Chapter 43 (4)
Jiang Jingchuan has always treated his subordinates well. If he was sitting in first class, then his assistant would too.
His assistant's been with him for a few years, and the relationship between the two was alright. You could say that they mention things other than work as well.
Jiang Jingchuan asked with a smile: "When are you going to get married?"
The assistant was surprised. After all, this was the first time Jiang Jingchuan asked such things. It felt a bit like his relatives would ask, so he relaxed and replied with a grin: "Maybe by New Year's Eve. If it's too late, then early may. Friends and relatives would be free because of the holidays. (T/N: They have a labor holiday in May.")
"Go get married. I'll give you a few more day-offs, so go out and have a good time."
The assistant was overjoyed and thanked him. Seeing Jiang Jingchuan feel happier, he bravely said: "Jiang Zong, I envy you. Your relationship with your wife is so good. I don't know if I can be like you after marriage."
"Do you want some tips?"
"That would be great." The assistant felt like vomiting when he said this. He and his girlfriend have been together for several years, and their feelings were about to soar in the sky. Jiang Jingchuan should be the one asking him for some tips.
"The first secret is to keep your distance from other women. Your three sentences should be reduced to one. Even better to not speak at all."
The assistant nodded in understanding. If he didn't keep his distance from other women, then would he still be able to live to the present? Ha ha.
"The second secret is to be nice to her, never lose your temper."
When his assistant started to feel like he was reading a textbook, Jiang Jingchuan looked out of the window and sighed: "A person's mood is easily affected by the people around them. When she's in a good mood, then you will follow suit."
He also had a lot of problems. The more he sat in his position, the more trouble he got.
There were too many things inside and outside the company. Jiang Jingchuan had to learn how to deal with them and balance both parties.Because he firmly believed he had a lot of trouble, Su Yan must also have them. If he vents his anger, then not only would his problems won't be alleviated, he would increase hers.
Due to this, he wasn't willing to show her any negative emotions, whether at work or with Lu Yang.
After Jiang Jingchuan left, there was a lot of time left for Su Yan. Everyday working hours were controlled by Su Yan herself. When her eyes felt tired, she would leave the studio and run to go shopping nearby. She recently took a fancy to the men's wallets, but the price was quite costly. On several occasions, She couldn't help but want to buy it, but she restrained herself every time. She wanted to wait until she earned her salary from Zhou Lu and buy it for Jiang Jingchuan. The money would be from her own hands.
She wasn't a heartless person. Jiang Jingchuan was good to her, providing her with a great life. When she gets her first salary, the first person she thinks of is him.
The cashier got familiar with Su Yan. She felt strange because the diamond ring and bracelet on her hand cost way more than the wallet, so why isn't she buying it?
"Not buying it today either?" The cashier's voice was sweet. Her patience was of the highest degree.
Su Yan shook her head. "I may not be able to buy it for more than a month" She paused and looked at the wallet on the counter. "I want to buy it for him on my own."
The cashier smiled. "I'll be waiting for you."
For the first time, Su Yan felt eager to get the money faster, so she could buy the wallet for Jiang Jingchuan.
When she got to bed, she couldn't help but draw what to buy after she gets paid.
Many plans were made, and the cash might not fit if you looked at it closely, so Su Yan crossed the idea of buying her own shoes.
Suddenly, her mobile phone bumped a WeChat message.
When she opened it, she saw that it was sent by Jiang Jingchuan.
Jiang Jingchuan: "Are you sleeping?"
Su Yan: "Not Yet."
Jiang Jingchuan: "Fortunately, I didn't bring you here. The weather is bad."
She looked at the phone and finally bit the bullet to send the message. "I miss you." She threw the phone across the bed to save her some embarrassment.
She didn't know if WeChat had an unsend function. She regretted her decision to send such a straightforward message.
The phone rang a few times, and she claimed up the bed as if she was dead. She opened the chat and saw his face full of smiles.
Jiang Jingchuan: "I want to book a ticket and come back soon."
Su Yan: "No, work hard. I'll be waiting for you at home."
She didn't want to think about what kind of feeling Jiang Jingchuan had for her, as long as she knew that she would always be with him.
Thinking about things like this was alright too.
Jiang Jingchuan: "How is your work now?"
Su Yan: "It's alright. I don't have to work very long, and Zhou Lu is good to me."
Jiang Jingchuan took the phone and hesitated for a while. "Didn't you say you wanted to match Lu Yang with the girl from your studio? How's the situation?"
He could just standby, but he didn't want to. He has already started to manifest a sense of distrust toward Lu Yang.
He wanted to know her situation.
Seeing her being called Mrs. Jiang made Jiang Jingchuan feel comfortable.
She could only be Mrs. Jiang.
But if you thought about it, Lu Yang wasn't somebody without a sense of proportion. He knew this much.
He won't bother Lu Yang if he doesn't go look for his wife.
He quickly deleted his message.
Jiang Jingchuan: "Are you sleeping well?"
She looked at the message wanting to curse. She knew Jiang Jingchuan. If she didn't say yes, he would surely say something creepy again.
Don't look at their proper exterior, they were especially dirty underneath.
Su Yan: "I sleep very well."
Jiang Jingchuan: "But I haven't been sleeping well without you."
Su Yang did not intend to reply and pretended to fall asleep.
The phone rang again after a while.
Jiang Jingchuan: "I've been counting the days, trying to endure."
Jiang JIngchuan: "Reporting to the leader. I hardly looked at anybody else, and I shut everybody who tried to flirt with me."
Su Yan giggled: "Do well."
She underestimated Jiang Jingchuan's shamelessness.
Jiang Jingchuan: "I feel so embarrassed. Will I get a reward when I come back?"
Su Yan: "I'll reward you with a Hundred Yuan."
Jiang Jingchuan: "I am not such a superficial person. Please give me other rewards."
Su Yan felt defeated.
Must you say such foul language on WeChat?
Jiang Jingchuan knew her face was thin and did not continue the topic.
In the afternoon after work, Su Yan went out with Jiang JingJing to watch a movie. The friendship between women was radical. She and Jiang JingJing's feelings were good, and she was willing to tell her some personal things.
"Sister-in-law, can you ask my brother to bring me something?"
"You can talk to him directly."
Jiang Jingjing spat out her tongue. "I am too shy to tell him. He might not bring it if I ask, but he definitely will if you ask. That's the difference between a wife and a sister."
"Okay, I'll tell him at night."
"You're the best!" Jiang Jingjing didn't know what to do. She suddenly felt like Su Yan was a good person and began to feel comfortable around her. You also didn't have to worry about her leaking secrets, who wouldn't make friends with her?
After they arrived at the restaurant, Jiang Jingjing began to ask for credit. "This restaurant is good, and it's difficult to get a booking. My classmates helped me get a booking, and it tastes great here."
Su Yan felt that it was the same everywhere, but since Jiang Jingjing said this, she couldn't help but praise her. "Any restaurant I'll go to with you will be delicious."
"There are other restaurants that taste good. Let's go together in the future."
She would never have guessed that as soon as she gets seated by the waiter, she would see Wang Siqi.
Wang Siqi came on a blind date. She was two years younger than Jiang Jingchuan, and she was being eyed by her family since last year. She had been able to refuse in the past, but she couldn't push herself away. Wang Siqi has been in a bad mood for a while because Jiang Jingchuan had been hiding from her. She wasn't a person without self-esteem so she went on a blind date to show Jiang Jingchuan.
The other party was a returnee. Although the family business wasn't as good as Jiang's, he was an only child and had been targeted by the Wang Family.
After several messages, they met up.
Wang Siqi came with an angry disposition, but she couldn't keep her face black as she stared at his handsome face.
The man was gentlemanly and took care of her feelings while chatting. He was also very funny, In short, the dinner was pleasant.
Who knew that the dinner wasn't over? Her smile froze when she saw Su Yan.
They couldn't pretend not to see each other. There was also Jiang Jingjing on the side.
Wang Siqi felt that she only lost to Su Yan in terms of appearance. She crushed her in other aspects.
Even if she was jealous, she wouldn't let herself stoop so low.
Jiang Jingjing also saw Wang Siqi and went over with Su Yan. "Jiejie, why are you here?"
Wang Siqi did not answer her directly but looked at Su Yan. "Miss Su, it's good to see you."
Su Yan smiled slightly, "Miss Wang."
Jiang Jingjing looked at the man and smiled, "Jiejie, is this your boyfriend?"
Wang Siqi's heart clenched and just when she was about to explain, the man stood up and introduced himself, "No, I am just friends with Miss Wang."
After saying this, he continued, "My name is Song Yuan."
Su Yan didn't want to shake hands with him, but knowing it would be rude, she quickly shook his hand. "Hello."
Song Yuan also shook hands with Jiang Jingjing.
Su Yan took Jiang Jingjing's hand and smiled at the two. "We will not continue to bother you then."
Wang Siqi reluctantly smiled.
After they left, Wang Siqi sat down in relief while Song Yuan stared in the direction where they left.
Fortunately, Song Yuan returned to his senses and sat down feeling sorry for Wang Siqi.
"The two ladies just now, are they your friends?" Song Yuan asked.
Wang Siqi's tone was cold, "Not friends."
Song Yuan lived abroad for many years and was straightforward and simple. He thought for a moment and said to Wang Siqi, "Although it is rude to say this, I think it would be more impolite to conceal my feelings. I have no intention of having a blind date, but it has been fun chatting with Miss Wang. We can still be friends?"
Wang Siqi didn't know if she should feel lost or relaxed. She smiled and nodded.
She didn't have the intention either.
Song Yuan sighed in relief. "Miss Wang, since we reached a consensus... Can you tell me the name of the lady in the red dress?"
It was Su Yan. Wang Siqi almost gasped for air.
Jiang Jingchuan didn't like her. She still had her own pride in front of her blind date, yet he liked Su Yan.
How can she not be angry?
After she calmed down, there was sorrow in her heart. "Do you like her?"
Song Yuan was a bit embarrassed, but he still nodded honestly. "It was love at first sight."
"Is it because she is beautiful?"
Song Yuan nodded then shook his head. "She is beautiful, but her temperament is more attractive."
Wang Siqi wanted to suggest him an ophthalmologist. She looked at his expecting eyes and said, "I think you're attracted to her temperament because she's married."
Looking at his shocked face. Wang Siqi got heartfelt pleasure.
She wasn't happy this evening, so why can't he accompany her?
She knew she had to tell Song Yuan that her marriage wasn't happy and make him pursue her.
She wanted to make the people who made her unhappy follow suit.
Song Yuan's shocked look faded, and just when Wang Siqi wanted to convince him, he regained his smile, "It's a pity, but it doesn't matter. As long as she's happy."
Why do you say that?" Wang Siqi asked subconsciously.
"She gives off a comfortable feeling. It's good for a person to be happy, if she's married then forget it."
Song Yuan looked at her with some doubts. "She has a partner, so I should wish her happiness.
Wang Siqi pretended to smile, "I thought you would say that you wouldn't give up."
Jiang Jingjing knew that Wang Siqi liked her brother. It was peculiar because she would usually know if somebody had a crush.
Although she knew, she didn't tell her brother.
A few days ago, her mother had a chat with her brother. When she passed by, she heard some words about Wang Siqi.
Jiang Jingjing was somewhat interested and asked Mama Jiang, but she wouldn't say anything specific.
She also saw Wang Siqi's hostility towards her Sister-in-law, but she couldn't beat her in public.
She took out her phone and texted Jiang Jingchuan. "Brother, help me get this please."
After a while, Jiang Jingchuan replied. "It may not be available."
Jiang Jingjing snorted and texted back, "I was eating with Su Yan and I met Wang Siqi in the restaurant. I speculate that she's on a blind date."
Jiang Jingchuan: "What do you want?"
Jiang Jingjing sighed in her heart.
T/N: I map out what to buy like Su Yan haha. Also, damn it- Why did Song Yuan have to fall for Su Yan? He should have picked Wang Siqi up and moved across the world.
