Chen Rou had a gut feeling that this young lady named Qin Qianqian must have studied acting.
Because of the respect and admiration she showed in front of Nie Rong, as well as the timely provocations of authority and the little tricks and actions she used to break the ice in their relationship, which would have left a flaw in the actions of an ordinary girl, she did it all so naturally and smoothly that even Nie Rong herself could hardly see any flaws.
But now that she was facing her, a woman, Qin Qianqian's moves immediately changed.
He stood at attention and bowed three times to her. When Qin Qianqian looked up, tears streamed down her face: "Sister Chen, please, please save our factory."
Chen Rou turned her head, and Uncle Ming quickly came over to invite her to sit down: "Miss Qin, please speak frankly, there's no need for this."
Qin Qianqian's sense of distance was simply unmatched. Sitting next to her, she tilted her head and slung her leg to the side, barely touching the sofa with her bottom, half-laughing and half-crying: "I just heard Uncle Nie say that Sister Chen, you are not only beautiful, but also gentle and kind-hearted. You are not only the number one daughter-in-law in Hong Kong, but also a philanthropist with a kind heart..."
Chen Rou doesn't like interrupting people, but this time she had no choice but to.
She looked at Uncle Ming and said, "Could you please ask the bar to give me a glass of lemonade, with extra ice?"
After Uncle Ming left, Qin Qianqian immediately asked, "Sister Chen, are you feeling unwell, or...?"
Normally, Nie Rong would never dare to provoke Chen Rou, this living ancestor.
But Qin Qianqian glanced at him timidly, her eyes full of pleading and worry. And the hardest thing for a hero is to resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Nie Rong coughed twice and said, "Arou, she is from the mainland. I love tea, and she is a tea maker. No matter how busy you are, you should take the time to take care of her. Consider it as supporting the tea culture of the mainland."
Chen Rou was overwhelmed by the girl's perfume and needed a glass of lemon juice to counteract it.
Although her father-in-law was disrespectful for his age, he hadn't done anything too humiliating, so Chen Rou didn't want to embarrass him directly. Instead, she smiled and asked Qin Qianqian, "What exactly happened?"
Qin Qianqian sniffed and said, "Our tea factory is called Phoenix Tea Factory. During the Republic of China era, it belonged to our Qin family. After liberation, it was acquired by the state and became a state-owned factory. Currently, the factory is preparing to attract investment and become a joint venture. Several state-owned enterprises in the mainland, relying on their wealth, want to acquire it, but it should belong to our family."
Chen Rou nodded and asked, "Which state-owned enterprises are interested in acquiring your tea factory?"
Qin Qianqian shook her head: "I've only heard the leader mention it, but I don't know exactly who owns it, but it should belong to my family."
Just then, Uncle Ming brought over some lemonade, and Nie Rong said to him, "That's the problem with the mainland. The government has too much power and always likes to interfere with the private economy. But in my opinion, Miss Qin is very outstanding and is the perfect candidate to run the tea factory. Besides, the tea factory originally belonged to her family, so it should be hers to take it. Arou, we must do this."
That did make sense, but Chen Rou said, "Acquiring a tea factory isn't cheap, the money..."
Clearly, she underestimated Ms. Qin's abilities.
She assumed that since the other party had gone to such lengths to get into the richest man's family, they must be there to ask for money.
Qin Qianqian replied, "Because I was born into a landlord family, I had a very difficult childhood. But in recent years, I have achieved outstanding results in tea sales. My commissions alone amount to hundreds of thousands of yuan. With a bank loan, that's enough."
Nie Rong nodded and said with a smile, "Arou, this child is just like you, a strong woman."
Qin Qianqian suddenly looked up and winked at Nie Rong: "My idol has always been Han Yuzhu, Chairman Han."
As luck would have it, just then, Mr. Nie, who had been incredibly happy lately, came home from get off work. He couldn't find his wife upstairs, so he came down to the second floor. In a memorable scene, he saw a girl who looked about seven parts like his mother trying to stage an accident.
As soon as Nie Zhao came downstairs, Nie Jiajun and Nie Jiayu followed him down as well.
But Nie Zhao took two steps back and went back up the stairs, while the Nie Jiajun brothers took three steps back and also turned back.
But Nie Rong had the misfortune of saying, "If my wife could see that such an outstanding girl like you likes her, she would be very happy in heaven."
Chen Rou interrupted their flirting and said, "So what Miss Qin wants is a relationship, right?"
Qin Qianqian twisted her hands together and said with an embarrassed smile, "I saw the news. The city leaders all listen to Uncle Nie, while I'm just a weak woman with nothing..."
Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly knelt down on the ground: "If Sister Chen doesn't mind, would you mind if I recognized you as my sister?"
To interfere in the acquisition of a large state-owned factory through city leaders is, to put it bluntly, an abuse of power. Chen Rou approached the leaders, and they helped her. If anything goes wrong in the future, the leaders will be held responsible.
But Qin Qianqian didn't pay a cent; she only relied on emotional appeal to get Qin Qianqian to do things for her.
She herself didn't know any leaders, so if she really wanted to get things done, she would have to go through Nie Zhao. But if Nie Zhao made a phone call, which leader would dare not do anything? So this girl both dug a pit for Chen Rou and presented her with a difficult problem.
As she pondered, Chen Rou frowned. But the moment she frowned, Nie Rong, who was completely captivated by the tea ceremony girl, became unhappy and reprimanded her, saying, "Actually, I could make a call, but since I've already retired and handed things over to you juniors, Rou, it's just a small matter, why don't you make a call?"
If he's really out of his mind, he should call his boss himself; that would be much more effective.
But he had publicly stated that he had already retired, and continuing to manage affairs would be tantamount to disrespecting the younger generation. He was just giving face to the younger generation.
Qin Qianqian looked up at Chen Rou again: "Sister..."
It wasn't her fault. Nowadays, she could only afford cheap perfumes. Chen Rou's nose had been spoiled to an extremely picky level in the Nie family, since she kept expensive, top-quality perfumes in her car.
