Chapter 210

How would Jiang Meishu know the answer to this question?

She shook her head. "I don't know either."

"If you want to know, go ask Teacher Chen."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Jiahui immediately shook his head. "Then I wouldn't dare. You don't know—" He lowered his voice, "Teacher Chen always looks at me strangely."

"I'm a little afraid of him."

Even Qiao Jiahui didn't know why he was afraid of Chen Qing, but every time he met his eyes, he would feel a little scared.

This was a strange statement, and Jiang Meishu was a little confused. "I think you're overthinking it."

Qiao Jiahui wanted to say something else.

Chen Qing arrived carrying slices of beef and mutton, forcing Qiao Jiahui to shut up. The hot pot was a slightly spicy one, with red oil boiling in a pot. The sliced ​​beef was added, and when it wrinkled, it was removed and dipped into a simple sauce.

Jiang Meishu sipped her saliva and said, "It feels pretty good."

Qiao Jiahui said, "Of course, sister-in-law, you don't know that the hot pot soup base I brought is from a time-honored Hong Kong brand."

Chen Keshan suddenly said, "Isn't it just an Old Beijing Hot Pot restaurant?"

"I remember Comrade Jiang and Comrade Liang mentioned before that they were from the capital, right?"

Qiao Jiahui was momentarily stunned, his eyes widening. "Huh?"

"Have you eaten it?"

He thought he had found an excellent soup base that would surely amaze Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun.

Jiang Meishu smiled and tried to comfort the fool, "I haven't eaten it in Xiangjiang before."

Chen Keshan and Chen Qing both understood what he said, but Qiao Jiahui didn't. He even said happily, "I told you, I specially selected these delicacies. You definitely haven't tried them before."

Chen Qing and Chen Keshan exchanged glances. For the first time, he had some different thoughts about this stupid half-brother.

This little guy is silly yet cute.

If Qiao Jiahui knew that he thought of him like this, he would probably fight with him!

After a hot pot meal, the house was filled with steam and everyone's restraint dissipated a little.

While Liang Qiurun and Chen Qing were packing, Jiang Meishu and Chen Keshan were talking. "We'll be returning to Guangzhou after the second day of the Lunar New Year. Director Chen, please take care of the movie here. Teacher Chen will help you. Jiahui also said that if you have any problems, you can go to Jiahui's second and third sisters. As long as it's not illegal or criminal, they will help you."

Chen Keshan likes dealing with Jiang Meishu. This kind of person is smart and sensible, and can arrange things in an orderly manner.

He sighed, "Okay, I'll report to you when the time comes."

"Leave me a phone number."

Jiang Meishu hummed and left two phone numbers for the other party. "One is the office of the director of Hongtai Factory. My Lao Liang is in the office and someone will always answer the call. The second one is at my home. If I'm not at home and no one answers, you can call Lao Liang's office."

Chen Keshan sighed.

After explaining everything, Jiang Meishu hesitated for a moment, "Director Chen, have you ever thought about being as unlucky as you? Is it because of your reputation that you are being suppressed?"

She remembered that in her previous life, Chen Keshan was very famous and became a leading director in Hong Kong. At that time, he was not called Chen Keshan, but Chen Jinshan.

Although Jiang Meishu is not superstitious, between the two names Chen Keshan and Chen Jinshan, it is obvious that the latter is more grand and refreshing.

Chen Keshan was stunned when he heard this. He scratched his messy hair and said, "Someone mentioned before that I was so unlucky and asked if I should change my name. They said that the name would bring bad luck to me."

"But as someone born under the red flag, perhaps I shouldn't be so superstitious?"

In fact, in the end, Chen Keshan himself had some doubts.

Jiang Meishu said seriously, "Director Chen, I want to ask you, if this movie fails, will you blame yourself for having an unlucky name?"

Chen Keshan was stunned for a while, "I'm sure I'll blame you."

Because he had indeed blamed himself before, wondering if his name was too bad.

Jiang Meishu, "Since you're going to blame me, then go find someone to calculate and change my name."

Chen Keshan agreed when he heard this. He was a man of action, so early the next morning, which was the first day of the Lunar New Year, he ran to the fortune teller's house, gave him a gift, and calculated his horoscope on the spot. He found that the five elements were missing gold but not earth. He thought, Chen Keshan, that he had killed himself.

Finally, the other party waved his hand and changed Chen Keshan's name to Chen Jinshan.

Chen Jinshan was delighted to get a new name, but unfortunately, his household registration couldn't be changed. He could only wait until the other party started working after the New Year to change it. He immediately returned to the Jinxiang Hotel and announced to Jiang Meishu and the others, "I've changed my name to Chen Jinshan. From now on, when you ask me, call me Jinshan. Don't call me by the wrong name."

"The master said that I lack the element of gold in my five elements, and the name Jinshan is particularly auspicious for me."

Everyone is happy.

Jiang Meishu was a little surprised. She found that the trajectory of history was the same as in her previous life. She sometimes wondered, is this world really empty?

Jiang Meishu didn't know. She smiled and suppressed her chaotic thoughts, "Congratulations, Director Chen Jinshan."

Chen Qing also said, "Congratulations."

Qiao Jiahui was the most carefree. He put his arm around Chen Jinshan's shoulders and said, "Jinshan, you must become Jinshan in the future."

This was said in a casual manner, but Chen Jinshan was not angry. He said cheerfully, "I hope so."

"By the way, you don't have a place to live, right?"

Jiang Meishu suddenly asked him a question.

Chen Jinshan has been living here with them for some time and has never returned to his own home.

Chen Jinshan rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "No, I mortgaged my house." Then the movie also lost money, and now I have lost everything.

Qiao Jiahui asked curiously, "Where did you live before you met us?"

Chen Jinshan pointed at his bag and said, "The day I went to see Mr. Qiao was the first day I was kicked out by the landlord."

Needless to say, Jiang Meishu and the others knew what was going on. "You've been through quite a rough time."

Qiao Jiahui said subconsciously.

Qiao Jiahui, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, said that he had never been so miserable.

Chen Jinshan sighed and scratched his head.

Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "I bought ten houses over there. If you don't mind the rough finish, you can pick one and live in it."

Chen Jinshan was stunned for a moment, "Sister, are you kidding me?"

Houses in Hong Kong are extremely expensive, and apart from relatives like parents, few people are willing to give up their houses.

Jiang Meishu, "What's the joke?"

"Just go and live there." She took out a key. "The two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the first floor of building three, you can live there."

Chen Jinshan looked at the key and was silent for a long time. "Sister Jiang, I won't take advantage of you."

It is harder to help someone when they are down than to add icing on the cake when they are doing well.

Jiang Meishu is Chen Jinshan’s relative.

Jiang Meishu smiled and said, "We'll talk about it later." Then, she turned to look at Chen Qing, "Teacher Chen, what about you?"

Chen Qing hesitated for a moment, "Second Sister Qiao asked me to go home and report to her every day."

Of course, compared to living outside, he wanted to get to know Qiao Guangzheng more. If he lived inside, he would always have the opportunity to come into contact with him.

In fact, at this point, Chen Qing didn't know why he wanted to contact the other party. He only knew that this had been his goal for the past twenty years.

Jiang Meishu looked at him for a few seconds. When Chen Qing thought he had been exposed, Jiang Meishu said, "It's good that you have made a decision."

Chen Qingsong breathed, "Thank you, Sister Jiang."

Jiang Meishu is one year older than him, so it is not an exaggeration to call her sister.

As soon as he shouted this, Liang Qiurun glanced at him and said, "You look older than my Jiang Jiang."

Liang Qiurun, who has always had a high emotional intelligence, didn't know what emotional intelligence was at this moment, which made Jiang Meishu laugh and cry. She pulled him and told him not to be so obvious.

Liang Qiurun said calmly, "Seek truth from facts."

Chen Qing was not embarrassed either. He nodded, which made Liang Qiurun look at him with a higher opinion. After Chen Qing and the others went to rest, he said to Jiang Meishu, "Chen Qing is a good person."

It is hard to imagine hearing such words from Liang Qiurun's mouth.

Jiang Meishu glanced at him sideways, "Weren't you jealous of me before?"

Liang Qiurun put his arm around her shoulders, and Jiang Meishu lifted his arm and naturally snuggled into his arms, finding a comfortable position.

Liang Qiurun sensed her trust, and there was a hint of tenderness between his eyebrows. "I may be jealous, but I know you look down on little brats."

In his eyes, Chen Qing was just a little kid, not much older than Liang Rui.

Jiang Meishu snorted, "You're the only one who knows."

"Are you trying to recruit him to my side?"

Liang Qiurun hummed, fixed her hair a little bit, and said slowly, "Since she is a talent, there is absolutely no reason to let her go."

"Just wait and see. If Chen Qing asks you for something later, just give him some convenience. It won't be long before he follows you."

Liang Qiurun is teaching Jiang Meishu how to manage her subordinates.

This was Liang Qiurun's nearly twenty years of work and life experience after he graduated from school, which he taught to Jiang Meishu bit by bit.

Jiang Meishu was stunned for a moment, but soon understood his intention, "Lao Liang, aren't you afraid that if you teach me, I will run away?"

Liang Qiurun stared down at her, "Will you?"

He could see her clear pupils, as clean as a lake.

Jiang Meishu said, "Not really." She leaned on his shoulder and laughed wantonly, "I just feel that you have taught me so well that I don't need a man in the future."

Liang Qiurun naturally raised his hand and touched his head, "This is good, this way, even after I die, you can still live a good life."

As soon as these words fell, the smile on Jiang Meishu's face disappeared instantly. She covered his mouth and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Jiang Jiang."

Liang Qiurun was covered by her mouth, but he was not angry. He just looked up at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and love, "This is not something that can be avoided by running away."

"I am eleven years older than you. I am seventy and you are fifty-nine. I am eighty and you are sixty-nine."

"I may not live to be eighty, but you will definitely live to be sixty-nine."

"So, I have to plan for your future, Jiang Jiang."

He was gentle to the core, and the moonlight shining on him seemed to be unable to contain all the love in his body, and it was revealed in an instant.

All of it was spilled on Jiang Meishu. She wasn't happy, but rather a little sad, as if she was throwing a tantrum, "I don't allow you to say that."

"Liang Qiurun, I won't allow it!"

His eyes were as red as a rabbit's, and his tone was stubborn and resolute.

Liang Qiurun laughed, rubbed his head, and said gently, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you."

But where Jiang Meishu couldn't see, Liang Qiurun quietly put his chin on her shoulder and looked into the small room.

Said silently.

He may not say it, but he has to do it.

The eleven-year gap between him and Jiang Jiang could not be bridged, so he could only prepare for the future and make arrangements in advance.

Whether he is here or not, he will try his best to protect Jiang Jiang for the rest of his life.

*

Jiang Meishu stayed in Hong Kong until the second day of the Chinese New Year. Although the property deeds for ten houses had been obtained, she had not yet had time to renovate them.

She didn't trust others with the decoration matter, so she planned to go back to Guangzhou to find out more. If it was suitable, she would bring people from Guangzhou to Hong Kong to do the decoration.

But that was something that happened to her later.

After returning to Guangzhou from Hong Kong, Jiang Meishu looked at the dilapidated place and felt as if she was in another world, as if she had returned to the countryside from the city.

"Lao Liang, Guangzhou will be great in the future," she murmured. "It won't be worse than Hong Kong."

Liang Qiurun knew that she was feeling patriotic, so he just smiled, patted her head, and went back to his busy work.

Jiang Meishu was in a similar situation. She rested for a day and when she felt better, she went to the house on Xihu Road to start checking the accounts.

Because it was only the third day of the Lunar New Year and the New Year hadn't even ended yet, no one in the courtyard had gone out to set up shop. When she came, she brought some New Year gifts, mostly small things she bought from Hong Kong. They weren't expensive, but the thought was there.

As soon as Jiang Meishu entered the room, Wang Limei heard some noise and thought it was a thief. She ran out and saw that it was Jiang Meishu. She was stunned and asked, "You kid, are you back from Hong Kong?"

"Why didn't you say hello?"

Jiang Meishu smiled and handed the things over. "I was so tired when I came back yesterday that I rested at home for a day. That's why I came to wish you a happy new year."

"Happy New Year, Mom."

"Mom also congratulates you on growing one year older." Wang Limei took the things with a smile, "You just came over, why did you bring anything?"

Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and said, "Take a look. I guarantee you'll like it."

"What?"

Wang Limei became curious and lowered her head to take something out of the bag.

Shen Xiaoju ran out, “Auntie.”

Shouting in a baby voice.

Shen Xiaoju is three and a half years old. He has a fair face, black eyes, and runs very fast with his short legs.

He came over and hugged Jiang Meishu's legs, "Auntie, you don't come to see Juju, Juju misses you so much."

This little mouth is so sweet.

Jiang Meishu couldn't help but hug her, "Auntie, why don't you miss Juju? Come and see what good things Auntie brought you?"

She took out a pink tutu skirt from the bag and asked, "Take a look. Do you like it?"

As soon as Shen Xiaoju saw the pink puffy skirt, she couldn't take her eyes away, "I want to wear it, I want to wear it."

It was Jiang Meilan who stepped in and ruthlessly suppressed Shen Xiaoju, “Wear it next month. It’s cold now, so you should put on your coat.”

Shen Xiaoju whimpered, "But mom, I want to wear it now."

"You'll catch a cold."

Shen Xiaoju was stunned for a moment, "No."

"But I'll catch a cold again."

She touched her pink tutu skirt reluctantly and said, "Then please put it away for me first, Mom."

Jiang Meishu looked at her with admiration, "Juju is so well-behaved."

Jiang Meilan, "That was in front of you. Didn't you see that you act like a little devil in front of me?"

Shen Xiaoju was not happy to hear this, and ran inside angrily stomped her feet.

Baogen, who was standing next to him, looked at him enviously. After the New Year, Baogen, who was almost three years old, seemed to slowly realize that although Sister Xiaoju was loved by everyone, he was only loved by his mother.

Jiang Meishu touched Baogen's face and grabbed a handful of candy. "Auntie gave it to me. Go and eat it."

Baogen didn't dare to answer it. He subconsciously looked at his mother, Li Cuiqin. Li Cuiqin hesitated, and Jiang Meishu saw it. She smiled and said, "Give it to the child if it's worthless. There's no need to have so many rules."

Only then did Li Cuiqin let Baogen take it, and Baogen said thank you in a baby voice.

Jiang Meishu, "So good."

After entering the house, Jiang Meilan took out the account book and said, "This is the sales revenue during the New Year holidays. Take a look."

Jiang Meilan has always been the one to take care of the accounts at Jiang Meishu's stall.

Jiang Meishu glanced down at the sales revenue. "The highest is 7,500 a day. How can it be so high?"

In the past, the best I could earn a day was only three thousand.

Jiang Meilan, "A big customer came before the New Year and bought up all the goods on our stall, but it was still not enough. Later, he went back to the warehouse to get another batch to make up the difference."

Jiang Meishu was a little shocked, "That's amazing."

After reading the account book, she said, "Just before the New Year, we actually earned 33,000 yuan. That's really impressive."

At this point, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Then my mortgage is settled." A mortgage of twelve thousand yuan a month is not low.

"What mortgage?"

Jiang Meilan asked curiously.

"Aren't I going to Hong Kong this time? Houses there are allowed to be bought and sold, and loans are also allowed. So I bought ten houses in one go." Of course, when she said the last two words, she lowered her voice so that only Jiang Meilan could hear it.

Jiang Meilan was shocked when she heard this, "You went to Xiangjiang to buy a house?"

"yes."

Jiang Meilan was immediately excited when she heard this. "How is it? How much is it per square meter? How much did you buy? Can I buy it?"

Since she knew about her past life, she naturally knew that the Hong Kong property market would be booming in the future.

"The internal price is 1,800 yuan per square meter. You can definitely buy it."

When Jiang Meishu said this, Jiang Meilan's heart was burning. She pulled Jiang Meishu to the small room alone and said, "Tell me in detail."

After Jiang Meishu finished speaking, Jiang Meilan quickly took out her passbook and began to calculate, "I have a total of 290,000 yuan in savings."

“I want to buy them all.”

Jiang Meishu, "How are you going to purchase goods?"

Jiang Meilan gritted her teeth and said, "I'll buy on credit. Our stall is pretty well-known now, and almost all the factories around here are willing to sell on credit to us."

"We'll be able to recover in just one month."

She calculated that her stall's monthly profit was between 15,000 and 22,000 yuan. Under such circumstances, it would not be difficult to repay the loan.

Jiang Meishu frowned, "Don't buy too much. Keep some money for future purchases."

"I'll buy ten sets this time and buy more later."

After hearing this, Jiang Meilan calmed down and said, "Let me think about it."

"By the way, I came here to discuss with you. I want to find a renovation team to help me decorate my house in Hong Kong so that I can rent it out."

"Do you have anyone suitable to introduce?"

Jiang Meilan thought for a moment and said, "I actually know someone, but he's a casual worker."

Jiang Meishu said, "It doesn't matter. There will be a team wherever there are casual workers. Sister, can you help me find one?"

Jiang Meilan hummed. She was very quick. She called Engineer Yao over during the New Year holiday. "Master Yao, this is

These are my sisters.”

"You want to renovate?"

Master Yao is very honest.

Jiang Meishu hummed, "I want to decorate the house more beautifully."

"I can't do that. I can only scrape white walls."

This is embarrassing.

"Do you have anyone who can do this? A bricklayer or a carpenter would be fine."

"Here are the masters who came south with me. They can do all these jobs."

"Then please call them for me. I want to meet them."

Master Yao was worried about not having any work for years and was afraid that he would lose money. When Jiang Meishu made this request, he immediately called over ten people over.

Jiang Meishu stated her requirements, "Just start with the plumbing and electrical work, then scrape the white walls and build two sets of cabinets. Can you do that?"

Master Yao smiled naively, "Don't worry, these are our specialties."

Jiang Meishu said, "Okay, I'll take you to Xiangjiang in a few days."

"What? We're going to Hong Kong?"

"Comrade Jiang, we are all honest people. The farthest place we have come is Guangzhou."

Jiang Meishu said, "It's okay. Xiangjiang is very close to Guangzhou. It will only take three hours."

Master Yao was still a little hesitant.

Jiang Meishu said, "You guys go over there to work, and I'll provide you with food and lodging."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes lit up and they all pushed Master Yao, signaling him to agree.

Master Yao was a down-to-earth man. He hesitated and said, "We are big eaters. Comrade Jiang, if you provide us with food and lodging, I'm worried we'll go broke."

Jiang Meishu laughed, "Master Yao, don't worry, since I asked, I will definitely make sure you guys have enough to eat."

At this point, Master Yao quickly breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay then."

"Go back and get ready. I'll probably take you to Hong Kong in the next few days."

Naturally, Master Yao and the others agreed.

After securing the renovation engineer, Jiang Meishu and Jiang Meilan agreed on a date. "You raise the money first, and I'll do the same. Once we have all the money, we'll go to Hong Kong."

Jiang Meilan nodded.

Jiang Meishu was very quick and raised some more money in three days. She collected 33,000 yuan from the stall and kept the remaining 3,000 yuan for purchasing goods.

Li Wenjuan received 25,000 yuan from the garment factory and also settled a bill of 12,000 yuan, leaving her with 13,000 yuan.

Liang Qiurun received 51,000 yuan, which, together with the remaining 30,000 yuan in the savings book, totaled over 100,000 yuan.

In this way, Jiang Meishu once again led his men to Hong Kong. Of course, he could not forget Qiao Jiahui, his expert on Hong Kong.

Knowing that Jiang Meishu came to Hong Kong to buy a house, Li Wenjuan also came to join in the fun.

Okay.

Including the decoration team, there were nearly 20 people at once, which was not easy to handle. In the end, Qiao Jiahui used his connections to get all these people in.

This is considered to be a smooth pass.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Jiang Meishu first took the decoration team and rented a house near the Xiangjing Building where her unit was located, and then settled the decoration team there.

Then he took Jiang Meilan and Li Wenjuan to the sales office of Xiangjing Building to buy a house.

"Brother Li, please help my sister introduce the house here."

“They have needs.”

Li Chengdong looked at them, his mind racing with only one thought: Here comes the rich woman. In the end, Jiang Meilan ordered eight units, even though the good floors and layouts were all gone. Otherwise, she would have ordered more.

Li Wenjuan asked for five sets. She had a clear idea: she wanted to have a place to stay when she came to Hong Kong. Seeing that Jiang Meishu and the others asked for more, she asked for four more sets to renovate and rent out together.

Now that's better.

Li Chengdong was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He hurriedly took them to apply for a loan. In the end, Li Wenjuan paid the full amount. She received a lot of dividends from the garment factory, and the money would just stay in the bank, so it would be better to use it to buy a house.

Jiang Meilan had a poor financial situation, so she took out a loan to buy a house.

By the time both sides finished, the sun had already set.

It just so happened that the decoration team brought by Jiang Meishu was here, so they planned to finish decorating her house and then decorate theirs together.

Jiang Meishu naturally agreed.

She asked Li Chengdong to help introduce the building materials market, and took Master Qiao and other mobile people to buy materials.

The decoration materials alone cost more than 10,000 yuan. Jiang Meishu had high requirements, so she bought them from several places, including large glass windows, solid wood boards, and marble floors. They were packed into several trucks before being brought back to the warehouse.

Jiang Meishu watched the decoration from the side, which lasted for five months. By June, all the hard decoration of Jiang Meishu's house was completed. She also chose the corresponding curtains according to the decoration color of the house type, bought beds, tables and other things, and after everything was done, she went to t.

Jiang Meishu found some flyers and posted them on the streets to advertise that her house was for rent. The rent for her house was cheap, and most of the houses were rented out in less than a week.

Most of the remaining money was eaten up by Chen Jinshan. "Many people in my crew have nowhere to live. Don't worry, they will definitely pay the rent if you give them a place to stay."

Jiang Meishu said, "That's fine, but we have to sign the contract." Just because she trusts Chen Jinshan doesn't mean she trusts anyone else.

Naturally, Chen Jinshan agreed.

At this point, all nine apartments under Jiang Meishu's name have been rented out, and the houses in Hong Kong are very scary, as they are rented according to the square footage.

A house like Xiangjing Building can be rented for four yuan per square meter. The smallest house under Jiang Meishu's name is 35 square meters and can be rented for 140 yuan per month.

A large apartment of 55 square meters can be rented for 220 yuan.

The total rent she collects from these nine apartments is around two thousand three or two thousand four hundred per month.

The rent is higher than her mortgage.

The rental-to-sale ratio is fully covered, and there is even a surplus.

Jiang Meishu was not surprised, even Qiao Jiahui and Jiang Meilan were stunned. They murmured, "Is there such a good business in this world?"
