Peng Jiahe and Cai Mingjun walked out of the warehouse with different expressions.
Cai Mingjun's expression was very frightening, as if he had been caught red-handed as a thief.
Peng Jiahe's psychological quality is much better and his expression is very calm.
"Why are you secretly hiding in the back kitchen and warehouse?" Wang Gang accused Peng Jiahe: "Are you and Xiao Cai in love?"
"No, Mr. Chen, Jiahe and I don't have that kind of relationship." Cai Mingjun stammered nervously:
"I was in the warehouse teaching Jiahe how to identify ingredients. I didn't want to eavesdrop on your conversation with Chef Lu."
Wang Gang looked at Peng Jiahe and said, "Did you all hear what I just said to Lu Yuan?"
Cai Mingjun was even more nervous. He was just a young apprentice in the kitchen and was a low-key man, but he also knew that Wang Gang had a special relationship with his boss Jiang Lai.
The conversation between Lu Yuan and Wang Gang just now scared Cai Mingjun into a cold sweat.
It turns out that Chef Lu has no sense of taste. No wonder Chef Lu asked Peng Jiahe to taste the meal first when the chef prepared it.
Cai Mingjun glanced at Peng Jiahe secretly, but unexpectedly met Peng Jiahe's threatening eyes.
"If you dare to spread the news about Lu Yuan losing his sense of taste, I will skin you!" Peng Jiahe said viciously.
"I will never tell anyone." Cai Mingjun swore pointing to the sky.
Wang Gang smiled and said: "Don't be so nervous. I believe you won't tell anyone. I will ask Lu Yuan to train you later."
Cai Mingjun's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Although Lu Yuan has no sense of taste, he is very good at cooking. Cai Mingjun has tasted Lu Yuan's steak Wellington, and he has never tasted that taste in his life.
If he can get guidance from Lu Yuan, Cai Mingjun believes that his cooking skills will improve by leaps and bounds.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen." Cai Mingjun said gratefully.
Peng Jiahe curled his lips disdainfully and said, "Look at your potential."
"You are fine, go home quickly! The restaurant will be closed soon." Wang Gang said to the two of them.
"Do you really believe that Aunt Gan Jing is a vain woman?" Peng Jiahe asked Wang Gang.
Wang Gang raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not."
Peng Jiahe said angrily: "Aunt Gan Jing is the most outstanding woman I have ever met. She is independent, self-reliant, and confident. She is definitely not that kind of person?"
Cai Mingjun pulled Peng Jiahe's sleeve, trying to remind her of Wang Gang's identity.
"Why are you pulling me?" Peng Jiahe waved his hand and said angrily to Cai Mingjun.
"Jiahe, it's getting late, let me take you home!" Cai Mingjun was sweating profusely.
"If you want to leave, you go first. If I don't make it clear to him today, I won't leave." Peng Jiahe said firmly.
Wang Gang said to Cai Mingjun: "Xiao Cai, you go back first! I will drive Peng Jiahe back later."
Cai Mingjun looked at the stubborn Peng Jiahe, then at the calm Wang Gang, and finally had no choice but to leave the restaurant.
When only Peng Jiahe and Wang Gang were left in the kitchen, Wang Gang said: "How do you see that Gan Jing is independent and self-reliant?"
Peng Jiahe said loudly: "Aunt Gan Jing works hard alone, studying abroad and starting a company. Isn't she independent and self-reliant enough?"
Wang Gang said disdainfully: "Gan Jing did not study alone. Lu Yuan always accompanied her and took care of her. Later, he even paid all her tuition fees and did not let her work part-time.
As for starting a company, it’s even more of a joke. Without Jiang Haokun, Gan Jing wouldn’t even be able to afford renting an office.”
Peng Jiahe was choked by Wang Gang and was speechless.
Wang Gang continued: "Little girl, if you look at a person, no matter what her deeds or her heart is, no matter what she says, she can't change her behavior.
Gan Jing has relied on men from the beginning to the end to survive until now. She has been a very purposeful woman from the beginning to the end."
Peng Jiahe lowered his head, perhaps unable to accept the collapse of Gan Jing's majestic image.
"It's impossible, Aunt Gan Jing is not that kind of person!"
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "You will know who she is in a few days. You and Lu Yuan are both too naive."
No longer wasting words with Peng Jiahe, Wang Gang went to the office to call Jiang Lai, and then left the restaurant with Peng Jiahe.
Wang Gang first sent Peng Jiahe home, and then sent Jiang Lai to Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's villa.
During this period, Jiang Lai lived at home most of the time, mainly asking Jiang's father and Jiang's mother for business advice.
When the old couple saw that their daughter was so motivated, they knew everything and spared no effort to train her.
However, the old couple still respected Jiang Haokun's opinion about joining the Jiang Group and wanted Jiang Lai to train in a Western restaurant for a while.
Wang Gang had long ago advised Jiang Lai not to be impatient. The concept of favoring sons over daughters is not easy to change unless Jiang Haokun touches Jiang's father and Jiang's mother's bottom line.
After Jiang Lai returned home, he found that Jiang Haokun was also at home, explaining to Jiang's father the group's key development projects in the second half of the year.
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Jiang Lai wanted to join in, so he took a fruit plate and walked into the study.
Father Jiang said: "Your brother is considering shifting the group's development focus in the second half of the year to real estate projects."
Jiang Lai put down the fruit plate and said: "Domestic real estate is booming, and Jiang started his career in real estate, focusing on the development of real estate, which is not bad."
Jiang Haokun frowned slightly and said, "Do you think it is not good to develop real estate?"
"It's not bad, it's not good enough." Jiang Lai inserted a piece of apple and handed it to Jiang's father.
Jiang's father smiled and said, "Why is this method not good enough?"
Jiang Lai said: "Domestic real estate development is in full swing, and it is indeed very profitable, but the competition is also fierce. With Jiang's scale, it is actually difficult to take the lead, and there is still a certain gap between the leading real estate companies."
Jiang's father was intrigued and asked, "Then in which direction do you think the Jiang family should develop?"
Jiang Lai said: "The real estate project is the foundation of Jiang's family, so we cannot give it up. However, we can invest funds appropriately in other industries. We cannot put all our eggs in one basket."
Jiang Haokun said disdainfully: "Everyone can tell you the general truth, but the specific way to do it is the key."
Jiang Laicheng said: "I think the group should reduce land acquisition in the second half of the year and invest funds in the retail industry!"
"Do you want to engage in retail?" Jiang's father was stunned and asked, "Isn't this business a bit big?"
Jiang Lai said: "I think domestic supermarkets have great development prospects, especially membership-based supermarkets!"
Jiang's father was intrigued and asked: "What is a membership-based supermarket?"
Jiang Lai asked back: "Dad, do you know about Sam's Club in the United States? Chen Fang wants to invest in a similar supermarket. If Jiang is interested, he can also take a share."
Jiang Haokun snorted coldly: "After talking for a long time, it turns out that boy Chen Fang wants to open a supermarket, and you came home to cheat money!"
Jiang Lai said angrily: "What is cheating? This is investment. Besides, Chen Fang has sufficient funds. If it weren't for my sake, I wouldn't have planned to play with Jiang."
Jiang’s father asked: “How much capital does this membership-based supermarket need to invest in the early stage?”
Seeing that his father was moved, Jiang Haokun couldn't help but persuade him: "Dad, Chen Fang is just an embroidered pillow. His investment in the supermarket is just a cover. He just wants to defraud our Jiang family of money!"
Jiang Lai said unhappily: "Stop calling Chen Fang a liar. He hasn't defrauded me of a penny since he was with me, but it was Gan Jing. You spent a lot on her, right?"
Seeing that the brother and sister were about to quarrel again, Jiang's father suddenly had a headache and stood up and said: "Haokun, if you don't understand any investment project, how can you know whether it is good or not.
What's more, it is biased to conclude that a person is a liar based on one's own subjective assumptions."
Jiang Haokun can stand up to Jiang Lai, but he gets cold feet when facing his father.
Jiang's father turned to Jiang Lai and said, "You will ask Chen Fang to come to your house for dinner later, and we will have a good chat about the supermarket project."
"Thank you, Dad." Jiang Lai put his arms around his father's neck and quietly made a face at Jiang Haokun.
