Chapter 05 Cutting Through Thorns and Brambles
The elder, who was of the same generation as Aunt Hong, was surprised and asked Xu Si: "Xu Si, didn't you invest in children's clothing?"
Yue Shan also felt a sense of melancholy, "Indeed."
In the world of rivers and lakes, there was no visit to a beauty salon; I simply managed my appearance myself. I applied only a primer on my face, brushed my eyelashes, did not use eyeshadow, did not apply any setting powder, and my lipstick was very subtle. My hair was neatly tucked behind my ears.
The designer presented several pairs of sample shoes, which closely resembled the early production of the Gongzi Liberation shoes by Tengyue, but were much more stylish. The shoe upper was firm, the rubber sole was very smooth, and the height of the shoe collar was increased
The world of Jianghu is still adding fuel to the fire, "The designer will bring over the new sample shoes in the afternoon"
She handed the questionnaire to Xu Si and instructed Zhang Sheng to call a female worker to try on the women's shoes, personally tying the shoelaces for the worker
Pei Zhiyuan was enraged after reading it, exclaiming: "So they have been in cahoots for so long!"
The rivers and lakes leisurely remarked: "Of course, as long as none of my workers are missing, my uncle will not succeed in digging up anyone."
Hearing her mention her father, Yue Shan's face turned innocently red for a moment, and then she sighed, "Times have changed, but we cannot indulge them."
Xu Si was exchanging pleasantries, but her thoughts were focused on the martial world. She was addressing a media executive, nearly fifty years old, as "sister," while that lady usually interacted with Hong Die as an equal.
Zhang Sheng was momentarily taken aback, and could only limp in, bowing to him, "Hello, Chairman." He then stood there, not daring to speak.
The rivers and lakes say: "How can one drive a luxury car here? There are golden cups in the factory"
The cat, having tangled the ball of yarn, now finds itself at a loss, increasingly fearful of its next course of action
After much contemplation over several days regarding the matters of the world, I have considered numerous approaches. Relying on others and leveraging connections are methods that cannot be avoided in the current situation we face. Rather than seeking distant solutions, it is more prudent to devise strategies that are closer at hand
The world of rivers and lakes has quieted down; it is not without its awkwardness, as she sensed that he was not in a particularly pleasant mood
In the bustling workshop, Pei Zhiyuan, who used to ingratiate himself in front of Xu Si, now had a grim expression, his veins bulging as he sternly shouted in front of a crowd of workers: "Old Liu, you have been working in the factory for so many years, do you not know the rules? What kind of behavior is it to play cards here after lunch instead of taking a proper rest?"
Pei Zhiyuan made several trips to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the Pearl River Delta, and indeed found some good workers. Once the recruitment of personnel was nearly complete, the underworld would not be lenient towards Liu Jun.
On that day, when he hinted to the workers in the underworld that gambling during the afternoon break was rampant, it happened to be overheard by Pei Zhiyuan. For some reason, in recent days, Pei Zhiyuan's anger towards Liu Jun and his group had been growing stronger, and he seized this opportunity to unleash his fury.
He lagged half a step behind her, walking out together, and took a good look at her attire from behind. The young lady is unusually understated today; is she planning to become a nun?
Xu Si remained silent, merely casting a glance at the rivers and lakes
Xu Si possesses a suitable degree of generosity and humor, along with a keen sense of responsiveness. He is not merely a superficial wealthy man as depicted in jokes. She conveyed her actual thoughts to him, saying, "Today, dining with the media is intended to leverage their platform to shout out the new actions and new strengths of Tengyue."
On the east side of the office, there is a small window, and on the windowsill sits a pot of cactus. This is the only plant in the room. Below the windowsill is a light wood-colored writing desk from IKEA, which is slightly lower than a typical writing desk to accommodate an office chair. However, the office chair is not actually an office chair, but rather a single armchair intended for home use, topped with a soft, fluffy white cushion, which must be very comfortable to sit on
This scene fell within Xu Si's view, yet he pondered whether she possessed a hint of girlish shyness. With her head lowered, she focused solely on her footsteps; was she afraid to face him?
The Jianghu says: "We are preparing to hold a hand-drawn shoe design competition, organized at the university, with prizes and monetary awards."
In the world of rivers and lakes, eating appears to be bold, as one directly spreads caviar, resembling toothpaste, onto bread. However, in reality, no one notices that when she squeezes the aluminum tube, she does so gradually from the tail end, ensuring that the tube does not break and that not a single inch of caviar is wasted
Xu Si thought for a moment and recalled that Qi Si Tian's film debut seemed to have been selected by the Tokyo Film Festival committee, perhaps with a chance of winning an award. He sincerely wished her, "Good luck!"
The two-seater sofa is orange and can be converted into a sofa bed. On the left side of the sofa, there are three fruit-colored three-legged stools stacked. On the right side stands a small, dual-purpose cabinet in a natural wood color, which can serve as both a coffee table and storage. Xu Si couldn't help but ask: "Is there a quilt in this cabinet?"
Jianghu organized the marketing plan he had previously developed, adjusting several strategies to address the current downturn. After making an appointment with Xu Si, he revised the plan several more times
After finishing lunch, the chef came out to ask for the colleagues' opinions, dressed in pristine white chef attire, resembling someone who had just stepped out of a high-end Western restaurant
Xu Si felt somewhat disdainful of such lamentation, and he did not respond
The frankness of the jianghu surprised Yue Shan; she had thought it was merely the man's earnest pursuit, not realizing that the woman also had ulterior motives.
The person from the rivers and lakes spoke in a quick and amiable manner, saying: "Come in, this is Mr. Xu, Xu Feng's Mr. Xu."
She locked herself in the office, almost hugging a pillow and on the verge of crying her heart out
Has the new insole been replaced?
Xu Si drizzled some soy sauce on the sushi and said, "One must not miss out on good projects."
Xu Sidu's heart followed the divine and departed outward
After Xu Si finished the phone call, he returned to Jianghu's side and said, "Shall we go for a walk?"
He did not return the call immediately, as he attended a business dinner hosted by his mother after work. It was only after the guests had left that he dialed Jianghu's number.
This girl can be so meticulous with the details.
Her slightly mocking smile also carries a certain sweetness
Such a clever face would certainly not possess a foolish mind Perhaps he has already discerned her true intentions, and thus has begun to feel anger
The man from the rivers and lakes dismantled a round stool and invited him to sit down, saying amicably: "Don't take it to heart, the boss has already seen what just happened. I was just about to explain."
Or rather, there is a certain insincere pretense of virtue.
Xu Si called the underworld to her office, "Have you not dealt with Liu Jun yet?"
This thing is meant to be paired with eggs and crispy pancakes, is there anyone who eats it like this
Xu Si finally understood why Tengyue had relied solely on Jiang Qisheng's charity to make a living for so many years
In the bustling world, one claps their hands and laughs, "I bought it at the store in Xintiandi, and I always feel that the bread there rises better than at other branches"
The streetlights cast their shadows long, as if the road were also very long. Xu Si walked slowly.
She is quite good at talking to herself, and Xu Si remembers that he has not given any instructions regarding this report. She is taking advantage of his good demeanor
Xu Si was taken aback, and then he was momentarily stunned
She now approaches her tasks methodically and at a measured pace, no longer exhibiting the impulsive recklessness she had while in Japan, nor the spoiled capriciousness she displayed when drunkenly vomiting in Jingyangchun not long ago. How many facets does she truly possess
Since that night, we have never been this close again. This situation is lingering, and the state is ambiguous
The workers indeed listened to her; with a single command, they could take their respective positions.
The rivers and lakes stood beside Pei Zhiyuan, dressed in a white T-shirt and ripped jeans, with a pair of vibrant red rubber-soled shoes on his feet. At first glance, Xu Si almost mistook her for a factory worker.
The female worker's face flushed bright red, unaccustomed to being attended to in such a manner by the CEO
After Jiang Hu officially took office, Liu Jun did not confront her directly as the new boss, but he also did not regard her with much respect. When Yue Shan asked Liu Jun to cooperate in creating a new sales report, he pushed back against it. As a result, Jiang Hu no longer mentioned the original plan to transfer the production business, which Liu Jun was supposed to manage, to Zhang Sheng.
However, once the Jianghu changed the compensation system, the entire situation became different. Those workers who intended to follow Liu Jun would certainly not be willing to give up this tangible benefit for the uncertain prospects of starting anew at a new factory.
Xu Si furrowed his brows, pulled her close, leaned down, his presence so commanding
However, plans cannot keep up with changes
The designer arrived on time in the afternoon, and Jianghu greeted them to first get acquainted with Xu Si
Although the tone is exaggerated, it still possesses a certain power. Even though the Red Flag has disbanded, the market influence of the Free Horse remains formidable, and sportswear continues to sell well. One cannot blame the distributors for favoring their wealthy patrons over this once-mighty, now fallen, solitary girl.
Indeed, the underworld nods in agreement, "It is better to retain skilled workers than to recruit during a labor shortage." She sighed again, "The downfall to this extent is the responsibility of both Liu Jun and my uncle."
The world of Jianghu has indeed contemplated this negative outcome, but she is also aware that in the market, one must tread carefully, and one must bear the consequences of gains and losses. She is very grateful for Yue Shan's sincerity, embracing Yue Shan's shoulders, "At least Tengyue can ultimately benefit, right"
They have reached the ground, with a gentle breeze blowing, and Xu Si noticed the corners of his mouth lifting. He really could not be too ostentatious in front of her, as that would always provoke her competitive spirit
The designer offered suggestions, and Zhang Sheng listened attentively. He has a limp in one leg, yet he displays an unexpected focus on shoes
Xu Si went to Tengyue as scheduled
At the conclusion of the meeting, Jiang Hudafang extended an invitation to Xu Si to have lunch at the cafeteria
The purpose of Jianghu's directive to Yue Shan to write this report is very clear: it is to counter Liu Jun's tactics of inciting workers to resign. Now that Liu Jun's actions have been exposed, the greatest retaliation he can immediately undertake is to lead a group of like-minded workers to another employer, leaving Tengyue's workforce depleted and unable to fulfill external orders. Given his qualifications and the current labor shortage in the industry, he will have no trouble finding his next employer.
This is clearly a tone that is helping to explain the martial arts world. However, Xu Si asked himself, throughout this matter, has he ever uttered a word of pressure on this issue? He decided to refrain from expressing his opinion and observe what role she was playing.
Jianghu playfully said to Yue Shan, "Aunt Yue, I am truly fortunate to have you by my side"
She is seeking assistance, yet her demeanor remains neither servile nor arrogant. She is doing very well
Since becoming the controlling party of Tengyue, he has not yet made a formal appearance at the factory. Firstly, he has been busy with matters related to the North China market of Xufeng Beverage and the preparation of the Xiaohongma project; secondly, he is considerate and believes that the Jianghu would not want him to interfere excessively in Tengyue's internal affairs
She never imagined that she would learn the waltz in middle school, only to end up dancing with someone else. The path of life is filled with crossroads
Xu Si said: "If you offer him such a high salary, he will definitely work hard"
However, all the workers call him "Boss"
She also thought of Jiang Qisheng. The actions of this father and daughter are remarkably similar, both adept at taking the path of "good winds aiding my ascent, sending me to the azure skies"
Does this count as flattering him
It was not only Yue Shan who noticed Xu Si's particular concern for the leap anomaly; Pei Zhiyuan had been calculating in his mind for several days before he ventured to probe the situation in the community.
The Jianghu said: "Come to my office!"
Finally, it has come to Saturday
In fact, they were so close that they could feel each other's breath
Indeed, Jiang Qisheng is Jiang Qisheng, and the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes
The formal tone irritated Xu Si, and he thought that she had fully utilized his background along with his attractiveness, yet still refused to acknowledge it. He gave a slight cold smile and said: "Alright, let's discuss work-related matters within eight hours."
The rivers and lakes remain silent.
Liu Jun reluctantly responded with a "hm," and Jianghu seized the opportunity to clap his hands and said: "Everyone, let's get to work. Once we finish this batch of goods, we will have a feast to celebrate at the end of the month"
Zhang Sheng, due to his own disability, has always felt very inferior. However, he is honest and straightforward, and he has good relationships with others. He shares a mentor-student bond with Liu Jun, and many workers are quite close to him. Jiang Hu has intentionally had tea with him several times, humbly seeking his advice, which has allowed Zhang Sheng to see her sincerity, capabilities, and ambitions for advancement. Zhang Sheng is indeed someone who genuinely cares about the future of the factory. After recognizing Jiang Hu, he is always able to offer a few suggestions, both openly and subtly.
The fish is very fresh, the vinegared rice is slightly warm, and it melts in the mouth. The people around are discussing the Milan autumn collection with others.
She smiled contentedly at the mirror, her smile was quite beautiful, resembling that of her father
At that moment, someone knocked on the door, and Jianghu responded, "Come in"
However, the underworld forcefully hung up the phone. Unless absolutely necessary, she was unwilling to speak to someone like Xu Si in such a tone.
Jianghu and her management team are preparing to hold a meeting in the conference room
One can infer from the words and actions of the uncle what he may be thinking, whether trivial or significant, deliberately choosing not to expose it. This makes the uncle feel that there are great benefits, thus motivating him to work even harder, which can be considered an unexpected gain
In the realm of rivers and lakes, one ponders quietly, gazing at that towering cedar. She was originally a person of decisive action, yet—according to the tales of the rivers and lakes: "If it were my father, I would have immediately dismissed him."
Jianghu personally verified the details of the supply contract and the design documents, reaching a peak of anger
After finishing her speech, she turned her head and smiled at Xu Si.
The rivers and lakes displayed a helpless expression, "But a group of workers will follow him."
Xu Si said: "Jianghu, you are truly hypocritical; aren't you afraid of getting tired from all that mental activity?"
Jianghu took a bag of bread and an aluminum tube down from the bookshelf, the kind that looks like it holds toothpaste. She said, "I haven't had lunch yet, do you mind if I fill my stomach a bit first?"
I invite you to dinner
With this explanation of the "jianghu," Xu Si understood. He surveyed the "jianghu" once more, pondering what this "unknown reason" truly entailed. The "jianghu" did not provide any annotations, yet how did Pei Zhiyuan suddenly gain ambition? It seems there is more to this matter.
Her lips were very soft, and they lingered on his cheek for a brief moment
Xu Si set down the water and picked up the caviar that he had casually placed aside earlier
He held the caviar in his hand and asked, "Why haven't I seen your car?"
The office in the Jianghu measures only 20 square meters, with a wooden floor that shines brightly. A dark brown doormat is placed at the entrance. Xu Si wiped his feet on the mat.
The editor's face flushed slightly. Someone has already claimed that it is a good idea
In the rivers and lakes, Xu Si was seen standing at the factory entrance, arms crossed, watching the show
Jianghu twisted open the aluminum tube, squeezed the contents onto the bread, and took a large bite
Her office is located in the bungalow at the back of the factory.
Fortunately, we have arrived at the entrance of the restaurant
He has a good memory; he still remembers the media promotion plan outlined in her initial proposal, and he also recalls that the execution timeline in her original plan was not set for such an early date
He pushed her away forcefully and turned to leave with a hint of anger. Of course, he did not see Jianghu, who was left behind, letting out a heavy sigh.
How could she possibly take the initiative to invite him to dinner? He laughed
Jianghu observed and encouraged, "Is there anything else you would like to say? There are certain situations that the boss should be made aware of"
What does it mean to attack one's own shield with one's own spear? Is there a situation more embarrassing, more helpless, and more sorrowful than this?
In the blink of an eye, I recalled two jokes. A factory director from a rural town bought a Lamborghini convertible and drove it with his wife to go for a ride. Unfortunately, it started to rain halfway through. As a result, when their workers saw the Lamborghini returning, the convertible top was still down, and the director's wife was inside holding a parasol.
Qi Sitian called him, "My new play has been confirmed to be nominated."
But in the context of the martial world, it is akin to a knife piercing the heart
Xu Si realized that he had lost focus
In the cafeteria, Jianghu greeted the workers with a cheerful smile; some called her "Boss," while others referred to her as "Miss," and she was indifferent to both.
The cafeteria was also renovated after her arrival, with the walls repainted and red tables and white chairs replaced, resembling the white base and red lines of a pair of jumping shoes. Thoughtfulness is evident everywhere.
Who could have known that she would come up with such bold yet insidious tactics
The conference room is a space carved out from the workshop, separated by transparent glass partitions, equipped with a suspended projection screen and a whiteboard, and adorned with photographs of people wearing spring-loaded shoes from various eras on the walls
The speaker continued to explain Zhang Sheng's words: "It is like this, in the morning I sought to understand the situation of individual group leaders from Zhang Sheng. Zhang Sheng mentioned the gambling situation at noon, and as a result, my uncle happened to pass by and overheard it. Today at noon, he caught someone in the act."
Qi Sitian promised to treat him to a meal, and they chose Cee Club as the venue
The two individuals suddenly came to a halt
It was not until the second week after Xu Si returned to Shanghai that he found the time to personally visit Tengyue.
"At your service."
The lowest of people, lacking ability, with a bad temper
Having a strategic mind is by no means a negative trait; sometimes, it is the details that determine success or failure
Indeed
The rivers and lakes suddenly awakened, a moment of panic ensued, and with a misstep, he inadvertently stepped on Xu Si's foot.
Indeed, everyone will be satisfied
The rivers and lakes fell silent
Xu Si, having taken it upon himself to understand the ins and outs of the incident at Bing's place, shook his head and remarked, "It's rather ruthless, leaving no room for others to prepare for a future encounter in the martial world."
The persistent ailment of stagnation is present here. Liu Jun and his uncle are both individuals who seek petty gains, focusing on trivial profits without striving for progress, which is truly lamentable and disheartening
It is this kind of vigilance, this kind of sanctimoniousness, that makes her seem like a different person compared to that night in Japan. Xu Si almost let out a cold laugh again
Xu Si said, "You are bullying honest people; this time Zhang Sheng has no choice but to become a propaganda committee member among the workers for you." He thought to himself, it is not just bullying; as soon as she took office, she escalated the long-standing conflicts in the factory to a boiling point to facilitate her own actions. Now she even has the mind to take advantage of the existing opportunity and use him as a prop.
Pei Zhiyuan was taken aback at first glance, and then he looked again at his delicate and fragile little niece
Her choice of this place is well-founded
The heart of the rivers and lakes also enjoys adventure. Xu Si had already walked towards the hotel, and without security stopping him, how could she not follow? She could not afford to fall behind.
Yue Shan's face flushed again with a hint of red
Pei Zhiyuan believed that she was shy, and became increasingly certain that Xu Si was investing so much money in Tengyue out of consideration for the connections in the community.
He held her waist tightly, and her waist quivered slightly
Just two weeks later, Xu Si received an invitation letter from the Jianghu for a new product sample meeting, extending a warm invitation to the leadership to attend and provide guidance at the senior-level meeting.
Xu Si asked: "Has the original plan been moved up?"
He admired her unwillingness to fall behind, yet he doubted whether she was being overly ambitious
The Jianghu replied in a friendly manner: "It's not exactly a new model; we just made some improvements to the appearance of our factory's old Liberation shoes and changed the material of the upper. Yesterday, Zhang Sheng applied the rubber soles, and we are just waiting for the designer to deliver the newly made insoles today to complete the set." After speaking, he calmly looked at Zhang Sheng.
She chose a set from BOSS, consisting of a white narrow-collared three-quarter sleeve shirt on the upper body, cinched at the waist with a wide snake-skin belt, and a black A-line skirt on the lower body. On her feet, she naturally wore the most ordinary black high heels
After a while, the phone rang again, and a text message came in. He saw the name flashing on the screen and helplessly thought, wondering what had happened this time. Sure enough, the message from Jianghu was: "Are you free this weekend? I need your help with something."
Xu Si deftly hung up the phone
She was slightly frowning, staring at her uncle. Behind her stood a middle-aged man with a frightened expression, who was also a cripple.
She said, "I will return the corresponding benefits for the tolerance you have given me"
The car drove into the underground parking garage of the real estate building opposite the restaurant. After parking, as she stepped out of the car, a white Lamborghini with a black convertible top slowly passed by her. The sleek lines of the vehicle were undoubtedly stunning, and she couldn't help but admire it several times.
I understand. The community says, "I believe his concern will also be somewhat helpful for the progress of our work."
Xu Si raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"
The rivers and lakes are filled with laughter and joy
Everyone is present
Xu Si wanted to see her clearly. However, whenever the world around him pressed in on his gaze, he hurriedly averted his eyes, focusing only on the steps beneath his feet
Liu Jun listened to Pei Zhiyuan's words, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile: "My old factory director, what's the big deal? Aren't you also trading stocks? You are taking a big gamble, while we are just relaxing a little, there's no need to make such a fuss. Besides, isn't this just putting General Manager Jiang in a difficult position? She doesn't understand the situation here and might misunderstand everyone."
The designer nodded
At the conclusion of the banquet, several media outlets have decided to produce a special feature on Tengyue, introducing the history of the established brand, and of course, highlighting the strong support it has received from emerging groups
She effortlessly took the initiative to do what he wanted to do
The bookshelf is also in a natural wood color, standing at a height of nine tiers. The top five tiers are filled with books and CDs, while the bottom three tiers contain various household items and food, such as toothbrushes, teacups, bottled water, bread, biscuits, and chocolate all mixed together. The very bottom tier is a cabinet with a door, perhaps storing the laundry of travelers.
Xu Si chose to sit in a comfortable chair, leaving Jiang Hu no choice but to move to the two-person sofa opposite the writing desk
Xu Si thought that with a small success in the martial world, he had forgotten that she no longer had Jiang Qisheng supporting her from behind. Since it had already been done, let her leave it to fate. He walked to the window and lit a cigarette.
Jianghu smiled and followed Xu Si to the shaded path
When Pei Zhiyuan signed this report, his hand involuntarily trembled slightly
The onlooking workers erupted in a clamor
A few remarks seemed to be light-hearted banter, yet they left Pei Zhiyuan with no dignity whatsoever, which explains why his face turned a shade of pale green in anger
They come from all over the country, but they have all tasted Xu Feng's beverages. Knowing that they have Xu Feng's support, they are all very confident
Jianghu took out a few pages of documents and handed them to Pei Zhiyuan. She said, "Uncle, don't be anxious. Manager Yue and I have come up with a temporary solution."
She is so openly sowing discord.
Thus, the rumors in the jianghu say: "Two years ago, when the financial crisis first emerged, many people in Dubai went bankrupt. Some could not afford the taxes and fees related to their private cars, so they abandoned their Lamborghinis on the street and reported them as lost. Resourceful Chinese individuals picked up the cars, sawed them in half, transported the scrap metal back to the country, and then reassembled them without leaving a trace, continuing to sell them to the wealthy in China"
In the room, she was the most spirited and natural, while the others, such as Yue Shan, Pei Zhiyuan, and Liu Jun, were quietly observing him. He took the chair of honor without hesitation, calmly listening to the meeting of the underworld.
In the bustling world, one can only feel the heart racing to the throat, closely watching him, fearing that the young master might lose his temper and act out in an outrageous manner on the spot
Xu Si also smiled, "You really know how to flatter people." He extended his hand, inviting her, "Let us go dance."
Xu Si returned the questionnaire to her after reading it, and all the indices on it had been written in great detail. She still needed to try it on herself to see the effect
The media professionals in the private room have all arrived, consisting of well-known female editors and beautiful reporters from the city's prestigious fashion media. This group of media powerhouses has a distinct sense of style and fashion, and most of them possess attractive appearances and figures. They come not only to dine but also to showcase their elegance.
She was lost in thought
The meal is reserved at a Japanese restaurant next to the Du Yuesheng Mansion
Xu Si cast a glance at the "Fat Maitreya" who was casually sitting down to drink tea and read the newspaper in the workshop, in front of all the laborers, with an air of authority.
After the meal, Xu Si clapped his hands, and everyone followed suit, applauding as a tribute to the meal. The humble chef, hearing this, hurried in to greet the guests.
Yue Shan has deep feelings for Jiang Qisheng, while Xu Si is unlikely to willingly be toyed with by the world. Therefore, she is quite worried, saying: "Ren Bing once mentioned to me that Xu Fenghua's new moves in the North Market are all Xu Si's arrangements"
She was afraid that he would not agree, so she cautiously and softly added, "Please honor me with your presence"
In the world of rivers and lakes, there is no need for words, just a smile will suffice
It was already 11 o'clock, and Jianghu was awake, quickly picking up the phone. She called him, "Boss"
Xu Si leaned in with great interest to take a look
Although she felt extremely sad, the glory of the Jiang family and her self-respect must not be compromised, and the market rules should also be adhered to. She could not allow others to help her for nothing; she needed to teach Xu Si that asking for help is a win-win situation, ultimately realized through commercial profit.
He has revealed the truth, so there is no need to continue pretending.
Qi Sitian soon realized that she had overstepped. He had never acknowledged that he was her boyfriend, and such lamentation was only suitable for genuine couples. She said, "Don't be too busy, take care of yourself"
Whether it is providing timely assistance in times of need or adding embellishments to success, everyone is well aware of the situation. In any case, we will wholeheartedly support Tengyue.
She opened her eyes, nodded, and smiled, "Thank you for taking care of me, and thank you for your tolerance"
Xu Si also smiled. The rivers and lakes maintain the quality of her life, which is very good. She has been living seriously and happily
Jianghu took out several documents from the folder and handed them to Xu Si, "This is the latest work report"
As Zhang Sheng bowed and left, Xu Sicai asked Jianghu: "So it turns out I was just a backdrop, huh"
Xu Si's phone rang, and he stepped aside to answer the call. The rivers and lakes had not departed; she stood in an open space not far from him, tilting her head and gazing at the eastern sky
Xu Si asked: "What is special about insoles?"
In a casual tone, let everyone know about the collaboration details with Xu Si here
The fifth dish served was fresh sweet shrimp, vibrant in color, which received much acclaim from everyone
It was just that Xu Si could not stand her spreading the toothpaste-like substance on the bread and swallowing it so enjoyably. He reached out and snatched the aluminum tube from her hand, only to find that it was dill-flavored caviar.
They chatted while eating
Jianghu Report, "I have asked the finance department to intervene in the handling of the final orders first, as acting too hastily may affect normal operations"
The server, dressed in a Japanese chef's uniform, presented the first piece of tuna sushi. Xu calmly took a seat in the empty spot beside Jiang.
A person who leaps is not without merit
He was dressed in a black suit, exuding a calm yet dignified presence. Jianghu suddenly recalled Zhou Libo's stand-up comedy, and thus laughed aloud, asking: "Why didn't you open the convertible?"
Jianghu comforted Zhang Sheng, saying, "It won't happen; they won't blame you. Once we finalize our new performance evaluation formula, everyone will be rewarded based on their contributions, improving efficiency in fulfilling orders from the United States, which will lead to bonuses. Everyone will be willing to participate. I hope everyone understands that the new systems implemented by our finance and human resources departments are for everyone's benefit. In short, things will get better and better. The boss can attest to this." I hope everyone understands that the new systems implemented by our finance and human resources departments are for everyone's benefit. In short, things will get better and better. The boss can attest to this.
After all, there is a certain modesty and a touch of fastidiousness characteristic of women
In life, there are three bowls of noodles that are the hardest to swallow
The rivers and lakes leisurely follow behind.
Liu Jun had also suffered a military defeat. Ever since his confidant was dismissed by the underworld, he had been contemplating leaving with a group. Before departing, he was unwilling to leave empty-handed and wanted to make a big score, waiting for the right opportunity. Just then, a batch of goods was finished processing and ready to be shipped out. Liu Jun called two of his confidants to take advantage of the dark night and once again moved the tail order. However, just as they were about to transport the goods out of the factory, workers chased after them, shouting and taking photos.
She did not mind and then changed into a pair of shoes herself
Xu Si said: "Du Yuesheng has a few famous sayings." He turned to look at the rivers and lakes, "Do not be afraid of being used by others; if someone uses you, it means you are still of value."
Xu Si asked her to make herself comfortable
Xu Si quietly leaned his chin down to the side of Jiang Hu's head, gazing at her fair and delicate neck. On the lawn, their shadows gradually merged into one. He slowly tightened his arms.
The rivers and lakes smile, "You have arrived just in time"
The rivers and lakes have finally spoken, in a very soft and gentle voice, "Uncle Liu, it is not good for workers in the factory to play Dou Di Zhu. Director Pei's concerns are valid. However, everyone needs to relax a bit; he spoke those words out of momentary frustration. Please do not take it to heart, I will have a word with him."
The world of martial arts is filled with cold laughter, "It seems that Uncle has always been unaware of Liu Jun's deceitful tactics. How could he be so careless!"
Compared to the Hongqi factory, the Tengyue factory is much more rudimentary. It consists of only a shoe-making workshop and a more than 100 square meter bungalow behind the workshop. The bungalow is divided into four rooms, which are used as offices for the factory management department
Xu Si looked at the rivers and lakes, smiling as he sent off those media personnel one by one
He scrutinized her once again, and each time he did so, he made new discoveries, each time seeing her in a new light
Jianghu pressed her lips together, "If you do that, perhaps I will slap you on the spot, and we will both be exposed in this inappropriate situation, losing our dignity. I just mentioned that Mr. Du said that 'dignity' is not something that can be consumed."
Zhang Sheng, upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment
In Xu Si's eyes, this thick-skinned girl actually had the audacity to nod her head shamelessly
In recent years, Liu Jun, who has been in charge of production and sales, has accumulated considerable influence at Tengyue, showing a strong momentum to rival Factory Director Pei Zhiyuan. Pei Zhiyuan has always been short-sighted and has consistently turned a blind eye to the actions of Liu Jun and his group
The schemes of the jianghu cannot compare to those of Pei Zhiyuan; perhaps it is a stroke of fortune that Tengyue has fallen into her hands, as she may have encountered a wise ruler
The demeanor of the rivers and lakes resembles that of her little daughter, so pitiable and adorable
He boasts and declares that anyone who takes on a contract from Tengyue should not expect to receive a contract from Ziyuma
Liu Jun was clearly surprised and asked in a firm tone, "When did we start making new products?"
In order to cope with the current predicament, she had no choice but to bring Xu Si out to exert influence. He has always been a focus of media attention, enjoys good relations with journalists, and has recently gained considerable power. Therefore, she needed the media to bolster her presence, informing the world that Tengyue is a new venture invested in by Xu Si, allowing those who are aligned with the powerful to adjust their course as the winds change.
Jianghu's body trembled slightly, and he raised his head slightly to see Xu Si leaning down.
The rivers and lakes informed him: "The chef at Cee Club is truly kind. I would like to ask him to help find a chef who can prepare staff meals. The one he recommended is quite good at both local cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine, and he even went out of his way to learn Sichuan cuisine."
Xu ordered a serving of braised pork rice and also added a portion of boiled fish, both of which were exceptionally delicious
Her expression while eating is very cute, with her cheeks puffed out and a candid demeanor, showing no signs of pretense in front of him
The world of rivers and lakes nods in acknowledgment. It seems she is prepared for a protracted struggle.
Xu Si scanned one by one, comparing Pei Zhiyuan's earlier words with the introductions from the Jianghu, and thus realized that "Maitreya Buddha" should refer to Liu Jun, while the cripple was Liu Jun's disciple, Zhang Sheng
He thought that she probably wouldn't feel comfortable unless she teased him a bit, but he also wanted to fulfill her little joy, so he asked, "What about the second joke?"
She recalled Jiang Qisheng, and her heart sank with sorrow
The free horse, bearing the banner of Jiang, still possesses the power to roam the world, while the rivers and lakes that have lost their father are but a blade of grass, regarded as worthless as a leap.
Jianghu took a bottle of Watsons mineral water from the bookshelf beside the writing desk and handed it to Xu Si, saying: "I do not drink coffee or tea, so I can only offer this instead"
This girl must have the same domineering nature as her father. He did not wish to transform his relationship with the martial world from the previous tense standoff into another form of standoff. Therefore, on this day, he went to Tengyue without notifying anyone in advance, but unexpectedly, before he could meet the martial world, he happened to witness a small confrontation with his own eyes
The second course is mackerel sushi, which is very chewy
This world also knows that he is not just a showpiece; it is said that he has spent a considerable amount of time in the production, marketing, research and development, and sales departments of Xu Feng.
Before going out, Jianghu put on a pair of black-framed non-prescription glasses, looked in the mirror, and appeared unassuming, not ostentatious, not showing off, resembling the school principal.
After Pei Zhiyuan finished speaking, he walked away with his hands behind his back, fuming towards another exit of the workshop, leaving the others to watch the scene unfold.
This is a set of performance bonus distribution regulations prepared by the Finance Department. In order to reward the Production and Sales Departments, an exception has been made this year to grant an additional performance bonus to colleagues who have been with these two departments for more than one year. However, to distinguish it from the year-end double salary, the performance bonus is scheduled to be distributed at the end of the first quarter of the following year
Xu Si understood why she had invited only women, and this was probably one of the reasons he was invited to attend today. As soon as the beautiful women saw him, they all warmly came over to greet him, momentarily neglecting Jianghu.
He has a dinner meeting with Qi Sitian tonight. Xu Fengxin's beverage is experiencing a strong sales momentum in the north, and Qi Sitian's advertising efforts have played an indispensable role. Other advertisers have also taken notice of her and have offered contracts worth millions.
Liu Jun also looked at the rivers and lakes, "Miss Jiang, I have worked in the factory for twenty years, and now Director Pei is the head of the labor and personnel department. Surely I cannot be laid off just like that?" After he finished speaking, he immediately received the support of the workers standing on his side.
Xu Si walked in and greeted everyone. He saw Jiang Hu, who was full of energy at the front of the crowd. She smiled at him and said, "Good morning, boss"
Yue Shan said: "The designer and pattern maker of this brand provided a leather usage dimension of 2 feet, which is also what was signed in the contract. However, Liu Jun purchased the leather according to 2.2 feet and reported 2.1 feet to Factory Director Pei. The reported final order quantity to the factory does not match the actual final order quantity produced."
This establishment has garnered a notable reputation in the media circle, not only for its delicious yet expensive offerings but also for its strict regulations—serving only during dinner hours, requiring reservations, and allowing only the set menu designated by the owner
The rivers and lakes do not intend to conceal the primary issue she is currently facing, she said: "There are some old habits in this factory that cannot be changed in a short time. The workers under Liu Jun have become accustomed to being lax and often play cards during work hours."
Liu Jun certainly did not forget to incite a good deal in front of several distributors, and since the sales of Tengyue shoes have indeed never been significant, these individuals, without regard for Liu Jun's reputation, unceremoniously pressed for payments and returns under various pretexts
Yue Shan said: "Currently, online sales are booming, and the profits from brand surplus stock are considerable. One can imagine how much Liu Jun has profited. Those who work under such parasites will inevitably follow suit; how much better can they be?"
Ren Bing was quite in agreement, "Liu Jun made some harsh remarks."
It should be so, Xu Si agrees
Heaven knows how she suddenly felt wronged
She raised her small face, displaying a slightly dazed yet evidently shrewd expression. Her hair had become unkempt, falling loosely, but her attire still maintained a sense of rigor and propriety
This was her second time lowering her head in helplessness, contemplating seeking Xu Si's assistance.
Zhang Sheng was extremely restless, having been glared at publicly by Liu Jun
The rivers and lakes will continue to speak: "We will handle it well"
The conference announced two matters: the first is that all outstanding orders must be audited by the finance department before goods can be sold; the second is the announcement of the new performance evaluation standards, which received the endorsement of Xu Si.
He has to serve hundreds of workers! she said
The editor-in-chief is selecting topics, titled "New Fashion of Trendsetters"
They easily blended into the crowd, Xu Si extended his hand, Jiang Hu placed her hand in his palm, while his other hand gently rested on the belt at her waist
The limping Zhang Sheng pushed open the door and saw that the rivers and lakes were receiving guests, hesitatingly saying: "I---"
The lunch menu is written on the blackboard at the entrance of the cafeteria. Today, three dishes are offered: braised pork rice, green pepper chicken rice, and boiled fish with rice. Both sweet and spicy flavors are included, catering to the tastes of workers from various regions
The Jianghu intends to report to him, "I have advanced the brand warming of Tengyue by a period of time, and next I will plan a hand-drawn competition"
The person standing opposite Pei Zhiyuan was precisely the one he had accused. That individual had a shiny, plump face, with naturally squinting eyes, resembling the Maitreya Buddha, making it difficult to discern whether he was smiling or not.
Seeing that he had finished the water in his hand, Jianghu handed him another bottle and said: "My uncle will definitely not be able to swallow this grievance, so he may go to a few old factories to recruit people, and some of them may be ones you have invested in. I hope you can be understanding."
They arrived at the entrance of the Donghu Hotel, where a wedding banquet was indeed taking place inside. A white tent had been set up on the lawn, colorful lights were strung up, and a jazz band was playing "Night Shanghai" while the bride and groom danced with the guests. On the other side of the lawn stood the old building, weathered by time, yet still majestic.
Jianghu replied: "It is somewhat unreasonable, but he feels that our work is progressing rather poorly"
This is how things are.
The residual light from the spotlight shone over him from behind, illuminating his features as if they were sprinkled with brilliance, making the contours of his cheeks clearer and more distinct, exuding a handsome and arrogant charm
Jianghu asks: "Did Liu Jun make things difficult when counting the quantity of goods today"
He is indeed a master of the dance floor. In the world of martial arts, she herself has practiced such dance steps, yet she cannot take the lead in his movements, only cautiously following his preferences, passively turning out one circle after another.
Warmth is fleeting
How can a person put on so many faces
In the new design, the sides of the shoes feature six additional ventilation holes, and the pattern on the shoe upper has been redesigned according to the position of these ventilation holes, resulting in a very unique style
A few days later, determined to rely on each other with Jiang Hu, Yue Shan hurriedly came to find Jiang Hu early in the morning with the design drafts and supply contracts in hand
How did this small community come up with this trick
The rivers and lakes closed their eyes tightly, so be it. Rather than allowing him to seize the initiative, it is better to take the lead and sacrifice oneself, thus gaining an advantage. She stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Xu Si on the cheek
I sincerely apologize for stepping on you
Xu Si smiled, "This event can also serve as a charity, donating to impoverished students, which will motivate the student council members and school leaders to be more enthusiastic." He personally filled the chief editor's cup with clear wine.
This was indeed his purpose for coming here today, so he would certainly not be negligent. She has managed the reorganized management and financial work quite well, and there are also very professional individuals assisting her, which gives him great peace of mind. He finished reviewing the documents and returned them to her
Who does not cherish the rivers and lakes? Who does not wish to befriend Xu Si?
There is also a group of media friends whom you all know
So, you are the one who helped me preserve my dignity
The third piece is yellowfin tuna sushi, and the fourth piece is squid sushi. One of the editors present does not like yellowfin tuna, so Jianghu exchanged his squid sushi with her
First, dismiss Liu Jun's distant relative from the finance department; it is necessary to set an example by punishing one to warn others
The jazz band over there has transformed the piece into a waltz, with a complete melody that makes one’s feet involuntarily start to dance
Jianghu was overwhelmed, running around with his uncle to treat guests and appease requests. A dealer let slip some information, which was like a bolt from the blue for Jianghu. It turned out that Liu Jun, after leaving Tengyue, had actually joined Zhang Wenshan. Jianghu then realized that the Zhang Huashao he had always looked down upon actually had some connections, having secured the business of the Free Horse Sports series with a few wealthy partners. Now, having recruited Liu Jun, it was a perfect opportunity to settle the score for Jianghu's previous grievances against him.

A reporter suggested, "Speaking of which, the film recently submitted to the Tokyo Film Festival used jumping shoes as props. Why not collaborate with them for promotion?"
The resignation letter will soon be signed and handed over to Pei Zhiyuan
Lamborghini found a spot next to her red Porsche and parked steadily. As the door opened, Xu Si stepped out.
Xu Si asked: "Your uncle probably doesn't know, right?"
Xu Si placed the caviar beside him and took the documents, reviewing them one by one
Zhang Sheng nodded repeatedly
Xu Si smiled amiably and said, "I didn't bring a paradise umbrella, but it's alright; the first thing I learned when testing the car was how to open and close this convertible."
He was sent away from the rivers and lakes, and the security guard was asked to help him with the car.
Xu Si smiled helplessly and self-deprecatingly, "I have been quite tolerant of you"
The saying in the jianghu goes: "If I dismiss him now, he will immediately take away a group of skilled workers"
The night sky is devoid of stars and the moon, but for a moment, the fireworks stir the solitude of the night, spreading vibrant colors and finally bringing life to the long-silent darkness
Zhang Shenghe, the designer, wrote the testing situation on a questionnaire and submitted it to her. She carefully reviewed it once, underlined the key points with a pen, and said: "It is much better than last time"
Qi Sitian's voice suddenly turned mournful, "We haven't had dinner for over a month."
Pei Zhiyuan became anxious and urged Jianghu, "Aren't you going to ask Xu Si? Otherwise, who will help us sell the new shoes when the time comes!"
Over there is the former residence of Du Yuesheng, which has now been converted into a hotel. Perhaps a wedding banquet is being held, with colorful and splendid fireworks bursting into the sky.
The Jianghu says: "We have prepared a company profile and conducted training sessions for everyone in batches"
Yue Shan advised: "In the world, if you do not favor Xu Si, you must be careful in your approach. If such a man is completely obedient to you, that is one thing. However, if he turns against you, his methods of dealing with you will be far beyond the level of Liu Jun.
The rivers and lakes are filled with the fallen and the tarnished pearls, evoking a sense of pity in those who behold them. Supporting her is the second-generation leader of the Xu Feng Group, which is currently in the spotlight, possessing countless resources, and perhaps even more unexpected benefits in the future
Xu Si almost spat out the water he had not swallowed in time
She used to act spoiled and beg her father to buy her a Lamborghini. Her father chuckled and told two jokes, then seriously said: "A sports car is worth the annual sales of a small to medium-sized factory. Driving such a flashy car is unnecessary, especially with the road conditions in the country. Even I only drive a Buick Regal"
Yue Shan took a deep look at the rivers and lakes, "Mr. Xu is rumored to be involved with a female celebrity"
Pei Zhiyuan also had a hint of a protective instinct typical of an elder. He patted his chest and said, "Alright, I understand your intentions. In that case, I will go to Zhejiang tomorrow to explore some opportunities."
The rivers and lakes only serve a specially made salad, which includes slices of salmon. This is, until now, the only special treatment she has arranged that distinguishes her from the workers
A tremor ran through her heart as she noticed a hint of arrogance in his gaze. She averted her eyes from him and looked towards the people dancing on the lawn. After some contemplation, she spoke: "Mr. Du is the best manager in old Shanghai, and what he says is very reasonable. He also has a saying, 'There are three bowls of noodles that are the hardest to swallow—face, occasion, and sentiment.' What a helpless statement. But it also depends on how one approaches it. My father once told me another of his sayings—'First-class people have ability and no temper; second-class people have ability and a temper; third-class people have no ability and a big temper.'" He also has a saying, 'There are three bowls of noodles that are the hardest to swallow—face, occasion, and sentiment.' What a helpless statement. But it also depends on how one approaches it. My father once told me another of his sayings—'First-class people have ability and no temper; second-class people have ability and a temper; third-class people have no ability and a big temper.'
Pei Zhiyuan only wished for Liu Jun to leave sooner rather than later. Recently, every few days, workers would come to report Liu Jun's actions behind his back, secretly plotting against his incompetence, which finally ignited the smoldering fire in his heart. It was time for an outburst; he said: "Let him get lost. Damn it, he has made so much behind my back. What is there to fear? I will shamelessly go to Zhejiang and am not afraid of not being able to bring a few people back here."
Xu Si's response came faster than he had anticipated, "At the very least, it should be a private dish!"
A first-rate person, capable and composed
Xu Si asked: "Does it also include an introduction about me"
The Jianghu has instructed the designer to change the shoes. Please have Zhang Sheng come over to test the smell and humidity of the shoes and insoles together with the designer
Jianghu looked at Xu Si with amusement, but he pretended not to see. This was because the next sixth item was his favorite sea urchin, sweet yet not overly rich, which could be described as refreshing sweetness
Xu Si did not know what kind of expression she used to utter these two words, this frivolous utterance of "At your command" lingered by his ear for a long time without fading away
The eloquent words of Jianghu left Xu Si utterly astonished, while Zhang Sheng was completely convinced. Zhang Sheng straightened his back and said, "I understand now. Perhaps everyone has yet to grasp the heartfelt intentions of Miss Jiang and Director Pei"
Where can one find a group president who conducts business in such a manner? Always wandering around small, shabby factories
The time is almost up, and although the chair in the tavern is quite soft, he still compelled himself to stand up
This truly evokes pity, Xu Si almost reached out to caress her cheek
Zhang Shengcai said with difficulty: "If Master Liu quits, more than half of the workers will follow him. It is already hard to find workers, and the next batch of shoes for the United States will be difficult to manage. Director Pei now—" He honestly patted his head, "It’s all my fault for speaking too much"
The designer replied: "I purchased a patent for an odor and sweat-resistant reagent from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, but I need to test several formulations to determine the optimal effect." He pointed to his feet, "I wore it all the way back, which conveniently saved me the time of testing its effectiveness."
Xu Si also keeps an eye on the rivers and lakes
Xu looked at the rivers and lakes with a sense of bewilderment, for in her tone, besides the warmth, there was also a hint of helplessness and grievance
Xu Si looked at her charming smile and knew that she had some playful remarks to tease him with, so he followed her lead and said: "Since there are neither stars nor moon tonight, why open the convertible?"
The remaining orders of this batch were collected by the distributor with connections to Director Pei, but the whereabouts of the remaining orders that Liu Jun concealed are unclear
Pei Zhiyuan trembled with anger, pointing at Liu Jun and shouting, "You come to the Labor and Capital Department to settle the accounts clearly, you need not come tomorrow"
Xu Si returned the caviar to the rivers and lakes, and it is time to prepare for farewell
Xu Si nodded in agreement with the explanation of the rivers and lakes
Xu Si glanced at the bag where she kept the bread, "How pretentious, isn't the nearest Paul located in Jinqiao? Is the bread from the old brand really that delicious? It's hard enough to be used as a weapon."
The former head of the finance department was a relative of Liu Jun, making it all too easy to conceal this from the factory director
However, Master Liu has a high reputation in the factory, and some workers may not understand what we are doing now. Our strict management is intended to help them earn more money. If they could understand this point, how could they blame you? By speaking these words in front of the boss, I am essentially making a military order, and I will ensure that everyone progresses together with the factory and earns money together
Thus, the martial world yields its position, disguising itself as the director of education, serving as the backdrop in vibrant colors
The rivers and lakes saw the uncle gently shake his head, how can she be prompted to speak
Xu Si expressed his gratitude to him in Japanese, and the guests all expressed their satisfaction
Do you know what I was just about to do
This is entirely her fault for being reckless, as a single misstep in strategy has led to a lack of comprehensive consideration of the overall situation, neglecting the deep relationships that Liu Jun has built over the years with several key distributors of Tengyue. Particularly, this relationship is not based on the market performance of Tengyue shoes, but solely relies on Liu Jun's social skills. This makes it even more fragile and susceptible to complete destruction
Second-class individuals, capable and temperamental
Xu Si can understand the meaning of gratitude in the martial world. She is currently in a difficult situation but is unwilling to fully disclose it, thinking she can hide some of it in front of him. However, the subtle sorrow between her brows has betrayed her.
Jianghu pointed to his own clothes, "Is this the kind of clothing?" Then he pointed to the people inside, "We do not know them either."
She must have something to say to him, which is why she is waiting politely by the side.
It was evident that Zhang Sheng also saw this; his expression was filled with difficulty and hesitation. After much deliberation, he finally stammered to Xu Si, "Chairman, although the workers play Dou Di Zhu during their lunch break, they still work very hard."
She walked up to Xu Si, bowed respectfully, and said, "Welcome, boss, to inspect the work"
Thinking of this, a hint of gratitude emerged in the rivers and lakes, along with a touch of sincerity, saying: "Yes, the plan had to be moved up. I must trouble the boss."
I originally hoped that he could contribute more to the factory
Yue Shan, please organize all the documents properly
The rivers and lakes rise up, speaking with a calm demeanor: "It is better to say it is courtesy. Boss, perhaps my methods may not be the best, but fundamentally, achieving the best commercial benefits is always good. Is that not the case? I am working for you."
The security guard diligently performs his duties at the gate, professionally parking the vehicle in the designated area, with the white crosshatch lines fully drawn.
Liu Jun, the only one schemed against in the room, turned pale with anger. He squinted his smiling eyes at Xu Si, yet he did not dare to erupt and could not find a suitable reason to do so
Upon entering the private room, Xu Si casually glanced at Jiang Hu's attire for today.
After Xu Si left, Yue Shan arrived at the office of Jiang Hu
Upon arriving at the entrance of the workshop, Xu Si observed the situation quietly, standing still at the door.
Xu Si placed his index finger in front of his lips, making a gesture for silence, "It is rare to have someone bring the car back from Dubai for me. If you let this out, the customs will charge me with smuggling tomorrow"
Dignity, occasion, and personal relationships
Calmly resolving the bread in hand, Jianghu said: "This is convenient"
Zhang Shenghe discussed a new design with the designer, "I thought of a summer style yesterday that doesn't require insoles. Take a look and see if it's feasible."
Xu Si did not ask; he twisted off the bottle cap and took a sip of water. He then looked at the packaging and said: "I recommend switching to Xu Feng's purified water"
It is precisely this facade that, after that night, formed an invisible wall between them. It is also because of this facade that it could transform into a powerful magnetic field, drawing him irresistibly closer.
In the business arena, he believes that a partner like Jianghu can work hand in hand to seek mutual benefits. However, at this moment, he is not very inclined to be a businessman
The river and lake still instilled fear in him. His gaze pressed upon her, making her acutely aware of how piercing and provocative her earlier words had been
It is truly gratifying to see that the young are teachable, and Yue Shan felt a sense of comfort
He asked her, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
The Jianghu nodded timidly and said, "Uncle, it is not easy for us, as nephew and uncle, to work together. Outsiders are scheming against us, so we must unite and do our best. We cannot allow outsiders to take advantage of us."
Yue Shan said: "He has no position to oppose the Ministry of Finance in conducting this audit." She was clearly not there to discuss official matters and asked: "What does that Mr. Xu mean?"
Thus, media professionals who identify themselves with "trendy" and "petty bourgeois" flock eagerly
Xu Si wore an expression that suggested he looked down on everyone, saying: "There is nothing that cannot be done. With so many guests here, how would they notice the presence of two uninvited guests?"
