Jiang Yaojie had never seen anything like this before. He froze and didn't take the silver from Shen Qianhe's hand. Instead, he looked at Jiang Ling and asked for her opinion.
Jiang Ling frowned slightly. She really couldn't understand how someone like Shen Qianhe, who was so open about his emotions, could run such a big business.
"Son-in-law, is it because you think it's not enough? Wait a minute!" Seeing Jiang Yaojie standing there like a wooden statue, Shen Qianhe assumed that Jiang Yaojie was dissatisfied with the money, so she quickly stretched her neck and shouted towards the door, "Butler! Butler!"
"Mr. Shen, this is not too much, not too little. The child has never seen so much money before, he was just frightened!" Jiang Ling didn't want to make this a public issue, so she quickly added.
Shen Qianhe glanced at Jiang Yaojie, narrowed her eyes, and said meaningfully, "Really?"
Jiang Ling quickly kicked Jiang Yaojie, who seemed to snap out of a daze and nodded somewhat flusteredly, saying, "Yes, yes, there are too many silver notes!"
“Oh, what’s wrong with that! It’s only right for a father-in-law to give to his son-in-law, take it!” With that, Shen Qianhe insisted on putting all the silver notes on the table, including the loose silver coins, into Jiang Yaojie’s arms.
Jiang Yaojie looked at Jiang Ling again, and Jiang Ling could only nod slightly.
Not only did the deal go smoothly, but Jiang Ling also secured a large order for Shen Qianhe. After giving Shen Qianhe a few more instructions, Jiang Ling prepared to leave the Shen residence with Jiang Yaojie.
Shen Qianhe originally wanted to throw a big banquet to welcome Jiang Ling back, but Jiang Ling refused Shen Qianhe's request on the grounds that her own factory was involved.
Upon hearing this, Shen Qianhe didn't know what else to say, so he could only personally escort her to the door and politely thank Jiang Ling again.
As soon as Jiang Ling left, Madam Shen walked out of the backyard with a long face. She was furious when she saw Shen Qianhe's smiling face.
"You're supposed to be Master Shen, even if that Jiang woman married into our family, you don't need to lower yourself like that! She's just a country bumpkin..."
"Shut up! It seems that staying in seclusion is not effective! Get back to the backyard and continue to stay there!" Shen Qianhe was in a good mood at the time, but upon hearing Madam Shen's words, he immediately turned pale and scolded her angrily.
Madam Shen wanted to say something, but she was silenced by Shen Qianhe's angry glare. She angrily flung her sleeves and walked toward the backyard.
As soon as Jiang Ling reached the village entrance, she saw the village chief looking around. Upon seeing Jiang Ling in the carriage, he immediately waved and stopped the carriage.
Seeing the village chief's slightly anxious expression, a bad feeling welled up inside me.
Jiang Ling got off the carriage and walked quickly to the village chief, asking, "Village chief, were you waiting for me?"
"Hurry up, something's happened at your shampoo factory!" The village chief's words made Jiang Ling's heart skip a beat.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yaojie and Nianci rushed towards their family's shampoo factory.
Jiang Ling quickly followed in their footsteps, asking as she ran, "What's wrong with the village chief?"
"You had only been gone a few days when a man came to the village with some kind of receipt, supposedly to pick up some goods. Lightning Mother discovered that the goods had been taken away a long time ago. The two of them were at an impasse for a long time, and in the end, we had to persuade him to stay!" The village chief briefly recounted what had happened.
Jiang Ling felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders; at least the situation hadn't spiraled out of control yet.
Jiang Ling and her two children ran quickly and arrived in no time. When Lightning Mother saw Jiang Ling, her eyes reddened. She walked shakily from the crowd, head drooping, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister, I..."
"It's alright, I roughly know about this matter. It's not your fault, it's my own negligence. Village Chief, please invite that person over!" Jiang Ling interrupted Lightning Mother, worried that she might feel pressured.
Hearing this, Lightning Girl felt even more remorseful, but she was powerless at the moment. She could only suppress her fear and stand there, occasionally glancing furtively in the direction of Jiang Ling.
Lightning Girl thought her little trick hadn't been noticed, but little did she know that Jiang Ling had already seen it all. She gently walked up to Lightning Girl, patted her shoulder, and said softly, "Don't worry, I'll handle this. You didn't do anything wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Lightning Girl trembled all over, feeling as if struck by lightning. An indescribable feeling filled her heart, and at that moment her eyes stung and her vision blurred.
"Don't cry, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Jiang Ling comforted her softly again.
Lightning Girl nodded, letting out a choked "Sigh."
A series of heavy footsteps approached from afar. Jiang Ling looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, dark-skinned, and muscular man appear in front of her.
"Are you Boss Jiang?" the man asked, his brows furrowed.
Jiang Ling looked at the unfamiliar man; she didn't seem to remember ever seeing him before. Nevertheless, she nodded. "And you are?"
"No, you're not Boss Jiang. Last time it was clearly a boy, how could it be a woman this time?" The man's brows furrowed even more as he shook his head in denial.
Jiang Ling turned her gaze to Jiang Yaojie beside her, asking him with a strange look.
Jiang Yaojie bit his lip and forced himself to walk up to Jiang Ling, whispering to her, "Mother, this...this is my guest!"
Although Jiang Ling frowned in displeasure, she didn't show it because there were so many people around. She glanced at Jiang Yaojie and said, "Alright, then Yaojie, you'll handle the reception!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yaojie stepped forward, bowed to the man, and said, "I am the Boss Jiang you mentioned, and this is my mother! She is also Boss Jiang!"
"My apologies! But Mr. Jiang, as a businessman, you should know that integrity is the most important thing in business!" The man's tone was extremely unfriendly.
Jiang Ling didn't speak; she simply looked at Jiang Yaojie.
Jiang Yaojie, somewhat displeased, opened his mouth and rebuked, "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by that? A man shouldn't hold back his words!"
"Hahahaha! Good! It seems Mr. Jiang is a man of principle. Then I, Zhao, won't beat around the bush. So, where are the goods I requested? Why do you say they've already been taken? Don't you all follow the delivery contract?" With that, Mr. Zhao threw a crumpled piece of paper on the table, staring at Jiang Yaojie with a "let's see how you explain this" look.
Jiang Yaojie picked up the delivery note from the table, examined it carefully, and then asked Lightning Girl, "Auntie, what exactly is going on here?"
Lightning Girl trembled at the question. As a woman, she had never seen anything like this before. She gripped the hem of her clothes with both hands and remained silent for a long time.
Jiang Yaojie frowned and raised his voice, getting a little anxious, "Auntie, what exactly happened? Tell me quickly!"
Lightning Girl was startled by Jiang Yaojie's voice, her face grew paler, and more and more sweat poured down her forehead.
"This... Honey, you tell me!" Lightning Girl finally turned her gaze to her man, hoping that he could step in and help her out of this predicament.
