Chapter Eight: Changes at home
Upon hearing this, Chen Kai was slightly startled, and Chen Lin and her daughter shrank in fear.
"Yes, this good-for-nothing is a prodigal, a typical harmful person. Our Chen family has been unable to get up for a hundred years because of his bad luck."
Wu Lijuan thought about what she had experienced over the years, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She originally thought that relying on Jiang Ge could make the Chen family prosperous, but she didn't expect that it was going from bad to worse.
She believed what Wang Xiang said more and more, that Jiang Ge was a disaster star.
"Oh, may I ask who you are, Your Majesty?"
Chen Kai was also shocked and quickly looked at Jiang Ge.
"My grandfather is the 'Immortal of the Stone' Jiang Daolong!"
Jiang Ge didn't intend to hide it, and directly told his life experience. After all, as long as someone is willing to investigate, these things can be found, and he is not afraid that the other party will have evil thoughts.
"What, you are actually the grandson of Shi Zhongxian?"
Chen Kai was also surprised. He didn't expect such a reason.
The ‘Immortal of Stone’ Jiang Daolong is well-known in the stone gambling industry in the south. With his ability to break jade, he has almost taken over half of the stone gambling industry. In just ten years, he has accumulated tens of billions of assets and is regarded as an honorary consultant by countless jade shops.
He is even regarded as an example of self-made money by gamblers.
But all this changed five years ago. Jiang Daolong was possessed by an unknown evil, and made poor decisions, resulting in a sharp decline in his assets. He even made a series of misguided bets with others on stones, and even lost the original coffin. The reputation of Stone Zhongxian was completely ruined.
Some people say that Jiang Daolong was too arrogant and was tricked by others, while others say that he was possessed by an evil spirit, because none of those who followed Jiang Daolong had a good ending, and almost all of them died with their eyes open.
But compared to these speculations, Shi Zhongxian's ancestral teachings are more convincing.
"I heard that the Jiang family has an ancestral saying that as long as you gamble badly, everyone around you will die. I don't know if it is true?" Chen Kai was a little curious, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Jiang Ge smiled, "It doesn't matter if it is, it doesn't matter if it doesn't, I don't believe in fate, I only believe in myself!"
The struggle flashed through his eyes, and finally turned into determination. Incompetence was the original sin. He had suffered enough from constraints and poverty in these years. If he didn't fight, he wouldn't even have a chance to survive, so why bother with the flood.
"Okay, since Mr. Jiang doesn't care, I'm not afraid of opening the Jade Pavilion to welcome guests. Come on, Master Jiang. There is a stone selection meeting in the old street today, and my boss specially asked me to invite you to come and palm the eyes!"
Chen Kai doesn't care about that much. He just wants to complete his boss's tasks. As for who dies and who lives, it has nothing to do with him.
Seeing that Chen Kai was giving him face, Jiang Ge couldn't refuse, so he said directly, "Okay, let's lead the way!"
It seems that the conditions offered to him by the other party are quite good, but we will have to wait and see whether the negotiation can be concluded.
Before leaving, he looked at the beggar Liu Songwen who was about to make a move and said, "Come together, I will show you the world."
"Really, I can also go betting on stones with you?"
Liu Songwen's face was full of excitement. In just one day, he witnessed Jiang Ge's changes with his own eyes.
It reminded him of a saying, "Jinling is not a thing in the pond. It turns into a dragon when it encounters the storm." It is obvious that Jiang Ge is not a thing in the pond. As long as he follows him, there is no need to worry about not being prosperous.
"Of course. You don't have to be a beggar anymore. You won't go hungry if you have a bowl of rice from me."
Jiang Ge nodded. During this time, he also understood the other person's character and could stay by his side. Besides, the other person helped him so much.
"Master Jiang, this is not suitable. My boss's place is a formal occasion. Everyone who enters must be strictly screened. He cannot get in with his status."
After hearing what the two people said, Chen Kai looked embarrassed. The big bosses in the stone gambling industry were here to buy goods in today's conversation. How could ordinary people just come in?
"How about... forget it, I won't go. I'll talk about it later when I have the chance." Liu Songwen lowered his head instantly, not wanting to cause any trouble to Jiang Ge.
Jiang Ge, however, had a straight face and glared at Chen Kai, "What did you say?"
Then he patted Liu Songwen on the shoulder and said, "This is my brother. How can he be an ordinary person? Is this how Mr. Zhang Wu taught you how to treat guests? Do you know what a brother is?"
"No...that's not what I meant. Master Jiang, please calm down. Since he is your brother, it should be okay." Chen Kai was also startled. He did not expect Jiang Ge to react so strongly.
At the same time, he was also a little angry. He was just calling a beggar a brother, but he still looked down on him. If it weren't for the shopkeeper's order, he wouldn't have turned against him.
Liu Songwen on the side was so moved that he almost cried. Jiang Ge actually regarded him as a brother. What was even more rare was that he did not hesitate to offend Feibao Pavilion for his own sake.
He secretly made up his mind to return this friendship in the future.
"By the way, we need to arrange a professional caregiver for our daughter so that there is no one to take care of her in the middle."
Before leaving, Jiang Ge remembered something and asked Liu Songwen to invite the doctor over.
He said directly to the doctor, "Arrange a professional nurse for my daughter, the most gentle and considerate one."
"Sir, the cost of an ordinary nurse is 2,800 a month, and they provide care 10 hours a day. The cost of a professional nurse is about 4,500, and they provide 24-hour care. A special nurse has graduated from the nursing major. His personality and character are documented and disciplined, and he has a generous salary.
The nursing knowledge is from a gentle little girl, eight thousand yuan a month, and the hospital will be responsible if something goes wrong..."
The attending doctor was not a good person either. When he saw Jiang Ge's current trend, he thought it was profitable and immediately started to promote it.
"Okay, stop talking, just use the most professional super nurse!"
"Professionals can do professional things."
Jiang Ge directly interrupted the doctor's introduction and chose the best one. The reason why he did this was because he got what he paid for, so the service must not be bad, and if there is a problem, he can go to the hospital. This is the most important thing.
Since he plans to take the road of gambling on stones, he will definitely not be short of money. His daughter is his heart and soul, so he cannot treat her badly.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang, our hospital will definitely take good care of your daughter. You can rest assured."
The attending doctor was also happy. After all, he would get a bonus for introducing such a business, and his attitude became more respectful in an instant.
"etc!"
Just then Wu Lijuan jumped out. She had been watching for a long time and couldn't bear it anymore.
Pointing at Jiang Ge, he said, "What a waste of money. Isn't it a waste of money to hire a caregiver for eight thousand yuan? Chen Lin and I are completely qualified. Isn't it good to give this money to my own family?"
She was really excited. Eight thousand yuan was not low in this day and age, and she could play mahjong for a long time. Even her pension was not that much.
The same is true for Chen Lin. She also wants the 8,000 yuan a month. Besides, as Jiangling's mother, she thinks she can care more about her daughter than the caregiver.
He quickly said, "That's right, Jiang Ge, you are so shameless. Why don't you give the money to my mother? She has nothing to do at home anyway. I can come and take care of Lingling after get off work."
Unexpectedly, Jiang Ge ignored the two of them at all, but looked disgusted, "Come on, what else do you two do besides playing cards and going shopping?"
"Don't even think about it. Besides, you have already kicked me and my daughter out of the Chen family. We don't dare to follow the dragon and the phoenix."
