Faced with the question, Zhao Xiaofei said: "If I say I'm going to northern Myanmar, won't I worry that you'll worry?"
"I'm worried if you don't tell the truth! Northern Myanmar, right? There's no mobile phone signal in Northern Myanmar? I heard on the Internet that people in Northern Myanmar use China Mobile and the signal is very good!" Jiang Xiaomei continued to question.
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself, this woman can't be too smart or too knowledgeable. This is really hard to fool! So he continued, "Not all places in northern Myanmar have signal. I went to the mountains. That's where all these antiques were brought back from!" Zhao Xiaofei continued to lie.
"Okay! I believe you this time! I'll go with you next time!" Jiang Xiaomei said.
Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself, "Oh my god!" Then he quickly said, "If I could take you there, I would have! There are lots of poisonous snakes and insects in the mountains. Just treat it like a trip! I don't want anything to happen to you!"
After hearing this, Jiang Xiaomei chose to believe it, because if she continued to argue, she might lose this childhood sweetheart. So she said, "You don't want anything to happen to me? Do you know how scared I am that something might happen to you? What would I do if something happened to you?"
No one is more stupid than the other. I am willing to accept your lies just because I love you. Jiang Xiaomei still had doubts in her heart, but she didn't want to give up this relationship. She gently hugged Zhao Xiaofei and said, "Xiaofei! If one day you don't love me anymore, please tell me. I hope there are no secrets between us. If you have anything, please tell me. After all, we are going to spend our whole lives together!"
Zhao Xiaofei just hummed a yes and said nothing more. He thought to himself, holy shit! I finally passed this level! If I keep asking this, I really don't know how to write it. Is this a test of my screenwriting skills?
At noon, Zhao Xiaofei invited all employees to the mall next to the office building for lunch. Jiang Xiaomei emphasized the two talents that Mr. Qian had recruited. One was called Song Wenjie and the other was called Ma Wei. Both were in their forties and were quite famous in the antique business. They were mainly skilled in business and had a wide network of contacts. These were their advantages and resources. Zhao Xiaofei didn’t beat around the bush and said to them during the meal: "My dear brothers! I am young and I owe my entry into this industry to Mr. Qian. The company will need your efforts in the future. I won’t beat around the bush. You must bring out these newcomers as soon as possible. I won’t let you suffer any loss. For every newcomer you bring out, I will give you a bonus. You can discuss the specific amount with my wife, Ms. Jiang. She manages the money in our family! What do you think, Mr. Jiang!"
The two looked at each other and nodded. Zhao Xiaofei knew they had doubts, so he added, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about me teaching them and then I'll come back and destroy the bridge. I'll have Guan Xin sign a new labor contract with you, with no fixed term. How about that, you two?"
"Boss Zhao, that's great! No problem! We will do our best to teach them!" Ma Wei said.
"Boss Zhao is a straightforward person! He is worth getting to know. We would like to toast you!" Song Wenjie said with a smile.
The three of them toasted, and Zhao Xiaofei thought to himself, "I'll wait until you two teach this bunch of people a lesson, then you two can go home!" I'll even pay you back. "You two old hands, don't think I'm easy to fool just because I'm young." Looking at the looks in your eyes, especially the one named Song, I know Old Man Qian has also given you two some benefits. It seems I need to hurry up and train new people, and recruit some talent from outside. I don't want Old Man Qian to know about any small changes."
After drinking with the two, Zhao Xiaofei turned and said to the other new employees, "Dear new employees, I have something to tell you today. We will strive to open a branch in Nanjing by the year after next. We want to have a presence in both the north and the south. Those of you who perform well will be promoted and assigned to the new company to lead their own business. Of course, the salary will be higher, and we will have better treatment."
The employees applauded after hearing this, and everyone was very happy. They thought the boss was very ambitious and the company had a bright future. But Jiang Xiaomei glanced at Zhao Xiaofei and stepped on him again.
Back at the office, Jiang Xiaomei demanded, "Are you crazy? We sell antiques, not chain supermarkets. Why do we need to open two?"
"Nanjing is also an ancient capital, and there are many collectors there. Besides, Old Man Qian has a wealthy family and a great business. If he does something bad to us one day and we can't stay in Beijing, we still have Nanjing!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
"What harm can Old Man Qian do? The most he can do is to push up the price," said Jiang Xiaomei.
"What if one day our company surpasses him? Aren't you afraid he'll resort to some tactical tactics? He might help us now for personal gain, but what about in the future? What if there's no room for two tigers in one mountain? Besides, we have the resources and reputation within our network. We're nothing more than ants in his eyes. We have a lot of goods, but nothing else. What if he spreads rumors in Beijing that our goods are faulty? It's good to leave yourself some options open!" Zhao Xiaofei said. In reality, Zhao Xiaofei was preparing to make his fortune in Nanjing after the fall of the Ming capital.
"Why didn't I realize before that you are so smart!" said Jiang Xiaomei.
"I have a sense of crisis. I just saw the two people inside. They only reluctantly accepted the conditions they proposed to me. I guess old man Qian promised them something." Zhao Xiaofei said.
Zhao Xiaofei was absolutely wrong. Old Man Qian hadn't slept well in the past few days. Ever since he learned that Zhao Xiaofei had hidden treasures in Myanmar in addition to the thousands of antiques and paintings, he had come up with a sinister plan. The two men he introduced to him were certainly impressive, but Song Wenjie was actually his apprentice, and he asked Song Wenjie to tell him about Zhao Xiaofei's whereabouts. He also asked his son, Qian Cong, one of the owners of Rongbaotang, to hire someone to follow Zhao Xiaofei. They were eager to know the location of the treasure. If they knew the location, they could use their connections to find someone to take the treasure for themselves.
