After the heroine of the sad novel awakens, she no longer wants to be the president's wife

"Oh?" Chu Jiao looked at Zhao Jinmian with interest, fiddling with the cup in her hand. "Senior, do you mean to try something new?"

Zhao Jinmian's eyes did not move, and he looked at Chu Jiao meaningfully, "This proposal... is very good!"

At this time, the waiter came over with a menu in his hand, "Sir, Madam, would you like to order now?"

Chu Jiao put down the cup and admired her enemy's expression with interest, then said quietly, "One of your most expensive dishes, thank you..."

The waiter looked at Zhao Jinmian with some surprise, as if he was confirming something.

Zhao Jinmian just smiled helplessly, "Just follow what the lady said, one portion of the most expensive one."

After the waiter left, Chu Jiao couldn't help but mutter, "After all, he is the CEO now. He smells like money all over his body, and even his stinginess has eased a bit!"

Zhao Jinmian's eyes became deep, and he looked at Chu Jiao vaguely, as if he was recalling something.

He thought that he was not a stingy person, and that these two words had nothing to do with him. The thing that a noble family like theirs had the most was money.

The reason why Chu Jiao always said that he was stingy was because of an orange candy he gave her in college.

Ever since the incident in the infirmary, he had something more in his pocket than usual...orange candy!

The habit of carrying orange candies with him has continued since the day she fed him the orange candies.

Every time she was beaten up, she would reward herself with a piece of orange candy.

She had just finished training that day and her body was covered with scars, like a little mud monkey, and he happened to see her while passing by.

She sniffed and was about to cry, but she held it back and habitually rummaged in her pocket for orange candy.

For some reason, he was naturally cold-hearted, but without even thinking, he took a few steps forward and stuffed an orange candy into her mouth.

His fingers stroked her soft lips. She opened her mouth blankly, looking at him confusedly, as if someone had pressed her mute point, with tears in her eyes that she hadn't had time to cry out.

At that moment he just felt inexplicably nervous and said casually, "Remember to return it to me," and fled.

Thinking about that scene now, it was still as beautiful as a fairy tale. Before he walked away, Chu Jiao said softly, "Stingy..."

Unexpectedly, this incident caused Chu Jiao to misunderstand for so many years, so that now she thinks he is stingy.

There was a little more tenderness in his eyes. He casually took out two orange candies from his pocket, peeled them and put them to her mouth, "Don't say I'm stingy in the future..."

This behavior was a bit childish, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and then a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Chu Jiao put the orange candy into her mouth, then smiled with her eyebrows curved, "This time... I won't return it!"

Her tone was still tender and gentle, with a hint of roguery in it, and Zhao Jinmian just felt that she always had a way to heal her.

If she hadn't worked so hard since she was a child, he might not have been able to persist until now.

He should thank her...

In his world, she was like the orange candy in his mouth, slightly sweet but with a hint of sourness.

The smile on his face became even more pure, "This time... you don't have to pay it back."

Chu Jiao smiled and continued, "Senior, you are not looking for me today just to reminisce about the past, right?

Tell me, is this money spent wisely a good thing or a bad thing? "

In comparison, Chu Jiao wanted to know more about Zhao Jinmian's purpose in asking her out. Now, their two companies, Zhao and Chu, have nothing to do with each other and are totally unrelated!

"I heard that you are planning to register the Chu Group in the island country..." Seeing that she was getting to the point, Zhao Jinmian went straight to the point.

Chu Jiao was slightly stunned, then looked at Zhao Jinmian in confusion, "How did you know that, Senior?"

She had only instructed Liyun to do this in the past two days and had not made it public at all. Could it be that the Zhao family also has a network of connections in the island country?

"You should know that what we have the most is intelligence...

You want to formalize 24th Street, manage the gang through the company, and gradually formalize the overseas industry, right? "Zhao Jinmian said this almost directly to her.

Chu Jiao spread her hands. In that case, she had nothing to hide. Besides, she had always wanted to make this a big deal. The more people knew about it, the better. "What do you mean, Senior?"

Zhao Jinmian was happy that she didn't hide anything, and then he said calmly, "As far as I know, Honda has been targeting you. He wants your 24th Street. I'm afraid that the several gangs arranged by the Chu family have been almost eaten up by him!"

Chu Jiao couldn't help but frown when she heard him say that. It was indeed true. Even she herself was not sure how many people Honda had placed in the Chu family and around her.

Not to mention the Infernal Affairs in the gang, she even suspected that there were undercover agents in the Chu Group, so she was anxious to purge them, reshuffle the cards, and transfer the positions of the senior executives.

This is the answer to the question she asked Liyun...

"That's right, since you know about it, I have nothing to hide. There is indeed a problem on 24th Street. The main reason is that Chu's company is gradually getting back on track, so there is no way to make quick money with the brothers.

For example, drugs... gambling... lending...

Many of those people have gangster habits and are not willing to share dividends in a proper manner.

Moreover, even if it is a joint-stock company, the Chu family does not have the strength in the island country to lead them to make more money.

Maybe they can make more money from smuggling drugs or setting up a pig-killing scheme online than from dividends.

This is the key issue of 24th Street. The policy that Chu wants to operate legally has affected their ability to make money and has affected their cake and eat into it. "

Zhao Jinmian nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that she saw it very clearly. "In this case, you should know that Chu's branch is not suitable for entering the island market. The risk is too great."

Chu Jiao also understood this. Once Chu’s branch in the island country collapsed, it would affect the entire Chu’s stock market.

But if you open a small company there, it will have no deterrent effect at all and cannot compete with local competitors. Those people on 24th Street will not bother to be shareholders of a small company.

She had thought about this problem, but... the conditions she had did not allow it!

24th Street has currently sidelined the Chu Group. She cannot reshuffle the cards even if she wants to. No matter how many people she sends, all she gets back are corpses.

Seeing her frown, Zhao Jinmian continued, "I want to cooperate with you on the island country project!"

Chu Jiao raised her head almost instantly after she finished speaking. She looked at Zhao Jinmian in confusion, "Why?"

This is a mess, and there is even a 60% chance that he will lose everything. Why should he take the risk?

Zhao Jinmian still had a smile on his face, making it hard to tell what he was thinking. "Two reasons. First, our Zhao family is gradually becoming legal in China, and the six gangs need to find a new place to stay.

Second, the day my schoolmate gave me the orange candy, I thought about giving up my life, as a way of repaying her for saving my life! "
