It is said that the human stomach has memory, and it can even remember a certain unforgettable taste more deeply than the brain. Therefore, scholars have thoughts about water shield and perch, while most people remember the taste of childhood and their mother's cooking.
Most of Mr. Zhao's memories of food came from his previous life. As for the starting point of his memories in this life, it was the steamed buns Qiaoqiao gave him, the silver noodles she made, the duck blood vermicelli and wontons she made...
The delicious food cooked by Qiaoqiao has a magical power that makes him feel at ease. He feels empty inside if he can’t eat it for a while.
As a result, he ate too much at lunch without realizing it, and because he was so focused on eating, he didn't even notice that the atmosphere at the table was a bit weird.
In fact, he would pretend to be confused if he noticed it. Three women in one drama, this is almost like two dramas competing against each other. It would be strange if there was no small friction one day.
If you are not deaf or dumb, you can't be a patriarch. It's OK as long as it's generally acceptable.
After dinner, Master Zhao walked to sleep, stroking his round belly.
If he had known what was going to happen next, he would have wished he had never left.
Unfortunately, the great prophecy is useless to him...
So without his knowledge, the Iron Curtain slowly descended!
~~
As soon as he left, the girls ate a few bites quickly and put their bowls down.
The maid came in, cleared the dishes, served tea to the girls for them to rinse their mouths, and presented them with clean white handkerchiefs.
Another group set out herbal tea on the viewing terrace, burned incense, and invited the five girls to move over.
Li Mingyue and Jiang Xueying sat opposite each other on two single sofas across the coffee table, the former facing east and the latter facing west.
Ma Xianglan pulled Qiaoqiao to sit sideways on the long sofa, facing the beautiful scenery of lake and mountains.
Zhang Xiaojing sat alone opposite them.
One, two, three, and four were all silent, and the atmosphere was very strange.
Qiaoqiao tried to get up several times out of awkwardness, but Secretary Ma secretly pressed down her skirt with his fingers.
After the maids had cleared the dishes and left, Li Mingyue ordered her personal maid Acai to guard the door and not let anyone in.
"Including Master Zhao?" Ah Cai asked in a low voice.
"Including." Li Mingyue gave her an affirmative answer.
"You guys can go out too." Jiang Xueying took her beautiful briefcase inlaid with colorful mother-of-pearl from Xiao Yun'er.
Xiao Yun'er and Zhang Xiaojing's personal maid also withdrew.
Now there was no sixth person in the room.
Jiang Xueying then took a sip of the fragrant tea, put down the teacup and said, "The content of today's meeting must be kept absolutely confidential."
"That means only the five of us know about this. We must not reveal it to the sixth person." Li Mingyue also crossed her arms and said seriously, "Let's all swear an oath."
"What oath?" Qiaoqiao asked in a low voice.
"If it gets leaked out, you will voluntarily give up all the power you have gained today and disappear from everyone." Jiang Xueying said in a cold tone as he opened the briefcase with a snap.
She is a little girl, but she has been able to intimidate the Wuji gang of ruthless guys since she was a child, and she can also make all the people in the Jiangnan Group obey her. Naturally, she has a good grasp of the aura.
Coming from her mouth, these words were as intimidating as Luo Ji's.
"Oh..." Qiaoqiao shrank her neck in fear, and said with self-awareness: "I have a big mouth, so I won't participate."
"No!" Li Mingyue glared, and for the first time showed the arrogance of a noble, frightening Qiaoqiao so much that she trembled.
"Okay, I swear, don't scare me..."
So the five of them took turns swearing an oath.
Li Mingyue's eyes flashed coldly, and she slowly scanned the crowd and asked directly: "I am asking you now, is there anyone willing to take the initiative to leave my brother Zhao? If there is anyone who is willing to leave, I am willing to meet any of her conditions!"
Sharp gaze, blunt words, how could she still be the carefree little county lady?
A completely different person!
Now even Qiaoqiao realized that this was a serious moment that concerned her own fate.
It's not just about whether I can stay with Brother Zhao, but also about how I should live my future life.
"I don't..." she replied quietly.
Of course, she would not leave Zhao Hao. Qiaoqiao couldn't tell the reason. Was it because life would always be like the first time they met? Or was it because they had gotten used to each other's company? Anyway, she just didn't want to leave him, even if she died.
After saying that, she looked at Zhang Xiaojing. Qiaoqiao had just returned home for the New Year and didn't know about the drama that happened before the New Year.
Zhang Xiaojing blushed when she was looked at.
In fact, she was quite conflicted recently. The same meeting had been held once before on New Year's Eve, but she did not agree on the spot because their proposal was too unbelievable. If she agreed immediately, it would seem that she was not doing justice to her parents' education.
At that time, she said that she would think about it. They gave her a deadline to go to Jinling. If she attended the meeting, it would mean that she agreed. If she did not attend, she could leave at any time...
"I came here because I want to realize my great ideal with Mr. Zhao. I'm not greedy for that Jiangnan iron flute..." She convinced herself.
As for Secretary Ma, haha, without her secret promotion, how could there be the five-party talks today? I just didn't expect that a small Wei country like me would have the opportunity to share the world with Qin and Jin. There is no greater achievement than this, what else is she dissatisfied with?
Seeing that everyone expressed that they would not leave, Li Mingyue said, "Me too."
"Hehe..." The five girls chuckled, and the atmosphere eased a little.
"But no one likes to share, and I don't like it even more, especially my big brother Zhao." Li Mingyue sighed again, "But there is no way. Sister Qiaoqiao and Sister Xianglan came to Big Brother Zhao when he was at his lowest point, and accompanied him and supported him wholeheartedly. You two have long been inseparable."
After a pause, she looked at Xiao Zhuzi and said, "We swore to share happiness and difficulties. I can't forget my friends for the sake of beauty, so I can't refuse you."
Zhang Xiaojing blushed again. What was going on? But what else could she say at this moment?
Of course Li Mingyue is qualified to say this, and no one would find it strange. If she played the trump card of "Emperor's Marriage Granted", the whole group would be wiped out.
Finally, Li Mingyue looked at Jiang Xueying who was sitting opposite her and said with a pout, "Okay, I can't do anything to you."
Jiang Xueying has the support of the old man of the Zhao family and is also the president of Jiangnan Group. Who can stop her? Otherwise, Li Mingyue would have taken advantage of her long ago.
No matter where you are on the battlefield, your opponent remains restrained not because he is kind by nature, but because he can do nothing to you...
"I can't do anything to you." Jiang Xueying smiled. She knew when to advance and when to retreat, and she knew she had to give the young county lady enough face. After all, everyone could see who was stronger and who was weaker.
If Li Mingyue overturned the table and acted recklessly, she really couldn't resist. Of course, even if the young county lady could get Brother Zhao's arrows, she couldn't get his bow.
What good is an arrow without a bow if you can't shoot it?
"And last time, Brother Zhao expressed his stance again, saying that neither of them is willing to give up." The young county lady blushed and said, "Since he said so, I believe he can do it."
"I believe it too." Jiang Xueying nodded.
"This means that we can only coexist for a long time." The young county lady snorted and said, "Although it's very unpleasant, there is nothing we can do. There is only one Brother Zhao, and we can't split him up."
"But if you're unhappy, you're unhappy. If you don't handle it properly, the conflict will inevitably become deeper in the future." Jiang Xueying smiled faintly and took out a stack of draft contracts from her bag.
"Yeah." Qiaoqiao nodded vigorously to show her agreement. These two smiled all day long, but they were like mothers in their hearts. This made her nervous all day long, afraid that she would be accidentally involved and get hurt.
"So, during this period of time, we have seriously thought about whether there is a control mechanism that is easy to compromise and cooperate to eliminate differences as much as possible." The young county lady glanced at Jiang Xueying and said, "Of course, this kind of thing is definitely not my forte. The method was thought up by her. So you should talk about it."
"Okay." Jiang Xueying nodded, handed out a copy of the contract she had drafted to each person, and then explained:
"In fact, I am also learning from my brother. He showed me the magic of the company. In the company, a platform for multiple parties to participate, there are perfect rules to manage differences and form a joint force. There are many forms of companies, and one of them I think is very suitable for us, that is, 'partnership company'."
"Partner company?" Qiaoqiao blinked her big, harmless eyes. She had just completed literacy training with Sister Ma. How could she understand these terms?
However, this meeting was mostly for her, so Jiang Xueying patiently explained: "It is a form of company in which two or more partners own the company and share everything in it. The partners are the owners or shareholders of the company."
After a pause, she finally said somewhat embarrassedly: "It's just that our company is my brother. As long as you regard my brother as our company, everything will be easy to understand."
Qiaoqiao caught her jaw in shock. No wonder the content of the meeting was not allowed to be disclosed. If the young master knew that the business administration he had painstakingly taught her was actually put to use by Jiang Meimei.
Wouldn't he be mad?
So this is what Sister Ma said in the kitchen, about managing the young master... She thought she was going to sell him off.
But it seems to be about the same.
~~
"A partnership company has several characteristics that make it particularly suitable." Jiang Xue greeted him calmly, "First, it talks about 'limited life'. When we sign a partnership agreement, the partnership company is established. However, when new partners join, the old partners withdraw or die, etc., the partnership company can be dissolved."
"That is to say, there are only five of us as partners, and no one else is allowed to join." Li Mingyue said according to her own understanding.
"Yeah, yeah." This time the girls nodded in unison.
It was only then that Secretary Ma smiled bitterly and said, "Although it may seem like pulling the ladder out after climbing up the roof, we all don't want to see anyone else join in, right?"
"Of course." On this issue, even the two girls who are tolerant and generous would not be vague.
ps. Let’s stop here for today. My eyes are not feeling well, so I need to go to bed early and get up early!
