Jiang Qiao had something in mind, and that was: Kering Group hadn't found a legal firm yet. Although their own internal legal department was sufficient, Kering Group was getting bigger and bigger, and many of the group's accounts and financing still needed the support of external law firms.
A few days ago, I heard from Director Li that President Lu is planning to look for a legal advisor. As legal support in addition to the group's internal legal department, it would be very good for the company to have the support of a larger law firm.
Jiang Qiao had heard this news for a long time, and she was confident of winning this case.
After all, it was she who facilitated the acquisition of Zhisheng Group. Even if they sought legal counsel, Lawyer Jiang Qiao would definitely have priority.
Thinking about what Zhou Xiao said again, Jiang Qiao felt like he couldn't move his feet.
She had no intention of interfering in Lu Kaiyun's marriage, mainly because she had no feelings for him.
There were so many people at the party, and if Zhou Xiao noticed the outfits of two people, others would definitely notice it too.
This made Jiang Qiao feel a little uneasy.
After thinking about it, Jiang Qiao wanted to give him something. He thought that he and his wife had a good relationship. Jiang Qiao thought, why not give him something that they both had in common, but not too expensive. If it was too expensive, he might not accept it. He also had to be considerate and make their relationship closer, so that the legal advisor's favor would fall on Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Qiao is not very good at giving gifts.
However, she had asked Zhou Xiao to check the date Lu Kaiyun and Yu Nian registered so that she could send something to their family.
Win over Lu Kaiyun.
Zhou Xiao came back and said, "Boss, do you think you and Lu Kaiyun are meant to be together? It's their first wedding anniversary next Wednesday, a paper wedding. What should I give you as a gift?"
Jiang Qiao leaned back against the chair behind him. "How can they have a paper marriage? What's the point of saying that Mr. Lu and I are meant to be together? You can't say that anymore. Do you understand? How can I live my life if this gets out?"
"Yes, yes, you are right. What do you want to give as a gift?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"I don't know, what do you think? Not too expensive, but exquisite." Jiang Qiao said.
Zhou Xiao thought for a moment. "Our lawyer Xia is in Hangzhou right now. Let her help us buy some. She's married and has experience, so she's better than the two of us. What do you think? Hangzhou is a place with many talented people and beautiful scenery."
Jiang Qiao slammed the table and said, "It's settled!"
The next day, Lawyer Xia placed a mandarin duck brocade in front of Jiang Qiao.
On the scarlet velvet base, two mandarin ducks were playing in the water. The velvet took up quite a bit of space and looked like a tapestry. There were tiny pearl tassels underneath, which was so beautiful that even Jiang Qiao couldn't let it go. She said, "When I get married, give me this as a gift. It's so beautiful."
"Boss, if you think it looks good, why don't you keep it?" Zhou Xiao said again.
"You're the only one who talks too much!"
Lawyer Xia also spoke up, "We'd like to give it to you, but where's your significant other, Boss?"
Jiang Qiao looked up and gave Lawyer Xia a cold look.
This piece of mandarin duck brocade costs more than 40,000 yuan. It is hand-embroidered and a handicraft, so it is not expensive. Jiang Qiao asked Zhou Xiao to express it to Lu Kaiyun, and he will probably receive it tomorrow.
Jiang Qiao had not told Lu Kaiyun before, nor did he tell him the order number. He probably thought that as a grown man, he would not like this. It was just a paper marriage, so at least it had some meaning.
If he and Yu Nian have a good relationship, then this gift is the right one. If they don't, then this is just a blessing. No one would hit someone who smiles at them, right? Jiang Qiao thought so.
Lu Kaiyun did receive it and sent it to the company.
When he opened it, he saw the beautifully wrapped piece of brocade. On it was a handwritten note. Written on the exquisite paper was: Wishing Mr. and Mrs. Lu a loving marriage and a happy paper wedding! Signed: Jiang Qiao.
He unfolded the brocade and saw the two mandarin ducks vividly floating in the water.
You have good taste. This brocade looks really classy and suitable for hanging on the wall at home.
Just at this moment, Director Li came in and said, "Mr. Lu, what should we do about the situation we discussed before about finding a legal advisor? I think Jiang——"
"Bidding." Lu Kaiyun said coldly while sitting on a chair.
"Bidding? Is it just a show? Give the trump card to Jiang——" Director Li said. They had held a meeting before, and everyone felt that Jiang Qiao Law Firm was well-qualified and excellent in all aspects.
"Not to anyone," Mr. Lu said. "That's it."
Director Li went out full of doubts.
Lu Kaiyun hung this brocade in the old lady's waterside villa.
After seeing this, Xue Shaolan smiled happily and said, "The person who gave this gift is really a good person, isn't he? I know it's your first wedding anniversary with Nian Nian."
"Yes." Lu Kaiyun sat on the sofa and squinted his eyes to look at the brocade.
The gift was indeed carefully chosen, except that the blessing words were written a little carelessly.
"Who is the person who gave the gift? You have to take better care of him." The old lady said again.
"Yes." Lu Kaiyun said "yes" again.
"But speaking of which, Nian Nian is out filming. Will your desire to have a child be delayed for a few more months?" the old lady continued.
"Yes." Tonight, Lu Kaiyun said "yes" three times in a row.
The old lady's wall is specially used to hang paintings and various fabrics in styles from all over the world. Some were brought back by Lu Kaiyun when he went abroad, some were brought back by Yu Nian from the crew, and there are also some very valuable paintings.
Lu Kaiyun took a picture, and because he was far away, he was able to capture the entire wall.
The highlight is the mandarin duck brocade tapestry that Jiang Qiao gave me. After I took the photo, I sent it to Jiang Qiao and wrote: Thank you, Miss Jiang.
Jiang Qiao was working in his office when he saw Lu Kaiyun say "thank you". He thought to himself, it seems that he likes it very much. If he likes it, Jiang Qiao will feel relieved.
When Jiang Qiao enlarged the photo, he unexpectedly saw a painting hanging in the corner of the wall. Seeing the painting, Jiang Qiao's heart suddenly jumped again. The painting seemed to be a landscape painting. This painting was different from other paintings. It carried the persistence and spirit of Tang children in painting. Because it was very far away, when it was enlarged, the whole painting became blurry and unclear.
Jiang Qiao was extremely anxious. She circled the painting and said, "Please, Mr. Lu, take a detailed photo of this painting for me."
Lu Kaiyun looked up, walked over, took a picture, and sent the complete painting to Jiang Qiao.
Jiang Qiao immediately covered his mouth. It was that painting, the one that Jiang Zhou had painted. Grandpa was going to sell it, but when Jiang Qiao went there, it had already been bought by a mysterious person.
Maybe it was because Jiang Zhou had passed away, or maybe it was because Jiang Zhou had few relatives in this world and didn't know who his parents were until he died. Jiang Qiao felt pity for Jiang Zhou as an older sister, as well as many other emotions. At this moment, Jiang Qiao couldn't hold back and really wanted to show it to her grandfather.
This matter must be kept secret from my parents.
