Chapter 242
Looking at the contrast between him before and after, Jiang Meishu even wondered which one was the real Qiao Jiahui.
She said unhappily, "I think it's almost like you scared us."
Qiao Jiahui felt wronged. "How did I scare you? I'm so gentle."
Even though he was a loser, at least he had learned martial arts for a few days when he was young. He just didn't persist because he was afraid of hardship. However, he had no problem dealing with a weak man like Li Chengdong.
Jiang Meishu didn't bother to pay attention to him. In the last second, Wu Song was fighting the tiger so majestically, and in the next second, Lin Daiyu was aggrieved and weak.
He is really something.
However, Jiang Meishu was more concerned about another point. "Will you be okay if you offend him like this?"
Qiao Jiahui's attack just now almost offended Li Chengdong to death.
"Won't."
Qiao Jiahui was quite open-minded. "Even if I hadn't gotten this beating, Li Chengdong and I wouldn't have gotten along. We already had a falling out over the last land fight."
"What's more, I wasn't the one who made the first move just now. It was that bastard Li Chengdong who tried to steal my power. How could I not deal with him?"
If he can tolerate this, he will really become a waste.
Jiang Meishu understood. She patted Qiao Jiahui on the shoulder and said, "Be careful when you walk. Don't get hit by a club."
This reminded Qiao Jiahui, and he said seriously, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I will definitely let Ah Zheng follow me from beginning to end."
A Zheng was not even allowed to leave to go to the toilet.
Even if you don't have any urine, just pee a few drops in.
After Qiao Jiahui left, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun returned home. After washing up, she couldn't sleep, so she lay on the pillow and whispered, "Lao Liang, do you think Li Chengdong will take revenge on me?"
Obviously, when they first met, they had a good relationship, but now they have become cross-eyed.
Ultimately, it’s all about interests.
When interests are aligned, it is naturally good for everyone. Once interests conflict, it is natural for everyone to go their own way.
To be frank, he turned his back on me.
When Liang Qiurun heard Jiang Meishu's words, he simply put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her forehead. "Normally, no. Since he wants to win us over, he's targeting Jiahui."
In fact, that was not the case. With Li Chengdong's petty temper, they had completely offended Li Chengdong after they rejected him.
But there was no need to tell Jiang Meishu about this kind of thing, as it would only make her more troubled.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and whispered, "That's fine. We are still too young to fight against Li Chengdong."
Speaking of this, she remembered something and suddenly woke up and sat up.
"I seem to have forgotten to call my mom to ask."
“What do you want to ask?
After the two met in the evening, they were busy with business, so Jiang Meishu didn't have the chance to talk to him.
"Ask Zhao Xiaojuan if she's back home."
Thinking of this, Jiang Meishu couldn't sleep anymore, so she jumped out of bed wearing a white nightgown. When her feet stepped on the ground, her pair of slender white legs were exposed, which looked really beautiful.
The houses in the China Merchants Bank staff housing complex have telephone lines, but few families are willing to install them.
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun certainly didn't lack this little money, and they were doing business and couldn't do without the phone, so she sat next to the phone and called Yangcheng.
The phone rang for more than ten times before it was picked up.
It was Wang Limei, her voice a little tired, "Hello?"
"Mom, it's me. Have you found Xiaojuan over there?"
Wang Limei was so busy that she slapped her forehead and said, "I found it. I was so busy that I forgot and didn't call you."
"I found it at home ten minutes ago. I was so busy scolding her that I forgot to greet you."
When Jiang Meishu heard that they had found it, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, give the phone to Zhao Xiaojuan."
Wang Limei hesitated for a moment, then handed the phone to Zhao Xiaojuan. Zhao Xiaojuan called out with a guilty conscience, "Sister Meilan."
When Jiang Meishu heard her voice, her expression immediately darkened. "Zhao Xiaojuan, this is your first time delivering goods to me, and it will also be your last time."
"Leaving without saying goodbye and making everyone worry about you, I hope you only do this once. If you do it again, you will bear the consequences yourself."
Zhao Xiaojuan's face turned pale. She wanted to explain, "I was angry at the time, so I ran away."
Unfortunately, Jiang Meishu didn't listen to her explanation at all. "We are all adults. It's enough for us to be responsible for our own actions."
"Okay, call my mom."
Zhao Xiaojuan pursed her lips and handed the phone to Wang Limei with a bit of depression.
Wang Limei glared at her before picking up the phone. "What's wrong?"
Jiang Meishu said, "Mom, you've worked so hard today. If Zhao Xiaojuan disappears without saying hello again next time, you don't have to worry about her."
The microphone was not soundproof, so Zhao Xiaojuan could naturally hear it. She also knew that it was Jiang Meishu who was speaking to her.
Second warning.
Zhao Xiaojuan was indescribable how she felt. Just hearing her aunt Wang Limei agree, she was furious. "Aunt, aren't you afraid that I'll really get lost?"
Wang Limei said coldly, "If you're not afraid, why should I be afraid?"
"Zhao Xiaojuan, I can tell you very clearly that Guangzhou is much more chaotic than the capital. There are a lot of people who kidnap and sell women, turn them into prostitutes, and beggars. If you do this again next time, no one can guarantee that you won't be among those people being kidnapped and trafficked."
"Have you seen the hair salon outside our stall? Most of the women there are trafficked prostitutes. If you don't want to live the same life as them, you'd better behave yourself."
For Zhao Xiaojuan, who had just entered society, this was a darkness she had never experienced before.
So, when Wang Limei said this, her face immediately turned pale with fear, "Aunt, don't scare me, this society is not that bad."
Wang Limei sneered, "If you were really sold to a hair salon to become a diver, you'd be lucky. At least we could still rescue you, and save you intact. But if you were abducted and sold to an old widower in the mountains, locked in a house and forced to give birth to children, that would be a life of hell."
A young girl returned to Guangzhou from Shenzhen late at night.
Zhao Xiaojuan was lucky that nothing happened to her.
But no one can guarantee that he will be lucky every time in his life.
Wang Limei's words made Zhao Xiaojuan completely collapse on the ground, with cold sweat on her back. Only then did she realize what it meant for her to sneak back from Pengcheng.
Seeing her like this, Wang Limei was really disappointed. "Use your brain more before doing anything. Don't treat your brain as a decoration."
"You broke up with your sister over Qiao Jiahui? Are you crazy?" She raised her hand and tapped Zhao Xiaojuan's head. "Your sister brought you all the way from the capital to Guangzhou, gave you a place to stay, fed you, and provided you with a job. She even promised to help you get rich in the future. What can Qiao Jiahui give you?"
"you tell me?"
Zhao Xiaojuan said nothing.
Wang Limei was an experienced person and could see the girl's thoughts clearly. "You are attracted to Qiao Jiahui's appearance and his status as a wealthy heir, right?"
"Zhao Xiaojuan, I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Is it easy to enter a wealthy family?"
"What do you have that's worth Qiao Jiahui spending so much time on you? Even if he's willing to spend time on you, will his family agree?"
It was denied twice in a row.
Zhao Xiaojuan also lost her temper. "Why can't I? My sister can marry Director Liang, why can't I marry Qiao Jiahui?"
She's not that bad, okay?
It would have been better if she didn't retort, but this time Wang Limei was almost mad to death. If she wasn't the child, she really wanted to slap her in the face.
"You compare yourself to your sister? What do you have to compare yourself to your sister? Your sister at least has a pretty face. If not a beauty, then at least she's rare in this area. Do you have that?"
"You don't have a face, you don't have a figure, you don't have a butt, you don't have these excellent external qualities that a woman should have."
"Okay, forget about you not having one, but you're comparing Qiao Jiahui to Director Liang. Are they even comparable? Your sister was able to marry Director Liang purely by luck. Director Liang has good conditions, but he also has major shortcomings. He's in his thirties and has a troublesome stepson. Few people in the entire meat processing plant would dare to marry someone like that. Your sister didn't say she'd have a good life after marrying him. She built it up bit by bit."
"She is so successful that her husband, son, mother-in-law, and even her in-laws' relatives like her."
Wang Limei's words are really harsh now.
"Zhao Xiaojuan, if you had even half the looks, intelligence, and emotional intelligence of your sister, I wouldn't be scolding you like this."
"Who is Qiao Jiahui? He's the only heir to the Qiao family in Hong Kong. He's young, promising, and single. His only flaw is his philandering nature, but for a man, that's not really a flaw at all."
"With his conditions, do you still dare to dream of him?"
Wang Limei practically grabbed Zhao Xiaojuan's ear and asked, "Are you blind? There are so many good girls in Hong Kong, but he doesn't want them. He wants a foreign girl like you?"
"Is he blind? Let me tell you, even if he is blind, his three sisters and his parents are not blind. Do you really think that people in wealthy families just eat for free?"
Zhao Xiaojuan's ears were pulled so hard that they hurt. With tears in her eyes, she said stubbornly, "I know I'm terrible, but you don't have to say that to me, right?"
"Don't I have any shame?"
"You are shameless. If you had any dignity, you wouldn't fall for Qiao Jiahui. Is he interested in you? Does he like you? You are going to turn against the sister you grew up with just for a man."
"Zhao Xiaojuan, you really disappoint me."
After saying this, Wang Limei ignored her and turned back into the house, trembling with anger.
Watching Wang Limei leave, Zhao Xiaojuan stood there sobbing.
Jiang Meilan handed her a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it."
Zhao Xiaojuan looked up and asked uncomfortably, "You're laughing at me too, aren't you?"
Jiang Meilan shook her head. "That's not the case. I think you're pretty stupid."
"In our family, sisters have always been more important than men."
Even when she and Meishu exchanged marriages and wanted to marry Shen Zhanlie, during the saddest time, she still regarded her sister as more important than Shen Zhanlie.
She even thought about coming to support her sister after getting Shen Zhanlie's money.
Watching Zhao Xiaojuan, she even turned against the sisters she grew up with for a wild man.
Jiang Meilan couldn't tell whether she was disappointed or confused. "If you can't see past this, Zhao Xiaojuan, then you've been competing with Jiang Meilan for nothing for all these years."
After saying this, Jiang Meilan turned around and went back to her room without caring about Zhao Xiaojuan's expression.
Zhao Xiaojuan was scolded by Jiang Meishu in Pengcheng, and was criticized by everyone in the family when she returned. She couldn't bear it anymore and started crying under the quilt.
She is in love for the first time.
I was scolded to death just like that.
Jiang Meishu still didn't know what happened at home, but she could probably guess that what Zhao Xiaojuan did this time really touched upon a matter of principle.
I think he will be criticized when he returns.
She just hoped that her family could scold Zhao Xiaojuan and wake her up so that she wouldn't make mistakes in the future.
Jiang Meishu didn't ask about the follow-up results because her aunt was about to come to Guangzhou. As for what would happen to Zhao Xiaojuan in the future, she left it to her aunt.
She doesn't have much time to waste on things like this.
If Zhao Xiaojuan's identity were swapped with Jiang Meilan's, it would naturally be different.
After all, sisters are still sisters. Her elder sister has married a different man, and she is still thinking about how to get money from the man for her to spend.
Just for this reason, Jiang Meishu will support Jiang Meilan all her life.
There is no doubt about that.
Without Zhao Xiaojuan's trouble, Jiang Meishu can concentrate on her work.
Early in the morning of February 14, Liang Qiurun went out to busy himself with the preparations for the start of construction of Hongtai. After the construction of Hongtai started, it was necessary to dig the soil, but where to put the excavated soil was a very troublesome matter.
If Liang Qiurun doesn't take action, no one can solve the problem.
So he didn't attend the social gathering, but Jiang Meishu, the husband and wife, did. It was him who attended.
Jiang Meishu, after meeting with Qiao Jiahui, ordered a discussion, "I forgot the most crucial part."
"What?"
"You only bought food, but not women's skincare products." Jiang Meishu raised her wrist to check the time. "Go to the department store and buy some Yashuang brand face cream."
"We need at least fifty copies to ensure every sister-in-law in the family compound gets one."
Qiao Jiahui was still a little confused, but he always listened to Jiang Meishu and just did it regardless of whether it was right or wrong.
He nodded immediately and said, "I understand. I'll go buy it now."
Qiao Jiahui went out to do some work, while Jiang Meishu stayed in the family compound. She welded the family compound today.
I stayed with Meng Juan the whole time, not for anything else, but just to get to know more sisters-in-law so that I could develop future relationships.
In order to build this relationship, Jiang Meishu tried her best.
The social gathering started around six o'clock.
But it’s past five o’clock.
While Jiang Meishu kept looking outside, Qiao Jiahui finally came back, but he didn't bring anything, let alone Yashuang.
This surprised Jiang Meishu, but Qiao Jiahui shook his head at her.
He said he would improvise first.
Now Jiang Meishu was no longer anxious.
Because most of the people in the family compound are sisters-in-law, it is normally not easy for a male comrade like Qiao Jiahui to get involved.
But Qiao Jiahui's personality is undeniable. He grew up among women and he has a lot of tricks to coax women.
Jiang Meishu watched helplessly as he managed to become a friend among the ladies in the family compound in just half an hour.
Jiang Meishu was really amazed by what she saw.
This saved her a lot of trouble and she didn't have to make introductions.
Seeing that everyone was about to go to the Merchants Group to attend the social gathering, Qiao Jiahui bowed like a magic trick and said, "My dear sisters, I have had such a great time chatting with you today. I also know that it is not easy for you sisters to work hard for a family."
He clapped his hands and called Ah Zheng over, "Come, come, my sister-in-law asked me to give each of my sisters a bottle of Ya Shuang's facial cream."
"This is very effective. Not only does it stop chapping my face, but it also makes it smoother and softer."
As soon as these words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
"Why don't you believe it?" Qiao Jiahui immediately opened a bottle, scooped out a dollop of fine white cream, and rubbed it on the back of his hand. "Look, isn't it much smoother and whiter?"
He dug out a lot of flesh, and the female comrades present were all trembling with fear when they saw it.
Ya Shuang’s facial cream is so expensive, more than ten yuan for a set. How can ordinary people afford it? Even if their spouses are supported by the government, they would not be willing to spend money on it even if they saw it in a department store.
Seeing that no one was moving.
Qiao Jiahui handed them out one by one, "Hey, sisters, this is a gift from us because we both get along well. It's not something expensive, why don't you accept it?"
He smiled caringly, "If our women are beautiful, the men in the family will take a second look, right?"
Hearing this, Jiang Meishu's mouth twitched. If "we women" didn't know, they would think that Qiao Jiahui was also a lesbian.
However, although the words are not exaggerated, they do touch everyone's heart.
Some of these sisters-in-law wanted it, and they all went to look at Meng Juan, but Meng Juan was still hesitating.
Jiang Meishu spoke up, "Sister-in-law, this isn't a gift. It's a small token of appreciation from Jiahui and me. He just gets along well with everyone. Please accept it."
"And it's not unique. Everyone gets one. Jiahui only gave it to you because he treats you as his sisters and family."
"It's all friendship."
Qiao Jiahui speaks beautifully, and Jiang Meishu seems to be no less impressive.
As soon as these words were spoken, the sisters-in-law who had originally not intended to accept the gifts took them one after another.
No matter how much the gift is worth, at least all these sisters-in-law remember Qiao Jiahui. If Qiao Jiahui really plans to do something in the China Merchants Group in the future.
Having these sisters-in-law at home to help and speak for me is better than anything else.
"Thank you, brother Jiahui."
"He's even more caring than my own brother."
"Thank you, Sister Jiang, for your expense."
After a series of compliments, Jiang Meishu was able to remain calm, while Qiao Jiahui was laughing so hard that his body was shaking.
She is truly a butterfly.
After this batch of Ya Shuang was sent out, Qiao Jiahui also successfully infiltrated the inner circle of the sisters-in-law in the China Merchants Group's family compound. Even when he went to the social gathering, Qiao Jiahui was surrounded by a group of sisters-in-law.
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meishu was almost laughing out of anger. It really opened her eyes.
When we arrived at the podium inside the China Merchants Group office building, a big red flower curtain was hung high and red songs were playing from the loudspeakers.
Basically everyone here is from China Merchants Group. Most of the leaders who can only be seen during official business are here.
The batch of melon seeds, peanuts, candies and fruits sent by Qiao Jiahui had already been put on the table.
Meng Juan and Jiang Meishu were insiders, but the other sisters-in-law didn't know. Looking at the things on T's table, they were a little surprised. "Did our unit make a fortune this year? Why are there such good candies?"
They were all White Rabbit and Swiss candies, which had never happened in previous years.
Until now.
Meng Juan finally revealed the truth, "It's not that the company got rich, it's a batch of supplies donated by Jiang Meizi and Jiahui's brother."
At this moment, the sisters-in-law were immediately surprised. They looked at Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui with eyes that were like the good fortune boy, "Sister Jiang and Brother Jiahui are really good."
at the same time.
The leader at the main table in front was also eating and working, looking at the big red apples and Swiss candies, a little stunned. "Has the funding for the social gathering increased this year?"
It was asked by the big boss.
"No, it was Comrade Jiang and Comrade Qiao who moved into our family compound. They donated it to thank the sister-in-law of the family compound and the investment promotion office for their care."
"They not only donated peanuts and sunflower seeds, but also gave the children a batch of glass marbles and comic books, so the children went to play by themselves and did not come to bother the adults."
"No wonder."
"I was wondering why I didn't hear any children crying at the social gathering this year. This method is good."
"But, Comrade Jiang, what about Comrade Qiao?"
Section Chief Li immediately explained, "Yes, didn't we rent out the houses in our family compound earlier? Comrade Jiang was the tenant who moved in. It was her idea. Initially, it was to thank my wife for her help. Later, she thought it would be bad to give away just one person, so she gave away the entire family compound. Comrade Qiao was the one who—"
He pointed in the direction where Qiao Jiahui and his sisters-in-law were sitting, "Hong Kong businessmen from Hong Kong want to establish good relations with us on the mainland."
“So I specifically participated in this matter with Comrade Jiang.”
This was a well-spoken statement. The leader was a little unhappy at first, but after hearing this, his frown instantly relaxed.
"Yeah, not bad."
This is considered recognition.
Section Chief Li breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that this move was the right one. While chatting, he glanced at Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui.
I thought that these two were the smartest people, and they were also the first people to infiltrate the China Merchants Group in a fair and open manner.
Looking at Li Chengdong.
He got the news too late. After learning that the China Merchants Group was holding a social gathering, he hurried over with some fine cigarettes and alcohol.
These were all hard currency for gifts, but Li Chengdong never expected that before he even entered the door, he was stopped by the security guard of the China Merchants Group Security Department, "Comrade, outsiders are not allowed to enter."
Li Chengdong knew how powerful these gatekeepers were, so he held his breath and explained in a gentle voice, "I'm here to see your Section Chief Li and your Secretary Lao."
He has been trying to build relationships with these leaders these days, but while Li Chengdong has tried his best, the leaders on the mainland are keeping a tight lid on him.
We can't take it down no matter what we do.
Only then did he think of coming to the social gathering to improve his relationships.
The security guard glanced at him and said, "I'll go in and report it."
"What's your name?"
"Li Chengdong from Xiangjiang, the head of the Li Group in Pengcheng."
Li Chengdong explained and stuffed a pack of cigarettes into his hand. The security guard didn't take it and looked as if he was trying to avoid suspicion. Li Chengdong immediately took the cigarettes back. After the security guard left, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
However, the situation was pressing, so he didn't leave but waited obediently at the door.
As he waited, he discovered Qiao Jiahui's car, Qiao Jiahui's Crown, with the license plate number of three sixes that was too eye-catching.
It would be hard for Li Chengdong not to recognize him.
Li Chengdong narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, if a loser like Qiao Jiahui could get in, he could definitely get in too.
After all, in terms of contribution to Pengcheng, their Li Group wants more land.
in.
The security guard went in and whispered something in Section Chief Li's ear for a moment. Section Chief Li frowned slightly and asked, "Did he take anything?"
The security guard hesitated and said, "Yes, they took it. It looked like cigarettes and alcohol."
This thing is very expensive.
Section Chief Li subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"What's wrong?"
Secretary Lao asked.
After Section Chief Li finished speaking in a low voice, Secretary Lao shook his head and said, "It's better to refuse someone who blatantly wants to give you a gift, lest we let him in and corrupt our leadership team."
Section Chief Li sighed and said to the security guard, "Did you hear everything? Just tell him this is our internal social gathering and outsiders are not allowed to come in and visit."
The security guard nodded and left. When he told Li Chengdong about this, Li Chengdong was so angry that he almost cursed. He pointed at Qiao Jiahui's car and asked, "You wouldn't let me in, so how did Qiao Jiahui get in?"
"Qiao Jiahui?"
The security guard obviously knew Qiao Jiahui as well. He immediately raised his chin and said, "Comrade Qiao is definitely different."
"What's the difference?" Li Chengdong was very dissatisfied and asked, "We are all from Hong Kong, why can he get in?"
"He's a friend of women."
"You are!?"
