After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

The father and son looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Occasionally, crows fly by.

"Gah~gah~gah~"

Jiang Wenqing tried to appear calm, but his smile looked worse than a grimace.

"Son, are you serious?"

"Yes, it's even more real than pearls."

Jiang Wenqing: I've seen plenty of pearls, but I haven't seen many homosexuals.

In particular, they rush to admit they are gay...

"Well, even though that's the case, it doesn't actually affect getting married, does it?"

At worst, I'll only marry one woman and have only one child?

We won't take a concubine, and we won't ask you to have two children in three years.

Jiang Wenqing decided to back down.

At least ensuring the continuation of the Chiang family line is sufficient.

Jiang Xiaoqi was somewhat surprised; he thought Jiang Wenqing would fly into a rage.

Surprisingly, after all these years, his adoptive father has actually made some progress.

At least I can control my emotions now, and I won't whimper or cry.

"I'm sorry, I probably can't do that."

Jiang Xiaoqi didn't want to lie; you can't lie forever.

"Oh dear, how are we going to explain this to your grandparents? The two old folks are nearing seventy; I'm afraid they won't be able to accept this blow."

Jiang Xiaoqi thought of her grandparents. Were the two old people still in relatively good health?

After all, I laid a good foundation in the past few years and took good care of my health.

However, given their age, it's uncertain whether they can accept it. Even if they don't die of anger, what if they get sick from it?

Jiang Xiaoqi hesitated for a moment.

For the first time, Jiang Wenqing felt that her son wasn't so easy to manage after all.

He never caused his family any worry about his career; on the contrary, he worried about his family members' careers.

But I never expected things to turn out this way regarding the marriage.

Jiang Wenqing was about to say something more when Jiang Xiaoqi interrupted him.

“Father, let me talk to Grandfather and Grandmother about this myself.”

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Then you should be more tactful. After all, people get older, and their ability to handle things isn't as strong as your father's anymore.

Jiang Xiaoqi nodded, "Yes, I will follow Father's teachings."

"Ahem, well, that's a good boy."

Jiang Wenqing felt a rare sense of satisfaction in his fatherly vanity, and left Jiang Xiaoqi's courtyard with a broad smile.

Anyone who didn't know better would think they'd found money on the street.

"Sir, is there some good news?"

Jiang Wenqing's current attendant is a young man, while the eldest and second eldest sons of the Wen family have been assigned to more important positions.

"Huh? No."

Jiang Wenqing touched his face. Was it really that obvious?

Besides, what's there to celebrate? Our family line is almost extinct!

Cough cough, that wasn't a smile, it was a bitter smile, yes, a bitter smile!

"No? Then I must have misread it."

"Hmm, you're so young, how come your eyesight is already so bad?"

After seeing off Jiang Wenqing, who was pressuring her to get married, Jiang Xiaoqi finally had time to pick up her overseas business plan again.

He decided to test the waters by opening a few Liuxiangge overseas flagship stores, with Japan being one of them.

Although that place was a bit poor and backward, even a small mosquito is still meat.

A poor place means that the gap between the rich and the poor is greater.

The fact that ordinary Japanese people are poor does not mean that the so-called nobles of Japan are also poor.

Their Liuxiang Pavilion makes money off the wealthy.

Jiang Xiaoqi put away the business plan and decided to discuss it with her "boss".

"Your Majesty, please take a look at this."

Chen Lin took the overseas business plan and handed it to Emperor Zhao Hongchang.

“Brilliant! The silver mine will eventually run out, but this business will continue to bring profits to the Great Zhou.”

"Sir, this plan is very feasible!"

"Since His Majesty also approves of this business plan, then when Lin Feng and his team set sail again, we should arrange for store managers and staff to be stationed at the overseas flagship stores."

I've attached all the salary and benefits details to the plan; Your Majesty, please take a look and see if there's anything that needs to be added.

The emperor turned to the last page, and sure enough, it contained a detailed list of job responsibilities and salary packages for different positions.

He is now very familiar with this grid-like table; it is very clear and easy to understand.

All the data is listed together, row by row and column by column, which is very intuitive.

"Sir, your list is detailed and thoughtful. However, in addition to allowing these people to bring their families, should we also provide them with a settlement allowance?"

After all, having been wandering far from home, he wouldn't be able to return to the Great Zhou for several years.

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. We will follow Your Majesty's advice and add a settlement allowance."

In fact, how could Jiang Xiaoqi, with her meticulous nature, forget such a small matter as the resettlement allowance?

However, when reporting to a "leader," how can you not leave the "leader" any room for conversation?

This demonstrates the leader's foresight, the leader's powerful role, and the leader's intelligence and wisdom.

In short, the workplace isn't about fighting and killing; it's all about interpersonal relationships and social dynamics.

Not giving your boss a chance to make corrections once or twice is fine, but if it goes on for a long time, your boss will inevitably become unhappy.

If you can do it all, then go ahead and do it! What's there to report? No need to report!

See, all of the above was just said in anger, don't take it seriously.

Jiang Xiaoqi knew that his emperor was not petty, but he did this harmless little thing as soon as possible.

After all, as His Majesty's regime becomes more stable, his personality may well remain the same as it was in his youth, and he may never change.

One cannot become arrogant just because of seniority and the merit of following the emperor.

Being careful with your words and actions will never lead to a mistake.

Chen Lin was also extremely intelligent. He hadn't read the business plan, but he had glanced at the salary and benefits.

That's quite generous.

Even without a resettlement allowance, many people would still flock there, willing to travel across the ocean to make money.

However, he should learn from Jiang Shaoqing how to write something down but deliberately leave a loose end.

After all, he was a eunuch, and he was more sensitive in many things.

He didn't want to be like some industry veterans, perceived as having overshadowed their superiors or harboring ill intentions.

In the end, he met a tragic end, his head separated from his body.
