Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 139: I came here smelling the money

uninvited guest?
The old lady's words made Jiang Beicheng think of his ex-girlfriends who came to collect debts of love.

When I walked into the living room and saw a familiar figure, I understood why the old lady was so unwelcome to today's guest.

Jiangzhou.

Jiangbeicheng's cousin, uncle's son.

He used to work in foreign trade with his father Jiang Tao. After seeing the huge profits, he bypassed the company and traded with customers privately.

It's like stabbing the Jiang family in the back.

Jiang Tao did not sue him out of consideration for their relationship and just wanted to recover the losses as a gift to his uncle's family.

But their family is not a good family. After Jiang Tao got into trouble, not only did they act sarcastic in the family group, they also spread some unfounded rumors, causing Jiang Tao and Jiang Beicheng, father and son, to lose face in the entire family.

They completely disregarded the kindness Jiang Tao had shown them in the past, and instead felt that they had been greatly wronged. They followed the outside world's criticisms to damage the reputation of Jiang Beicheng's family.

Jiang Beicheng had already left the group.

After that, he deeply realized the truth of an old saying.

I am afraid that my relatives will suffer, and I am also afraid that they will drive a Land Rover.

There is some truth to the joke.

At least he felt it.

During that time, I felt like the old lady and I had been expelled from the Jiang family.

Few people came to greet or visit me.

Jiang Beicheng didn't expect that Jiang Zhou would come to his home today.

I guess he's not holding back anything good.

Now, he will not lower his status in front of these relatives. On the contrary, he has to uphold the identity of "General Jiang".

"Brother, long time no see." Jiang Zhou showed enthusiasm, stood up and walked over to shake hands with Jiang Beicheng, "Sorry, I've been out working on a project.

I didn’t even have time to attend your restaurant’s opening.”

Hypocritical.

Jiang Beicheng wanted to laugh.

On the day the restaurant opened, there were not many relatives coming to congratulate us.

I guess they think you are squandering Jiang Tao's inheritance just like those old guys in the catering association before, and that the business will close down soon.

Unexpectedly, Beicheng Hotel has become successful and has earned the reputation of being the ceiling of local catering.

Jiang Beicheng did not mock or ridicule his cousin, as that would be a sign of immaturity.

He maintained Mr. Jiang's posture and extended his hand, saying, "Sit."

"Okay." Jiangzhou said with a smile.

It is obvious that his speech and behavior are different from before.

He exudes a leadership aura.

Shen Jun made tea and poured it for the two of them.

Jiang Beicheng stretched out his hand, indicating a request.

Jiangzhou smiled and nodded, reaching out to pick up the teacup, but was accidentally scalded by the tea, causing the cup to shake.

The little old lady suddenly said, "Be careful."

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiangzhou waved and smiled, thinking that the old lady was concerned about him.

The old lady said, "Don't worry, a cup costs 100,000 yuan."

Jiangzhou's gaze froze instantly.

Jiang Beicheng smiled in his heart. The old lady still holds a grudge and has a bit of a dark heart.

"It's okay. If it's broken, just ask the kiln in Jingdezhen to make a new set." Jiang Beicheng said indifferently, but still called out, "Brother, this is Niulankeng cinnamon from Zuimoyan. A tea friend gave it to me. Try it."

Jiangzhou smiled and nodded.

Instead, I didn't dare to touch the cup.

A hundred thousand cups, scarce tea, and nothing else, the quality of life of Jiang Beicheng and the old lady has not decreased at all.

Maybe the only thing that’s a little worse is the house we live in.

I used to live in a mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars on Peninsula One.

But then again, the large flats at this location on Park Avenue are also worth several million or even tens of millions. The difference is only compared to the Jiang family in the past, and is not worse than their relatives.

What's more, Jiangbei City is now planning to build a manor with a budget of 1.8 small goals.

Compared to his father's consumption, Jiangbeicheng even exceeded it.

Although he didn't know how this cousin had risen to prominence in the past few months, the 1.8 million yuan project must be real. After all, it was an open tender and the process was legal and compliant. He came here today for this matter.

Seeing that Jiangzhou didn't touch his cup, Jiang Beicheng smiled and asked, "Where have you made your fortune recently, brother?"

Jiangzhou: “It’s still the same as always, we follow the project on the construction site.

Forget about getting rich, just be thankful if you can have enough food and clothing."

The infrastructure projects in the past two years have been difficult.

Many central state-owned enterprises have no projects to work on and have started investing in agriculture and farming.

Jiangzhou suddenly visited today and behaved very politely and respectfully. Jiang Beicheng guessed that he might have set his sights on his 1.8 million project.

Just ask: "Which construction company?"

Jiangzhou: "Huanyu."

Hearing this name, Shen Jun was stunned for a moment and nodded to Jiang Beicheng.

Jiang Beicheng understood what she meant. Huanyu was also one of the construction companies bidding this time.

Jiang Beicheng joked, "Huanyu is a long-established construction company with a very high reputation locally. I think I should be a mid-level manager now, right?"

Jiang Zhou laughed awkwardly and said, "Brother, you're joking. I'm just a small project manager.

But the higher-ups promised that if I win the project I'm bidding on now, they'll promote me up a level."

Jiang Beicheng pretended not to know, "What project?"

Jiangzhou hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said flatteringly, "It's about the manor project, brother.

Huanyu is also a bidder.

The reason I came here today is to hear your opinion, brother."

Jiang Beicheng smiled and said, "When talking about work, you have to change your stance."

Jiangzhou understood Jiang Beicheng's words in an instant and called out, "Boss Jiang, please think carefully about it. We sincerely want to cooperate with you.

Complete this project with guaranteed quality and quantity.”

When the old lady heard Jiangzhou calling "Mr. Jiang", she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

If I had known this earlier, why did I do it in the first place?

However, she did not disrupt the conversation between her grandson and Jiangzhou because of her personal emotions.

Jiang Beicheng's words were very meaningful. "The bidding will be opened on Friday. You came to see me and talk about this now. Do you want me to open a backdoor for you?"

Jiang Zhou immediately put on a begging attitude, "If it's convenient for Mr. Jiang, that would be even better.

I will remember your favor and will always be at your service if I need anything in the future."

Jiang Beicheng really wanted to say that if you remembered our family’s kindness, you would not stab our family in the back.

Now they come here just because they smell the benefits and money, begging for help humbly.

"I trust Huanyu's strength. Let me think about it." Jiang Beicheng said practically.

Now only he and the bid evaluation experts have the ability to change the final bidding results.

Jiangzhou thought Jiangbeicheng agreed and saw hope.

He said excitedly, "Thank you so much, President Jiang. I will remember the help you gave me today for the rest of my life."

Jiang Beicheng smiled faintly and said, "Is there anything else?"

Jiang Zhou invited enthusiastically, "Mr. Jiang, are you free? Let's have a drink together tonight. It's been a long time since we last had a drink together."

Jiang Beicheng: "Forget about eating. I just came back from abroad and want to rest."

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, let's make an appointment next time. I won't disturb your rest." Jiang Zhou said goodbye. "If you need me in the future, just ask, Mr. Jiang."

When leaving, he smiled at the old lady.

The old lady didn't like Jiangzhou very much. She said to Jiangbeicheng, "Did you promise to give him the project?"

Jiang Beicheng shook his head: "Since Huanyu sent him to ask me for a backdoor, it means they know they have no advantage in the quotation.

In order to win this project, they will definitely resort to tricks.

My answer just now gave Jiangzhou hope. They must have other actions to ensure that everything is safe. "

Shen Jun reacted instantly: "Bribing the bid evaluation experts?"

Jiang Beicheng nodded.

This kind of thing is all too common.

Jiangzhou will definitely use his ambiguous attitude to convince the experts of the bid evaluation committee, and of course, all the necessary gifts must be prepared.

What Jiangbei City has to do is wipe it out in one fell swoop.
