Chapter 219 Harboring Malicious Intent

Before leaving get off work, Jiang Shiyuan received an invitation from Secretary Zhang.

She didn't say anything and gladly accepted the invitation.

After the door closed, Secretary Zhang looked at the door panel with a disdainful sneer:

"You ignorant brat, just wait and see how you embarrass yourself!"

Inside the office, Yin Meng looked at the invitation in Jiang Shiyuan's hand and couldn't stop smiling:

"Mr. Jiang, this technology conference is quite prestigious; it's attended by all sorts of big names! You might even find a very capable partner there!"

"Yes, I know about this conference. My mother used to go every year."

Mentioning her mother, Jiang Shiyuan's throat tightened, then she smiled faintly, "Later, my uncle took over the company, and he became the one who went there."

Yin Meng asked the crucial question, "Chairman Jiang is so eager to show off, why would he give you the chance to shine this time? Could he be harboring malicious intentions?!"

Jiang Shiyuan looked at her serious little face with a smile, "Secretary Yin, your intuition is very sharp. There really aren't that many good things in this world."

Yin Meng was surprised, "Really?!"

"There's nothing particularly deep or unfathomable about the conspiracy. My uncle is all lust and bloated. If he weren't adorned with Secretary Zhang's dog-headed nonsense, he wouldn't be able to come up with any complicated schemes."

Jiang Shiyuan remained calm and composed. "I guess he thought I didn't understand the technology and didn't have a high level of education, so I would only embarrass myself if I went there. That's why he gave me the opportunity."

Enraged, Yin Meng blurted out, "Old Deng! You're so insidious!"

After saying that, she hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands, widened her eyes, and made a very cute little expression.

"Haha, don't be nervous, I think you're right. Jiang Yongxiao is not only an old Deng, but also an old dog Deng."

Jiang Shiyuan was amused by her reaction. Her heart, which had been dormant for too long, was full of anticipation for the technology conference. "I have never attended such an occasion before, and I am quite looking forward to it."

If you're free after work, let's grab some dinner together, and then go pick out some clothes with me.

...

After dinner, Jiang Shiyuan and Yin Meng arrived at the entrance of a well-known high-end boutique.

"Wow! This place is so expensive! I saw it on Douyin (TikTok), some of the clothes are even seven figures!"

Yin Meng hid behind Jiang Shiyuan, hesitant to approach, "President Jiang, you're going to have to bleed a lot this time!"

"There are also options costing tens of thousands of yuan, but there's no need to spend too much."

Jiang Shiyuan laughed helplessly, "If it weren't for attending the event, I would never have bought such expensive clothes. I don't even dare to eat spicy hot pot or rice noodles when I go out. In the end, the clothes are practically wearing me."

My status is different now; when I go out, I represent [the government/organization].

Yin Meng stared in surprise with her dark eyes, "President Jiang, you're a tycoon's wife! Although President Xie is a... cough cough, he can't possibly skimp on your food, clothing, housing, and transportation, can he?"

The bitter days spent in the Xie family were like a speck of dust, floating in the air with a gentle breeze, squinting Jiang Shiyuan's eyes.

Xie Jinghuai certainly never shortchanged her in terms of expenses.

He gave her his supplementary black card to use as she pleased, but for five whole years, she never used it even once.

If they were an upright married couple, she could spend her husband's money without feeling guilty. But they weren't.

Xie Jinghuai had no love for her and refused to take her out to meet others. In this abnormal marital relationship, if she continued to spend his money, she would feel that her dignity had been lost and that it was very much like long-term prostitution.

Just as Jiang Shiyuan was lost in thought, Yin Meng suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" and tugged at her arm:

"Mr. Jiang, look across the street! Isn't that Mr. Xie's car?!"

Jiang Shiyuan was slightly taken aback, then looked across the street.

Sure enough, a gleaming black Rolls-Royce was parked under the streetlight. Even with its headlights off, it still exuded an air of extraordinary luxury and arrogance.

Jiang Shiyuan's pupils contracted, and his gaze instantly turned deep and dark.

It is Xie Jinghuai's car.

Why would his car be in front of this boutique at this hour? It's women's clothing...

The next second, Jiang Shiyuan realized something, pursed her lips, and said to Yin Meng:

"Mengmeng, wait for me outside. I'll go in by myself and come out soon."

Yin Meng was unaware of the reason, but she still obediently agreed.

Jiang Shiyuan, with a calm expression, pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as she entered, she heard a string of praises from the waiters:

"Oh my! Miss Lin, your waist is so thin! Is this the legendary A4 waist? I've never seen such a thin waist in my life!"

"That's right! And Miss Lin, you look so elegant in white, even more radiant than a celebrity!"

"Ms. Lin, you are even more beautiful in person than on TV! It's such an honor to meet you!"

At this moment, Lin Zhixin stood in front of the full-length mirror trying on a gorgeous dress, a proud and smug smile on her face.

Hearing the door open, everyone looked over—

Lin Zhixin was still admiring herself in the mirror, completely unaware of Jiang Shiyuan standing at the door.
