Jiang Xiyue picked up the tea cup, took a sip, then slowly put it down, sighing: "It would be great if your mother was still here, you wouldn't move out of the old house, and recuperate here alone, without even knowing anyone around you." There is no one who knows how to be cold or hot.”
Speaking of knowing how to be cold and how hot, she even gave Jiang Yao a meaningful look, obviously feeling that she didn't look like someone who could take care of others.
Jiang Yao raised her beautiful eyebrows, looked at Jiang Xiyue with the same look, and then covered her lips and smiled:
"Yes, when my husband needed someone to take care of him the most, none of his so-called relatives were around. Now he seems to be getting better, but someone has come to visit him."
"You!" A flash of embarrassment flashed across Jiang Xiyue's face. Knowing that these words were alluding to her, she raised her voice a few decibels, "You are indeed someone who cannot be put on the stage. Talking to elders with a gun and a stick is not what a lady should do. It looks like something.”
"Don't think that you really regard yourself as the hostess when you live in this villa. This is not the old society. There is no need for concubines. You are just a canary raised by my nephew. You have no name or status. Yell at me here!"
Before she could finish her words, Chen Yanbei's gaze suddenly shot towards her, his face as cold as ten thousand years of ice:
"My wife is the legitimate hostess here. She doesn't need to look at anyone's eyes when she speaks or does things, but you -"
He changed the topic and his tone became more cold: "Get out."
Jiang Yao could hear the coldness and sullenness in his words, and she moved her palms tightly with his fingers to indicate that he didn't take it seriously and there was no need to be so angry.
Jiang Xiyue didn't expect her nephew to scold her for a woman, but what did he just say? This woman is his wife? That Mainland doll’s love interest?
She looked at Jiang Yao in surprise: "You, are you Yanbei's wife?"
Hearing her words, Jiang Yao instantly understood that this man had been looking at her as his mistress just now! No wonder his words were full of contempt for her.
Jiang Yao nodded, wanting to see what else the other party wanted to say.
Jiang Xiyue did not forget the purpose of coming today. She immediately changed her expression and looked at Jiang Yao with a smile on her face:
"Oh, it's my fault, as an elder, that I don't have the eyesight to realize that you are Yanbei's wife. It was all a misunderstanding just now. Don't take it to heart."
When Jiang Yao didn't answer, she turned to Chen Yanbei without feeling embarrassed at all:
"Yanbei, why didn't you introduce your wife to your aunt earlier? When your mother was here, she still didn't agree with your grandfather's baby marriage. If I knew your wife was so beautiful and capable, I would definitely feel relieved."
Hearing her mention Jiang Xuezhi, Chen Yanbei's eyes dimmed for a moment. The reason why he could tolerate the Jiang family coming to visit him was precisely because his mother had confessed before her death that no matter what happened to the Jiang family, there would always be a supporter. If the Jiang family encountered difficulties in the future and asked to visit him, he would be able to help within the scope of his ability. one cent.
Uncle Jiang Ze has been very good to his mother since he was a child. The Jiang family has been cut off from the Chen family for so many years, but his uncle and his mother have always been in contact with each other in private.
That's why when Chen Yanbei set up a company in Singapore, he invited his uncle to work as an accountant in the company.
However, Chen Yanbei is not Jiang Xuezhi and will tolerate everyone in the Jiang family indefinitely. He curled his lips coldly, his attitude very obvious.
"Yanbei, it was my aunt who was wrong just now. She spoke a little harshly. For the sake of your mother, please don't get angry with your aunt."
Jiang Xiyue was able to bend and stretch, but continued to apologize and show weakness.
Chen Yanbei didn't follow her lead. He picked up the tea cup with an indifferent expression and took a sip.
Jiang Xiyue hit a snag and awkwardly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea. She neither got up to leave nor continued to speak, pretending that nothing happened just now.
Seeing her sitting like a mountain, Zhou Ning carefully tugged on her sleeves and reminded her in a low voice: "Mom, don't forget about business."
Jiang Xiyue coughed twice and said seriously: "Oh, Yanbei, let's not talk about this anymore. My aunt is here this time to ask for your help."
She pulled her daughter aside and introduced: "This is your cousin Zhou Ning. She just graduated from the State University of Singapore this year and majored in administration. You also know that the family's business has been sluggish in the past few years and the company has gone bankrupt. I heard Your uncle said that your company just left a senior special assistant, how about asking Ning Ning to help you?"
"Look, after all, we are still a family. You have been recuperating in Xiangjiang for a long time. You can rest assured that you have a family member to help you look after the company, right? For your mother's sake, how about giving your cousin a chance? "
Zhou Ning also took the opportunity to express his loyalty: "Cousin, my major is to train special assistants, so I will definitely be qualified for this job. When the time comes, I can also help you monitor the leaders of various departments and report their movements to you as soon as possible. Can you just give me a chance?"
"I don't agree!" Jiang Yao looked slightly cold and interrupted her directly.
Jiang Xiyue looked at Jiang Yao suddenly, and the smile on her face disappeared: "You don't agree? Why do you disagree? That's Yanbei's company. Just be your young mistress of the Chen family. Don't interfere in men's affairs. "
Jiang Yao had just dealt with Lin Lin and didn't want to cause any more trouble. Her mother-in-law Jiang Xuezhi was not the biological daughter of the Jiang family at all, so this Zhou Ning's cousin had no blood relationship with Chen Yanbei.
The Jiang family is in decline, and Zhou Ning is at the age of getting married. If she develops any unwanted thoughts towards Chen Yanbei... And now she is Chen Yanbei's special assistant. It is of course the assistant's duty to take care of the boss's worries.
She smiled and said: "Aunt Jiang, the company has recruited a suitable assistant. Cousin Zhou Ning should look at other positions, such as the administrative front desk?"
Administrative Reception? ! How could her daughter be on the front desk! If you want to be a special assistant, be the one closest to the boss!
Jiang Xiyue: "Humph, how is that possible? The special assistant left his job only a week ago, how could it be possible to recruit a new assistant so quickly?"
Jiang Yao raised her beautiful eyebrows calmly and said in a scornful tone: "Why is it impossible? Because I am the new assistant."
"You?" Jiang Xiyue laughed out loud as if she had heard some big joke, "Can you recognize all 26 English letters? That is a senior special assistant. Not only does he need to be fluent in English as a working language, but he also needs to understand business management. , marketing, financial analysis, how can you, a girl who grew up in a mainland country, be qualified for this job?"
"Yes, cousin!" Zhou Ning suddenly stood up and interjected, "I heard that people from all departments of my cousin's company have to go through layers of interviews before they can get in. How can my cousin convince the public by destroying the company system like this? "
"So," Jiang Xiyue glanced at Jiang Yao with a mocking smile, and took over her daughter's words, "You are best suited to be a young lady at home, shopping and beautifying and playing mahjong all day long. It would be great to start enjoying happiness at a young age."
The mother and daughter sang together, but Chen Yanbei picked up the phone next to him with a cold expression and dialed a number.
After a while, a person who looked like an assistant came upstairs and brought a document down.
After Chen Yanbei took the document, he threw it on the coffee table in front of Zhou Ning and curled his lips coldly:
"This is an investment project that the company is considering. Since you know that you cannot undermine the company's recruitment system and you boast of your extraordinary abilities, then translate this document and attach your investment suggestions."
ah? Are you going to interview her on the spot? Zhou Ning looked slightly stunned and sat there without moving.
Jiang Xiyue poked her daughter with her elbow: "What are you doing standing still? Translate quickly and prove your ability to your cousin!"
While speaking, she had already placed the document in her daughter's hands.
Zhou Ning opened the folder and browsed through it. The information inside was all in English. Although there were only four pages, at a glance, they were all uncommon words. However, one of the words meant minerals. She guessed road:
"This, this is an investment project related to mining, and then..."
After only three or four lines, she couldn't translate anymore, her face turned red and she picked at her fingers.
When Jiang Xiyue saw this, she quickly smoothed things over for her daughter:
"Hey, Yanbei, your test came too suddenly, and Ningning was not prepared in advance. Besides, her English level is sufficient for daily work communication, but if you ask her to translate difficult materials specifically, this is not intentional. Are you embarrassing someone?"
"Oh, making things difficult?" Chen Yanbei glanced at the two of them with a mocking look, "So you mean I have to tailor the work content for her? Can't it go beyond her capabilities?"
puff--
Hearing this, Jiang Yao burst into laughter. Chen Yanbei definitely knows how to satirize people.
Jiang Xiyue's face instantly looked as embarrassed as if she had a piece of shit in her mouth. She would be afraid of nausea if she swallowed it, but would be embarrassed if she spit it out.
Jiang Yao didn't mind giving her another blow, so she stood up and took the document: "Let me take a look."
She opened the document slowly, and while scanning the English words, she easily translated a large paragraph.
The document is only four pages long and introduces a rare metal mine project, with some professional geological diagrams mixed in to explain the mining process and cycle.
Finally, she gave a brief investment suggestion: "The mining of rare metal mines is difficult and takes a long time, and the purity that can be mined is uncertain. The return on investment is not much higher than that of ordinary projects, so investment is not recommended."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yao raised her head and glanced at Zhou Ning, whose face was already red from her neck to her ears:
"My cousin is also a college student after all. Why can't her English proficiency be as good as that of a country boy like me? Could it be that this diploma..."
She didn't finish what she said, but she was obviously questioning Zhou Ning's academic qualifications.
Jiang Xiyue hurriedly stepped forward to protect her daughter behind her, and glared at Jiang Yao with an unhappy expression:
"You may be able to translate it because you heard Yanbei talk about this project with others. Do you really think you have real talents? If Yanbei hadn't pampered you, do you think you could sit in the position of special assistant?"
"Yes, I just rely on someone to favor me. However, I think my cousin's abilities are not suitable for going to work. She is suitable for shopping and beautifying and playing mahjong all day long. Why not go home and find a man to marry." Jiang Yao smiled. He retorted back.
Jiang Xiyue was so angry that she turned pale. She actually said that her precious daughter was not capable? !
"Yanbei, I think you shouldn't agree to this baby marriage. Countryside people are really not well-educated. She will just say nothing to her elders! No matter how much Ning Ning calls her cousin, how can she talk like that?"
Chen Yanbei didn't even look at Jiang Xiyue and her daughter. He turned around and touched the top of Jiang Yao's hair affectionately. He said calmly: "My wife is right. If you are not capable enough, don't embarrass yourself. Go back and find a man to marry." Alright."
"You!" Jiang Xiyue was extremely angry.
"Mommy, let's go back." Zhou Ning could tell from that document that she was indeed not qualified for the job of a special assistant. She had lost so much face in front of her cousin today that she had no shame in staying any longer.
Coupled with seeing Jiang Yao's appearance and temperament, Chen Yanbei stood by her from the beginning to the end. The two of them intertwined their fingers and were intimate as if no one else was around. All this made Zhou Ning feel like a clown.
Jiang Xiyue was not as worried as her daughter. Instead, she stood up like crazy and shouted at Chen Yanbei:
"Your mommy said she wanted you to repay our Jiang family, and this is how you repaid her? She just asked you to arrange a special assistant job for Ning Ning. It would be better for you two to work together to belittle her and ridicule her to get married early. people."
"Chen Yanbei, if you did this to us, your mother would be so angry that you would vomit blood if she knew anything about it!"
"If it weren't for our Jiang family, your mother would have died long ago. If I hadn't given her the opportunity to marry into the Chen family, would you be able to have your current status as the eldest young master of the Chen family?"
Jiang Xiyue's marriage was not going well, and the Jiang family was in decline. She had long regretted giving up the opportunity to marry into the Chen family to Jiang Xuezhi.
Being treated like this by Chen Yanbei immediately brought out the resentment and dissatisfaction in his heart.
Seeing that his own mother was going too far, Zhou Ning was so frightened that she quickly grabbed her and said, "Mom, don't mention what happened back then."
Originally, the relationship between my cousin and the Jiang family was not close. It was because of my aunt's instructions when she passed away that my cousin was willing to talk to the people in the Jiang family. Now that I am saying these words, isn't it just pushing my cousin away again?
Even if she can't be a special assistant now, her cousin can always introduce her to another job. If not, her uncle can talk to her.
"Cousin, my mother is talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart. I will take her away right now." Zhou Ning directly covered Jiang Xiyue's mouth, and then pushed her out.
Jiang Xiyue was so angry that she scolded her vaguely as she walked away: "Whose daughter are you? I'm speaking for you, but you turn your elbows away!"
The voices of the mother and daughter gradually faded away, and the living room became quiet.
Sister An had been in the kitchen just now, waiting to serve the guests at any time, but she heard that noise and she should not have let those two people in if she had known better.
Sister An came out of the kitchen and planned to clear the coffee table.
Chen Yanbei said coldly: "No one from the Jiang family is allowed to come in from now on. If you can't stop them, ask the bodyguards to beat them out."
"Yes, yes." Sister An nodded timidly.
Jiang Yao squeezed Chen Yanbei's fingers and said in a delicate and soft voice: "Okay, don't be angry, okay? I don't care about their level at all."
The coldness in Chen Yanbei's eyes receded, and he reached out and stroked the hair on her head: "If you encounter something like this again in the future, don't bother talking to them if you can do something about it."
