Chapter 517 A Refined Young Lady from the Republican Era Gets the Male and Female Protagonists Killed (19)
Jiang Beilou was a very cautious person. This time, he specially arranged two teams for the delivery. One team delivered the actual goods, while the other team carried more than a dozen large boxes of stones. They split into two groups and headed towards the port.
The vice president was escorting the real goods, while the president, Jiang Beilou, was transporting counterfeit goods with Jin Shu.
It seems that Jiang Beilou was worried that the cargo transportation route would be exposed.
After all, the dangers along the way are not only those mountain bandits, but also many rivals who are eager to destroy the Beilou Chamber of Commerce.
“This journey will certainly be somewhat dangerous. If you want to go back now, you can just tell me and I will send a car to take you back.”
Jin Shu smiled and shook her head.
"It's alright. If a businessman is afraid of something like this, how will he ever be able to follow Boss Jiang and make his way in the world?"
Jiang Beilou finally smiled, clearly satisfied with Jin Shu's reply.
As for Jin Shu, regardless of her true intentions, she will definitely have to accompany the shipment this time.
As the boss, her presence further confuses the public.
Jiang Beilou's question was just a casual remark. Even if Jin Shu said she didn't want to go, he would eventually find a thousand ways to force her to go.
Jin Shu has her own way of dealing with people who are both wary and hypocritical.
Because the delivery process would take about three days, Jin Shu went back to pack some things, and then, together with her secretary, followed the delivery team to the port.
The journey from the city center outwards was incredibly smooth, easy, and peaceful. However, as the group headed along a small path into the remote mountains, the surrounding noise vanished instantly.
The forest was remote and deathly quiet, with only the occasional bird call.
Just when everyone was getting a little nervous, Jiang Beilou ordered all the convoys to stop.
"Wait here for a while."
Jin Shu and he were in the same car, sitting face to face. Before Jin Shu could speak, Jiang Beilou took the initiative to explain.
“There are many bandits in this forest. Although we have a lot of guns, they are in the dark while we are in the light. So, just in case, I have arranged a professional team to protect us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of armed infantrymen jogged over. Their steps were neat and their voices were loud, clearly indicating that they were regular soldiers. Judging from their uniforms, they were soldiers of a northern warlord.
Northern warlords...
Jin Shu looked at the man riding at the front with a hint of speculation. He was wearing a yellow military uniform, black leather boots, and a wide-brimmed military cap. He jumped off the horse with a straight back and strode to the front of Jiangbei Tower.
"President Jiang, I, Zhang Jisheng, have come with one hundred soldiers to escort you on the orders of Commander Liu."
Zhang Jisheng.
What a small world! To see such an unlucky person in this godforsaken place.
Jiang Beilou was unaware of the relationship between Jin Shu and Zhang Jisheng. After a brief greeting, he waved to Jin Shu.
"Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Jisheng, a fierce general under Commander Liu."
This is Jin Shu, the boss, who recently joined the Beilou Chamber of Commerce.
The precious Suzhou embroidery shipped this time all came from Mr. Jin's Embroidery Workshop.
Therefore, this time your main focus of protection is not only the goods, but also Boss Jin.
Mr. Kim?
Zhang Jisheng was so surprised when he first saw Jin Shu that he was speechless for a long time.
It wasn't until Jiang Beilou took the initiative to introduce her that he understood why Jin Shu was there, and even why she could have a close conversation with the president of the Beilou Chamber of Commerce.
A strange feeling welled up inside him again. He frowned, trying to appear calm, while secretly hoping that Jin Shu would not expose their relationship.
After all, Jiang Beilou and Commander Liu had a good relationship. If Commander Liu knew that Jiang Beilou had an ex-wife, it might affect his image in Commander Liu's eyes, and it might even delay his promotion.
Just as she was thinking about how to occasionally distance herself from him, Jin Shu suddenly said something.
"I knew Major General Zhang before."
Jiang Beilou indeed asked out of curiosity.
"Oh? You two actually know each other? How did you meet?"
Zhang Jisheng tensed up, trying to remain calm, his eyes fixed on Jin Shu while his mind raced, trying to figure out how to handle the situation.
Then, the next second, Jin Shu said in a calm tone.
"Oh, our parents knew each other before. When I was a child, my parents took me to visit them, and that's how we met."
"Oh, we've known each other since we were little, so we can be considered childhood sweethearts."
Before Zhang Jisheng could even retort, Jin Shu continued.
"We only met once when we were children, and we haven't seen each other since. We can't be considered childhood sweethearts; we were just strangers who met by chance."
With these words, Jin Shu effectively severed all ties with Zhang Jisheng's five-year marriage.
Logically speaking, Jin Shu's initiative to distance herself from Zhang Jisheng should be a good thing.
But for some reason, looking at Jin Shu's calm and gentle face, Zhang Jisheng felt as if a part of his heart was blocked, feeling a little sour and a little uncomfortable.
Such a gentle and refined woman must have suffered a great deal to be able to make such a heartbroken expression.
Zhang Jisheng lowered his head, not daring to look at her at all, his fists clenched and a bitter taste rising in his throat.
With the military's involvement, the entire cargo transport team has found their workload significantly reduced.
Zhang Jisheng rode ahead on horseback, followed by the car carrying Jiang Beilou and Jin Shu.
The car window was open, so he could hear their conversation clearly.
Jiang Beilou never expected that Jin Shu had such a thorough understanding of industrialized production.
"Productivity is the primary driving force. If we want our people to have enough to eat and a stable home, the most important thing is to boost domestic demand, increase productivity, and create more job opportunities so that the world can truly stabilize."
"I never imagined that something I've been thinking about and researching for so long could be summarized by you, little girl, in just a few words, and in such a concise and insightful way."
It seems your parents taught you quite a bit.
Jin Shu looked out the window, her tone humble.
"It's just that I've read a few more books and picked up scraps from others."
"So many people have read books, but how many of them can say such things?"
I have always believed that business people must have a strong sense of righteousness and never be limited by personal fame and fortune; such people will certainly not be able to build a large and sustainable business.
Jiang Beilou is clearly a Confucian businessman who considers himself to have a strong sense of national pride.
Whether these statements are true or false, Jin Shu can say whatever she wants to people, whether they are human or ghost. She can agree and agree without making it obvious to others.
Even someone like Jiang Beilou, who has been in business for many years, couldn't help but say a few more words in front of Jin Shu.
