Chapter 605: Investing in a "Catfish"
Wu Ziqi looked at Li Jiawei and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "A deputy?"
Li Jiawei smiled and said, "Yes, this is the decision made by me and the board of directors! And you know this person, An Ling."
"An Ling?" Wu Ziqi's eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at Li Jiawei and said, "Boss Li, An Ling once betrayed you. Do you still trust someone like him?"
Li Jiawei raised a smile and replied, "There is no one in this world who is absolutely loyal. I asked her to come just to let her do something. If she is really capable and can short Meishang without me noticing, it only shows that she is outstanding."
At this point, Li Jiawei's smile widened, and she continued, "And in the past two years, I have been funding An Ling's medical treatment.
Now that she has recovered, she wants to return to China, so she came to me to ask for a job. So I arranged for her to return to "Meishang" as deputy editor-in-chief, which was a favor to her. In addition, she has been abroad for the past two years and has interned in many magazines, so she has gained a lot of experience.
So, I hope that you two can be honest with each other and work together to make next year's "Beauty" fashion dinner even more grand and star-studded than tonight."
After hearing what Li Jiawei said, Wu Ziqi didn't know what to say.
Moreover, even if An Ling came back, their positions were now reversed, she was the boss and An Ling was the deputy, and her rights were not divided.
However, Wu Ziqi had imagined all the arrangements that Li Jiawei might make, but she never expected that she would let An Ling return to "Meishang".
But thinking about it now, Wu Ziqi seems to understand Li Jiawei's intention behind this arrangement.
Letting An Ling come back is like throwing a "catfish" into the calm water bottle of "Meishang".
But then she thought again, when other people in "Meishang" knew the news, they would be even more surprised than she was. With this thought, the depression in her heart was slightly relieved.
After all, she might not be the only one who does not welcome An Ling back. When the time comes, she just needs to control the overall situation and let An Ling fight with others to relieve the pressure on her. Then she can sit back and relax.
Wu Ziqi figured this out and said solemnly, "Boss Li, don't worry, I will cooperate with An Ling. Also, thank you for giving me another chance."
Li Jiawei leaned forward slightly, reached out and gently patted Wu Ziqi's shoulder, her tone full of comfort: "Ziqi, you are the person I trust most in "Meishang".
Letting An Ling come back is not because I don't trust you, but the current situation forces me to shut up those shareholders, lest they always say that I am unfair and nepotism!"
Wu Ziqi forced a smile at the corner of her mouth. Li Jiawei's words seemed to comfort her, but in fact, they seemed to be a warning to her.
But it was precisely these ambiguous words that made Wu Ziqi even more in awe of Li Jiawei.
After finishing her talk with Wu Ziqi, Li Jiawei returned to the lounge upstairs. When she opened the door, she saw Jing Qiu had changed his clothes and was sitting alone on the sofa.
Li Jiawei put on a smile on her face, her tone full of concern: "Mom, it's so late, why haven't you returned to the hotel to rest yet?"
Jing Qiu looked up at Li Jiawei at the door, patted the empty seat next to him, and said softly, "Jiawei, come, come and sit down."
Li Jiawei obediently walked over, sat down next to Jing Qiu, and asked softly: "Mom, do you have something to say to me?"
Jing Qiu looked at his daughter and sighed heavily, his tone full of helplessness and worry: "Jiawei, do you have something in your hand that can prove that Xuanbao is targeting you?"
Li Jiawei was slightly stunned. There was nothing to hide in this matter.
She said frankly: "Strictly speaking, it is not conclusive evidence. I just found out that the batch of inferior building materials that entered the Global Construction site came from Xuanbao's construction site."
Hearing Li Jiawei say this, the slight bit of hope that Jing Qiu had originally had disappeared in an instant. She leaned weakly against the back of the chair, gently rubbing her forehead with her fingertips, her heart full of complex emotions, but she didn't know what to say, and her whole body fell into indescribable torment.
How could she easily let go of the absurd and cruel fact that her adopted daughter deliberately targeted and framed her own biological daughter?
She slowly closed her eyes, trying to suppress the fatigue and bitterness in her heart, and asked in a hoarse voice: "How do you plan to deal with this matter?" Jing Qiu raised his head and looked at Li Jiawei closely.
When Li Jiawei heard Jing Qiu ask this, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Jing Qiu was in a dilemma and didn't know what to say. On the one hand, he didn't want Li Jiawei to delve into Li Xuanbao's fault, but on the other hand, he was afraid that this would hurt his biological daughter's feelings.
Jing Qiu felt as if his heart was hanging in the air, and he was so panicked that he didn't know where to go.
She stood up suddenly, her voice trembling: "Let's stop here today. My mind is too confused right now. I'm going back to the hotel to rest first." She looked at Li Jiawei deeply and added: "You have been busy for so long, you should go back and rest early too."
Li Jiawei looked at Jing Qiu's leaving back and forced a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth. There was unspeakable helplessness and bitterness hidden in that smile.
After Jing Qiu left, she sighed softly, picked up the sports suit she brought with her, turned into the inner room and changed out of her dress.
After changing her clothes, she took out her cell phone and called the driver, asking him to wait for her downstairs.
Now she has her own small family, people she cares about, and people who love her. There is really no need for her to be sad about the family affection that is as thin as gauze paper.
The next afternoon, Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi brought Suisui and Niannian back to Xishi.
The two little guys were too young. After only two days in the Magic City villa, they started to throw tantrums, hugging her and Xiao Yi and whining. Although she didn't know what they were saying, she knew they didn't like it here.
When they were in Li Garden, the two little ones, like Li Jiawei, loved to stay in the glass greenhouse.
The place is sunny, bright and airy, with greenery everywhere, which won't make them feel bored or depressed.
Besides, things in Shanghai have basically come to an end, so there is no need for Li Jiawei to stay here for long.
The next day after returning to Xishi, the city welcomed the first snow of this winter.
Snowflakes fluttered down, dyeing the sky and the earth silver-white. Li Jiawei and Xiao Yi stayed in the glass greenhouse with Suisui and Niannian.
Sui Sui and Niannian lay side by side on the soft carpet, their pink little faces almost touching the glass. They stared at the flying snowflakes outside, their big black eyes filled with curiosity.
The two little guys were shouting excitedly, you say "ah" and I say "oh", it can be considered a "conversation" with each other.
Xiao Yi and Li Jiawei each leaned lazily on a recliner, swaying gently to the rhythm of the chairs.
