Just as Fang Jingxu left, Jiang Xiaoli's phone rang; it was Tang Wanqiao calling.
"Xiao Li, do you have time tomorrow morning? My case has its second trial tomorrow, and I'd like to invite you to go with me to see the verdict."
More than half a year has passed since Tang Wanqiao was accidentally injured. Her injury looks serious, but the hospital only issued a minor injury assessment result according to the assessment regulations.
In the first instance, Qi Liang was sentenced to three years in prison, but he shamelessly filed an appeal, which has delayed the case until now.
Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the schedule Zhu Han had given her that morning and agreed, "Okay, I'm free tomorrow morning."
Tang Wanqiao was delighted to receive her reply. "Great! See you tomorrow!"
Jiang Xiaoli asked with concern, "How did you do on your college entrance exam? I heard that this year's questions seemed more difficult than last year's."
Tang Wanqiao was admitted to Kyoto Institute of Technology last year to study industrial design, but after this accident, she changed her mind and resolutely chose to drop out of school while resting and recovering. She retaken the college entrance examination this year as a repeat student.
Tang Wanqiao said with a smile, "Before, I only knew to study hard and get into a good university, without any clear goals. But this time is different. I know what I want, and I'm more motivated when I'm repeating the year. I've already received my admission letter from Huaguo University of Political Science and Law!"
Jiang Xiaoli was genuinely happy for her, "Congratulations on your future great lawyer!"
"Thank you! See you tomorrow!"
After hanging up the phone, she thought of the prospective Oxford students on the other side of the ocean.
She opened "SOSO" and sent a message to Xiao Muyu, and to her surprise, he replied immediately.
She glanced at the time and calculated that it was only 5 a.m. in Chongqing.
[Jiang Youqian: Are you still awake, or are you already up?]
[Xiaoxiao Muyu: Still awake? School starts soon and I wanted to catch up on my studies, and before I knew it, it was this late.]
[Jiang Youqian: Girl, it's almost dawn. This isn't how you study. If you can't take care of yourself, I'm going to tell Brother Le.]
[Xiaoxiao Muyu: Please don't! He's already nagging enough. Okay, okay, I'm not talking to you anymore. I'm going to sleep now.]
Seeing the cartoon avatar turn gray in the next second, Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She stretched her shoulders and called Zong Jia to come to the cafeteria for lunch together.
Everyone else was gone at noon, just the two of them, but Jiang Xiaoli could tell he seemed a little distracted.
"Ayu, what's wrong? Is something bothering you at work again?"
Zong Jiayu shook his head. "The company is doing well, but... it's been a month and a half since she last sent a postcard. Do you think she might..."
Jiang Xiaoli reached out and covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible. If anything were to happen, Aunt Yu would have already contacted us."
Zong Jiayu nodded and didn't continue the topic. "Mom, shouldn't you have a physical exam in the second half of the year? Should I ask someone to schedule one for you?"
She thought for a moment and said, "It's time, why don't we both go get checked? You're always working overtime and it'll be reassuring to have a check-up."
"Okay, I'll make the appointment."
After finishing their meal, they arrived at the elevator, where Qiao Ru was rushing back from outside.
Her eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Xiaoli, "Chairwoman Jiang!"
"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?"
Qiao Ru's eyes curved into crescent moons. "Chairman Jiang, you would be very happy if you saw the financial report!"
"Oh? It seems the company is doing quite well lately!"
Qiao Ru said modestly, "You have excellent taste!"
Jiang Xiaoli thought about it and realized it made sense. Recently, the new movies and TV series of the four actors who came out of "Qiaochu" have been broadcast one after another. In addition, with the popularity of the singing competition, "Jiang's Entertainment" has indeed reaped a lot of benefits recently.
She laughed and said, "Looks like we need to find you a place to move soon, these two floors aren't enough for you."
They entered the elevator together, and Qiao Ru said with a smile, "Chairman Jiang, we really are on the same page. I've already submitted the application to President Li. 'Jiang's Entertainment' is facing two problems: firstly, there's not enough office space, and secondly, the artists' fans are coming over so often that it's affecting colleagues in other companies within the group."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Okay, we'll do it according to the company's needs."
As luck would have it, just as she returned to her office, Li Anting arrived with the application form for "Jiang's Entertainment".
She read through Qiao Ru's application and asked, "An Ting, what do you think?"
Li Anting pondered for a moment, “Jiang’s Entertainment is indeed developing very rapidly, with each department expanding quickly. It’s time to move to a more spacious office space, but Qiao Ru’s application is way over budget. I think it’s a bit too aggressive.”
Qiao Ru knew how to ask for an exorbitant amount; her application detailed her requirements for various venues.
In addition to the basic office area, the artist training classrooms alone are divided into nearly 10 different types.
There are also even more expensive photography studios, sound engineers, small theaters...
Her pen twirled incessantly. "An Ting, it's not just 'Jiang's Entertainment,' soon our other subsidiaries will also face this choice. This isn't just a matter for one company."
Li Anting was a little worried. "Yes, the development speed of the group's subsidiaries is getting faster and faster. Just the other day, President Fu mentioned to me that he wanted to find a place to build a food research and development base."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't you think this is what they call 'painful yet joyful'?"
"That's true!" Li Anting chuckled. "Chairman Jiang, but we can't just keep throwing money at office buildings. That's a considerable expense."
She nodded. "That's right. Rules need to be established. Each subsidiary's assets are accounted for separately. This 'Jiang's Building' is, in fact, a fixed asset of 'Jiang Li Ji'."
She thought for a moment and then said, "The group has provided different levels of support to each subsidiary when it was first established, whether it was funding or other things. The subsidiaries can't always be like children who never grow up, and they can't keep asking the group to contribute money and effort whenever there is a problem. The group's money is all borrowed from 'Jiang Li Ji'!"
"Do what you're capable of. Take Jiang's Entertainment's recent office relocation as an example. You asked Qiao Ru to choose a suitable office space based on Jiang's Entertainment's financial situation. I just looked at Jiang's Entertainment's recent financial report; it's not like they're short of money!"
Li Anting nodded in agreement, "Okay, Chairman Jiang, I understand."
Although she often fantasizes that each of the group's subsidiaries will develop into a super company occupying its own building, one must take things one step at a time. The current development speed of these subsidiaries is already enviable.
