Lu Ming was very career-driven, and he endured a lot of hardship to build this company. Now, the company he had painstakingly built has dwindled to just six people. The accountant, worried that Lu Ming might do something rash, quickly followed him. "Mr. Lu, where are you headed?"
"Go find that fat rabbit."
The accountant quickly pulled Lu Ming back: "Why are you going to see them?"
"Let's chat."
"You...you're not going to go settle scores with them, are you?"
Lu Ming glanced at the accountant: "How dare I confront her? She's surrounded by so many tigers."
"Then what are you going to talk to them about?"
"Let's talk business."
"What?!" The accountant's eyes widened in surprise. "You're going to cooperate with her again?"
Lu Ming nodded.
The accountant looked Lu Ming up and down. "Are you crazy? She's messed with you like this and you still want to cooperate with her?"
Lu Ming smiled at the accountant. "She's not messing with me. She's testing whether I'm qualified to work with her."
The accountant didn't understand.
Lu Ming continued, "She told me that her family has two rules. First, you can't do anything that harms the national interest. Second, you can't make money by dishonest means. I thought she was just giving me empty platitudes."
The accountant thought for a moment. "You mean, these people came to check on us today to see if we've violated these two rules?"
Lu Ming nodded. "Although our company has some irregularities, we have absolutely not violated these two rules."
The accountant frowned: "So, we misunderstood?"
"Hmm. I thought about it all afternoon before I figured it out. The reason they came to investigate us wasn't because I sent someone to claim the child."
The accountant looked at Lu Ming and said, "According to you, then... then we've been judging others by our own petty standards?"
Lu Ming nodded. "My intentions weren't pure. So when I saw Zhang Wenjun and the others investigating us like this, I thought they were retaliating against me. Actually, they just wanted to understand their business partners."
"This...this way of getting to know me is terrifying!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "This is not a method that everyone can afford. Although Zhang Wenjun and his men gave us a scare today, they also helped us get rid of those who were unwilling to share our hardships."
The accountant thought about it and agreed. "So you want to continue working with them?"
"Hmm. It's so refreshing to have a big tree to lean on. This big tree may be a bit strict, but only by being strict with oneself and those around the big tree can the tree grow stronger. If one is not strict with oneself or neglects to manage those around them, then it might fall down one day."
The accountant understands this principle. However, "You'd better think this through. I think those people will be paying special attention to our company from now on. With them watching, it will be much harder for us to do anything underhanded in the future."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I've thought it through. There are gains and losses. Advantages and disadvantages. Besides, these 'losses' and 'disadvantages' are not necessarily bad things."
The accountant still didn't want so many people watching: "I think you should talk to her again tomorrow."
"No. We have to talk about it today. If I go tomorrow, she'll think it took me a whole day and night to figure this out. Alright, you can go home now."
The accountant now knew Lu Ming wouldn't do anything foolish. But, "Can I come with you? I want to see what kind of woman can make so many outstanding men busy for her?"
Lu Ming thought for a moment. "I'll ask her."
"good."
The older sister and younger brother were cooking in the kitchen when Han Bin walked in with the older sister's phone: "Daughter, your phone is ringing."
My older sister is making meatballs and can't free her hands.
After answering the call, Han Bin held the phone to his sister's ear.
Sister: "Hello."
"Hello. I am Lu Ming. May I ask if I am qualified to cooperate with you?"
The older sister smiled. Zhang Wenjun and the others had already called her. "Just barely passed."
Lu Ming wanted to test his sister: "Next time they come, I'll try to get a 90."
"Um."
Lu Ming understood; the accountant was right. Zhang Wenjun and his gang would investigate him again like they did today. "I'd like to discuss a collaboration with you. Do you have time?"
"Tomorrow. Come to my club at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." The older sister told Lu Ming the address of the club and then hung up the phone.
Han Bin: "Girl, you've recruited another soldier?"
"Um."
While washing potatoes, Chou Chou said, "Grandpa, Chou Chou is also Mom's soldier."
Han Bin: "Yes. You are your mother's personal guard."
Ugly: "Mmm."
Just as Chou Chou finished saying "Mmm," her sister's phone rang again. Her sister hadn't even finished making the dumplings when Han Bin answered and put the phone to her ear.
Lu Ming's voice came through the phone. "Jie Jie, I forgot to mention earlier. My friend wants to meet you."
"girlfriend?"
"No. My friend is a man. He's my company's accountant. If we're going to work together in the future, we'll definitely have financial dealings. So, I'd like to introduce him to you."
My sister doesn't care about any of that. But since Lu Ming wants to bring him along, she doesn't mind meeting another person. "Okay. Bring him tomorrow."
Okay. See you tomorrow.
"See you tomorrow."
My older sister and younger brother have already graduated. My younger brother is preparing to study abroad. He's already contacted the school and will be leaving soon.
My older sister originally wanted to become a middle school teacher. But now she has a child. If she goes to school, the responsibility of taking care of Chou Chou will fall on Xiao Man and Tang Huihui. Xiao Man and Tang Huihui have already been helping my sister take care of her child for a year. Tang Huihui is getting older, and Xiao Man has already raised six children. Now that my sister has graduated, she doesn't want to trouble Tang Huihui and Xiao Man anymore. So, my sister decided to become a freelancer.
The next day, after breakfast, my sister took Ugly to the club.
At nine o'clock, Lu Ming called his sister. His sister came out and picked him and the accountant up. His sister's club was members-only. Neither Lu Ming nor the accountant were members, so his sister had to come out to meet them.
If the accountant hadn't known beforehand that her sister had a powerful background, she wouldn't have believed that the slightly chubby girl with a particularly sweet smile was the child of a high-ranking official.
After entering the club and sitting down, Lu Ming told his sister what he wanted to do next, and his sister gave her opinion after listening.
Originally, Lu Ming just wanted to find a powerful patron, but he didn't expect that this patron would be even more capable than him in business.
Lu Ming looked at his sister and said, "Yesterday, Zhang Wenjun said I wasn't convinced that I should work for you. Now, I'm convinced. Jie Jie, from now on, I'll work for you."
The older sister smiled and said, "I only care about the general direction. I don't care about the rest."
Lu Ming: "Okay."
The older sister extended her hand: "It's a pleasure doing business with you."
Lu Ming grasped his sister's hand: "It's a pleasure working with you."
After signing the contract, the older sister treated Lu Ming and the accountant to a meal at the club.
After finishing their meal, Lu Ming and the accountant said goodbye.
After they left, my older sister took Ugly home.
As soon as she got home, my sister noticed that something was off about the atmosphere.
As soon as Chou Chou saw Tengteng, he ran over and hugged Tengteng's leg: "Uncle Nao Nao, Uncle Tengteng, you're back?" Chou Chou couldn't tell Nao Nao and Tengteng apart, so he would call out to both of them every time he saw them.
The woman sitting next to Tengteng glanced at Chou Chou and said, "How old is this child? How can he be so stupid?"
Ugly looked at the woman and said, "I'm over a year old. I'm not stupid. Auntie, how old are you? Are you stupid?"
