Jiang Zhi's expression remained somewhat cold and hard.
"That's exactly what I mean, you've never seen an elephant before!"
Xiao Liu was puzzled and paused for a moment.
He's seen elephants before!
Didn't they go to the zoo together when they were little?
A few seconds later, Xiao Liu suddenly understood.
I understand, Master Zhi is saying he doesn't recognize elephants!
He must have ruined his plans!
In an instant, Xiao Liu was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't mean to disturb him. He doesn't have eyes that can see a thousand miles and know what Master Zhi is doing, so you can't blame him!
Master Zhi is unhappy right now, so this matter is probably going to fall through.
Despite having this premonition, Xiao Liu still mustered up the courage to speak.
He really didn't want to stay by Cheng Ling's side anymore.
“Master Zhi… I… have something I want to discuss with you.”
"explain!"
"I...when are you going to transfer me back? I've been Cheng Ling's assistant for so long!"
"I think you're doing a good job, so there's no need to keep transferring you. Just keep up the good work."
"Master Zhi, I..."
"Why don't you go mining? I think mining suits you quite well."
In an instant, Xiao Liu's throat felt like it was being choked, and he lost his voice.
Choosing between the two is not a good option.
Jiang Zhi urged, "What's your opinion? Do you still want to change jobs?"
Xiao Liu smiled wryly.
Although he didn't want to stay by Cheng Ling's side, he had no other choice. Staying in Haicheng was better than mining!
"Then... I'll just stay as an assistant. I don't have the energy to mine."
"Even you've become silly; it turns out it's contagious!"
"Master Zhi, that's why you should give me a hand! Transfer me back as soon as possible!"
"I think you and Cheng Ling are a good match."
"Master Zhi, you're not a matchmaker, so don't try to set people up randomly."
“I’ve always had good judgment. Your unwillingness to stay by her side shows that you have something to hide.”
"Nothing's up! Pretend I said nothing, I'm hanging up."
...
Jiang Zhi didn't say anything, and Xiao Liu hung up the phone.
Qiao Chu looked at Jiang Zhi and smiled.
"Honey, are you really going to try and match Xiao Liu and Cheng Ling up?"
"Does he have that kind of luck? How could I let a general you've trained ruin his career? Let him stay a few more days."
"You're wise enough to know your place; how could my general be so easily harmed?"
Jiang Zhi put his arm around Qiao Chu and continued to accompany her on her walk.
“Honey, I know what’s important. Cheng Ling is on the rise, and you’re planning to have her walk the main runway for next fall/winter’s collection. Right now, it’s not appropriate for her to be involved in any scandals.”
“Although I have influence, it’s only been a few years. The fashion industry undergoes major changes every year, so we need to prepare in advance. Especially after having children, some of my energy will be focused on them, and I want to spend more time with them. There will be things I can’t take care of, and that’s when I have to let go.”
"I understand, and I support you."
"Taking advantage of next year's autumn/winter fashion show, I want to make Cheng Ling a real star and establish her in the fashion world."
"Honey, you've worked so hard, and I feel sorry for you. I don't want you to be so tired. After Christmas, we'll be shooting a promotional video and doing street photography. I'll go with you."
"Great! With my husband by my side, I feel much more at ease."
"Let's have dinner with Grandpa and the others on Christmas Day, and invite Dad and the others too. Also, invite Nangong Jin's family, and Luo Luo and the others as well."
"OK!"
"I'll tell Grandpa tomorrow."
“I offered to make them a kiln, but they wouldn’t listen. I just wanted to smell the fragrance.”
Jiang Zhi looked at Qiao Chu.
Qiao Chu smiled in a roguish way.
"I have a way to satisfy your craving; you can join in the fun."
"Honey, don't just try to appease me!"
"Don't worry, I couldn't bear to see you sad."
"Alright, I'll remember what you said tonight."
******
Yang Lijuan opened the Christmas gift box sent by Joe.
Rong Yan was also watching from the side.
"Mom, I really don't understand you. What's so great about Joe's stuff that you actually went and bought it? If you want clothes or bags, I can design them for you. The Rong Group has the latest styles, and we also have limited editions that can be exclusively for you."
Yang Lijuan, however, did not think so.
Upon closer inspection, Qiao Chu indeed resembled Zhou Kaiyun in her younger days.
This woman is truly talented, just like a young Zhou Kaiyun.
Zhou Kaiyun is also very talented and intelligent.
"Yan Yan, it's not just about disliking Qiao Chu; you should learn from her way of dealing with people. Enemies can also be friends. The fewer enemies you have, the fewer entanglements you have. You should also learn how she wins people over; her generosity and shrewdness are admirable. In business, being rigid and sticking to old rules will not bring you any benefits."
"Mom, are you possessed too?"
“I’m trying to reason with you, why can’t you listen? Yan Yan, learn from this. Even if it’s an enemy, you can still learn from their strengths.”
"Because Qiao Chu, that bitch, doesn't deserve it."
Yang Lijuan rolled her eyes at her daughter and didn't bother to say anything more.
She visited JOE's flagship store a few times and even met Qiao Chu. The money she spent wasn't wasted; she at least got a general idea of Qiao Chu's background.
This young man is capable; he's definitely not a good-for-nothing.
She deserves to be cherished and protected by both the Jiang and Qiao families.
Zhou Kexin was no match for her; she never underestimated Zhou Kaiyun.
If it weren't for a stroke of luck, she wouldn't have been able to get Zhou Kaiyun to go abroad.
Otherwise, the Rong Group would have belonged to someone else long ago.
