Their contact with "Sevier" today was also very successful.
Although I wasn't received by the general manager like yesterday, the head of the brand development department was very friendly, and the two sides had in-depth communication, reaching an agreement on the cooperation details in the afternoon.
However, they did make one request: the store couldn't be on the same floor as "Polly." Xiao Jincheng readily agreed, "No problem!"
On the way back to the hotel, Xiao Jincheng couldn't help but laugh out loud, "These 'Poly' and 'Sevier' are truly sworn enemies. Both are high-end luxury brands that originated in Chongqing, and they deal in similar product categories, but they just can't seem to get along."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Uncle Xiao, they are a typical example of a couple arguing and divorcing, which brings misfortune to their child."
"Oh?" Xiao Jincheng became curious. "Is there a story behind this?"
She nodded. "I only found out from my aunt. These two brands used to be one company, founded by a husband and wife. Later, they divorced and, due to their constant arguments, split the company in two, which are now 'Polly' and 'Sevier'."
"Tsk!" Xiao Jincheng commented, "Judging from the current development of these two brands, I guess the reason for their divorce is that they are both too strong-willed. Such a pairing in the same company is indeed prone to conflicts and disagreements."
Jiang Xiaoli thought for a moment, "Maybe, you have a point."
She couldn't help but think of herself; at work, she was the one with a more assertive personality.
Zong Jia and Ma...
Just as she was thinking, she heard Xiao Jincheng say with a smile, "It's still better if you and Ayu are like this. Ayu listens to you most of the time, and in the very few special cases, she can calmly persuade you."
Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh out loud, "It seems that's really the case."
Xiao Jincheng nodded, "Yes, Ayu is really good."
After saying that, he sighed again, "Little Pear, do you think my expectations of Ah Le are too high? But with Ah Yu as an example, I really can't lower my expectations of him. Do you think my mentality is a bit wrong?"
She smiled slightly, "Uncle Xiao, you're overthinking it. You and Brother Le both sincerely hope that Xiaoyu will get better and better. You just have different perspectives, but your hearts are the same."
Xiao Jincheng chuckled, "Raising a daughter, there are just so many things to worry about!"
Upon arriving at the hotel, the group enjoyed a large meal together.
Xiao Jincheng raised his glass and said, "Securing 'Polly' and 'Sevier' in two days in a row has given us a great start to this business trip. Tomorrow, Friday, you'll have a day off. You can take your time to explore the area. We'll leave for France on Sunday afternoon!"
Zou Nan chimed in, "Mr. Xiao, are you going to Oxford to see Miss Xiao?"
Xiao Jincheng nodded, "Yes, the child is studying away from home, so we see him very rarely."
Upon receiving a glance from Zou Nan, Ye Tang quickly said, "Mr. Xiao, I have always admired top universities like Oxford and admired outstanding individuals like Ms. Xiao who are able to study at Oxford. May I accompany you to Oxford to visit and pay a visit to Ms. Xiao?"
Everyone at Jincheng Real Estate knows how much Xiao Jincheng dotes on his only daughter.
If she could cultivate a good relationship with the company's "eldest princess," it would be a good way for her to gain a foothold in the company.
Xiao Jincheng waved his hand, "Xiaoyu studies too hard and doesn't like socializing much, so I won't take you guys with me. But if you're interested in Oxford, you can definitely go and have a look; the atmosphere there is quite nice."
Ye Tang wanted to say a few more words, but Xiao Jincheng interrupted her, "Alright, we've booked train tickets for tomorrow morning, let's get some rest tonight."
As they were waiting for the elevator to return to their room after leaving the restaurant, Jiang Xiaoli suddenly spoke up, "Cao Jie, you've been quite busy with work these past few days, so don't bother them. I've booked another room next to mine, you can move in here."
Cao Jie was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, "Okay, I'll go back and pack now."
Ye Tang opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. Zou Nan, on the other hand, reacted quickly. He smiled and said, "We've been communicating about work a lot these past few days. I'm really sorry to have bothered Miss Cao."
Jiang Xiaoli didn't reply and walked straight into the elevator.
After they got off the elevator on the 12th floor, Xiao Jincheng asked, "Little Pear, what's wrong?"
She explained, "Uncle Xiao, when Cao Jie returned to her room last night, Ye Tang wasn't there, and Yuan Dong was watching TV inside. Do you think that's appropriate?"
Xiao Jincheng frowned deeply. "Is that so?"
Jiang Xiaoli said sincerely, "Uncle Xiao, some people may think that conduct issues have nothing to do with personal ability, but if a person starts to lower their bottom line in one area, it's only a matter of time before they are defeated in other areas. What do you think?"
Zou Nan was in her thirties and still wearing a wedding ring, clearly indicating that she was married. She really looked down on people like that.
Xiao Jincheng nodded. "Little Pear, I understand what you mean. I'll talk to them when I get back from this business trip."
Xiao Jincheng and Xu Feng had a very good relationship. Over the years in business, he had encountered many wealthy and powerful people with chaotic private lives, which he had always disliked.
But he never expected that his subordinate would do such a thing right under his nose, and what's worse, Jiang Xiaoli found out. He was filled with shame and indignation.
As they reached the doorway, Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao, you and Auntie are role models of an excellent couple in my eyes. What others do has nothing to do with you."
Xiao Jincheng chuckled and said, "I just feel that my judgment of people is really bad. When we get back to China, Xiao Lizi should come to the company more often and help me make some selections."
She quickly said, "Uncle Xiao, how could Jincheng Real Estate have developed to this scale today? It's not that your vision is flawed. It just means some people are too good at disguising themselves. We have a long way to go, let's take it slow."
Xiao Jincheng naturally knew that these were words she used to comfort him, so he smiled and said, "Alright, Little Pear, get some rest."
Soon Cao Jie came up carrying her large suitcase and reported, "Chairman Jiang, when I was packing my things just now, those three people didn't say anything, but the way they were arguing made me anxious for them!"
"Haha." Jiang Xiaoli said with a laugh, "Alright, let's ignore them and get some rest tonight. We'll probably be staying in Oxford for a day or two tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll go back to my room now. Call me if you need anything."
After spacing out in the room for a while, she noticed it was only a little past 8 o'clock, so she got up, changed into some sportswear, and knocked on the door of the room next door.
Cao Jie, dressed in a neat training uniform, opened the door. "Chairman Jiang, what's wrong?"
Jiang Xiaoli invited, "Can't sleep? How about we go for a run at the gym?"
Cao Jie replied happily, "Coming, coming!"
