Chapter 845 Finding a way to kill time
"This is a good idea, but I don't know what kind of store I should open. Wu You can open a beverage or cake shop, but I don't have anything to show for it. If Wu You and the others want to open a store, I can invest and become a behind-the-scenes shareholder. Just like you said, I can let her take care of it and I can visit the store from time to time to check on its business situation."
"That's fine too. Wu You's craftsmanship is so good that if he really opens a shop, he will definitely do good business. We don't expect to get rich by opening a small shop. Making money is secondary. Isn't the main thing to find something to do to kill time?"
"I talked about this with Wu You and Man Man. After they went back, they said they would think about it carefully. I can't force them to listen to their ideas."
"That's true."
He had no idea how to pass the time, but because of this topic, Jiang Mubai thought of Zhao Tao.
"I'll think about this later. I suddenly thought of who I should find to kill time. Aunt Zhou, wait a moment while I contact a friend."
"Well, it's good to have something to do."
When Zhao Tao received Jiang Mubai's call, he happened to be free today and didn't need to go out to do anything. Zhao Tao readily agreed to Jiang Mubai's invitation.
Before, Zhao Tao had not visited Jiang Mubai in the hospital because of giving birth. Later, when Jiang Mubai was discharged from the hospital and at home, she called Zhao Tao once, but Zhao Tao was busy with his own things at that time so he did not come to the villa to visit Jiang Mubai.
The two of them just happened to have time today, and Cheng Yunchuan was not in the villa, so Jiang Mubai didn't have to worry about the other party knowing that Zhao Tao knew her.
"Okay, Mu Bai, I'll pack up here and then come to the villa to meet you."
Jiang Mubai knew that Zhao Tao wanted to report to her the income situation in recent months, so she needed to sort it out so that she could have a clearer picture.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home. Just stay for lunch at noon so you can have a taste of the cooking skills of our villa kitchen."
"Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do in the morning and I just happen to be alone and don't know what to do. Mu Bai, your suggestion comes at the perfect time."
"Then it's settled. I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare everything for you. Be careful on the road and I'll wait for you at home."
"Okay, after I hang up the phone, I'll pack up and go to the Jiang family villa to find you. You just wait for me at home."
"Okay, let's do this for now."
Zhou Xiaoying had been sitting nearby. When she saw Jiang Mubai hang up the phone, she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Who is this Mubai? Is he your friend too?"
"We can be considered friends. He was my teacher before, but I stopped studying with him after I learned his skills."
"You are amazing then. I thought your friends were only Manman, Wu You and the other two."
"Before, it was just the few of them, but now this one counts as one too. The teacher who studied flower arrangement with me before also counts as one too. But we haven't been in touch for too long and it's not a good idea to contact him rashly now to disturb him."
"Yeah, I don't think I know this friend who is coming to my house today, right?"
"I don't know him. When he came to our house to teach me, Aunt Zhou, you hadn't been asked by my father to come back to take care of me. After I was hospitalized for childbirth, I didn't contact him. If I hadn't had some business matters with him that required contact, our relationship would have gradually faded."
"How could that be? After listening to you, I feel that the teacher must be quite good. He still keeps in touch with you after you have learned all his skills. This shows that he is quite good."
"He is quite good. I decided to have these contacts with him because I think he is a good person."
"Compared to this, I'm more curious about why you have business outside, Mu Bai? I haven't heard you mention this matter for such a long time. Is it really okay to leave such an important matter to that teacher alone?"
"It's okay, Aunt Zhou, didn't you just say that my teacher is a good person? I can still give him this trust. Besides, if he really dares to lie to me, wouldn't he think twice before daring to do so with the background and strength of the Jiang family?"
"That's true. Mr. Jiang is so capable that he definitely wouldn't dare to bully you."
"Yes, that's why I dare to believe him."
"Didn't you just say you would ask the kitchen to prepare something delicious to entertain them? Now that you've finished your phone call, go to the kitchen and tell them, or they'll be preparing lunch soon. In fact, I would say you don't need to go to the kitchen to ask for instructions. We have such good food and we have all kinds of delicacies every day. Any meal can be used to entertain others."
"That's true, but after I tell them to do so, they will prepare more carefully."
"That's right. After coming to the Jiang family, I have eaten a lot of things that I have never eaten before. It is really a blessing for me to be brought back by Mr. Jiang when I come to work here. I don't know if I can get used to it after I leave if you don't need me in the future."
"Then Aunt Zhou won't leave the Jiang family and stay in the Jiang family to take care of me forever. We'll be like family after spending so much time together. And when I grow up, I can't stay at home all the time to take care of his daily life. This is not the life I want."
"Didn't you want to leave your children before? Why do you say you don't want to be a full-time housewife at home now?"
"That's different. There are so many people here in the villa. I don't need to spend any energy on things like eating. There are drivers at home to pick them up and send them to school, so I don't need to worry about that. The most I can do is accompany and educate them. If you ask me to do nothing but revolve around the children, I definitely can't stand such a life."
"Looking at you, Mu Bai, I know you definitely don't want to be a housewife. You have great abilities and means, so it would be a shame for you to stay at home."
"So, Aunt Zhou, you are so kind. If I leave you at home to take care of you, I will feel more at ease here."
"Okay, as long as you and Mr. Jiang don't dislike me, I will continue to work for your Jiang family. I have been with you for so long and have gradually developed feelings for you. The most important thing is that this child is really obedient and sensible. Aunt Zhou won't feel tired if she takes care of him."
"That's good. Aunt Zhou, I'll go to the kitchen and tell them first. Otherwise, if they really start preparing lunch, it will be too late."
"Don't worry, I'm watching you."
Zhao Tao drove very fast. In less than half an hour, he had already driven to the outside of the Jiang family villa. The housekeeper knew Zhao Tao and knew that he was looking for Jiang Mubai, so he opened the door and let him park the car in the yard.
When Zhao Tao came to visit Jiang's house to visit Mu Bai, in addition to getting the necessary information, he also brought a gift for Xiang Xiang, which was a small jade gourd that was very transparent and small. Even though Jiang Mubai didn't know much about this, he knew that the water head of this jade gourd was very good and it was very expensive.
"Why did you bring anything with you? I feel really bad for you saying that."
"What's the big deal? I had prepared it when you were pregnant, but I just didn't have the chance to give it to you. Now I've finally given it to you. Compared with the things you brought me, Mu Bai, this jade gourd is nothing."
"From what you said, Brother Tao, it seems like the returns on your recent investments have been pretty good?"
