Jiang Hongshao took her father's car home. Li Jingping also came to Chengdu. Chen Huiyan was also there today and they were having dinner at home.
Because of his work, Li Jingping only goes back to Chengdu once every two weeks to see his wife and daughter, but this week is obviously not a normal free day. Even if he can only stay in Chengdu for one day, he has to rush back to Shanhai on Sunday to host the state-owned bank financing work seminar on Monday. This year's housing reform has made housing a major household consumption as a bulk commodity. Although this move has expanded domestic demand, it has also begun to burden households with loan debts. As the chief executive of Shanhai City, it is necessary to respond to the central government's policies. Using this policy to complete the transformation and reform of related industrial manufacturing industries and promote employment is Li Jingping's current future plan.
But at home, it seems that these things about work can be put aside. When Li Jingping and Jiang Hongshao got home, Jiang's mother and Chen Huiyan had already prepared a large table of dishes.
Seeing the father and daughter return home, Chen Huiyan turned around and smiled, "The timing is just right, you guys still arrived on time."
Li Jingping said, "Mr. Chen is cooking for me personally. I haven't tasted your cooking in many years?"
Chen Huiyan frowned, "You're still talking about me. I've heard about your specialty, spicy chicken, before you and Weiwei got married, but I haven't had it since we got married."
Chen Huiyan has been friends with them for many years. She used to be a college classmate of Jiang's mother. When Jiang Yueqin was in school, her academic name was Jiang Wei, so this is why Chen Huiyan always called her "Weiwei". When Li Jingping came to their school, she often made things difficult for him.
Li Jingping rolled up his sleeves and said, "Why don't I cook a pot right now..."
The two women in the kitchen said in unison, "Forget it! You should just sit down and wait for your meal!" Chen Huiyan added, "I bought Longquan pheasant, and if you come, it will be salty and tasteless, which is basically a waste. Who doesn't know that when we were in Shanhai, Hong Shao was the one who cooked in your family. I don't know how much Hong Shao and you have suffered over the years."
Li Jingping smiled embarrassedly, washed his hands and went to the table with Jiang Hongshao.
There were many dishes on the long table, including Jiang Mu's specialty, braised pork chop, mouth-watering boiled fish with chili floating in the red oil soup, clear stewed pig's trotter soup with green onions, and Chen Huiyan's crystal pork elbow and braised prawns made with oil, which were almost made by a master chef.
When the four of them sat down at the table, Jiang Hongshao suddenly noticed that the newspaper she had placed on the coffee table in the living room that morning had been turned over.
Facing Jiang Hongshao's gaze, Jiang Yueqin's expression did not change, and she said, "We've read the newspaper."
Li Jingping looked at Jiang Hongshao, pursed his lips, as if smiling.
In fact, there is no need for newspaper reports. Jiang Hongshao's situation in No. 10 Middle School will naturally be reported to Jiang Yueqin.
In fact, after knowing this incident, Jiang's mother and Li Jingping talked on the phone. What she was concerned about was not this incident, but the fact that Jiang Hongshao did not tell her about it immediately after it happened.
Jiang Yueqin asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Li Jingping knew that this was what his wife actually cared about.
Jiang Hongshao said, "I didn't think it was a big deal at the time... I didn't want to make you worry."
Jiang Yueqin asked, "The male student in the report is Cheng Ran, right?"
Li Jingping knew that this was his wife reminding their daughter. She knew very well what your remarks were about. In fact, it was nothing more than waiting for the newspaper to publish Cheng Ran's remarks and then showing them to us.
Jiang Hongshao hummed, as if she was concentrating on eating with chopsticks. After picking up a piece of pig's trotter in the bowl, she looked up and said, "He said it very well, didn't he... I also felt that the expert was wrong at the time, but I could only refute it superficially... But what he knows and understands is even more powerful, such as the marshmallow experiment, and he was able to find evidence to point out the exaggerated content of the expert's article at the time..."
Jiang Yueqin nodded. "Your vice president called me to talk about your performance, saying that you are very courageous and not afraid of authority. This is very good. If Sun Xiao is exaggerating, then you can point out his problem and prevent his wrong remarks from becoming popular. You have also done a good job of correcting it... This is good. Okay, let's just let it go. Let's eat."
The meal went quite harmoniously.
After dinner, Jiang Hongshao took the initiative to wash the dishes.
It was at this time that Li Jingping and Jiang Yueqin looked back at the Rongcheng Metropolitan Newspaper on the coffee table that reported the No. 10 Middle School incident and exchanged glances.
Li Jingping said, "This son of Cheng Feiyang has very good logic and his rebuttals are very sharp... Some of his words are quite on point. It's great that he can have such a sharp tongue at this age."
Jiang Yueqin glanced at him and said coldly, "His words are good, but too sharp... This Cheng Ran is a great debater and also a good swearer. His words have caused a lot of controversy, and many newspapers have opened pages to discuss and argue with him. All this controversy was caused by him. This Cheng Ran... isn't he a little too troublesome?"
Li Jingping thought about it and nodded, "That's true."
Jiang Yueqin looked towards the kitchen, frowning slightly, "I always feel that Hong Shao is a little bit worried when she stays with him."
…
The discussion about Cheng Ran and the two people's attitudes were just an episode.
After dinner, Li Jingping went to the study on the second floor to drink tea and read, leaving his private time to Jiang Yueqin and Chen Huiyan.
The two of them sat in the small courtyard outside the building, brewed some black tea, and often chatted about various topics. Jiang Yueqin also liked to listen to Chen Huiyan's business affairs and learn about these aspects that she had never been exposed to.
It’s just that Chen Huiyan was a little worried today. Jiang Yueqin saw it and asked about it. She also half-jokingly said that if it was a business secret that I shouldn’t know, then just pretend I didn’t ask.
Chen Huiyan shook her head. "What can't I tell you? I'm relieved about you, Weiwei. It's just that things in Rongcheng have been a bit unsettled lately..."
Jiang Yueqin frowned.
Chen Huiyan said, "Don't think it has anything to do with me. I'm here to complain. Actually, it's not. I heard it from my friends in the real estate industry. It's said that there is a peninsula in Zhouwan in the territory of Rongcheng now. It used to be called Zhouwan Village. A few years ago, there was a man named Lei Wei who pulled a real estate development project there. Now some projects in Zhouwan Peninsula are harassed by Lei Wei. Not only does he monopolize the sand mining rights in Zhouwan, but even the projects under construction, raw materials, cement and steel bars must go through his company, Lei Wei's company, otherwise they can't be transported in at all. He can block the throat of the entrance and exit. It is precisely because of this that Lei Wei's power has expanded like a snowball. It is said that there is a name like Lei Wei Gang in Rongcheng... I also heard that in the early days, because of the demolition problem with the local residents of the peninsula, Lei Wei had gathered his men and murdered the local leader... The incident ended with the drowning of that person. But after that, no one in the local residents was dissatisfied, and the entire Zhouwan area was controlled by Lei Wei. It is said that he can grant land to anyone he wants."
Jiang Yueqin frowned, "Did you offend him?"
Chen Huiyan shook her head, "Not really... but some time ago, I heard about a boss with a net worth of over 100 million yuan, who was developing a project in Zhouwan. He was probably bullied everywhere, and once he couldn't stand it anymore, he asked his manager to confront them about something. As a result, Lei Wei had someone kidnap the manager, and he was beaten so hard that he had to be hospitalized. The boss, who was worth over 100 million yuan, had no choice but to apologize to Lei Wei in person, was slapped more than a dozen times, and paid millions to settle the matter..."
Jiang Yueqin said, "If all this is true, then this is against the law. And who is he to Zhou Wan? Can he approve the land whenever he wants?"
Chen Huiyan said, "There are not enough people like this who have money infiltrating power... Lei Wei was able to be so lawless during that period, what do you think... But I'm just telling you, your system is different, and it's impossible for you to interfere in such matters... It's just that he has done many evil things, and people like him will probably get their comeuppance sooner or later."
Jiang Yueqin was silent, nodded, and said lightly, "Lei Wei..."
