Chapter 382 The Political Marriage (Part One)


    "It''s so rare for you to be so open-minded." Mandy gave her a fake smile. She took a sip of tea and got


    down to business. "Are you really not going to have dinner with Bles tonight?"


    "If Bles want to catch up on the old days, I will prepare the best Longjing tea for him in my office


    tomorrow." Essie said with a mischievous smile.


    Mandy knew that she couldn''t invite this honorabledy to dinner today, so she had to go back and tell


    Bles the truth. If he was rejected again, he must fly into a rage.

    As the saying went, ''be careful is the best strategy''. Now, Essie was very cautious. She wouldn''t ept


    any invitation from Elizabeth or Bles. It was hard to predict if these two old foxes would set any trap to


    attract her into it. And she wouldn''t trust them anymore.


    Of course, Bles couldn''t refuse to see her this time. He arrived at the Hengyuan building before noon


    the next day.


    "You are too busy to have dinner with me." He maintained a gentle smile on his face.


    "I''m really sorry, uncle Bles. I''ve been busytely, and I have to attend a lot of social activities." She


    smiled and asked her secretary to prepare the best Longjing tea.


    After they sat on the sofa face to face, Essie handed the tea to Bles respectfully. After all, he was her


    uncle, so she had to show her respect to him.


    "Uncle Bles, I know you like the Longjing tea the most, so I prepared this West Lake Longjing tea for


    you. It''s of extraordinary quality. Please have some and see how does it taste?"


    His face darkened as he said, "So you must know I''lle."


    "Since the new year, we haven''t seen each other. As a junior, I should visit you in person. But I''m too


    busy with the business of the group and have too many social engagements to spare time in a short


    time," Essie said in a polite way. She couldn''tpete with Bles regarding to cunning and scheming.


    Although she was inferior to Mr. Song, she could challenge him in strategy. Because she had Zac, this


    great strategist behind her.


    "Since you took office, you''ve done a great job. You have cut off a lot of the dead branches and rotten


    leaves in the group, and also dug out a lot of scum. It''s true that the ''Newborn calves are not afraid of


    tigers''," Bles said that in a meaningful way. He seemed to praise her, but in fact, he was mocking her


    for her arrogance.


    Of course, Essie knew what he meant. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, uncle Bles. In


    fact, I don''t want to be too aggressive. Slight negligence may lead to great damage. As a result, it will


    definitely have a bad impact on thepany''s reputation if it is not removed sooner."


    Bles picked up the porcin cup on the tea table and sipped at his tea.


    The taste of the tea was mellow, and the tip of his tongue was sweet. It was the top West Lake


    Longjing tea, but he didn''t have any thought to taste it. How could he have the mood to taste the tea at


    this time.


    "You have put too much strength on it. It will make everyone panic that they wouldn''t be able


    to focus on their work. People work here to make money. It is human nature for some of them to


    obsess with some more money and fame. Why do we make a fuss about it?" Bles said slowly.


    "You''re right, uncle Bles. I''ll pay attention to it." Essie smiled faintly, as if she was wearing a mask. In


    order not to let any other emotionse out, she only had a pair of deep and hard eyes, as if the dark


    sky had hidden all the secrets.


    Looking at her harmonious expression, Bles didn''t want to say more. He''d better get to the point as


    soon as possible.


    "I heard that you have sent someone to South Africa to clean up the local mining industry?"


    "I only change to a new management personnel ording to thepany''s policy," Essie said in a


    casual tone.


    "The overseas management personnel in the branch of South Africa are changed every three years. It


    has only been two years this year. Why did it suddenly change?" Bles chatted casually. After all, he


    was one of the major shareholders of the group. It was reasonable for him to ask about the great


    personnel change of the group.


    "Mr. Li''s wife has just given birth to their second child, one is elder and one is younger. Her wife can''t


    take care of them all by herself. Last month, she came to Mr. Ji and asked him to move Mr. Li back. I''ve


    done my research. Among the overseas workers in South Africa, four of them have their family here. It


    is not good for the couple to separate from each other for too long. So I changed these personnel in


    advance and sent some of the young people who are willing to start business there. I let them work


    hard there to make enough money so that they cane back to marry,"


    Essie said with a slight smile on her face, which fully showed how considerate she was to her


    employees as the new CEO. In fact, it was she who asked her men to take over the South Africa


    mining group, and cut off the smuggling activities. Bles was cut off from his business.


    "South Africa is a far more chaotic ce than our country. It was difficult to deal with the local


    government. If they were all reced now, they would have to spend more time and money to bribe


    these officials," Bles said in all sincerity, as if he waspletely considering for the Xu group.


    Essie shook her head and said, "Don''t worry about it, uncle Bles. I''ve already looked into it. The


    government has also changed a lot as the new mayor sworn in the local government. It''s the right time


    for them to meet the new mayor and build a new partner rtionship. "
