Chapter 561 First Meeting with President Jiang
At the dinner party earlier, after the Bai family mother and daughter arrived, none of the three of them, including Huang Dacheng, mentioned President Jiang.
Throughout the entire event, Huang Dacheng and his team had only three core principles: apologize, apologize, and apologize again.
That's why the three of them drank too much.
I've lost count of how many drinks the three of them drank as punishment throughout the whole event.
All I know is that Zeng Xiaowei drank so much that he ran to the bathroom to vomit four times, his older brother Long vomited twice, and Huang Dacheng vomited three times.
When it came to apologizing, the three of them seemed afraid that we might hold a grudge, or perhaps they were afraid that their previous statement that women were all playthings had offended Long Nier, so they kept lecturing themselves.
Therefore, I can confirm that Bai's mother brought up Jiang Hongtu not because Huang Dacheng and the others let it slip, but purely because she wanted to say it herself.
"Xiaolin, let me apologize to you first!" Bai's mother didn't mention the advice she received, but apologized first.
"Wait a minute, Auntie, why are you apologizing?" Fatty Lin asked, feigning ignorance.
"This time it was Auntie's fault. Auntie pretended to be pitiful and used you as pawns!" Bai's mother directly exposed the reason for her apology.
"Xiao Mei didn't know about this; I acted on my own!"
After pointing it out, Bai's mother added another sentence.
Bai Yimei opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Looking at that slightly chubby face, I sighed inwardly. Bai Yimei was just a puppet!
To sum up her situation in one sentence, she was a tool her mother used to realize her dreams.
It wasn't her who wanted to become an international superstar, it was her mother.
Bai Yimei's biological father's job can be described as good, even top-notch, surpassing 90% of people in China.
Her mother was quite well-off back in China.
But her mother wasn't one to sit still; otherwise, she wouldn't have divorced her father back then.
To put it another way, back in the 1990s, Bai Mu was someone who could dedicate herself to art.
After realizing that she could not become a big star, Bai's mother placed her hopes on Bai Yimei.
This is also why Bai's mother was deceived in her second marriage.
The reason Bai's mother married that man was because he lied to her, saying that he had the ability and resources to make Bai Yimei famous.
Then, Bai's mother was deceived.
After the marriage, Bai's mother discovered that the promises made before the marriage were all lies. In addition, she met another man who made promises to her, who was Bai Yimei's godfather, so she naturally got divorced.
After all these years of twists and turns, Bai's mother had only one goal: to have Bai Yimei fulfill her dream.
Such phenomena are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, but it is very rare to see someone as obsessed and with such poor judgment as Bai's mother.
"Auntie, did you have a change of heart, or is there some other reason why you're telling me this?" Fatty Lin stared at Bai's mother for a long time before slowly asking.
"It was President Jiang who told me to do this!" said Mrs. Bai.
"what?"
This surprised me a bit.
Fatty Lin was also taken aback; he hadn't expected Bai's mother to give such an answer.
"Did President Jiang tell you to say that?"
Coming to his senses, Fatty Lin asked.
"Um!"
Mrs. Bai nodded and said, "Mr. Jiang said that after he gets back the photos and videos that were taken, he wants me and you to admit that he instructed me to find you and use you as pawns!"
"Interesting, really interesting!" Fatty Lin laughed.
"What else did President Jiang say?" I asked.
"Mr. Jiang said I shouldn't lie, and I should answer whatever you ask!" Mrs. Bai replied while observing our expressions. Seeing that we weren't angry, she added, "Mr. Jiang also said he wants to meet with you. If you agree, you can go see him now; if you don't agree, he'll personally visit you at the store another day to apologize!"
"Auntie, do you mean that President Jiang is waiting for us now?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Um!"
Mrs. Bai nodded and said, "Just now, after leaving the hotel, I sent a message to President Jiang, and he told me to do as he instructed!"
As she spoke, she took out her phone and showed us the messages.
We took a look, and it really was just as she said.
After reading the message, Fatty Lin and I exchanged a glance, and Fatty Lin said, "Auntie, how about this, please take us to see President Jiang now!"
"Why!"
Mrs. Bai's eyes lit up, she nodded, and said, "I'll call President Jiang!"
"Go ahead and fight!"
Fatty Lin nodded.
A minute later, the call ended, and we set off to meet General Manager Jiang.
Bai's mother actually has one advantage, which could also be considered a disadvantage.
That is, once she trusts someone, she believes them wholeheartedly, and she will do whatever they ask her to do.
Like her second husband, like her third man, Bai Yimei's godfather, like her elder brother Long and Huang Dacheng.
Even now that she has found Jiang Zong as her backer, she is still the same. She does whatever he tells her to do and is very obedient.
If she encounters a reliable and powerful figure, she will be very comfortable. However, if she encounters a ruthless and heartless person who will devour her without spitting out the bones, she will suffer greatly.
The main problem is that not only was she in a terrible situation, but she also dragged Bai Yimei down with her.
About half an hour later, we stopped the car in front of a villa in the Pok Fu Lam area of Mid-Levels West.
"General Jiang!"
After getting off the bus, Bai's mother greeted a middle-aged man who came out to meet her and went to greet him.
"Uncle Jiang!"
Bai Yimei also greeted them.
I noticed that when Bai Yimei greeted them, her eyes showed not only no disgust as they had when they saw Huang Dacheng and the others, but also a hint of closeness.
"Um!"
Mr. Jiang gently patted Mrs. Bai's arm, extended his hand to us, and said, "Master Lin, Master Feng, Ms. Long, I have long admired the names of the three of you!"
"President Jiang, we've heard so much about you!" Fatty Lin said with a smile, extending his hand.
The same goes for me and Long Nier.
"Masters, I know you have many questions about me. Let's go upstairs first. I recently acquired some fine tea; let's chat over tea!"
After shaking hands, President Jiang invited us upstairs.
"good!"
Fatty Lin nodded.
Judging from the current situation, Jiang Hongtu's attitude is very good, and he is adopting a very humble posture.
Given his behavior, there's not much we can say.
After entering the villa, Jiang Hongtu led us to his study.
After we sat down, he personally brewed tea for us.
"Master Lin, Master Feng, Ms. Long, please feel free to ask any questions you may have!"
After handing each of us a cup of tea, Jiang Hongtu said with a smile.
"President Jiang, I'm very curious. Why did you have Aunt Bai tell us that you instructed her to come to us? You know, doing this is tantamount to openly telling us that you're using us as pawns!"
Fatty Lin asked directly.
"The reason is simple: even if I don't let her say it, you can guess it afterward. Even if you can't guess it, President Huang will tell you!" Jiang Hongtu replied.
