Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 307 You don't even know about Little Jiang?
Putting a third-generation Red Army descendant like Li Xiancheng and a second-generation rich kid like Jiang Beicheng together, the two are typical examples of client-side and service-side thinking.

Li Xiancheng is the type who asks for things, and others give them to him willingly.

Jiangbei City is the kind of place where you give to everyone, serve others well, and then ask them to accept the benefits.

The two people have completely opposite mindsets when it comes to doing things and socializing.

Once you understand this point, it's actually quite easy to become friends with this Mr. Li.

Jiangbei City has already taken the initiative to adopt the attitude of the service provider, serving Mr. Li, the client who is visiting Jiangnan City.

When traveling in Jiangnan City, you will inevitably have to deal with the three aspects of food, accommodation, and transportation.

Moreover, his status requires a very high level of environmental protection, firstly privacy, and secondly comfort.

All Jiangbei City needs to do is give a heads-up to his friends in Jiangnan City who work in the high-end entertainment service industry.

When Young Master Li discovers that he can't avoid the name "Little Boss Jiang" when he's active in Jiangnan City, he'll naturally realize the significance of Little Boss Jiang, and he'll take the initiative to consider whether or not to become your friend.

Jiang Beicheng has businesses in Beijing, including the Beicheng Hotel near the Imperial College, Yizhi Culture Media in the China World Trade Center, and the Beijing office of Lian Capital. It's necessary to interact more with these Beijing gentry who grew up in these compound-style buildings.

According to Zhang Qing, this Mr. Li is not just an ordinary third-generation revolutionary; he comes from a prominent family.

The opening ceremony of the Forbes Jiangnan Reception Hall began, and Jiang Beicheng, as a member representative of the Forbes Global Alliance, was to give a speech.

After Secretary Yan, representing the district government, and Zhang Qing, president of Forbes China Group, delivered their speeches, Jiang Beicheng took the stage, where he was greeted with enthusiastic applause.

Li Xiancheng sensed that Jiangbei City held a very high status within this group.

However, this group is at most a social elite group to him, far less important than the network of connections and social resources he has had since childhood.

However, it's quite impressive that this young CEO Jiang has become a representative figure among the elite in Jiangnan City at such a young age.

Li Xiancheng politely joined in the applause.

Jiang Beicheng said, "It is a great honor to be invited by Forbes China Group to participate in tonight's launch ceremony."

I remember the last time I met with Mr. Zhang was at the Shanghai Reception Hall. At that time, I talked with Mr. Zhang about our young Jiangnan City, which has unlimited development potential. I suggested to Mr. Zhang that Jiangnan City build a reception hall.

In less than six months, the Jiangnan City Reception Hall was completed…

Li Xiancheng and Secretary Yan, who were standing to the side, both looked at Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing smiled and nodded at the two of them.

He played a certain role in proving that what Jiang Beicheng said was true.

But ultimately, the group made the decision after a six-month investigation.

This is why Jiang Beicheng was chosen to speak on behalf of the group today to inspire everyone.

To express respect and gratitude.

After Jiang Beicheng finished speaking, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause once again.

The calls for "General Jiang" are growing louder.

After he came down, Zhang Qing raised a glass of champagne to toast everyone, and together they celebrated the completion of the Forbes Reception Hall in Jiangnan City.

After finishing his glass of champagne, Li Xiancheng left first.

Secretary Yan also left.

After seeing the two off, Zhang Qing returned with a smile and thanked Jiang Beicheng for giving him face today, saying those words on stage, which established a good image for the Jiangnan City reception hall.

After expressing his gratitude, he asked one more question: "How did your conversation go, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Li?"

It means he acted as a go-between tonight and now wants to know how it goes.

Jiang Beicheng bluntly stated, "This Mr. Jing is not very down-to-earth."

Zhang Qing understood what Jiang Beicheng meant; he meant that Jiang Beicheng was a bit arrogant and difficult to approach.

“I’ve been in Beijing for a long time, and this group is pretty much the same. Their circle is actually quite small, and it’s really difficult to integrate.” Zhang Qing said generously, “Mr. Jiang, I’ll find another opportunity to organize a gathering.”

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Mr. Zhang. But now that we're on my home turf, I know how to perform."

Seeing Jiang Beicheng's confident demeanor, Zhang Qing smiled and wished him success in his career.

"Boss Jiang, goodbye!"

"Mr. Jiang, when would you have time to come and give me some guidance on my work?"

The banquet guests gradually left, bidding farewell to Jiangbei City.

Jiang Beicheng and Haitangxi were the last to leave. Both of them had been drinking, and Shen Jun drove them.

……

Li Xiancheng left the reception room to meet his friend Qin Yi in Jiangnan City, the son of the city's Party Secretary-General and also his classmate when he was studying for his master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania.

He is now a partner at the most famous law firm in Jiangnan City.

"Stay at home or in a hotel?" Qin Yi asked for his opinion.

"Let's go to the hotel. We won't bother your parents."

"A municipal reception hotel?"

"Forget it, let's not do that in private."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you." Qin Yi said with a smile, "You probably didn't eat much at the banquet, right? How about we find a place to grab a late-night snack?"

"I'm not eating today. I just want to go back to the hotel and rest. We'll make arrangements for tomorrow," Li Xiancheng said.

"OK, I'll take you straight to the hotel and pick you up tomorrow. We'll play some ball together in the morning, and then I'll invite some friends over for some fun in the afternoon," Qin Yi said.

Li Xiancheng nodded.

At the entrance of the Raffles City Hotel, hotel manager McLean came out to greet him warmly, speaking fluent Chinese, "Hello, Mr. Li, welcome to the Raffles City InterContinental Hotel."

Li Xiancheng didn't think much of it, assuming it was a ritual arranged by his classmate Qin Yi, and smiled at Qin Yi, saying, "Actually, there's no need to make such a big fuss."

Qin Yi smiled and shook his head.

This indicates that it was not arranged by themselves.

Li Xiancheng looked at Qin Yi with a puzzled expression.

“Mr. Li, Mr. Jiang already informed us before you arrived that we have reserved an ambassadorial suite for you. I will now escort you to check-in. You can hand your luggage over to our hotel butler and staff,” McLean said.

When Li Xiancheng heard the name "Little Jiang" again, his gaze turned to Qin Yi.

Qin Yi smiled but remained silent.

Let him experience it for himself. "I won't disturb your rest any longer. Sweet dreams, see you tomorrow." Qin Yi bid farewell to Li Xiancheng.

I picked him up the next morning to go to Nanshan Golf Club for a round of golf.

It gets quite hot in the afternoon, but you can still exercise outdoors in the morning.

Mr. Zhang, the general manager of Nanshan Golf Club, and his caddies warmly greeted Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, welcome, welcome. Your arrival is an honor to our club."

Li Xiancheng looked at Qin Yi with a puzzled expression once again.

Qin Yi laughed and said, "I don't have that much influence, unless I bring up my father, but that would definitely get me scolded."

Give him directions and let him follow them.

As they walked, Mr. Zhang introduced, "Mr. Li, Mr. Jiang already gave you instructions before you came. You can contact me directly if you have any needs."

Li Xiancheng heard the name "Little Jiang" once again.

As he rode the shuttle bus to the green, he asked the caddies out of curiosity, "Do you know Mr. Jiang?"

"know!"

"Mr. Jiang and his father are both friends of Mr. Zhang."

"Young Master Jiang is a really nice person..."

The caddie immediately started praising him.

Judging from their smiles, they don't seem to be lying.

“This young General Manager Jiang,” Li Xiancheng shook his head and asked Qin Yi, “You wouldn’t happen to be a spy he sent, would you?”
Otherwise, how would he know my whereabouts?

"To be honest, Mr. Jiang is also my friend." Qin Yi said directly, "Young Master Li, Mr. Jiang's reputation goes far beyond that. You can experience it for yourself in Jiangnan City these next few days."

Li Xiancheng smiled.

What do you mean?
Is CEO Jiang trying to flex his muscles?

interesting.

After playing golf, I had lunch with Mr. Zhang.

As he was leaving, General Manager Zhang saw him off. Li Xiancheng asked curiously, "General Manager Zhang, did General Manager Jiang tell you who I am?"

Mr. Zhang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Young Master Jiang only told us to take good care of Mr. Li, the distinguished guest from Beijing, and didn't say anything else."

As a friend, I will definitely do my best to fulfill the tasks assigned by Xiao Jiang.

Lee Hyun-sung smiled, waved, and left. This is getting more and more interesting.

After leaving the club, Qin Yi took him to Jiangnan No. 1, a top-tier private club in Jiangnan City.

This is the most private club with the best privacy.

Entertainment, karaoke, dining, chess and card games, tea tasting and eggplant tasting... everything is available.

It is the most suitable place to receive people of special status like Young Master Li.

The same routine was followed: the owner of Jiangnan No. 1 came out with two beautiful young ladies in cheongsams to warmly greet them.

The answer remains the same: "Mr. Jiang has already given the word."

Qin Yi invited two of his trusted friends to come over and spend the afternoon entertaining Li Xiancheng at a private club.

We also had dinner at the club.

After finishing their meal and drinking tea until late at night, Qin Yi took Li Xiancheng out for a late-night snack.

As soon as Li Xiancheng sat down, the owner of the barbecue restaurant warmly greeted him.

He couldn't help but ask, "Did General Manager Jiang also put in a good word for you?"

Qin Yi smiled when he heard the question.

Young Master Li is traumatized.

The barbecue restaurant owner looked puzzled.

Li Xiancheng said with a smile, "I thought I was going to hear the name of President Jiang again."

The barbecue restaurant owner greeted them with a smile, "Are you friends of CEO Jiang?"

Li Xiancheng stared blankly at his boss: "You really know him?"

"We know him, we all call him Boss."

"Boss?"

The boss smiled and said, "He is the head of the Jiangnan City Catering Association."

Leaving aside small shops, even for shops like ours that are a bit bigger, the owners all respect Mr. Jiang.

The huge traffic during the Spring Festival meant we made a lot of money. To be honest, in all my years in the catering industry, I've never met anyone like Mr. Jiang.

The prestigious reputation of Jiangnan City's catering industry was built by Xiao Jiang and us together.

Judging from your accent, you're not a local, are you? Since you're Mr. Jiang's friend, please make yourselves at home and don't stand on ceremony with me."

Lee Hyun-sung was starting to look a little surprised.

This young General Jiang's reputation has already spread among the masses.

He looked at Qin Yi, who smiled and said, "Jiangnan City is a city with a strong sense of local life and江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry). In addition to the political and business circles, there is also a jianghu circle, that's what they call it."

Mr. Jiang is the core figure in this circle.

Of course, Xiao Jiang is also very famous in the Jiangnan municipal and business circles. His father was a well-known entrepreneur in Jiangnan City.

It's no exaggeration to say that we are fortunate to have a friend like Mr. Jiang.

He really steps up when something happens!

After hearing these words, Li Xiancheng wondered if he had been a bit arrogant in his attitude toward General Manager Jiang last night.

A street performer with a guitar on his back walks by while you're having a late-night snack. Ask them if they want to request a song.
Seeing that she was working hard to earn money while carrying her child, Li Xiancheng requested a Cantonese version of "Friendship Years".

The woman smiled and said, "Thank you, boss. I sing this song the best. I used to sing at the night market on the bar street, and Mr. Jiang would always request this song. I didn't know it at first, but I learned it slowly, hahaha."

It's Xiao Jiang again!
Li Xiancheng was shocked, even thinking that these people were actors hired by Xiao Jiang.
