"Attracting investment from abroad" is no longer a small-scale operation, but has reached a certain scale, making it more convenient to operate and more effective.
As for how to attract investment, Jiang Shan didn't say anything and then disappeared.
Rong Yue, the heir of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion and the head manager of "City State Logistics" in the capital, strolled down the stairs under the gaze of thousands of people. He arrogantly tossed his head and dropped an even bigger bombshell: "That's right, my Aunt Jiang is the big boss of City State Logistics! I am the manager of City State Logistics in the capital. The specific recruitment process will be announced in a few days. We welcome ambitious people from all walks of life to join City State Logistics!"
A petite woman not yet twenty years old is actually the behind-the-scenes boss of Chengbang Logistics!
Who would believe that!
Who would believe that if I told them!
But you have no choice but to believe it!
Even Prince Rong has said so, who would dare to object?
When Jiang Shan returned upstairs, the way the guests looked at her changed. They all greeted her with clasped hands and called her Boss Jiang, showing an unusual level of warmth.
At the same moment, the mother and daughter from the eldest branch of the Cheng family finally met.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried their hearts out. After they finished crying, they washed their faces and sat down. They looked more and more haggard than each other.
Overwhelmed with grief, Madam Cheng embraced Old Madam Cheng and said sorrowfully, "Mother, I can't go on like this! I don't even dare to go out now, for fear of running into Second Uncle and Cheng Mei. Yuan'er has also moved out, and I haven't seen him for days. My grandson is even harder to see! Mother, how can I go on living!"
Old Madam Cheng, her eyebrows drooping, glanced at her daughter with a heavy heart and said in a hoarse voice, "Your eldest brother has written. He wants to send his two children back and asks me for advice."
Madam Cheng dabbed at the corner of her eye with a handkerchief and said, "Then let's send them back. After all, our parents are still in the capital, which is better than that small rural place!"
Madam Cheng clenched her jaw muscles and said in a gloomy voice, "The Cheng family is no longer what it used to be. After the second branch of the family returned, the entire capital only knows about the second branch of the Cheng family. Who still remembers the first branch of the Cheng family? After the second branch moved to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, they never came back. What use is it for your nephew and niece to come back to the Cheng family, which is now so neglected?"
Hearing this, tears welled up in Cheng's eyes again, and she couldn't help but feel sad. "Today is the opening day of Jiang's Private Kitchen, and Yuan'er didn't even send me an invitation. Instead, he went to that mother and daughter to try and get close to them. He's almost forgotten who his own mother is!"
Madam Cheng's face darkened further. "I never imagined that Jiang was Cheng Mei's daughter. I underestimated them! Their family's position in the capital is now as secure as a mountain. Without the Pei family's help, we can't do anything to them!"
"Are we just going to let this go? I went through so much trouble to give birth to a son, only to have him become someone else's son. How can I accept this?" Cheng cried out in grief and indignation.
Madam Cheng glanced at her and said, "What's the panic! Since ancient times, etiquette and ancestral teachings have always placed 'filial piety' first, and the current emperor is a person of pure filial piety. This is our opportunity!"
Cheng stopped crying and said in a pitiful voice, "Mother, I didn't understand. Please tell me what you want to say!"
Old Madam Cheng said coldly, "We've come to this point, and we've already lost all face and dignity. Let me make things clear to you! If you're sick, shouldn't your sons and grandsons be by your side to take care of you? If this old woman of mine is sick and has no children to take care of her, shouldn't my incredibly capable son-in-law be by his mother-in-law's bedside to take care of her?"
“As long as they enter the mansion, in the eyes of outsiders, we will still be one family! Whether it is the eldest branch of the Cheng family or you, the head mistress of the Ministry of Works’ mansion, you are inseparable from the second branch of the Cheng family! In this way, your elder brother and his two children will have a chance to turn their lives around in the future!”
Cheng quickly wiped away her tears and said impatiently, "Mother, Yuan'er is not a blindly filial son. Please explain to me more clearly what I should do."
"This time we'll have to rely on your uncle's connections in Beijing again..."
...
After Jiang's Private Kitchen opened, Jiang Shan received posts from the elite circles of the capital every day.
There were all sorts of invitations to banquets where people could appreciate flowers, compose poems, and enjoy tea, as well as invitations to go out together, allowing Jiang Shan to fully appreciate the social circles of the noble ladies in the capital.
But none of them are her type!
She told Jiao's mother that she wouldn't go to any of them! If one goes, another will follow, and she couldn't afford to offend any of them, so she simply refused them all. Anyway, she didn't have any close sisters she felt obligated to give face to.
Jiao's mother felt this was inappropriate.
She intends to stay in the capital for an extended period, and such social interactions are unavoidable, both now and in the future. She has only just begun to make a name for herself in the capital, and should take this opportunity to get to know more noble ladies there; surely she'll find a few she gets along with.
Furthermore, given her current status as a merchant, establishing connections with genuine prominent families would be beneficial in the future.
Then, Jiao's mother pulled Jiang Shan aside and took out the profiles of some noble ladies from good families and of good character, and introduced them to Jiang Shan.
Let's go!
Jiangshan compromised, but with one condition: Jianghuai had to be taken along.
Jiao's mother agreed almost without hesitation.
After much deliberation, Jiang Shan chose the first invitation, from the daughter of the Minister of Revenue, Qin Yao.
Minister Qin is practically Fu Qiyuan's underling now, this is no problem at all!
Jiang Shan took Jiang Huai to the Qin family banquet. Accompanying them were Liang Chen and Fu Li, as well as a little follower named Cui Xiaoxiao who taught Jiang Huai etiquette.
Jiang Huai dressed up beautifully, like a true scion of a noble family, and did not bring shame to Jiang Shan in the slightest.
