Hong Kong Film: Jimmy? Please call me Councillor Li

Chapter 323 Distributing Mooncakes for Mid-Autumn Festival

For tea connoisseur Li Jiayuan, Lu Jiamei's methods were far too rudimentary.

This woman is obviously not a good person. In the original story, she first seduced He Ma's eldest son, Aka, and then made all sorts of disgusting and malicious accusations against A Yue.

Ah Yue truly is the number one tragic character in the story of "A Happy Family, A Full Moon".

After being exposed by Aka, this guy seduced He Ma's other son, Gan Yongyuan, who lived with the Gan family. Yes, that's the sweet potato Yuan.

The most outrageous thing is that Lu Jiamei had a child with a foreigner and wanted Sweet Potato Ball to take over the baby. Afraid of being found out that she had an abortion, she even framed her family.

Then came the famous scene of "Moonlight Reunion," where Aunt Sa teaches her daughter a lesson by giving her a good slap.

Ironically, in the end, Sweet Potato Ball still chose to forgive Lu Jiamei, this pure-blooded scumbag, and forcibly made dumplings. I believe that anyone who watched this TV series must have been furious at the ending.

Therefore, when Li Jiayuan saw Lu Jiamei in person, he naturally didn't have a pleasant expression.

Li Jiayuan ignored it completely. Lu Jiamei tried to speak several times, but Li Jiayuan deliberately didn't look at it or give it a chance to speak.

Knowing that Li Jiayuan had arrived, not only He Ma, but also the housekeeper who was making cakes inside, and everyone else, including Lianzirong, came out.

For He Ma's family, Li Jiayuan is their great benefactor.

If it weren't for Li Jiayuan's help, they would definitely have had to spend money to avoid disaster this time.

They met by chance, yet he showed them great kindness. He Ma's family is grateful and remembers Li Jiayuan's kindness, and they were just worried about not having a chance to repay him.

"Brother Yuan*1"

"Ayuan"

"Brother Yuan*3"

Of those present, only the older He Ma addressed Li Jiayuan without using a respectful title; everyone else called him Brother Yuan.

He Ma looked at A Yue.

"Go and move that over here."

Ah Yue understood immediately and went to the back storeroom. Soon she brought back a jar, the kind used for pickling sauerkraut.

From a distance, Li Jiayuan could smell a sour odor, and his eyes lit up.

"Pig's feet in ginger sauce?"

The butler placed his hands on Aunt He's shoulders and said:

He Ma specially went to several markets to buy the best ginger and pork trotters to make a stew, which is the best for pregnant women.

"That's such a hassle."

Li Jiayuan spoke politely, but his actions betrayed his words. He directly measured the weight of the jar with his hands and had the two attendants beside him carry it onto the cart.

Ruan Mei made a pot of it a while ago, and Huang Lei ate it all as a side dish, even gnawing on the ginger. This one is just the right amount to continue the tradition.

The sour smell made him a little hungry, but he only liked the eggs inside.

This jar is so big that it takes two people, Guan Jiazi and A Yue, to move it. I wonder how many pots of broth it would take to make a jar like this.

"Thank you so much, Aunt He. You always bring me something every time I come. I feel so bad about it."

"Hey, I should be thanking you."

Lu Jiamei, standing to the side, couldn't get a word in edgewise. Seeing Li Jiayuan chatting and laughing with He Ma's family, she realized they were easy to get along with, and her mind started working again.

His return this time was purely coincidental; he happened to overhear his mother talking about the lawsuit that day.

She didn't believe it at first, but she found out after checking. It was said that He Ma and her family knew big bosses in Hong Kong Island and hired lawyers who earned tens of millions a year.

They're being modest. This guy named Li Jiayuan is more than just a big boss; he's a member of a wealthy and powerful family in Hong Kong.

He was worth tens or hundreds of billions, and from then on, he begged to come and help out at the bakery. This was the only place he could get in touch with Li Jiayuan, and sure enough, he got his wish.

Looking at their interactions with Li Jiayuan now, they seem quite familiar with each other, so doesn't that give her an even better chance?

Lu Jiamei has already begun to fantasize about marrying into a wealthy family in the future and living a wonderful life as a rich wife.

As for that Mrs. Li, she didn't take her seriously. In this world, there's no wall that can't be broken down. If you want to be superior to others, you have to be willing to go all out.

Yin Hong only got what she is today because she stole He Ma's man and became Gan Taizu's mistress.

If Yin Hong can do it, then Lu Jiamei certainly can too.

"By the way, Aunt He, I came here this time to tell you something."

"Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I'd like to prepare mooncake gift boxes for my company. I'd like to ask your store to help me make them. Can you spare the time?"

"Ah~"

"Brother Yuan, are you serious? You want our shop to make mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Great! Business hasn't been very good lately, so more orders would be great."

"You big dummy! A Yuan's company must have tens of thousands of employees. We can only make a few hundred mooncakes a day at most. How can we possibly keep up?"

Faced with Ah Yue and Guan Jiazi's excitement, He Ma gave them a stern warning.

The other people in the store immediately felt deflated. Yes, they had underestimated the situation; their store couldn't possibly handle such a large order.

My grandfather's shop is about the same; they have over thirty branches, so they can definitely make it.

Lu Jiamei was shocked. What kind of company has tens of thousands of employees? That's too many! This is what real wealth looks like.

He used to think that He Ma's ex-husband's side was already rich enough, but now, in comparison, they weren't even worthy of carrying his shoes.

Li Jiayuan smiled.

“I can manage it. This time I’m only making a few thousand gift boxes, which will only be distributed to the company’s administrative staff. I’ve already found a shop to help with the other employees’ boxes.”

“Several thousand, including your whole family, including Uncle Da, if not, we should be able to manage it.”

"Really! That's wonderful!"

He Ma's family was overjoyed, dancing with excitement. Their small bakery had never received such a large order before. If they could make it...
That's more than they would earn selling here for several months.

Recently, due to the lawsuit, business at the store has been very difficult, and hardly anyone is buying mooncakes.

"Brother Yuan, I saw the news yesterday. I heard that your company is going to apply for a new gambling license in Macau. The news said that just the qualifications alone would cost billions. Is that true?"

"You still read these news articles? That's about right. I'm just applying to give it a try. It doesn't matter whether I get it or not."

"By the way, what are your plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival? I haven't met everyone yet. When are you going to treat me to a meal so I can meet them?"

During their casual conversation, Li Jiayuan abruptly changed the subject, causing everyone's expressions to shift dramatically, with A-Yue expressing her indignation.

“Brother Yuan, you have no idea how awful that Yin Hong is. We agreed to change the signboard, and then they invited Aka and the others to come and have dinner with Grandpa this Mid-Autumn Festival. But now they’ve changed their minds at the last minute.”

"We've even changed our signboard."

He Ma shook her head helplessly. This time, she didn't stop A Yue from telling Li Jiayuan, since Li Jiayuan already knew about their family's affairs anyway.

"Really? That's terrible."

Li Jiayuan nodded in "shock".

"Then what are you going to do?"

"Butler is going to accompany Aunt He to settle accounts with them."
