Jiang Xiaoli paid a heavy price for the rumors she spread in a moment of carelessness.
Zong Jia put her description into practice.
In his words, "If I hadn't done it, wouldn't that be a huge injustice?"
At 11 p.m., Jiang Xiaoli returned home in the dark.
Li Guizhi heard the noise and spoke from inside the house, "Why are you only coming back now?"
She rubbed her aching lower back and said, "I had a long dinner with Xin Xin and the others, but it's nothing. You should get some rest!"
Lying in bed, she blushed with shame and indignation. Where exactly did Zong Jia and that bastard study?
Where did all these tricks come from?! This is unbearable!
The next day, Jiang Xiaoli decisively gave up her morning run.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Zong Jia sitting by her bedside. She was startled and exclaimed, "Who are you trying to scare to death so early in the morning?!"
Zong Jia gently massaged her waist, abdomen, and thighs, asking, "Are you feeling any better?"
She was actually much better, but she still kept grumbling, "Better my foot! Zong Jiayu, I've figured it out, you're a liar, all your promises to be good to me were lies! You always leave me with a sore back and aching muscles, I don't want to live anymore!"
Zong Jia gently patted her bottom, "You spoiled brat!"
She rolled over and sat up, casually lifting her clothes to reveal a bruise on her waist. "Look! It's all bruised!"
Zong Jiayu's eyes darkened as he looked at the slender waist that had been stained with color. He promised, "I'll be gentler next time."
Jiang Xiaoli rolled her eyes at him, "You're kidding me! I strongly suspect you have a tendency to abuse your family!"
Zong Jia appealed on his behalf, saying, "Is it true that officials are allowed to set fires but common people are forbidden to light lamps?"
She was very indignant, "How did I set a fire?"
Zong Jia pulled his collar down a little to reveal a complete tooth mark and several red marks left by fingernails.
Are you satisfied with your masterpiece?
She blinked. "I don't remember ever doing something like that."
"Hehe." Zong Jia pinched her cheek. "Maybe Little Pear's head was filled with other things back then."
His words were very eloquent, and Jiang Xiaoli blushed slightly. "When will this cycle of revenge end? I request a truce."
"agree."
With this verbal crisis resolved, Jiang Xiaoli secretly vowed to be more careful with her words in the future.
Even if you continue to talk nonsense, you must be careful to keep it a secret!
...
On March 20th, "Jiang Da Xia" hot pot restaurants officially opened in both Kyoto and Nishikyo.
Shao Ping'an did a great job with the pre-opening publicity, and the opening day was packed with guests.
Jiang Xiaoli nodded in satisfaction. "Well done, Shao Ping'an. Congratulations, you're now the manager of 'Hero Jiang'."
Shao Ping'an expressed his gratitude repeatedly, "President Jiang, I understand that the success of 'Hero Jiang' today is not my achievement alone, but rather the result of you providing me with a platform to showcase my abilities."
Rest assured, I will treat the company as my home from now on and strive to bring "Master Jiang" to every corner of China!
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "I'm not some heartless capitalist. It's an exaggeration to say that I treat the company like my home. As long as you're focused on the company, that's fine."
Shao Ping'an nodded, "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I understand."
March is the harvest season for Jiang Xiaoli. On March 29th, the Kyoto branch of "Jiang Li Ji" officially started operation.
Looking at the operating factory in front of her, Jiang Xiaoli felt a surge of pride.
She asked with a smile, "Brother Dafu, a new factory, a new beginning, are you confident?"
Dafu nodded firmly, "Absolutely! This is just the beginning!"
After chatting for a while, Dafu went to greet the leaders who came to attend the opening ceremony, but Jiang Xiaoli spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.
She walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder. "Hi!"
Jiang Chengle's eyes lit up when he saw her expression. "Jiang Xiaoli! I only found out how amazing you are today when I came here!"
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "Oh? I'm that amazing. Praise me!"
Jiang Chengle smiled and said, "I originally came here with my uncle today. He is very optimistic about the development of 'Jiang Li Ji'. As the material living standards of the Chinese people continue to improve, people are increasingly willing to spend money on healthy and delicious food, and 'Jiang Li Ji' perfectly fits this trend."
"Go back and thank your uncle for me; he has excellent taste," Jiang Xiaoli said.
Jiang Chengle laughed out loud, "Of course, every company my uncle has chosen and invested in has been a success!"
Jiang Xiaoli understood the implication in his tone: "Your uncle is interested in my company."
"Yes, Xiaoli, let me tell you, almost all the companies my uncle invested in have gone public!"
She rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
She hadn't even dealt with the several hungry wolves eyeing "Yu Jia Technology" yet, and now a "little uncle" who was interested in her "Jiang Li Ji" had popped up. What kind of luck was this?!
She told Jiang Chengle, "Please tell your uncle that 'Jiang Li Ji' currently has no plans to accept investment or go public. If he's still interested in me, we can schedule a time to sit down and talk."
"Okay, no problem."
Dafu returned from his social engagements and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Jiang Chengle. "Little Pear, who is this?"
Jiang Xiaoli introduced the two parties.
Dafu looked at Jiang Chengle, then at Jiang Xiaoli, and felt that the two of them were very similar in some way.
Perhaps it's because they both have very youthful, baby-faced features?
Just as Dafu was about to discuss this topic with the two of them, the person in charge of the workshop came over and changed the subject.
After the Kyoto branch of "Jiang Li Ji" went into operation, "Jiang Li Ji"'s signature braised dishes officially went on sale, and within just 3 days, they were sold out everywhere.
The Kyoto branch factory has once again witnessed the grand occasion when its star products, such as spicy strips and boneless chicken feet, were launched.
Jiang Xiaoli immediately called Xu Feng to share the good news, "Aunt Xu, have you checked the supermarket near your home? Are all our braised food products sold out?"
Xu Feng's voice sounded unusually excited on the phone, "Yes, yes! I never thought my cooking skills could sell all over the country, haha, now I finally understand why your mother likes to run a small restaurant and cook for people. This sense of accomplishment is a really rare experience!"
Jiang Xiaoli listened to her sharing with a smile, "Aunt Xu, you can plan how to spend this share of the braised food business!"
Xu Feng chuckled and said, "You know what, this is the first time in all these years that I've earned money through my own abilities!"
Jiang Xiaoli praised, "Aunt Xu, you've really surprised everyone with your insightful remarks!"
"Alright, you don't need to flatter me!" Xu Feng said. "You go ahead with your work, I need to get ready to pick Xiaoyu up from school."
"Okay, please be careful on your way!"
