After they sat down, Jiang Ruilin handed her the menu. "Miss Jiang, I don't know your taste, so please order whatever you like."
Jiang Xiaoli wasn't focused on the meal; she casually ordered a few dishes.
Jiang Chengle chuckled softly, "Miss Jiang, we really do have similar tastes. Looks like I won't be eating anything tasteless at lunch today."
Jiang Ruilin looked helpless. "Ah Le, that's not how you use this idiom. Don't make Miss Jiang laugh at you."
Jiang Chengle smiled sheepishly, "Ms. Jiang, as you know, my Chinese isn't very good, please don't mind."
Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand, "It's okay. You'll get used to it as you spend more time in China and become more immersive in the language."
"I think so too! Isn't my Chinese much better than when I first met you?" Jiang Chengle said with a touch of pride.
She smiled and nodded. "Yes."
Jiang Xiaoli felt somewhat depressed after the meal.
The uncle and nephew kept trying to talk to her about history, culture, and food, but never about anything serious.
After the meal, Jiang Ruilin led Jiang Xiaoli to the tea table in the private room.
He skillfully rinsed the teaware. "Does Miss Jiang usually drink tea?"
Jiang Xiaoli gently shook her head, "I drank very little."
Jiang Chengle chimed in from the side, "Uncle, we young people rarely like to drink tea!"
Jiang Ruilin continued with the tea-making process, smiling as he said, "Drinking tea cultivates one's character; it's worth a try."
She smiled slightly, "Mr. Jiang is right."
Jiang Ruilin poured the brewed tea into small cups and distributed them to the three people. "Miss Jiang, how do you like my tea?"
Jiang Xiaoli was gently inhaling the lingering fragrance in her cup when Jiang Chengle picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Jiang Ruilin shook his head repeatedly at his actions, saying, "Ah Le, it's such a waste to give you my tea."
Jiang Xiaoli sipped her tea slowly in three small sips, then put down her teacup. "Although I don't know much about tea, Mr. Jiang's tea has the best aroma and taste among all the teas I've ever had."
Jiang Ruilin smiled and said, "I'm glad Miss Jiang likes it."
He then changed the subject, "I suppose Miss Jiang is a little confused about meeting with me today?"
Jiang Xiaoli shouted "yes!" in her heart.
Okay, after all this rambling, we can finally get to the point.
She nodded, "I'd appreciate it if Mr. Jiang could enlighten me."
Jiang Ruilin clasped his hands lightly in front of him. "I wonder if 'Jiang Li Ji' has any plans to expand into overseas markets?"
Jiang Xiaoli lowered her eyes and pondered for a few seconds before replying, "Jiang Li Ji will develop overseas markets in the future, but the timing isn't right yet."
Jiang Ruilin chuckled lightly, "With Heaven Capital backing us, timing isn't an issue."
Jiang Xiaoli frowned. "Mr. Jiang, is a small business like 'Jiang Li Ji' really worth all this fuss?"
"Miss Jiang, you've misunderstood!" Jiang Chengle interjected. "We want to cooperate with you for mutual benefit!"
Jiang Ruilin glanced at Jiang Chengle, but he did not deny what he said.
"Miss Jiang, you must know a little about our Jiang family. Many years ago, the Jiang family moved overseas and started with the food industry. What makes the family ashamed is that although we Jiang family made our fortune by inheriting the culinary traditions of our ancestors, we have now faded out of the Chinese market."
Please don't misunderstand, we have no intention of maliciously encroaching on "Jiang Li Ji's" business. We simply have a very positive view of "Jiang Li Ji's" brand image and your existing sales channels. I believe we have a basis for cooperation, don't you think?
Jiang Xiaoli didn't quite believe that such a windfall could happen.
She was somewhat skeptical, "Mr. Jiang, I believe that with the strength of your Heaven Capital, building a brand and establishing distribution channels shouldn't be difficult."
Jiang Ruilin chuckled lightly. "Ms. Jiang, the food industry is currently just a tiny fraction of Heaven Capital's business empire. Do you think it's worth us going to such lengths?"
Fine, fine! You're so superior! You're so amazing!
At that moment, Jiang Xiaoli really felt a bit resentful of the rich!
But then she thought about it again and realized that the pancake smelled really good!
Having figured out the key to this, she no longer felt the same way she did before coming to the grave.
"I see." She asked with a slight smile, "So, Mr. Jiang, how would you like to collaborate?"
Jiang Ruilin gestured with his chin toward Jiang Chengle, who immediately pulled out a folder and handed it to Jiang Xiaoli.
"Ms. Jiang, we are planning to find a suitable food company to cooperate with in setting up a factory. Here is the detailed information, please take a look."
Jiang Xiaoli quickly flipped through the documents, and the more she looked, the more excited she became.
Jiang's food products mainly consist of pastries and beverages, which have virtually no overlap with the current products of "Jiang Li Ji".
She closed the folder. "Mr. Jiang, to be honest, no one would refuse your collaboration proposal, but I'd like to know why 'Jiang Li Ji'?"
Jiang Ruilin brewed another cup of tea and placed it in front of her. "Miss Jiang, to be honest, Ah Le sent the best-selling food products on the market for testing, and only 'Jiang Li Ji' products met international standards for hygiene and additives."
This... Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but clasp her hands in greeting to her colleagues.
It's all thanks to the contrast with its peers!
Jiang Chengle added, "We also conducted research at various food factories, and many of them had really poor hygiene standards."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "From the very beginning of the establishment of 'Jiang Li Ji,' I have repeatedly emphasized that hygiene and safety are the most important things in the food industry."
Jiang Ruilin nodded, "This also shows an entrepreneur's sense of social responsibility, which is a very crucial point for us when choosing partners."
She quickly added, "Mr. Jiang values these things, which proves that Heaven Capital is also a trustworthy partner."
The two exchanged a smile, and Jiang Ruilin spoke, "Ms. Jiang, I look forward to working with you."
Jiang Xiaoli readily agreed, "Mr. Jiang, I look forward to working with you."
After both parties agreed on a time to discuss the details of the next steps in cooperation, today's meeting concluded amicably.
As they parted, Jiang Ruilin smiled and said, "Since we'll be business partners from now on, may I call you Xiao Li? Calling you Miss Jiang is a bit too formal."
Jiang Xiaoli was in a good mood, and she said with a smile, "Then I'll shamelessly call you Uncle Jiang."
Jiang Ruilin seemed quite pleased to hear this nickname. "Hehe, of course, Xiao Li is indeed as interesting as Ah Le described."
Jiang Chengle grinned and said, "Uncle, don't I have good taste?"
Jiang Ruilin did not refute, "This time it was indeed good."
After saying goodbye, Jiang Xiaoli happily returned home, humming a little tune.
Zong Jia asked, "Little Pear, it seems you two are communicating quite well?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and hugged his neck, "Not just good, it's absolutely fantastic!"
She told him about her meeting with Jiang Ruilin and Jiang Chengle that day.
Zong Jiayu smiled and said, "Jiang Li Ji is a conscientious company in the food industry; you deserve this."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "That's why it's best to be honest and down-to-earth when doing business!"
