just take it back."
These two boxes of gifts are not the point.
The key is his intention.
"You shouldn't have told him I was going back. Look how much trouble you've caused him." Chen Guilan hadn't expected Lu Jingyou to come and give her anything. Su Jiaojiao didn't explain. "Okay, I was supposed to buy all this, but he bought it so I don't have to run errands."
A gift worth three or two thousand is nothing to him.
It's no big deal for her.
This time when she was choosing the fabric, she also picked out two pieces for him specifically, and planned to tailor-make a few shirts for him. This was also her thoughtful gesture.
That's good.
Chen Guilan said nothing more.
The next afternoon, Wang Hua arrived early and put bags of all sizes into the trunk, filling it up. Chen Guilan and Cai Ting had to put their bags on the seats. Chen Guilan was reluctant to leave her daughter and her eyes were red.
Su Jiaojiao was fine. She stood by the car window and told Wang Hua, "Drive slowly. Call me when you get to the service area."
"Don't worry, I'll contact you anytime." Wang Hua leaned over and said to Su Jiaojiao, "When I come back, we'll go to the outskirts of Beijing. The timing is just right."
"Thank you for your hard work." Su Jiaojiao bought several bottles of refreshing drinks and mineral water and placed them on the passenger seat for him. "For you to drink on the way."
She knew that Wang Hua was not on a business trip at all.
Instead, she went to send her mother home specially. If she hadn't been in a hurry to get the fabric for the floral shirt, she would have wanted to send her mother back herself.
"Oh, you are so polite. I will bring it myself." Wang Hua took it embarrassedly. The future boss's wife was really nice. If his boss had not been mean to Su Jiaojiao, he would have been the first to disagree.
The car drove out of Jinyuan steadily.
It merged into the traffic and quickly disappeared.
Su Jiaojiao took Ding Linyu to Wudaokou and told her on the way that she needed help: "Cai Ting won't be back for at least two months. When school starts in September, you'll be the only one left at Wudaokou. See if you can find someone reliable, short-term or even longer-term."
"When I was at the driving school, I ran into a fellow villager who was also my high school classmate. We hadn't been in touch before, but we became close during the driving lessons." Ding Linyu immediately thought of someone. "She's not very talkative, but she's quite capable."
"As long as she's reliable and dependable, that's fine." Su Jiaojiao was very satisfied with both Ding Linyu and Cai Ting, so it was inevitable that she had higher expectations for the new employee. "Tell her that during the three-month probation period, she'll get 800 yuan a month, including food and lodging. After the probation period, she'll get 1,000 yuan, plus bonuses and other benefits during the holidays."
"Okay, I'll ask her." Ding Linyu agreed immediately.
"Once you and Cai Ting get your driver's licenses, your salaries will also increase." Su Jiaojiao had already informed Ding Linyu, and said seriously, "I'll raise yours to 2,000. Then you'll be responsible for the management of the people you find. I hope we can continue this partnership for a long time."
Cai Ting and Ding Linyu are both people she focuses on training.
She must pay a large sum of money to keep him.
"Jiao Jiao, you've been so kind to us." Ding Linyu was surprised when she heard the 2,000 yuan salary. "You're so kind, how could we bear to leave you?"
"Since you're reluctant to leave, let's support each other, pull together as one, and work hard together!" Su Jiaojiao gave a proper encouragement, and Ding Linyu nodded vigorously, "Let's work hard together!"
What Lin Manli didn't expect was that she had not yet gone to see Yu Mingyuan.
Yu Mingyuan took the initiative to come to the door. She knew Lin Manli was the financial director, so she went to her office and said, "Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Yu Mingyuan, a friend of Mr. Lu. I'm in the company for a meeting today, so I came to visit you. I didn't have time to call you in advance, so I apologize for the inconvenience."
"No, no, please sit down." Lin Manli smiled and asked her to sit down. Her eyes fell on her big wavy wine-red hair, and her smile faded a lot.
Yu Mingyuan is of average height, has delicate makeup, and looks very beautiful. However, her beauty is carefully drawn and has nothing to do with natural beauty.
Moreover, the skirt she wore was super short. Although she sat elegantly and did not expose herself, Lin Manli looked very embarrassed.
Mr. and Mrs. Lu dislike women who wear heavy makeup the most, and are even more opposed to dyeing and perming their hair, so much so that neither she nor Wu Xinyue has the habit of dyeing or perming their hair.
Lu Qingqing, the only granddaughter in the family, was raised very conservatively by them and rarely wore skirts even in summer.
Lin Manli didn't like Su Jiaojiao, but she disliked Yu Mingyuan even more. Judging from her appearance, she was not as good as Su Jiaojiao...
Su Jiaojiao was wearing no makeup and dressed conservatively, nothing like Yu Mingyuan who was so charming. Not to mention the old couple, even Lin Manli was a test that Yu Mingyuan couldn't pass.
But Yu Mingyuan didn't notice Lin Manli's coldness. She chatted with Lin Manli enthusiastically and talked about the cooperation between the two families. When the topic of cooperation came up, Lin Manli smiled again.
The Ring Road is a project undertaken by the Yu family and Jiahe Group. The Yu family is responsible for the early planning, and the Jiahe Group is responsible for the later construction.
The Ring Road does not belong to the land that Su Jiaojiao photographed, but to another project.
The scale of the film and television city was so large that Lu Jingyou couldn't hide it from everyone. He negotiated the development of the surrounding areas in the name of Jiahe Group. Even Mr. Lu knew that the Yu family and Jiahe Group were cooperating to build the ring road.
Mr. Lu also knew that the film and television city project was owned by Sanyuan Technology, in which Lu Jingyou had a stake. What he didn't know was that the boss behind the scenes was Lu Jingyou.
Because the legal representative of Sanyuan Technology and Jiuzhou Cultural Investment Company is not Lu Jingyou.
The two talked for over an hour, and Yu Mingyuan asked Lin Manli to have dinner together in the evening. Lin Manli declined: "I'm sorry, the old lady hasn't been feeling well these past few days. I promised to go over and accompany her. Let's do it another day!"
"Okay!" Yu Mingyuan was a straightforward person. "Then let's do it another day. Invite Lu Jingyou to come along."
Lin Manli just smiled.
After Yu Mingyuan left, she felt very depressed for a while. Yan Xuewei was still better, but Lu Jingyou had no feelings for Yan Xuewei.
Originally, she thought that Yu Mingyuan could snatch Lu Jingyou away from Su Jiaojiao, but now it seems that Yu Mingyuan can only be a partner.
As she thought about it, she became a little worried. What if Yu Mingyuan really seduced her son away?
With mixed feelings, she went to the old house after get off work.
The old lady was sitting in the corridor listening to opera on the radio. When she saw Lin Manli coming, she greeted her with a smile: "You came at the right time. Song Ma made the red bean cake you like. I was thinking of asking Jingyou to send you some!"
"Mom, when will Jingyou come back?" Lin Manli didn't see Lu Jingyou in the company. If she called him, he would definitely be annoyed, and she didn't want to make herself unhappy.
