Her expression carried a hint of coldness and distance. "What is it?" she asked. Baiji paused. In the end, she still didn't mention what happened tonight.
"Mow meow. I have a gift for you. Are you free to find time to have a meal together in the next couple of days?" Seeing my hesitation, Baiji suddenly said, "There's a project on your uncle<unk>'s side. I can help with it." I was stunned. Baiji didn't say much more. "Think it over. Once you've decided, call me anytime."
I didn't say anything. To be honest, I didn't trust her because she and Zingchuan and Shangqingi were all close. If I had a conflict with Zingchuan in the future, who knew if she would be like Shangqingi and side with Zingshuan to take the project and threaten me with my uncle, perhaps guessing the reason for my hesitation? Baiji assured me, "I can guarantee you I will absolutely not mix personal matters with business." Hearing this, I asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?" Baiji nodded firmly. "I'm sure." I hesitated for a moment and said, "All right." Baiji smiled. "Whenever you have time, you can contact me. I'll arrange the meeting time." I nodded and didn't say anything more.
I got into the car. Bai Xi didn't move. As the car passed by her, I rolled down the window and nodded at her, then stepped on the gas and drove away, watching my car leave. Only then did Bai Xiang get into her car and leave.
I went back. The Jang family had called me back. Grandma Jang and the others were all there, clearly waiting for me. Grandma Jang reached out to me, "You're back." I walked over and sat beside her. Grandma Jiang held my hand and asked, "Shyang Shan, are you planning to let go of Shangqingi?" I slowly said, "We're<unk> preparing to divorce." Hearing this, the old lady smiled. "Divorce is good." But then immediately she frowned again. "Nyanian is very attached to her now. She has indeed treated Nyian quite well these past 2 years. She probably won't give you full custody of Nyanian." I just said about that. "I know. I'll discuss it with her properly." "It's getting late. Everyone should rest first."
Grandma and the others went to rest, but I still couldn't rest because Joe and Suan had talked a lot on the way back. When I got home, I received from Suaning a pile of project tasks with a note, "Teacher wants these finished before 6:00 a.m. tomorrow." I took a sip of water and replied, "Got it." I turned on the computer and immediately got busy. It wasn't until after 4:00 a.m. that I finally finished. Suan was also overwhelmed. "Teacher wants us to go there before 9:00." After setting an alarm for 8:00, I finally turned off the lights and went to bed.
The next day when I was woken by the alarm, my whole body felt weak. When I went downstairs, I didn't look very well. Grandma Shine asked with concern, "Why not sleep a bit more?" I replied drowsily, "I need to go see the teacher." Grandma knew Joi was strict with students. She just said, "I'm not at ease with you like this. Let the driver take you instead of driving yourself."
When we arrived at Joji<unk>'s villa, the three of us teacher and students went straight into the study and got to work. It wasn't until lunchtime that we finally had a moment to breathe. At that moment, my phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Joe Jim, asking if I wanted to go skiing together in the afternoon. I replied with a voice message. "I'm busy today. I won't go. You go ahead."
In the afternoon, when I came out of Joe Xiwi's study to get water, Joe Jimn sent me another message. This time, it was several photos. The people in the photos were Shangqingi, Zing Chuen, Jiang Naanian, Bai Xiian, and Meow Meow. Five people. Then Joe, Jimn sent another message. "I was originally with a few friends, happily skiing. I didn't expect to run into them. Such a mood killer." I calmly sent back a voice message. "Enjoy yourselves. Don't mind them." Joe Jimmy quickly replied with a voice message. "We<unk>ll probably leave in the evening. Do you want to come?" I refused. "I can't make it. I have things to handle here." I put away my phone, picked up my cup, and went back into the study. This work kept me busy for the entire day.
By evening, Suing stretched and said to Joeri, "Teacher, let's go out for dinner later. Our treat." Joi didn't even bother to look at her and said, "I have plans later. I've arranged to have dinner with Shangqingi tonight." Suan glanced at me while I just drank water calmly. Joe picked up her car keys and left. "When you leave, remember to lock the door." Just as she finished speaking, she added, "But I shouldn't be gone long."
Meanwhile, on the other side, Jang Naanian and Shangqingi along with Zeing Chuan and the others had been skiing for half a day and were in a great mood. After leaving the ski resort, Jang Naanian happily said to Shangqingi, "Mom, I want to eat seafood later." Shang King gently patted Yiang Naanian<unk>s head. "Mom and your uncle have something to do later. We can't eat with you. The driver is already waiting for you in the perking lot. When you get home, just tell the chef whatever you want to eat." After hearing this, Jiang Nanian immediately pouted. "What is it? Why can't you take me with you?" Shank King gently pinched her cheek and smiled. "It's something very important." Jiang Naanian pouted and looked at Z Minguan, hugging him and acting spoiled. Uncle Z Minguan bent down, held Xiang Nyanian and smiled. "It's something important for uncle. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Uncle said, Nyanian, can you understand uncle?" Hearing Z Mingchuan say this. Although Jiang Nyanian was still a bit unhappy, she still nodded obediently. "I understand. But Uncle Z, you have to make it up to me next week. Take me to eat something delicious." Zi Mingchu and patted her head. "Of course." As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Shangqingi by Xiian standing aside. Watch without saying anything. Mao came over and held Xiang Naanian<unk>s hand and said, "There will be a chance next week. Let's have a meal together then." After interacting a few times, Jiang Naanian and Meow had already become good friends. After watching Xiang Naanian and Bai Xian leave, Shinqingi and Ziminguan also got into the car and headed to the restaurant.
They arrived at the private room. A few minutes later, Joe also arrived. Seeing Joe pushed the door open and enter Shenkingi and Zingshuan stood up to greet Ms. Joe. Upon seeing Zing Shuen, there was not the slightest surprise on Joe Xiwi<unk>s face. Zinguan politely introduced himself again. "Hello, Miss Joe. My name is Zingshuen. We met before at the tech exhibition." Joe showed little expression and shook her hand. "I know." After Joeri sat down, Zingchuan then sat beside her. "I admire you very much. I've always hoped to have the chance to meet you face to face and discuss professional knowledge in this field."
At that moment, Shen King's phone rang. She stood up and said to Jojo and Zing Shuan, "I'll step out to take a call. You to chat." After Shangqingi left, Zeing Shuan picked up the menu and handed it to Joer. "Miss Joe, let's order first. We can talk while eating later." Joer pushed the menu aside and said, "No need for now." Before Zingshuang could react, Joe spoke directly. "You want to be my student?" He admitted calmly and confidently. "Yes, I am very interested in the AIG field. I hope to study under you and strive to make greater progress." After speaking, he took out his laptop. "Let me show you the product I made for my PhD graduation." Joe scrolled through his graduation project. After reviewing several sets of data, she said, "As a graduation project, it is indeed much better than that of most PhD students." Hearing Joi say this, the smile in Zing Chuan<unk>s eyes deepened. He was about to speak when Jojoui released the mouse and shifted her gaze away from the screen. "Was this completed this year?" she asked. Zingchuan replied, "Yes." Joer asked again. "Nothing else." Z Mingchu impaused and said, "Regarding the last tech exhibition, I conducted some technical analysis on the exhibits displayed there. Would you like to hear it?" Zhaojoui nodded. "Go ahead." Zingshuan began his technical explanation. He spoke for more than 10 minutes straight. During that time, Shangqingi came back once, saying she still had an important call to make. Just as Zingshuan was about to continue. Joeri suddenly looked up and said, "That's enough." Zingchuan stopped, Joeri stood up and gave her final evaluation. "Your foundational knowledge is fairly solid, but it still doesn't meet my standard for a student." Zeinguan was stunned, then clenched his fist. This was not the answer he wanted. Joe pushed the door open and was about to leave. Zingshuan quickly stepped forward and said, "Miss Joe." "Then how do you think I should improve?" Joe paused and said coldly, "Do more research and pay more attention to new developments in the field." As she finished speaking, Shangqingi returned. Before Shangqingi could speak, Zhaoui said, "I've done what I should do. I'll contact you again in a few days." After saying that, Josuay left directly. Shang King looked at Zeing Shuen. Seeing that his expression wasn't very good, she asked. "The result wasn't great." Zeingua nodded calmly. "Not really." He told her the whole process and the suggestions. Shinqingly said, "Your ability is indeed quite good. I also think her advice is quite valuable." Zeing Chu paused, realizing it was his attitude toward the profession that made Jojoui refuse him rather than a lack of ability. Zing Shuan<unk>s mood improved considerably. Shingqingly comforted him. "You can try again another time."
Joi returned to the villa. At the villa, Suing and I had just finished buying and washing the ingredients and were preparing to cook hot pot. Seeing her return, Suing said in surprise, "You're back so soon." Joi took off her coat, her tone still indifferent. Su Waning glanced at me as I came out of the kitchen with bowls and chopsticks and asked curiously, "So, we didn't gain a new junior fellow, right?" Joe ignored her, took the bowl I handed her, and sat down. Silence meant the answer was no. Suing smiled, raising her brows at me. Suaning brought out the meat and asked again, "Teacher, then what level do you think he is at in this field?" Joi spoke slowly, "Slightly above the level of an excellent PhD graduate." After a whole day of exhaustion, I went home, took a shower, and fell asleep early.
The next day, there was something at Sundu that required us to handle. After arriving at Sundu, Suing and I had just coordinated some technical issues. When Wro Tong and Yaan walked in, they both looked surprised upon seeing me. A staff member from Zundu explained, "Mr. Jiang is not an employee of Zundu. He is a technician from Chongmo. He came today. He's here to help handle system technical issues." Sensing that someone seemed to be looking at me, I turned my head and saw when Ru Tong and Yaan. I only glanced once, then calmly withdrew my gaze. Yahweh and smiled. "He's ignoring us, isn't he?" When Ruo Tyang was about to speak when Zeing Shuan walked in from outside. Seeing us, Zeinguan also looked slightly surprised and stopped upon seeing Zing Shuen. When Ruong greeted warmly, "Mr. Z," Zingshuan nodded and greeted calmly, "Men, Miss Yao." When Ruo Tang stepped forward, "Mr. Z works at Sundu." Zeing Chuan waved his hand. "No, I specialize in algorithms. Recently, I wanted to improve myself, so I came here to learn from everyone." When Roong smiled. "Mr. Z, you're truly diligent and eager to learn." Zingshuan said modestly, "You flatter me, Miss Wen. It's precisely because I've realized my shortcomings that I need to study harder." Seeing when Roong and the others arrive, it's undue. The project team, another person in charge, Mr. Jang, came over. When Rotang and the others greeted Suaning, then went with Mr. Jang to discuss business elsewhere. Zeinguan stayed on Suaning<unk>s side. He naturally noticed me as well, but after just one glance, he withdrew his gaze indifferently and focused his attention back on Suan. "Miss Sue, did you just arrive?" Suanin, while lowering her head and taking notes, replied casually. "I've been here for about half an hour." "Mr. Z, it seems like you've been here quite a while." Zingshuin replied, "I arrived at Sunundu this morning. I've been busy most of the day and got a bit tired, so I went upstairs to get some water and rest for a bit." This going upstairs to drink water and rest naturally referred to going to Shen Kingley's office. Hearing this, Su Wing paused, her tone turning slightly colder. "Really? So, President Shen is also at Zundu." Zingshuan shook his head. "No, he was under review. That is to say, even if Shangqingi didn't come, he could still freely enter and leave. Shank King<unk>s office on his own. Shang King clearly had no secrets from him." Suan didn't say anything more. Instead, she took her notebook and stepped forward to me, pointing at the content on it. I glanced at it and nodded, then turned around and continued my work. Seeing this, Zingchuan asked, "Did something go wrong? Can I take a look?" Suanin said coldly. "Mr. Z, I'm working. It's not convenient." Zi Minguan was about to speak. When I walked towards Suanin and told her a set of data the moment Zingshuan saw me walk over, his gaze turned cold. I hadn't intended to look at him, but seeing him staring at me coldly. After finishing speaking with Suaning, I returned him a cold glance, then went back with Suanin to handle the data. Z Minguan still had another set of data to process, he returned to the meeting room.
When Ru Tong and the others were refining contract details, seeing Zingshuin come back, when Ru Tong asked, "Do you know that man?" Hearing her asked about me, Zinguan<unk>s fingers tightened slightly on the keyboard, he said expressionlessly, "Not really. Why?" When Ruan glanced towards Su Wanchin and me and said, "From the way he talks with Suanin, he seems quite capable." Zingchuan replied calmly, "Not sure, but I heard he only has a bachelor's degree." Hearing this, when Ruan<unk>s expression changed slightly, her attitude toward me shifted from neutral to dismissive. Suan had a moment of free time and glanced into the meeting room through the glass. After looking for a moment, she leaned close to my ear and said, "That girl." When Ruong likes Ming Shuan, my mind was still processing data when I heard her say that. After pausing for a second, I reacted. I said calmly, "Probably." After that, I pulled Su wanting to continue working, telling her not to gossip. After all, the sooner we finished, the sooner we could get off work. At this moment, Zingchuan ran into a problem and paused. He wanted to ask Suanin for advice. But when he looked over, he found that whether it was Sue watching or the technical staff at Undo, they were all listening to me attentively. Anyone who didn't know better would think my technical skills were amazing. Thinking of this, he withdrew his gaze.
Suan and I kept working until after 5:00 p.m. before things were mostly settled. The contract between Jongqing and Zundu was also finalized. Mr. Mr. Jyn invited Su Waning and me into the meeting room to meet when Ruo Tong and the others as things were nearly done. Mr. Jyn then said, "It's getting late. How about we have a meal together?" When Ruo<unk>s heart stirred as she looked at Zeing Shuan, Zeinguan seemed not to notice his gaze and said, "Sorry, Kingi will come pick me up from Shang Group later. We have other plans. I won't be joining." Enjoy your meal." Hearing that Z Minguan wouldn't go when Ru Tong instantly lost interest in the dinner. "I also have something to do. Let's<unk> do it another time," she said. Hearing when Ruong say this, Zeinguan wasn't surprised and showed no expression. The more Suin watched, the more she felt that when Ruo Tyang was interested in Zeing Shuan. And she could also tell that when Ru Tong didn't want to go because Zingshuan wasn't going. Since both when Ru Tong and Z Mingchuan declined. Mr. Jyn also felt a bit awkward and asked, "Miss Su, what about you?" Su Waning held her teacup, clinkedked it lightly with mine and smiled. "I don't have time, right, Jang Chan?" Zinguan noticed that Su Waning treated me really well. He frowned. Although when Roong and the others said they had no time to eat, the matter was already mostly settled. So they went downstairs with Suing and me to prepare to leave. At that moment, Ziming Shuan received a call. After hanging up, he said, "Kingli will be here soon. I'll go with you." When the group reached downstairs, Shangqingi was already waiting there. Seeing us, she got out of the car and greeted Wro and Suing. She also glanced at me but didn't say anything. And when she got out of the car, Zeinguan stood beside her, the two of them really did look like a couple. When Ruo Tyang was chatting with Shangqingi, Suing curled her lips slightly and said coldly, "President Shen, we have dinner plans, so we<unk>ll be leaving first." Shangqingi replied calmly, "Take care, Miss Su." Su Waning and I left first.
After having dinner with Chairman Jinn and the others, I drove home. As soon as I arrived, Bai Xiang called. "I picked up President B." Bai Xian said, "The contract has been signed. You can call your uncle to confirm. After confirming, call me back." Before I could reply, she had already hung up. I didn't expect by Xian to act so quickly, but I still didn't fully trust her. After thinking for a moment, I called Xang Shong Shang. "Uncle, has the company started a project with the B family?" Jang Xang replied happily, "Yes, the company has made progress. But how did you know about this?" I brushed it off casually. "I heard it from someone." After saying a few more words of concern, I hung up. Then I called by Xi. She picked up almost instantly. I said, "I'm free this weekend." Baiji smiled. "All right, do you want to arrange the time or should I? You arrange it."
The next morning, just as I was about to go out, Baiji called again. She invited me to go skiing on Saturday with Meow Meow. I agreed. After hanging up, I went to the company.
On Saturday morning, after breakfast, I drove to the ski resort. When I arrived, Bai Xiian and Ma were already waiting. As soon as she saw me, Meowa let go of Baiji<unk>s hand and happily ran toward me. When she jumped into my arms, I gently hugged her, looking at her smiling face. I touched her cheek. "Meow Meow seems to have grown taller and prettier." "Give yourself a compliment." Meow meow nodded happily. "I've been eating well." I smiled at her words. Suddenly, Meow Meow took something out from her pocket. "Uncle, this is for you." It was a crystal keychain, a miniature pink cat bag with a small white kitten inside. It looked very similar to the one Xiang Nyanian had on her backpack zipper, just a different color. By Xiian seemed to often take Meow Meow to play with Jiang Nyanian, so it wasn't strange they had similar keychains. I crouched down and didn't ask further. "It's very beautiful. Uncle likes it a lot. Thank you." Meow. Meow. Hearing that I liked it, Meow Meow became even happier. She pulled me inside. "Uncle, let's go skiing."
After putting on our gear and goggles, we started skiing. Meow meow wasn't very good yet, so I guided her slowly. But there were too many people that day. After just over an hour, we were hit by two girls. Meow. me out was fine, but Baiji crashed into me. I instinctively wrapped my arm around her waist, pulling her firmly into my arms, suddenly pressed against my chest. Baiji froze for a moment. She immediately felt uncomfortable. She tried to push me away, but found her foot hurt. I didn't let go, but asked with concern, "Did you twist your ankle? Did you sprain it?" By Xiian replied softly, "I think so." She called the staff over to look after Meow Meow. While I bent down and carried her into the building, I sat Baiji down and the doctor waiting nearby check. It turned out to be just a mild sprain. Apply some treatment and she'd be fine soon. At that moment, someone in the distance looked at us. "What are you looking at?" Sunjian said uncertainly. "I think I saw someone familiar." When he stepped forward to take a closer look, the person had already put on a hat and goggles again and left.
At noon, we left the ski resort and went to a nearby restaurant. Bai Xian handed me the menu. At that moment, Meow Meow suddenly remembered something. "Uncle, what's your name?" I replied while looking at the menu, "My name is Jang Chun." Meow meow nodded, "Uncle Jang." Maybe she was tired from skiing. Before finishing her meal, Meow Meow started dozing off. By Xian held Meow Meow in her arms. I had also finished eating. I put down my chopsticks and said, "Let's call it a day." But Baiji didn't stand up immediately. Instead, she looked at me and asked, "Can we meet again next time?" I nodded slightly. "Sure, since Meow Meow was asleep." I turned and left, watching me drive away. Bai Xian stood there for a while before getting into her car.
When they got home, Meow Meow woke up. "Uncle Jiang left again," holding her. by Xiian suddenly said, "Meow meow. From now on, just call him uncle. Don't call him uncle Jang, okay?" "And keep uncle<unk>'s name a secret for Annie. Don't tell anyone else. All right." Meow. Meow nodded obediently.
Not long after I left the ski resort, I received a call from Joe Jimming. He asked me to join him for dinner. After getting the address, I headed over. More than 10 minutes later, Joe Jimming called again, cursing. "Do you know who I ran into here?" I paused. Recently, the only people who could make Joe Jimn speak like that seemed to be Shangqingi and Zingchuan. Joe Jimn continued. "He brought the Z family here to look at houses." I looked ahead and responded calmly. "Mm." I had arrived. "You lean on Yu." I parked the car and told Joe I was there, then sent him my location. Just as I was about to get out, I saw Madame Zihi and son Yukin. The three of them walking toward the parking lot. All of them were smiling, clearly in a very good mood. I got out of the car, but they entered the parking lot from the other side and didn't see me.
A few minutes later, when I arrived at the sales office entrance, I happened to run into Shen King and Zing Chuen, they were surrounded by seven or eight senior staff. as they walked out. When she saw me, Shangqingi glanced sideways at me. Zingshuan had his arm around Shangqing's shoulder and also gave me a cold look. I calmly withdrew my gaze. After entering the sales office, I went straight to Joe Jimnine. When he saw me, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "The houses here start at 300 million. I just heard from the staff that the villa Shenkingi bought for the Z family is over 600 million." Joe Jimn looked at my expression and added, "And I also heard that the reason they came here was because Zinguan's mother like the style here." My eyes flickered slightly. "No wonder." When I saw Sunyuking just now, I said calmly. "I'm going to the restroom." At that moment, voices suddenly came from outside staff from the sales office. "President Shen has such good taste. Her boyfriend is so handsome. President Shen treats her boyfriend very well. They're not even married yet. A villa worth over 600 million and she just bought it for her boyfriend's family."
When I came out of the restroom, it had already been 10 minutes after I had dinner with Joe Jim. I suddenly wanted to go to the sanatorium. But thinking about Jiang Yan's condition and what the director said about not seeing acquaintances even though I had already driven to the entrance. I still didn't go in. After returning home, I locked myself in my room and continued working. I don't know how long passed. When my phone rang again, it was a call from Shang King. I glanced at it, wrote down the data beside me, and ignored it. The call ended on its own. A few minutes later, it rang again. I still didn't answer. Shank Kingi sent a message. "Grandma wants us to go back to the old house for dinner." I still didn't reply. Seeing that I didn't respond. Shank King held her phone in silence for a while. I ordered takeout. Just after I finished eating around 7:00, Madame Shen called. I could ignore Shang King's calls, but Madame Shen had been kind to my family, so I had to answer hers. "Hello, Grandma." Madame Shen spoke slowly, "Jiang Chan. I heard from Kingi that you've been busy. When will you be done?" Since Shen King had already covered from me, I said directly, "I'll be busy these couple of days. Sorry, Grandma. I'm afraid I won't have time to visit you these days." Madame Shen said gently, "That's all right. Grandma is fine. I'm just worried you might be overworking yourself." "Grandma, I know my limits." Madame Shen said, "That's good. Tomorrow when Kingi goes back, I'll have her bring you something tasty. Make sure you eat more. All right." After hanging up, Madame Shen looked at her granddaughter sitting on the sofa and said with a pout, "Next time. If Jang Chan still doesn't come back with you, then don't come back either." Shank King raised her eyebrows. "Then I'll leave." After hanging up, I went back into work mode.
At around 9:00 p.m., Suan called. "Want to go out?" Half an hour later, I arrived at the bar. Suan came out to the entrance to pick me up. "Want a drink?" I paused and said, "Sure." Suan leaned closer and looked at me. "Bad mood." I lowered my gaze. "Better now." Suaning didn't ask further and ordered me a blue low alcohol cocktail. I held it sipping. While listening to Suing chatting with her friends at the upstairs bar, Yaan was looking at us and said calmly, "So it's him with Suing." The woman beside her followed her gaze and paused when she saw me. "Ya" and smiled, "Your type?" Her friend didn't answer and only asked, "You know him?" Yahweh and explained. "This is the guy I told you about the other day. the one when Ruo Tong liked at first but lost interest in right after." Led by Su Waning, we entered the dance floor. After swaying to the music for over a minute, I gradually got used to it, relaxing and gently moving my body. At that moment, I felt my phone vibrate. I didn't stop, but took out my phone and glanced at it. As soon as I saw the caller ID, I immediately stopped. Seeing my expression change, Suaning leaned over to take a look and her scalp instantly went numb. "It's actually the teacher." Suaning and I quickly left the dance floor. As we were leaving, I casually looked up and saw Yawean and the woman beside her. Yaan and I immediately averted our gazes, but Suing had gone out as well. She was at the bar entrance answering a call. As soon as I spoke, my tone turned timid. "teacher." Joe quickly said, "Come pick me up at noon tomorrow." I was stunned, but the call had already been hung up.
The next day at noon, I drove to Joe Xiwi's villa to pick her up. After she got in the car, I asked, "Teacher, where are we going?" Joi gave an address. Half an hour later, we arrived at the restaurant. Joe and I were led into a private room. When we pushed the door open, there were already the people inside. They were two imposing middle-aged men. Seeing us enter, they both stood up. "You're here, Joe." Still wearing a calm expression, she introduced us. "When Shiu Chun Wang, my student, Jiang Chun." I had seen them in the news. One held significant power in the military. The other was a major figure in politics. But when they saw me, their attitude was gentle. They shook my hand and said, "We've heard a lot about you." Although I was a bit busy, I still calmly shook hands with them and politely said, "That's what I should be saying to you both." When Shihu and Chun Wine smiled and gestured for me to sit. After I sat down, when Shichu said, "We've known about you for years. We've always hoped Cademish and Joe would introduce you to us, but everyone has been busy, so we never had the chance. In the past few days, our team has been studying the system you developed recently, and it just so happened we all had time these days. So, we thought we'd have a meal together and meet you." After the pleasantries, I began chatting with them about systems, about chips, about energy while Jojo sat beside us, quietly, eating and drinking tea, rarely joining the conversation. After more than an hour, when Shihu poured me a cup of tea, I quickly took the teacup. And when Shu sat down the teapot, his gaze was deep, full of experience. But when he looked at me, it was gentle. "If I remember correctly, Jang Shang is in his 20s this year, right?" I nodded. "I'm 25." As soon as when Shihu asked that, Chun Wang already understood what he meant. He cut in and asked, "Have a girlfriend?" I paused, then said, "I'm married." When Shihu and Chun Wang were clearly surprised, but they were no ordinary people. When I mentioned being married, a trace of emotion flashed in my eyes. Clearly, there were some issues in my marriage, which meant it might end in divorce. Their daughters might still have a chance. Joe listened and finally raised her head, casting them a cold glance.
After the meal, as soon as I got home, Suing called me. After learning why Joeri had met me, she said calmly, "When Shihu and Chunwine, huh? I already know them. That when Ruo Tong is when Shihu's daughter. With such an impressive father, I really don't know why his daughter went blind at such a young age." I truly didn't expect that when Ruo Tyang was when Shichu's daughter, but it had nothing to do with me.
On Tuesday, Zundu's autonomous vehicle registration, Suaning and I went there early in the morning. When we arrived, when Roong and Ya were already there. Seeing that my ex-wife had already prepared everything yet the staff still hadn't started testing, Suanin asked, "Why hasn't it started yet?" President Kuan explained, "President Shen will personally come to observe the test. We<unk>ll officially begin once she arrives." Suan suddenly thought of something and asked, "Right, why haven't we seen Mr. Z today?" President Quan replied, "Didn't Mr. Z say he wanted to improve himself?" President Shen said the fastest and best way to improve is to lead a team and work on projects herself. So last week, President Shen already handed over the previous companies. An earlier project was reassigned and reorganized. These past couple of days, Mr. Zeno, he should be called Director Z. Now, Director Z has formed a team and is currently upstairs in a meeting." Suaning tilted her head and glanced at me. While I simply lowered my head and took notes, showing no reaction to what Director Quan had said. She sighed and patted my head. I brushed her hand away. "Don't mess around." Suing smiled and said, "Not bad. From the sound of it, you've already stopped caring. That puts me at ease."
At that moment, Shangqingi arrived. Along with her were Bai Xi and Ji Kingu. by Xiian and Jiq King. You clearly didn't expect that I would be there. Both showed surprise upon seeing me. I, however, showed no expression, just glanced at them before looking away. Shankingly politely came over to greet us. Director Quan asked, "President Shen, can we begin now?" Shinkingly raised her wrist to check the time. "Wait for one more person. I'll go upstairs to take a look. Please wait." With that, she left. I knew the person she was waiting for was Z Minguan. Suan had clearly realized it too and almost cursed under her breath. Soon Shangqingi and Z Minguan came downstairs. Accompanying them was Sanji. Director Sun wasn't surprised to see me because Zingshuan had already told him in advance. Seeing that I was clearly Shangq King's husband, yet only treated like a subordinate, waiting for him to come downstairs before work could continue. The way he looked at me carried a trace of mockery and smuggness. I indifferently looked away. Zingshuan, however, politely said, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting," but when he apologized, he only looked toward when Roong and Suing. Clearly, I was not included in his apology. When Roong smiled and said, "It was only a few minutes. It's<unk> fine." Su Waning stood up and said, "Cooly, President is truly generous. Since you're here, then stop wasting our time. Let's get started." Shen King remained polite. "It was our fault. President Su." Su Wing snorted coldly and pulled me along as she left the meeting room first. The group followed with Shenkingi and Z Minguan at the center. As they arrived at the test track, the staff respectfully reported, "President Shen, Mr. Z, everything is ready." From their attitude, they clearly treated Zingshuan as the boss. After the test driver successfully completed one round, the staff asked Shangqingi and Zeing Shuan if they wanted to try it. Shangqingi agreed. She and Zingshuan got into the same car. By the time they finished, half an hour had passed. Shank King said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work today. Everyone, let's<unk> have a meal together later." When Mro Tong readily agreed, Suing curled her lips and said indifferently, "Sorry, we don't have time. You all enjoy yourselves. We have something to do, so we'll leave first." Seeing this, Shangqingi said to director, "Please see President Su and Mr. Jiang off." Hearing this, Su Waning pulled me along and left first. Yaan lowered her voice and said to Wen Ruong, "I feel like Suan really doesn't like President Shen. They had already noticed it. the last time they met here." When we got into the car after leaving, Suanin was still fuming. She seemed to think of something and asked me, "Who is that guy standing behind Zeing Shuan?" The way he looked at you wasn't friendly. Do you know him?" I replied, "He's Zing Xuan<unk>s cousin." Suan said angrily. "It's one thing for Shangqingi to bring Zinguan into Zandu, but now she's even bringing his family into Zundu as well. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Zundu ends up with the Z name someday." Su Wanchin felt she shouldn't say more. If she kept talking, she would only get angrier.
When I got home, I was just about to go into the bathroom for a shower. When my phone rang, it was a call from Shang King. I didn't answer and went straight into the bathroom with my clothes. When I came out, I saw that Shang King had sent a message. "Nian has a parent teacher meeting tomorrow." After seeing it, I replied, "I'm not available tomorrow." At that time, Shangqingi was busy and Giang Nyanian was playing with Shangqingi<unk>s phone. When she saw my reply, she happily said, "Mom, dad said he's not available tomorrow. Does that mean I can ask Uncle Z to go to school and attend the meeting for me?" Shank King responded, "Mm, Mom will go tomorrow, too." Jiang Nyanian jumped up from the sofa, dancing happily with excitement.
The next day while I was working, Jang Nyanians home room teacher suddenly sent a message. "Naanians father, 'Aren't you coming to the meeting today?'" I replied, "I have something to do, so I won't be going." After a while, she sent me a photo. In the photo, Shangqingi and Zinguan were sitting together. The teacher seemed worried on my behalf. I replied expressionlessly, "I understand. It's<unk> fine. Thank you, Miss Yang." I put down my phone and continued working.
Before I knew it, it was Friday again. Bai Xian called and said, "Meow wanted to go camping and sleep in a tent. The heaters and everything were already prepared. We just needed to go." I agreed. At around p.m. on Saturday, I drove to the campsite. When I arrived, Bhiian and Meow Meow had just gotten there, too. It had snowed for several days recently. The mountains were covered in snow. When I arrived, Mao came over and pulled me to build a snowman together. She had even prepared a scarf for the snowman. Bai Xian walked over to me and crouched down beside me. "You went to work at Changmu?" she asked. I was still shaping the snowman without looking up and simply replied, "Mm," she asked curiously. "When did you go?" I answered calmly. "It's been a while." Bai Xian wanted to know more details, but it was obvious I didn't want to say more, so she dropped the topic and slowly said, "Five times in total." I paused, then understood. She meant I should accompany Meow Meow five times. After finishing the big snowman, Meow Meow even asked by Xiian to take photos. By Xiian held her phone and looked at my smile in the camera, taking several shots in a row. The sky had completely darkened and the temperature in the mountains kept dropping. Seeing Meow Meow and me sitting close together, eating and chatting, Bai Xian turned and went into the tent and brought out to thick coats, one large and one small, to put over us. After finishing the barbecue, the bonfire party was about to begin. So, we went over. As soon as we arrived, some passers be couldn't help but say, "This family of three really looks stunning." I paused and explained, "We're not a family of three." They laughed cheerfully, thinking that even if we weren't now, we might become one in the future. After a while, Meow Meow went off to play with kids her age. Bai Xian spoke first. "Have you adapted to Changangmu?" I was idly playing with dry grass. And upon hearing that, I replied calmly, "I've adapted." During that time, she took a few calls. By the time she returned, it was already late. At night, Meow Meow insisted on sleeping with me. Bai Xian looked at me and asked for my opinion. I agreed. Meow Meow happily nestled into my arms. Although we slept together, it was only in the same tent. We still slept separately in our own sleeping bags. Meow's health was indeed a bit weak. The wind was too strong last night. She probably caught a chill. When she woke up the next day, she had a cold. I hadn't slept well last night either, so I wasn't in great condition. By Xian decided to take Meow Meow to the hospital. I wanted to drive back myself. Meow Meow acted spoiled and wanted me to go to the hospital with her. Seeing her weak and sickly state, I agreed and got into Baiji<unk>s car with her. The car arrived at the hospital entrance. Bai Xian carried Meow Meow up and said to me, "I'll have someone send you back." I shook my head, "No need. I can drive back myself." Bai Xiian didn't insist.
Just as I was about to get home, my phone buzzed. It was a message from Shangqingi. "Grandma is going to visit your grandmother later and wants the three of us to go back to the Jiang family together." This message couldn't be ignored. I picked up my phone and called Shangqingi. She answered quickly. "I'll go pick up Nania now and head over." Shangqingi was silent for seconds before saying, "I hung up the phone and turned the car around toward Shangqing<unk>s villa. When I arrived, Jang Naanian was already carrying her backpack, ready to go. "Ready?" Shang King looked up at me, then suddenly crouched down, "Did you not sleep well last night?" I didn't expect her to ask that. And replied coldly, "Mm, I didn't intend to elaborate." The housekeeper, concerned, chimed in, "Was it insomnia? We have high quality incense here that helps with sleep. I can put some in your room later." Only then did I explain, "My sleep is usually fine. I just went camping yesterday and I wasn't used to sleeping outside." The housekeeper frowned. "What's so fun about camping in winter? Don't catch a cold." I smiled and said, "Winter camping lets you have snowball fights by the bonfire, build snowmen, and play hideand seek. It's actually more fun." Hearing this, Shangqingi put down the newspaper and looked at me thoughtfully. Jiang Nanian listened eagerly, her curiosity growing even stronger. "Camping sounds so fun. Dad didn't even take me." She dragged her backpack and jumped off the sofa. After a huff, she ran straight upstairs. I frowned as I watched. Before I could speak, Shank Kingley put down the newspaper and said, "Nanian, come back." Her tone didn't sound angry at all. Yet, Jiang Naenian immediately stopped. She pursed her lips and turned around, standing still. Shangqingi glanced at her. Jang Naanian lowered her head and walked back reluctantly with her backpack. She grabbed Shangqingi<unk>s hand and said sweetly, "Mom, can you come too?" Shangqingi didn't look at me and gently tapped Xiang Naanian<unk>s nose. "Mom has things to do. Be good and listen to your dad." Jang Naanian said unwillingly, "Got it." Then glanced at me. When she walked over, she reached out her hand to me. This was her way of making up with me. I held her hand and after greeting the housekeeper, we left.
When we arrived at the Giang residence, old Madame Shen had already been there for a while. Seeing that only we had come and not Shang King. Old Madame Shen's face immediately darkened. "Where is Kingi?" "Still busy," I asked softly. Old Madame Shen. She angrily picked up her phone to call Shangqingi. Grandma knew that Shang King and I were about to divorce and felt there was no need for Shang King to come. She stopped old Madame Shen and said, "She's busy with work. I understand. Don't force her." After entering, Jang Naani and went upstairs to play with Jiang Yuni. While I stayed to chat with the two elderly ladies. Suddenly, I sneezed and a chill ran down my spine. Both elderly ladies immediately showed concern. "Are you okay? Did you catch a cold?" I grabbed a tissue and wiped my nose and said, "Maybe. I probably caught a chill last night. It's just that my symptoms aren't as obvious as Meows." Old Madame Jang and Old Madame Shen had been friends for many years. Regarding what happened at the birthday banquet and the matter between Shangqingi and Zeing Chuan. I didn't mention a single word to old Madame Shen. The two of them just chatted happily. After sitting for a while, Joe Jimming called me saying he had run into Shangqingi and the Z family again and that Shang King was dining with them. Then he asked where I was. I said, "I'm at my grandmother's place with Nyanian and Grandma Mashen." Joe Jimn immediately understood. "So Shangqingi isn't accompanying you back to the Giang family, but instead went to accompany Zeing Shuan<unk>s family." I didn't respond. After hanging up, I sneezed again. My aunt and Mingshi worried I had caught a cold and made me a bowl of ginger soup. After drinking it, my head felt even heavier. And before long, I fell asleep.
When I woke up, I realized I had a fever and a high one. Jiang Naanian came close to me, looking a bit worried. "Dad, you're sick." Old Madame Shen was also very concerned and wanted to take me back to the Shen residence to have their regular traditional doctor check on me, saying the old doctor worked quickly. Grandma also felt my illness had come to suddenly and shouldn't be delayed, so she asked me to go with old Madame Shen back to the old residence. After the doctor arrived, he prescribed some medicine. I drank a bowl and went upstairs to sleep again.
When I woke up again, the heaviness in my body and head eased considerably. I opened my eyes and saw the bedside lamp was on. Turning my head, I saw Shang King sitting there reading. I paused before realizing this was her room in the old residence. The place where she had grown up, perhaps hearing the movement. Shank Kingley turned and looked over. "You're awake." I picked up the coat beside me and put it on. I got out of bed like that. Shanking brought me a glass of water and handed it to me. I paused for two seconds before taking it. Without saying thank you, Shankingi didn't say anything either and reached out to touch my forehead. My head felt heavy, but my reaction wasn't slow. I dodged it, making her pause. She withdrew her hand, stood up, and said, "Mr. Jang is still downstairs. I'll have him come up and take a look at you." Without waiting for my response, she went downstairs. A few minutes later, Mr. Jang, the old madam, Shangqingi, and Jiang Nyanian all entered the room. Mr. Jang examined me and said I had improved a lot, but still needed to take the medicine. He said I had emotional stress, so I asly got sick when catching a chill and needed to nourish my body. I nodded as I listened. Old Madame Shen told Shang King to go downstairs and bring up the food prepared for me. Shenkingi turned and went downstairs and soon came back with the food. Old Madame Shen and Mr. Jang left, but Shang King did not. While I ate beside her, she sat nearby reading. I glanced at it and realized it was the same book. I had read earlier at the hot spring resort. I hadn't noticed before, but now I realized she hadn't returned it to me. I frowned. Shinqingly smiled and said, "I read it for half an hour that day and found some of your ideas quite interesting. It gave me some new inspiration, so I took it and flipped through it when I have time." I ignored her. Shin Kingly rested her chin on her hand and looked at me. "After all these years, you still don't even know how to argue." I turned my face away. She sighed and said, "All right, I won't tease you anymore." In the divorce agreement, I clearly stated that I want nothing, no division of property and no claim over Nanian's custody, I
thought she would soon notify me to go collect the divorce certificate. But ever since I left the divorce agreement and returned, it's been about 3 months now, yet there has been no movement on her side.
Thinking of this, I raised my head about to ask her when there was a knock on the door followed by Shen Shinron's voice. "Brother-in-law, I heard you're sick. Are you feeling better now?"
Before I could speak, Shangqingi said, "Come in." Hearing her voice, Shen Shinron walked in and first greeted Shangqingi. I hadn't interacted with her much. Then Shen Shinron's gaze fell on me. I knew she cared about me, but didn't know what to say, so I spoke first. "I'm much better now."
Shenshin Ron nodded. "That's good." I smiled. "Haven't been back here in a while."
Shenshin Ron smiled. "Yes, I missed the food here, so I came back for a visit. I just got back and heard from Grandma that you had a fever."
At this moment, old Madame Shen came upstairs. Seeing my complexion had improved, she felt a bit relieved. "Is the soup in the kitchen ready? Old Jang said you can drink it too. Come downstairs and have some. Or should I have Kingly bring it up to you?"
I didn't want to stay in the room, so I went downstairs with them. After sitting down, I took the soup handed to me by the housekeeper. Shankingly sat beside me, but her phone received a message, perhaps to avoid me seeing it. She shifted slightly away from me and began replying. I silently drank my soup. The old madam couldn't stand it. "Can it wait until after you finish your soup?"
Shinqingly explained, "It'll take a moment." I still caught a glimpse that she was chatting with Zeing Shuan. It seemed to be about project matters.
After finishing, I went to the living room and sat down and picked up a newspaper to read out of boredom. I shook my head. Shen Shinron sat down beside me, then looked at me. I noticed and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Shinron awkwardly said, "I have a few physics problems I don't understand. I wanted my sister to teach me, but she said she's busy and told me to ask you." I paused, but said nothing and took her test papers. Shen Shinron's grades were actually quite good and her foundation was solid. I took the two sheets and briefly organized the logic for her and she immediately understood.
After understanding, Shen Shin Ran didn't mind her posture and crouched by the coffee table to write. After finishing the problems, she put away her papers and pen and said, "Done. I can finally play on my phone."
I smiled and put down the newspaper I had nearly finished. Shenshin Ron leaned closer and whispered, "Brother, my idol participated in a car race recently. I have a recording. Do you want to watch it?"
The smile on my face faded slightly and I said, "No need. I'm not interested in racing." Shenshin Ron had thought I was interested. So she was a bit surprised. "That day you watched for quite a while with binoculars. I thought you were interested too."
I said I saw a few acquaintances there that day. Seeing that I truly wasn't interested, Shen Shin Ran didn't try to persuade me further and turned to continue watching Zeing Shuan's race replay.
I glanced at it, then looked away and said, "I'm going upstairs to get a book." Shen Shin Ron said energetically, "Okay, brother-in-law, even though you're feeling better, you still need to rest more." I nodded slightly. "I will."
After saying that, I went upstairs. When I returned to the room, Shang King wasn't there. I saw the book she had taken earlier. Lying on the table, I took it back and put it into my bag. Previously, when I occasionally stayed here overnight, I always bring one or books with me. I looked around the room, but couldn't find them. I thought they might be in Jiang Nanians room. So, I turned and went to her room.
Jiang Nyanian didn't close the door. Sure enough, before I even reached her room, I heard Jiang Naanians voice coming from inside. "Uncle Z, I'm so bored. Can you talk with me a little longer?" I stopped in my tracks. After two or three seconds, Jang Nyanians cheerful voice sounded again. "I'll go downstairs to drink the soup in a bit. I won't skip it. Don't worry, Uncle Z."
After finishing the call, Jiang Nanian didn't come out of the room right away. I was sick and my throat felt uncomfortable, so I coughed twice and walked into Jiang Nyanians room. Only then did Xiang Nyanian notice me. "Dad, why did you come out of your room?"
"I just came to get a book." Jang Naanian came over and took my hand. "Great grandma said the soup is ready. Dad, do you want to go downstairs and drink it with me?" I waved my hand and said, "Dad, already drank it. You haven't had yours yet. Go drink it yourself."
Jiang Naanian had just finished talking to Zing Chuan and was in a good mood. So, she didn't notice anything off about me. "Okay, then I'll go downstairs."
After Jiang Naanian left, I found my book but didn't return to my room. Instead, I took the book to the floor to ceiling window on the second floor. After sitting and reading for half an hour, old Madame Shen brought me the prepared herbal medicine. "Jang Shan, so you're here."
I put down the book and stood up. "Grandma, why did you bring it up yourself? You could have just had someone call me downstairs to drink it."
The old lady sat down on another sofa and said unhappily, "You're not in good health. You should move around less. I originally wanted Kingi to bring it to you, but she's in the study typing on the keyboard. It's already the weekend. Who knows what she's still so busy with?" Just now in the dining room, Shang King was teaching Zeing Shuen some things about the project. I think Shangqingi felt that typing on the computer was more convenient. So, she went into the study.
I thought to myself, silently picked up the bowl and drank the medicine in one go. Old Madame Shen frowned as she watched. "Such bitter medicine. Shang Sean, slow down."
I put down the bowl. "It's not that bitter." I took a sip of water to rinse my mouth. The old lady handed me a piece of candy. "I didn't have dinner. It should be ready soon."
"I've already eaten. I can't eat dinner anymore." Old Madame Shen went downstairs to eat.
More than half an hour later. Old Madame Shen and Jiang Naan came upstairs, but neither of them looked very happy. The old lady said coldly, "At this hour. Kingley still went to the company. Is she working herself to death?" I have been absorbed in reading just now and hadn't even noticed the sound of a car outside for Shangqingi to go out this late.
"It's probably something on Zing Chuan's side. Some issue with the project. She went to help him handle it." Jang Nanian lay on my lap pouting. "Mom didn't take me."
Of course, Shangqingi wouldn't take her. If Shangqingi took her along, everyone would know she was already married and that her little princess was already this grown. Where would that leave Zeing Shuan's dignity? I nudged Jang Naen. "Get up from my lap. Dad's still not well. Go sit somewhere else." Jang Naanian let out a small cry and sat to the side.
Since I hadn't fully recovered, I couldn't hold on past 10:00. I took a shower and fell asleep. The next morning, I learned that Shang King hadn't come back last night.
Dr. Jenangs medical skills are indeed quite good. I was almost fully recovered. The old lady had Dr. Jang check on me again and prescribed to more doses of tonic medicine. I planned to go back to work as usual, seeing that she couldn't persuade me otherwise. The old lady said she didn't know how to prepare the medicine Dr. Jong prescribed, so she asked me to come back here in the evening to drink it. She even handed me a spare key, as if she wouldn't let me leave if I refused. I had no choice but to agree.
Back at the company, Sue Wing pinched my cheek. "Why do you look so pale?" "I was sick, I replied weekly. I had a high fever yesterday." "What? You had a fever and still came to work today?" I didn't think much of it. "Isn't everything fine now?" Suing patted me. "We're going is undue later."
Coming while looking at the latest test data, I said. "Of course." When we arrived at Sundu, we didn't chat much with President Quan and went straight into work mode. More than an hour later, most of the work was done and the time pressure eased. President Quan handed each of us a cup of coffee. Suan took a sip. "This coffee is pretty good, even purer than what we had before. Your company's benefits are getting better and better."
President Kwan put on a gossiping look and said, "Speaking of that, isn't it all thanks to Mr. Z." Suan rolled her eyes. "I didn't expect this to have anything to do with Zingshuan." She put down her coffee cup and glanced at me. I raised my eyebrows. "I was thirsty, so I drank it anyway."
President Kuan's gossiping spirit was still running wild. "Didn't President Shen assign a project to Mr. Z to handle entirely? It's probably his first time handling such a big project, so he's worried he might not do well. That's why his whole team has been working overtime on weekends. They were still working past 10 last night." President Kuang continued praising him. "Honestly, Mr. Z is quite serious and responsible. He didn't mess around just because he's President Shen's boyfriend, nor did he treat the project carelessly."
Suan let out an irritated laugh, "Isn't it? Because his ability isn't enough, that he needs so many people working overtime with him." President Kuan understood what she meant. "People all need to grow, don't they?" She glanced at me and said indifferently that in Jang Chang, "This was our first time leading a major company project, yet everything was handled in an orderly manner." President Kuan also said after these few interactions, she realized my capability was actually even stronger than Suaning. So, she didn't quite agree with what Suaning said. President Kuang continued, "At least his attitude is quite good. With that kind of attitude, plus President Shen spending money to train him, his future achievements definitely won't be low." At this point, President Kuan couldn't help saying, "Honestly, Mr. Z really has a good life."
Before Suing, and I could react, President Kuan spoke mysteriously again. "By the way, Mr. Z and his team worked overtime all weekend. Yet the project still hadn't progressed much, right? Last night, President Shen felt sorry for Mr. Z, so she came back to the company around 7 and helped him sort out the project. The core project finally made progress. And here's the key part." President Quan lowered her voice and said, "I heard that last night. President Shen and Mr. Z stayed in the upstairs office, and supposedly they haven't even gotten up yet." By the end, President Kuan even raised her eyebrows suggestively at Suanchin. Suanin immediately understood what she meant. Just as she was about to say something. Zingshuan appeared. He snorted coldly. "Aren't I already up?"
Seeing Zingshuan, President Kuang cleared her throat. "All right, then." Zingshuan looked in pretty good spirits, though he still seemed somewhat tired. Zingshua nodded at Su Waing, greeted her briefly, then quickly withdrew his gaze and went to the meeting room.
After Su Waning and I rested for a while, we continued working. As it neared lunchtime, I and Suing were discussing where to eat. When Shangqingi walked in from outside, when Shangqingly saw me, she immediately withdrew her gaze and went inside to find Zing Shuan. As she entered, the others in the meeting room looked at her. Everyone stood up to greet her. While Zinguan remained seated in his place, looking up at Shangqingi with a smile. "You're here."
Shangqingly responded and asked, "how is it going?" Zingshuan smiled at her. "We've sorted out some parts. It's starting to take shape. It's also thanks to your help last night." Shanking smiled slightly. "Not bad." Then she said to the others, "You've all worked hard these past two days. Let's have lunch together." Hearing this, everyone from Zing Shuan's team was delighted, feeling that working under him really came with many benefits.
At this moment, Zingshuan suddenly said, "I'll go inform President Su and the others as well." Shang King clearly had no objection. "All right." Zi Mingshuan stood up and walked out of the meeting room heading towards Su Wanchin and me. President Kuan put on a big smile and immediately greeted him. "Director Zingshuan smiled and said, "President Shen is treating my team to lunch today. President Su, President Kuan, would you like to join?" He completely ignored me.
President Kuan naturally wanted to agree, so she looked at Suin and me. Su Wanchin immediately said, "We appreciate Mr. Z's kindness, but we already have our own plans." Zingchuan frowned and glanced at me, who was sitting nearby drinking water. When I saw him look over, I responded coldly. Zingchuan withdrew his gaze. Since Su Waning had refused, he simply smiled and said in the same polite tone, "All right, maybe next time." After that, he didn't look at me or President Kuan again and turned to leave.
President Kuan felt somewhat ignored. Although Zing Shuan did have the right to be proud, Shangqingi as the real boss was still quite polite and courteous to employees. A moment later, Shangqingi walked over and politely shook hands with Suaning, saying, "We'll head out first. Next time, President Su, please do join us." Suaning replied calmly, "Of course." Shenkingly smiled, glanced at me, then turned and left.
After lunch, Su Waning and I returned to the company around 6:00 p.m. Su Waning and I finish work and plan to leave, but Zinguan and his team still seem busy with no intention of getting off work. President Kuan said, "I heard they'll continue working overtime tonight." Su Waning didn't react. She turned to me and said, "Let me treat you to dinner." I shook my head, "No, I have other plans. The old madam has given instructions. I need to go back to the old residence and have dinner there."
When I got home, Shangqingi and Xiang Naanian had already returned. I didn't expect Shangqingi to be back. I thought she would stay at the company with Zeing Shuan. When Shangqingi saw me come back, she glanced at me, then continued typing on her computer, busy with her own work.
At dinner, Shangqingi sat beside me. Seeing her busy on her phone, I suddenly said, "Five time later. I have something to talk to you about." Shank Kingley didn't even look away from her phone. "Okay." I felt relieved when she agreed.
After dinner, the old madam had someone bring me my herbal medicine. Shankingly left the dining room to take a call. After I finished the medicine and stepped out, I heard the sound of a car. The old madam said angrily, "So rushed. Who knows what she's going to do?" I frowned and guessed. "She might have gone to help Zeing Shuan again, but she had promised to talk with me later." I hope she would come back tonight, but Shang King didn't return after breakfast at the old residence.
Suaning and I went directly to meet at the ferry entrance. When we arrived, Zingshuan and his team were already there. Suan sneered, "So early. Didn't they work overtime last night?" President Kuan said softly. "They did, but to catch up with the schedule. They came in early again this morning. They're really pushing themselves." After Suaning's remark, I focused on my own work as well.
More than an hour later, I was about to go to the restroom when Shangqingi appeared. This time, she didn't seem to be here for Zeing Shuan. After entering, she waved from a distance to Zing Shuan in the meeting room. then walked toward us. Suaning spoke. "President Shen, is there something you need?" Shen Kingi said, "Seriously, I took some time these past days to review your system, and it's indeed quite good, but I have a few ideas. I'd like to discuss with both of you."
Suan glanced at me. "President Shen, please go ahead." I paused, then said, "Sorry, I need to go to the restroom first. You two can start." Suanin and Shangqingi both nodded.
When I came back from the restroom, just a few steps away from Shangqingi and Su Waning. A sharp voice suddenly came from the meeting room. "Director Z," followed by a burst of commotion. I was about to turn my head when I saw Shang King's expression change drastically and she rushed toward the meeting room. As she passed me, she bumped into me with such force that I almost fell. Suanin hurried over and steadied me. "Are you okay?" I shook my head. "I'm fine."
As I spoke, I happened to see Shangqingi. Enter the meeting room. Several people were supporting Z Minguan. As they hurried out and disappeared shortly after seeing this, President Kuan asked in confusion, "Director Z, what happened?" President Jang said he fainted, probably exhausted from frequent overtime, thinking about how Shangqingi had rushed past me earlier and almost knocked me over out of worry for Zing Shuan. Suaning's expression darkened as she gritted her teeth, "Serves him right even if he collapses. I really don't care."
Seeing Suing worry that I might be upset, I smiled. "It's nothing serious. It doesn't hurt much anymore." Suing pursed her lips. "Go home and rest for a bit." I stood up, patted her shoulder, and said, "I'm not that fragile. Let's keep working." Suaning responded softly, then couldn't help asking. "You've been dealing with the divorce for so long." "Why isn't it finalized yet?"
I sighed. "I'd like to know, too." "Last night." "That's exactly what I wanted to talk to Shank King about, but she suddenly left and forgot what she promised me." Suan urged, "Hurry up and get it done."
At lunchtime, President Jang came over and said Zing Shuan was fine, and Shangqingi had already taken him home to rest. I still hadn't finished the herbal medicine prepared by old master Jang that evening after leaving the company. I went back to the old residence again, but Shang King didn't return that night. I pursed my lips and thought for a moment, then still gave her a call, but no one answered. So, I had no choice but to put down my phone.
The next morning, Suanin and I returned to the office after handling some matters. We went back to Zundu again in the afternoon. After today, there probably wouldn't be much left to do at Undo, and we wouldn't need to come here often anymore. When we arrived, Zing Shuan and his team were finally not in a meeting, but he had already returned to work and still looked quite busy. Neither Su Wing nor I cared about Z Minguan. We just wanted to finish today's work as soon as possible and say goodbye to Zundu.
Finally, around 5:00 p.m. our work was completed. From now on, there would rarely be a need for us to come here again. However, there were still matters to handle at Chongm. So, Suing and I had to go back there. When we reached downstairs, we ran into Shangqingi and Zeing Shuang coming out of another elevator. "Let's have a meal together sometime." Shanking walked over and said, "I heard the system has basically been completed. Thank you for your hard work, President Su." Suing replied calmly. "You're too kind, President Shen. This is what I should do." Shinqingly added, "As for the system your team developed, I'm very satisfied. I hope we'll have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." Suing replied lightly, "You flatter us, President Shen." Although that was said, in reality, we had already blacklisted Sundu.
As we were talking, we had already reached the paring lot. Just as Shang King was about to speak, a person suddenly rushed out from the side, holding a dagger and charging at Shangqingi. Suaning and I were about to leave and didn't notice at first. By the time I realized, my eyes widened. I was too far from Shangqingi. While Zingshuan was closer, after reacting, Zeing Shuan pushed Shangqingi away and the dagger plunged into his chest. The smell of blood instantly spread. The attacker was subdued. Shang King's expression changed drastically as she supported the injured Zinguan and quickly got into the car. The car soon disappeared.
From Suaning's and my sight, Suaning tugged at me. "Let's go." I replied, "All right."
That evening when I returned to the old residence, Shank King still hadn't come back. In fact, over the next two days, she didn't return at all. Jiang Naen probably knew that Zinguan was injured. And on the very night, he was hurt. She secretly slipped out, leaving the old residence behind.
On Friday, I still went back to the old house. I planned to leave after taking the medicine. Only when I arrived did I realize Shangqingi had come back. I froze for a moment remembering that I was the one who initiated the divorce. I went upstairs. Shanking was in the second floor living room. J King was there as well. When they saw me, they both looked over. Shank Kingi said indifferently. "You're back."
I nodded. "We can talk about the divorce. There's no need to avoid it here." I said directly. "That day I said manager Shen..." before I could finish. "Take a look at this. If you have no objections, just sign it." I took it. It was a divorce agreement. The first clause stated that she would take Jiang Naanians custody. The rest was all property she was giving to me. It spans several pages. I had come just to ask about the progress of our divorce. Now, seeing this agreement, I casually put it down and placed it back on the table. "I have no objections," I said. Then I opened my bag and took out a pen ready to sign.
Back then, the way I rose to this position wasn't honorable. Although she looked down on me, everyone could see how much I loved Shangqingi all these years. Whether it was Shang King herself or J King, they all knew it. Given how deeply I loved Shangqingi. Now that she wanted to divorce me, J King thought I wouldn't be able to accept it. But to her surprise, after seeing the agreement, not only did I agree readily, even when Shangqingi wanted custody of our daughter, I had no objections. She looked at Shangqingi in disbelief. Shank King looked at me deeply, seemingly surprised by how readily I agreed.
I took out my pen, bent down, and was about to sign when I paused and withdrew the pen. I said, "This divorce agreement, I'll have a lawyer review it tomorrow. If everything is fine, I'll sign it within today's and I'll have my lawyer contact you." There was a long list of assets she was giving me. When I skimmed through it just now, I even seem to see shares in some of her companies. In the divorce agreement I gave her before, I didn't ask for anything from her. Now that she wants to give it to me, I won't refuse. But I'm worried there might be loopholes in the terms if something happens to her company in the future. I'm afraid that holding these shares might make me a scapegoat. When Shang King had this divorce agreement drafted, she might not have intended to harm me, but I can't be sure that after she marries Zinguan, he won't exploit these loopholes to come after me.
Shank Kingley seemed not to expect me to be wary of her. After a pause, she said, "All right." I nodded. I put the divorce agreement back into my briefcase. Zipped it up and didn't say another word. Then I got up and left. J King watched my departing figure. Still in disbelief, looking at Shangqingi. "Is he all right?" Shank King looked at my retreating back and only withdrew her gaze after hearing that. Lowering her eyes, she said calmly, "I don't know."
Ji Kingu began to doubt everything at that moment. Old Madame Shang came up in the elevator and said, "Dinner is ready. Jang Shang has already gone downstairs. Why are you just still sitting here? Hurry down and eat." Jiqingu snapped back to her senses. "Okay, coming." Shangqingi also stood up.
Downstairs, Jiang Naanian was happily sitting on the sofa, leaning against me and chatting. I sat beside her, watching Jiang Naanian and listening attentively. It was such a warm mother-daughter scene, but thinking that I had silently given up, Jiang Naanians custody, Ji Kingu felt that the scene before her was unreal. Ji Kingu frowned. Old Madam Shen still didn't know about my divorce with Shangqingi. She smiled and called out to me and Jiang Naanian. "Jang Chaanian come." Jiang Naanian and I answered in unison, "Okay, we're coming." Jiang Naanian held my finger and happily walked toward the dining room.
Jiqingu sat next to Shangqingi. I sat together with Jiang Naen. Old Madame Shen said, "Kingu hasn't been here in a long time. When I saw you come just now, I specifically had them make a couple of your favorite dishes. You must eat more." Gi King replied, "Okay, Grandma, I'll take care of these meat dishes." I served food for Jiang Nyanian and helped her remove the fishbones. At first glance, it seemed no different from before. Gi Kingu couldn't help but take a few more looks, noticing her gaze. I glanced back coldly. Gi Kingu paused, then suddenly realized that my current gaze was no longer filled with affection like before, but rather indifference. Thinking of this, she quickly withdrew her gaze and looked toward Shangqingi. She found that Shangqingi was indeed looking at me as well and didn't seem to intend to look away immediately. In the past, this would have been impossible for Shangqingi.
Old Madame Shen suddenly cleared her throat and said, "Kingu, what are you looking at?" Seeing that J Kingu had been staring at me all evening, old Madame Shen frowned. Gi Kingu also came to her senses, guessing that the old lady had misunderstood. She deliberately said something the old lady would accept. "I just suddenly noticed. That brother-in-law seems unusually quiet today and isn't talking to Kingi. It feels a bit strange. So, I couldn't help but look a few more times."
Old Madame Shen had also noticed that I wasn't as toward Shangqingi as before. At the mention of this, she couldn't help but sigh, glancing at Shangqingi and saying, "Isn't this all King's fault?" Shangqingi only smiled faintly and said nothing. "Now I speak as little as possible." Hearing this, I simply lowered my head and ate quietly with no intention of speaking.
Before the meal was finished, Shen Kingley received a phone call. She glanced at it, stood up, and went to answer it, but she came back quickly after finishing the meal. She said to old Madame Shen, "I have something to do, so I'll be leaving first." Jang Nyanian was smart enough to guess that the call just now was from Zing Shuen. She also wanted to go to the hospital to see him, so she said, "Mom, I want to go too." Old Madam Shen said, "Take Xiang Chang along as well. Tomorrow happens to be Saturday. You can all go out and relax together."
Only then did I speak. "Grandma, I have to meet a friend later." Jang Naanian had been worried I might follow along. So hearing this reassured her. When she got into the car to leave, she said to me, "Bye dad." The car door closed and Shang King's car quickly drove away. I then drove off as well.
After leaving the old house area, while driving, I called Suing. When she picked up, I went straight to the point. "I'm getting a divorce from Shen Kingi. She just gave me a divorce agreement and allocated some property to me. I want to find a lawyer to check if there are any legal loopholes." Suan was having a meal with someone and upon hearing this, she was delighted. "I'll contact a reliable lawyer for you right away."
After hanging up, I drove home. At the hospital, Jiang Naanian and Shangqingi were still in the ward talking with Zing Shuan. Jiqingu had gone out into the corridor to make a call. She said to Bai Xi, "She's planning to divorce Jiang Shang." Bai Xi was out of town at the moment. And upon hearing this, she stopped in her tracks. "Are you sure?" Ji King replied, "Of course, I'm sure. I was there at the time. And Kingi didn't give him custody of Nyanian either."
Bai Xian tightened her grip on the phone and interrupted her. "I have something to do. I need to make a call first." Without waiting for Ji Kingu to respond, she hung up first. Bai Xian found my number and hesitated before dialing. But a few seconds later, she still made the call.
I had just arrived home not long ago. When I saw her call and casually answered it, "Missbi, is something the matter?" I thought she was calling to arrange a meeting about Meow Meow. If it's about seeing meow meow, I have something to handle tomorrow. So, I might not be available. Would the day after tomorrow or next week work?" By Xian knew I had misunderstood and simply said, "Okay." But she didn't hang up. I asked in confusion. "President Bai, is there something else?"
Bai Xian could tell my voice was calm. As if there was none of the pain or breakdown she had expected. There was no response from her side for two or 3 seconds. So, I had to speak again. "and Miss Bai, are you still there?" Bai Xiang came back to her senses and said, "Yes." I said directly, "If there's nothing else, then I'll hang up." Bai Xiang could only say, "All right," and hung up.
My recent concept had been highly regarded by my teacher. A couple of days ago, Joe sent me a message asking me to organize the content, and she would review it for me. Once everything was confirmed to be fine, she would have me submit it to an authoritative journal. In the past few days, I had been busy with training in Chong Mo's matters. So, this had not progressed much. Now that I had some free time, I wanted to finish this as soon as possible.
After hanging up by Xian called Ji Kingu back, "Kingi is going to divorce Jiang Chang and wants custody of Nyanian. He won't agree, right?" The reason Ji Kingu had called by Xi earlier was precisely to tell her this. "Jang Shang already agreed. Whether it's the divorce or custody. He had no objections. He even signed it calmly."
"I can't believe it." Hearing this by Xiang was also extremely surprised. She fell silent for a moment, then asked, "What about Kingli? How did she react?" "She was indeed quite surprised too. At dinner in the old house today, I felt she paid more attention to Jang Chang than usual."
"Oh," Bai Xiian said lightly. "Maybe he really wants a divorce." Jiq Kingu froze for a moment. "You mean Jang Chang?" She let out a laugh. "How is that possible? He's like Kingi since he was a teenager for so many years. There's no way he'd be willing to leave her." Bai Xian said meaningfully, "People can change." J Kingu insisted on her view. "Anyway, I don't think it's possible." She added, "No matter what, this is something worth celebrating for Kingi when you come back from your business trip. And when Zingchuan gets a bit better, we can find time to celebrate properly."
At this point, after finishing her words, Jiqingu noticed by Xian had fallen silent. The next day, when I arrived at the law firm, Suaning was already there. After I sat down, the lawyer's assistant brought me some tea. I handed the divorce agreement to pay Zukin. Suanin and Pukin had been friends for many years. When he saw the first clause about Jiang Naanians custody, he glanced at me. A few years ago, he had met Jiang Naanian several times. I had always treated her like my life. Whenever we talked on the phone, I would always talk about my daughter. But ever since I decided to divorce Shangqingi and return to Chongmo, I had never once brought up Nyanian in front of him. After noticing this. He had already guessed during the more than a year Jiang Nyanian spent abroad. She probably developed feelings for Zeing Shuen and may have even done things that chilled my heart. Seeing that I only had the Ler focus on the loopholes in the property terms of the agreement and not on the custody of our daughter. Suanin understood that I was planning to give up my daughter. She didn't ask further about it. In her view, I was someone gentle at heart and deeply sentimental. If I could even part with my own daughter. It meant I was utterly heartbroken over her. Thinking of this, Suaning didn't dwell on it further and continued reading the rest. After a while, she raised her brow. "So many properties. To be fair, Shangqingi is quite generous." I sipped my tea and said nothing. Suing casually flipped through and didn't disturb La Chang further.
After more than an hour, La Cheng said to me, "I've reviewed it repeatedly. There is indeed no problem with the agreement. It can even be said that this agreement is extremely favorable to you." I paused. "What do you mean?" Laer Chang explained, "Leaving aside the cash. The real estate has already been clearly listed with no ownership disputes at all. As for the shares Michen Kingley is giving you, it clearly states that you only need to collect dividends each year and if anything happens to the company, all legal responsibilities and compensation obligations will be borne by Miss Shang King herself and have nothing to do with you."
Suing widened her eyes. "Are you sure you didn't misread it? Shenkingi can be this kind-hearted." La Chang said, "Are you questioning my professional ability?" Suanin explained, "Not really. I'm just as shocked." "And the reason I had this contract reviewed wasn't because I suspected she would tamper with it, but because I was worried about loopholes," I said calmly, "As long as there's no problem. That's fine." As I spoke, I picked up the pen beside me without any hesitation. I signed my name. I said to Pukin. "As for the divorce procedures that follow, I'll have to trouble you. La your pay." Pukin nodded. "I still have a meeting shortly. This afternoon, I'll contact Miss Shang King's side and follow up on the subsequent divorce matters." I nodded.
After finishing, I went back with Suing to continue writing the paper. At Shang Group, Shang King was reviewing documents when her phone suddenly rang. She casually answered, "Hello, who is this?" The caller got straight to the point. "Hello, Miss Shangqingi. I am Mr. Jiang Shangs Laier. My surname is pay regarding the divorce agreement between you and Mr. Jang Shang. Mr. Jiang has already signed it. As for the subsequent divorce procedures, Mr. Jiang has entrusted me to handle them. May I ask if you are available now, Miss Shen?"
Shen Kingley paused, then lowered her gaze and said, "I still have video conferences this afternoon. I'm afraid I won't be free around 10:00 a.m. tomorrow. You can come to Shang Group to see me." La your Pay replied, "All right. Thank you for your cooperation, Miss Shen." After ending the call, Shangqingi continued reviewing the documents.
Night had already fallen. I wanted to go back to the Jiang residence for dinner. When I arrived at the Jang family villa area, it happened to be peak time for vehicles entering and leaving. I stopped the car and waited behind other residents for vehicle recognition. Just then, someone knocked on my car window. I turn my head and saw it was by Xian. I didn't expect to run into her here. I slowly lowered the window and greeted Miss Bi. By Xian's gaze fell on my face. Seeing my calm expression, there was none of the haggardedness she had expected. Seeing that she didn't speak, I asked, "You need something, Miss Bai."
By Xian said, "I have something to take care of here. I saw your car and came over to say hello." I nodded, "Then go ahead and get busy." By Xian found an excuse and said, "I heard there's a very famous pastry shop around here. I haven't really come to this area before. I looked around but couldn't find it. Do you know the exact location of the cake shop?"
I paused slightly and said, "There is indeed a very famous cake shop around here, but it's not on this side. It's on another street about a kilometer away." I pointed out the direction for her. At that moment, it was my car's turn for recognition. After saying goodbye, I slowly drove forward. In fact, Baiji already knew where that cake shop was. After I left, she didn't go there at all. She got into her car and shortly after made a phone call.
"I'm back. I have a flight to catch later. Ask Kingly if she's available. If she's not, come with me to the hospital to visit Zing Shuan." Jiq King was extremely surprised. "You're actually back. When did you return?" Bai Xian didn't answer her question. "Call Zing Shuan first and let him know. See if it's convenient for him later."
After hanging up, Bai Xian bought a bouquet of flowers and a fruit basket. Then went to the hospital to meet Jiq Kingu in the hospital room. Upon seeing Bai Xian, Zingshuan smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly come back?" Bai Xian replied indifferently, "I came back to handle some matters." Zingshuan lowered his gaze to look at the flowers she had just brought and said, "I see."
I stayed at the Giang residence that night and got up early the next morning. When I went downstairs, my aunt was already awake. Downstairs, personally busy preparing breakfast for me and the two children. When she saw me, she said, "Jang Sean, you seem to be in a good mood today." I went over to help knead the dough. "Not bad at all."
On the other side, Shangqingi had just arrived at Shang Group not long ago. When Ji Kingu came, Shangqingi glanced at her. Gi Kingu said with a smile, "I'm here to watch the show." Before Shangqingi could say anything, a staff member came over and said, "The accompanying Laer has arrived." Under the guidance of the staff member, Pzukin arrived at the reception room where Shangqingi received guest. Shankingly shook hands with him and said, "Please have a seat."
Pukin didn't waste any time. After sitting down, he took out the divorce agreement I had signed yesterday and pushed it in front of Shangqingi. Today was the weekend. G King, you had come specially just to see whether I would really sign it. At this moment, she leaned over and saw that I had indeed signed. She was shocked and said, "You actually signed it." Shank King glanced at the signature I had written and showed no reaction. Then began talking with Pukin. After discussing for a while, she said, "As for the properties and shares in the agreement, there are quite a lot of them on my side. I'll need some time to handle the relevant changes. Once all the procedures are completed, I will contact you again." Pukin nodded. "All right."
After La Your Song left, Shang group. Pukin contacted me and told me the result. I frowned and asked about how long will it take to finish. Pukin wasn't sure either. "That depends on Mich's progress." I replied calmly, "Got it. Thank you. to allow your pay."
The next day, I went to work at Chong Mo as usual. In the afternoon, Suan and I were discussing work at the company when her phone suddenly rang. Suan frowned at the caller ID. It was a call from Wen Ruang. She felt puzzled but still answered it. After hanging up, she said to me, "He wants to cooperate with us on a new project. Recently, the two projects I've been leading, the professor attaches great importance to them. It's already confirmed that we will once again cooperate closely with the government. The project has a very promising future. Once the news comes out after a while, I'm afraid Chongo's doors will be flooded by partners." Suing curled her lips and said, "When Shiu really is an old fox, but being in that position, he has firsthand information, so favoring his own people is normal." She gritted her teeth and said, "Our company really does need to cooperate with others to expand the project. But lately, I just can't stand when Rouro Tong." I knew she was upset because when Ruo Tong likes Zeinguan, I said calmly, "As long as the project proceeds smoothly, our priority is to secure the maximum benefit. Everything else is secondary. I've met Win Shichu once. He may have personal motives, but judging from his attitude, he is indeed someone trustworthy." Suan lifted her chin and said, "Anyway, before we officially start, there's still some time. I'll let him wait for now." I smiled, "All right, as long as you're happy."
Half an hour later, Suaning's phone rang again. Seeing the caller ID, this time she looked both disdainful and pleased. I knew it was another acquaintance calling. Suan smiled and looked at me. "It's Bai Xian." Bai Xian wouldn't call unless something was up. Suan asked me, "Should I answer?" I am Shangqing's husband Bai Xian. As Shangqing's childhood friends, they looked down on me. Yet, they accepted Zingchuan, the third party, and were even close to him. In her eyes, Bai Xiang was even more detestable than Win Ruong. I didn't want Suaning to act impulsively, so I persuaded answer it. Suaning picked up the call. As expected, she was also calling to seek cooperation. After stating her purpose by Xiian, "I'm currently on a business trip out of town," she said. "I'll return to the capital tomorrow at noon. Let's have dinner together tomorrow evening." Suan replied calmly. "Thank you, President B. But the project has just started and the company is extremely busy. I really can't make time tomorrow. Maybe next time." she hung up. Suan happily slapped the table. But as she laughed, she suddenly fell silent. She looked at me and said, "Do you think Shang King might also want to cooperate with us?" Hearing this, I replied calmly, "I'm not sure, but everything should be based on the project itself. We can put personal grudges aside for now." At this point, Suanin actually felt quite expectant, hoping Shang King would call her, but her expectation was disappointed. Next, she received several more calls, all seeking cooperation on the new project, but none related to Shenqingi. However, near the end of the workday, she received a call from an unknown number. She glanced at it twice before answering. The other party spoke first. "Is this President Su? I'm Zihi. Zi Ming Shuan's father." Suanin immediately stopped walking and held the phone away. She mouthed it to me. "Zi Hi." I looked at her without speaking, having known each other for years. Suani naturally understood what I meant. If with others, we could ignore past grievances and prioritize cooperation. Then for the Z family, that was completely unnecessary. Suan put the phone back to her ear. Her tone was polite, but her eyes were cold. "So, it's presidency. May I ask what you need from me?" Zihi was indeed calling to seek cooperation with Suanin. After he explained his purpose, Suanin said, "I understand your intention, presidency. If it's suitable, we will definitely give your side priority consideration. Please rest assured." Zihi was not a fool. Zeli Hai knew Suan's words were flawless. But what would actually happen was still uncertain. He still wanted to find a chance to invite Su Wanching out for a meal. But Su Wing used being busy as an excuse and hung up. She looked at me and said, "When Ruong Baiji as top tier wealthy families in the country, it's understandable that they received the news first, but the Z family as outsiders in the capital who haven't even established themselves yet also got the news this early." I knew what she was trying to say. That the Z family receiving the news so quickly might be because Shangqingi or Bai Xian and the others had leaked it to them. Suaning curled her lips. Her good mood was ruined just like that. But she knew my mood was even worse and said directly, "The world is full of money. I'll treat you to a big meal." I smiled and said, "Thanks."
After that, Su Waning and I went out together. When we arrived at the restaurant, we saw members of the Z family and the Sun family walking toward us. My expression remained blank while Suing muttered in a low voice, "Enemies always cross paths." The Z and Sun families were delighted to see Suing. Zeli Hai smiled broadly, "President Su, we meet again." Suing smiled faintly. "Yes, we meet again." Zihi invited, "Since we ran into each other. Why don't we?" Earlier when he called Suan, he had already wanted to invite her to dinner. Now that they had met, he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity. Suaning refused without hesitation. "No, this is my personal time. Maybe next time." Since she had said so. Zihi couldn't force it.
Watching Su Waqing and me leave, Lin Lulan frowned and said, "I heard from Inguan that Su Waning because of Jiang Chang. Her attitude toward her has always been lukewarm. As for Chamomo's project this time, could Su Waning also because of him refused to consider cooperating with us?" Sun Yukin said calmly, "Mom, there's still some time before the bidding for these two projects. Nothing has been decided yet, so anything is possible." Sun Mansion also said, "That's right. Regarding what happened between Minguan and her before, it was delayed because of old Madame Shen's obstruction and never progressed, but now hasn't there suddenly been a turning point, so we shouldn't lose heart. There's definitely still a chance." The turning point Sun Mansion referred to was actually Shangqingi and my divorce. Speaking of this, old Madam Son's mood improved greatly. Originally, they and Minguan didn't know about it. It was only when Jiq Kingu casually mentioned it to Mingshuan that they found out. Old Madam's son smiled happily. "Kingi has always wanted a divorce before. And now Minguin got injured, saving her. She ignored old Madame Shen's opposition and insisted on divorcing Xiang Shang. King truly cares deeply about Minguan." Hearing this, Sunyukin and Zihi also smiled. However, looking in the direction where Su Waning and I had just left, old Madam Son's smile faded slightly. "That boy Jiang Chang definitely..."
Doesn't want a divorce. This won't end with the divorce falling through, will it?
Son Yukin said coldly, "I heard from Inguin. That Kingley can basically make her own decisions. The reason she didn't divorce before was just to find the right opportunity and avoid hurting old Madame Shen's feelings. In her heart, she has always chosen Mingshuan."
Now that Minguan almost lost his life saving her, and she quietly went to divorce Jang Chan. It shows she no longer wants Minguan to suffer because of old Madame Shen.
Old Madam son said calmly, "As for Kingi, I have no doubts. I'm only worried that Jang Shang might stir up trouble and force King to compromise." At this point, she said to old Madame Z and Zi Hai, "I'm afraid you'll still have to talk to him yourselves."
Zi Hai and old Madame Z thought the same.
After we got out of the elevator and were about to head to the private room, three tall figures walked toward us. Seeing those three, Suing thought to herself, "Did I forget to check the almanac before going out today? Why do I keep running into annoying people?"
I glanced over. It was when Ruong and Yaan and another person who looked familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen her. When the three saw Su Waning and me, they took the initiative to greet her.
"President Sue, what a coincidence."
Su Waning smiled faintly. "It really is quite a coincidence."
They invited Suing to have a meal together. Suing smiled and declined. "No need. I still have things to do. It's not very convenient."
Hu Aluo looked at the other person. "Miss Chun, how come you're free today as well?" with a calm expression?
"I took a few days off."
Suani nodded. "Let's have a meal another time. We have things to do, so we'll go in first."
Chun Jing nodded. Suan and I then entered the private room first after we had walk some distance away.
Chun Jing spoke up. "Which of you offended her?"
"Ya. Wean looked confused. No, right."
When Rotang frowned and said nothing after entering the private room, Yaan took a sip of tea and said, "To be honest, Suanin is really quite impressive. If those two projects are really completed, her value will skyrocket."
Chan Jing said calmly, "She has been smart since childhood and she studied under Joe, the field she specialized in. You used to have a crush on the guy besides Suaning, but you quickly shifted your affection to someone else. If you moved on, then fine. But why did you start disliking him too? Did he do something wrong?"
Just now, when Ruong didn't even want to look at him properly, he couldn't even be bothered to glance at him. His disdain was so obvious that it was impossible to ignore.
When Ruong frowned and said, "Can we not talk about him?" As they ordered food, Chuning smoothly changed the topic.
Chong Mo had a lot going on that night. After dinner, Su Waning and I went back to Chong Mo to continue working.
On Wednesday morning, Su Waning and I were in a meeting. When the secretary came in and said, "Bai Xian is here. Given Bai Xian<unk>s status, it wouldn't be appropriate to ignore her." So, she said to me, "You continue leading the meeting. I'll go take a look."
When Suan arrived, Bai Xian was already seated in the reception room. Seeing that only Su Waning came, a subtle shift passed through Baiji<unk>s deep eyes. She stood up and took the initiative to shake hands. "Sorry for coming unannounced. I hope President Su can forgive me."
Suaning replied, "You're too polite, President B."
After sitting down, Bai Xiangian went straight to the point and handed a document to Suaning. "This is my proposal for cooperation. President Su, please have a look."
Suaning took it and began reading. The more she read, the more serious she became. Finally, she put the document down and said, "President Bai is indeed very sincere, but I still have other considerations on my side. It may take some time before I can give you a reply."
Bai Xian maintained a good attitude. "No problem. It's normal to compare multiple options. I understand. in the future. President Sue, if you have any thoughts about the terms I've offered, feel free to contact me anytime." and then left.
By Xian had a good attitude and strong cooperation intent. Suaning couldn't find any fault with her and even personally escorted her downstairs.
By the time she returned, I had already finished the meeting. She couldn't help but say to me, "This Baiji has quite strong execution ability. I only rejected her on the phone the day before yesterday, and today she came with a fully prepared proposal. Throughout the whole process, she didn't say a single unnecessary word. To be honest, I'm really tempted by the proposal she offered."
I nodded slightly. "Then we can observe for now. If it's truly suitable, cooperating with her wouldn't be a problem."
Su Waning thought the same. With no one disturbing us, a fulfilling and peaceful weekend passed just like that.
On Monday, I went to Chong Mo as usual. From that day on, those who had previously called Su Waning, expressing their desire to cooperate with Chong Mo, began coming one after another with proposals.
When Roong came on Thursday, Suan had happened to be on a business trip on Wednesday. After receiving the news, I put down my work and headed to the reception room.
When the door of Chan Mo<unk>'s reception room was pushed open. when Ruo Tong stood up. But when she saw that I was the only one entering, she paused. I extended my hand politely and said, "Hello, President Wen. I'm Jia Wanhang. Suan went out of town yesterday and is currently not at Chongmo. All matters at Chongmoo right now are fully handled by me. If there's anything President wants to discuss, you can talk to me as well."
When Ruo Tong didn't know whether what I said was true or if I was deliberately trying to show my importance in Suanqing<unk>s eyes. What was even more ridiculous was that although she knew she had come to discuss cooperation, I hadn't even brought any technical staff to avoid unnecessary trouble.
When Ruo Tong didn't choose to leave, instead she extended her hand. Chinking shook hands with me and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jang." She sat down and handed over the document. "This is our company's proposal. Mr. Jang, please take a look."
I took it and said, "All right, I'll review it first." I opened the document. Just as I was about to start reading, another secretary knocked and came in and whispered in my ear, "Mr. Jang, there are visitors downstairs. It's<unk> Zi Hai and Z Minguan. Shall I have them wait in your office?"
I interrupted her and said softly, "No, no need."
Send them away after Su Wanqing secretary left. I apologized to Win Ruo Tong and then began reviewing her proposal. While reading the cooperation proposal she provided, I thought that although when Ruo Tong came a bit late, she clearly had confidence in doing so because her proposal was detailed and almost perfectly matched my requirements.
After more than half an hour, I put down the document and said, "President W's proposal does indeed align very well with our company's needs. We will consider it carefully."
When Ruong didn't want to talk much with me, planning to discuss it further when Suanim returned, but on the surface, she remained polite. "Thank you very much for your recognition. I look forward to the opportunity to cooperate with your company." After speaking, she added, "I still have matters to attend to, Mr. Jang. See you next time."
Even before I had sensed that when Roong didn't like me much and now meeting in the reception room, although she tried to be polite, I could still feel the indifference in her attitude. I pretended not to notice and said, "All right, see you next time." And I instructed Su Waning secretary. "Secretary Keon, please see president went out."
When Ru Tong left, when she reached downstairs, she saw a familiar figure. Zingshuan and Zlihai had not left because they thought President Su was away on a business trip and that it was just an excuse not to see them. They sat downstairs and kept waiting. Unexpectedly, they didn't see Suing, but instead ran into Wro last week when Rouang had gone to Zandu but didn't see Zinguan. After asking the staff there, she learned that Zeinguan was injured. The wound on Zingshuan was quite deep and his hospital stay hadn't been easy, so his face still looked somewhat pale.
Seen when Rotang<unk>s extraordinary demeanor, Zihai guessed she wasn't an ordinary person, he turned and asked Minguan, "Who is this?"
Z Minguan said calmly, "This is president when then he introduced this is my father Zihi."
After learning that when Ruan politely said, "So your presidency, nice to meet you."
After exchanging pleasantries, Zingshuan asked, "President Wen, are you here at Chong Mo to discuss cooperation with President Su as well?"
When Roong smiled, "Yes, and you and President Z are here for the same reason."
Zingshuan replied, "Yes."
"Then have you met President Su?"
When Rotang shook her head, "No, President Su has gone out of town."
Hearing this, Zihi smiled and said, "So, President Su really is on a business trip. I thought she just didn't want to see us."
When Ruong paused, seeing them sitting there, she asked, "Weren't you invited upstairs?"
Zingshuan answered, "Honestly, no. President Su secretary said she was on a business trip and asked us to leave."
When Ruong<unk>s expression darkened slightly, noticing this, Zingshuan asked, "What's wrong? Is something not right?"
When Ruong said coldly, "President Su is indeed not here, but the one who met with me was Mr. Jang, whom I met before, it's undue. He said that since President Su is absent. All matters at Chong Mo are handled entirely by him. He can represent Chongo in discussing cooperation with me."
Zihai was stunned. Zingchuan also paused. He then said indifferently, "Is that so?" Then he said to Zihi in that case, "Dad, let's head back first."
When Ruong frowned and was about to speak, when I also came downstairs, seeing the three of them, I paused. Before I could speak, Zeing Shuan<unk>s phone suddenly rang. He answered the call and curled his lips into a smile. "Kingly, you've arrived. Okay, I'll come out right now."
When Ruo Tong said, "President Shen is here."
At the mention of Shen King, Zeingu<unk>s tone became gentler. "My injuries haven't fully healed yet. Kingly isn't at ease. So, she came to pick me up." Then he added, "President, we<unk>ll be leaving first. See you next time." She then said to Zingshuan, "I'm leaving, too. Let's go together."
Zingshuan nodded. Without sparing me a glance and walked away without looking back, but before when Ruong left, she turned back and shot me a cold look. Seeing her expression, I didn't even need to think to understand why. At that thought, I let out a cold laugh and withdrew my gaze first, treating them as if they were air and walked toward the exit almost alongside them.
Seeing me leave with them without any hesitation, Zihai was surprised and frowned. Zeing Shuan's steps paused ever so slightly. Then he acted as if he hadn't seen me and kept walking.
At the paring lot, Shangqingi had gotten out of the car and was leaning against the door, waiting for Zeing Shuen when she saw me and Zi Mingchuan walking out together. She froze for a moment, but her expression quickly returned to normal. I also saw Shen Kingi, but I kept my gaze straight ahead and walked toward where my car was parked. I got into the car, set the navigation, and drove away.
There was a banquet on Saturday and Su Waning returned on Friday afternoon. After learning about Wu Tong, she let out an angry laugh and said coldly, "In that case, there's no need for us to cooperate with her. Seeing her would just annoy me."
I thought the same, "There are plenty of good partners, not just one Rouang. There's no need for me to wrong myself."
On Saturday afternoon, I was arranging the suit I would wear that night when my phone rang. It was a call from Giang Nyanian. I hadn't answered her previous calls. I thought she might reduce. The frequency of calling me because of that, but unexpectedly this past week, she still called me two or three times as usual, but I didn't answer any of them. This time was the same. I didn't pick up. It seemed Nanian was no longer as upset as before.
After 8:00, Shangqingi arrived together with Zeing Chuan. At the entrance of the banquet hall, Zeing Shiui<unk>s outfit today was, as always, expensive, and just as handsome, impossible to look away from. As soon as he and Shangqingly appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.
When Ru Tong and Shan Jing had just arrived, noticing the commotion, they also looked over. Upon seeing Zeing Shuen, a trace of admiration flashed, and when Ruo Tong<unk>s eyes again, Chan Jing looked at them and asked Yawwean, "That's Zing Shuan."
Yahweh and nodded. "Handsome, right?"
After taking a couple of looks, Chun Jing withdrew her gaze and didn't comment. Shenking<unk>s influence was evident. As soon as she arrived, many people went up to greet her.
Only then did Suing and I arrived a bit late. Jon Mo had recently become the most talked about presence in the business circle. Therefore, when Su Wanin appeared, the gazes of others at the banquet were even more enthusiastic than before.
The moment Su Waning and I stepped into the banquet hall, Bai Xiang Jiqing Yu Chan Jing, Guu Oong noticed Chamomo at the very first moment as the most talked about company in the circle recently. It was only natural for the host to invite Su Waning. It was just that Bai Xian wasn't sure whether I would attend with Su Waning. Now seeing Suing appear arm-in- arm with me. A flicker passed through by Xiian<unk>s cold eyes. J Kingu had also guessed that I might show up but didn't expect me to attend in full formal attire.
As soon as Suing and I entered the banquet hall, we were surrounded by the crowd. Everyone stepped forward to compliment Su Wanchin. Suan smiled and said, "You flatter me. For Chongo to reach where it is today is the result of the collective efforts of all our employees." At this point, she looked at me and said, "especially Giang Chun, his contributions are indispensable. The core technology is all with me, but my identity still cannot be exposed for now. And this time, we've even signed a confidentiality agreement with the government. Although my identity can't be revealed, it's still fine to emphasize my importance a bit. Recently there has been more attention on Chongm. Many people also know that I am both an employee of Chongm and have a very close relationship with Suaning. Suaning would even delegate authority to me to handle company matters when she is not around."
Now hearing her say this, many people subconsciously felt that my work ability must be quite good. As for her saying that Chong Mo has achieved this today because of my indispensable contributions, no one really took it seriously, but they still smiled and flattered. "Mr. Jang truly has both talent and good looks."
Hearing this, Zeing Shuan let out a mocking smile. He looked toward Shangqingi and saw that she only glanced at me briefly before indifferently looking away. Zingshuan also withdrew his gaze coldly, but then noticed Bai Xian staring intently at me, though perhaps she was actually looking at Suan. Bai Xian also wanted to cooperate with Chong Mo. Zingshu knew about it. Seeing her look over, Bai Xiang withdrew her gaze.
When Baiji saw that there were fewer people around Suan and me, she quickly sighed. "I'll go over and greet Suan." Then she said, "Since you've decided to cooperate with Chongm, if that's the case, why don't we go over together and say hello?"
Shinqingly said calmly, "I'm not in a hurry. You go ahead."
Hearing that Bai Xiang walked over. "President Su, Mr. Jang," seeing it was her, Su Waning<unk>s smile faded slightly. "So, it's<unk>s president by" I also greeted politely, "President."
At this moment when Ruo Tong also walked over unlike Bai Xiian she only greeted Su Waning. "President Su"
Suaning replied, "President, you're here as well. Sorry, I was too busy earlier and didn't see you."
When Ruo Tong naturally noticed that Su Wing seemed even colder toward her than the last time they met, she wasn't surprised. She shot me a cold glance. She was sure I must have spoken badly about her in front of Su Waning. She didn't care much about Su Waning<unk>s attitude and said, "I visited Chamo a few days ago. I wonder if President Su is aware of it."
Su Wani nodded slightly. "Jang Xang told me about your proposal, President. I've reviewed it and I also think it's very good. However, personally, I don't quite like it. So, I'm sorry cooperation is probably not possible."
When Ruo didn't expect Suanin to disregard right and wrong to this extent because of me, she said coldly, "I thought President Su was someone who clearly separates public and private matters."
Since things had been laid out, Suing didn't hide it either and smiled. "I am. But after the breakup, although there was some unpleasantness between me and Su Waning, however, when Luong did not intend to just give up on cooperating with Chong Mo, she said, "President Su thinks there is a problem with my proposal. The next time I will bring a new proposal and visit Chong Mo," she glanced at the person beside her by Xiian. And added, "Since President Su still has matters to attend to, I won't disturb you any further. Goodbye."
After saying that when Luo Tong turned and left throughout the entire time the media I by Xian stood by and listened but from the way when Luo Tong didn't even look at me properly I guess that Suaning not wanting to cooperate with when Luot Tang was related to me she didn't ask further about it and simply pretended not to hear as she said "I have also prepared a new proposal I wonder if you're free on Monday to have a meal together" seeing that Bai Xian set aside the grudges between the four of them and even thought to include me When inviting for a meal, Suanin felt a bit more favorable toward her, but still kept things strictly professional.
"Monday is it? I'm not sure yet. If I'm free, I'll contact you."
Please rest assured, President Bai Xiang was not in a hurry. "With President Su<unk>s words, I'm at ease."
As her voice fell, the host on the stage ahead suddenly came up to speak. Immediately afterward, the host of the banquet and his wife. Amid everyone's applause, and the music that started playing began to dance. Many guests joined in the evening's banquet, there were many handsome and outstanding young elites.
At this moment, a particularly good-looking young man. Walk toward Bai Xi. "Miss Bi, may I have the honor of inviting you to a dance?"
By Xiians expression shifted slightly, and she subtly turned her gaze toward me. Suaning didn't notice and became interested. She bent slightly and made an exaggerated gesture. "Handsome and charming Mr. Jang, may I have the honor of inviting you to a dance?"
I smiled faintly and said, "Of course, the honor is mine." As I spoke, I took Su Waning<unk>s hand and led her onto the dance floor. Seeing this, Bai Xiian also extended her hand to the young man.
As Su Waning and I stepped onto the dance floor. Our line of sight happened to face Shangqingi and Zing Shuen.
