"Don't be afraid, this spicy shredded squid needs to be stir-fried to taste good."
Ding Ning calmly began to shake the wok rhythmically, and the dishes were constantly tossed into the air. The fierce fire in the wok was extinguished, and a strong spicy fragrance spread out.
Looking at the spicy squid on the plate, Du Mosheng and his mother couldn't help but swallow.
Taking advantage of Ding Ning's unpreparedness, Qiao Xinyu quietly pinched a shredded squid and stuffed it into her mouth. The fresh and spicy taste instantly exploded between her taste buds, making her close her eyes with an intoxicated look.
Was it so delicious? Mom was too exaggerated, wasn't it?
Du Mosheng stared at his mother in bewilderment. He smelled the tempting fragrance that assailed his nostrils, and then looked at the bright and appetizing plate of shredded squid. He swallowed his saliva quietly. He really wanted to try it.
Tasting it shouldn't be considered a loss, right? Yes, how would he know if it was delicious if he didn't taste it?
Du Mosheng secretly found a dignified reason for himself, and quietly reached out to pinch a shredded squid and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes widened in an instant. My God, this … how could it be so delicious?
Qiao Xinyu glared at her daughter fiercely, and quietly reached out to pinch the second … the third … the innumerable …
Du Mosheng glanced at his mother with disgust. She was a lady from a respectable family, but she was actually addicted to stealing food. It was so shameful.
But it was really delicious, and he really wanted to eat another one.
Hmph, it's not that the guy's cooking is delicious, it's just a shredded squid that I can't taste at all.
Yes, that's it.
Du Mosheng made up a reason for stealing food for himself, and very spinelessly reached out his evil little hand.
So …
Ding Ning, who was concentrating on stir-frying, didn't realize that a fresh plate of spicy shredded squid had completely disappeared in a short period of time, leaving only an empty plate that was cleaner than his face.
After realizing that they couldn't help but eat the spicy shredded squid, the mother and daughter looked at each other and quietly hid the empty plate with great tacit understanding.
…
In the supreme private room of the Purple Star Pavilion Clubhouse, four expressionless bodyguards in black stood straight in front of the door like door gods, with an expression that warned strangers not to approach.
In the room, in front of a long table covered with a snow-white tablecloth, a middle-aged but still charming noblewoman with an elegant temperament took a sip of red wine gracefully. She slowly put down the glass and looked at the middle-aged man who was using a knife and fork to cut his steak. She asked softly in confusion, "Old Zhou, what are you thinking? Although that business goddess has some ability and is not bad looking, she is not worthy of our Qi 'er, right? What are you thinking? He even made such a big fuss and arranged for Qi 'er to propose on the spot. "
The middle-aged man put the cut steak into his mouth unhurriedly. After chewing it twice, a faint smile appeared on his dignified face. "Since I did this, I naturally have my reasons."
The noblewoman glared at him discontentedly and said worriedly, "You know that Scarlet has always liked Qi 'er. Thanks to her support, our Zhou Family's overseas business can develop so smoothly all these years. In my heart, she is the Zhou Family's most ideal daughter-in-law. Once she knows that Qi' er likes someone else, I'm afraid that she will secretly attack the Zhou Family's overseas business because of jealousy. This is not in line with our Zhou Family's interests."
"Although Princess Scarlet is good, Qi 'er doesn't like her. Isn't this reason enough?"
The middle-aged man picked up a snow-white napkin to wipe his hands and said indifferently.
The noblewoman frowned unhappily and said unhappily, "Alright, don't keep me in suspense and don't tell me nonsense like you want to help Qi 'er. I know you've always been the type of person who won't do anything unless it benefits you. The family's interests are your heart.
The family's interests are always the first. Tell me, what are you planning? Although Longteng Group has mastered the ice-free refrigeration technology and has developed quite well, it shouldn't be enough for you to take it seriously. "
The middle-aged man slowly took out a cigar and lit it. After taking a deep breath and puffing out the smoke, he leaned back comfortably, narrowed his eyes, and said with a chuckle, "Jia Min, we have been husband and wife for so many years, but you know me best."
"Tell me, I'm very curious. What is the reason that makes you disregard the family's interests overseas and strongly support Qi 'er's pursuit of the so-called business goddess?"
The noblewoman called Jia Min picked up the red wine glass and gently swirled it. Her tone was full of disdain for the business goddess.
It sounded very powerful to have millions of Mi's worth of capital make tens of billions on Wall Street. In fact, it was indeed very powerful. But in the eyes of the noblewoman, he was just a financial speculator with good luck and was not worthy of being her daughter-in-law.
"Haha, even if Longteng Group has the core technology of ice-free refrigeration, it is indeed not enough for me, Zhou Junxiong, but …"
Zhou Junxiong showed a complacent smile as if he had the pearl of wisdom in hand. "According to the information I have investigated, Ding Qianlie is not only the chairman of Longteng Group."
"Oh, does she have any other identity?"
Jia Min suddenly became interested, leaned forward slightly, and asked curiously.
Zhou Junxiong smiled mysteriously and raised his eyebrows. "She is also the second largest shareholder of Shengtang Medical Company, holding 30% of the shares of Shengtang Medical Company."
"Shengtang Medical Company? Which big consortium is it? Why haven't I heard of it? "
Jia Min repeated doubtfully and tried hard to search for the information of this pharmaceutical company in her memory. Unfortunately, she failed. No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't remember any large international pharmaceutical company called Shengtang Pharmaceutical Company.
Zhou Junxiong slowly took a puff of the cigar. It seemed that Jia Min's reaction was not beyond his expectation. He said indifferently, "It's not a big consortium. It's a domestic pharmaceutical company that has just been established."
Jia Min was even more puzzled. She didn't ask but just looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
She knew her man too well. He was definitely a profiteer who would not get up early without profit. They had been married for 30 years, but she had never seen him do anything without profit. Since he risked offending Princess Scarlet this time to bring his eldest son to pursue the business goddess, he must have enough return.
"Rice Bean Oral Solution."
Zhou Junxiong smiled mysteriously and said these words softly. Then, he was calm and didn't speak anymore.
"I see."
Jia Min's eyes suddenly lit up, and she showed a look of sudden enlightenment. The questions in her heart were also easily solved.
As a member of a wealthy business family, she had the most sensitive sense of business opportunities. How could she not be tempted by the Rice Bean Oral Solution that had recently been hyped overseas?
Although she had no impression of Shengtang Pharmaceutical Company, she immediately realized it when Zhou Junxiong mentioned the Rice Bean Oral Solution. It was the only designated manufacturer of the Rice Bean Oral Solution at present. This was an old hen that could lay golden eggs. Even if she only owned 30% of the shares, it was worth a vote.
Of course, based on her understanding of Zhou Junxiong, 30% of the shares were far from meeting his psychological expectations. This was just the first step of his plan. He would first take 30% of the shares to participate in the company's business, and then slowly encroach on other shares. Finally, he would completely control Shengtang Pharmaceutical Company and provide a new source of wealth for the Zhou family.
Compared with the huge profits that the Rice Bean Oral Solution would bring, the Zhou family's business in Europe was nothing. It was not a pity to give up all of them.
Others thought that the Zhou family had a great business and were very envious, but only one knew the temperature of the water.
It was not so easy for Shenzhou people to do business overseas. Those foreign devils were polite on the surface, but in fact, they looked down on and even rejected Shenzhou people from the bottom of their hearts. It was not uncommon for them to deliberately make things difficult or even find fault with them.
Zhou's Consortium was internationally famous, but its overseas business was not very profitable. It barely maintained its profitability by relying on the domestic industry support and the help of Princess Scarlet.
Of course, this barely maintained profitability was only for the Zhou family, who had long been accustomed to high profits. For ordinary people, the meager profit was still a huge fortune that they could only hope for but not obtain.
The difficulties and bitterness of opening up a source of wealth overseas could not be understood by those who had not experienced it.
Jia Min, as Zhou Junxiong's wife and the helmsman in charge of overseas affairs of Zhou's Consortium, had a deep understanding of this.
"Shenzhou is the world's largest consumer market. I intend to gradually shift the focus of the family back to China. Of course, we also need to earn money from the foreign devils, but the way to earn money has to change. As long as we can control Shengtang Pharmaceutical Company, we will not be begging the foreign devils to do business, but the foreign devils will come to us to beg, hahaha."
Thinking of the bright future prospects, Zhou Junxiong laughed complacently.
"But she has a good reputation. Since Ding Qianlie can be called the Business Goddess, it shows that she is very business-minded. How could she not see the huge business opportunity? How could she obediently hand over the shares of Shengtang Pharmaceutical Company?"
Jia Min was also very excited, but she did not let it get to her head. Instead, she asked with some worry.
"She is just a woman. Even if she is a Business Goddess, so what? She has already blessed her ancestors by marrying into our Zhou family. If she is sensible, she will obediently hand over the shares of Shengtang Pharmaceutical Company. Otherwise, haha, I don't mind … "
Zhou Junxiong's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he made a throat-cutting gesture on his neck with his hand.
Hearing this, Jia Min nodded in agreement, as if it was a matter of course.
As long as her son married her, once she died, her son would be able to inherit all of her assets. This plan was perfect.
As for the fact that murder was against the law, so what? As long as they did it cleanly, no one could trace it to them. Even if it was traced to them, it didn't matter. They were the privileged class, and human lives were nothing.
It should be known that the operation of capital was often accompanied by hands full of blood and corpses. In order to make enough profits, these so-called successful people, who looked glamorous on the surface, had done some shady things. The only difference was that they did it themselves or let others do it.
For a woman like Jia Min, who was born in a rich and powerful business family, this kind of thing had long been common, so it was not surprising.
Of course, they had never thought that Ding Qianlie would not accept this marriage. They were from the rich and powerful Zhou family, and no woman would refuse to marry into the Zhou family.
But what they did not know was that when they talked unscrupulously, thinking that there were only two of them in the room, the ears of the four bodyguards in black at the door moved at the same time. After looking at each other, they all saw the cold light flashing in each other's eyes.
"No, we must inform the general. The Zhou family is really courting death. How dare they covet the First Young Mistress!"
A bodyguard in black vigilantly looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he said in an almost inaudible voice.
"After they finish eating, we will find a chance to inform the general, so as not to alert the enemy."
Another bodyguard in black said in a deep voice.
