Old Ross personally accompanied Jiang Cheng downstairs and publicly instructed Ross to take good care of Jiang Cheng.

After saying a few words, Old Ross sat aside, watching everyone toast and chat.

It was at this moment that Jiang Cheng made her move.

She replaced her water with wine, and Zhao Chengde followed her with a bottle, ready to refill her glass at any time.

Thanks to Ross II’s introduction, Jiang Cheng planned to start by approaching a businessman in the clothing industry.

"Sir, the colors of your clothes are truly stunning!"

Jiang Cheng began.

Her skill of speaking appropriately to different audiences allowed her to thrive and showcase herself throughout the entire hall.

Perhaps a partnership couldn’t be secured immediately, but as long as she extended an olive branch, one would eventually reciprocate.

Ross II stood at the bar, observing Jiang Cheng’s diplomatic skills.

"Turns out it’s not that you don’t drink, you just don’t drink with me?"

"Really impressive! Amazing!"

The banquet had undoubtedly become Jiang Cheng’s social stage.

Thanks to Old Ross’s attention, no one present was impolite to Jiang Cheng.

Coupled with her exceptional communication skills, Jiang Cheng received seven banquet invitations and four birthday invitations after the event.

As the banquet ended, Jiang Cheng left with a stack of contacts.

After Ross drove her and Zhao Chengde back and arranged the meeting time for the next day, he left.

Jiang Cheng returned to her hotel room and began organizing the information she had gathered today.

After sorting things out, Jiang Cheng also went to rest.

The next day, Jiang Cheng began her busy schedule in Country M.

Morning meeting with Ross to finalize the partnership.

Afternoon shopping for dresses to attend the birthday party of someone she had just met yesterday.

For the following days, even if Ross wanted to discuss something with Jiang Cheng, he had to make an appointment.

Her schedule was packed.

At one point, Ross wondered who was the real local here.

On Jiang Cheng’s third day in Country M, an international fax was sent back to Hua Xia.

She had negotiated orders abroad for Hua Xia’s local textile and porcelain factories.

On the fifth day, another fax arrived, through which Jiang Cheng secured foreign trade orders for Hua Xia’s domestic enterprises.

Interestingly, the orders weren’t even for her own company’s name.

In the following days, some Hua Xia factories or private enterprises with foreign qualifications stayed by their fax machines.

Just in case.

Fortunately, Jiang Cheng did not disappoint them, and four more faxes were sent back.

Full of anticipation reminiscent of Jiang Cheng leading them to earn foreign exchange at trade fairs.

This time, however, Jiang Cheng directly entered the opponent’s territory and did the persuasion locally.

In the next half month, faxes arrived every few days.

Even the companies under Jiang Cheng’s name heard about her accomplishments.

The heads of a few companies would chat over the phone, jokingly complaining.

"President Jiang, did you forget about your own company?"

Truth be told, Jiang Cheng hadn’t forgotten.

The day before her return, her whiskey factory received a major order from across the ocean.

Director Zhang of the whiskey factory proudly called Director Lu.

"Lao Lu—President Jiang sent us a fax."

"It’s a real pain, such a big order, we’ll have to work overtime."

"You know, it’s just more money; so exhausting, I really don’t enjoy this!"

Director Zhang spoke ironically, and on the other end, Director Lu calmly said, without a hint of envy: "Indeed, your factory wasn’t busy before, doesn’t understand what it’s like when things get hectic."

"No worries, I get your call’s intent, to learn a thing or two about how to handle busyness?"

"I’ve got experience, our food factory’s orders are scheduled until the end of next year!"

Director Lu’s words made Director Zhang, who was boasting, grin through clenched teeth.

"Hey, Lao Lu, I’ve got something else to do, hanging up!"

"Don’t—haven’t finished sharing my experience—beep beep—"

Director Lu shook his head and hung up the phone.

"Really not steady, nothing like me."

"There’s still much to learn!"

Director Lu picked up the well-thumbed Thirty-Six Stratagems on the desk and continued reading.

This thing, always fresh and genuinely useful!

As for the envy or displeasure, he truly felt none.

Director Lu wasn’t lying; the food factory was indeed incapable of taking new orders.

Amid domestic factories or enterprises bustling about, Jiang Cheng quietly flew back from Country M.

A month and five days abroad, Jiang Cheng missed home.

Honestly, foreign food wasn’t to her taste.

As the plane landed, Jiang Cheng emerged from the exit with her suitcase, spotting those she missed from afar.

Shen Que holding a bouquet of flowers, was just about to hug Jiang Cheng.

"Sis-in-law!"

"Sis-in-law!"

Shen Xing and Shen Yue, one in front and one behind, surpassing him, hugged the person they’d longed to see.

Shen Que solemnly said behind the trio, "Shouldn’t it be me first for my wife?"

Shen Xing and Shen Yue exchanged a glance and simultaneously changed their greeting.

"Hello, brother-in-law!"

"Goodbye, brother-in-law!"

Shen Que was left amused yet helpless by their antics, finally looking at Jiang Cheng and complaining, "They’re bullying me."

Jiang Cheng: Getting more childish.

Shen Xing and Shen Yue: Big brother...really no shame!

However, the three indeed separated, and Jiang Cheng openly embraced Shen Que, tiptoeing to say, "I missed you."

Shen Que hugged Jiang Cheng, provocatively glancing at Shen Xing and Shen Yue across: My wife!

Shen Xing and Shen Yue immediately gestured: Can’t bear to watch.

All four of them walked out of the airport together, and Jiang Cheng knew today was the weekend, perfect timing for Shen Xing and Shen Yue to join in picking her up.

Shen Xing opened the car door, letting Jiang Cheng and Shen Yue sit in the back.

"Grandma is at home making homemade noodles; she said whenever you return from abroad, you might be up for it, so she’s making extra!"

After securing the rear door, Shen Xing seated himself in the passenger seat, getting a glance from Shen Que.

Calmly fastening his seatbelt, Shen Xing said, "Front passenger seat is the most unsafe position."

Shen Que: "..."

The car started, heading home.

After almost two hours on the road, they finally arrived home.

Jiang Cheng, though exhausted, showed her broadest smile upon seeing Grandma Shen and hugged her.

"Grandma, I missed you so much!"

"So glad to have you back, so glad to have you back!"

Grandma Shen scrutinized Jiang Cheng and confidently said, "You’ve lost weight!"

"Yeah, foreign food doesn’t taste good!"

Jiang Cheng sweetly helped Grandma Shen, who tenderly invited her, "I’ve made noodles for you. Once home, we’ll eat. Anything else you want, I’ll prepare it for you!"

Jiang Cheng eagerly agreed, while reciting her desired menu.

"We’ve got tomatoes at home; tomorrow morning, I’ll make you scrambled eggs, ribs in the evening."

Listening to Jiang Cheng’s menu, Grandma Shen already planned each meal in her mind.

The trio behind them watched the scene with amusement.

Shen Yue happily remarked, "Sister-in-law’s return is the best."

"Indeed, facing our brother daily, that ice block, what’s the point."

Shen Que glanced at them, speechlessly saying, "Without me, where would you find a good sister-in-law?"
