Back home, Xu Feng invited the mother and daughter to have a late-night snack at her house. "No need to rush back to pack. I've washed all the sheets and blankets for you, and the quilts have just been aired out!"
Li Guizhi smiled and nodded, "Feng'er, I'm doing well in Kyoto, but I miss you terribly!"
Xu Feng sighed, "That's right! I'm just like you!"
Xiao Jincheng watched the two of them pouring their hearts out to each other and laughed non-stop. "Little Pear, look at those two, they're acting like they're worlds apart!"
While eating, Jiang Xiaoli took a moment to reply, "Uncle Xiao, don't you miss me?"
Xiao Muyu chimed in, "Don't even mention it! From the second day you went to Kyoto, my dad hasn't stopped talking about you for a single day!"
Xiao Jincheng rubbed his nose. "Isn't it because 'Jinghua' is about to open? Little Pear is a huge contributor, how could we forget her!"
Jiang Xiaoli turned her head and asked, "Uncle Xiao, what happened to the shares you mentioned a few days ago?"
As the opening of "Jinghua Commercial Plaza" approaches, more and more people are becoming interested in the project, including a person with a powerful background who has expressed his intention to invest in it.
Xiao Jincheng waved his hand, "I was just calling to vent to you, I've already taken care of things on my end."
"Oh? How did you handle it?" she asked, somewhat curious.
"Like you said, just empty promises!" Xiao Jincheng took a sip of water. "'Jinghua' is about to open, why would someone come out and interfere now? Where will 'Jinghua' open in the future, and how will it be invested? These are all unknowns!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled, "It's unrealistic to say that 'Jinghua' is such a big pie that it can be completely divided up, but the power must be in our own hands."
“Yes.” That was exactly what Xiao Jincheng meant. “You can rest assured that Jincheng Real Estate holds 87% of the shares in Jinghua.”
Jiang Xiaoli raised her glass, "Uncle Xiao, wishing 'Jinghua' a resounding success on its opening day!"
Xiao Jincheng now loves to hear these auspicious words: "Absolutely!"
Xu Feng chatted with Li Guizhi for a while, "Get some rest early, so you can be refreshed and ready for the opening ceremony tomorrow."
When Jiang Xiaoli returned home, the house was clean and tidy, and she couldn't tell at all that it had been empty for a month and a half.
Li Guizhi couldn't help but praise, "Your Aunt Xu puts in even more effort than she does at her own home!"
"Haha." Jiang Xiaoli paused in her brushing, and mumbled, "Xiaoyu's house is nice, it's all about warmth!"
There are just a lot more random decorative items...
Before going to bed that night, Jiang Xiaoli called someone who was in Kyoto and had been looking at his phone the whole time. The other person answered immediately.
"Hehe, just you wait for me?"
Zong Jiayu leaned against the headboard and adjusted to a comfortable position. "Knowing that, why did you call so late?"
She said with a smile, "You know, I'm so popular, Uncle Xiao, Xiaoyu will definitely want to chat with me!"
Zong Jia sighed helplessly, "Yes, so many people like Xiao Lizi, so I'm not that important."
Jiang Xiaoli was amused by his resentful tone, "The 'resentful woman' role is not suitable for you at all!"
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone, "Little Pear, I started missing you as soon as you went through security."
Jiang Xiaoli was captivated by his pleasant voice, and she promised in a soft voice, "It'll only be a few days, I'll be back soon, just wait for me!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoli rolled around on the bed with her pillow in her arms. She patted the pillow and said, "She's so clingy, like a little wife. Isn't this role a bit off?"
She chuckled softly after saying that, her heart filled with joy!
...
On October 1st, after washing up and having breakfast, Jiang Xiaoli changed into a custom-made suit.
She stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at herself. The overall light gray color of the outfit, with its loose-fitting jacket and slim-fitting pants, made her look much taller.
She circled around in front of Li Guizhi, "Mom, what do you think?"
Li Guizhi looked at her daughter's satisfied smile and said, "Great! You look so energetic! I'll make you two more outfits when we get back to Kyoto."
This suit was custom-made at a master tailor's shop, and it took a full three months from taking measurements to receiving the garment.
But the wait was worth it; Jiang Xiaoli is currently showing off to Xiao Muyu.
"Xiaoyu, what do you think? Do you have the aura of a business elite?"
Seeing her smug expression, Xiao Muyu didn't want to tell the truth. "It's just so-so!"
"It's just so-so—I guess—?"
Jiang Xiaoli gave her a disgusted look. "Xiaoyu, have you really gone crazy from studying so much that you've lost your sense of aesthetics?"
Seeing his daughter's discomfiture, Xiao Jincheng laughed heartily, "I think this little pear looks great in her clothes! Oh my, the little girl has suddenly grown into a young lady!"
Xu Feng also laughed and said, "Yes, you look really energetic! Who wouldn't call you Boss Jiang if you went out like this?"
Xiao Muyu looked at her mother, then at her father, and finally looked at Jiang Xiaoli accusingly, "You have once again successfully taken over my home."
"Hahaha!" Jiang Xiaoli came over and hugged her. "Who told you to say one thing and mean another? You can't expect Uncle Xiao to say things against his conscience to Auntie, can you?"
Xiao Muyu removed her hand from her shoulder. "Alright! You're dressed so formally today, don't touch me. Your clothes will look wrinkled."
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng pulled Jiang Xiaoli and straightened her clothes. "Now it's perfect. Shall we set off?"
They went back and called Li Guizhi, and the group went to "Jinghua Commercial Plaza" together.
Li Guizhi couldn't help but gape when she saw the crowds in the square. "So many people? Wow, it feels like the whole of Xijing has come!"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded in satisfaction, "Our opening coincides with the seven-day National Day holiday. With so many activities combined, it's normal for the foot traffic to be a bit high!"
Xiao Jincheng watched this scene with anticipation. "I've arranged for someone to record today's visitor flow. We'll know how many people came to 'Jinghua' tonight."
At eight o'clock, the ceremonial staff took their positions, music started playing in the square, and performers took turns performing to warm up the crowd.
At 8:30, the host announced the start of the event and introduced each of the guests present.
Today, four leaders from various units in Xijing City were present, and the district leader personally delivered a speech to express best wishes.
When it was Xiao Jincheng's turn to speak, his palms were sweaty with excitement.
Jiang Xiaoli gave him an encouraging look from the side, "Uncle Xiao, you're the best!"
Xiao Jincheng walked to the podium, all his tension vanishing.
"Distinguished leaders, honored guests, ladies and gentlemen, good morning!"
Today is National Day and also the opening day of "Jinghua Commercial Plaza". Thank you all for taking the time to attend.
...
Finally, we hope all guests have a pleasant shopping experience, a satisfying shopping experience, and a delightful time at "Jinghua".
Wishing all our guests good health, all the best, and happiness in your families!
Thank you everyone!
