On the morning of the day of Lidong (the beginning of winter), Jiang Ruilin called Jiang Xiaoli and said, "Xiaoli, come to the company after class today."
Jiang Xiaoli vaguely guessed why Jiang Ruilin was looking for her, but she was still shocked when she actually saw the report data.
"Uncle, you only spent one month causing Maple Leaf Financial's China branch's performance to decline by 46%?"
Jiang Ruilin calmly poured them both a cup of tea. "Xiao Li, are you satisfied with this result?"
Jiang Xiaoli was excited, but she quickly realized something, "With such a large investment, the major shareholders of 'Maple Leaf Financial' must already know, right?"
Jiang Ruilin nodded slightly. "Yes, I gave the information you gave me to Steven. He asked me to convey his gratitude to you. The new person in charge he sent is from Canada, so he shouldn't be targeting you and Jiayu anymore."
Jiang Xiaoli breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle, you're really amazing!"
"Hehe." Jiang Ruilin took a sip of tea and put down the teacup. "Little Pear, just don't forget our promise."
She nodded repeatedly, "I can't forget it, I can't forget it!"
Jiang Ruilin suddenly changed the subject, "A-Le is pursuing your good friend Xiao-Yu now, right?"
"You already know!"
“Your uncle and aunt have been calling me a lot lately to talk about Ah Le.”
Jiang Xiaoli frowned. "Do your uncle and aunt have other plans for Le Ge's marriage?"
Jiang Ruilin smiled and said, "Xiao Li, don't misunderstand. We're discussing A Le's future development."
He paused and continued, "No one in the family expected that Ah Le would not want to go back after coming to China. Apart from Ah Le and you, the other children in your generation are still too young. If neither you nor Ah Le return to Great Britain, your eldest uncle and second uncle will have to work hard for at least another ten years."
Jiang Xiaoli touched her nose and said, "Actually, my eldest uncle and second uncle are in good health, so there's no need for them to retire in a hurry."
Jiang Ruilin chuckled, "You and Ah Le really do sound exactly alike."
She chuckled, "So, have you all come to a final decision?"
Jiang Ruilin glanced at her thoughtfully. "Xiao Li, what do you think about the Jiang family moving most of its businesses to China?"
Jiang Xiaoli was shocked. She sat up straight nervously. "Are you telling the truth?"
"Let's just talk about one hypothetical scenario for now."
She hesitated for a long time before speaking, “China is the place where I was born and raised. I love it here and I hope that China will develop better and better in the future. However, I have to admit that China is currently lagging behind Britain and the United States in many industries. If the Jiang family moves its main industries back to China, China will definitely benefit in the short term. But I believe that in the long run, this decision will allow the Jiang family to take a new step forward.”
Jiang Ruilin smiled slightly. He did not comment on Jiang Xiaoli's words. He only said, "It has been nearly 90 years since the first generation of the Jiang family immigrated to Great Britain. The matter you just mentioned is very important to our main family and the collateral branches of the Jiang family. We need to consider it carefully."
Jiang Xiaoli knew this wasn't as easy as she could just say, so she nodded and said, "Of course."
As the two were chatting, Jiang Chengle knocked on the door and came in. "I just got back to the company and heard that Xiaoli is here. Uncle, are you finished chatting? Shall we go for lunch?"
Jiang Ruilin glanced at the time and nodded. He turned to ask, "Xiao Li, do you have any other plans for lunch?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "No."
Jiang Chengle gestured to the two of them, "Let's go then. Let me tell you, a Cantonese restaurant recently opened around here, and it's really delicious!"
During the meal, Jiang Chengle casually inquired, "Xiao Li, what date is Xiao Yu going to Chongqing?"
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "Didn't she tell you?"
After Wang Manqi's case was over, Xiao Muyu went to the school on Monday to submit her withdrawal application, repeatedly refusing the teachers and leaders who tried to persuade her to stay. Yesterday, she completed all the withdrawal procedures and booked a plane ticket to Chongqing.
Jiang Chengle was a little annoyed. "She said it's a secret."
Jiang Xiaoli shrugged. "Xiaoyu already said it's a secret. You still want to steal information from me? Are you trying to harm me?"
Jiang Ruilin also disapproved of his behavior, saying, "A-Le, don't make things difficult for Xiao-Li."
Jiang Chengle said listlessly, "Okay, Uncle."
Jiang Xiaoli looked at him with a pitiful expression. "Brother Le, Aunt Xu is going with Xiaoyu this time, and besides, it's being done at Jiang's Medical Aesthetics Center. What are you worried about?"
"It's not that I'm worried..."
Jiang Ruilin quickly answered, "Hehe, Ah Le is just reluctant to let Xiao Yu go after such a long time."
Jiang Xiaoli blinked. "Brother Le, even though you want to develop your career in China in the future, Chongqing is still your home."
Jiang Chengle's eyes suddenly lit up, "That's right! Hahaha! I can take some time to go back and see her!"
Jiang Ruilin rolled his eyes at him. "I think that old saying should be changed to 'A son is not meant to stay at home once he grows up.' My older brother and sister-in-law were complaining to me yesterday that they called you home but you didn't want to."
Jiang Xiaoli started watching the show while enjoying her delicious poached chicken.
Jiang Chengle fidgeted as if he had a thorn in his side, trying to explain, "Uncle, I am just..."
Jiang Ruilin stopped him, saying, "You don't need to explain to me. I understand that you're pursuing the girl you like. Just let your father, mother, older brother, and sister-in-law understand."
Jiang Chengle suddenly felt that the roast goose in front of him no longer smelled good.
He watched Jiang Xiaoli devour her food and suddenly had an idea.
After dinner, Jiang Ruilin returned to the company, and Jiang Chengle pulled Jiang Xiaoli aside.
"Little Pear, will you come home with me in a while?"
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "Brother Le, are you using me as a shield?"
Jiang Chengle offered his bargaining chip, "Aren't you interested in my sports car? My Porsche 993, or a Ferrari F355, or do you prefer something else? Just name your price."
Jiang Xiaoli was indeed quite interested, as these were all sports cars that were about to be discontinued and become extinct.
She said coyly, "Brother Le, you know my company has a lot going on, so I might not be able to..."
Before she could even refuse, Jiang Chengle anxiously added, "Two cars!"
"Landing in China?"
"I'll take care of all the formalities for you!"
"make a deal!"
Jiang Chengle hadn't even reacted yet, "You agreed?"
Jiang Xiaoli said with a grin, "Brother Le, these can all be customized, right? I want the yellow 993, and the Ferrari red F355!"
Jiang Chengle finally realized that he had been tricked by his good sister again. He complained, "One yellow and one red, do you want scrambled eggs with tomatoes?"
She blinked. "Brother Le, you're not feeling sorry for him, are you?"
Jiang Chengle felt a pang of regret for his meager savings for two seconds, then forced a smile and said, "Hehe, it's just giving my sister two cars, no big deal, why would I care!"
Jiang Xiaoli asked curiously, "Brother Le, do you have so much secret savings?"
Seeing her expression, Jiang Chengle quickly shoved her into the car, then stood by the roadside and waved to her, "Go on with your work."
