Chapter 56 The Generous Aunt
Chapter 56 The Generous Aunt
Following Yan Wenshuo, Chen Jiang entered the hall.
Before I could even get a good look at what was inside, a pretty young girl came out. She had long, straight black hair and her features bore a striking resemblance to Yan Wenshuo. She was very beautiful.
Upon seeing Yan Wenshuo and Chen Jiang, he stopped, glanced curiously at Chen Jiang, and greeted Yan Wenshuo.
"dad."
"Guoguo." Yan Wenshuo smiled and waved to him, pointing to Chen Jiang and saying, "This is the Chen Jiang brother from your Uncle Chen's family that I told you about. You can just call him Big Brother."
Hello, Guoguo.
Chen Jiang also looked at the little girl, gave her a kind smile, and took the initiative to greet her.
The little girl seemed quite lively, her eyes scanning Chen Jiang, but it was clear that Uncle Yan had raised her well, as she obediently greeted him.
"Hello, brother."
"Haha, we're all family, you two don't need to be so polite, you'll get to know each other better soon." Yan Wenshuo chuckled, seeing that his first impression of the two younger people seemed quite good. Then he looked at Yan Guoguo and asked:
Where is your aunt?
"have no idea!"
Upon hearing this question, the girl, who had just been somewhat eager to talk, immediately turned cold and turned to leave.
"Guoguo!"
Yan Wenshuo greeted her, but the little girl went upstairs without turning her head.
Looking back at Chen Jiang, Chen Jiang did seem to have figured something out, but he didn't want to get involved in Uncle Yan's affairs, so he simply turned his back and pretended not to see or hear anything.
"Ahem... Let's go inside first, your aunt will probably be here a while."
Yan Wenshuo said helplessly, then shook his head and went into the house. He sat down on the sofa and waved for Chen Jiang to come over as well.
He sat down opposite him, and Yan Wenshuo picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
"Try it, what does this tea that cost me over two thousand taste like?"
"Uncle Yan, with your wealth, I thought you'd be drinking some kind of special-supply tea... Two thousand is not enough for you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiang smiled and took the teacup, took a small sip, and after carefully tasting it, said, "I can't really taste anything, but it feels better than the tea I drink that costs thirty yuan a box."
Yan Wenshuo glared at him:
"That's not cheap... Besides, you said it's specially supplied tea, it's not that easy to get."
"But if you want a drink, I can get you some."
Chen Jiang quickly waved his hand:
"No, no, Uncle Yan, I was just saying. I'm like a cow chewing on a peony, how could I tell what's good and what's bad?"
"That's why you need to drink more... Otherwise, when you actually start drinking, you won't be able to tell the difference between good and bad, or between real and fake. Wouldn't you just be being fooled like a fool?"
Yan Wenshuo raised an eyebrow and smoothly changed the subject:
"You'll probably experience the same thing when you go to Shanghai in a few days."
"I know about your situation. I can't say I understand everything about the financial industry. If someone tries to fool you, you won't be able to tell. But you still have to observe and learn, even if it's just to broaden your horizons."
"As for the actual supervision work, you're just a facade. I've also arranged for people to keep an eye on things secretly, so there shouldn't be any trouble."
"I know, Uncle Yan, I'll try to observe and learn more and do less." Chen Jiang nodded silently, but he still had some doubts about Yan Wenshuo's words, so he simply asked directly, "However, Uncle Yan, wasn't this financial investment company something you spearheaded? Why do you seem so distrustful?"
"There are many reasons, and I can't go into details with you."
Yan Wenshuo sighed softly: "It's probably because I've just taken over and don't have enough control over the entire group yet. Plus, the way I came to power was rather unexpected and coincidental, which led to some veterans opposing me."
"This financial investment company, which made such a large investment, was a credit to my rise to power when I wasn't chairman, but now that I've successfully taken the position, it has become a burden."
"If a problem arises, it could damage my prestige and lead to my resignation."
"I see..." Chen Jiang understood, and after a moment of thought, he asked, "But Uncle Yan, since you've become the chairman, why don't you just cancel this plan? Wouldn't that solve everything?"
Yan Wenshuo smiled gently:
"You've got a simple way of thinking... but everyone knows about this, and it was my idea in the first place. Going back on your word will also damage my reputation."
"Furthermore, this is both a danger and an opportunity."
"I have studied the financial market and understand many policies, so I am actually optimistic about the financial market."
"So this financial investment company, although a dangerous hidden danger, also has the opportunity to produce enough results."
"I understand..." Chen Jiang nodded slowly.
He hadn't experienced these things himself, nor did he understand the power struggles within R&F Group, but Yan Wenshuo's explanation was simple and easy to understand.
So, in general, his role in Uncle Yan's eyes is to attract attention on the surface and broaden his horizons.
"It's good that you understand."
Yan Wenshuo nodded slightly, a smile on his face.
He knew that Chen Jiang had never experienced these things before, but that was precisely why he wanted to train him properly.
"What do you mean, 'understand' is enough?"
A voice suddenly came out from the back door.
Chen Jiang and Yan Wenshuo turned their heads at the same time. The woman who walked in was a very mature and beautiful woman. She was dressed in casual clothes, but her temperament was outstanding and her eyes and brows exuded nobility.
She has a rich and elegant appearance, and is extremely beautiful.
Even with makeup, you can still see the wrinkles around her eyes, making her look at least forty years old.
It was obvious that this must be his aunt.
Chen Jiang had just stood up, ready to greet them, when Yan Wenshuo turned around and asked:
"Are you done?"
"Almost done, the chef will finish the rest." The woman replied casually, then took a couple of steps over, stood in front of Chen Jiang, looked him up and down, and then smiled.
"Not bad, not bad. Your uncle didn't tell me you're quite handsome."
"Do you have a girlfriend? I'd like to introduce you to one?"
"Say something useful all day long," Yan Wenshuo immediately interrupted her. After the woman glared at him and sat down on the sofa next to him, he turned to Chen Jiang and introduced her:
"This is your aunt, Jin Hui... You can call her Aunt Hui or just Auntie."
"Aunt Hui."
"Sigh~~" Jin Hui smiled and agreed, then waved her hand generously without any hesitation: "Since you call me aunt, then we're family."
"Let me think about what kind of gift I should give you... How about this, when I was making bracelets before, I also made a Guanyin pendant with the leftover material. It's some kind of imperial green glass-type jadeite."
"I don't know much about these things, but they should be worth some money, so I'll give them to you."
