Chapter 27 "Dad, if this continues, you..."
Jiang Zhengye had not yet returned home at this time.
Finally, Jiang Miaomiao looked down at the pendant beside her legs with a kind expression: "Will you let go or not?"
"I won't let go, no matter what!" Jiang Bainian shook his head miserably.
Giving up now would be pointless and you'd only get beaten up for nothing!
Despite his physical hardships, his spirit remained unbroken!
Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but squat down, looking at the face that was tilted back, and asked curiously, "We're clearly twins, but not only are our genders reversed, but our personality traits are also reversed?"
One is tough, the other is soft.
"As a human being, can't you give me a way out?" Jiang Bainian raised his eyebrows and glared at him, giving him a pleading look.
Jiang Miaomiao thought for a moment, "Then you owe me a favor?"
"Fine!" Jiang Bainian gave in.
Jiang Miaomiao then asked, "Also, what kind of contact have you had with Tu Jiaojiao recently?"
“No! It was the afternoon I was discharged from the hospital a while ago. She inexplicably said she was visiting me at home on behalf of the Tu family, making it seem like we knew each other…” Jiang Bainian answered subconsciously, then suddenly realized: “So that’s when Tu Jiaojiao secretly ran into the study to take pictures of the household registration book?”
"So Old Jiang keeps the household registration book in the study?" Jiang Miaomiao said thoughtfully. "I remember there's a security camera in the study."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Bainian immediately let go, even spitting out a disgusted "Pui!" His expression instantly changed: "That old man can tell from the surveillance footage that it wasn't my fault! I take back the favor I owed you."
"...You want to destroy the bridge before you've even crossed the river? You're really asking for trouble." Jiang Miaomiao clicked her tongue, slapped his head hard, and then turned and walked towards the stairs.
not good!
Jiang Bainian realized that she wanted to get to the study to retrieve the surveillance footage first, so he quickly got up and overtook her.
Then, "My back hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" he cried out as he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
Jiang Miaomiao withdrew her hand in disgust, frowning deeply: "What a tragic case of too much joy."
Butler Xun came running at the sound and expertly touched his waist: "Your bones are dislocated. Second Young Master, you mustn't move around now."
Jiang Miaomiao asked doubtfully, "You can get dislocated just from falling down three steps? Your back must be really fragile."
Jiang Bainian, enduring the pain, said urgently, "Who said that? I can handle seven women at night without any problem. It's just that you kicked me a while ago and I still have some aftereffects!"
Jiang Miaomiao chuckled: "Seven women at night? Do you think you're some kind of goddess who grants children?!"
Jiang Bainian glared angrily: "Bullshit! Don't you know to wear condoms and carry medication when you're out in the game?"
Having learned from her ex-boyfriend Sui Yupeng's experience, she said with a wry look in her eyes, "Jiang Bainian, if you walk on the dark side too much, you're bound to run into a ghost eventually."
Jiang Bainian rolled his eyes.
Stop cursing him!
He has no taboos!
Seeing that they had finished talking, Butler Xun immediately told the driver, Lao Geng, to help Jiang Bainian to the hospital. But before leaving, Jiang Bainian finally remembered his business and, in a last-ditch effort, reached out to Jiang Miaomiao, "Negotiations restart! I'm willing to owe you a favor!"
"Hehe." These two brief words conveyed Jiang Miaomiao's disdainful attitude towards cooperation.
She went upstairs alone to retrieve the surveillance footage of the victory. To be honest, dealing with people with intellectual disabilities is quite enjoyable.
.
On the other end, Jiang Miaomiao's old classmate, who had met with her that night, was somewhat agitated.
Attitudes fall into three camps:
One group remained neutral, slightly shocked simply because of Jiang Miaomiao's impressive background.
One faction was a small group that bullied the weak and feared the strong, and the most noteworthy group to be described was Tu Jiaojiao and her associates.
She was brought back to the Tu family home by Xue Shaoyuan and Xiao Luolin, her eyes half-closed and on the verge of death from anger. The Tu family knew that Tu Jiaojiao's usual arrogance would eventually lead to trouble, but they hadn't expected her to faint from sheer anger. Furthermore, upon learning that they were to offer the other party the lowest discount in the industry, they disregarded right and wrong and resolutely protected their own. If the instigator dared to actually cooperate with the Tu family, they would undoubtedly retaliate.
The last faction was also the most unique, consisting of only one person: Han Cuo.
Han Cuo is the sole heir to the Han Group, and he is quite famous. A young master who is too young and handsome, but also cunning and scheming, and notoriously difficult to deal with!
Therefore, he has rarely suffered a defeat since his debut.
Therefore, he was forgetful and couldn't remember his defeated opponents.
Therefore, he holds grudges and never forgets anyone who has humiliated him, including Jiang Miaomiao.
He refused to admit that his initial intention to pursue Jiang Miaomiao as a prank was wrong. He only knew that Jiang Miaomiao had rejected him time and time again, with perfunctory reasons and a terrible attitude, which made him, during his adolescence, feel extremely embarrassed. Even now, thinking back on it still makes him angry!
Young Master Han is easily embarrassed. He's determined to regain the face he lost, even after so many years.
Jiang Zhengye and Jiang Zhongming, who come home late and get up late.
They didn't find out until the next day that Jiang Bainian had been sent to the hospital again.
Jiang Zhongming said dejectedly, "Dad, if this continues, you'll be collecting our corpses sooner or later!"
Jiang Zhengye frowned: "Is it really necessary?"
Jiang Zhongming nodded: "Haven't you noticed that since Lao Yao was discharged from the hospital last time, he hasn't come home on weekends and has been hiding at school?"
……Excuse me.
He's been enjoying success in both love and career lately, and he hasn't even noticed that his youngest son hasn't been home for a while.
***
The next day.
Shi Yi suggested, "If there is a logistics partnership, combining online sales with home delivery can further boost sales."
Jiang Miaomiao crossed her arms and rubbed her chin: "So I negotiated a logistics partnership last night. How about I get paid to come with you to sign this contract?"
Nod when appropriate.
Wen Rongying slowly raised her hand: "Gender equality, please take me. I also want to go out for a walk while on paid leave."
Jiang Miaomiao agreed.
With their superior numbers, and having obtained this promise by swindling the big-breasted but brainless Tu Jiaojiao, they were bound to incur the wrath of the Tu family.
.
Sure enough, when they arrived at Tujia Logistics' company, they were turned away by the receptionist with the excuse that "the leaders are busy."
She wasn't intimidated. "Miss, please tell your boss that I only have ten minutes of patience left. If it's over, I'll call the police. As for the consequences... I can't say for sure, but I assure you your boss won't expect that kind of outcome."
This is a blatant threat.
The receptionist was just following orders.
Startled by her sudden outburst, she quickly made a secret internal call, and the person on the other end changed their tune, instructing Jiang Miaomiao and the others on how to get upstairs.
During this time, Jiang Miaomiao suddenly looked up and glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner.
Meanwhile, on the other end of the surveillance system, in addition to the routine monitoring by the security department, the footage was also projected onto a well-decorated office, where the eldest Tu family member, Tu Dongli, dressed in a sharp suit, and his second son, Tu Xichen, dressed in a suit and sitting with his legs crossed like a lady, could view it.
The two men looked at Jiang Miaomiao as she raised her eyes.
Tu Xichen pointed his right finger repeatedly at the person in the surveillance footage: "Brother, does she know we're watching her?"
Tu Dongli shook his head: "It should be a coincidence. But knowing there are tigers in the mountains, she still went into the tiger's den. She does have some courage."
Tu Xichen immediately put his hands on his hips and grumbled, "So what if she has guts? Although my little sister is spoiled, she is still a member of the Tu family. She is not allowed to be bullied by an outsider."
Tu Dongli covered his eyes.
Even after many years, he still couldn't get used to his second son's effeminate appearance.
Inside the elevator.
Shi Yi, who had the same question, asked, "What warning do you have?"
Jiang Miaomiao said seriously, "I suspect someone is involved in a lesbian relationship, has had a crush on me for years, and went so far as to break into my house to steal and film my private moments. If I hand over the surveillance video to the police and refuse to mediate, how many days do you think the police will lock that perverted woman up?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two men from the Tu family changed slightly.
Tu Dongli suddenly picked up the remote control and threw it at Tu Xichen, "Did you misbehave and lead the little sister astray?"
Tu Xichen was also very emotional, pointing his two delicate fingers to the sky: "How is that possible? She and I have been rivals for love for many years, how could she have led us astray?!"
"Miss Jiang, please follow me." A seemingly honest middle-aged secretary stood waiting for them at the elevator door.
Jiang Miaomiao and the others followed them to the office. It wasn't large, but the decor was classic and quite tasteful. A composed man in his early thirties sat upright behind the coffee table, while another man sat in a posture so alluring that it was hard to look directly at him.
Tu Dongli gestured for him to sit down.
There's only one empty stool.
Jiang Miaomiao took her seat calmly, while Shi Yi and Wen Rongying stood at attention.
A new emperor brings a new court. Although Jiang Miaomiao is not yet the emperor, she already has people on her side. Her gaze was lowered, and she appeared relaxed and at ease.
Tu Dongli skillfully rinsed the teaware with boiling water, and while brewing the tea, he said in a long voice, "Miss Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are truly better than I've heard."
Jiang Miaomiao remained calm and smiled, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Tu. Judging from your tone and the obstruction at the front desk, it seems like you'll try to make things difficult for me no matter what I say next?"
Tu Dongli nodded: "Good to know. I was thinking you wouldn't dare to come, but now that you're here, I'm a little curious to see how you'll convince us."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Miaomiao couldn't help but smile more broadly, and said with conviction: "First, Tu Jiaojiao personally promised to cooperate with my Jiang Group in front of thirty or forty of our prominent old classmates, and at the lowest price in the industry! Second, I have video surveillance of Tu Jiaojiao sneaking into the Jiang family and taking photos. With just these two things, do I need to waste my breath trying to convince you?"
Even with years of experience in the business world, Tu Dongli was amused by her: "Miss Jiang, you're really direct!"
Jiang Miaomiao replied, "It's as if being tactful makes all the difference."
Before Tu Dongli could get angry, she added, "Boss Tu, I don't offend others unless they offend me. You all know very well who provoked whom first! Besides, business is business. In the business world, there are only partners with interests, not permanent enemies. With more partners, your Tu family's business will surely double."
"You think you can take me?" Tu Xichen finally scoffed.
Shi Yi and Wen Rongying exchanged a silent glance, and Shi Yi couldn't help but shudder.
Tu Dongli closed his eyes in deep thought, "If it's really a good business opportunity, I'm willing to listen without holding a grudge."
Jiang Miaomiao said in a deep voice, "There are six major logistics companies in Hong Kong, four of which are headquartered here, and the Tu family is one of them. The Tu family logistics mainly focuses on Hong Kong and overseas, but have you ever thought about developing inland?"
"That's all?" Tu Dongli chuckled and then sneered. "There are many more established logistics companies in the inland areas."
Jiang Miaomiao nodded in agreement: "But they're just in logistics. Hong Kong is a well-known shopping paradise because of its policy protection and exchange rate, which ensures goods are cheap and genuine, leading to various forms of smuggling! If our Dajiang Group cooperates with Tu Family Logistics, I'll be responsible for getting through to the government and establishing sales channels in the mainland, while you'll be responsible for delivering Dajiang skincare and cosmetics to various parts of the mainland. Believe me, the mainland market is far better than overseas!"
Tu Dongli seemed to be deep in thought, and it did sound quite promising.
Jiang Miaomiao noticed his interest and added, "But all of them must be offered at the best price in the industry!" That is, one percentage point lower than the market price.
Tu Dongli frowned, and Jiang Miaomiao added another condition: "Moreover, all contracts can only be effective during my employment period."
This time, everyone frowned, wondering what she was up to.
Ultimately, after Tu Xichen's various attempts to win him over with sweet talk and his threats of glaring and puffing, Tu Dongli finally agreed to cooperate with Jiang Miaomiao. He realized that Jiang Miaomiao's business philosophy was very similar to his own; rather than fighting over the market, they decided to join forces to make it bigger!
I left the butcher's company just in time for lunch.
The three of them looked for a restaurant nearby to eat.
After Jiang Miaomiao finished eating, she told them to go back to the company first, and then bought some spicy rabbit heads and headed straight to the hospital.
Of course, it was the same hospital.
She was genuinely puzzled as to why Butler Xun had sent Jiang Bainian to this hospital just like the previous butler. However, this time there were no scandalous reports from Hong Kong.
In the hospital ward, Jiang Bainian, even while lying in bed, managed to chat with three young and beautiful nurses. This was the place he had unexpectedly discovered last time. Although the hospital was far away, the doctors were handsome and the nurses were beautiful, making it worth the long journey for him to be hospitalized there!
Jiang Miaomiao walked straight to the bedside stool in the ward and sat down without saying a word, emanating a chilling aura.
The three beautiful nurses left in embarrassment.
When Jiang Bainian saw Jiang Miaomiao again, he was both angry and scared. And, "You bring spicy rabbit heads when you visit a patient?"
"This isn't for you to eat," Jiang Miaomiao replied. Then she deftly opened one of the bags of rabbit meat and started eating it right there.
The room was filled with the aroma of spiciness and meat, making Jiang Bainian's mouth water. He reached out without hesitation, "I want some too!"
Jiang Miaomiao said calmly, "During illness, one needs to avoid certain foods."
Jiang Bainian roared incredulously, "So you were just trying to seduce me by eating me?"
Jiang Miaomiao clicked her tongue and said, "Half and half." Then she glanced at her watch. It was about one o'clock sharp when Dr. Yan, wearing a white coat, stood gracefully at the ward door, making her rounds on time.
She then raised the rabbit's head with her right hand and another complete package with her left.
When Yan Yousui's gaze fell upon it, she exclaimed with a hint of surprise, "Wow!"
