Chapter 161 Family Man
Xie Jiaojiao saw that there were still quite a lot of diners in the restaurant.
"Is Shopkeeper Chen busy recently?"
When Shopkeeper Chen heard her ask this, he immediately felt ashamed and said, "Thanks to Madam Young, business is still good."
Jiang Weinan rolled his eyes: "What are you standing here for? Go sit upstairs."
He went upstairs first. It was very hot and it was cooler upstairs.
He went up, but Xie Jiaojiao didn't.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at Shopkeeper Chen: "What do you think of what I talked to Shopkeeper Chen about last time?"
When talking about this, Shopkeeper Chen felt a little embarrassed.
"Young Madam, I used to work under you, but so many years have passed. Even if I go back, I'm afraid there won't be a place for me anymore!"
After Xie Jiaojiao heard what he said, she smiled and said, "Since I invited you back, how can I let you return to your previous position?"
"What do you mean, young lady?"
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "I can't tell you now. Shopkeeper Chen, please think about it again."
Shopkeeper Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, then made a gesture to invite her to go upstairs.
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at the stairs and said to him, "I won't go up. If he asks later, you can say that I went to the Jiang Mansion to see Manager Wang."
After saying that, she turned and left the restaurant.
Shopkeeper Chen glanced around, feeling a little amused and helpless. This young lady never did things according to common sense. He was afraid that the young master would be angry again soon!
Someone was calling from the guest table over there, and Shopkeeper Chen responded hurriedly and went to greet the guests.
Xie Jiaojiao went straight to the Jiang Mansion, where Steward Wang was already waiting for her.
When they arrived at the main hall, Steward Wang stood respectfully beside her.
Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Uncle Wang, please sit down."
Steward Wang shook his head: "Young Madam, this is the rule."
"Rules are made by people. I told you to sit down, so you sit down! You have been working hard for Jiang Weinan and the Jiang family for half your life, so you have made contributions! Besides, it is not easy for us to talk to you if you stand like this."
When Steward Wang heard this, he smiled and said, "This is what I should do."
But in the end, he sat down.
Then he said, "I have already done what you asked me to do when I went to your house last time. I have also chosen the address. If Madam is free that day, I will take you to the county town to have a look?"
Xie Jiaojiao waved her hand: "I'm sure you can do it. I told you last time, where are the blueprints of the house?"
Steward Wang took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to her.
Xie Jiaojiao took a look and nodded: "After I finish the design in two days, we will go to the store together to have a look."
"I wonder what kind of business the young lady wants me to do by buying this shop?"
"Food-related."
When Steward Wang heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Young Madam, the food business in this county is probably saturated, and we have several restaurants in the county."
Xie Jiaojiao smiled slightly: "What I do is a little different from the usual ones. You will know the details when the time comes."
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she took out an account book from her sleeve and said, "I found some problems with many of the stores in this account book."
Steward Wang quickly took it over: "Are there any problems?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded. Manager Wang flipped through a few pages and immediately became furious: "Young Madam, all the shops listed in this account book are managed by Li Qiuhe's younger brother!"
"Li Qiuhe? Who is she? Who is her brother?"
Steward Wang stood up and answered Xie Jiaojiao respectfully, "Li Qiuhe is the young master's current, nominal mother."
Now it was Xie Jiaojiao's turn to be puzzled.
"Then why would her brother be in charge of Jiang Weinan's biological mother's dowry shop?"
When this was mentioned, Steward Wang sighed slightly: "It's a long story..."
"In that case, let's make it short."
……
After Xie Jiaojiao finished listening, she looked as if she understood.
It turns out that Li Qiuhe's younger brother Li Fangbo was a manager working under Jiang Weinan's mother Jiang Li.
Li Qiuhe is Jiang Li's personal maid. In the final analysis, these two were people that Jiang Li trusted very much in the past.
Originally, after Jiang Li passed away, these shops were to be taken back, but with Jiang Huaian acting as the middleman, the shops in the hands of Li Qiu and his brother have never been taken back. However, every year, the money that should be paid is still paid, but it is less and less every year...
Xie Jiaojiao almost understood and stood up: "Uncle Wang, when you are free one day, please take Jiang Weinan and me to meet Li Qiuhe's brother."
Manager Wang agreed immediately.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Jiaojiao got up and prepared to go back.
Steward Wang called her over and said, "You and the young master are not eating at home? I asked the kitchen to prepare it."
Xie Jiaojiao shook her head: "There are still many things to do at home. I will come back another day and have dinner at home."
Seeing that what she said was true, Manager Wang did not keep the person. Just as he sent the person to the door, he saw his young master coming towards him angrily.
Jiang Weinan clenched his fists and said to Xie Jiaojiao aggrievedly: "Why didn't you call me when you left?"
Seeing that he was a little angry, Xie Jiaojiao said gently, "I see that the weather is hot, so you can stay in the restaurant to cool down."
Jiang Weinan was so angry that he sat down on the steps at the door: "You just think I'm troublesome."
Manager Wang pouted: Young Master is quite self-aware.
Xie Jiaojiao walked up to him and nudged him with her calf: "Are you really angry?"
Jiang Weinan turned his head away and snorted.
Xie Jiaojiao squatted down: "I'm really talking to Manager Wang about serious matters! Manager Wang even invited me to have dinner, but I thought you were in the restaurant and couldn't let you wait, so I just refused, right, Manager Wang!"
Steward Wang hurriedly said yes.
Jiang Weinan then pouted and turned back to look at her: "Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
"Then don't do this again next time."
"Don't worry, there won't be a next time."
After she said this, Jiang Weinan smiled, patted his butt and stood up.
Xie Jiaojiao also stood up, turned around and said to Manager Wang: "Uncle Wang, we are leaving now. We will come to see you in two days."
Steward Wang smiled and nodded.
Looking at the two of them walking and playing, the wrinkles on their faces were squeezed together.
"The young lady is always good to the young master."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Lai Fu had also bought a ox cart and was waiting for them at the town entrance.
The two men passed through the town and happened to run into He Hu and Zhang Fei.
He Hu rushed up and put his arms around Jiang Weinan's neck, gritting his teeth and saying, "You are such a good fellow, Jiang Weinan, you have a wife and you forget about your brothers! Tell me, how long has it been since we brothers last saw each other?"
Zhang Fei also hit Jiang Weinan on the chest with his fan: "That's right! I sent someone to bring you a message, but you didn't even reply."
Jiang Weinan hurriedly shook off the two of them, saying rudely, "Pay attention, I have a family now, how can I be the same as before?"
The two rolled their eyes at him.
Then he turned around and looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "Is it because you are so strict with him that he doesn't dare to come out?"
Xie Jiaojiao shrugged: "I didn't, don't accuse me."
Then he said to Jiang Weinan: "Then I will go back first, you play with them."
As Xie Jiaojiao spoke, she headed towards the town entrance.
As soon as Xie Jiaojiao left, He Hu and Zhang Fei immediately surrounded Jiang Weinan.
He Hu said, "Recently, there is a girl singing in Yihonglou. Her voice is like a parrot. Let's go and listen to her."
Zhang Fei agreed.
Jiang Weinan simply shook them off.
"You guys go ahead, I have to go accompany my wife!"
As he spoke, he started chasing after Xie Jiaojiao.
He Hu and Zhang Fei rolled their eyes at the back, "Well, this brat, now that he has a wife, he's not interested in anything else except his wife."
……
Jiang Weinan caught up with Xie Jiaojiao.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at it and was a little surprised: "You're not accompanying them?"
Jiang Weinan opened his folding fan and fanned her with a proud look: "I have a wife, so if I have the time, can't I spend more time with you?"
Xie Jiaojiao couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth. Although she didn't say it, she was happy in her heart.
