Jiang Group
It’s said that Jiang Chengsi is the prospective son-in-law of the Si Family in Guandong, making him an overnight sensation in the Beijing circle. By rights, such a rising star should be basking in admiration.
However...
The employees at Jiang Group see him trotting along behind Fifth Master.
Jiang Jinsang’s schedule today isn’t packed, two etings and a client et-up.
The eting he hosted was a departntal one, attended by employees of lower rank than those in regular company etings. Many people saw Jiang Chengsi for the first ti and couldn’t help but focus more on him.
Yet Jiang Chengsi was completely focused, holding the previous eting notes, and Jiang Jinsang didn’t expect him to quickly get into the rhythm but only required him to note down anything he didn’t understand.
Jiang Jinsang kept observing him from the corner of his eye, it’s rare to see such a diligent fourth brother; to be honest, he looks like a serious man when studying seriously.
Looks like he really likes Si Qingxiao, otherwise, with his personality, how could he sit still...
Just as Jiang Jinsang was feeling emotional, Jiang Chengsi suddenly leaned over, "Vice President."
In the company, it’s obviously inappropriate to address him as a brother, so Jiang Chengsi calls him Vice President, while Jiang Jinsang calls him—
Xiaojiang!
"What’s up?" Jiang Jinsang thought he encountered a tough problem.
"How do you write the ’赊’ in ’赊欠’?"
..." Jiang Jinsang’s expression was sowhat rigid.
"Hey, is this how you write the ’函’ in ’通函’?" Jiang Chengsi frowned, usually, he writes very little, it’s not any difficult characters, but he forgets once he picks up the pen, not intentionally though.
"Endorser, is this endorsent the sa as the one we used to morize at school?"
"How do you write ’唛头’? Which ’mai’?"
...
Jiang Jinsang felt a headache, should he get a new Chinese dictionary for his fourth brother.
Jiang Chengsi felt awkward too, nowadays everyone relies on typing, truly there are many characters he doesn’t know how to write down, and how could Jiang Jinsang teach him during the eting, he just told him to use pinyin for those he can’t write and check the dictionary later, resulting in the eting notes being a total disaster.
Combining Chinese characters with pinyin, Jiang Jinsang started to feel his head aching.
No wonder grandma shoved him my way, with this level of skill, putting him with his brother wouldn’t take ten minutes before kicking him out.
At this mont, the secretary knocked on the door and inford that the client had arrived.
"Alright, let them in." Jiang Jinsang handled a file and looked askew at Jiang Chengsi, "Xiaojiang, help brew a cup of broken silver, and make a pot of Iron Goddess for the client."
Jiang Chengsi: "..."
What does that an?
I’m here to learn, you’re treating like a gofer?
"If you’re learning from Mr. Si, when taking you to see a client, do you think he’s the one pouring the water, or the client is?"
"Fine, I’ll go!" Jiang Chengsi barely squeezed a smile from the corner of his mouth.
When he returned, Jiang Jinsang was already conversing with the client. He didn’t know this person, but the client recognized him and was surprised, just rising to his feet only to be stopped by Jiang Jinsang.
"Please remain seated, he’s my assistant now, just ignore him, let’s continue chatting."
Jiang Chengsi sat on the side, listening intently and indeed understanding the content.
However, he couldn’t help but admire Jiang Jinsang, he used to criticize him for being able to bluff people.
Jiang Jinsang just glanced at him: "This isn’t bluffing, this is the art of conversation."
Jiang Chengsi’s mouth twitched:
Growing up together, with just a glance, I know how much dirty water you’ve got stored inside, would I believe your lies.
"For doing business, you certainly cannot speak like before, you must be skilled, especially at the negotiation table, a slight difference leads to a great error."
Jiang Chengsi nodded, "I’ll be mindful."
"The art of conversation and behavior needs to be regulated, I seem to have bought so skill books for Old Huo back then, go ask if he still has them, borrow for a look."
Jiang Chengsi: "..."
I’ve only got so much brain, a day has only 24 hours, I’m planning to go on a date tonight, you sure want to squeeze dry?
Jiang Chengsi’s day wasn’t easy, and Jiang Jinsang’s secretary even more challenging, serving one master before was hard enough, now there’s a thorn to deal with.
Jiang Jinsang instructed not to give him special treatnt, treat him like an ordinary person, but this is not just any ordinary person, how could he be mingled with others.
In-office dialogues are often like this...
"Xiaojiang, have you finished the book? Test in an hour."
