After laughing for a while, Jiang Xiaoli asked, "Uncle Xiao, when do you think we should set off? I'd like to make some preparations in advance."
Xiao Jincheng replied, "I have two people whose visas haven't come through yet. It should take about a week. Today is Sunday, and we'll leave the week after next. Is a week enough time for you to handle your company matters?"
"That's enough, that's enough," she said with a smile. "I'm just a mascot for the company now, I don't have to do much."
"Haha." Xiao Jincheng patted her shoulder. "Little Pear is my lucky charm too! When we go out to discuss cooperation, we'll be invincible!"
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Uncle Xiao, you have too much confidence in me. Let's prepare some more investment materials to make it more convincing."
Xiao Jincheng nodded. "That's for sure! You've seen the previous investment promotion plan. After contacting these luxury brands recently, we've made some adjustments. I'll send it to you on 'SOSO' so you can take a look and give me your feedback."
She smiled and replied, "No problem."
"Alright, I'll be going now. I need to fly to Shanghai soon." Xiao Jincheng said goodbye and left.
Li Guizhi said with concern, "Xiao Li, I know that for the sake of the company's development, there will be many business trips to discuss cooperation, but you must take good care of yourself when you are away from home, okay?"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and nodded, "Mom, don't worry, Cao Jie is very safe with me. We always stay in high-end hotels when we go out, and the conditions are very good. I won't mistreat myself."
Zong Jiayu instructed, "No matter where you go or whether there is a time difference with China, make at least one phone call or video call every day."
She held his hand and said helplessly, "I know! There's still a week left, you don't need to start reminding me now, do you?"
Li Guizhi chuckled lightly, "If we don't repeat it a few times, we're afraid you won't take it seriously!"
Zong Jiayu nodded, "Don't think I'm being long-winded with Mom."
Her mother and husband's concern was so heartfelt that she could only accept it all. "I know! You two are welcome to check up on me anytime, is that alright?"
After breakfast, the two of them went downstairs to the study.
The study now has an extra-long and extra-large desk, so the two of them can sit side by side and work without disturbing each other at all.
Zong Jiayu was replying to messages on the right, while Jiang Xiaoli was eating snacks on the left while looking at the investment promotion progress and the new investment promotion plan sent to her by Xiao Jincheng.
The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed, and she gradually put down the snacks, pinching her chin as she pondered.
Xiao Jincheng did indeed connect with many international brands through her wedding, and some brands agreed to move into the "Jinghua Center".
However, after carefully reviewing the cooperation plans of various brands, Jiang Xiaoli found that apart from two brands that would set up their first flagship stores in China at the "Jinghua Center", the other brands' stores were all of a very low standard, and some even planned to cooperate to open a boutique together.
She couldn't help but sigh; one must be strong oneself to succeed.
Although many people gave the "Beijing Center" a chance out of respect for Jiang Zemin, China is still seen as a backward country by many Westerners.
Their narrow-mindedness led them to lack accurate judgment of the huge Chinese market.
These are all business people who prioritize profit, and they won't rashly invest too much when they can't see the market value.
She then opened the latest version of the "Jinghua Center" investment promotion plan and looked at it again. She smiled.
It turns out that Xiao Jincheng had already noticed this issue, and the new investment promotion plan has made a supplement to this point, stipulating that only stores at the selected level or above can receive the mall's main promotion.
They hope to attract more and top-tier brands to "Jinghua Center" to boost its opening, but good cooperation should be based on mutual trust.
Jiang Xiaoli suddenly had an inspiration, and she began to re-edit the investment promotion plan, making optimizations in more details.
With over a decade of experience and knowledge, she had a plethora of marketing and promotional ideas in her head. China has never lacked wealthy people; the key was how to attract all the wealthy people in the country to the "Jinghua Center."
She was constantly inspired and continuously improved her investment promotion plan.
After replying to the company message, Zong Jia smiled knowingly at how focused she was.
He got up, poured her a glass of water and placed it beside her, then continued with his work.
They didn't exchange a single word all morning, but the atmosphere in the study was unusually harmonious.
Around noon, Aunt Tian knocked on the door. "Mr. Zong, Miss Li, it's time to eat. Madam made boiled fish for lunch today."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoli glanced at the time displayed on her computer and exclaimed, "Oh dear, it's already 12 o'clock!"
Zong Jia stood up and said with a smile, "Little Pear is too focused. Let's go eat."
The two went upstairs, and the first thing Li Guizhi said when she opened the door was, "I only made one dish, so please don't nag me!"
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Mom, we didn't go that far. We just wanted you to rest at home. We didn't restrict your personal freedom. As long as you don't spend all your time in the kitchen, it'll be fine."
Li Guizhi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I'm really scared of you two jailers now!"
During the meal, Zong Jiayu tasted a few dishes and suddenly said, "Mom, why do I feel like Aunt Tian's cooking is becoming more and more like yours?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, "Now that you mention it, I think so too. I remember Aunt Tian's shredded pork with garlic sauce didn't taste like this before!"
"Haha! You two have quite a discerning palate!" Li Guizhi said with a laugh. "I've been at home with nothing to do lately, so when Xiaotian came to cook, I had a few conversations with her."
She gave a thumbs-up and praised, "You really teach wherever you go! Brother Dafu, Xiao Liu, Aunt Tian, you'll have students all over the world in the future!"
Li Guizhi glanced at her and said, "Are you making fun of me?"
"No, no!" Jiang Xiaoli waved her hand and said, "It is indeed quite boring for you to rest at home. At most, you can go downstairs to chat with Aunt Xu. It's good that you can find something to do to relieve your boredom. The only principle is not to tire yourself out!"
“I know,” Li Guizhi replied. “I am strictly following the doctor’s orders now.”
She pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "The biggest headache for Aunt Tian when cooking every day is matching the flavors. She has to take care of me by using less oil and salt, and also take care of you two who like strong flavors. I'm even thinking that we should just eat separately."
Zong Jia picked up a piece of green vegetable and said, "Mom, it's good to eat something light and healthy."
Jiang Xiaoli nodded and said, "Yes, a combination of these will ensure a balanced diet."
"Haha, as long as you don't mind," Li Guizhi said with a smile. "I've been reading some books recently, and I think dietary supplements are worth studying in detail."
She immediately flattered him, "I support you. Who knows, before long, you'll transform into the most outstanding nutritionist!"
Li Guizhi was very pleased and said, "Haha, then I'll try my best."
