After I was forced into a family, I was in a good mood

Qin Yishan returned to her office full of disappointment, her mind was full of Xia Yining's slightly raised mouth just now.She had no resistance to this face when she was in high school, but now they are all mature, and the charm of experience has been added to the perfect facial features, which is even more irresistible.

It's just that she has lost the legitimate reason to appreciate it. Before, she wanted to hide her thoughts and guard silently, but now she finds that she can't do it.In the past, the place next to Xia Yining was empty, giving hope to all those who admired her, even if it was empty, in short, there was no one to occupy it.

But now Jiang Yan is real, and he still dangles in front of her eyes from time to time.Qin Yishan's heart became more and more bitter, obviously they had never made any intimate actions in the company, but it still made her feel suffocated.

She opened the drawer and found an old wallet deep in the corner.Trembling slightly, she opened it, and inside was a photo of her and Xia Yining in high school.Wearing school uniforms, their faces are all bright and youthful.

Caressing the photo reluctantly, but saying goodbye silently.Qin Yishan couldn't leave without resoluteness. Not only Xia Yining was here, but also the career she had fought for a long time, as well as the promotion opportunity she had been waiting for for several years.

In addition, even though she decided to let go of this thought she shouldn't have for the time being, she was still worried about Jiang Yan.She also knew what Jiang Yan was saying in the past. Even after marriage, it seemed that she had "reformed from evil and returned to righteousness", but human nature is not so easy to change.

She silently made a promise in her heart for a period of one year. If Jiang Yan and Xia Yining still had the same relationship at that time, then she would seal this relationship forever.If Jiang Yan's nature is hard to change or if she can't give Xia Yining happiness, then she will never miss the opportunity again.

**

Jiang Yan just felt that Qin Yishan was a little difficult to get close to, but the two of them had very little contact in business, and most of their daily contact was due to Xia Yining, so she didn't bother to study Qin Yishan's thoughts.

Anyway, she came to Xia's to work purely to abide by the agreement. When the agreement expires, she will naturally resign from the company after divorcing Xia Yining.So she just wants to do the job well during this time, and she doesn't want to compete with anyone for promotion.

But she is very optimistic about Li Xiaoyuan and Qu Lan. Although they are young, they are serious and hardworking, but they have no better opportunities because they have no background relationship.Taking advantage of the year-end evaluation of the employees in the preparation department, Jiang Yan carefully read everyone's files by the way.

As the end of the year approaches, the main tasks in the office are administrative chores, which have not changed much from previous years.Jiang Yan doesn't have much experience, but the old employees in the department are actively rushing to perform in front of her, so she doesn't have to worry at all.

What bothered her the most was the bad reviews of the old store. Boss Qian and the others couldn't communicate well with the customers and couldn't get a better understanding of the situation. According to the thinking of young people, Qian Ming thought it was a deliberate attempt to slander her.

At first, Jiang Yan also thought that someone was playing tricks, deliberately targeting the new business of the old store.But when she calmed down and reorganized the various comments on the Internet, she found that things were not as simple as she thought before.

She sorted through the comments on several major websites, and then re-analyzed the IDs' profiles and their previous statements.If it is really a professional person who "collects money to do things", the past records will not be so many and complicated, and there will not be too many real traces left.

Jiang Yan still decided to start with the user who raised the question first, although the account seemed normal.However, most of the records on this account are the research and evaluation of local cuisines. It is not professional, but there are mixed reviews. It can be seen that it is indeed hard work.

The other party has a tough attitude and is unwilling to accept the private communication of the old store, but he has not repeatedly entangled and forwarded it several times, but is just unwilling to cancel the previous negative review.Jiang Yan tried to put himself in that role, assuming that he received money to discredit the old store, and just posting a bad review, would that be enough?

Obviously it is not enough. If no one cares or no one responds, just such a lonely message is there, is it really because only a few cents are charged?

No, there must be something wrong with it.

Jiang Yan tried to erase the previous assumptions, and wanted to reconsider.At this moment, someone knocked on her door. Although she would not wonder who it was, Xia Yining rarely looked for her at this time.

"What's up?"

Xia Yining's face was a little embarrassed, but her tone was urgent: "Mom is here, in the living room."

Jiang Yan was also taken aback: "Why is Mom coming here at night?"

Xia's mother didn't come over very often, and she would ask them to go back to the mansion when she had something to do, and it was really abnormal to come here suddenly at night.

"She said let me call you over." Xia Yining stood at the door and didn't leave, as if he was going to wait for Jiang Yan to come down with him.

Jiang Yan closed the door casually and was about to go with her, when she suddenly heard her say: "My mother and I told you that you were painting in the study room, if she asks later, you..."

"I know, I won't say anything."

The two went to the living room together, and when Mother Xia saw them coming, her serious expression eased a little.

Xia Yining sat beside Xia's mother and held her hand: "Jiang Yan is here, just speak up if you have anything to say."

"Little Jiang, I came to see you tonight, mainly to talk about the Jiang family."

Jiang Yan and Xia Yining looked at each other, never expecting Xia's mother to say this.

"Before Jiang's bankruptcy, Jiang Daming went to Xia's several times, looking for your father and your brother."

Even if Jiang Yan didn't know the details, she could roughly guess this matter, but she didn't understand why Xia's mother would suddenly mention this matter today.

"Your father and I only found out today that he made a deal with Chen Yong using one of Jiang's assets."

Jiang Yan frowned: "Before the Jiang family went bankrupt and liquidated, they were already insolvent. How could they have assets?"

"It was transferred overseas more than a year ago, and it was held by others, so it has no direct relationship with Jiang in name."

Jiang Yan suddenly remembered the phone call he heard outside Jiang Daming's room that day, but he was not sure whether it was related.

Xia's mother sighed softly, with hidden worries hidden in her eyes: "Originally, your father and I felt a little guilty about Jiang's bankruptcy, and worried that you, Xiao Jiang, had thoughts in your heart. But the transaction between Chen Yong and Jiang Daming never He didn’t tell us, if he didn’t know about it by chance, he would probably continue to be kept in the dark.”

Speaking of this, Xia's mother slowly looked at Jiang Yan, and said softly: "Little Jiang, how much do you know about this situation?"

Xia Yining was the first to speak: "Mom, Jiang Yan has never worked for Jiang's, and she didn't get involved in the bankruptcy before, so what can she know?"

Xia's mother stroked the back of her daughter's hand a few times: "Don't worry, I don't doubt Xiao Jiang, I really want to ask her if she has any clues."

Jiang Yan thought about it seriously, and faced Xia's mother's earnest gaze, he could only shake his head helplessly: "Mom, my father and my brother are almost responsible for the business at home, and I know very little about it."

Although Xia's mother was disappointed, she also guessed the result in advance.

"I'm just here to ask, and I don't have anything else to do, but don't let Chen Yong know about this when you go back to the mansion."

Mother Xia sat there for a short time and was ready to go back. If it hadn't happened suddenly, she wouldn't have made a special trip at night.

After she left, Xia Yining and Jiang Yan sat in the living room and didn't go back to their room, but they didn't speak.

After a long silence, Xia Yining felt a little strange seeing Jiang Yan still frowning in thought.

"Since you don't know at all, don't think too much about it, let my father check it out slowly."

Jiang Yan looked up at her: "If it's such a simple matter, mom doesn't have to come over at night."

Xia Yining didn't know this truth, she just subconsciously didn't want to see Jiang Yan frowning tightly.

"I just hope this doesn't create new stress for you."

Jiang Yan smiled at her, and comforted her in turn: "It's a private deal between my brother and your brother. I have no pressure. It's you instead, don't think too much."

Xia Yining's face froze, and he took a deep look at Jiang Yan, as if he was about to inquire about something, and asked a little bit: "What do you think I will think?"

Although Jiang Yan felt that her attitude had changed a bit, he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, and said bluntly: "Since it is a private transaction, there is a high probability that I don't want the company to know. Judging by your brother's position, he should know that he can't do this kind of thing." .”

Xia Yining frowned, and pondered for a moment: "We'll just pretend we don't know about this for the time being, and we'll talk about it after we find out."

Mother Xia came to visit unexpectedly that night, coming and going in a hurry, and didn't care to observe the love life of the young couple.

Jiang Yan knew that Jiang Daming was still in touch with Jiang's mother, but she didn't plan to go to him directly, after all, there was a lot of trouble during the bankruptcy period.Mother Xia didn't ask about this again, and she and Xia Yining didn't mention anything in front of Xia Chenyong, as if they didn't know anything about it.

Boss Qian said that all the machines in the factory have been put online, but the problem of negative reviews has not been resolved. He is afraid that after the increase in production, sales will drop sharply, and he will lose even more.

At noon this day, Jiang Yan got off work later than usual, and on the way to the cafeteria, he saw Li Xiaoyuan throwing a box of things into the trash can.If it wasn't for being too familiar with the packaging, Jiang Yan wouldn't be able to recognize what it was at a glance.

She walked over quickly, and walked to the cafeteria side by side with Li Xiaoyuan: "Didn't you say that you brought lunch at noon, that you're not full?"

"Don't mention it, I followed the trend and bought a semi-finished product from an old store that has become very popular recently, but it turned out to be unpalatable."

Li Xiaoyuan is not an overly picky person, and she is not picky when she goes to the cafeteria.But her look and tone just now clearly showed her extreme disappointment with the half-finished product.

"How bad is it?"

"I can't swallow it at all. I think it's worse than my cat food."

Jiang Yan couldn't help frowning, how is it possible?Could it be the counterfeit packaging, so she misread it just now?

"Which brand of semi-finished products are you talking about? Tell me, and let me also avoid lightning."

"Old and strong, it is said that the old store produces it in person, and you have to queue up in the store to buy it. A while ago, it was rare to see the revival of the old store. I was quite happy. I didn't expect this kind of routine again after it became popular."

Li Xiaoyuan's disappointment is beyond words, she is looking forward to the revival of the old store.How much he was looking forward to at the beginning, but now he is so disappointed. Jiang Yan realized that if this matter drags on, more guests might be disappointed.

But Jiang Yan heard something wrong from what he just said: "Xiao Yuan, didn't you go to the old store to buy it yourself?"

"I usually have no time to go to work, and my home is far away, so I don't want to go there on weekends, and it is said that there is a limit, and if I go late, it will be gone." She wants to sleep in on weekends, so naturally she is not happy to wake up early.

"Then where did you get your stuff?"

Speaking of this, Li Xiaoyuan was even more distressed: "I bought it from a scalper, and the price is increased by [-] per box, and the price starts from five boxes!"

Five boxes, this is the maximum quantity that the old store limits to each customer, but it still fails to prevent the existence of scalpers.

Seeing Jiang Yan's serious expression, Li Xiaoyuan asked in a low voice: "Director, are you trying to criticize me for spending money to indulge scalpers? I know it's wrong, but I really want to eat, and it's also to support the old shop."

Now that I think about it, I regret it very much. Not to mention the extra money, I didn’t get any delicious food.

Jiang Yan stopped, turned around and prepared to go back, making Li Xiaoyuan at a loss.

"I suddenly remembered that there is something I haven't finished. You should go to dinner first."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yan walked away quickly, for fear that he would not be found if it was too late.

She went back to the trash can where Li Xiaoyuan threw the semi-finished products just now, and after opening the lid, she found that it was almost full, and she couldn't find the familiar packaging at a glance.

Jiang Yan took a deep breath, pushed aside the trash on the upper layer with his hands, and finally found the obvious three words.

The semi-finished product has been heated, half of the food inside is still in the box, and half has fallen into the garbage bag.The box looked like it had long lost its cleanliness and refinement, and was full of filth and dilapidation.

Jiang Yan pulled some paper towels from the side and barely wrapped them up. She glanced at the remnants in the box in a hurry, and found that it was indeed not normal, and it was different from the ones she bought back.

Regardless of the surprised looks from the passers-by, Jiang Yan took the things back to his office as quickly as possible.In order to avoid the retention of peculiar smell, she packed it in a sealed bag and put several layers of kraft paper bags on it.

Li Xiaoyuan's experience gave Jiang Yanxin inspiration.If this item is not bought directly from an old store, there will be an extra link. Will someone steal the beam and replace it with a second-tier one?

After Jiang Yan got off work, he took the evidence he fished out of the trash can to the old store. This time everyone looked at it carefully, and it turned out that even the outer packaging was a fake.

Boss Qian was furious: "People nowadays are crazy about money, and they won't let go of such a petty profit. This is food that must go into the stomach. What if it spoils!"
