If she replied, it would only be more awkward. But if she didn't reply, Ella Wen wouldn't find anywhere to go. This awkwardness lasted until her business trip next week. During this time, Ella Wen continued to create the illusion that they were chatting happily, and the two elders of the Jiang family believed it.
On Monday morning, all members of Group A went on a business trip to Lanshan, Xichuan to sign the contract and see the live broadcast venue.
When Ella Wen arrived at Lanshan, it was already afternoon. The local residents took them to the hotel in the town. There were also special people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to receive them. Xichuan Lanshan was the first to launch agricultural products. The people above decided to set the location in Xichuan Lanshan, which showed their attention to Xichuan.
Ella Wen knew the importance of signing the contract this time, and Laura Fang also pulled them together to check the plan again overnight, "We are the first group. If the contract for this project is signed perfectly, in addition to the bonus, we will also be the key project team of the entire Shengle. Do you understand?"
She opened it and felt a heart attack. The message was a link forwarded by Alexander Jiang.
She opened it and saw the link titled "How to punish for spreading rumors and slander"
Ella Wen clicked on it for some unknown reason and saw the following content.
1. Rumors and slander should be punished according to the specific circumstances:
(1) If the rumor-mongering and defamation of others does not constitute a crime, the offender shall be detained for not more than 5 days or fined not more than RMB 500;
The friends in Group A all nodded. Grace Ke was more straightforward and asked, "Sister Hui, if we complete this project, how much will the bonus be? Will the new boss be more generous than the previous boss?"
"Do you know the identity of the new boss?" Laura Fang asked Grace Ke, but then answered herself: "The new boss is much stronger than you think. The Jiang family is a century-old family in Hong Kong City. This amount of money is just an hour's income for him. If you want more money, work hard." She paused, looked at Ella Wen and said: "Ella Wen, you too, try to make the boss convinced of you this time, so that he won't continue to trouble you in the future."
Ella Wen nodded and said, "I understand, Sister Hui."
The next day, under the leadership of the Industry and Commerce Bureau, Shengle and Xichuan Lanshan signed the first phase of the contract. The local residents were also very enthusiastic and took a lot of Leibo navel oranges to distribute to the friends in Group A. Each person received four boxes as a thank you gift in advance for their help in distribution.
Group A couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the residents, so they all thanked them. Ella Wen started to plan how to divide the four boxes of Leibo navel oranges for each person. She first thought of her grandfather and Alexander Jiang's grandparents, so she took a photo and sent it to Grandpa Jiang.
(2) In serious cases, the offender shall be detained for a period of not less than 5 days but not more than 10 days.
Before Ella Wen finished reading, his phone vibrated again.
She exited the link and received a message from Alexander Jiang.
J: [Ms. Wen, the above applies to husband and wife as well.]
Ella Wen withdrew, and after thinking about it, she still didn't reply. When Alexander Jiang saw this sentence, he was signing a document. He knew that she had misunderstood his meaning again. When he picked up the phone and was about to reply, he saw the message from Ella Wen.
Ella Wen: [Is it possible that I am naturally likable? And is it so difficult to admit that others are better than you, understand the ways of the world, and please the elderly? ]
Alexander Jiang twitched the corner of his mouth and smiled for the first time.
But maybe it was because she solved a lot of troubles for him with his grandparents, which allowed him to take a break and chat with Ella Wen on WeChat. But more importantly, he needed to send a certificate to his grandparents.
J: [If you can delete the impression of me being petty in your mind, you won’t distort the meaning of my previous sentence.]
Ella Wen: [Grandpa, grandma, this is Leibo navel orange from Lanshan, Xichuan. I'm on a business trip here, so I'll bring you a box. Would you like to try it? If you like it, I'll buy some more for you.]
Although she had no intention of maintaining this marriage with Alexander Jiang, she had to repay Grandpa and Grandma Jiang for their love for her. The old people were sincere, and she couldn't destroy the friendship between the two families from their previous lives because of her own willfulness.
Grandpa Jiang quickly replied with a voice message. Ella Wen clicked on it and listened. Grandpa Jiang said, "Girl Wen, thank you for thinking about grandpa and grandma. Grandpa and grandma thank you. How many days will you be on a business trip in Lanshan? Did you bring any thick clothes with you?"
After Ella Wen replied one by one, she received a message from Alexander Jiang the next second.
Later, he said: [I heard from Grandpa that you want to send them oranges? ]
J: [I heard that each of you has four boxes. You gave one box to your grandparents. What do you do with the remaining three boxes? ]
Ella Wen: [How do you know?!]
J: [What do you think? You accepted bribes and didn’t allow me to know?]
Ella Wen: [One box for grandpa, one box for my roommate.]
Ella Wen: [Yes.]
Afterwards, Alexander Jiang sent an address of a port city.
Added a sentence at the end: [No wonder the old man likes you. ]
Ella Wen felt strange after reading this sentence, as if someone was trying to please her deliberately.
She replied: [The old people like me, not because I bring them oranges.] It turns out that the more relaxed the chat, the more Grandpa Jiang believes.
Alexander Jiang felt relieved, but once a person relaxes, it is easy to reveal flaws.
Alexander Jiang agreed and sent the records to Ella Wen.
Ella Wen replied in tacit agreement: [I understand. When grandpa asks, I will tell him that you came to pick me up.]
J: 【Eye-catching.】
J: [There is another box? ]
Ella Wen: [Why should I tell you? We are just husband and wife. If you ask again, it will be impolite. Or do you want to eat too? ]
J: [Is there anything I can eat? ]
Ella Wen looked at this and fell into deep thought. She had other plans for the other box, but Alexander Jiang seemed to want to eat it too.
Alexander Jiang waited for a while, but didn't get a reply from Ella Wen. He thought she was serious and was about to send her a message saying that he didn't like oranges. But he didn't expect to receive another reply from Ella Wen.
Ella Wen looked at these two incomprehensible words and asked, "What does 'eye-catching' mean?"
J: [Smart.]
Ella Wen: [...]
The contract and on-site live broadcast inspection of Xichuan Lanshan has ended.
Ella Wen: [I'll reluctantly take one from my roommate's box and give it to you.]
When sending a beggar away, one should give him a pair for good luck, but she only gave him one. Alexander Jiang laughed in anger.
J: [You keep it.]
Alexander Jiang took a screenshot of the chat record and showed it to Grandpa Jiang, who replied after seeing it.
---[It's good to have something to eat. Wen will take a flight the day after tomorrow morning, remember to pick her up at the airport.] "Got it." Old Master Jiang said in a deep voice: "Tell him to call me back after the meeting."
Chapter 1 Chapter 6
On a December night in Beijing, heavy snow was falling outside, and the falling snowflakes looked particularly beautiful.
In the Bulgari Western Restaurant, the gorgeous crystal chandeliers emit soft light, and beautiful piano music surrounds the entire restaurant. The waiters in uniform white shirts walk around slowly and quietly.
From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows you can overlook the bustling night view of Beijing.
On the morning of the day he returned, Grandpa Jiang sent a message saying that he had received the Leibo navel oranges sent from Lanshan, Xichuan, and praised Ella Wen, wishing her project a big hit. Ella Wen chatted with Grandpa for a few words, and Grandpa Jiang casually asked, "What are you doing, girl?"
Ella Wen seemed to be used to lying. She subconsciously felt that Grandpa Jiang was trying to get information on purpose. Then she thought of the confession that Alexander Jiang had arranged with her that day, and said, "I'm on the phone with Alexander Jiang. He said he would pick me up at the airport and take me back to the company."
Grandpa Jiang, who was far away in Hong Kong City, looked at the news and fell into deep thought.
Just one minute before Ella Wen replied, he had other matters at Gangcheng Company that needed to be handled remotely immediately. He called Alexander Jiang, but it was Assistant Gao who answered the phone and said, "President Jiang is in a meeting with the management, sir, do you need me to go in and call him?"
The Jiang family does not allow interruptions during meetings, so Mr. Jiang said that he would communicate with him after the meeting.
With light music, fine wine, soft light and warm tones, it is a holy place for dating, but the price is not very affordable.
At the table closest to the window, Ella Wen and Alexander Jiang sat face to face.
Alexander Jiang was wearing a black haute couture suit, a white shirt with a dark blue tie, and a slicked-back hair. His facial features were delicate and three-dimensional, especially his eyes, which were deep and resolute. His aura was exceptionally powerful.
Ella Wen, on the other hand, wore a simple pair of jeans with a black long windbreaker and a cashmere base sweater underneath. Her scarf and handbag were placed on the other side. Under the soft light, although her outfit was simple, her profile was delicate and beautiful, and her eyes were always looking out the window.
Now, he looked at Ella Wen's message and silently called Alexander Jiang's cell phone. Then, it was Gao Zhu who answered the phone again. Gao Zhu would only hold Alexander Jiang's cell phone when he was in a meeting.
Gao Zhu: "Master, do you want me to go in and talk to Mr. Jiang?"
Mr. Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "No, how long will his meeting last? What is the schedule for today?"
Assistant Gao thought that Mr. Jiang was just asking for routine questions, so he took out the schedule recorded on his iPad and said, "It's about four hours, ending at 1:30 and having lunch. The contract in Xichuan has been signed, and from 2 pm to 8 pm, I have to have lunch and discuss with the people above. There will be another conference call after 8 o'clock. It will last for three hours."
Gao Zhu: "Master?" "Don't worry, I won't do that."
Under the soft light of the petals, Alexander Jiang's facial features were set off to be even more handsome. Ella Wen's eyes trembled, and he retracted his gaze, put the flowers aside, then picked up the knife and fork and slowly cut the steak.
At a seat not far away, Mr. Jiang was slowly cutting a steak in the crowd, chewing it bite by bite, watching every move of Ella Wen and Alexander Jiang.
An hour later, Ella Wen and Alexander Jiang walked out of the restaurant side by side, and then got into Alexander Jiang's extended version of Rolls-Royce.
Although Gao Zhu didn't understand why Mr. Jiang and his wife started to change their personalities and go out on a date after a phone call, he still had some understanding. Since Mr. Jiang and his wife were planning to start contact, he had to give them some space to be alone.
The handsome men and beautiful women were already eye-catching, and people in the restaurant frequently turned back to look at them.
Including the waiter who served the dishes, he put the steak, foie gras, caviar and other ingredients that had just been ordered on the table. While restraining his gaze, he still couldn't help but look at her a few more times, thinking, it turns out that handsome guys can also make their girlfriends angry.
After the waiter left, Alexander Jiang picked up his knife and fork, cut a piece of steak and put it on Ella Wen's plate, and chuckled, "Are you still angry?"
"Can't I be angry?" Ella Wen finally turned around and looked back at Alexander Jiang, complaining: "You promised me that you would pick me up at the airport, but I asked my colleagues to leave first and waited for you at the airport for a whole afternoon. In the end, you told me that you were busy in a meeting and forgot about it."
"Feel sorry."
Gao Zhu immediately raised the baffle.
The moment the baffle was tightly closed, Ella Wen's tense mood that had lasted the entire night finally relaxed. She turned her head to look at Alexander Jiang and said, "How was my acting? Was it okay?"
Let’s go back to this morning.
It was already 1:30 pm when Alexander Jiang finished the meeting. Gao Zhu told Alexander Jiang the news that Mr. Jiang had called. After hearing what Gao Zhu said, Alexander Jiang frowned, but he didn't think much about it. He thought that something happened in Gangcheng, so he picked up his phone and called Mr. Jiang back.
There was a hint of apology in Alexander Jiang's deep eyes. He raised his hand and called the waiter who had been waiting in the dark.
The next second, a waiter in a white shirt came forward holding a bouquet of roses.
When the waiter handed the flowers to Ella Wen, she was obviously a little surprised. She covered her thin lips with her slender fingertips, then looked at Alexander Jiang and said, "What is this...?"
"Forgive me for this first offense, it won't happen again."
Alexander Jiang spoke very sincerely. Ella Wen pursed her lips and took the flowers under the waiter's gaze. Then she snorted softly and said shyly, "If you do it again next time, I will tell Grandpa and I won't say good things for you anymore."
