An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Rose scoffed, "Jiang, you're being so petty!"

He then tried to grab the bottle again.

Jiang Baobin had no choice but to fill both cups to the brim.

At the same time, he quickly added, "Boss, I might have to go on a business trip in a day or two, which will take about 10 days."

I dared not let her speak again, or she would surely shout "Cheers!"

Rose's attention was indeed diverted: "Where are you going?"

"First Tianjin, then Qingdao and Shanghai. I'll try to bring two clients over to compete with Weinberger..."

That's right, Jiang Baobin has made up his mind—Damn it!

How can I get rewards if I don't complete the tasks given by the system? How can I improve my abilities if I don't get rewards?

He would rather develop in a sneaky and underhanded manner, but unfortunately there are always treacherous subjects who want to harm him!

That's why Jiang Baobin used the excuse of a business trip to cover for himself.

There's nothing we can do; circumstances dictate our actions.

It makes me so angry! Damn it! They're really not treating me, a time traveler, like a pushover!

A nobody, a mere branch chief, dares to shit on my neck!

I'll rise up! I'll make you regret this!

If you want to rise to prominence, the first thing you need to do is strengthen your own capabilities.

After much thought, Jiang Baobin realized that other methods were too slow, so he had to find a way to improve his chances of success.

It's illogical that previous time travelers could use it to dominate everything, but when it's your turn, you'll only end up getting tricked.

So, let's give it our all!

Men should strive for self-improvement! Only by fighting can one win!

Rose nodded frequently as Jiang Baobin recounted the things he needed to do after his business trip.

Then, with a grin, he asked, "Jiang, why do I feel like you're even more eager to sell the company than I am?"

"Do you want me to return to America as soon as possible, or are you truly an incredibly dedicated and excellent employee?"

Jiang Baobin grinned, thinking to himself: Can I say that I just want to finish the mission as soon as possible?

Of course, a little money can be a big motivator.

Rose, her eyes glazed with drunkenness, suddenly gave Jiang Baobin a knowing smile.

Then, quite boldly, he extended his right index finger and gently slid it across the back of Jiang Baobin's hand holding the wine glass:

"I don't think you're completely uninterested in me, are you?"

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have come up with such a lame excuse to move into my house, right, Jiang?"

Holy crap! Was I just flirted with? These foreign women are really something else!

No subtlety whatsoever, just going straight for the point!

Just as Jiang Baobin was still struggling with how to answer,

Rose's expression suddenly darkened, and she withdrew her hand.

He shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that."

"I'm drunk, and I'm a little... a little out of control."

"You know, I'm a heartbroken, lonely woman."

"I don't know anything!" Jiang Baobin rolled his eyes. This guy flirted and ran away; he's a true master!

Rose, lost in her own world, gave a silly smile:

"You know, I've been doing terribly lately, yes, absolutely terribly!"

"After Carl's car accident, I had to shoulder everything on my own, but..."

"But when I opened his safe, I saw his collection and notebooks."

Rose made a face of extreme disgust.

"Can you believe it? He actually cheated on his wife with dozens of women! My God!"

"Behind my back, he slept with almost every woman I knew."

"What's most disgusting is that he had affairs with both my friend and my friend's mother."

"But I knew nothing about it, and even warmly entertained them at home."

"I...I'm so stupid..."

Rose poured out her bitterness and anger while wiping away the tears that kept flowing.

The image of Smith with a small mustache came to Jiang Baobin's mind.

I have to say, he is indeed quite handsome, but his character is truly despicable; he is a complete hypocrite!

Well, that's just how foreigners are.

After spending more time with these guys, you'll know what kind of people they are—they're just a bunch of hormone-fueled animals.

Americans are considered one of the more conservative groups, while French women flirt with others in front of their partners.

The bizarre man actually thought it was because his wife was attractive.

Then there's John Bull, who outwardly acts like a gentleman and aloof, but whose private life is just as messy.

Anyone with a bit of status rarely doesn't have a lover.

Those club parties and dances were their love affairs.

In short—foreigners really know how to have fun...

Jiang Baobin emerged from the main building with slightly mixed feelings.

"You're such a good person. I really don't know what I would do without your help in handling company matters..."

These are the words Rose said to him.

What can Jiang Baobin do if he doesn't leave after being friend-zoned?

Jiang Baobin did not deliberately conceal his departure from Beiping.

No one knows exactly where it's going; all that's known is that it's related to the company's sale.

He wanted to use Lyman to show Weinberger, to make him nervous and thus throw him off balance.

As it turned out, this tactic worked.

When Jiang Baobin called from Tianjin to let them know he was safe.

Rose happily told him that Weinberg had raised his offer by five thousand dollars.

Rose was overjoyed by this small victory.

But Jiang Baobin just pursed his lips; the real show was yet to come…

At that time, the industrial center of North China was Tianjin, not Beiping, which was determined by geographical location.

After meeting with several local big capitalists, Jiang Baobin felt there was no future in this place, so he simply focused on completing his own mission.

The most bustling place in Tianjin is none other than "Quanyechang".

Because it was his first time causing trouble, Jiang Baobin, extremely nervous, chose to proceed with caution.

I went to scout the place the day before and found that the security here was more lax than I had imagined.

He had originally thought there would be spies everywhere, with vigilant eyes everywhere, but in fact, that was not the case at all.

The next day, he was extremely careful and checked it again.

He's a complete idiot. As the person involved, frequently appearing in the same place is absolutely a big no-no.

But he really didn't know that ignorance is bliss!

Soon after, a "Letter to the People Regarding the Gold Yuan Fraud" spread throughout Binjiang Road, where Quanye Department Store was located.

Out of fear and nervousness, Jiang Baobin didn't even dare to hold the bag containing the order slips in his hand, but simply dropped it on the spot.

As he came out of the Quanyechang shopping mall, he saw a citizen bend down to pick up a "notification" and hurriedly leave after putting it in his pocket.

And police officers running around blowing whistles.

The guy let out a relieved smile—this vote was a success!

Three days later, on Sifang Road in Qingdao.

Jiang Baobin followed the same method.

This time he was much calmer, whereas his hands and feet were trembling when he was at the Quanyechang.

Fortunately, no one stopped him from questioning him, otherwise he would have been exposed.

After finishing his business in Qingdao, he immediately boarded a plane to Shanghai.

That evening, a similar scene unfolded on Nanjing Road...
