Section 212 Tea Ceremony
Jiang Xueyan suddenly jumped: "So, Dad, you promised me, don't be the heir of the Jiang family?"
"Go and go, there is no need to discuss the inheritance right. If you really want to help Jiang Haoran, don't tell me his good things and let him hone it!"
Jiang Baige waved his hand and used the reason to temper Jiang Haoran to completely block Jiang Xueyan's refusal to inheritance rights.
After Jiang Xueyan happily went upstairs, Jiang Baige turned his head and asked Wu Meiyi in a deep voice: "Why did you arrange for Xia Mingzhu and Zhu Hongyan to do this? What kind of character is that Zhu Hongyan?"
Wu Meiyi pondered for a moment before whispering: "Zhu Hongyan is Xia Mingzhu's sister-in-law, just a rural woman, but this person is very greedy and bold. She dares to do anything. If she wants to destroy Zhou Ziyan, it must be her. As for Xia Mingzhu, you didn't just help her to help her match her, I just wanted to give Zhou Ziyan a two-pronged approach, so that Xiaoxue could break free from the shackles of her feelings as soon as possible."
Jiang Baige was silent for a while before saying, "Okay, but you have to pay attention that Jinhuyuan is also one of our pillars. It is okay to ask Zhu Hongyan to cause some trouble for Zhou Ziyan, but it is okay to stop at the right time. If she completely makes her messy, it will definitely not work. On the other hand, try to think of some ways and create more opportunities so that Xia Mingzhu can be with Zhou Ziyan as soon as possible, but remember not to let Xiaoxue know everything like these two days."
Wu Meiyi and Jiang Baige are husband and wife. They have had a tacit understanding for many years. They know that Jiang Baige is not very satisfied with her appearance in Jinhuyuan these two days and are difficult for Zhou Ziyan, which makes Jiang Xueyan even more pity for Zhou Ziyan and more sympathetic to Zhou Ziyan's situation, which directly leads Jiang Xueyan to become more rebellious.
Jiang Xueyan's two hunger strikes and jumping off the building, and made his ambition clear by dying. Jiang Baige did not dare to force Jiang Xueyan too much, so many things cannot be done too explicitly.
But what really annoyed Wu Meiyi was that Zhou Ziyan not only contradicted herself, but also was silly and reluctant to leave at Jinhuyuan. However, since Jiang Baige had given a clear plan, Wu Meiyi naturally could not resist the slander and could only do it according to Jiang Baige's wishes.
The next morning, Zhou Ziyan had just finished his regular morning meeting, and Secretary Guan came to pick him up in person, and Jiang Baige invited Zhou Ziyan to have tea!
Zhou Ziyan pondered for a moment, then cleaned up a little, and then went to the Jiang family with Secretary Guan.
Jiang Family Villa, inside Jiang Baige's tea room.
Jiang Baige was cooking tea. When he saw Zhou Ziyan coming in, he only looked up slightly, looked at Zhou Ziyan, then nodded, and signaled Zhou Ziyan to sit down. After that, Jiang Baige was cooking tea on his own as if no one was around.
Zhou Ziyan didn't ask much and sat directly opposite Jiang Baige.
The utensils used by Jiang Baige to make tea are an exquisite peat stove. The charcoal inside is burning and roasting, but the container for boiling water is a slightly black purple clay teapot. The teapot is not big, and can at most contain half a pound of water. Although it is not big, it is also exquisite. It looks like a few years old. On the mahogany tea tray is a white porcelain tea cup that Zhou Ziyan used when he last drank tea, which is not much bigger than his thumb. The other tea sets such as tea drops are in red and white with the mahogany tea tray, which is very interesting.
Before the water in the teapot was opened, Jiang Baige held a palm-leaf fan and slapped the small stove from time to time, never saying a word or looking at Zhou Ziyan more.
Since Jiang Baige invited Zhou Ziyan to come and have tea, of course it is not just as simple as drinking tea. There must be very important things to talk to Zhou Ziyan.
But Jiang Baige focused on making tea, so Zhou Ziyan naturally didn't ask much, just sat opposite Jiang Baige and waited quietly.
Soon, a stream of white steam rose from the spout of the teapot, and it seemed that the water in the purple clay pot had been boiled.
Jiang Baige waited for the water to boil for a while before putting down the palm-leaf fan, put the purple clay teapot from the peat stove, and placed it on a bamboo heat insulation pad. Then he picked up two tea cups with bamboo clips, put them in a glass clean cup, and put them in the tea leaks and other utensils to be used.
Then, Jiang Baige picked up the purple clay teapot, poured it into the tea set with the water that had just been boiled. When he felt that it was almost done, Jiang Baige put down the purple clay teapot, took the bamboo clip, washed the utensils one by one, and put them back into the mahogany tea tray.
After putting it in, Jiang Baige used a teaspoon to scoop a little tea leaves in the tea box, put it in the teacup, and then poured the boiling water from the teapot into the teacup.
After just a moment of waiting, Jiang Baige decanted the tea juice from the teacup, then poured the water from the teacup into the teacup, and then covered the lid. However, the boiling water from the teacup was used up by this time and there was no drop left.
After waiting for a while, Jiang Baige picked up the brewed teacup and poured the second tea juice into the teacup. All the tea juice only poured two and half cups of tea juice. At this time, Jiang Baige turned his head and raised his chin slightly to Zhou Ziyan, indicating that Zhou Ziyan could drink tea.
Since Zhou Ziyan came in and sat down, it has been almost a moment since now, and he has only been drinking half a cup of tea juice the size of a finger.
Zhou Ziyan nodded slightly, as if he had invited tea. Then he picked up the tea cup. Before he could even put it to his mouth, a clear tea fragrance was already coming to his nose. Compared with the tea that Zhou Ziyan had drank last time, the tea used by Jiang Baige this time was more than twice as high-end.
Jiang Baige also picked up the teacup, sniffed it slightly, and then took a sip.
This tea cup is not much bigger than a finger. After Jiang Baige sipped, half of the tea juice was removed. There were very few that entered his mouth, and almost only moistened his lips and tongue. However, Jiang Baige did not swallow the already very little tea juice directly, but put it in his mouth and stirred it slightly with his tongue, and then the gangster swallowed it in his throat.
What is completely different from Jiang Baige is that Zhou Ziyan picked up the tea cup, poured the tea juice into his mouth at once, then pressed his tongue against the upper palate, swallowing the tea juice bit by bit, and then smacked his lips slightly, slowly savoring the aftertaste of the tea fragrance that remained between his teeth and cheeks.
At this time, Jiang Baige slowly spoke: "When I was young, I always thought that drinking tea was a waste of time. You see, this tea must be good, the water temperature must be appropriate, and the time for water to soak in water must be accurate. After making it for more than half a day, just a small cup of tea that is not enough to moisten the throat is really worthless..."
Speaking of this, Jiang Baige drank all the remaining tea in the cup, tasted the tea for a moment, and then said slowly: "It took me a long time to understand that the wisdom of my predecessors is really profound. This tea ceremony is the same as being a person and doing things. You must follow the rules. You cannot be too anxious. At the same time, you cannot show your sharpness."
Zhou Ziyan put down the teacup, nodded slightly, and understood what Jiang Baige meant. During the past period, he was in Jinhuyuan, and even in front of Jiang Baige himself, and he did not retreat at all. He was too sharp.
However, Jiang Baige didn't know how Zhou Ziyan could take the position of general manager of Jinhuyuan from a small employee and get closer to the senior management of Baige Group, and take a big step to achieve his goals.
"It is a good thing for young people to be sharp, but if they are too sharp, they will force people around them, including those who are willing to get close to you. In the end, you will find that you force everyone around you, but at the same time, you have become a lonely person, and even force them to hurt yourself..."
"Go, I believe that with your knowledge and wisdom, there is no need for me to tell you those great principles..."
Jiang Baige finished speaking slowly, then waved his hand and said to expel the guest.
It took half an hour since Zhou Ziyan entered this tea room until Jiang Baige expelled guests, but Zhou Ziyan didn't say a word. It should be said that Jiang Baige didn't let Zhou Ziyan say a word more, saying that he was asking Zhou Ziyan to come and listen to Jiang Baige's words. However, Jiang Baige's pomp was really extraordinary.
But Zhou Ziyan was too lazy to care. Jiang Baige asked someone to take it over, and Zhou Ziyan came over. Jiang Baige didn't want to listen to Zhou Ziyan's words, so Zhou Ziyan kept silent. Jiang Baige wanted to drive Zhou Ziyan away, so Zhou Ziyan got up and left without hesitation.
It is clean and neat, but still has a sharp edge.
When Zhou Ziyan walked to the door, Jiang Baige suddenly stopped Zhou Ziyan: "Wait, General Manager Zhou, now is an extraordinary period. You have to pay more attention to the affairs of Jinhuyuan and don't make any trouble for me. Okay, go..."
Zhou Ziyan still cannot say a word, but his words are full of strong warnings.
It was not until Zhou Ziyan came out that he felt a little regretful. Jiang Baige suffered a lot.
When he came, Jiang Baige asked Guan Huijuan to drive to pick him up in person, but now when he went back, he couldn't see Guan Huijuan's figure. However, Zhou Ziyan changed his clothes in the morning and brought only various documents. He had not had time to get the cash. If he called back and asked Xu Lili to drive over to pick up the people, he would have to delay here for at least half an hour and just stop the taxi back. This is a villa area, and there are private cars in and out, and basically no taxi carrying passengers were seen.
This is a big deal or a small thing. Zhou Ziyan had to smile bitterly and call Xu Lili while walking back.
Just now, when he walked out of the villa area, a car horn came from behind. When Zhou Ziyan turned around, he realized that it was Xia Mingzhu's car.
Xia Mingzhu slowly stopped in the car and asked with a smile: "Ziyan, why are you here?"
Zhou Ziyan smiled: "Dr. Jiang asked me to come here for tea, haha, I didn't drive here. I'll pay it back for a while if I let my assistant drive over. Just in time, I'll go back to Jinhuyuan, will I go along the way?"
Xia Mingzhu immediately smiled and said, "Get into the car, I'm going to go to Jinhuyuan."
