Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 387 Sister-in-law
Jiang Beicheng was well aware of Master Wei's rise to power, having heard his friends talk about it more than once.

He was able to secure major projects such as bridges, tunnels, and subways because of the support of his comrades in Beijing.

When Jiang Beicheng saw the old military commander again at Wei Ye's manor, he couldn't help but wonder if this old commander was Wei Ye's comrade-in-arms.

"Oh my, oh my, hahaha, I've finally met my little brother from Beicheng."

Mr. Wei was very enthusiastic. He ran over with brisk steps and hugged Jiang Beicheng. "You've been making headlines again lately, young CEO Jiang."

Jiang Beicheng humbly replied, "It's all because my friends are giving me face."

Master Wei admired Jiang Beicheng's character of not taking credit for his mistakes. If they had been as steady as Young Master Jiang when they were young, they wouldn't have gone down the wrong path and ended up having their own brother spend so many years in jail.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of family background compared to Xiao Jiang's.

To be honest, the businessmen who made their fortunes in that era were all very arrogant.

They consider themselves superior.

He is arrogant and disdainful of others.

Xiao Jiang has always been worldly and has seen wealth, so he is not frivolous at all despite his young age.

"Come on, come on, Mr. Jiang, let me introduce you to a friend." Boss Wei put his arm around Jiang Beicheng's shoulder and walked towards his comrade-in-arms.

Jiang Beicheng addressed him respectfully as "Old Chief".

The old commander smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that you and Lao Wei have such a good relationship. If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered the garrison."

I made a special trip to the city just to see you.

These days, if your superiors don't give you face, you feel bad; if they do, they think you're a nuisance.

"A new emperor brings a new court; it's best if we retirees don't bother them too much."

Wei Ye looked at Jiang Beicheng and the old leader in surprise, "Old leader, you've met before!"

The old leader smiled and nodded: "Not only have we met, but we met at the municipal party committee."

He was an important guest at the meeting with the Party Secretary.

At such a young age, his future is limitless.

Wei Ye excitedly patted Jiang Beicheng on the shoulder: "You're something else, Beicheng brother. I've never seen a leader as high-ranking as the Party Secretary in my entire life."

The old leader said sarcastically, "You're completely useless; you've gone down the wrong path."

"Yes, yes, yes, the leader is right to criticize." Old Wei replied with a smile, "We're both getting on in years, it's time for us to enjoy our retirement, let's not talk about the past."

"Young man from the North City, please sit down. We'll keep the old commander company with tea."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and sat down, asking curiously, "Old Chief, you came to Jiangnan City this time to see Master Wei, right?"

The old leader laughed and said, "You guessed it, kid. We get together for our birthdays."

On my birthday, he flew from America to Beijing.

He celebrated his birthday, and I flew to Jiangnan City.

I came here mainly to celebrate Lao Wei's birthday and have a drink with him.

I'd also like to take this opportunity to visit you, this outstanding young entrepreneur.

You are now a celebrity among us veterans who fought in the Sino-Vietnamese War.

Jiang Beicheng was flattered and raised his teacup to the senior leader, saying, "Thank you for your recognition, comrades."

"Hahaha, you have such a likable personality." The old commander patted Jiang Beicheng on the shoulder.

Master Wei continued, "Not only is his personality likable, but his way of dealing with people also makes people feel comfortable."

I don't like many young people, and I respect even fewer. The Beicheng brothers are one of them.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "Since you say so, Master Wei, I have no choice but to drink your birthday wine."

Master Wei said, "Hey, you can't not come. If you come, you'll have to sit in the VIP seat."

The old leader said, "I won't participate in your gatherings of all sorts of people; it's not a good influence. Today, we'll get together privately and have a few drinks with you."

"Beicheng needs to keep us two old folks company."

Jiang Beicheng said modestly, "I'll keep you company. At worst, I'll have my secretary contact an ambulance, and we'll just have you taken away after you finish drinking."

"Hahaha, no wonder you can command such a large following in Jiangnan City. Your forthright and generous spirit is quite endearing." The old leader praised, "You remind me of Old Wei in his youth."

Jiang Beicheng joked, "In internet parlance, my alcohol tolerance is only three and a half ounces. I may not be able to hold my liquor, but I'm willing to throw up."

The two elders smiled along.

After drinking tea in the courtyard for a while, a middle-aged woman came out of the villa.

Her temperament and appearance are similar to Aunt Shen's.

She maintains good posture and knows how to dress herself well, making a striking impression.

She has a perfectly proportioned, slightly chubby figure.

She also had a touch of European and American fashion sense about her. "Old man, the food is ready," the woman said as she walked over.

Master Wei introduced, "Brother Beicheng, this is your sister-in-law, Miaozhi."

Jiang Beicheng was taken aback for a moment.

Master Wei is almost seventy, and Miao Zhi should be thirty or forty years younger than him.

Master Wei is certainly full of energy.

I suddenly remembered something a friend mentioned: Mr. Wei had a son late in life, and he went to the United States to send his youngest son to school.

"Sister-in-law, it's a pleasure to meet you," Jiang Beicheng said politely as he stood up.

Miao Zhi was very generous and took the initiative to hug Jiang Beicheng. "I had heard of President Jiang's great name before I returned to China."

I had the honor of meeting the real person today.

He turned out to be a dashing and debonair young master.

Jiang Beicheng smiled politely and nodded.

Master Wei joked, "Your sister-in-law is obsessed with looks, you'd better watch out."

Miao Zhi smiled and patted Wei Ye's shoulder: "Old man, don't scare the brothers in Beicheng. When I met you, you were just as good as you were."

Jiang Beicheng gave an awkward laugh.

His first impression of Miao Zhi was that she was "slutty".

Although Aunt Shen is quite "flirtatious" in private, she always behaves very decently in daily life.

Miao Zhi, this sister-in-law, exudes a flirtatious air in every gesture she makes.

Her eyes were so captivating.

Master Wei should know her personality very well; you really can't handle a woman like that without some real strength.

Master Wei stood up and said, "Old leader, brothers from Beicheng, let's have lunch at the restaurant."

They chatted while drinking.

Jiang Beicheng and the old leader followed them into the villa.

Miao Zhi opened two bottles of red wine and helped open two more bottles of wine.

First, pour wine for the old leader and Master Wei, then ask Jiang Beicheng, "Young General Jiang, would you like red wine or white wine?"

Jiang Beicheng said, "Let's make it white, otherwise it will make me, the junior, seem out of place."

Miao Zhi said, "It seems I'll be drinking alone tonight."

He laughed as he poured the sauce onto the table for Jiang Beicheng.

Wei raised his glass and said, "First of all, I would like to thank my old leader for making a special trip to celebrate my birthday with me. Over the years, our comradeship has remained as strong as ever."

I made some mistakes when I was young, and I feel guilty for letting down my former boss who mentored me.

The old leader grabbed Wei Ye's hand: "What nonsense are you talking about? At our age, what we pursue is health and longevity. Let's see who lives the longest."

Enough with the rest of your nonsense.

Master Wei smiled and looked at Jiang Beicheng again: "Brother Beicheng, I owe you a favor. Thank you for giving me face regarding the matter with the young master of the Liang family."

Brother Beicheng, let me offer you a toast.

Jiang Beicheng raised his glass and said, "I am unworthy of such high praise from you two elders."

I am grateful that you two elders have taken notice of me and allowed me to sit at your table.

Since we're close friends, our bond is in the wine; I'll drink this first.

I downed the glass in one go.

The old leader and Master Wei exchanged a glance and nodded with a smile.

His eyes revealed his fondness for this young friend from Jiangbei City.

Master Wei also downed a drink.

The old leader laughed and said, "We must get together in Beijing when we have the chance. I just don't feel like I'm really motivated here today."

Do you spend a lot of time traveling from Beicheng to Beijing?

Jiang Beicheng replied, "Old Chief, to be honest, I also have some investments in Beijing."

I got to know some friends from the Beijing compound.

The old commander should know them.

The old leader asked curiously, "Oh, tell me about those friends?"
