Chapter 338 The Definition of Donglai

Zheng Ke and Jiang Cheng are together, which can be said to be a real steal. At least Shen Li accompanied Jiang Cheng in his struggle when he was young, and bought groceries and cooked for Jiang Cheng and some people at the beginning.

Zheng Ke got married later, which was quite pitiful. A woman lost her husband at a young age. Then she met Jiang Cheng, whom she had a crush on at the beginning.

But even so, it was not a reason for Zheng Ke to be with Jiang Cheng, a married man. Of course, Jiang Cheng was also responsible, as he did not control his desire.

Although it is not right for Shen Li to take the initiative to be with Jiang Cheng, it is understandable given the environment in Hong Kong.

But Zheng Ke lives in China. Doesn’t she know how conservative the domestic customs are for men and women? Widows are always surrounded by gossip. It’s bad enough that she hooks up with a man, but she also hooks up with a man who has a wife and children.

“You are so shameless. You will die without a man.” Zhou Lingying said angrily after listening to Zheng Ke’s story, but she was not furious.

“Sister, I admit that I made a mistake back then, but it’s really hard for me as a woman, and I want to find someone to rely on.” Zheng Ke admitted her mistake sincerely.

Zheng Ke actually wanted to refute Zhou Lingying’s words, but she didn’t dare to. Because if she refuted, she would have to say something shameless. A full man doesn’t know the hunger of a hungry man. She was widowed at a young age. She wouldn’t die without a man, but she would feel very uncomfortable.

It’s just that Zheng Ke has high standards, and in the 1980s, even a particularly outstanding man would not marry a widow. When she was with Jiang Cheng, she was also worried that Jiang Cheng’s wife would find out, but fortunately they didn’t live in the same city.

Things have come to this, it is not Zhou Lingying’s business to accept these two women or not, even if it is so-called “excusable”, it is others who took the initiative. But it is a fact that Jiang Cheng did not control himself, but this situation made Zhou Lingying feel better.

The key point now is that Jiang Cheng has disappeared, and it’s almost the New Year, so where on earth has this person gone?

The trip back to her hometown in the countryside was interrupted. Zhou Lingying was annoyed by the two women calling her sister. It was impossible for her to recognize such a sister now, but her attitude towards Jiang Cheng had changed.

Zhou Lingying hoped that Jiang Cheng would show up, and if he agreed to break up with the two women, she would be willing to forgive them. However, she knew that this idea was not easy, because her daughter Jiang Zhaozhao had tried to persuade him half a year ago.

If Jiang Cheng had agreed to stop associating with the woman and children over there half a year ago, even if Zhou Lingying didn’t sleep with Jiang Cheng, they could have lived separately but still together, just like Jiang Yan and Chen Changgen did.

The key point now is that Zhou Lingying did not expect that Jiang Cheng actually had so many assets in Hong Kong, and even the very famous “Jiang Donglai” in the country turned out to be her own.

Now that I think about it, this makes sense. If Jiang Cheng didn’t have any business in Hong Kong, how could he have obtained foreign exchange so stably in the past few years? And Zhou Lingying also felt that foreign exchange was so popular in the past, and she could make thousands of dollars by just reselling it, which was a bargain for her family.

In addition, it was so easy for Jiang Cheng to place his own people in the company in Shenzhen.

My niece Jiang Juan is able to become the general manager in Shenzhen and is now very successful in her hometown. Even my disappointing nephew Jiang Lin has also made a fortune in Shenzhen.

The Jiang family now has soy sauce factories, bottled water, and VCD businesses, which are enough to make them feel that they have more money than they can spend. But Zhou Lingying didn’t expect that her husband had a bigger business, and how could it be possible to hand over all of this business to “outsiders”.

Zhou Lingying could refuse it, but she had to fight for her own children. Although they were also Jiang Cheng’s children, they were not the same.

She was not going back to her hometown for the time being. Zhou Lingying asked Jiang Ping to go to the Oriental Hotel and book a table. She wanted to find the man, but she also wanted his assets.

Shen Li and Zheng Ke did not expect Zhou Lingying to be so decisive. They just met today and she was already talking about Jiang Cheng’s business.

Zhou Lingying asked her youngest daughter Jiang Mengmeng to take her two aunts to the restaurant first, and then held a formal family meeting at home.

“Mom, what did you say? ‘Jiangdonglai’ was set up by my dad?” Jiang Zhaozhao said in shock.

“Dad has a big hotel in Hong Kong, he’s just a driver.” Jiang Panpan said in surprise.

The other two daughters felt the same way, thinking it was too exaggerated and totally inconsistent with the impression they had of their father.

Their father Jiang Cheng has little education and he became a driver only because of luck as he was selected as a car soldier when he was serving in the army.

Jiang Cheng has been pretending to know nothing all these years. He was able to open a soy sauce factory purely by luck. He contracted the soy sauce factory by luck. It is said that it was only because he had sales channels. The contract fee for the soy sauce factory was obtained through a bank loan from Li An, the deputy district head with whom he had a good relationship.

So in the eyes of the Jiang family, their father is not good at business. Otherwise, he could make a lot of money by driving a car with the so-called Hong Kong boss and doing something casually.

When my aunt and uncle were taken to Shenzhen by my father, they became rich in a few years, and many people envied them. At that time, Jiang Zhaozhao and her friends really thought that my aunt and uncle were richer than their own family.

Now Jiang Zhaozhao and the others really didn’t expect that their father hid so deeply. The entire “Jiangdonglai” belongs to their family, but now it is handed over to the woman outside their father to manage.

“Okay, stop talking so much. You have to get back your father’s property outside. Don’t let it get taken advantage of by the women and wild children outside.” Zhou Lingying concluded.

When they go to the restaurant later, Zhou Lingying will take her children to confront the two women head-on. If they dare to take everything and don’t give a satisfactory answer, she will not tolerate the two women at all if Jiang Cheng appears in the future.

After the family meeting, the whole family went to the restaurant in the car driven by Jiang Zhaozhao.

Jiang Cheng is nowhere to be found anyway, so there is no point in being anxious. At the dinner table, Zhou Lingying was very domineering and directly asked Shen Li and Zheng Ke to hand over Jiang Cheng’s wealth in Hong Kong. Zhou Lingying was so domineering because Shen Li and Zheng Ke’s attitude towards her gave her the confidence to be the first wife.

But facing Zhou Lingying’s strong demand for property, Shen Li and Zheng Ke could not give in. They also had children, and they had to fight for it not only for themselves but also for their children.

Zhou Lingying has a son, and Shen Li also has a son. Besides, in Hong Kong, daughters also have inheritance rights.

In the restaurant, Zhou Lingying and her children were the majority, but how could Shen Li and Zheng Ke give in in such a situation?

Jiang Cheng was not here, and he was not dead, he just ran away. All those industries were under his name, and Shen Li and Zheng Ke only received dividends from their shares.

Even if Jiang Fei is now managing the hotel, in addition to her own executive salary, she is only given 15% of personal dividends. But it does not mean that Jiang Fei has 15% of the shares.

Although the Jiangdonglai company was also handed over to Shen Li and Zheng Ke for management, they mainly looked at the financial statements.

Now facing the aura of the principal wife Zhou Lingying, Shen Li and Zheng Ke still want to be with Jiang Cheng in the future, so they dare not not show any of their feelings at all.

But now that they are here, they always feel like they are dividing Jiang Cheng’s inheritance.

They argued for a while before the dishes were served, and again after the meal. Although it was not directly owned by anyone, they were only arguing about the proportion in form. As long as Jiang Cheng showed up in the future, he could revoke it if he didn’t approve. In the end, Jiang Panpan got 15% of the dividends of Xiangjiang Hotel, but she had asked for more. Jiang Panpan was the daughter of her father’s wife, so why should she get the same amount as the daughter of his father’s mistress outside?

But Jiang Fei graduated from a well-known university in Hong Kong with a major in management. In addition to Chinese and English, she can even speak Japanese. In terms of ability, Jiang Panpan can’t compete with her. Even if she is asked to join the hotel to manage, the more capable one will get more. She can’t do that.

Jiang Panpan took the dividends from the hotel mainly because she is now in the tourism industry. It would be great to have a big hotel in Hong Kong so that she can bring tourists there in the future.

As for the Jiangdonglai supermarket, it was directly divided into two parts: Hong Kong and the mainland. Jiang Zhaozhao led his team to take over the management of the domestic supermarket and had the power to control the profits.

In Hong Kong, Shen Li also has a son. Although Zheng Ke is a daughter, she is an only child.

Now we are only talking about management and profit distribution, not directly assigning the industry to anyone.

After talking for nearly an entire afternoon, Shen Li and Zheng Ke left. If they had known that Jiang Cheng was not here, they would have regretted coming here.

But after coming here, the two of them actually felt relieved. At least they had a face-to-face encounter with the principal wife, and it was not the worst situation they had imagined.

Moreover, Shen Li and Zheng Ke had never thought of letting their children take over all the so-called wealth that was being debated. But they did not expect Zhou Lingying to let her children take over part of it now.

~~
I can’t smell~I can’t smell the scent of women~.

Women are just like that.

Jiang Cheng never thought that he would become a real man at the age of 45.

In the past, it was only his moral bottom line that allowed him to restrain his dirty thoughts. When he saw beautiful, young and attractive women, he still felt emotional.

Even a few months ago, when Jiang Cheng was in Hong Kong, he thought that since Zhou Lingying and even the children there knew that he had a woman outside, he might as well indulge himself. He had plenty of money and could have any type of woman he wanted.

But he had just found one and hadn’t done anything with her before he felt bored. For the sake of the woman, he didn’t even dare to go home, for fear that Zhou Lingying would see him again and really leave Changcheng and run away.

It would be bad enough that Jiang Zhaozhao and her friends have such a promiscuous father, but if he also took their mother away, Jiang Cheng really wouldn’t know how to face his children.

Jiang Cheng exiled himself, wandering around aimlessly, wanting to see the warmth and coldness of this world.

Sometimes I see a wild cat and spend a long time trying to catch it. I fish at the riverside and patiently sort them out, put them in baskets and sell them at a stall in a small town for fun.

Later, Jiang Cheng went abroad and experienced wilderness survival. He lived unkemptly on an uninhabited island for two months.

But I still feel it’s boring, he is just a loser, self-pity. When experiencing the survival on a deserted island, he used his spatial ability every day and met a blind bear, but there was no audience around him. With his spatial ability, he really didn’t even need to pretend to be scared.

There are now two more bears in Jiang Cheng’s space, as well as other animals. As long as the early warning facilities are well built and they live in tents, survival in the wild is a joke for Jiang Cheng.

However, after experiencing life on a deserted island, Jiang Cheng wanted to buy an island, build some residential areas, and then build some supporting facilities. He would definitely have to build a port, otherwise he couldn’t park cruise ships. He could take his family to the island for vacation in the future.

It was winter in China, and Jiang Cheng had returned from abroad. After nearly half a year of escaping, Jiang Cheng felt that this was not a big deal. Even if Zhou Lingying did not forgive him, he missed his children.

Jiang Cheng was also avoiding Shen Li and Zheng Ke, because if he went there, he would definitely do that. Before Zhou Lingying forgave him, he felt really guilty about being with Shen Li and Zheng Ke.

However, even though Jiang Cheng is in China now, he does not plan to go find Zhou Lingying during the New Year, so as to avoid her seeing him and feeling upset during the New Year.

At present, Jiang Cheng is traveling around many cities in the country, mainly checking some food problems.

“Mou Donglai” did not become popular until more than 20 years later, but its popularity is actually a kind of sadness. Some things that are very normal abroad have become a trend in China.

“Mou Donglai” was completely supported by its peers, but its popularity also showed that the domestic food safety issue was already urgent at that time.

The food additives of many products are indeed safe in some departments because there is a standard. But when there are a lot of edible additives in everything, then it is really safe.

Jiang Cheng visited food companies in many cities and found many problems. However, the main problem was hygiene. There were not so many types of additives now, but the so-called saccharin and pigments had begun to be abused.

There is one product in particular, which is made purely of saccharin and pigments, and has huge profits.

Ice Bag is a cold drink in summer. It was first developed in Shandong a few years ago and is called 239. Now it is available in many cities.

One cent a bag, the raw materials are tap water, saccharin and pigment. A little bit of saccharin plus pigment can produce a large bucket of ice pack water, and then one cent a bag, a bucket of water can hold hundreds of bags.

The key to this thing is that in summer, after freezing, the child bites a hole in it and slowly sucks it. Then what happens is that the color of the ice bag originally with color is gone, and before sucking much, a piece of transparent ice is left inside.

In addition to this, there are spicy strips, which children also like to eat, but Jiang Cheng really can’t say where the production site is. He went to see it as a purchase for the boss. Even so, they didn’t shy away from it at all, and when he went to see it, it was not very clean.

The amount of flavor in this spicy strip is definitely excessive.

Jiang Cheng is still thinking about doing his own health inspection in another 10 or 20 years. By then he will be old and will not have the energy to go out and mess around, so he will just make a contribution.

But now Jiang Cheng feels that he has to make arrangements in advance. As a person who has lived through the 1970s, and he has the memories of the original owner, he has actually been greatly influenced by this era~.

Jiang Cheng also had a new definition for the word “Donglai” in his heart.

When he was in Hong Kong, someone asked him why his supermarket was called “Jiang Donglai”. He would superficially say that his surname was Jiang, which means “a man from the east”. He was not arrogant enough to say that he was a dragon from the east, so calling him “Jiang Donglong” was good enough.

Now Jiang Cheng wants to redefine it: Dong means Dong in Chairman’s language, which represents socialism, while Lai means Lai in Premier’s language, which represents the belief in serving the people.
