As Zhou Erye was speaking, he suddenly said, "Oh right, I just remembered, aren't you and President Li old acquaintances? Why don't you let him make the connection?"
"Forget it, let's not bother looking for him."
Asking Li Luchuan for help is less worthwhile than relying on yourself. You just broke off relations and told him to get lost, so why would you ask him for help again?
She should try to get an invitation to the wedding.
However, her status as Song Ze's ex-ex-girlfriend is a major red flag.
After hearing that she was going to attend Song Ze and Zhai Ying's wedding, Jiang Yao immediately gave her a thumbs up and took a sip of Pu'er tea.
"I support you, keep it up!"
"Just cheering me on isn't enough; you need to give me some real support."
Xiang Nanzhi held her hand and said, "Jiang Yao, I'm in charge of this land now. We'll plant jujubes. I don't know anything about planting, but Uncle Sun can help. The seedlings will arrive in a few days, but finding a market is a big problem."
Such a vast desert, how many sand dates must there be? By the time they bear fruit and we find a market for them, the dates will all rot on the ground.
Jiang Yao quickly pulled her hand back, "You shouldn't make things difficult for me."
The Xiang family suddenly had a whim and, in order to deal with the enemy, sent Xiang Nanzhi as a last resort to take charge of planting jujubes on this plot of land and become a farmer. Asking her to take on these tasks was perhaps a test for Xiang Nanzhi, because it wouldn't be good for her if she meddled in other people's business.
"Jiang Yao, aren't you the most resourceful? You're my strategist."
Dog-headed strategist...
Jiang Yao cleared her throat. "Nan Zhi, I can do anything else, but I really know nothing about sales channels. I can make some connections at the teahouse, but they're all locals in the ancient city. Why don't you consider selling the jujubes abroad? I've hardly ever been abroad, how would I know any foreigners..."
"Don't be modest. We're in the same boat now. Use your brain and think of a way to help me."
Jiang Yao thought to herself, since Master Zhou had already given her directions, it would only be useful to go to the chairman of the Li family.
"If I had known, you wouldn't have said such harsh things to Li Luchuan."
"He framed Shen Shixun, it would be against all reason for me not to turn against him..."
"What I mean is, you can turn against him later, wait until he's helped you make the connection."
It was too late for Xiang Nanzhi to regret it; she had only just learned about the Li family's resources from Zhou Erye.
"Come with me."
Jiang Yao moved her chair back. "Don't joke around. Where would I go with you? I'm staying right here, not going anywhere."
"No, you have to come with me."
"No……"
"I'll try to get an invitation to Song Ze and Zhai Ying's wedding. You'll come with me then, and we'll sneak in discreetly, trying our best not to appear in public..."
Jiang Yao glanced at her large pregnant belly, "I can do it, but are you sure you can?"
“Okay, I’ll dress up as a woman, and you can borrow a suit and dress up as a man. We’ll pretend to be a married couple. There will definitely be a lot of people at the wedding. If you wear a beard and glasses, no one will recognize you. There will be so many people inside that no one will notice which side we’re from.”
Jiang Yao frowned. "You want me to dress up as a man?"
Upon hearing this, she immediately shook her head, "No, I won't dress up as a man."
"My best friend, my best friend for life..."
Jiang Yao refused no matter what she said, but she couldn't resist Xiang Nanzhi's persistent pleading.
The two went to the mall to pick out suits to prepare for their wedding at the end of the month. Jiang Yao was too petite; even the smallest size suit looked like a child wearing adult clothes on her.
Jiang Yao tried on several outfits but felt extremely uncomfortable. She was supposed to be a pure and ladylike woman, not this masculine style. Xiang Nanzhi was being ridiculous, making her dress as a man.
"Nanzhi, either you dress up as a man, I can't do it."
"How can I dress as a man with such a big belly?"
Jiang Yao was about to faint. "I have a heart condition, don't make me angry."
"I don't want to upset you. Don't worry, I will dress up nicely to be worthy of you and attend the wedding as a respectable woman. I guarantee that Song Ze won't recognize me."
"It would be best if..."
Jiang Yao picked out a suit from a pile of very masculine suits and had it altered to her size so it fit her slightly better. She said to Nan Zhi, "It can't be too tight, or it'll make you look too small. A little looser, okay, honey..."
Jiang Yao, with her long hair, was numb from her shouting, "Help! How can Shen Shixun stand you?"
Xiang Nanzhi was in charge of checking Jiang Yao's equipment, from suits and leather shoes to wigs, fake beards, and a fisherman's hat...
Jiang Yao looked like a monster; her small frame and beard were unbelievable even to herself.
Xiang Nanzhi handed her a cane. Jiang Yao stood in front of the mirror and sighed heavily, "What sins have I committed to deserve this? You really want me to attend my ex's wedding like this..."
Shouldn't you dress up, smile, and offer your heartfelt blessings at your ex's wedding?
Xiang Nanzhi made her seem like a monster.
"He's pretty good, like a fair-skinned young hunk."
"Have you ever seen a young, handsome man with a beard?"
"Wrong, it's a little wolfhound."
Ma Xiaorong was shocked by what the two did and stood aside without saying a word.
Thankfully, I didn't ask her to come with me, otherwise she would have been wearing this whole outfit, and she would have cried herself to death in the bathroom.
Jiang Yao's equipment was complete, but no matter how she picked it, she couldn't shake off the word "ugly".
"And what about you?"
"I'll see about mine later. Mine is women's clothing, no rush. You must keep this outfit safe."
Jiang Yao nodded, "But I have a question. You're worried that if you go directly to Chairman Li, you'll be rejected. Even if you get along well with him at the wedding, he'll still know you're Xiang Nanzhi when you sign the contract later."
That piece of land was indeed seized from Li Luchuan by the Xiang family. Chairman Li had no reason not to help his son. Using land that was taken from his son to grow jujubes and then trying to expand sales channels through him was something only Chairman Li could do, unless he was insane.
Xiang Nanzhi chuckled, "Don't worry, I've already inquired. Chairman Li is a Buddhist, and not only Chairman Li, but the Li family has been Buddhists for generations."
She skillfully tied Jiang Yao's bow tie, quite pleased with herself. "Before the old chairman of the Li family passed away, there was a Buddha statue he particularly wanted. It was said that the Li family ancestors had been eyeing it for a long time, but it disappeared for some reason. In order to please the old chairman, the current chairman of the Li family personally searched for it for several years and finally found the Buddha statue. Only then was the old chairman satisfied, and a few years later, the Li family's business fell into the hands of the current chairman of the Li family."
"What kind of Buddha statue is taking so long to find?"
“I don’t know either, but my dad showed me a Buddha statue. It looks very old and must be an antique from some dynasty.”
"Since the Buddha statue is with the Li family, what can we take..."
Xiang Nanzhi smiled and said, "Those Buddha statues are a pair. Chairman Li only found one, there is another one."
