"Butler." Jiang Quan glanced at the butler.
Maybe because Jiang Xinran has such high prestige in the Jiang and Yu families, they all forgot that Meng Fu is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family.
The butler lowered his head, "I am the one who offended you, Miss."
"Dad, if there are no questions, let's discuss my grandfather's question now," Meng Fu clapped his hands, turning the attention of the entire board of directors, "What case did grandpa want to focus on just now? Is it related to the Xiang Association?"
Jiang Quan had met Meng Fu many times, and in front of Old Master Jiang, Meng Fu had always been the well-behaved type.
In front of Yu Zhenling, Meng Fu acted like a "big boss".
…
In short, Jiang Quan had never seen Meng Fu act so cool before.
He looks more like a member of the Jiang family than Jiang Xinchen.
Jiang Quan sighed and said, "This matter involves the hermit family in T City, the Chu family. They don't care about political affairs, but are connected with several families in Beijing. The Incense Association recently lowered a material problem for MS, and there is a source that has been unclear. One by one, they are pushing the blame on our Jiang family."
...
...
"This is completely outrageous!" A director of the Jiang family was very helpless and almost had a mental breakdown. "But that's the Incense Association. If it really happens to us and we can't identify it, we will be held accountable. If we are really criticized by the higher-ups, then our Jiang family's stocks will collapse."
So the Jiang family has been boycotting these days.
In the Jiang family, only Old Man Jiang can come out to maintain order, no one else can.
Mr. Jiang was a strong-willed person. He had been a soldier all his life and had never been afraid of anything. He knew he needed to rest, but he still stood up at this time.
It's just that he has been thinking about this matter for so long, and today he hasn't found any good solution.
"Speaking of which, it's still our family's business. They are on good terms with the Chu family," another director frowned, "The Jiang family in the north of the city is originally from the same lineage as us, but I don't know why they want to kill us all this time."
These people are the backbone of the Jiang family, and every word they say hits the point.
The directors all heard Jiang Quan's words "the eldest lady of the Jiang family". They didn't expect Meng Fu to do anything, but they didn't treat her as an outsider either.
Meng Fu was smart.
As soon as they said it, she got the gist.
Hearing them mention the Fragrance Association, Meng Fu looked frightened. She couldn't help but raise her hand. She tilted her head and asked sincerely, "Is the Fragrance Association so powerful now?"
This sentence caused the directors who were originally discussing the appraisal of the MS case to fall silent instantly.
Even the silent butler couldn't help but look at her.
"Ahem," Jiang Quan couldn't help coughing after a while. He looked at Meng Fu, "Fu'er, you may not know what the Fragrance Association is. It is an organization in the capital. Every member of this organization is a person of super power..."
The forces in the capital are numerous and complex, and T City only has a stronger cultural and historical heritage. If it weren't for the powerful lord of T City, I'm afraid even the Painting Association and No. 1 Middle School and T University would not be able to defend themselves.
Butler Jiang and the directors of the Jiang family did not know the specific position of the Fragrance Association, but they also knew that a place in the Fragrance Association was something that the Tong family and the Tong family's natal family had fought for at great cost.
The Great Xia Kingdom was originally headed by the capital.
Not to mention Jiang Quan, even Grandpa Jiang had never seen anyone from the Xiang Association, nor had he heard of the name of this organization.
At this point, Jiang Quan sighed. He was really confused to explain these things to Meng Fu.
"Tomorrow we will make the final decision on the MS issue. We have just discussed the final plan with your grandfather. If the Jiang family cannot survive this time, we don't know how long it will exist. If it doesn't work this time, we can only transfer it to the main family in the north of the city." Jiang Quan looked at Meng Fu and changed the subject. "I have transferred all the property of you three brothers and sisters..."
When Jiang Quan mentioned this, Meng Fu naturally thought of the money that Mr. Jiang had transferred to her in the past two days.
Meng Fu didn't know the details of MS's matter. She had to go back and check it out. She also had to mix up the fragrance to heal the old man as soon as possible...
She had a lot on her mind, but she didn't say anything. She just stood up and patted Jiang Quan on the shoulder, "Dad, the Xiang Association is only bullying people from outside the city. I'll go back first."
In response to Meng Fu's words, the other directors of the Jiang family: "..."
Jiang Quan could only laugh, "Hey, go back."
After Meng Fu left, the directors in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment. One of them asked Jiang Quan, "Who is the eldest lady..."
"Artist, he's been filming these days." Jiang Quan had seen the photo the old man gave him. It was a still of Meng Fu in the theater. She looked pretty good.
Director: “…No wonder.”
No wonder he is so brazen.
**
Outside, Meng Fu frowned. She asked the Jiang family driver to drive her back to the rented house in No. 1 Middle School.
What Jiang Quan and the others didn't know was that Meng Fu was indeed right.
Beijing Fragrance Association is one of the four major associations in Beijing.
The full name is the Association of Perfumers.
But the Incense Association is the least respectable of the four associations.
The first among the remaining four associations is the Mercenary Association, abbreviated as Bingxie.
Ranked second, Painting Association.
Ranked third, Instrument Association.
Ranked fourth is the Perfume Association. This kind of special perfumer is extremely rare all over the world. Perfumers have a high status, but the Perfume Association is only ranked fourth, even lower than the Painting Association.
The reason is very simple. The four major associations exist all over the world, and the status of the four associations in each country is different.
The ranking is based on the performance of the four associations on Skynet. The Beijing Fragrance Association is not only ranked fourth in Beijing, but also ranks low in the world, because no perfumer from the Beijing Fragrance Association can enter the top 100 of Skynet's perfume rankings.
In this way, the Perfume Association can also be called "one of the four associations", which also affirms the status of perfumers to a certain extent, but the Beijing Perfume Association can only be ranked last among the four associations.
The Military Association sits firmly in first place for a simple reason: its president is the seventh ranked Skynet mercenary.
Although the members of the Beijing Military Association have never seen their president, it does not affect the Beijing Military Association's ranking in the world at all. The international criminal Red Spider that Su Di captured in T City last time only dared to run wild in T City, and might not even dare to touch the edge of the Beijing Military Association.
It’s very simple. The president of the Military Association is a god that no one can shake.
It is not difficult to find out these as long as you have a Skynet membership card.
But it is obvious that there are not many Skynet ports in the entire city center of T City, and the Jiang family has never heard of them.
Therefore, Meng Fu was shocked when she heard that the Fragrance Association had extended its hand to T City. If it was the Military Association, Meng Fu would not have any doubts, after all, they had the strength to do so.
Fragrance Association...
Meng Fu opened the door to the hall and went straight to the study.
There were many things in her study. Fortunately, she had been paying attention to Mr. Jiang's condition for a long time. Every time they met, she would take his pulse and had some understanding of his current physical condition. He had weak "qi" and "blood" deficiency.
Many medicinal herbs have been prepared in advance. Originally, we wanted to wait until Mr. Jiang's physical condition was at its best before treating the root cause. That would have the best effect, but obviously, we can't wait any longer this time.
Meng Fu crushed the herbs bit by bit and started working in the study.
**
"What is she doing?" Zhao Fan rushed over at five o'clock the next morning.
She called Meng Fu but no one answered, so she rushed over without even brushing her teeth. When she saw Su Cheng sitting in the hall watching a clip of "A Day in the Life of a Star", Zhao Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
She took off her shoes, sat down on the chair without any image, and wiped the sweat off her face: "Brother Cheng, it's good that you are here."
In the kitchen, Su Di was making a lot of noise and no one knew what he was doing.
Su Cheng didn't speak first, just glanced at Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan: “…”
She tried to sit up straight.
To be honest, since elementary school, no one has ever told her to “stand properly and sit properly”.
Especially when meeting someone like Meng Fu who is out of tune, Zhao Fan can easily be led astray unconsciously.
On one side, Meng Fu was pulling him crooked, and on the other side, Su Cheng gave him an indifferent look. That look might not have meant anything, but it made Zhao Fan unable to help but sit up straight.
"It will probably take some time for her to come out," Su Cheng retracted his gaze. He sat on the sofa, his back not leaning against it, his hands resting on his legs in a proper manner, and his tone was gentle and unhurried, "Wait a little longer."
"It's okay. Today is an extra day off. We should have gone to see Teacher Li, but I already talked to Teacher Li on her behalf last night." Zhao Fan waved his hand and explained to Su Cheng.
Today is Friday, and Meng Fu's solo scene in "The Bourne Legacy" was completed ahead of schedule. Zhao Fan's original plan for Meng Fu was to guest-star as the supporting role in Li Qingning's play today.
However, the look on Meng Fu's face when she left last night made Zhao Fan guess something, so she called Li Qingning in advance yesterday.
Li Qingning really liked Meng Fu, so he asked for leave from the crew without asking any questions.
Zhao Fan is worthy of being the agent chosen by Su Cheng. When it comes to arranging these schedules, she is more opinionated than others.
Basically, Su Cheng and Meng Fu both admire Zhao Fan's time management.
"Wait until I meet Teacher Li tomorrow, and then ask her to apologize in person." Tomorrow is the fourth episode of "A Day in the Life of a Star", Meng Fu and Li Qingning will definitely meet, and Zhao Fan has also made plans.
With Su Cheng in the hall, Zhao Fan felt uncomfortable doing anything.
There is a rhythmic sound of chopping vegetables in the kitchen.
As Zhao Fan spoke, he walked towards the smoking kitchen.
In just two weeks, Meng Fu's kitchen has changed a lot. The kitchen, which used to be empty with only a wine cabinet, now has all kinds of kitchen utensils.
Steamer, induction cooker, baking utensils, knives...
Not only that, each one is incredibly exquisite.
Zhao Fan, who doesn’t like cooking much and prefers to order takeout, would like to collect one.
She shifted her gaze from the exquisite blue and white dishes to the busy Su Di, "No, Mr. Su Di, what are you doing?"
In the kitchen, Su Di's phone was next to the stove, with a video on. He held a spatula in one hand and a piece of meat that looked OK in the other. He asked the person wearing a white chef's hat on the other end of the video, frowning, "Why does my taste differ so much from yours?"
He was tall and strong, with a strong aura, which made him look extremely out of place in the small kitchen.
The way he held the shovel didn't seem like he was going to cook, but rather like he was holding a gun to save the world.
Zhao Fan who saw this scene: "..."
Excuse me.
She backed out.
The top chef who was in contact with Su Di on the other end of the video chat was clearly trembling as he spoke, "Mr. Su, Mr. Su, it's...it's ready..."
"Really?" Su Di looked down and was still a little bit embarrassed, but he barely forced the chef, "Show me how to make the buns again."
A stunt chef whose main occupation is Western cuisine: "..."
He picked up the flour feeling aggrieved.
**
Seven o'clock.
Su Di came out of the kitchen, put the buns that looked pretty good on the table, then served the porridge, and finally brought out milk and tea.
Meng Fu drinks milk, and Su Cheng drinks tea every morning without changing for a hundred years.
As for Zhao Fan, he drinks whatever he likes.
Meng Fu also came out to look for food at this time. She probably didn't get much sleep all night, and fatigue could be seen in her eyes. But she was still young and had a good foundation. Even so, her complexion was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
"I won't go to Teacher Li's place. I'm going to look for my grandfather later." Meng Fu took a bite of the bun and raised her eyebrows. "This bun doesn't look like the one sold at the school gate."
"I know. I have arranged it for you. This bun was made by Su Di." Zhao Fan took a bite and was also surprised. Then he looked at Su Di, "Mr. Su Di, you can open a bun shop now."
"Indeed." Meng Fu also nodded.
She is not very picky about food, but——
Who doesn’t love delicious food?
Su Cheng rarely looked at Su Di and said "hmm" in a slow tone, "Not bad."
Su Cheng rarely praised Su Di, who always used a butcher knife, for being able to use kitchen utensils and doing such a good job in a short time.
Su Di was originally sitting next to Zhao Fan. Not very satisfied with himself, Su Di couldn't help but sit up straight.
"This chef is not very good at making steamed buns. I'm asking someone to find me a new one," he answered Meng Fu and Su Cheng respectfully, in a serious tone, "I will try my best to learn how to make lunch from the chef."
The famous chef far away in Beijing: "..."
**
Eight o'clock.
In Meng Fu's study, the last drop of lavender spice took shape.
A pair of robotic arms prevented the medicine from evaporating and directly put it into a familiar glass bottle.
She has a day off today.
Su Di concentrated on learning how to make lunch, Zhao Fan "gladly" went to be a food taster, and Su Cheng saw Meng Fu out.
In the back seat, Meng Fu pulled up her mask and called the Jiang family. The servant answered the phone, "Miss, the old man is not at home. He went to the company."
After last night, the Jiang family servants also became respectful to Meng Fu.
Meng Fu hung up the phone and raised her head. Su Cheng, who was in the driver's seat, had already turned the car towards Jiang's direction.
Jiang’s commercial building in the center of T City.
Meng Fu walked in through the door wearing a mask. The receptionist looked at her chin, recognized her, and spoke excitedly: "You you you you you you, Fu Fu Fu..."
"bite--"
In the elevator, Assistant Jiang came down.
"Miss," Meng Fu, who was standing at the door, said, "Come up with me."
Meng Fu nodded slightly to the front desk, then walked directly towards the elevator.
Jiang Yu pressed the elevator button and followed Meng Fu respectfully.
The elevator door closed, and the receptionist at the door lowered her chin. She looked at the little sister beside her like a sleepwalker, "What did Assistant Jiang call Brother Fu just now?"
"Okay, it seems to be the eldest lady?" The girls around her were not fans of Meng Fu, but they also recognized Meng Fu.
front desk:"……"
No, isn’t her idol a particularly poor person from the mountain city?
**
upstairs.
Jiang Yu was explaining to Meng Fu, "None of these entrepreneurs in T City dare to take this case. This is completely crazy. Even the Incense Association can't find out, so how can we, who are not professionals, investigate? They can't solve the problem, so they push it down layer by layer. Can we, Jiang's, accept it? The old man has been arguing with them all the time, and he has exhausted his energy in the past half month. Today, people from our family want to force us to take this case. Who dares to take this muddy water?"
Meng Fu also knew Mr. Jiang's character. He had been serious all his life, so if he wanted to force him, you could imagine how fierce it would be.
"The old man is furious inside. He refuses to sign. He is angry again. You are the only one in the family who can persuade the old man to stop being angry..."
Jiang Yu sighed as he spoke to Meng Fu.
"Relatives?" Meng Fu looked at Jiang Yu, "Jiang Ran's relative?"
Speaking of her family, Meng Fu thought of Jiang Ran, with whom she had some friction when she was on "Best Idol".
"Jiang Ran? I don't know if she's from that side," Jiang Yu had never heard of this name, but he explained to Meng Fu, "She's a branch that split from the Jiang family. They were originally at odds with us, but they also wanted to annex us. This time, because they got involved with the Chu family, they're forcing us to do this..."
As Jiang Yu spoke, Meng Fu already understood.
Su Cheng followed behind them with one hand in his pocket, his expression not changing much.
The three of them got off the elevator, turned a corner, and almost reached the door of the conference room. They could already hear a fierce argument inside.
"What kind of mission? How can our Jiang family take on this kind of case from the Incense Association? No one can do it well, so we have to find a scapegoat," said Mr. Jiang in a loud and hoarse voice. It can be heard that he was out of breath. "Jiang Bo, I know your intentions. You just want us to be cornered so that you can take over! But as long as I am still in Jiang's, we will never take this case!"
The door of the conference room was not closed tightly.
Meng Fu could see the person inside through the crack in the door.
One group is led by Mr. Jiang, including Jiang Quan and the Jiang family directors. Opposite them are the "natives".
The old man's face turned red. He could speak such a long speech now, thanks to the rest he had last night, otherwise he would not have been able to speak so fluently.
This is why the old man said that he would keep an eye on the case the whole time. Because with him around, as long as he doesn't nod, even the family members will not be able to force the old man to sign for the time being.
But human energy is limited, and the family members over there also know that the old man is at the end of his strength and can't hold on for much longer.
"Dad." Jiang Quan stood behind the old man, patting his back, his face full of worry.
"Grandpa, this matter was assigned to our T City by the capital. If you don't accept it, someone else will," the man named Jiang Bo looked at the old man calmly, "You want our T City to be blacklisted. Have you ever thought about the city lord's thoughts?"
He was not in a hurry at all. He leaned back in his chair and even laughed. "Old man, I know you can drag it out and not sign, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow when you are gone? You still have to sign. How long can you hold on?"
"You..." Jiang Bo and the others obviously knew that the old man was not in good health.
When speaking, it is inevitable that this point will easily make Mr. Jiang angry.
Mr. Jiang had not used any spices recently, and his body was in great deficiency. When he heard what Jiang Bo said, he pointed at Jiang Quan, said "you" for a long time, his face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"dad!"
"Old man!"
Jiang Quan and the Jiang family's directors were all panicked and quickly stood up. Jiang Quan took out his cell phone and called the old man.
Meng Fu, who was outside the door, also changed his expression. He walked over and reached out to hold Mr. Jiang's pulse.
When Jiang Quan saw Meng Fu, he didn't have time to think about why she was here, but talked to the hospital.
This was not the only time the old man fainted this year. The last time he fainted was when Meng Fu was a trainee, and Jiang Quan and others in the conference room became panicked.
"It seems that the old man is not in good condition." Jiang Bo saw this scene, and he was not anxious at all. Instead, he smiled and pushed the case forward. He looked at Jiang Quan and said, "Boss Jiang, the old man can't take charge of the matter anymore, but I can't push the case for you. Did you sign the contract on his behalf?"
Jiang Quan suddenly turned his head towards Jiang Bo.
"We won't push it," Meng Fu finished checking the pulse, then stood up and looked at Jiang Bo calmly, "We've signed the MS case."
"You?" Jiang Bo narrowed his eyes and looked at Meng Fu.
He thought about the people in the Jiang family and it seemed that it was not Jiang Xinran.
Jiang Bo thought about the famous young people in T City, but couldn't match Meng Fu with anyone.
A young boy who just started out dared to take on a case that no one in the entire city of T dared to touch. Jiang Bo couldn't help but laugh. He really laughed: "Who are you? Can you represent the Jiang family?"
Meng Fu pulled down her mask and glanced at Jiang Bo. There was no smile on her face, but her voice was polite and her tone was neither hurried nor slow. "I am Meng Fu from the Jiang family."
