Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 300 President Jiang's Good Fortune Has Arrived!
Old Pi went to the Black Forest Studio and gave Lü Cong a good scolding, which made him feel much better.

Today he confronted Lü Cong and her partners directly. If they continued to pester him or try anything underhanded, he would really slap Lü Cong.

As you get older, you become more Zen-like. It's not that you've lost your temper, but that you're better at assessing situations.

But if someone stands on your head and pees, why would you stand it?

However, now that the comrades from the Emergency Management Bureau have raised the issues, the necessary rectifications must be carried out.

Putting everything else aside, we can't make things difficult for our comrades.

What if they come back someday and remind you of something? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Old Pi rode back on his Harley, but didn't open the door. He just sat in the courtyard and explained the situation to the customers who had made appointments, assuring them that he would definitely work overtime to make up for the lost time.

Don't keep them waiting too long.

Then make adjustments according to the issues listed in the rectification notice.

Just as I was about to make a call to inquire about consumer equipment, I received another call from the Emergency Management Bureau.

To be honest, Lao Pi was a little impatient, and said perfunctorily, "Don't worry, comrade, we'll rectify it immediately."

After the rectification is completed, we will invite you to come and provide guidance again..."

Before he could finish speaking, the other end said it wasn't a big problem and told him to continue operating the business, just reminding him to be more careful in the future.

Old Pi almost blurted out "Fuck you!"

play?

A big problem is brewing.

It shouldn't be a big problem in a little while.

After hanging up the phone, I thought about it more carefully and realized something was fishy.

It seems that this time it wasn't Lü Cong who started the trouble and reported him, but rather that Lü Cong hired people from that side to provoke him.

It's not surprising that the owners of these large beauty companies know the leaders of relevant organizations.

Did he scare Lü Cong just because he scolded her?

Afraid of being slapped?

Obviously impossible.

The young woman surnamed Lü was not as frail as she seemed.

Just as Lao Pi was wondering what was going on, Lü Cong's Panamera pulled up at the door again.

"Old Pi, all alone? Didn't President Jiang and the others have coffee with you?" Lu Cong greeted him with a smile.

He carried two bottles of Feitian liquor and two cartons of Huazi cigarettes from the car and came over to Old Pi, saying, "Old Pi, I really admire your talent."

I've resorted to any means necessary to get you.

Your criticism this morning was correct, and it woke me up. We're all in the same industry; we should stick together and support each other, not fight amongst ourselves.

He patted the wine and cigarettes on the table and smiled, "It's just a small token of my appreciation, don't take it to heart."

I promise I won't bother you again, and I wish you great success in your business.

After hearing her flattering words, Old Pi had only one feeling: it was like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken.

This young woman is vicious and ruthless.

Believe it or not.

Old Pi didn't respond.

Lu Cong said awkwardly, "If you had said earlier that you had a good relationship with President Jiang, we wouldn't have these conflicts, right?"

I hope you and President Jiang won't take it to heart. If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, just let me know.

"I won't disturb your peace any longer." Lü Cong stood up to say goodbye, took a few steps, then turned back and added, "By the way, don't believe what my driver said. He tried to threaten me into giving him a raise, and I've already fired him."

After saying that, he drove away.

Old Pi realized that it was Xiao Jiang who had stepped in to help.

That makes sense.

Xiao Jiang always has this ability.

Old Pi called Jiang Beicheng: "Are you awake? Young Master Jiang, come over for coffee if you're free."

Jiangbei Cheng happened to be passing by MixC in the afternoon to inspect the stores, and stopped briefly in front of the old leather store.

"What does this mean? They won't let you open?" Jiang Beicheng got out of the car and saw that Lao Pi's store was closed. He guessed that the morning's inspection might have failed and he was required to make rectifications.

"After you gave them a heads-up, they called me again, telling me to be extra careful and that I can continue operating normally!" Old Pi said with a smile, "It's such a small thing, and I'm sorry to have troubled you. I won't say thank you, Mr. Jiang, you know what I mean."

He pointed to his chest.

Old Pi is a man of honor, needless to say. When it came to Liu Yifei's matter, he made a phone call and Old Pi rushed to Shanghai in the middle of the night to help.

But he had just woken up and hadn't made a call yet. Jiang Beicheng replied truthfully, "Old Pi, I'm still a little sleepy. What call?"

"Didn't you make the call?" Old Pi asked, looking puzzled.

Then he recounted the events of that morning to Jiang Beicheng.

After listening, Jiang Beicheng laughed and said, "According to you, when we were having dinner together last night, you said that Lü Cong should have recognized me."

"That's right!" Old Pi suddenly realized, recalling what Lü Cong had said when he left, "The driver? It could be that driver, Lü Cong's driver."

Jiang Beicheng turned to Shen Jun and said, "Try to contact Lü Cong's driver."

We'll take them directly to the MixC store for dinner.

Shen Jun nodded and immediately went to do it.

Old Pi said, "Although you didn't personally show up, it still took your face."

Mr. Jiang cultivates many good relationships, bringing him boundless blessings!

Jiang Beicheng laughed and said, "I believe that. What you give, you receive; what you sow, you reap!"

"A family that accumulates good deeds will surely have abundant blessings!" This saying is the principle of conduct for people in Jiangbei City.

I sat and drank coffee with Lao Pi for a while, and before dinner we went to the MixC store together. After inspecting the store, we had dinner in a private room.

"President Jiang, Lü Cong's driver, Xie Jun, has arrived." Shen Jun found Xie Jun and brought him over as instructed by Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

Xie Jun entered the private room, bowed slightly, and respectfully addressed him as "President Jiang".

Seems a little reserved.

Jiang Beicheng walked up and shook hands with him. "You helped with Lao Pi's matter, right?" Xie Jun quickly waved his hand: "No, no, President Jiang, I don't have that much influence."

I just hope that Mr. Lü won't make things difficult for Mr. Jiang's friend. Mr. Lü should have checked Mr. Jiang's background...

"Mr. Jiang... I'm a little nervous. I didn't expect to meet you in person."

"Let's eat first!" Jiang Beicheng invited with a smile.

Xie Jun nodded to the two men, took their seats, but was still very nervous and didn't dare to touch his chopsticks.

"Make it easy, there aren't so many rules. If it's not to your liking, have the kitchen change it!" Jiang Beicheng called out.

"No need, no need, thank you for your hospitality, President Jiang." Xie Jun then picked up his chopsticks to eat.

Old Pi asked curiously, "Do you have some kind of leverage over Lü Cong?"
When she came to see me today, she specifically mentioned you, assuming you had come to see us and that we shouldn't believe what you said.

Xie Jun said earnestly, "Brother, you've already scolded him, and President Lü has apologized. The result is quite good now."

"Please don't make things difficult for me anymore. I received six months' salary from General Manager Lü, and I just left. It's not appropriate to talk about him behind his back."

"Haha, you're a very honest person." Old Pi laughed and raised his glass to him. "I admire your character."

Even if he didn't say anything, Lao Pi wouldn't delve into it. There was too much information to dig out, and he couldn't handle it himself, so he would have to trouble Xiao Jiang to step in.

He asked out of curiosity, but Xie Jun was unwilling to answer, so he didn't press further.

Hearing his words, Jiang Beicheng, like Lao Pi, thought he was an honest person.

Even after the person passed away, they remembered the kindness shown to them and chose not to reveal those little secrets.

Of course, if it were truly explosive information and made public, it would also cause him a lot of trouble.

Jiang Beicheng asked Xie Jun out of curiosity, "Have we met before?"

After listening to the whole story, Jiang Beicheng felt that he had some connection with this Xie Jun.

Xie Jun said excitedly, "President Jiang, I spent New Year's Eve at the Beicheng Hotel last year."

Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for taking me in!

He stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Beicheng.

It turns out that this is the origin of that free New Year's Eve dinner.

Jiang Beicheng invited him to sit down and eat while they chatted.

I asked him about what had happened in a concerned tone.

"General Jiang, I studied Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) at the Tagou Martial Arts School of Shaolin Temple for six years. I originally had the opportunity to be specially recruited into a special operations brigade, but I failed the physical examination and came back to make a living."

Old Pi asked, "What's the reason?"

Xie Jun raised his left hand and said, "When I went back to thresh corn for my family, my finger got caught in the belt and went into the machine."

My little finger is missing a segment.

"After returning, I opened a martial arts school with some friends, but it went bankrupt last year due to poor management. We were still in debt. I was too ashamed to go back home for the Chinese New Year last year. When I saw the news that Beicheng Hotel was offering free New Year's Eve dinner, I went to Beicheng Hotel for the New Year."

There, many of us who had experienced setbacks in our careers encouraged each other, shared our life experiences, and have now mostly moved on and are facing life anew.

Some of the guys I know are now driving for ride-hailing services or delivering food to pay off their debts. We keep communicating and encouraging each other to make a living.

They also said that as long as President Jiang is here for the New Year's Eve dinner, they won't have to worry about not having a place to celebrate the New Year.

President Jiang's New Year's Eve dinner gave us the courage to continue surviving in the city.

He raised his wine glass with both hands to toast Jiangbei City.

Old Pi patted Jiang Beicheng's hand, expressing his heartfelt admiration for his good brother's righteous act.

Jiang Beicheng stood up and clinked glasses with Xie Jun, took a sip, and placed his hand on the back of Xie Jun's hand. "What are your plans for the future?"

Xie Jun smiled and said, "I found a logistics company to deliver the goods."

"First, I need to earn money to pay off the debts from opening the martial arts school."

Jiang Beicheng: "Are you married?"

Xie Jun smiled and said, "I'm still single, President Jiang."

Old Pi joked, "I'll introduce you to one later."

He thought the young man was very honest.

Jiang Beicheng asked one more question: "You've studied Sanda for six years, how's your basic skill? Can you still fight?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang!"

Xie Jun was full of confidence.

Jiang Beicheng nodded: "Okay, you can come to Beicheng Hotel first and work as a driver in the warehouse. You will be responsible for delivering goods to the two stores in the city every day."

Xie Jun looked shocked.

He dreamed of working at a place like the Beicheng Hotel.

It has a lot of warmth.

Of course, the benefits are good too.

Jiang Beicheng continued, "Train here for a while, then come and be my driver."

Jiang Beicheng appreciated that Xie Jun didn't reveal his former boss Lü Cong's private affairs.

He happens to be able to drive, making him a good candidate for a private driver.

However, we still need to train him a bit more and observe him further.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

Once you understand and are familiar with the process, then we can discuss the next step.

Jiang Beicheng considered the ensuing relationship after the meal as a blessing.

"President Jiang, I...I..."

Xie Jun was so excited he was almost incoherent, "I'll kowtow to you!"

He was about to kneel down when Lao Pi and Jiang Beicheng each grabbed one of his hands.

Old Pi instructed, "Brother Xie, President Jiang is very good to his friends and employees, so he doesn't need you to give such a big gift."

If you work diligently under him, you won't be shortchanged.
