The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.
Chapter 220: I spoke out of turn.
Jiang Baohai went to visit the injured employees of the remaining three companies by himself.
Gao Qinghe remembered her promise to find legal counsel for Jiang Baohai. After waking up naturally, she sat on the edge of the bed and pondered her network of contacts.
There is a current shortage of talent; it's not an era where college graduates are everywhere.
It's really not easy to find a reliable legal counsel.
Either you bombard people with advertisements and wait for talent to come to you.
Alternatively, you can only ask your friends and family to help recommend it.
In this era, the latter is clearly more reliable and more efficient.
After much thought, Gao Qinghe considered the connections that could help her accomplish this task.
It seems that only Lu Gaoming meets the criteria.
Even the thick-skinned Gao Qinghe felt a little embarrassed to have to trouble Director Lu again.
However, before she could come up with a reason, Lu Gaoming extended an olive branch to her.
"Xiaohe?"
My mother-in-law called out very softly from outside the door.
Gao Qinghe had already woken up and asked her what was wrong.
"There's a phone call, someone's looking for you."
"Who is it?" Gao Qinghe put on a coat and opened the door.
Jiang's mother pointed to the still-connected phone and shook her head; she had forgotten to ask.
Gao Qinghe gestured for her to go ahead, then strode over to the telephone and picked it up.
She had barely said "hello" when a familiar voice came from the other end.
Gao Qinghe thought to herself, "This is truly a stroke of luck!"
What does it mean to have a pillow appear whenever you're sleepy? This is it!
Lu Gaoming said, "The time is set for 5 pm tomorrow at the Oriental Hotel. Is it convenient for you to come by yourself? If not, I will have someone pick you up in advance."
"A Cadillac?" Gao Qinghe asked expectantly.
With a "beep," the phone was hung up.
Gao Qinghe shrugged regretfully, "Just kidding."
Jiang's mother peeked out curiously and asked, "Who's looking for you?"
Fortunately, the voice sounded like a woman's; otherwise, Jiang's mother would have been in a real bind.
Although at first she disliked Gao Qinghe for being lazy, spending all her time at home eating and sleeping.
But there's one good thing about this: as long as he stays at home and doesn't have any casual relationships, she feels at ease.
After all, with such a stunning and beautiful face, she's bound to attract many suitors when she goes out.
The thought of her son being cuckolded sent a chill down Jiang's spine.
Seeing how happy Gao Qinghe was after receiving the call, Jiang's mother couldn't help but secretly probe her.
"I think it's a woman's voice. Is she your friend?"
"Where are you going tomorrow? I heard something about a fancy hotel? What are you going to do in this cold weather?"
"The first three months are the most crucial; you need to rest more."
Gao Qinghe raised her hand, interrupting her mother-in-law.
She tapped the telephone with her fingertip, "Lu Gaoming, the factory manager of the button factory, is a bit older than you. We are business partners. She is my older sister."
"She has a business meeting tomorrow, and the other party is from England. She doesn't have anyone with her who speaks English, so she wants me to go and help her out."
Jiang's mother was surprised: "You can speak English?"
Gao Qinghe smiled, "I know a little, I'm self-taught."
She went back to her room and changed into some warmer clothes. Jiang's mother was waiting outside the door. Seeing her come out, she asked again:
"You can negotiate business? And you can even negotiate with foreigners?"
Gao Qinghe walked into the kitchen, where a steamer of buns was being steamed on the stove. Jiang's mother had made them in the style of others; the shape was rough, but the taste was very fragrant.
Gao Qinghe took one for herself, took a bite while it was still piping hot, and gasped for breath from the heat.
Jiang's mother, as was her habit, opened the milk and handed it to her. Gao Qinghe drank the milk in one gulp, sat down at the small square table, and proudly raised her chin at her mother-in-law, who was full of curiosity, saying:
Do you know how I earned my first pot of gold?
Jiang's mother shook her head; how could she possibly know?
And when did this lazy daughter-in-law start earning money?
Oh, I remember now. She has a house in the county town and also built a new house for her hometown. She and her younger brother opened a clothing store together, and Xiaoyu said the business is quite good.
Seeing Gao Qinghe's gaze fall on her wrist, Jiang's mother lowered her head and tugged at her sleeve to cover the exposed sleeve of her inner garment.
I looked around awkwardly.
She was wearing a wool thermal top today, which Gao Qinghe had gotten from her brother's shop.
At that time, Jiang's mother said: No, no, take it back and give it to your mother-in-law to wear.
Gao Qinghe, of course, didn't listen to her; she threw the clothes on her bed in her room and left.
Jiang's mother didn't know what was wrong with her today, but she put it on.
It's surprisingly warm, and the quality feels good to the touch.
Gao Qinghe, afraid of being embarrassed, asked directly, "Is this thermal underwear comfortable? It's much more skin-friendly than your stiff gauze. Why wear something worse when you have something better? Why be so hard on yourself?"
She grabbed another steamed bun and said while munching on it, "Life is only a few short decades. You might get hit by a car and die one day while you're out the door, or suddenly die while you're working. If you don't enjoy life while you're alive, what's the point of this life?"
anyway.
Gao Qinghe continued to boast to her mother-in-law about her glorious deeds of going to the trade fair in the south and bringing customers to Lu Gaoming.
Gao Qinghe didn't need to exaggerate; she was simply recounting the facts. For Jiang's mother, who had never left the county town in her life, it was already shocking enough.
This incident had a significant impact on Jiang's mother.
The next day, Gao Qinghe tidied herself up and prepared to leave for the county town with her bag.
Jiang's mother, who had been suspicious of her yesterday, followed her to the door, hesitated for a long time, and then said:
"Don't drink."
Gao Qinghe couldn't help but smile and nodded, "I know."
Jiang's mother: "I'll have Xiao Hai pick you up tonight."
Gao Qinghe nodded again, waved, and got into the car that Lu Gaoming had called for her.
Qian Qiaolan poked her head out from the yard, "Xiao Hai's mother!"
Jiang's mother turned around and looked over. Qian Qiaolan pointed to the car that had driven away and asked excitedly:
"Where did Xiao Hai's wife go? Why is she drinking so late at night? Don't you even ask what she's doing?"
Seeing the confused look on Jiang's mother's face, Qian Qiaolan, afraid that she hadn't heard clearly, climbed down from the wall, ran around to the gate, and ran to Jiang's mother, lowering her voice to say:
"The city is a mess these days, with men and women all over the place. Your daughter-in-law is so beautiful, are you really comfortable letting her go out like that?"
Jiang's mother explained, "Xiao He went to discuss business, and Xiao Hai knew that too."
"Are you stupid?!" Qian Qiaolan glared at Jiang's mother, giving her an expression that said, "You're absolutely dumb."
"Your Xiaohai earns so much money, do you really need her to go out and negotiate business deals?"
"You don't actually believe she can make money, do you? What can people her age do?"
If Jiang's mother had heard these words a couple of days ago, she would have been very worried.
But now things are different; she heard her daughter-in-law recount her experience firsthand.
Jiang's mother said seriously, "Xiao He can speak foreign languages, so people ask her for help."
"I didn't realize this child was so capable." Jiang's mother seemed a little proud.
Qian Qiaolan choked back a sob.
She rattled off a bunch of reminders, but the other person didn't listen to a word and even started showing off in front of her?
"Fine, I was just being nosy. I shouldn't have bothered with your business. You'll regret it later!"
Qian Qiaolan stormed off in a huff.
Jiang's mother was completely confused. Why was he angry?
I never expected that they were just getting angry after their attempt to sow discord failed. (End of Chapter)
