Mrs. Pei looked at Mr. Pei's happy expression with a smile, and couldn't help but pursed her lips and said:
"It's hard for Ayi to still be concerned about his grandfather's health, and it's hard for you to take the trouble to find such a pot."
"It's a good pot!" While Mr. Pei was playing with the pot, he heard what Mrs. Pei said and came over to interject.
It is indeed a good pot. Such pots are usually in the hands of collectors, who will keep them for many years and will not easily give them up. Jiang Se was able to buy it, and money was secondary. But it can be seen that she put in a lot of effort and care to make her love this product.
Old Master Pei took the pot and played with it so much that he couldn't let it go. He even asked several of his sons to join him in enjoying it.
Pei Yi's mother asked about Jiang Se's work abroad. After a while, she asked casually:
"When you returned home a few days ago, did anyone give you a hard time at the airport?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Pei said nothing. Mrs. Pei looked at Jiang Se, and Jiang Se said:
"It's not difficult, it's just that the philosophy is different."
She did not take the opportunity to complain and ask the Pei family to help her, especially when she gave a large number of gifts as soon as she came to the Pei family, and they were all particularly to everyone's liking. Such a temperament made Mrs. Pei's eyes softer.
Pei Yi is her only son. Since he was born, he has been held in the palm of her hand, in her mouth, and treated like the apple of her eye.
When he was young, he was infatuated with Feng Nan. One of them was too precocious, and the other was ignorant. In fact, she was quite worried about her son.
Pei Yi was a stubborn person. He devoted all his attention to Feng Nan at the beginning. Mrs. Pei felt sorry for him for a long time because of the age difference between them. Feng Nan always treated him as his younger brother at that time.
I thought this childhood sweetheart relationship would drag on and no one knew what the outcome would be, but Pei Yi suddenly stopped and started pursuing Jiang Se instead.
As I kept chasing after him, I became serious about it.
At the beginning, Mrs. Pei was somewhat resistant to Jiang Se. She did not come from a good family, had entered the entertainment industry, and was too beautiful. She was afraid that she was with Pei Yi just for fame and fortune.
Personally, she actually prefers Feng Nan's personality, who is quiet, well-educated, gentle, graceful, well-educated, and well-progressive.
But when Pei Yi brought Jiang Se home for the first time, Mrs. Pei noticed that Jiang Se was different from what she had imagined.
Before she came to the Pei family, she should have had an idea of Pei Yi's family background, but after she arrived, she did not show any particular enthusiasm. Compared with Feng Nan who came to the Pei family and talked a lot that time, her behavior was not only not inferior, but her performance also attracted the attention of Mrs. Pei.
The Pei family hates nothing more than family members being too ostentatious. In the following years, during her relationship with Pei Yi, even though she was in the entertainment industry and her every move was under media scrutiny, she never leaked her relationship with Pei Yi.
Such behavior, whether she restrained it intentionally or not, won the favor of the Pei family.
In addition, she had a good image in the circle, was well-known among the audience, and had few scandals. Whether before or after becoming famous, her life was monotonous and she had not done anything inappropriate. This further increased the Pei family's impression of her, so when Pei Yi was about to propose to her later, the Pei family acquiesced.
It is a virtue to be unaware of your own beauty and excellence and to remain humble and low-key.
However, she understands her own advantages, is fully aware of her own beauty and strengths, and still maintains a humble and low-key character. In Mrs. Pei's opinion, she is far superior to the former.
In recent years, she has attracted a lot of attention because of her endorsement of ELYSEES. Many people have scolded her and believed that she cannot support an ancient aristocratic car brand like ELYSEES. There have also been many voices of doubt. It is really rare that she can remain calm and not be anxious or annoyed in such a storm.
Mrs. Pei had also heard about the boycott of some so-called socialites and noble ladies in China. Before Jiang Se finished her work and flew back to China, she met Mrs. Zhou and was discriminated against and bullied by her. At this time, she and Pei Yi had already met their parents and were engaged, but she did not move out of the Pei family and kept a low profile, which made Mrs. Pei like her even more.
When Jiang Se mentioned Mrs. Zhou at this moment, his tone was calm and he brushed aside the small conflict in a few words. In Mrs. Pei's opinion, this kind of character was far better than Mrs. Zhou.
I don’t know how the Du family could raise such an outstanding child in such an environment. No wonder her son Ayi fell in love with her and didn’t let her go when he saw her.
Compared with the children from other families, Pei Yi is really very discerning.
"you're right."
Mrs. Pei reached out and lifted Jiang Se's long hair, tucked it behind her ear, and looked at her gently:
"Don't bother with her. Even if you win the argument, you won't gain anything. Instead, it will lower your status."
Jiang Se responded, and she smiled again:
"We don't want to argue with her, we just think it's unnecessary. But your grandfather is the most protective of his people, and since she has committed the crime, we can't just swallow this anger."
In the past, what Mrs. Zhou and other "ladies of high rank" said was just a petty quarrel of the "younger generation" in Mrs. Pei's eyes and she didn't take it seriously.
But if Mrs. Zhou goes too far, she would be bullying the child who has no parents.
Jiang Se was a little surprised. The 'grandfather' that Mrs. Pei mentioned must not be Feng Zhongliang, but Old Master Pei. She was a little puzzled. Why did she need Old Master Pei to help with such a small matter
"Did Grandpa do anything?"
"Your grandfather said that if there are conflicts between children, they should deal with it on their own and adults should not interfere. If adults interfere, it would be a violation of the rules!"
Mrs. Pei smiled and said:
"It's just like when we were little, when Ayi and Runing and the others were fighting, and the adults wanted to intervene, but your grandfather wouldn't allow it, saying, 'Whoever dares to fight, he will fight too.'"
Jiang Se couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
Pei Yi has been practicing fighting since he was a child and has excellent physical fitness. Nie Dan and his companions are no match for him at all and are almost defeated one-sidedly.
A few childhood friends had conflicts and fought. Nie Dan and Cheng Runing cried loudly every time they were beaten. It was probably because their parents felt sorry for them that they wanted to pull the children apart.
If Mr. Pei stopped it, it would be clear that he was cheating and intentionally letting his grandson "bully others".
Given his status, if he says, "Let the children solve their own problems," who would dare to say no
Probably because they were beaten too much when they were young, the brothers were afraid of Pei Yi when they grew up. They followed his lead and even took the lead in causing trouble.
She couldn't help laughing, and Mrs. Pei also laughed as she recalled her childhood memories, and then talked about the Zhou family:
"So your grandfather found something for the Zhou family to do so that the adults wouldn't be idle."
Jiang Se really didn't expect that Mr. Pei would do this. She used to see Pei Yi always being protected by the elders, but now she didn't expect that she would also be protected by Mr. Pei. She couldn't help but lean on Mrs. Pei's shoulder:
"Grandpa is so good to me." Her closeness made Old Lady Pei very happy. She took her hand and said affectionately:
"My Ah Yi only likes you. If we don't treat you well, who else can we treat well?"
Jiang Se knew it clearly, and asked what Mr. Pei had done. Mrs. Pei said:
"The Zhou family is in the real estate business, and in recent years their business focus has been mainly on Nandong Province."
In recent years, Jingtai Group has been engaged in real estate business, and its business has been booming. In the past few years, Zhou Wei has been flexible in thinking and well-informed. After getting in touch with the upper echelons and learning that the main development direction of the future political situation is aimed at Nandong Province, he set the focus of Jingtai Real Estate there.
In recent years, with the improvement of the economy in the south and east, the price of Jingtai housing has skyrocketed, which is also the most important factor that has contributed to the rise in Jingtai’s stock price and Zhou Wei’s high net worth.
It is quite difficult for others to stop Jingtai's development. After all, Jingtai has been in Nandong for a long time and has a solid foundation. In recent years, it has developed into a first-tier brand in the real estate industry in China, with a very good reputation and fame.
But for the Pei family, it was very simple, especially when Grandpa Pei took action personally.
He simply instructed the government of South East Province to release a batch of land and achieved several goals at one stroke.
Jingtai has always been the leader in real estate in Nandong Province, occupying most of the market. In simple terms, Zhou Wei eats the meat and others drink the soup.
The government held on to the land very tightly, and the little surplus land was pocketed by Jingtai. This also caused a shortage of housing and soaring housing prices, reaching the point where it was difficult to find a house.
Zhou Wei has been doing well in business in recent years, making headlines in the business section and becoming an elite figure in the real estate industry.
But Mr. Pei's actions clearly have the tendency to break his monopoly.
Once the government releases the land, real estate developers who want to enter Nandong will seize the opportunity and buy the land, which will disrupt Jingtai's pattern in Nandong.
On the one hand, it can improve the suffering of local people caused by extremely high housing prices. On the other hand, it can also undermine the monopoly of Jingtai. At the same time, it can solve the difficulties of many people who cannot buy houses, push down housing prices, and benefit people's livelihood.
The only one who might be a headache is Zhou Wei of Jingtai Group, but who can blame him for having so much free time? Find something for him to do, and when there are too many troubles, his wife and daughter will not have the energy to keep an eye on the affairs of the "younger generations" all day long.
The older you get, the wiser you are. Mr. Pei's behavior is much more satisfying than Jiang Sezhen's fight with Mrs. Zhou.
"The main thing is that people become arrogant when they are successful and forget about the times when they were not so successful."
Old Mrs. Pei patted Jiang Se's hand and didn't mention the Zhou family's affairs anymore.
After officially adding Jiang Se as the spokesperson, ELYSEES' official website has also set the official release date of Leopard as February 11 next year, which is exactly two days before the Spring Festival according to Chinese time.
At the same time, ELYSEES plans to hold a press conference on December 25th, when the official website and major channels will officially release the advertisement shot by Jiang Se for Leopard. At the same time, the Leopard driven by Jiang Se on the day of the advertisement will also appear on site, accepting reservations from Chinese customers.
The venue is set at the Pearl Convention and Exhibition Center in front of China Times Square, and tickets will be released later.
As the news spread, almost all of ELYSEES’ official website and social media account message boards were flooded with comments from netizens.
This ELYSEES sports car became quite famous in China because of the dispute between Tao Cen and Jiang Se over the endorsement. Later, Mrs. Zhou and others made comments on the matter. The Leopard series became very popular even before it was sold.
Many people are speculating on what kind of car it is that would make ELYSEES pay tens of millions for endorsement fees, and would rather offend Tao Cen and Tao Cen's fans, and despite the threat of "boycott" from Mrs. Zhou and others, insist on using Jiang Se to endorse it.
However, ELYSEES' company has kept the car's appearance and performance very secret, and to this day this sports car is still shrouded in mystery and has not been unveiled.
The industry is not optimistic about the sales of the ELYSEES car, believing that ELYSEES has offended many high-end customers. Even if they hold a grand press conference this time, it may be difficult to save their disadvantage in China.
Tickets for this press conference have been hyped up online even before they were officially released. In addition to the price, you also need to have strong connections to get them.
As the spokesperson of ELYSEES, Jiang Se naturally had to attend this event.
ELYSEES had already informed her in advance before officially releasing the news, and Xia Chaoqun had customized a dress for her long ago. This event was for the brand she endorsed, so it did not violate the company's "ban" on her.
A few days before attending the event, Xia Chaoqun was very strict about her diet and sleep. On the day of the ELYSEES press conference, in addition to inviting celebrities from all walks of life, media reporters were also invited. Tao Cen also attended. While everyone was waiting for Jiang Se to make a fool of herself, she became more energetic.
Tao Cen is also busy with preparations. The press conference held by ELYSEES specifically for Leopard is also an opportunity for her.
While applying the facial mask, she closed her eyes and listened to Song Yi:
"Sister Tao, ELYSEES has sent out some invitations. The scale of this Leopard launch event is so large that ELYSEES did the right thing by making a name for themselves in the first place."
After the incident became such a big deal, the tickets issued by ELYSEES have become hard to come by, so most of the people who received the tickets will attend ELYSEES' event.
"Among those who received the tickets, there are Mrs. Zhou and her daughter, Mrs. Weng from Mei Tian Company..."
He read out several names in a row. All of them were fans of Tao Cen. They were also the socialites who were good friends with Mrs. Zhou in the ELYSEES incident and had told the media that they were not optimistic about Jiang Se endorsing Leopard.
"They all said they would boycott Jiang Se and the Leopard sports car. At the ELYSEES press conference, they will also try their best to order other ELYSEES models for you, so that ELYSEES can see your value."
When Song Yi said these words, his tone was somewhat happy.
"If your fans can really work together and buy other brands of vehicles from ELYSEES at the ELYSEES press conference, and the Leopard series that ELYSEES is promoting is not popular and its sales are not as good as other models, Jiang Se will be embarrassed."
At the same time, it can also make the people of ELYSEES realize the importance of Tao Cen, and weigh in their hearts who is more important between Jiang Se and Tao Cen.
At this time, Mo Anqi was also anxious. In fact, she had thought about what Song Yi did earlier.
But Xia Chaoqun did not take any action, and Mo Anqi herself was just an assistant. Although she had made friends with many people in the industry because of her work for Jiang Se in recent years, the price of ELYSEES' new sports car has not been announced yet, but one can imagine how much it costs to ask Jiang Se to be the spokesperson.
This is not something that ordinary people can easily afford, just an egg and a handful of green onions. Even if she is in a hurry to invite people, even if they can enter the press conference held by ELYSEES, they may not be able to buy a car.
In this regard, Tao Cen, who has been endorsing ELYSEES for many years and is extremely popular in China, has a much greater advantage than Jiang Se. (To be continued)
