The boss of a wealthy family is too clingy, and the beautiful secretary wants to quit

Jiang Hongxi has experienced ups and downs in the business world for decades, and has built the glory of the Jiang family today.

He not only did not dislike Jiang Huainian's ambition, but he also had deep admiration for it. In his opinion, young people should be energetic and ambitious.

"Huai Nian, you have big ambitions."

Jiang Huaian smiled slightly, but his eyes were sharp, and he slowly said: "Grandpa, my own company has just been listed. If I return to the group, I will just be in a position that is neither up nor down. This has no appeal to me at all."

Jiang Hongxi raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of temptation and warning in his tone, "If you do this, won't you be riding on the heads of your two uncles?"

Jiang Huainian did not back down. He met Jiang Hongxi's gaze and said, "Grandpa, the business world is like a battlefield. What matters is strength and strategy. The position belongs to the capable. This is the most basic rule. If my two uncles were qualified for the position of general manager, it would not have been vacant for a year."

After Jiang Hongxi heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he laughed: "Well, he is indeed my grandson, Jiang Hongxi, courageous and ambitious!"

He paused, looked at Jiang Huainian with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "The position of general manager of the group is not so easy to sit on."

Jiang Huaian smiled and said, "If it were easy, it would be boring."

Jiang Hongxi nodded. "Okay, since you are determined, I will give you a chance. But remember, the business world is like a battlefield. You have to win not only my support, but more importantly, convince all shareholders and bring them huge profits."

His eyes became cunning, and the smile on his face deepened. He held Jiang Huaian's shoulders tightly and said, "I'll give you one year to increase the group's profits by 20%. If you can do it, then the position of general manager will naturally be yours. If you can't do it, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Jiang Huaian's lips curled up into a confident smile.

The rural area is full of the festive atmosphere, which makes the whole village full of joy. The sound of firecrackers can be heard everywhere in the village.

After lunch, Li Xuehai took them out to experience the New Year atmosphere in the countryside.

An Ran was wearing a red cashmere coat and had her hair tied into a bun, which made her look particularly bright and charming.

They walked along the path and met many villagers along the way. These simple folks greeted them warmly and looked at An Ran and An Yunxin, the two people from the city, curiously.

After they left.

"Isn't that the eldest son of the Li family?" a villager said, pointing at Li Xuehai.

"I remember that his daughter-in-law passed away many years ago," recalled another villager.

"Well, he just remarried at the end of this year, and his new wife is really pretty," someone commented.

"No wonder so many people wanted to introduce him to someone but he rejected them all."

"Hey, is that her daughter?" Someone noticed An Ran and asked curiously.

"That should be the case. She's prettier than the stars on TV," he exclaimed.

For a long time afterwards, the villagers' after-dinner conversations could not avoid talking about them.

Li Xuehai took them to the village market, where the stalls were filled with all kinds of New Year's goods.

There are vendors selling candied haws, fried rice cakes, homemade melon seeds and dried fruits, as well as various couplets and blessing characters.

Li Xuehai pointed to a stall selling candied haws and said, "This is the most famous candied haws in our village. You can try some." He bought a few strings of candied haws and handed them to An Yunxin and An Ran.

An Yunxin took it with a smile and said, "Ranran likes these things the most."

An Ran couldn't wait to take a bite, "It tastes like my childhood!"

An Yunxin looked at her daughter's satisfied expression and couldn't help but laugh: "She's old enough to get married, but she's still like a child."

An Ran coquettishly hugged An Yunxin's arm and pouted, "I won't marry and will stay with you forever."

An Yunxin pinched her nose and said with a smile: "We need to ask Huai Niantong if he agrees."

Anran smiled shyly.

Li Xuehai smiled and changed the subject, "It's almost time, let's go back and put up the Spring Festival couplets."

As soon as they returned home, they saw Li Hao walking into the yard with a smile on his face and a bag of firecrackers in his hand, as if he was carrying the excitement and joy of the entire Spring Festival.

"Ranran, look what I bought?" Li Hao smiled and shook the firecrackers in his hand.

An Ran took a closer look out of curiosity and saw a large string of red firecrackers with golden threads wrapped around them.

She blinked and smiled, “This firecracker is quite powerful, isn’t it?

Li Xuehai said with a smile: "My goodness, this is going to blow up our village!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "I picked this specially. It has great power and loud sound, so that our ancestors can hear it more clearly!"

"Ahao, set off the firecrackers first. You are tall, come and put up the Spring Festival couplets." Grandma came out holding the Spring Festival couplets.

"Okay, grandma, I'll be right there." Li Hao responded, looking at An Ran, "Help."

An Ran smiled and said, "Okay, you are responsible for posting and I will be in charge of directing."

After that, she dipped the brush into the paste.

An Ran stood aside, with her hands behind her back, and began to direct: "Higher, higher! No, a little to the left, oops, it's too far!"

Li Hao was so flustered by her command. Li Xuehai and An Yunxin were standing aside, watching the brother and sister getting along, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

After some hard work, the Spring Festival couplets were finally pasted. Li Hao took a few steps back and admired his work.

“It’s very well pasted.”

An Ran said: "I gave good instructions."

Li Xuehai smiled and said, "All good."

At this time, the sound of firecrackers in the village began to spread one after another, and the explosions echoed in the air, pushing the New Year's atmosphere to a climax.

Li Hao said: "Let's set off firecrackers too!"

"Brother, hurry up!" Several children in the family gathered around and clapped excitedly.

"Everyone cover your ears!" Li Hao held a long string of firecrackers tightly in his hand, walked to the center of the yard, found an open place, and prepared to light the firecrackers.

He carefully lit the fuse of the firecracker with a lighter. The fuse burned quickly, releasing wisps of white smoke and making a hissing sound.

Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers crackled, and firecrackers exploded in the night sky, and red confetti flew all over the sky.

In the yard, the sound of firecrackers continued, one after another, and the children ran around screaming and laughing excitedly.

An Ran smiled and shouted, "Happy New Year!"

Grandpa stood under the eaves of the door, smiled and nodded, "Happy, everyone is happy."

In this joyful atmosphere, An Ran missed Jiang Huainian especially at this moment, so she walked to a quiet corner and made a video call to him.

Jiang Huaian answered the call quickly. The face in the video was still stunningly beautiful even without makeup or beauty filters.

A familiar female voice came, "Happy New Year!"
