The afternoon sun was warm. Jiang Jinshang had just finished answering his brother's call when his phone vibrated again. He glanced at the caller ID and picked up the phone. Before he could say anything, the other party cursed in a low voice.
"Damn, have I been in a bad situation recently? I can't do anything in peace!"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Jinshang's voice was weak.
This person had been blocked by him some time ago. He had used his brother's words to threaten him. If he didn't unblock his number, he would immediately fly to Pingjiang to "console" him. Only then did Jiang Jinshang did it.
"There's a project recently. Our company's manager and the other party have been talking for a long time. The conditions are very generous, but the other side just doesn't agree!
"Let me tell you, I've seen too many people like this. They're definitely greedy and want more. Sooner or later, they'll be stuffed to death.
"Do I have to do it personally?"
***
Jiang Jinshang listened for a long time before raising her eyebrows slightly. "Then, let's change to another company."
"No, that's what I like. I have to get what I want," the other party said through gritted teeth. "You don't even know that I've added the other party on text messenger several times, but he f*cking rejected me..."
"Based on what you posted on your stories, he probably thinks that you are a direct sales person."
He had an affinity for shoes and his stories were filled with pictures of shoes. Perhaps, the other party thought he was a shoe trader.
After hanging up the phone, the man was furious. When I am done with my work, I must personally go and meet this person.

Last night, a bunch of people were suddenly arrested. The entire Pingjiang City was calm on the surface, but there were also undercurrents surging underneath.
Last Night, Tang Wan had been thinking about how to curry favor with Jiang Jinshang. She didn't sleep well last night. After eating lunch, she went back to her room and dipped her head into the pillow. She fell into a deep sleep until dusk.
When she reached the front hall, Madam Chen had already prepared some porridge and some refreshing side dishes. It was quite delicious.
"Madam Chen, Grandpa and Fifth Master aren't home?" Tang Wan had a glass of water.
When she left the courtyard, there was no one next door. There were only the bodyguards. They were chatting in low voices, so she didn't ask much.
"The old master said he was taking Fifth Master out for a walk. They've been out for some time and should be back soon."
Tang Wan nodded and couldn't help but criticized in her heart.
An old sickly man dragging a little sickly man. Can't the two of them take care of themselves at home? Why were they strolling around aimlessly instead.
Usually, Old Master Tang would come back when it was still dark outside. Darkness had already covered the sky, but the two of them were still nowhere to be seen. Tang Wan stood under the porch and waited for a while. She held a stick and played with the thrush.
The thrush was amused and her cries were loud and clear. It was only when she heard the sound of footsteps outside that she put the bird teaser stick aside and went out to welcome them.
The thrush still wanted to play!
During the few days that Jiang Jinshang stayed at the Tang family's residence, he would usually accompany the old man to watch the news broadcast before going to bed. On the other hand, the old man would soak his feet and drink tea.
Tang Wan wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Jiang Jinshang and make him a cup of tea that he liked to drink. Little did she know that after he had eaten, he said, "I went out for a long time just now and am a little tired. Grandpa Tang, I'll go back to my room to rest first. I won't accompany you to watch the news."
"It's okay. You don't have to. Hurry up and get some rest." The old man didn't care about this in the first place. As soon as he heard that he was tired, he hurriedly called him back to his room.
There was zero opportunity for Tang Wan to talk to him.
***
After Jiang Jinshang went back to his room, he took a shower and sat on a chair with a book in his hand. He flipped through the book slowly, but he didn't have the slightest intention of going to bed.
Standing at the side, Jiang Tso was already drowsy.
Jiang Jinshang's health wasn't good, so he needed someone to keep watch at night. Yesterday, Jiang Tso was in charge. The man in sunglasses at the side tilted his head to look at him and saw that he was dozing off. He immediately kicked him in the shin.
"F * ck, I..." He exclaimed and opened his eyes to meet Jiang Jinshang's gaze. His back felt cold and he smiled embarrassedly. "Master, Jiang Jiu hit me."
Jiang Jiu adjusted his sunglasses and didn't say anything.
Jiang Jinshang, on the other hand, turned his head and continued reading. He said faintly, "Wipe your saliva clean before you speak."
At this moment, Jiang Jinshang's phone vibrated twice and a message popped up:
[ Fifth Master, are you asleep? Is it convenient for me to come over? ]
Jiang Jinshang put down his book and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He had finally received her message.
[ You're not asleep yet? What's the matter? ]
Jiang Tso stood on tiptoe and sneaked a look.
Damn, you've been waiting for so long and Ms. Tang has finally come to visit, and you still want to play a fool? It's simply disgraceful.
[ There's something I need to ask you. ]
[ Then shall we go to the study? ]
When Tang Wan received this message, she was so ashamed. As expected, he had heard the phone call and said it to deliberately to avoid suspicion.
If Tang Wan really wanted to go to the study, then it was obvious that she had indirectly admitted the authenticity of the phone call and was wary of him.
She could only bite the bullet and reply, "It's okay. If it's convenient, I'll go to your room."
The corner of Jiang Jinshang's mouth gradually widened. "Okay, then I'll wait for you."
Tang Wan went over this time. Apart from carrying two books, she also brewed a pot of tea. Jiang Tso and Jiang Jiu left the room in consideration and closed the door for them.
"Is it Pu'er?" Tang Wan entered the room and Jiang Jinshang immediately caught a whiff of the fragrance.
"Yes." Tang Wan took a cup and poured some for him.
Jiang Jinshang narrowed his eyes. First it was carrots, then coriander, and now Pu'er. There was no coincidence in this world that he didn't like the first two things. Although he often drank this tea.
An idea popped up in his heart and he leaned closer to her. "How did you know I liked this?"
Tang Wan had already sensed his approach and was prepared. Naturally, she was not as flustered as before. Instead, she tilted her head and smiled at him.
"Do you like it then?"
She turned her head and smiled. It was charming.
Moreover, it was dark now. Under the dim yellow lights, it added to the charm.
Jiang Jinshang's throat moved. His gaze moved away from her face and he nodded slightly in response.
"This tea nourishes your stomach. I thought it was suitable for you, so I made you a pot. If you like it, I'll make this for you to drink in the future." If she wanted to curry favor with someone, she naturally had the attitude to do so. Her voice became softer. Seeing that he didn't speak.., she even asked in a low voice, "Is it okay?"
Her voice was delicate and soft and it made him flustered.
"Okay." He tightened his fingers slightly.
"Then have a taste. is the taste too strong or too weak? I'll be more careful next time."T ang Wan smiled and handed the tea over.
Jiang Jinshang took the tea. The tea was very hot and fragrant. When it entered his throat, his body felt dry and hot.
Tang Wan asked a few questions and left after staying for more than ten minutes.
Jiang Jinshang was lying on the bed. Their rooms were next to each other, and the head of the bed was facing each other. It was extremely quiet around them, but he suddenly couldn't fall asleep..
His mind was filled with her soft voice just now, and it was very dry.
After Tang Wan returned to her room, Jiang Jinshang's actions tonight seemed quite normal. He also said that she liked to drink this tea. Knowing that it was effective to curry favor with him, she was still happy in her heart and had a good night's sleep.
It was said that it didn't matter if the tea was expensive or cheap. It depended on one's personal preferences, but she didn't expect Jiang Jinshang to like Pu'er.
Because this tea was also called old man's tea and was suitable for middle-aged and elderly people..
