Chapter 219 Talking about Cooperation
At dusk, the courtyard is shrouded in a soft golden glow.
The glazed tiles on the roof shimmer in the setting sun, giving this quaint courtyard an air of prosperity.
"Is everything ready?"
Jiang Ning was tired of playing with the children. She raised her hand and looked at the time. It was almost five o'clock.
It was originally planned to treat Robert and his family to dinner at noon, but he had something to do and changed it to dinner.
Fortunately, they bought a barbecue grill and planned to have barbecue in the evening.
Lin Chen and others have been busy in the kitchen for two hours.
"We're almost ready. I'll set up the barbecue grill. You go to the door to see if Robert has arrived?"
He responded from inside the room.
The newly renovated courtyard house has undergone a lot of renovations inside, but the courtyard generally retains its original layout.
There is a large locust tree in the southwest corner of the yard, half a meter thick, with lush branches and leaves, covering half of the yard.
Jiang Ning led Jiaojiao to the open courtyard door. As soon as she leaned out, she saw a black antique car parked in the alley.
Robert, his wife Anna, and his little daughter Sofia got out of the car and walked towards them with smiles on their faces.
"Welcome~" Jiang Ning stepped forward and hugged Anna.
Anna is a quiet lady. She is wearing an evening dress and stands next to Robert, who is wearing a shirt and tie. They are a perfect match and eye-catching.
When Jiaojiao saw Sophia, she immediately grinned, followed her mother's example, and stepped forward to hug her.
"you are so beutiful!"
Sofia was wearing a pink princess dress with a gauze outer layer, her golden hair was spread behind, and she had a crown-like hairpin on her head. She was indeed very beautiful.
Usually everyone praises Jiaojiao for being as beautiful as a doll, but today she finally knows what a doll looks like.
Sophia smiled with an arrogant look on her face: "You are beautiful too!"
Jiaojiao is wearing clothes made by Wang Xiufen today, a pocket-sized version of the Hefu. The water-red satin makes her little face look white and tender. She has two small buns on her head. She looks very cute, no less beautiful. Sophia.
Jiang Ning invited the family into the yard, came to the dining table under the locust tree, and invited them to sit down.
Lin Chen and others came over and greeted them.
Robert can speak a few broken Chinese, and Anna can only say "Hello".
A lame "hello" suddenly sounded in the yard.
Jiang Ning told her in English that she didn't need to be formal and just treat her as her own home.
Robert took her for a walk in the yard.
After they came to the imperial capital, they had always yearned for the life in a courtyard house. Now, they could finally appreciate the unique charm of a courtyard house up close.
The houses made of mahogany are well-proportioned, with carved beams and painted beams, and the courtyard with a small pond and rockery is also particularly elegantly decorated.
The third yard they entered was the front yard.
Walking inside, the scenery in each courtyard is different. Strolling inside, smelling the fragrance of locust flowers, feeling the tranquility and beauty.
Jiaojiao and Sophia held hands and wandered around the yard. They were always curious when they saw a strange stone or a piece of grass.
Tongtong is not as active as she is. When she meets Sophia, she is also a fun-loving person, and the two quickly get to play together.
"It's time to eat~"
As the aroma of mutton spread, Jiang Ning shouted inside.
Robert and Anna came back with joy on their faces.
“Your home is amazing.”
Jiang Ning smiled brightly: "Thank you, you can come often in the future. Try our barbecue."
In front of each of them was a small bowl of egg fried rice, a plate with freshly grilled lamb skewers and small steaks, and a plate of vegetable salad.
Anna was very pleasantly surprised. She originally thought she would eat a fatty Chinese meal, but her stomach was not good and she wanted to eat less!
She picked up a skewer of mutton and began to feast on it.
The night fell and the stars were twinkling. Everyone was chatting and laughing together, and unknowingly spent more than two hours of pleasant time.
What a rare night, we are from different countries and speak different languages, but we sit together and communicate with each other through laughter and delicious food.
Jiang Ning originally wanted to talk to Robert about business, but finally gave up.
Unexpectedly, while waiting for dessert after dinner, Robert took the initiative to talk to her in the study.
"Ms. Jiang, if you invite me here, it must not be as simple as just having barbecue." He asked while admiring some antiques on the ancient shelf.
Jiang Ning smiled and straightened a piece of porcelain:
"Sure enough, nothing can escape your eyes, so I will speak frankly.
I hope to cooperate with you and open a trading company. "
Robert seemed to have been prepared and was not too surprised.
"Do you think you have that strength? Now foreign customers only recognize Jack."
He didn't deny it, but raised questions, proving that there was something serious about it.
"Most of Jack's customers are not introduced by you, why don't you keep the customers and make wedding dresses for others!
As a diplomat, you cannot register a company yourself, so you can let Anna register it.
I have been studying in a foreign trade company for half a year, and I am already able to take charge of my own business. If we work together, we will definitely capture the market immediately. "
What's more, Jack is currently involved in a lawsuit, and his relationship with Lisa is unclear. Sooner or later, the company will become corrupt.
She analyzed patiently.
Robert just stared at a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, as if he was admiring it, but also seemed to be thinking. After a while, he spoke:
"You wait for my news."
Half an hour later, Jiang Ning's family sent Robert and others to the car.
Sophia hugged Jiaojiao and refused to let go, insisting on staying.
She likes it here so much and loves playing with Jiaojiao.
And Tongtong, he always seems to have a straight face, but he knows a lot.
After reluctantly letting go of Jiaojiao, she wanted to hug Tongtong again, but Tongtong avoided her.
"No, no, no, you are a little girl! Don't hug boys at all times."
He refused vehemently, his cheeks turning red.
Jiang Ning translated his words to Sophia, and Sophia couldn't help but reach out and pinch his face.
"you are so cute!"
Tongtong froze on the spot, his face so red that he could bleed.
Wow, was he molested by her just now?
No, he couldn't lose. The next second, he pinched her face and said with a smile:
"Goodbye."
The innocent interaction between several children made everyone burst into laughter.
After sending Robert's family away, when Jiang Ning finally entered the yard, she heard Ji Yang's voice in the yard next door.
She quickly grilled the unfinished skewers, put them on a plate, and sent them to him.
Ji Yang and Mr. Ji were sitting under the tree drinking, and there was a plate of peanuts on the table.
This plate of meat skewers is perfect for drinking.
After Jiang Ning put down her things and left, Ji Tingting came out of the room and said with disdain:
"This woman is really good at what she does. She just made a foreigner smile, and now she's going to be very courteous to you again.
When she gives you something, she must not be holding anything back! "
Ji Yang was so angry, how could this child be so ignorant.
It's weird for someone to send some food, but Jiang Ning is the benefactor who saved her brother!
He couldn't help but slap her.
Ji Tingting couldn't stand hearing it and ran out of the door angrily.
