Chapter 53 The Greedy Old Woman
Chapter 53 The Greedy Old Woman
Song Qiao returned to her car, took out the miniature camera that Lu Mingxuan had given her, looked around, and didn't know where to put it.
She felt that Jiang Ming could see her everywhere.
Suddenly she looked up and saw that the position on the sun visor was suitable. Jiang Ming didn't usually use this spot because it was winter and sun visors were rarely used.
After thinking it over, Song Qiao took out the camera and installed it according to the method Lu Mingxuan taught her. Looking at the clothes she had bought for Zhang Dalan, she felt that she had wasted her money.
I decided to go back and return it.
As soon as I opened the car door, Liu Yan returned.
"Song Qiao, are you alright?"
Liu Yan expressed her concern for Song Qiao: "I haven't finished buying these things yet, but I came to check on you because I was worried about your health."
Song Qiao looked at her: "Sister-in-law, I'm fine now. Shall we go back and stroll around for a while longer?"
"Actually, there's nothing much to buy. I think we should go back."
Song Qiao glanced at the handbag Liu Yan was carrying: "Who did you buy this for? It's not for your mother-in-law, is it?"
Liu Yan is notoriously stingy. Although she claims to be very filial, she treats her mother-in-law the same way.
"I bought it for my son," Liu Yan said with an awkward smile.
"Since you didn't buy it for your mother-in-law, shall I go back and return it? That way, she won't find out and talk badly about you behind your back."
Upon hearing Song Qiao's words, Liu Yan happily agreed: "Let's go! I'll go with you to return it."
After the two returned home, the saleswoman at the clothing store said that discounted clothes could not be returned.
Song Qiao was in a dilemma when she heard that Liu Yan was not going to back down, but Liu Yan said, "Give me the clothes!"
Song Qiao handed it to her, and Liu Yan, holding the clothes, called out from the side, "This dress doesn't fit. Is there any old lady who wears this size? Sell it to her."
Liu Yan added, "This dress is no longer available. We just snatched it up; the quality is excellent, and the original price was..."
Liu Yan's promotion did indeed attract some people who wanted the clothes, and Song Qiao sold the clothes to a middle-aged woman.
After leaving the mall, Song Qiao praised Liu Yan: "You're amazing!"
"You don't know this, do you? I used to sell things at a street stall."
Song Qiao casually asked, "Where was it produced?"
"It's the vegetable market on the other side of Xingshan Road."
Upon hearing Xingshan Road, Song Qiao immediately thought of the garbage dump, which was closest to Xingshan Road.
"Sister-in-law, when you were buying clothes there, did you hear any stories about people finding children?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan asked, "Whose child is missing?"
“There’s an older woman in the company who lost a little girl near a landfill years ago and has been searching for her ever since.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I know some people over there. I'll go and ask them for you when I have time."
After saying this, Liu Yan looked at Song Qiao with a fawning expression and asked, "Song Qiao, I have a favor to ask you. Do you think it's okay?"
The two walked out of the bustling shopping mall and came outside. A cool breeze blew against Song Qiao's neck, and she quickly turned up the collar of her trench coat.
“Sister-in-law, we’ve been neighbors for many years. You’ve helped me a lot. Just tell me if you need anything.”
Song Qiao already knew what Liu Yan wanted to say; it must be about promoting her husband.
Sure enough, Liu Yan looked at Song Qiao and said, "My husband Xiaodong has been working for your husband Jiang Ming for many years. Could you ask your husband to help you out and get promoted to team leader or something?"
If you can become the foreman on the construction site, you won't have to do the work yourself; you can just direct others and still earn a high income.
“Sister-in-law, Jiang Ming can’t help with this,” Song Qiao said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan's face immediately darkened.
"However, I can talk to my dad. He's the one who makes the decisions in the company."
Song Qiao needs Zhang Xiaodong to help Song Jianguo establish prestige.
Hearing this, Liu Yan, who had just been sullen, suddenly beamed with joy: "Song Qiao, really? It has to be you. The bond between us sisters is still the deepest."
After saying this, Liu Yan glanced at Song Qiao, who seemed hesitant to speak.
"Sister-in-law, didn't I tell you? Just tell me what's wrong. There are no outsiders here."
Liu Yan hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "I heard from my husband Xiaodong that your husband is in charge of the company and the old man has stepped down. I thought it was true?"
Song Qiao looked at Liu Yan with feigned surprise: "Are you bragging? Is he the chairman or is my dad the chairman?"
Hearing this, Song Qiao turned to look at Liu Yan: "What else did Brother Xiaodong say?"
Song Qiao knew that Liu Yan couldn't keep anything to herself, and since she had promised to help, she would definitely tell her everything she knew.
"And you said... Let me tell you, don't you dare betray my Xiaodong, or Jiang Ming will kick my husband out."
"I won't tell him, don't worry."
After reassuring Liu Yan, Song Qiao said, "I haven't told you yet, sister-in-law, I'm back at work. I'm the project manager now."
"what?"
Liu Yang's eyes sparkled under the lights. She glanced at the groups of people coming out of the store and whispered, "Xiaodong said that your husband has a secretary named Zhao Xiaoya, and their relationship seems to be inappropriate."
After saying this, Liu Yan hurriedly added, "I'm just saying it seems to be true, and it's just something someone else said. Don't take it seriously. The reason your sister-in-law is so talkative is because she's afraid that you, Jiang Ming, are cheating on her with other women."
Song Qiao thought to herself: They stole them long ago, even the children belong to them.
“Sister-in-law, I know what you mean. Don’t worry. How about this, I’ll have Brother Xiaodong come to my office tomorrow. I’ll check on the situation at the construction site and take him to meet my father.”
Song's Construction currently has the largest number of projects in Jiangcheng. At its peak, it had ten project sites. Although the real estate market is currently sluggish, it still has nine.
The project team is responsible for keeping track of the progress of these projects, the supply of building materials, quality inspection, and the budget for new projects.
Of course, the chairman has the most power, followed by the president. The president also has a lot of responsibilities, including finance, logistics, and engineering quality.
But Song Qiao is the chairman's daughter and also the project manager. Some of her work can be done without going through the president; she can report directly to the chairman. This is why Jiang Ming hates Song Qiao so much.
Song Qiao drove Liu Yan home.
After parking the car, the two went upstairs.
Upon reaching the second floor, Liu Yan still grabbed Song Qiao, asking, "Did you remember everything I told you tonight?"
"I'll remember that, sister-in-law."
Liu Yan was relieved and went inside, while Song Qiao went upstairs as well.
This time, Song Qiao didn't knock; she simply opened the door with her key.
Upon entering, I found Zhang Dalan and Jiang Ming watching TV in the living room, both of them with frosty expressions on their faces.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Dalan looked at Song Qiao's hands and found them empty. Finally, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are the clothes you bought for me?"
"They were all discounted items, and the quality wasn't good, so I didn't buy them."
Song Qiao glanced at Jiang Ming without changing her expression: "Where's Xiao Ran?"
When Jiang Ming saw Song Qiao return empty-handed, he felt a little uncomfortable, but considering that she hadn't bought any clothes herself, he didn't say anything.
Zhang Dalan didn't want to get involved in this. They had clearly agreed to go out and buy her clothes tonight, and now she was saying the quality was bad. Who was she trying to fool?
"Song Qiao, are you kidding me? You're never home, and I heard from my son that you even bought a five-million-dollar luxury car. Are you trying to cause trouble?"
