Chapter 583: Family Meeting

Jiang Zhengmin held the remote control, watching the evening news, yawning from time to time.

Zhao Yulan sat on the sofa with her arms crossed and legs crossed, constantly looking at the quartz clock hanging on the wall.

Seeing it was almost 10:30, there was a knock on the door from outside.

Zhao Yulan sat there without moving. Jiang Zhengmin helplessly put down the remote control and got up to open the door.

"Dad!" Jiang Yuhai and Wu Minwei walked in: "Mom, it's so late, why did you call us?"

Zhao Yulan slapped the coffee table with a "pa." Jiang Yuhai and Wu Minwei went over to look; it was Jiang Yuyue's advertisement poster.

"This dead girl, so rebellious. I called you here to hold a meeting to study how to deal with her."

Jiang Zhengmin said: "Behead her at the Meridian Gate."

Zhao Yulan glared fiercely at Jiang Zhengmin: "If you can speak like a human, speak. If you can't, just stay honestly to the side."

Jiang Zhengmin sighed and hid to the side, starting to play dumb.

"Yuyue is indeed a bit unreasonable, but she's in Beijing, how can you deal with her?" Jiang Yuhai shook his head helplessly: "The general is away, and the monarch's orders may not be accepted. She's grown up, her wings are hard, and we can't control her anymore."

"Hmph!" Zhao Yulan snorted coldly: "No matter how hard her wings are, how high she flies, or how far she flies, I'm still her mother. On some matters, I have a bottom line. If she dares to step on it, I will resolutely strike and never be soft-hearted."

Jiang Zhengmin opened his mouth to speak, but Zhao Yulan glared at him, scaring him into swallowing the words that had already reached his lips.

Wu Minwei asked with a smile: "Mom, how do you want to deal with Yuyue?"

Zhao Yulan said: "Isn't that why I let you come back to discuss?"

Jiang Yuhai said: "She's in Beijing and won't come back. What can you do to her? Can you even drag her back?"

"Right!" Zhao Yulan said: "Just drag her back. Anyway, she's almost ready to get her graduation certificate."

Looking at his mother's expression, Jiang Yuhai said blankly: "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Zhao Yulan said through gritted teeth: "Not picking up my phone, she's rebelling. We must drag her back; we'll all go."

Wu Minwei asked cautiously: "Mom, is it just because Yuyue shot this advertisement?"

Zhao Yulan didn't speak, but her gloomy face explained everything.

Jiang Zhengmin couldn't help it anymore: "I called Yuyue."

Zhao Yulan looked up suddenly: "She picked up?"

Jiang Zhengmin nodded: "She picked up."

"Picked up?" Zhao Yulan was panting with anger: "Fine, fine, Jiang Yuyue, you're playing this game with me, right? I called you so many times, and you didn't pick up a single one. You're really something."

Jiang Zhengmin said: "I called, didn't she pick up?"

"Shut up!" Zhao Yulan shouted angrily: "I'm asking you, didn't you hear me?"

Jiang Zhengmin seemed not to have heard and said nothing.

Zhao Yulan roared in anger: "I'm asking you, didn't you hear me?"

Jiang Zhengmin looked innocent: "Didn't you tell me to shut up?"

"Fine, fine, fine." Zhao Yulan pointed at Jiang Zhengmin: "That dead girl Jiang Yuyue is making me angry, and you're making me angry too, right? Fine, wait until I'm angered to death, then you two will be happy."

"Who's making you angry?" Jiang Zhengmin said: "You're willing to be angry yourself, who can you blame?"

Seeing that a war was about to break out, Jiang Yuhai hurriedly said: "Dad, what did Yuyue say? Why is she still entangled with Zhou Andong and even doing advertisements for his products? Is her brain flooded?"

Jiang Zhengmin said: "Zhou Andong gave her three million in endorsement fees."

"Clatter!" Jiang Yuhai was holding a lighter and was about to light a cigarette. Hearing Jiang Zhengmin's words, the lighter in his hand clattered to the ground.

"Dad, you... you... you said, how... how much money?" Jiang Yuhai's mouth was crooked, and he couldn't speak clearly.

Zhao Yulan widened her eyes, looking at Jiang Zhengmin in disbelief.

Wu Minwei opened her mouth wide, her throat rolling: "Dad, did you just say Zhou Andong gave Yuyue three million in endorsement fees?"

"Right!" Jiang Zhengmin said: "Three million, what reason does Yuyue have not to earn this money?"

"Three million, Zhou Andong gave it just like that, he definitely has bad intentions." Zhao Yulan was still being stubborn, but her tone softened, losing the aggressive momentum from just now.

Jiang Yuhai picked up the lighter, clicked it, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and took a deep breath.

"I've been running the restaurant for almost a year, working hard every day, and I've only earned a little over 100,000. I thought I was a successful person. I didn't expect Jiang Yuyue to earn three million just by taking a few photos. If I don't eat or drink, I'd have to run the restaurant for thirty years to earn that."

Wu Minwei's eyes lit up: "Dahai, Yuyue is a celebrity now. How about we find her and let her endorse our restaurant?"

Jiang Yuhai was stunned, then reacted and said happily: "This is a good idea. I'll call her tomorrow."

"I'm going to sleep." Zhao Yulan got up and walked toward the bedroom.

Jiang Zhengmin waved his hand at his son and daughter-in-law: "You guys go back too."

Because of the three-million endorsement fee, the expanded meeting to denounce Jiang Yuyue ended without a whimper.

April 16, 1993, the 25th day of the third lunar month, Friday!

Houhai, The First Bar!

Zhou Andong watched Zhou Yitiao holding a guitar, singing "Cheers, Friend."

Guan Shengjie sat opposite him. Seeing Zhou Andong watching the resident singer, he said: "Do you have any ideas, kid? Let me tell you, Seeing Jian Qiu doesn't tolerate sand in her eyes. If you dare to do anything to let her down, you'll have it coming."

Zhou Andong took a sip of beer: "This girl is thin and skinny, and not that pretty. Do you think I'd have any ideas?"

Guan Shengjie said: "Then why do you keep staring at her?"

Zhou Andong said: "I just feel this girl has a lot of spirit and will definitely become a big star in the future."

Guan Shengjie said amusingly: "Why do I feel you're becoming more and more like a charlatan?"

Zhou Andong shrugged: "Don't believe me? How about we make a bet?"

Guan Shengjie said: "Bet on what?"

Zhou Andong tapped the table with his hand: "Let's bet on a meal of wine, right here."

"No problem!" Guan Shengjie agreed without hesitation.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm late." Du Youwei walked over quickly and sat down beside Guan Shengjie.

Zhou Andong said: "If you're late, you have to be punished with a glass of wine."

"No problem!" Du Youwei opened a bottle of beer, tilted her head back, and drank it all very boldly, not leaving a single drop.

Zhou Andong gave a thumbs up: "Sister Wei is still the most straightforward. Look at this man named Guan Shengjie, he was late, dilly-dallying, and hasn't even finished one bottle yet."

Du Youwei smiled and said: "In such a rush to find us, is something up?"

Zhou Andong said: "I'm going to hold a press conference, at 1:00 PM tomorrow." ===== CHAPTER 584 =====
