The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

As she was thinking, she turned over.

The sleeping areas in the detention center are not bunk beds. In order to eliminate any dangers caused by uncontrollable facilities, the room is terribly simple.

There is a large bunk bed where twelve people sleep.

Each person has only a fist-sized space between him and his cellmate, and any small movement could disturb others.

But in such weather, only a god can sleep well.

Although the entire prison was very quiet, so quiet that one could hear the sound of breathing, only a few people actually fell asleep.

Everyone is silently thinking about their own things, some are tormented by the present, and some are confused about the future.

It is precisely because we don't know what the outcome will be, whether we will be released safely from prison or be sentenced to severe punishment, that it seems so torturous. Especially since we know nothing about the news from the outside world, every minute and every second we stay here seems as long as a whole century.

A few days ago, Jiang Ruxue was in the same state.

At this moment, she felt fortunate to have survived the disaster.

She will stay there for two more days to avoid the limelight, and when things outside are completely over, she can be released.

There is an unwritten rule in the detention center.

Since the toilet is located on the side of the large bunk bed closest to the door and is only a few inches away from the beds next to it, people sleeping there have to endure unimaginable stench. This is not because the detention center is inhumane, but because once you have entered here, you have lost the right to choose the environment.

Generally, the person who sleeps next to the toilet hole is a newcomer.

You have to wait until the next new person comes in to become the second in line.

Jiang Ruxue slept next to the toilet for more than a week, enduring unimaginable pain. The most annoying thing was when someone needed to go to the toilet in the middle of the night.

Whenever that happened, she would turn her face away, close her eyes, and hold her breath silently.

Until that person finishes.

The reason why she said she had a very comfortable day today was because there were new people in the prison and she finally got rid of that position and moved in as she wished.

almost……

She only needs to endure for two more days, and this torture and pain will be over. Outside, she can regain her original glamour and beauty, and will never remember this hellish time again.

Long thoughts were spreading, and before I knew it, more than an hour had passed since the lights were turned off.

There was already a slight snoring sound next to me.

Jiang Ruxue was feeling sleepy, but unexpectedly, the more she tried to sleep, the more awake she became. She simply closed her eyes to rest.

……

Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes stepping on the concrete floor in the corridor was heard, a very rhythmic "tapping" sound, and the sound of faint conversations could be heard occasionally.

Whenever you stay in prison for a few days, you will become extremely sensitive to the sound of leather shoes.

This means the prison guards are here.

I don't know how many prisoners who were still awake opened their eyes and turned their heads slightly to look outside the corridor.

The same is true for Jiang Ruxue.

But she didn't expect that the "tapping" sound would get closer and closer to the prison where she was, and finally stopped outside the corridor.

She suddenly had a feeling in her heart that made her heart start beating "boom boom", and intuitively, she felt that it was coming towards her.

"No. 057, Jiang Ruxue, step out!"

The serious voice echoed in the empty corridor, sounding particularly harsh.

I don’t know how many people were frightened awake from their dreams.

Jiang Ruxue supported herself with one hand and stood up. The hair on her forehead fell down and there was a hint of confusion and panic in her eyes.

"I'm here."

"Come out with me." the prison guard said coldly.

"Hey, I get it."

The strong flashlight shone inside, making her feel very uncomfortable. Jiang Ruxue lowered her head to avoid it, got off the bunk bed, put on her slippers, and walked timidly to the door.

In the first half of her life, she always had beautiful makeup on her face when she met people, but now she has no makeup on and her short hair weighs down her shoulders.

You can still vaguely make out the exquisite face of the past, but her temperament is much worse now.

"Everyone else continue to sleep!"

The prison guard shouted, and several people in the cell who had raised their heads quickly retracted their necks, not daring to look again.

The prison door opened with the sound of a key shaking.

Another prison guard stood by the door, keenly observing the movements of the people inside, and only found Jiang Ruxue to come out.

She was confused and didn't know what was going on, but when the prison guards called her, Jiang Ruxue followed one of them and walked through the long, dark corridor together. She didn't dare to say much, let alone ask what was going on, and her heart began to uneasy.

Just like that, she was taken out of the detention center, walked around in a big circle, passed through the front hall, and even passed the towering gate she had come in through.

In this situation, even the most determined person would not be able to help but take a look.

After all, once you step out of this door, there is a free world outside.

She was led into a room in silence. The heavy security door was opened with a creak. The prison guard took the key and stood by the door. His voice was finally softer, not so harsh and emotionless anymore.

"Go in." He put away the key.

Jiang Ruxue walked in in panic.

It was the middle of the night. She was wearing the detention center's uniform, looking haggard. She looked like a ghost under the white light in the building.

When she walked into the office and took a quick look around, she couldn't help feeling a little frightened.

Because this is obviously the office of the officials in the institute, it is decorated in an antique style, and all kinds of facilities have a solemn atmosphere. There is a tea table in the center.

There was a short-haired woman in a dark slim-fit suit, pouring tea.

"Hello..." Jiang Ruxue asked in confusion.

The woman pouring tea heard the sound, raised her head quickly, put down the teapot and stood up quickly.

"Hello, hello, Mrs. Jiang."

The other person had a capable aura and was neatly dressed, exuding the temperament of a highly educated person who had been in a high position for a long time. The pair of high heels on her feet were also very charming, taking into account both business and comfort. Just from this outfit, Jiang Ruxue could almost tell at a glance that this woman's position was at least a senior executive of a company.

The other party took the initiative to come over and shake hands, and introduced himself, which confirmed her thoughts and also made Jiang Ruxue slightly stunned.

"I'm Zhou Cha, the secretary of Jiang's board of directors and the assistant secretary of Chairman Jiang's office. I'm sorry to bother you so late... Come on, Mrs. Jiang, please take a seat."

"It turned out to be Secretary Zhou."

Jiang Ruxue felt a little embarrassed. After sitting down, when Zhou Cha poured her tea, she quickly reached out to help.

The main reason was that she was in a bad state when they met, and she was still in the detention center, so it was normal for her to feel cramped. In addition, the other party's status was actually much higher than hers. The secretary of the board of directors was already a core senior executive of a company.

She thought that someone from Jiang's company would come to contact her, but she didn't expect the other party to be so anxious and came before she left.

"It was not my intention to have a hasty meeting at this place, but I have something important to discuss, and I have admired Madam Jiang for a long time, so I came here... Please have some tea."

"Secretary Zhou, you're too polite." Jiang Ruxue tried her best to maintain her decorum and took a sip of the Biluochun in the cup.

It tastes sweet and fragrant, and it is indeed a good tea. "I guess my young master has met you," Zhou Cha chuckled, "The child couldn't control his patience and came to see you in advance. We originally wanted to wait until you had dealt with everything on your side and then choose a formal day to meet. This is a bit rash and not in line with etiquette. Please forgive me, Madam."

"I have indeed met him. The young master is a handsome man, so it is not an offense. In fact, I should express my gratitude. If it were not for the great help from Young Master Jiang, I would not be able to go out. It would be too inhumane to make etiquette requests at this time." Jiang Ruxue said politely.

Both women are almost thousand-year-old foxes.

He also speaks in a more reserved manner.

Zhou Cha's eyes flickered, and he seemed to admire Jiang Ruxue's performance.

She had made all the preparations before coming. She didn't mind using both kindness and force to deal with this woman who was famous in Mingzhu City. However, the other party was so kind... It seems that life circumstances can really change a person from the inside out.

This way, she wouldn't have to waste any more words.

"Hey, Madam, you don't have to say that. When a family encounters problems, of course they should help each other. This child is really something. He didn't tell the elders at the first time, but solved it by himself, which took a lot of effort... But my young master has really grown up. Isn't this how society is? Only by adapting to the rules, using the rules, and playing with the rules can you have your own place."

"Secretary Zhou has profound insights."

"Oh, I have a little feeling. His ability to solve problems independently is a good thing that makes the adults happy. To be honest, even our chairman was a little surprised."

"Why is Secretary Zhou here this time?" Jiang Ruxue asked tentatively.

In fact, from the word "family" that Zhou Cha deliberately emphasized just now, it can be heard that she is here to talk about the engagement of the younger generations of the two families. She deliberately belittles Chen Yuan as a child and regards herself as an elder, which undoubtedly shows that no matter what promise Chen Yuan made to Jiang Ruxue before.

Now it doesn’t count.

Because children don't have to be responsible for what they say, it's just a joke.

The future arrangements will still be decided by the "adults".

There is no doubt that Jiang Ruxue also heard the deeper meaning and began to test it.

"In the blink of an eye, our young master has reached the age of marriage. You must be so lucky to meet such good girls like Ningning and Yaoyao. The fate of the three of us is really like destiny. I wonder what Madam Jiang thinks?"

"Me? As a mother... I naturally hope that my daughter can find a good home. As long as she is happy and her husband's family doesn't treat her harshly, that's already a blessing."

"Yes, that's right. The elders all have this mentality. The key lies in the younger generation themselves. Young people now have many ideas. This is not the time for parents to arbitrarily guide them." Zhou Cha agreed.

"It's just that both of my daughters like your young master... It's really hard to predict." Jiang Ruxue hoped for this, but she still pretended to be polite. "Two girls marrying one man is a rare example, and I'm afraid it will be criticized."

"Mrs. Jiang, you don't have to worry about this. As long as you agree, we will definitely get things done properly. To be honest, we have already started preparing. Jiang's company has recently focused on foreign energy markets and has close cooperation with Qatar. My young master had an alias before, so whether he stays in China or goes abroad, it will be done once and for all."

"Really?"

“Never fake it.”

"As an elder, I definitely hope that my daughters will live a happy life. The young master is also a talented young man. If both daughters are willing to get married, I have no objection." Jiang Ruxue suppressed her pounding heart and spoke as calmly as possible.

"But that's the problem," Zhou Cha sighed, "Young people are somewhat confused about the future and are wavering now, especially your daughter Jiang Ning."

"What's up with her?"

"She is not very willing to get married... Actually, it's not that she doesn't want to get married, but she has too many things to worry about. Madam Jiang, please persuade her not to miss this hard-earned fate."

"I haven't asked her about this. When I have the chance, I will listen to her true thoughts, because Ningning has always been a very opinionated child." Even though she knew the current relationship status of the three, Jiang Ruxue still pretended.

In essence, Chen Yuan’s opinions may not be completely consistent with those of his family.

She can't offend either side.

"Who said she wasn't? Ningning is a very good child. Chairman Jiang is very satisfied with her. He discussed it with the young master's adoptive parents a few days ago. Let's get things done first. Whether it's engagement or other matters, Yaoyao will have her share. She will be treated equally. Even if she regrets before the marriage, it's fine. What's most important is to follow her heart."

"Ah? Does Ningning know about this?"

"I told her. I told her in the sanatorium."

"If Ningning doesn't want to do this, then all this work will be in vain, and we won't be able to show our sincerity to Chairman Jiang... We must let our relatives and friends know about the engagement."

"It doesn't matter. Face is a small matter. Their happiness is what matters."

"I understand. I will definitely ask her opinion when I have the chance," Jiang Ruxue nodded and said, "If there are any requests at that time, I hope Chairman Jiang will cooperate with me and consider everything for the normal progress of the marriage."

"Hearing what Madam Jiang said, are you sure?" Zhou Cha's eyes lit up.

“There are some, but I dare not exaggerate now.”

"Well, you can contact me if you need anything. Please take care of it, Mrs. Jiang."

Zhou Cha said this with a faint smile.

She suddenly took the briefcase beside her, took out a document from it, and placed it on the table under Jiang Ruxue's puzzled gaze.

"I've often heard of Madam Jiang's achievements in the business world, and I've long admired her. I'm very sorry that she made a mistake this time... I wonder what Madam Jiang thinks after she comes out?"

"Not yet." Jiang Ruxue waited for her next words.

"I have been wanting to create an affordable luxury brand for years, but I am not good at marketing and promotion, and I need an expert to check the specific matters. After much thought, Mrs. Jiang is the best partner. If you are interested, you can take a look at my cooperation plan. Funding is not a problem at all."

"Am I cooperating with Secretary Zhou?" She was a little surprised.

"Correct."

It's really unheard of to discuss cooperation with the owner of a business that just went bankrupt.

Jiang Ruxue knew with her toes that this was not cooperation, but a gift as a gesture of goodwill.

This is what it means to be from a wealthy family, generous and lavish in everything you do.

After flipping through the documents for a while, Jiang Ruxue was secretly shocked by the huge amount of funds in the documents.

"Excuse me," she said after she recovered from her shock, "Is this what Chairman Jiang meant?"

"No, this is my personal opinion." Zhou Cha smiled, without any sign of lying.

"understood."

"Then I won't stay any longer. I'll take my leave now if I disturb Madam Jiang's rest."

After saying that, Zhou Cha didn't say anything more. He picked up his bag, stood up and shook hands with Jiang Ruxue.

He walked out of the house at a leisurely pace.

Jiang Ruxue was left alone in the office, and it took her a long time to recover from the meeting.

This was the simplest conspiracy. They offered her a condition that she could not refuse. If she agreed, she would be tied down by Jiang's company. It went without saying that this light luxury brand was just an excuse. They just gave her something to do and kept her under control. Zhou Cha was also someone who could completely rival her.

But Jiang Ruxue is no longer the woman who puts profit first.

She would rather accept this bondage in exchange for the trust of the Jiang family.

In other words, it is also for the good of the two daughters.

Besides, the funds were really generous, so she had no reason to refuse.

Just thinking about it.

The prison guard pushed the door open and walked in.

"Ms. Jiang," the prison guard suddenly stopped calling her by her number and said calmly, "You don't have to go back to the prison. Your things have been packed and you have been moved to a new room. I'll take you there."

"Eh."

Jiang Ruxue suppressed her excitement and nodded quickly. (End of this chapter)
