AWB Chapter 336 Meeting Xie Meng'er
Chapter 336 Meeting Xie Meng'er
When Jiang Weinan returned to the room, he took off his coat and lay down on the bed.
"Gone?" Xie Jiaojiao asked him with her eyes closed.
Jiang Weinan hugged her and said, "Let's go."
They hugged each other like this and didn't get up until noon.
After lunch, Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan prepared to go to the He family to check the accounts of the past few days.
After all, the He family's business has been booming during this period. Although they lost some money at the beginning, there must be some profit.
When we arrived at the He family, the steward He came out to greet us.
"Master Jiang, Madam Jiang, the master and the old lady have been waiting for you for a long time."
Xie Jiaojiao took a look at the door of the He family. It was obvious that the door had been renovated and looked very grand.
Following Manager He inside, Xie Jiaojiao saw that the yard was different from before the flood. It had been renovated. Just by looking at this, one could tell that the He family had made a lot of money in these days.
When they arrived at the hall, Mr. He and He Zhongsheng were already waiting, and He Hu was sitting in the lower seat.
As soon as they saw them, they immediately stood up to greet them.
He Hu looked a little unnatural. After all, he had just gone to bother them in the morning and was "invited" out by Jiang Weinan.
"My dear nephew and daughter-in-law, you are finally here."
The two of them shouted respectfully, "Hello, Grandpa He, Uncle He."
After saying that, several people sat down.
He Jin waved his hand towards Manager He, who immediately held up the basic account book and said, "Dear daughter-in-law, this is the account book for the dock during this period. Please take a look."
Xie Jiaojiao was not pretentious. She took a few books from Manager He and began to look carefully at the accounts in the books.
And everyone was waiting for her.
I looked through several books and did some mental calculations on the accounts in these books, and basically found nothing wrong.
Xie Jiaojiao raised her head and said with a smile: “I never thought that the flood would be a good thing for the dock.”
Old Master He stroked his beard and said, "It can be considered as God's mercy. In fact, the best thing is the compensation that you mentioned at the beginning, niece-in-law. Although we compensated fewer merchants this time because we handled it in time, the name of Ping An Wharf was promoted because of this incident. My nephew was the first to send money after the flood. We compensated the merchants who suffered losses, and they promoted us well, which brought us a lot of business later."
He Zhongsheng also nodded.
Then Mr. He waved his hand again, and Steward He handed over another box. Xie Jiaojiao knew what was in the box without having to guess. She took it with a smile and raised it slightly: "Thank you, Grandpa He and Uncle He."
"Oh, no, this is what you deserve."
They smiled at each other, and He Jin said with a smile: "We can have a simple meal at home today. Knowing that you are coming, your grandmother He started preparing it after lunch."
The two looked at each other and stood up: "Then we'd better obey your command."
Seeing that they agreed, the two were much happier and discussed the next matters with Xie Jiaojiao in the afternoon.
Xie Jiaojiao said: "At the end of the year, our transportation business will definitely get better and better. I think we can launch a series of activities, not only to do business at the end of the year, but also to attract some business at the beginning of the year."
Old Master He and He Zhongsheng both nodded, and then began to discuss how this activity should be conducted.
Xie Jiaojiao would definitely not do anything to make herself earn less. She linked the transportation with her inn and restaurant and organized activities together. For example, if you book their transportation, as long as you stay at her inn along the way, she will provide breakfast. Or, if you book their transportation, you can also go to Xiangyuanlou to listen to opera for free.
To be honest, has anyone in the He family ever heard of such a sales promotion activity?
He forced Xie Jiaojiao and Jiang Weinan to explain in detail. Jiang Weinan didn't understand anything, so Xie Jiaojiao kept talking. She kept talking and asked Manager He to brew several pots of tea.
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, the two old men of the He family needed to digest it, and then said to He Hu: "You should learn more about these business knowledge in your daily life!"
He Hu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at him and felt unlucky! She felt bored sitting in the hall, so she thought about taking a walk in the yard. She drank so much water and wanted to go to the bathroom.
Xie Jiaojiao walked towards the toilet.
Suddenly I saw a familiar figure in the distance and frowned slightly, wondering why she was here?
Could it be that her mother was washing clothes at the He family?
Xie Meng'er walked straight towards Xie Jiaojiao. Xie Jiaojiao looked left and right to make sure that she was coming towards her. She wondered in her heart, under normal circumstances, shouldn't Xie Meng'er avoid her when she saw her?
As she approached, she said to the girl beside her, "Go get me a cloak."
The maid bowed slightly to Xie Jiaojiao, then left respectfully.
As soon as the maid left, Xie Meng'er knelt down in front of Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Aunt, I beg you not to tell the He family about my identity."
This action of hers frightened Xie Jiaojiao so much that she took two steps back. Then, seeing that she could actually order the maid of He family around, she immediately realized something was wrong. She lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Xie Meng'er who was kneeling on the ground, and an idea popped into her mind.
"Are you the one who saved He Hu's life?"
Xie Meng'er nodded, and Xie Jiaojiao felt that the world was so small!
"Where's your mother?"
"My mother died in this flood." When she said this, Xie Meng'er's eyes turned red and she burst into tears.
Xie Jiaojiao looked at her and thought that maybe the luxurious life she had been living in the past few months had made her look a little bit like a beautiful girl.
Xie Jiaojiao raised her head and slightly turned sideways.
"Get up, we have long been divorced, so you don't have to call me aunt. I also understand what you are thinking. I think you have known that we are acquainted with the He family, so you are waiting for me in this secluded place on purpose, right? But if passers-by see this, they will either think that I bullied you, or that there must be something going on between you and me."
Only then did Xie Meng'er stand up.
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at her. She hadn't looked at her carefully just now, but now looking at her clothes, although they looked simple, they were made of silk and satin. It seemed that the people in the He family were very nice to her.
Yes, the He family has been a single-line family for several generations. Saving He Hu is like saving the lives of the He family! So how can he not be good to her?
She didn't want to get involved in such things. After all, this person was left behind by the He family themselves, and she had already severed ties with Xie Zhishu's family, so Xie Meng'er was just a stranger to her.
If Li Yan'er was still there and He Hu favored Li Yan'er, she might say a few words because she wanted to help Li Yan'er, but now Li Yan'er has returned to the capital, and He Hu obviously favors Xie Meng'er, his savior, then she will definitely not cause trouble for herself. As long as what Xie Meng'er does does not harm her interests, she will naturally turn a blind eye!
