Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 351 Isn't Aunt Shen appealing anymore?

"Actually, I've never met Wang Xing," Jiang Beicheng replied to Liu Qiangdong.

Whether it's the conflict between Beicheng Hotel and the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide, or his personal veiled criticism at the Service Industry CEO Summit, it all points to Meituan.

There's no deep-seated hatred between them.

Jiang Beicheng's true thought was to keep Meituan up at night.

It's somewhat similar to what Jack Ma said back then.

However, he and Jack Ma have two obvious differences.

First, he won't personally get involved like Jack Ma, criticizing everyone and everything, attacking whoever he dislikes, or anyone who gets in his way.

Jack Ma's silence over the past few years has already illustrated the point.

Secondly, Jiangbei City targets companies that are still operating under rigid business models, with the main purpose of alerting and urging them to make changes.

He has already enjoyed most of the wealth brought by the system, and for those he hasn't yet enjoyed, he just needs to take some time to spend some money.

If Jiangbei City were to pursue material needs, it would feel very empty.

With a system in place and no worries about the future, let's broaden our perspective and focus on the entire society.

To pursue some spiritual needs.

"Once JD.com completes this round of financing and it's made public, Wang Xing will probably hate you," Liu Qiangdong joked.

He himself was quite emotional.

Eight years ago at the Wuzhen Internet Conference, there was a dinner party that influenced China's internet industry: the Dongxing Dinner.

At that time, Ma Huateng sat in the center position, and he and Wang Xing were his left and right protectors.

They were allies at the dinner table back then, but now they're turning against each other.

Tencent has significantly reduced its stake in JD.com in recent years, almost exiting the ranks of JD.com's shareholders, but Tencent remains the largest shareholder of Meituan.

The only saving grace in this battle is that we can fight it with confidence and without worrying about Tencent intervening as a peacemaker again.

There's no way around it; business competition is just that ruthless. As a business leader, you have to see the big picture.

Jiang Beicheng sighed, "The flowers are similar year after year, but the people are different year after year."

Liu Qiangdong smiled as he listened: "I feel like you're the one who should be my age."

Jiang Beicheng clinked glasses with Liu Qiangdong at the end: "Although you are young, you have a lot of life experience."

This is the truth.

There are very few second-generation individuals in China with such rich life experiences as him.

There's a little old man living inside me.

That's why his best friend Zheng Jiamin affectionately calls him "Uncle"!

The two laughed and bumped hands one last time, ending their chat for the evening.

The hotel's van picked up Jiang Beicheng and took him back to the hotel to rest.

Pushing open the door, I saw Aunt Shen's youthful appearance once again.

Wearing a black lace bodycon dress, holding a wine glass, listening to the dance music from the Best Buy, she danced in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, swaying her waist, beautiful on her own.

He turned back and smiled at Jiangbei City.

Half of her face was covered by long hair, but her eyes and red lips exuded allure.

Jiang Beicheng smiled, walked towards Shen Jun, and gave a gentlemanly bow. "Beautiful Aunt Shen, may I ask you to choose a dance?"

"my pleasure."

Jiang Beichen held Aunt Shen's hand and waist, and danced two slow waltzes with her.

The atmosphere was incredibly romantic.

"I'm going to Liu Yifei's house tomorrow, and you'll go to the Poly Auction in my place tonight," Jiang Beicheng said.

He took a liking to a landscape painting at the Poly Auction Summer Sale, Fu Baoshi's "Majestic View of Mount Hua".

This painting is nearly 47 square feet, and it would be perfect to take a picture of it and hang it in the main hall of the manor villa.

Fu Baoshi's two most famous paintings, which are considered the most valuable by collectors, are "Majestic Mount Hua" and "This Land So Rich in Beauty".

The painting "This Land So Rich in Beauty" hangs in the reception hall of the Great Hall of the People. The great man himself inscribed the words, and no one dared to touch the painting.

However, the painting "Majestic Appearance of Mount Hua," which depicts the magnificence of Mount Hua, is awarded to the highest bidder.

The original collector of this painting consigned it to Poly Auction for auction.

It is estimated that Jiangbei City may fetch a very high price.

He had originally planned to go to the venue by himself, but since Xixi had specially come back from the film set to spend the weekend with him, he couldn't spoil Liu Yifei's fun.

Shen Jun can just go to the auction house.

"Is Aunt Shen no longer appealing?" Shen Jun asked, twisting her body.

As for work-related matters, once President Jiang assigns them, she must do them well.

But now that we've just gotten out of the romance, President Jiang is bringing up other women, which is a bit of a downer.

"Let me smell it!"

Jiang Beicheng chuckled mischievously, bringing his nose close to Shen Jun's chest.

Shen Jun smiled happily.

Her eyes, alluring as she gazed at Jiang Beicheng, asked, "Is it Aunt Shen Xiang?"

"fragrant!"

"Hahahaha!" Shen Jun picked up the glass of red wine in his hand and fed it to Jiang Beicheng.

A little bit spilled from the corner of his mouth.

Shen Jun quickly kissed him with his lips, "We can't waste it."

Jiang Beichen pinched Shen Jun's butt hard, "Aunt Shen smells sweet but is also a little sultry."

Shen Jun proudly asked, "Do you like it?"

Jiang Beicheng lowered his head and said, "Ask it."

"devil!"

"That 'dead bastard' sounds nice."

As the two jumped, they changed their posture, and Shen Jun placed her hands on the French windows.

……

As soon as Liu Yifei landed, she sent her home address to Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng tidied himself up a bit and went out to meet his fertility partner.

Her mansion in Beijing isn't as extravagant as the internet makes it out to be; it's just a relatively private old villa area.

A detached villa with a garden.

The community has a large green area; I guess the online marketing accounts are exaggerating the common area as her personal usable area. "Beibei~"

Liu Yifei walked out with a smile, opening her arms to Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beichen picked her up and spun her around.

She placed her hands on Jiang Beicheng's shoulders, her smile radiant.

"What about your 25-acre garden?" Jiang Beicheng joked.

Liu Yifei said, "You believe what those online marketing accounts say?"
This is Beijing. What does 25 mu (approximately 4.3 hectares) of land mean?

Looking at the bag in Jiang Beichen's hand, she asked curiously, "Did you bring me a gift?"

"It was specially prepared for you," Jiang Beichen replied with a smile.

Liu Yifei took it curiously, opened it, and looked at Jiang Beicheng with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Beicheng said, "I think you would look great in Holiland's work uniform."

She instantly understood Jiang Beicheng's intention, suppressed a laugh, and patted Jiang Beicheng's arm, "You have these kinds of quirks?"

Jiang Beicheng said, "That's too many."

"That's enough!" Liu Yifei pushed Jiang Beicheng's head with her finger.

She didn't complain or say she wouldn't cooperate.

I think this is a very normal thing.

Relationships between men and women sometimes need a bit of excitement.

"Wait a moment!"

As Jiang Beicheng was about to enter the house, Liu Yifei stopped him.

“Record a facial information.” Liu Yifei said while operating the smart lock, “You often come to Beijing for business these days, and hotels are definitely not as comfortable as home. Next time you come, stay at my place.”

Jiang Beicheng asked, "Doesn't your aunt live with you?"

"No, she lives in Chaoyang," Liu Yifei said. "I mostly live alone here, but I occasionally invite friends over for gatherings."

Jiang Beichen joked, "I've also gotten better; I've been taken care of by a rich woman."

Liu Yifei was impressed by his words and jokingly asked, "Is it shameful to be kept by me?"

Jiang Beichen grabbed her and carried her into the house. “The doctor has always said that I have a poor appetite and am suited to be a kept man.”

"Hahahaha~" Liu Yifei laughed happily.

He went inside and collapsed onto the sofa, resting his head on Jiang Beicheng's lap. He picked up his phone and ordered a private chef to come and cook dinner.

"Are you hungry?" Liu Yifei asked, putting down her phone.

"Mmm." Jiang Beichen leaned down and kissed her lips.

"Are you hungry?"

"Let's not talk about that now."

"What do you want to talk about?" Liu Yifei got up and sat on Jiang Beicheng's lap, resting her hands on his shoulders, teasing him.

"Let's talk about some personal matters."

"What private matter?"

Jiang Beicheng reached his hands inside her t-shirt.

"Meow~"

A calico cat suddenly jumped onto the sofa, arching its back and flattening its ears, looking like it was about to challenge him.

"I'm your father!" Jiang Beichen threatened.

Meow~ Wow~ Wow~
Liu Yifei laughed out loud: "It's cursing at you, can you hear it?"

Jiang Beicheng chimed in, "It sounds like they used really dirty language."

"Have you touched enough?" Liu Yifei stared at Jiang Beichen's hands. "Want to come with me to feed the cats?"

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

I grabbed the cat food and went out the door.

"The property management of this community is very humane. They have built many shelters for stray cats. I will go to feed them when I am at home. Usually, the aunt who takes care of the villa helps me feed them."

Other residents in the community are also very caring and often feed them.

That tabby cat was the mischievous one in their group, always getting into fights. The blue cat was an outsider; it stayed after fitting in. And that Ragdoll cat—its owner went to England, and it was abandoned…”

Jiang Beicheng accompanied her for a walk in the neighborhood, listening to her tell stories about these stray cats.

I had only heard that she liked cats before, but I never imagined that she liked them to this extent.

"The stray cats in your neighborhood are the most well-fed stray cats I've ever seen," Jiang Beicheng joked.

They were all plump and fat, not at all like stray cats.

I guess the property management company also had them spayed/neutered.

They live in a luxury residential area and enjoy a life free from worries about food and clothing.

"Hahaha, did you hear that? Beibei thinks you're too fat." Liu Yifei laughed as she fed the cat.

After accompanying her for a walk, the private chef arrived just in time to prepare dinner.

The two sat in the courtyard drinking coffee.

Suddenly, Da Mimi made a voice call to him, and Jiang Beichen smiled at Liu Yifei while holding the phone.

"Girlfriend?" Liu Yifei asked.

Jiang Beicheng shook his head: "Your old friend."

Liu Yifei immediately realized it was Yang Mi.

"Do you need me to excuse myself?" Liu Yifei asked, preparing to get up.

Jiang Beichen grabbed her hand: "No need, they should be asking me to run tomorrow morning."

When we parted at the Japanese restaurant last time, Da Mimi repeatedly told me to ask her out more often.

During this period, he was preoccupied with JD.com's financing, and with his best friend Jiamin by his side, he didn't even think about Yang Mi.

I guess Da Mimi felt ignored again and came here to find some sense of existence.

That's her habitual way of doing things.

Jiang Beicheng hung up the voice call immediately. Da Mimi naturally understood that it wasn't convenient right now.

He put down his phone and smiled at Liu Yifei, saying, "I probably won't be able to get up tomorrow morning."

Liu Yifei shook her head, not wanting to argue with him, and patted his shoulder: "Let's eat."

Jiang Beicheng went to the restaurant for a meal.

At the same time, Shen Jun arrived at the Poly Auction and sent a message to Jiang Beicheng to report.
