Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 358 Do you want to take the position?
When Jiang Beicheng accompanied Zheng Jiamin to Qingdao for a performance, Zheng Jiamin experienced the sexual bliss that Liu Shuyun often mentioned.

During this time, when I can't sleep at night, I often reminisce about it, hugging my pillow with a smile on my face.

However, she wasn't as outgoing and relaxed as her third sister. When these topics came up, her instinctive reaction was to feel shy.

It was all written on his face.

"You really gave it to me?" Liu Shuyun laughed happily as she looked at her best friend's shy expression. "I didn't lie to you, did I? Doesn't it feel different?"

“Let’s not talk about this.” Zheng Jiamin took a sip of her drink.

"Haha, congratulations on becoming a woman."

"Third sister, you're so annoying." Zheng Jiamin slapped her best friend's arm and couldn't help but laugh herself.

He glanced at Jiang Beicheng.

She then shyly looked away.

He covered his face with his hands and kept laughing.

How embarrassing, how shameful.

Why can Third Sister be so open and generous, while she gets red-faced just thinking about those things?
"It's okay, we're all adults. You're shy now because you haven't had many of Teacher Jiang's classes. Once you've had more, you'll naturally feel no problem."

Jiang Beicheng: "Third Sister is right."

"Uncle, you're so annoying." Zheng Jiamin tossed her hair and covered her face.

"Look, she's even learned to act cute now."

Liu Shuyun and Jiang Beicheng drank and teased their best friend.

It felt like the old days when the three of us best friends would drink and chat.

After finishing their meal, Jiang Beicheng and Zheng Jiamin left first, while Liu Shuyun stayed behind to look after the restaurant. Thanks to her best friend's song, the barbecue restaurant had become a hit, and it was operating at full capacity every day.

She wants to seize this opportunity to make herself rich.

As money gradually becomes more abundant, it's also important to enrich one's mind and make one's thoughts richer as well.

To narrow the gap between myself and my two best friends.

In the car, Jiang Beicheng asked Zheng Jiamin whether they wanted to stay at a hotel or at the apartment she shared with her third sister.
Zheng Jiamin suddenly turned to look at Jiang Beicheng and asked, "Uncle, is what Third Sister said true?"

Jiang Beicheng: "Which sentence?"

Zheng Jiamin pursed her lips, "The more classes you attend, the less shy you'll become!"

Jiang Beicheng was amused by her.

"Uncle, stop laughing, tell me, is it true?"

Jiang Beicheng nodded: "That makes some sense."

Zheng Jiamin held Jiang Beicheng's hand, not daring to look him in the eye, and turned her head towards the car window, saying, "Uncle, I don't really like that feeling of shame, my heart is in turmoil."

Jiang Beicheng understood what she meant.

She wanted to attend more classes.

"Secretary Shen, take Jiamin to the hotel," Jiang Beicheng instructed Shen Jun.

Shen Jun nodded.

Zheng Jiamin looked out the window, a faint smile on her face.

She feels that she is slowly becoming more like a woman.

……

I didn't go to Jiangbei City when Liu Shuyun's new store opened.

However, I recorded a short video to congratulate her.

Not only him, but also prominent figures from the Jiangnan City Catering Association stepped forward to record congratulatory videos.

Everyone is doing this out of respect for President Jiang.

Liu Shuyun used these relationships and connections to climb the ranks.

If you've given the money and the connections, and you still can't succeed, then it's your own problem.

She did not invite her family to the opening ceremony.

Her domineering parents felt ashamed that she was someone else's mistress, and her two older sisters and their husbands still held onto the old ways of working within the system and were unwilling to have much contact with her, a younger sister who had struggled in society.

I'm afraid of being mentioned in front of my colleagues and superiors; I feel ashamed.

This is the state that Liu Shuyun likes best right now; there's no moral coercion, and she can boldly be herself.

But to her surprise, her two older sisters actually came to congratulate her on the opening.

The night before.

The eldest sister's family and the second sister's family were having a meal together and were talking about the opening of the younger sister's new store.

The second sister, holding her phone, said, "Did you see the video that the third sister just posted?"

Beicheng Hotel, Chaoniu Hotpot, Yuelai Hotel Group, Facai Catering Investment Company... all the prominent figures in Jiangnan City's catering industry have recorded promotional videos for her.

These are all business owners worth hundreds of millions.

My brother-in-law said, "I guess it was President Jiang who helped me. I'm being very careful every day in the hospital, afraid of saying something wrong that the leaders will use against me and make me look bad."

The eldest brother-in-law patted him on the shoulder: "Third sister's backer is not only powerful in the business world, but also in the political world."

Last time I went to a meeting, the deputy district head and our bureau chief suddenly came over to chat with me. I was flattered. I've been working at the grassroots level for so many years and I've never received such a big honor.

The bureau chief asked me if I knew General Manager Jiang.

I smiled awkwardly and nodded. How was I supposed to answer? If I said I didn't know him, I would be cutting myself off. If I said I did know him, I would be too embarrassed to admit it.
"Our two families, including Mom and Dad, have always been a bit too harsh on my third sister."

The eldest sister remained silent and did not speak.

But deep down, she knew that the youngest sister, who was least favored among the three sisters, was now doing the best.

I used to think the system was great, and being a small leader was very prestigious. I could put on airs in front of my third sister.

Only after encountering a hurdle will you realize how strong Third Sister's connections are now.

this is the truth.

The second sister said to the eldest sister, "Let's go there tomorrow."

"We're sisters after all; my third sister wouldn't turn us away."

The older sister didn't reply, she just nodded.

When the two arrived at the opening ceremony the next day, they were once again amazed by Sanmei's extensive network of connections.

She's a big boss in the restaurant industry, a famous internet celebrity in Jiangnan City, and even has celebrities coming to support her. From another perspective, in terms of her career, Sanmei is already a very successful woman.

"Congratulations, Mr. Liu."

"President Liu is so charming today."

"Mr. Liu, this is just a small token of my appreciation."

"Mr. Liu, may your business prosper."

"..."

After greeting the guests, Liu Shuyun looked at her two older sisters.

She walked up to them confidently and said, "Big sister, second sister, what are you doing standing outside? Come in and sit down."

The second sister waved her hand awkwardly and said, "I won't sit down, third sister. My eldest sister and I came over to take a look."

Your second brother-in-law specifically asked me to come and offer my congratulations.

The older sister added, "Your brother-in-law is on duty today and can't leave, so he asked me to congratulate you on his behalf. I hope you understand."

The two older sisters intentionally mentioned their two brothers-in-law, and Liu Shuyun naturally knew their intentions.

The hospital where my second sister's husband works is owned by Jiang Jiang, so they definitely want Jiang Jiang to take good care of them.

Jiang Jiang is a frequent visitor to the district committee and government, so her brother-in-law probably wants Jiang Jiang to say a few good words for him and see if there's a chance to get into the bureau.

"I appreciate your kind gesture," Liu Shuyun replied with a smile. "I'll go attend to the customers now. Please make yourselves at home."

The two older sisters nodded.

Without disturbing them further, I left.

In Liu Shuyun's eyes, now that she has become rich, she can help alleviate the family's financial burden to the best of her ability.

However, she wouldn't let Jiang Beicheng step in and help them climb the social ladder just because her two older sisters or brothers-in-law said a few nice words.

She knows her two brothers-in-law too well; she wouldn't set a trap for her best friend Jiang Jiang.

When I entered the store to greet the guests, I saw a stranger.

I've never seen this woman before.

Seeing that she was talking to Zheng Jiamin, I didn't disturb them.

After they finished chatting, Liu Shuyun greeted them with a smile.

"Mr. Liu, may your business prosper," Wu Wen congratulated him.

"Thank you, Jiamin. Are you your friend?" Liu Shuyun looked at Zheng Jiamin.

“Uncle’s friend, Mr. Wu, the editor-in-chief of Shangcheng magazine,” Zheng Jiamin said.

Wu Wen smiled and said, "I just chatted with Jiamin about the journal collaboration at the end of the year, and we had a very pleasant conversation."

"Oh, okay, I won't disturb you. You two continue chatting, or how about we go to the tea room to talk?" Liu Shuyun assumed that Wu Wen had come for her best friend, a big star.

Wu Wen smiled and said, "President Liu, actually I came here today to congratulate you on the opening of your new store."

Liu Shuyun looked puzzled.

The two had no prior connection, and it couldn't have been Jiang Jiang who sent her; Secretary Shen had already come on Jiang Jiang's behalf.

Wu Wen said, "President Liu, please go ahead with your work. We can have a private chat after you've finished entertaining your guests."

The three of us?
Liu Shuyun glanced at Zheng Jiamin and Wu Wen, wondering what the three of them could talk about.
He politely replied, "Okay, Mr. Wu, please eat first, we'll talk later."

……

After serving lunch to the guests, Liu Shuyun came over and asked with concern, "Mr. Wu, did you enjoy the food?"

"Thank you for your warm hospitality, Mr. Liu."

"Let's talk in our office!" Liu Shuyun invited.

He moved to the office and took a seat.

"Ms. Liu, you've worked hard today." Wu Wen handed her a wet wipe so she could wipe her sweat.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu."

Liu Shuyun sat down and made tea.

"Do President Liu and Jiamin know President Hai of Xishanxingju?" Wu Wen suddenly asked while drinking tea.

Zheng Jiamin and Liu Shuyun immediately tensed up.

Both of them had met Haitangxi and knew that she was Jiang Beicheng's official girlfriend.

My first thought was, does Wu Wen know about their relationship with Jiang Beicheng?

People in the media industry have many information channels and are friends with Jiang Beicheng, so it's not surprising that they know these things.

What was her purpose in coming to ask about this matter today?
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu, I don't know the Mr. Hai you mentioned." Liu Shuyun remained wary.

Wu Wen smiled and said, "Li Xingying and Wu Keqing, you should know each other, right?"

I used to often accompany President Jiang to drink at Sanmei'er Barbecue Restaurant.

Liu Shuyun instantly remembered the two girls Jiang Jiang had brought earlier: one was a big internet celebrity, and the other was Jiang Jiang's sister.

She looked at Wu Wen with a questioning gaze, "What is the purpose of Ms. Wu asking these questions?"

Wu Wen said, "President Liu, don't be nervous. I'm the same kind of person as you."

Zheng Jiamin frowned.

Is she also Jiang Jiang's woman?

Liu Shuyun said, "President Wu, I don't quite understand what you mean?"

She wouldn't easily reveal her and her best friend's identities.

What other women do and fight over is none of her business with them, as long as it doesn't affect them.

They both came from humble beginnings and have little ability to withstand risks, so they wouldn't get involved in things like vying for favor.

Wu Wen smiled and said, "I've dealt with General Hai before. She can't tolerate us stray cats and dogs surrounding General Jiang."

I'm not trying to belittle you; in this Mr. Hai's eyes, we're just stray cats and dogs.

Perhaps your reasons for approaching President Jiang are different from mine, but in President Hai's eyes, or in the eyes of those three women, we are all the same kind of people.

"President Liu, do you want to be promoted?"
