Chapter 162: Making Good Tea
Because Li Beiting was in the wrong, he couldn't refute and was even prepared to be harassed and taught a lesson.
Jiang Yao couldn't stand it any longer and changed the subject: "Uncle, how come you're here by chance? You must be exhausted from the journey. Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a while?"
Jiang Haozhe's eyes softened upon hearing his niece's concern. "It's okay. I was planning to come here to discuss an artificial intelligence patent—"
"Is Mr. Jiang talking about the patent of Xingqi Robot?" Li Beiting suddenly interrupted.
Jiang Haozhe was slightly stunned, with an expression of surprise, "You know?"
"Yes, this software was developed by our company, Liheng Group."
Li Beiting's face regained its composure. "If Mr. Jiang is interested, why not sit down and discuss it in detail?"
"Okay, so you are the president of Liheng. You hid it well enough!"
Jiang Haozhe was indeed intrigued. After sitting down, he wanted to test the waters, but Li Beiting was very open and enthusiastic. In the end, he even offered to hand over the project patent to Jiang Haozhe.
The defensive look on Jiang Haozhe's face had long since disappeared, and he chatted with him for a long time with a smile.
Jiang Yao, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but take out his phone and sent him a message: [You are really willing to give up such a big project patent! ]
When Li Beiting received the news, he looked in her direction and a tender smile flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Yao felt inexplicably embarrassed and subconsciously lowered her head, only to see his reply: [For you, there's nothing I'm reluctant to do.]
Jiang Yao's face became even hotter now, and he couldn't help but pick up the tea on the table and take two sips.
"cough--"
Jiang Haozhe saw the two of them flirting with each other.
He immediately cleared his throat and warned, "Mr. Li, just because I'm discussing the project with you doesn't mean I'm forgiving what you did in the past!"
"I understand. It was my fault before. I will make it up to Yaoyao in the future." Li Beiting quickly admitted his mistake.
"There's no need to make amends."
Jiang Haozhe wouldn't give him a chance, he leaned over and patted him on the shoulder, "From now on, we're brothers. We're the same age and seniority anyway, so just tell me the truth."
Li Beiting, however, looked very humble and even did not hesitate to lower his generation.
"Boss Jiang, you are my elder. Whether in terms of age or experience in the business world, I still have a lot to learn from you."
Jiang Haozhe's forehead twitched violently.
Listening to the back-and-forth between the two, Jiang Yao felt both helpless and amused.
She had nothing to do, so she simply sat aside, took out the black tea that Li Beiting had sent her last time and started to make tea.
Li Beiting was originally arguing with Jiang Haozhe using words.
When I turned around, I saw Jiang Yao stretching out her fair hands, skillfully warming the pot and scalding the cup. Her technique was smooth, and her every move exuded elegance and tranquility. Under the light, her already beautiful face was even more gentle.
For a moment, he couldn't take his eyes off it.
Jiang Haozhe saw this and was also surprised, "Yaoyao, you can also make tea?"
“I learned a little bit before.”
Jiang Yao's fingertips moved lightly between the teapot and the teacup. He accurately took a handful of tea leaves and gently put them into the pot.
The boiling water pours down, and the fragrance of tea fills the air, which is fresh and rich.
Jiang Yao knew that his uncle was very similar to his grandfather and loved drinking tea, so he took the initiative to bring a cup to him and said, "Uncle, try it."
Jiang Haozhe picked it up and took a sip. The tea soup rolled on the tip of his tongue, sweet and long-lasting, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste.
"Okay, this is really well brewed, not inferior to those made by professional masters at all. My Yaoyao really knows everything."
He was generous with his praise.
Li Beiting came back to his senses after hearing this and took the initiative to invite: "Mr. Jiang, since you love tea, why don't I take you to visit the Jinming Tea House which I own some other day?"
Jiang Haozhe looked surprised and asked, "Are you talking about the Jinming Tea House that was auctioned off for a huge price a while ago?"
This tea house is very well run and has a great reputation throughout the country.
If the owner of the tea house had not been seriously ill, it would have been impossible to resell it.
He also wanted to take a picture at that time, but unfortunately he was one step short. Unexpectedly, it was photographed by Li Beiting.
"Yes, if Mr. Jiang likes it, I can sell the teahouse to you at the original price." Li Beiting said without hesitation.
Jiang Haozhe's eyes widened in an instant, overjoyed, but he still hesitated and said, "How can I be so embarrassed!"
"The teahouse should be managed by someone who understands tea. Besides, I'm not giving it to you for free. I'm just selling it to you at the original price. I can invest. I believe that under the leadership of President Jiang, the teahouse will definitely reach even greater heights."
Li Beiting was neither overly flattering nor did he say things that made sense.
Jiang Haozhe was in a good mood. "Okay, good boy, just wait for me! I'll go upstairs and get a bottle of fine wine from my collection to celebrate. We won't go home until we're drunk——"
He said and got up and went upstairs.
Jiang Yao stared in amazement at Li Beiting's tricking people into running around in circles, not knowing whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
"You're really good at playing to someone's liking, aren't you? You really want to please my uncle!"
Jiang Yao looked at him with smiling eyes.
"I'm not trying to please you, it's completely sincere." Li Beiting said seriously.
"Really?" Jiang Yao twitched his cheek and asked with interest, "Then why didn't you agree if he recognized you as his brother?"
Li Beiting narrowed his eyes, and suddenly leaned closer, with a sharp edge hidden between his handsome eyebrows.
"Why do you say that? You really don't know?"
He was so aggressive that Jiang Yao's ears felt hot. He looked away in panic and said vaguely, "How would I know?"
"Then..." Li Beiting changed the subject and asked, "Do you want me to recognize him as my brother?"
Jiang Yao was slightly stunned.
"If you want me to agree, I..." Li Beiting stopped talking here.
Jiang Yao subconsciously looked up at him and happened to see a flash of sadness in his eyes.
At this moment, my heart felt like it was pricked by a needle, and it hurt slightly.
She spoke subconsciously: "I, I didn't ask you to agree."
As soon as he finished speaking, a smile quickly appeared in Li Beiting's eyes.
"Even if you want to, I won't agree. After all, I'm very persistent. If I want something, I'll do my best to get it and won't give up until I achieve it."
His voice was low and firm.
Jiang Yao understood the deep meaning of his words, her cheeks flushed instantly, and her heartbeat accelerated rapidly.
"thump"……
"thump"……
She almost felt like she was going to jump out of her chest.
Fortunately, at this time, Jiang Haozhe came down with a glass of wine, "Come on, good brother, let's drink——"
Jiang Yao quickly stood up, went to the kitchen to get a few wine glasses, poured two glasses for them, and picked up one for himself.
He swallowed the cold liquid down his throat, as if it could cover up the heat on his face.
"This girl is too heroic."
Seeing that she drank it all in one go, Jiang Haozhe also drank a glass with Li Beiting.
"Come on, good brother, I'm in a good mood tonight, let's have a few drinks."
