Chapter 582
“It’s hard for ah Yi to still remember his grandfather’s health, and it’s hard for you to specially find such a pot.”
“It’s a good teapot!” Old master PEI was playing with the pot when he heard old lady PEI’s words. He leaned over and interrupted.
It was indeed a good teapot. Usually, such a teapot would not be easily taken out after being kept for many years in the hands of a collector. Money was secondary to Jiang SE’s ability to buy it. However, it was clear that she had put in a lot of effort to make others part with it.
Old master PEI held the pot and played with it fondly. He even pulled a few of his sons to play with him.
PEI Yi’s mother asked about Jiang SE’s work overseas. After some time, she asked casually, ”
“When you were returning to the country a few days ago, did you meet someone at the airport who gave you a hard time?”
When the PEI family’s second Madam heard this, she did not say anything. Old Madam PEI looked at Jiang se, who said, ”
“It’s not difficult, it’s just that we have different ideas.”
She didn’t take the opportunity to complain and ask the PEI family to stand up for her, especially when she had just arrived at the PEI family and had already given them a large number of gifts, and they were all to everyone’s liking. This kind of temperament made lady PEI’s eyes soften.
PEI Yi was her only son. Ever since he was born, he had been held in her palms and held in her mouth. She had looked at him like an eyeball.
He had been infatuated with Feng Nan when he was young. One of them had awakened too early, while the other had been ignorant. In fact, she had been quite worried about her son.
PEI Yi was a stubborn man. Back then, he had been wholeheartedly devoted to Feng Nan, and lady PEI had even felt that it was a pity for him for a long time. Because of their age difference, Feng Nan had always treated him as a younger brother.
Initially, he thought that if this relationship between childhood sweethearts dragged on, no one would know how it would end. To his surprise, PEI Yi suddenly stopped and turned to Jiang se.
As he chased, he became serious.
In the beginning, lady PEI was rather conflicted about Jiang se. She did not come from a good family background and was in the entertainment industry. She was also too beautiful. She was afraid that Jiang se would end up with PEI Yi because she was greedy for glory.
In her heart, she actually preferred Feng Nan’s personality-quiet, well-mannered, gentle, refined, well-educated, and well-mannered.
However, when PEI Yi brought Jiang SE Home for the first time, lady PEI had noticed that Jiang se was different from what she had imagined.
Before she came to the PEI family, she should have known about PEI Yi’s family background. However, after she came, she did not show any signs of happiness. Compared to Feng Nan, who had come to the PEI family’s house to talk arrogantly, not only did she not lose, but her behavior also attracted lady PEI’s attention.
A family like the PEI family hated it when their family members were too ostentatious. In the next few years, even though she was in the entertainment industry and her every move was under the scrutiny of the media, her relationship with PEI Yi had never been exposed.
Such an action, whether or not she had deliberately restrained herself, had won the PEI family’s favor.
In addition, she had a good image in the industry, a good reputation among the audience, and few scandals. Whether it was before or after she became famous, she lived a simple life and did not do anything out of character. This increased the PEI family’s impression of her, which was why they acquiesced when PEI Yi proposed to her.
It was a virtue to keep a humble and low-key attitude when one did not know one’s beauty and excellence.
However, to be able to maintain a humble and low-key character despite knowing one’s own advantages, one’s beauty, and one’s advantages, in lady PEI’s opinion, was much better than the former.
In the past few years, she had become the center of attention because of her endorsement with Elysees. Among them, there were many people who scolded her and thought that she could not support an ancient aristocratic car brand like Elysees. There were also many people who questioned her. It was really rare for her to be able to keep her calm and not be annoyed in such a fierce situation.
Lady PEI had heard about the resistance from some so-called socialites and upper-class ladies in China. Before Jiang se had finished her work and was on her flight back to China, she had met Mrs. Zhou and suffered from her discrimination and humiliation. At that time, she had already met PEI Yi’s parents and was engaged to him. However, she did not bring up the PEI family. Instead, she kept a low profile. This made lady PEI like her even more.
When Jiang se mentioned Mrs. Zhou, her tone was calm and she brought up the small conflict in a few words. In lady PEI’s opinion, her moral character was far better than Mrs. Zhou’s.
She did not know how the du family could raise such an outstanding child in such an environment. No wonder her ah Yi liked her so much when he saw her.
Compared to the children from the other families, PEI Yi had good taste.
“You’re right.”
Lady PEI reached out to stroke Jiang SE’s long hair and tucked it behind her ear. Her gaze was gentle.
don’t bother with her. You won’t get anything if you win. Instead, you’ll be lowering your class.
yes, ” Jiang se replied. She then smiled and said, ”
our family doesn’t want to stoop to her level. We just don’t think it’s necessary. But your grandfather is the most protective of his people. Since she has offended him, we can’t just let it go.
In the past, the words of Mrs. Zhou and the other ‘socialites’ were just ‘small squabbles’ between the younger generation in lady PEI’s eyes, and she didn’t put them in her eyes.
However, if Mrs. Zhou’s behavior was too much, she would be bullying the child for having no parents.
Jiang se was a little surprised. The ” Grandpa ” lady PEI was referring to was definitely not Feng Zhongliang but old master PEI. She was a little puzzled. Why would old master PEI need to help her with such a small matter?
“Did Grandpa do something?”
“Your grandfather said that if there’s a conflict between children, they should fight it out on their own. The adults can’t interfere. If the adults interfere, it’ll be against the rules!”
Old lady PEI smiled and said,
when we were young, when Yi and ru ning were fighting, your grandfather didn’t even allow adults to interfere. He even said,’whoever dares to fight, he’ll fight too’.
Jiang se could not help but chuckle when she heard this.
PEI Yi had been training in combat since he was young and had excellent physical fitness. Nie dan and the others were no match for him at all and were almost completely suppressed.
A few of his childhood friends were in conflict and fighting. Nie dan, Cheng runing, and the others were beaten until they cried every time. The parents were probably distressed and wanted to pull their children away.
Once old master PEI stopped him, he was clearly cheating and deliberately letting his grandson ‘bully’ others.
With his status, if he said ‘the child’s matter will be settled by the child’, who would dare to say no?
It was probably because they had been beaten up too many times when they were young that they grew up to be afraid of PEI Yi and follow his lead. Even when they caused trouble, they would follow his lead.
She couldn’t help but laugh. Old lady PEI also laughed when she recalled the events of her childhood and brought up the Zhou family.
“That’s why your grandfather gave the Zhou family something to do, so that the adults won’t be idle.”
Jiang se did not expect old master PEI to do this. In the past, she had always seen PEI Yi being protected by his elders. She did not expect herself to be one of them. She could not help but lean on old lady PEI’s shoulder.
“Grandpa is so good to me.” Old lady PEI was extremely pleased with how close she was to her. She held her hand and said affectionately,
“My Yi only likes you. If we don’t treat you well, who should we be good to?”
Jiang se knew this very well. When she asked what old master PEI had done, lady PEI said, ”
...
the Zhou family is in the real estate business. In recent years, their business focus has been on the southeast province.
In recent years, Jingtai group had been focused on real estate, and their business had been doing very well. In the past few years, Zhou Wei had been quick-witted and well-informed, and after getting through to the upper echelons and learning that the future development direction of the political situation would be focused on the Nandong province, he had set Jingtai real estate as his main target.
In recent years, with the rise of the south-east economy, the price of Jingtai property had skyrocketed, which was also the main reason for the rise of its stock price, and the rise of Zhou Wei’s net worth.
It would be difficult for others to stop Jingtai’s development. After all, Jingtai had been in the south-east region for a long time and had a strong foundation. In recent years, it had developed into a top-tier brand in the real estate industry in China. Its reputation and reputation were quite good.
However, to the PEI family, it was easy, especially when old master PEI was doing it personally.
He only instructed the Nandong province government to release a batch of land, killing two birds with one stone.
Jing tai had always been the leader of the southeast province’s real estate industry, occupying the majority of the market. In layman’s terms, Zhou Wei had the meat, while the others had the soup.
The government had been keeping the land under tight wraps. The land that was rarely released was all taken by Jing tai. This had caused a shortage of property, and the price of property had skyrocketed to the point where it was hard to find a house.
In recent years, Zhou Wei’s business had been doing well, and he had repeatedly appeared in the headlines of the business section, becoming an elite figure in the real estate industry.
However, old master PEI’s actions clearly broke his monopoly.
Once the government released the land, real estate developers who wanted to enter the south-east region would seize the opportunity to buy the land and disrupt Jing Tai’s position in the south-east region.
...
First, it would alleviate the suffering of the locals due to the extremely high housing prices. Second, it would destroy Jing Tai’s monopoly. At the same time, it would solve the difficulties of many people who could not buy a house. It would lower the housing prices and benefit the people.
The only one who had a headache was Zhou Wei from Jingtai group, but his wife was too free. If she found something for him to do, there would be more trouble, and his wife and daughter would no longer be in the mood to keep an eye on the things between the ‘younger generation’.
The older the ginger, the spicier it would be. Old master PEI’s actions were far more satisfying than Jiang SE’s actual fight with Mrs. Zhou.
“It’s mainly because once people have their ambitions, they’ll be ostentatious and forget about their unhappy days.”
Old Madam PEI patted Jiang SE’s hand and did not mention the Zhou family again.
After the official website of Elysees officially added Jiang SE’s name as their spokesperson, they had also set the official release date for leopard to be on the 11th of February the following year. Based on China’s time, it would be two days before the Chinese New Year.
At the same time, Elysees was expected to hold a press conference on the 25th of December. At that time, the official website and various major channels would officially broadcast Jiang SE’s commercial for leopard. At the same time, the day of the commercial would also be shown. Jiang SE’s leopard would be available for reservation by Chinese customers.
The venue was the Pearl Exhibition Center in front of Huaxia Times Square. The tickets would be released later.
As soon as the news spread, almost all of Elysees ‘official website and social media accounts were attacked by netizens.
Elysees ‘sports car had become rather famous in China due to the dispute over the endorsement between Tao cen and Jiang se. Later on, with Mrs. Zhou and the others’ comments on this matter, the leopard series had become very popular even before it was on sale.
Many people were guessing what kind of car would make the Elysees company pay 10 million dollars for the endorsement, offend Tao cen and her fans, and insist on using Jiang se as the spokesperson despite Mrs. Zhou and the others ‘threats of’ not buying’.
However, the Elysees company had done a good job of keeping the car’s appearance, performance, and privacy. To this day, this sports car was still shrouded in a layer of mystery.
The industry was not optimistic about the sales of the Elysees car. They felt that the Elysees company had already offended many upper-class customers. Even if they held a Grand press conference this time, it might be difficult to salvage their disadvantage in China.
The tickets to the press conference had not been officially released on the internet, but they were already hyped up very high. In addition to the price, one had to have deep connections to get them.
As the spokesperson for the Elysees, Jiang se naturally had to attend the event.
Before Elysees had officially released the news, they had already informed her in advance. Xia Chaoqun had long since ordered a gown for her. This event was to be attended on behalf of the brand she endorsed, so it was not considered a violation of the company’s ‘ban’ on her.
A few days before attending the event, Xia Chaoqun had been very strict with her diet and sleep. On the day of the Elysees press conference, other than inviting celebrities from all over the world, media reporters were also invited. Tao cen was also present. As everyone was waiting for Jiang se to make a fool of herself, she became even more energetic.
Tao cen was also busy with her preparations. The press conference that Elysees was holding for leopard was a good opportunity for her.
She put on a face mask and closed her eyes to listen to Song Yi.
sister Tao, Elysees has sent out some invitations. This time, the scale of leopard’s press conference is too big. It was the right move for Elysees to make a name for themselves.
After the incident had blown up, the tickets that were issued by the Elysees were already hard to get. Therefore, most of the people who received the tickets would attend the event.
among the names of the people who received the tickets, there’s Mrs. Zhou and her daughter, Mrs. Weng from Meitian, Wanwan.
He called out a few names in a row. These names were all Tao cen’s fans. They were also the socialites who were on good terms with Mrs. Zhou during the incident with the Elysees. They had all told the media that they did not think highly of Jiang se as the spokesperson for leopard.
“They’ve all expressed that they’ll boycott Jiang se and leopard, the sports car. At the press conference of Elysees, we will also try our best to order other cars from Elysees so that Elysees can see your value.”
When Song Yi said this, his tone was filled with joy.
sister Tao, if these fans of yours really work together and buy cars from other brands of Elysees during the product launch, no one will buy the leopard series, which Elysees is promoting. Its sales will not be as good as the other models. Jiang se will be embarrassed.
At the same time, it would also make the people from the Elysees company realize Tao cen’s importance. They would then be able to gauge who was more important between Jiang se and Tao cen.
At this moment, mo Anqi was also anxious. She had already thought of what song Yi would do.
However, Xia Chaoqun did not take any action. Mo Anqi herself was only an assistant. Although she had been working for Jiang se for the past few years and had formed a good relationship with many people in the industry, the price of the new sports car Elysees had just launched had not been announced yet. However, the fact that they were willing to pay such a high endorsement fee to hire Jiang se to endorse their new sports car showed that they were worth a lot.
This was not an egg or a scallion. It was something that an ordinary person could easily spend. No matter how anxious she was to invite someone, even if they could enter the press conference organized by the Elysees, they might not be able to buy a car.
In this regard, Tao cen, who had endorsed Elysees for many years and was extremely popular in China, had a much greater advantage than Jiang se.
