Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife
Chapter 1756 - 1757: Jiang Sanma’s Frustration
Time never stops turning, everyone has their own business to attend to. Qi Taiguo has devoted himself to rigorous military training, stepping towards the future. As for Ning Ge, he’s busy with business dealings with his friends while also plotting mischief. And Cheng Su herself, she is busy raising kids and handling business, never stopping her steps.
Relying on his extensive network, Ning Ge has gathered quite a bit of information about the Shen Family’s activities in the Capital.
The Shen Family is quite interesting. Apart from Chiang Qing, the young Third Mistress, the first two family heads are secretly competing against each other, striving to secure the resources and support of the old patriarch.
Moreover, the old patriarch of the Shen Family is quite fair, with one head focusing on the northern market and the other on the southern market, particularly in Guangcheng and Zhu City—after all, they are closest to their base. So now the one managing the Capital is Shen Qizheng, the eldest of the Shen Family. He’s quite moderate, but also rather obstinate and arrogant.
However, Chiang Qing has helped him establish a few connections recently, opening some doors, but it’s not enough; they are small fish and shrimp that won’t serve any major purpose, maybe just securing a tiny project. Shen Qizheng’s ambitions are much bigger than that.
So, someone suggested Ning Ge to him. With some persuasion, Shen Qizheng decided to get involved with Ning Ge.
Why?
The Ning Family is thriving right now, on both military and political fronts. Ning Ge is doing well in business, they have great resources. If they can connect, why worry about big deals?
But Shen Qizheng is a foreigner himself, out of his element, with no connections. He thought of Chiang Qing, who was originally from the Capital, wondering whether she had the capability to link him up.
Shen Qizheng bit his cigar, scrutinizing Chiang Qing’s outfit today, thinking no wonder the old man is so smitten with her, given her figure, she’s indeed not lacking.
Chiang Qing was wearing a tailored pencil skirt, truly accentuating her curves, with her hair swept up, leaving only a few wisps by her temples, exuding a sense of allure.
If he didn’t need the old man’s favor, Shen Qizheng would really want to test this woman’s skills.
He glanced at Chen Gang standing behind Chiang Qing, composed his thoughts; this little tail dog was an informant, couldn’t let him badmouth him in front of the old man, or he would fall behind that second brother.
Shen Qizheng cleared his throat and said, "Inviting Third Mom today, I have a favor to ask of you."
Third Mom!
Chiang Qing’s mouth twitched as she held the United Kingdom red tea, instantly finding it tasteless, feeling rather upset.
But over there, that’s how they address, just like Shen Rong and other tycoons, all having multiple mistresses, and the children addressing based on the family head.
Take Shen Qihong’s branch for instance, belonging to the second house, they call the wife of the main house Big Mom. Of course, privately calling by their names or giving them nicknames is not uncommon.
But every time Chiang Qing hears such an address, especially from Shen Qizheng, whose age could almost be her father’s, she feels quite uneasy and slightly embarrassed.
"We’re family, why talk about favors, Big Brother, just say what you need." Chiang Qing adopted a comfortable position, lifting her chin slightly in a noble gesture.
No matter her status, as long as the old master favors her, they need her in the Capital, so she has the confidence to be proud, and naturally becomes a ’senior.’
Shen Qizheng smiled and flattered her a few words, making Chiang Qing smile ear to ear, then spoke: "I heard right now the most popular in the Capital is the Ning Family’s fourth son. Third Mom grew up here, any relations with him? Can you pull some strings for your son?"
