Chapter 254
Jiang Meishu, "..."
Jiang Meishu really admires Qiao Jiahui, the sixth brother. This is what a human being would say.
She was stunned for a long moment, "Will your ex-girlfriend agree to this?"
Didn’t you say we can’t be friends after breaking up?
Qiao Jiahui is a good person. He not only wants to be friends, he also wants the other party to work for him.
Qiao Jiahui looked puzzled. "Why didn't she agree? She originally dated me because of the Qiao family behind me. When we broke up, I even gave her a lot of benefits."
"I'll let her work as a buyer for me, and I'll pay her a salary. It's quite a good salary. If she doesn't come for this kind of lucrative work, she'd be a fool."
So magical.
Jiang Meishu actually thought it made sense. After a while, she whispered, "Don't they say that people who have loved each other can no longer be friends? Can you still meet as superiors and subordinates?"
Qiao Jiahui chuckled. "Sister-in-law, if you like someone, you like them. There's no need to talk about love. It's a matter of mutual consent. If you no longer like someone after that stage, you can just break up. Why can't we just be friends?"
"My third sister taught me that all of her ex-boyfriends can become her network resources. Of course, my ex-girlfriend can also be used as my network resource, but I'm not as good as my third sister."
"My third sister's ex-boyfriends were all more powerful than the last. They covered all walks of life, including the police, the courts, doctors, business, and entertainment circles. I'm different."
Qiao Jiahui sighed, "The well-known girls in Hong Kong wouldn't look down on a good-for-nothing playboy like me, so I can only be compatible with the lower class."
Almost all the girlfriends he found were after his money.
Of course, he is not a good guy either.
He is lustful.
One is after money, the other is lustful.
It’s natural to still be friends after breaking up.
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment, "If the other party is after money, can you guarantee that he won't take kickbacks as a purchasing agent and won't embezzle money again?"
this--
Qiao Jiahui really couldn't guarantee it, so he stopped talking immediately. "Sister-in-law, you're putting it in a difficult position. You're just after money, and you've already put the pork belly in someone's mouth. How can you expect them not to take a bite? That's quite difficult."
Jiang Meishu, "That's right. I don't trust an outsider with such an important job as purchasing."
"Forget it, let me choose this person. Pick someone trustworthy."
Qiao Jiahui breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He asked cautiously, "Then sister-in-law, do I still need to come to work every day?"
"Please sit in the office, otherwise I will be too busy."
"The purchasing agent I'm looking for is probably a part-time job. You can learn from him for a while and then take over the job."
Qiao Jiahui, "Who is it?"
"My second sister-in-law." Jiang Meishu only just remembered that there was someone suitable around her. "She used to be a buyer at the Capital Department Store. She's been in this position for twenty years."
Before, it was because Qiao Jiahui brought some people from Hong Kong, and after Shen Mingying came to the south, she stayed in Guangzhou and had her own things to do, so Jiang Meishu didn't want to disturb her.
But now that things have come to this, having suffered a huge loss, she doesn't want to see anyone else engage in corruption and bribery, causing the Xiaodongmen project to be suspended again.
So, Jiang Meishu decided to go directly to Shen Mingying for help.
She was very quick. Once she had decided on the candidate, she asked Liang Qiurun to drive her back to Guangzhou that afternoon.
Coming to Xiaodongmen for purchasing is no small matter, so she has to go there to discuss it in detail.
When Liang Qiurun heard this, he was also a little tempted, "Jiang Jiang, how about asking my second sister-in-law to come to Hongtai to do the purchasing?"
He now has to take on several roles and is so busy that he has no time to spare.
Jiang Meishu, "?"
"Lao Liang, can't you handle this?"
She saw that the construction site at Hongtai had been going smoothly, and she didn't expect that Liang Qiurun was also short of manpower.
Liang Qiurun smiled and said, "We are short of people. Director Yang's ability is not as good as Secretary Chen's. Many things need to be done by me personally. If I can have a capable person like my second sister-in-law to help, the pressure on my side will be greatly reduced. However, this is just for the two of us to discuss here. Whether my second sister-in-law has the time and whether she can agree is another matter."
Jiang Meishu sighed, "I'm just worried that my second sister-in-law has a profitable business here, and she won't want to come over when the time comes."
"However, this also depends on whether we give enough chips."
Liang Qiurun was very calm, "You'll know when you get there."
The two of them did not come empty-handed. Liang Qiurun took two strips of Huazi, two cans of malted milk, and a box of fish maw that Jiang Meishu had asked her sister-in-law to help buy when she was working at the China Merchants Group.
It is said that this is an extremely good nourishing food for women.
Jiang Meishu took them all without leaving a single one, and they did not return to the Little White Building, but went directly to where Shen Mingying lived.
Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun both knew that if they returned to Xiaobailou and asked Shen Mingying to come back, Shen Mingying would definitely not refuse their invitation this time.
Because there is also the affection of the elders involved.
That’s naturally because of Liang’s mother.
However, Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun are not despicable people, and they are unwilling to use this kind of moral kidnapping to make Shen Mingying agree, so they went to Shen Mingying's house.
Shen Mingying lived on Siming Road, a distance from the Little White House, but not too far. Liang Qiusong had originally preferred to live in the Little White House, so he could live with his mother and take care of her.
But Shen Mingying disagreed and forcibly dragged Liang Qiusong out to rent a house alone.
Shen Mingying saw this matter very clearly. Jiang Meishu didn't even let her mother and sister come to live with her, so how could they, her in-laws' relatives, move in? How could that make sense?
Jiang Meishu likes dealing with Shen Mingying because Shen Mingying is a sober person.
It was past five in the afternoon when they arrived, but the sun in Guangzhou was still as scorching as a furnace, and it was scorching hot everywhere.
Jiang Meishu knocked on the door, but no one came back.
She and Liang Qiurun were not in a hurry. They found a sweet soup shop nearby, ordered a bowl of sweet soup each, and drank it slowly until half past six when Shen Mingying and Liang Qiusong came back.
Jiang Meishu was still dozing off. Liang Qiurun was the first to notice them and immediately patted Jiang Meishu on the shoulder. "Jiang Jiang."
Jiang Meishu immediately woke up, "Lao Liang, are they back?"
"Well, let's go over there."
As soon as Liang Qiurun opened his mouth, Shen Mingying noticed it, "Qiurun, Xiaojiang, why are you here?"
She looked at the red mark on Jiang Meishu's forehead and frowned slightly, "Have you been here for a long time? Come in quickly."
Shen Mingying urged Liang Qiusong to unlock the door while she talked to Jiang Meishu.
Jiang Meishu pursed her lips and smiled, "I came here a little after five o'clock. I never thought you guys were so busy, second sister-in-law."
"It's fine on normal days, but today is summer vacation. The batch of goods I released earlier didn't sell as well as before, so today's delayed."
While she was speaking, Liang Qiusong had already opened the door, and Shen Mingying immediately invited them in.
After they got inside, Shen Mingying saw what they were holding and immediately became angry. "You guys are the same. You're asking for gifts when we're your own family members. Do you treat Qiu Song and me like outsiders?"
Jiang Meishu was not angry. She put the things on the table with a smile and then slowly said, "I wanted to take it. I live in the residential compound of the China Merchants Group. My neighbor's sister-in-law said that fish maw is good for beauty and skin care, especially suitable for us women. I thought that you, my second sister-in-law, also work hard every day and need to replenish your body."
"As for the others, look for yourself. Which one isn't for lesbians' beauty and skincare? Only this cigarette was given to Qiu Run. You know he quit smoking, so he naturally can't use it. If he didn't give it to Second Brother, who else could he give it to?"
Jiang Meishu is really good at talking and can turn white into black.
Liang Qiurun next to him nodded.
Now, Shen Mingying stopped talking about this topic and asked, "Why are you here so late at night?"
Jiang Meishu did not hide it, "Second sister-in-law, I have some problems over there and may need your help."
"What's the matter?"
"My friend and I bought a piece of land in Pengcheng. Halfway through construction, the manager, accountant, and purchasing agent colluded and embezzled a large sum of money. I kicked them out. Now, there's a vacancy for a purchasing agent on the construction site."
Jiang Meishu held Shen Mingying's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, I really have no other choice. I can't find anyone. I don't trust outsiders either. I only trust you, second sister-in-law."
Shen Mingying was also happy to receive this compliment, but besides being happy, she was also troubled. "I may not be able to leave here. You know my business has only just started half a year, and it is now running at full speed."
Jiang Meishu said, "Of course I know that the purchasing department over there won't let you work full-time. You can just work part-time. Go over there once to buy everything, and then go back to Yangcheng."
"Besides, I'll pay you a pretty good salary."
"Five hundred a month, six thousand a year, will you come?"
This has increased five times. You know, when Shen Mingying worked in the unit before, she earned about 100 yuan a month. She worked overtime every day and wanted to live in the unit.
The part-time job that Jiang Meishu introduced to her paid five hundred yuan a month.
Cough cough cough, this is more profitable than doing business.
Shen Mingying was a little embarrassed, "Your salary is too high."
"This is what you deserve, Second Sister-in-law. I won't hide it from you. The friend I'm working with is a Hong Kong businessman. He's very wealthy and can afford this salary."
"Second sister-in-law, think about it carefully. If our purchasing is good, you can even take on this kind of work part-time in the future. Anyway, both Pengcheng and Yangcheng have many construction sites and emerging companies that need this professional position in purchasing."
Shen Mingying was really tempted.
Liang Qiusong, who was standing beside her, had already agreed for her. "Mingying, you go. I'm familiar with the business here anyway. When you go to Pengcheng, I'll take over the business in Yangcheng."
It is only because Liang Qiusong has gained so much experience that he dares to say such words.
Shen Mingying thought about her two sons who were getting married and needed money everywhere, so she no longer hesitated and said, "Then I'll go."
To Jiang Meishu, these three words sounded like the sound of nature.
"Second sister-in-law, that's great. It doesn't matter if you release one sheep or two. Why don't you just take over the procurement for Qiurun's construction site?"
"Don't worry, Qiu Run will pay you."
Liang Qiurun nodded. "Although the salary is not as high as what Jiang Jiang and the others offer, it's not less either."
He thought for a moment and said, "Part-time job, two hundred a month. If you are willing, let's sign the contract now."
They are not here to ask for help, this is clearly a boy named Shancai.
The monthly salary of 700 yuan from these two part-time jobs alone is more than Shen Mingying's previous salary of more than half a year.
She agreed without hesitation, "Okay, but how long will this project take?"
Jiang Meishu thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say if it's fast or slow, maybe one year, two years. But in the early stages, we can use the procurement department to hide. In the later stages, if the project is completed, there won't be much need for procurement."
What he meant was that you can take care of your own things by then.
This is exactly what Shen Mingying wanted. "Okay."
She was very quick. She signed the contract the night before and started working in Pengcheng the next day.
Shen Mingying has been a professional in purchasing for 20 years. She first went to the construction site in Xiaodongmen. After looking at the purchased items, she couldn't help but hold her forehead and said, "This is simply a mess."
Although the items purchased at construction sites and department stores are different, the purchasing position itself is similar.
Jiang Meishu also knew, "That's why Second Sister-in-law needs professional and technical personnel like you."
"Jiahui, come and meet me, this is my second sister-in-law Shen Mingying."
Qiao Jiahui immediately praised her with special compliments, "Hello, second sister-in-law, I have long heard of your name."
He was truly born with a superior appearance, and with the packaging of money, even Shen Mingying couldn't help but sigh that this young man was really good.
Shen Mingying nodded, "You're too kind."
"Since the purchasing is handed over to me, I have to keep the accounts and lists, find suppliers and manufacturers, and even negotiate prices by myself. No one else is allowed to interfere. Is this possible?"
With this series of orders, she is truly a strong woman.
Jiang Meishu's eyes sparkled. "Of course I can do it, Second Sister-in-law. I'll take full responsibility for purchasing."
If she doesn't even trust Shen Mingying, who else can she trust?
What's more, she is in charge of the accounts, so as long as there is nothing wrong with the general direction, it's fine.
Qiao Jiahui naturally did not object. He looked at Shen Mingying with some curiosity and nodded throughout. After Shen Mingying finished her instructions, he drove the two of them out so that they would not disturb her.
After going out.
Qiao Jiahui suddenly asked Jiang Meishu, "Is your second sister-in-law married?"
He thought the other person was a very charismatic person.
Jiang Meishu looked at Qiao Jiahui as if he was a fool. "I even asked her to call me Second Sister-in-law. Do you think she is married?"
"That's a pity."
As soon as Qiao Jiahui finished speaking, Jiang Meishu immediately became alert, "Qiao Jiahui, explain to me clearly, what is a pity?"
Why did she feel that this was weird?
Of course, Qiao Jiahui didn't dare to say it. He suddenly became interested in this strong woman and felt some amorous feelings. He was afraid that if he said it, Jiang Meishu would think he was a pervert.
He said embarrassedly, "I just think it's a pity that someone as capable as your second sister-in-law got married so young. If she were ten or twenty years younger, I would definitely pursue her."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
"Jiahui, can you please use your brain a little? Stop spending all your time on dating and looking for a partner. Even if you do want to find one, can you at least consider the other person's status? If Lao Liang gets wind of your thoughts, I wonder if he'll punish you."
"What? You still want to be Lao Liang's second brother-in-law?"
Qiao Jiahui calmed down instantly.
"No, no, I'm just thinking about it."
Seeing Jiang Meishu glaring at him, he immediately changed his words, "I shouldn't even think about it."
Jiang Meishu, "That's pretty good."
With Shen Mingying's arrival, Jiang Meishu and Qiao Jiahui did breathe a sigh of relief. At least Shen Mingying was in charge of the purchasing.
In just ten days, she had purchased most of the things that Xiaodongmen needed to purchase, and had also negotiated with the manufacturers and suppliers for the missing items.
Goods are delivered once every ten days.
If there were not enough goods in the middle, she also wrote down the contact information of these suppliers and manufacturers to Jiang Meishu, asking her to look up them in her notebook when the time came.
After making all these arrangements, Shen Mingying said, "I'm not needed here for the time being, so I'll go back to Pengcheng. If there are any large items that need to be re-purchased on the construction site, please call me and I'll come over."
Jiang Meishu sighed and sent Shen Mingying out.
She went to sort out the accounts again and officially started working.
In mid-August, Liang Rui suddenly called Pengcheng. Jiang Meishu answered the phone again. She was still a little dazed after receiving Liang Rui's call. "Liang Rui t?"
She and Liang Qiurun were so busy with their careers in Pengcheng that they were so focused that they forgot that they had an older son in the capital.
"Jiang Meilan."
Liang Rui felt a little aggrieved when he spoke, "If I don't call you, will you forget me?"
How did Jiang Meishu respond to this? After a long while, she slowly said, "Liang Rui, your father and I have been too busy recently and have neglected you. I'm really sorry."
Liang Rui was silent for a moment, "You don't have me in your heart, and my father doesn't have me in his heart either."
Jiang Meishu was not one to indulge him. Even after she had explained, he still didn't believe her. So she just started to yell, "Come on, your dad and I don't care about you, and we're still giving you several thousand yuan a month for living expenses? What the hell do you want?"
Liang Rui fell silent for a moment.
"I haven't spent the money you gave me. I'm saving it."
"I'm calling to tell you that I'm planning to apply for graduate studies at Hong Kong University."
This really shocked Jiang Meishu. "No, Liang Rui, why did you want to go to Hong Kong University for graduate studies?"
"Aren't you doing well in your school?"
He studied at National Tsing Hua University, which was close to home.
Liang Rui whispered, "Not good, not good at all."
"There's no one left at home. I don't want to stay in the capital anymore. I want to go south too."
Jiang Meishu rubbed her brows and said, "Liang Rui, don't be so willful. It would be best for you to stay in this school for graduate studies. That way, you will be familiar with your teachers, classmates, and environment."
Liang Rui said, "I'm not willful. I want to study business as a graduate major. The best business school I've learned about is Hong Kong University, while the business program at National Tsing Hua University is still in its infancy."
"My teacher also suggested that if I wanted to study business as a graduate student, I should go to Hong Kong University."
Jiang Meishu didn't know what to say now. She thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll talk to your dad tonight."
"No need." Liang Rui said quickly, "Whether you tell me or not, I have made the decision. I have also been accepted into the business school of Xiangjiang University. I am required to report before September 1st."
"I'm calling to ask you about the train I booked for the day after tomorrow. Is there anything you'd like to eat or use? I can bring it to you from the capital."
Liang Rui, who used to be rebellious and careless, seemed to have become a caring and thoughtful person at this moment.
There are obviously several things more important than bringing things, but he only emphasized this one.
Jiang Meishu's throat rolled, "No need to bring it, just come here safely."
"Liang Rui, your father and I will be waiting for you in Yangcheng. We will send you to study at Hong Kong University together."
When he went to college for the first time, she and Liang Qiurun were seeking development in Guangzhou and were unable to see him off.
Jiang Meishu hoped that when he went to college for the second time, she and Liang Qiurun could go to see him off.
She and Liang Qiurun will never have children in this life, and Liang Rui will be their only child.
When she and Liang Qiurun were in the purest love, she never thought of having a child and letting Liang Rui become his brother.
Liang Rui pursed his lips for a long moment before muttering, "Then I'll bring you a Beijing roast duck, two servings of soy milk, some sesame cakes from the hanging oven in Nanluoguxiang, and some braised tripe and donkey rolls from Wangfujing."
These were all the foods Jiang Meishu used to love to eat. She didn’t like soy milk, but people who live far away from home will miss even the foods they once hated after a long time.
After Jiang Meishu finished listening, she held the microphone tightly and said softly, "Thank you, Liang Rui."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Meishu sat on the sofa for a long time, so long that she didn't even notice Liang Qiurun coming back.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Liang Qiurun came in, he noticed Jiang Meishu sitting on the sofa in a daze.
Jiang Meishu didn't want to move, so she let Liang Qiurun walk over. She then raised her arm and put her arm around Liang Qiurun's waist. "I just got a call from Liang Rui." She looked up at Liang Qiurun. "He's coming to Hong Kong University to study for a master's degree."
As soon as these words fell, Liang Qiurun sat down immediately, his tone also showing some concern, "What happened? He was bullied at Tsinghua University?"
Otherwise, why would I come all the way to Hong Kong University to study for a master's degree?
Jiang Meishu shook her head, "That's not the case."
"He said he had no family left at Tsinghua University. His family had left him and moved south, and he wanted to come too."
"Plus, his graduate major is business, and the business program at Hong Kong University is probably better than that at National Tsing Hua University."
After listening to this, Liang Qiurun considered it carefully and said, "Then let's respect the child's opinion."
"Did you come on the date you said you would?"
Jiang Meishu said, "They said the train ticket is for the day after tomorrow, and the journey takes three days." She counted on her fingers, "The earliest it will be is August 22nd."
"Then we'll go back to Yangcheng that day and pick him up at the station."
Jiang Meishu naturally agreed, "I think so too."
"Lao Liang." She said in a low voice, "I feel that Liang Rui has changed a lot."
Liang Qiurun simply held her in his arms and cut her nails. "What do you mean?"
"When he came over, he asked me if I wanted anything. I said no, but he brought me a bunch of stuff."
"Do you know?"
"He gave me the impression that coming to Hong Kong for graduate studies was just a side job. He just wanted to get some local specialties and come visit us."
Liang Qiurun was stunned for a moment, "This is a good thing."
"Jiang Jiang, you and I both know that without you, Liang Rui would not have been able to transform into what he is today."
He hugged her, holding her tightly, his voice hoarse and low, "Without you, there would be no me now."
