After closing the door, Jiang Yao was so angry that she almost cried.
But then she thought about it again. Liu Wenli was still willing to put on a show for her, probably because she wasn't sure about her current relationship with the Xiang family. She was frequently in contact with Xiang Nanzhi, and she was afraid of her.
Otherwise, if things had continued as they were before, I would have just had the nanny throw her things into the warehouse.
Knowing when to quit while you're ahead is the rule of survival.
——
The Xiang family group held a meeting and made significant internal adjustments. Everyone looked somber after the meeting. Shen Shixun noticed that the atmosphere was a bit off, but it didn't concern him much.
He took the documents and left the conference room, but was stopped by Xiang Jingyi's assistant.
"President Shen, President Xiang wants you to wait."
Xiang Jingyi was still writing something and didn't look at him, so Shen Shixun had no choice but to go back to the conference room and sit down.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Xiang Jingyi finally finished her work, replied to a message, and then put her phone down.
His posture was never deliberate, but he always sat very upright, wearing glasses, and his gaze was exceptionally penetrating.
Xiang Jingyi was good at judging people, but he had to admit that he had never truly seen through Shen Shixun.
"What's up?"
Shen Shixun broke the deadlock by narrowing his eyes slightly at Jingyi, "This is a document about the mine's cooperation with another company for mining. Please sign it."
Shen Shixun glanced at the title, then quickly looked at the contents, and signed his name on the document. "Liran Minerals?"
"Liran is a well-known mining company abroad and one of the world's top 100 companies that started mining operations."
Shen Shixun had never heard of this mining company; he hadn't even figured out the industry in Gucheng yet.
He handed the document to Xiang Jingyi and asked, "Is the company facing any problems?"
Why do you ask that?
"Cooperative mining..."
The Xiang family usually mines their mineral resources independently and rarely cooperates with other companies. Moreover, given the Xiang family's status and network of connections in the ancient city, there is no need for them to cooperate with other companies.
"Li Ran wants to enter the domestic market."
Li Ran wanted to enter the domestic market, and the first stop was the ancient city. The Xiang family also wanted to get involved in the overseas mining industry, expand their business scope, and cooperate to enter each other's mines, which could be considered a kind of exchange of benefits.
Shen Shixun didn't say anything more, and then said to Jingyi, "Li Ran's CEO, Li Luchuan, will be arriving tonight. You'll come with me."
"OK."
"Say hello to Zhizhi and have someone take her home. Don't let her drive alone."
After leaving the group, Shen Shixun returned to the mine and went down the mine with the miners to check on the situation. His phone, which he had left on the ground, kept ringing.
Gila stood on a hillside making a phone call, but couldn't get through. She didn't know how to send a text message either, so she didn't know what to do when the phone call didn't go through. She slunk back to her tent.
At first, Shen's mother was taciturn, but in the past few days she has become abnormal, singing and dancing, indicating a mental breakdown.
The medicine prescribed by Mamba didn't work, so she and Rooney had to take turns watching over her. They slept separately for several nights in a row, afraid that Chen's mother might run away and encounter some danger in the dead of night.
"Gira!"
"Mom, how are you, Mom!"
Gila sat on the edge of the bed, while her mother held a cup. "No, I won't give it to you..."
"You can't have the Buddha statue anymore..."
What Buddha statue?
Gila shook her head; she didn't know either.
Did Sehun answer the phone?
"No, my brother must be very busy in the city. He hasn't been back for long since then. My mother doesn't want to leave here. Can you take her to the city for treatment?"
Rooney didn't have this idea at first, but Mamba is the miracle doctor of the grasslands. If he can't cure her, then if we continue to let Chen Mu continue like this, something bad will happen sooner or later.
Besides, he and Gila also had to make a living, herding cattle and sheep, so they couldn't keep an eye on her every day.
Jira sighed, "Maybe we should just give up. Mother definitely won't be used to life outside. She only feels at ease here."
"So what should we do?"
Jira didn't know what to do either. "Old Black, let Old Black watch over her. When we all have to go out, let Old Black look after Mom."
Rooney frowned; this was the only way.
Shen's mother went completely mad; she didn't recognize anyone and would laugh one moment and cry the next.
Gila brought back a female mastiff, and halfway there her phone rang. In the open space, the noise was especially noticeable.
Gila stood on a slope and pressed the answer button, "Hey, big brother..."
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let me ask you and your sister-in-law if they're doing well."
Gila kept quiet about her mother's illness, afraid of worrying him.
Shen Shixun was busy with work and didn't have time to talk to her much. Jira's belly was also slightly protruding. Walking on the grass, she felt a little dizzy with the sun shining on her head. But not far away, Rooney was sitting at the door with Shen's mother, peeling potatoes. When she saw this, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
"I'm back!"
Rooney waved to her, and the old black dog behind him felt a pang of heartache upon seeing the female mastiff. Rooney patted the dog's head and said, "Don't worry, what's yours will be yours eventually, and what's mine is mine now."
Just then, Mother Shen took Rooney's hand and said, "He said he is Han Chinese and his son wants to have a Han Chinese name."
They went back and forth using the same few sentences. Rooney nodded, "Okay, let's take a Han Chinese name, Shixun."
Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded. Rooney thought the old lady was easy to please; he could just go along with her. Although he didn't know exactly what had happened between the old lady and that unfaithful Han man, he was happy as long as he fulfilled her regret.
"Let's call him Sehun, it sounds nice."
"It sounds so good, so good..."
——
Xiang Nanzhi encountered a shrew.
Faced with unreasonable demands from customers, she decided to back down. She's learned to be smarter now; she asks about the customer's needs before accepting an order to avoid creating unnecessary trouble for herself later.
Do what you can.
She would make it clear in advance that she would not accept orders from those who were nitpicky, demanding no cotton or jade, or making a lot of demands that she couldn't fulfill.
I never expected that something like this could cause trouble.
A female customer brought a little girl to the store to pick out a bracelet. Xiang Nanzhi did not make small-sized jade bracelets, so the girl picked out a piece of jade and made some requests.
Zhou Zilu took notes, and Xiang Nanzhi listened very attentively, afraid of missing anything.
When it came to the price, Xiang Nanzhi said, "We can make this bracelet according to your needs, but you need to pay a deposit in advance."
A deposit of 50,000 is required; this is Xiang Nanzhi's rule. The remaining amount will be paid after the product is completed.
Unexpectedly, the female customer felt slighted, saying, "What deposit? I said I want it, so I want it. I've already bought the jade. You're asking me to pay a deposit? Are you looking down on me?"
"I'm sorry, ma'am, we only offer custom-made products, and all custom-made products require a deposit."
The female customer got into an argument with her over a deposit, but Xiang Nanzhi kept her temper in check and patiently explained.
Everyone's attention was focused on this matter, and no one noticed that the little girl who came with her suddenly picked up the jade and started playing with it in her hand. As a result, she lost her grip and dropped it on the ground.
