Chapter 615: How Does She Do Everything?
Chapter 615: How Does She Do Everything?
The vast expanse of the yellow earth made any approaching person stand out clearly.
Jiang Xia and her group approached.
The old man who had lost his wallet at the train station immediately recognized Jiang Xia and smiled warmly, "Xia Xia?"
Ceo He of the construction company also remembered Jiang Xia, as she was one of the company's shareholders. When Zhang Rong had introduced them, he had been impressed by the couple, and he smiled, "Xia Xia."
Jiang Xia walked forward with poise and smiled, "Old Master Mai, Ceo He, what a coincidence."
Several people turned to look at Jiang Xia.
She was incredibly beautiful, with a graceful demeanor, and both Old Master Mai and Ceo He knew her.
However, Old Master Mai and Ceo He had not met before today.
This led everyone to speculate about Jiang Xia’s identity.
The Ceos of the other two construction companies felt a sudden sense of unease.
The largest investor in this land development project was Old Master Mai from Harbor City.
Old Master Mai looked at He Jianxin, "Ceo He, do you know Xia Xia?"
He Jianxin smiled, "Xia Xia is one of our company's shareholders."
Seeing Old Master Mai's fondness for Jiang Xia, he felt that their company had a sixty percent chance of winning the project.
Initially, he had not been very confident, as two other companies were much more established.
Jiang Xia was truly their company's little good luck charm.
Ever since Jiang Xia bought shares from another shareholder, the company's business had surged, and most of the projects they pursued were successfully secured.
Meanwhile, the people from the other two companies felt a strong sense of crisis.
Sometimes, it wasn't about strength but about connections.
Tian Caifua was so surprised that his jaw almost dropped!
What?
Being a shareholder means what?
Like the shareholders in Hong Kong dramas?
When did Jiang Xia become a shareholder in Ceo He's company?
Aren't shareholders usually very wealthy?
Old Master Mai, assuming Jiang Xia was here for the project, smiled and asked, "What are you responsible for this time?"
The first time they met, she was selling fish at the train station. The second time, she was interpreting for several factories at the Spring Trade Fair. Now, she was a shareholder in a construction company. What else did this girl do?
How does she do everything?
Isn't she afraid of getting too tired?
Jiang Xia smiled, "I don't have the capability to be responsible for anything. I'm here to buy something and haggle."
"Haggle over what?"
Li Zhihua finally found an opportunity to speak, "Chairman Mai, Comrade Xia Xia and her younger brother are planning to buy stalls at the seafood market, and they're buying quite a few. I brought them here to ask Ceo Zheng for a discount."
Ceo Zheng was Li Zhihua's brother-in-law.
Ceo Zheng knew that the remaining stalls were not in the best locations, so giving a larger discount wouldn't be a problem. Even if he didn't, Chairman Mai, the largest shareholder, would speak up.
He directly offered the highest discount, "Let's give an 80% discount and round it off. That's about a 75% discount."
Li Zhihua was shocked. This was the same discount he had been given, making it two thousand per stall. He smiled, "Alright."
Chairman Mai didn't say anything. The shareholders had already discussed the prices for relatives and friends, and it was best not to break the rules.
If he wanted to help Jiang Xia, he could do so in other ways, not through these small favors.
Old Master Mai looked at the people with Jiang Xia.
He knew Jiang Xia had triplets and guessed that the people holding the children were her family members. He smiled, "Xia Xia, won't you introduce them to me?"
Ceo He also looked at Jiang Xia, waiting for her to introduce them.
"This is my father-in-law, mother-in-law, elder brother, elder sister-in-law, second brother..."
Jiang Xia smiled as she introduced her family to both men.
Old Master Mai and Ceo He shook hands with each of them, speaking warmly.
Sometimes, the more influential and respected a person is, the more humble and courteous they are.
After the introductions and a bit of small talk, the price for the stalls was agreed upon. Jiang Xia was about to leave, but Old Master Mai reached out to Zhou Fu, "Is this your elder brother? Comrade, can I hold him?"
Zhou Fu handed the children to him.
Old Master Mai took the elder brother, his eyes fixed on the sleeping child in his arms without blinking.
This child...
He then looked at the younger brother and the little sister.
They resembled each other!
All three children looked alike, but upon closer inspection, their differences became apparent.
Jiang Xia noticed Old Master Mai's hands trembling slightly and, fearing he might not hold the child securely, said, "Are they a bit heavy? Let me take them!"
Old Master Mai shook his head and held the elder brother tighter. "They’re not heavy. I just haven’t held the children in a long time, so I’m a bit excited."
Seeing that Old Master Mai's hands had stopped trembling, Jiang Xia relaxed but still kept a discreet eye on him.
After all, Old Master Mai was about the same age as her grandparents.
Holding the children, Old Master Mai addressed the people from the construction companies. "That's all for today! Please prepare your proposals and bring them to us next Friday for a unified meeting. Thank you all for your hard work today."
The people from the construction companies bid their farewells and left to work on their proposals.
Ceo He also left, smiling at Jiang Xia. "I’ll be going now. Come to my office for a cup of tea when you have time."
Jiang Xia nodded. "Sure, take care, Ceo He."
After the construction company people left, Ceo Zheng said, "Why don’t you come to my office for a while? We can sign the booth contracts there."
Old Master Mai didn’t have an office here; he only handled investments and didn’t participate much in management.
So, the group got back into their cars and headed to Ceo Zheng’s office.
Old Master Mai held the elder brother, and Jiang Xia sat in his car.
Before getting in, she asked Jiang Dong to check if Zhao Chenglei had returned from the seafood market.
Li Zhihua immediately said, "I’ll tell the staff to inform Comrade Zhou to come to my brother-in-law’s office when he gets back."
Jiang Xia thanked him and then saw a jeep approaching and stopping. Zhao Chenglei got out of the car, holding a hat, and walked over to Jiang Xia.
Old Master Mai chuckled. "Speak of the devil."
Zhao Chenglei greeted Old Master Mai, Ceo Zheng, and Li Zhihua, then turned to Jiang Xia. "Where are we going now?"
Old Master Mai said, "To Ceo Zheng’s office for a chat."
Jiang Xia added, "Jiang Dong and the second brother need to sign the booth contract. I’ll ride with Old Master Mai."
Zhao Chenglei nodded.
So, Jiang Xia got into Old Master Mai’s car.
In the car, Old Master Mai still held the elder brother. He said to Jiang Xia, "After the Spring Trade Fair ended, I wanted to visit you and Lei, but I had to return due to some company matters. This time, I planned to visit you, but it seems we’ve met here."
Jiang Xia smiled. "It’s fate!"
Old Master Mai nodded. "Indeed, it’s fate. How about lunch together?"
Jiang Xia replied, "My parents have already booked a table. If you don’t mind, why don’t you join us?"
Jiang Dong had mentioned that Jiang Father had reserved a private room at Fulumantower for lunch, where both families would dine together.
However, Old Master Mai was likely to have lunch with Ceo Zheng and the others, so he would probably decline.
Jiang Xia was prepared for him to refuse, and then she would invite him to lunch on the fifth. To her surprise, Old Master Mai agreed immediately, "Sure."
Jiang Xia: "..."
