What can your college major do for you when you transmigrate to ancient times?
Jiang Lili and her classmates were going back to their high school to visit their teachers. However, the bus the...
In their impression, the fugitives were skinny, listless and dirty. Was this Jiang Lili?
She is fair and clean, and her manners are dignified and generous. Look at her face, it's amazing, it will definitely satisfy their head of the family who is obsessed with looks.
What's the point of putting on so much eye drops? The head of the family only cares about appearances. He Manyu and others stopped making moves.
Sure enough, He Shao, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "Raise your head so I can take a good look."
As soon as Jiang Lili entered the yard, He Shao couldn't take her eyes off Jiang Lili. She was still stunningly beautiful despite her makeup.
People who are obsessed with looks appreciate good-looking things and people, regardless of gender.
At this moment, Jiang Lili raised her head, and the light in He Shao's eyes became brighter, as if she was appreciating a work of art. When she heard her voice, she was in a very good mood: "Miss Jiang, please sit down and sit next to me."
Jiang Lili saw He Shao waving at her, and the servant beside He Shao had already added a chair next to He Shao. She was flattered and sat down next to He Shao. She hadn't said anything yet, so why was the head of the He family so enthusiastic?
Jiang Lili turned her gaze to He Lin, who signaled her to just let things take their course.
He Shao looked at Jiang Lili with satisfaction as she sat down beside her. There wasn't even a pore on her face. She couldn't help but sigh, "Miss Jiang is young and beautiful, with a stunning face."
He Shao touched her face and said, "I'm old now, and I just love to see beautiful women and beautiful scenery."
Oh my god, how do I reply to this? This is a fatal question!
And the head of the family in front of me is a real beauty, graceful and elegant, with big and graceful eyebrows and eyes.
After a moment, Jiang Lili replied obediently, "Only after meeting the Patriarch did I understand what it means that time never defeats beauty."
He Lin secretly gave her a thumbs-up and couldn't help but praise Jiang Lili in the group chat: [Awesome! Lili, you have an amazing mouth, you're so good at talking!]
Jiang Lili's words "Time never defeats beauty" amazed He Shao, and she smiled brightly.
The maidservant beside her just now also said that Jiang Lili behaved calmly and generously during the banquet. She did not gossip with others and even advised those around her not to be impulsive when watching a play.
"Show the tea to Miss Jiang."
He Shao carefully looked at Jiang Lili and said to herself, "What a wonderful birth! I wish I had a daughter like you."
Jiang Lili felt sad when she thought about the gossip she had heard before.
If we can establish a stable cooperative relationship with the He family in the future, perhaps we can ask the squad leader to check on He Shao. It would be too abrupt to say this now, and what if it doesn't work out?
Jiang Lili thought about the plan she had prepared before coming here, with a faint smile on her face: "If the Patriarch doesn't mind, I am also willing to help the Patriarch solve his problems."
"Does the Patriarch want to try to find some business opportunities in Haizhou and make the He family bigger and stronger?"
He Shao became interested after hearing this: "Miss Jiang has already made up her mind to settle down in Haizhou and do some business. Are you here to seek my support?"
"But Haizhou is even more desolate than many places in Lingnan. What business opportunities are there?"
Jiang Lili responded, "Patriarch, have you heard about the riots in Yunhai County due to the locust plague?"
Jiang Lili had heard from He Lin before that He Shao had also encountered a locust plague twenty years ago and some things happened.
"I have a bold idea. If the situation becomes unstable, the He family can use Haizhou as a retreat and retreat to Haizhou to avoid the war."
He Shao's pupils dilated. Jiang Lili's words really touched her heart.
Everyone in Lingnan knows that the He family is wealthy. If the situation becomes turbulent, the He family can easily become a fat sheep to be slaughtered.
Twenty-two years ago, a locust plague also occurred in Lingnan. At that time, He Shao was eighteen years old and had only been in business for less than three years.
She felt sorry for the people suffering from the disaster and starvation, so she paid out of her own pocket to send 700 kilograms of relief food.
As a result, before the food was delivered, some disaster victims heard the news that He Shao from the He family was delivering food, and they directly stopped their convoy and snatched all the food away.
It is really infuriating that these morally corrupt and bad-behaving mobs robbed the food they could not finish and then sold it for money, while the victims who obeyed the order and waited for relief honestly were still starving.
The belongings of the members of their rescue team were also looted clean. Some people even wanted to take advantage of the chaos to molest He Shao and drag her into the mountains. Fortunately, her father arranged a personal guard for her.
Even the personal bodyguard with great martial arts skills was seriously injured by the despicable mob that swarmed over him. He Shao was even kidnapped by the mob and they demanded a ransom from Mr. He.
Finally, Mr. He spent a large sum of money to recruit folk masters and formed a team of 100 people to work together with the county magistrate's army to suppress the riot, and finally rescued He Shao.
In the face of chaos and disaster, the dirtiest side of human nature is easily exposed. It was through that experience that He Shao realized that the turmoil could not be overcome by her own efforts alone.
The safest way to protect yourself during chaos is to retreat. Being kind will only hurt yourself.
When it comes to the unrest, people like her who do business are the target of public criticism.
We must stay away from it. If we care about the people, we can only support capable people behind the scenes to quell the unrest.
Thinking of this, He Shao was moved by Jiang Lili's words and said sincerely, "The girl's suggestion is really eye-opening."
"However, Haizhou is so desolate. If we want to use it as a retreat for our He family, it will probably cost a huge amount of manpower and financial resources."
Jiang Lili pulled out a prepared plan from her sleeve: "I proposed this to the Patriarch, and this was naturally after careful consideration."
"Don't worry, Patriarch. The amount needed is definitely less than you think, and we'll start making a profit within a year. We won't just be making money!"
He Shao only glanced at it briefly before becoming excited. "Miss Jiang, can you please go to my study to discuss this in detail?"
Jiang Lili nodded, said something to He Lin in the group chat, and then went to the study with He Shao.
Looking at Jiang Lili and He Shao whispering to each other and seeming to be having a very good chat, the head of the family left them alone and pulled Jiang Lili to the study.
The other members of the He family, except He Lin and He Jing, felt a stronger sense of crisis, fearing that the head of the family would impulsively adopt this little girl as his goddaughter.
He Manyu became anxious: "What did Jiang Lili say to make Auntie so happy?"
He Fengqing rubbed his swollen arm and said, "Isn't she going to drag someone out and announce to us that she's adopted him as her goddaughter?"
"Impossible!" He Manyu categorically denied, "She's a fugitive, how is that possible? Could it be that Auntie is going to go to Haizhou to take care of her?"
He Lin sat aside, listening to these people's conversation and drinking tea silently.
They are the class darlings, so awesome that they can’t even see their aunt for more than fifteen minutes!
