Chapter 16 President Jin is truly a great philanthropist

Jiang Xingyao had already blocked Jin Qingyu.

Needless to say, he added her back yesterday while she was taking a shower.

Jiang Xingyao immediately silenced her phone and put it away.

The concert began soon after.

Listening to the soothing piano music, Jiang Xingyao couldn't remember the last time she had been to such an occasion.

So much time has passed that she's almost in a daze.

When the concert ended, Xu Feifei was still a little reluctant to leave: "Ms. Shen truly deserves to be called a rare genius in the piano world in recent years. I have been playing the piano since I was a child, but compared to her level, I am still far behind."

Shen Ying is not old, not even thirty, and her achievements truly place her at the top of the field.

Jiang Xingyao lowered her head. If the Qu family hadn't met with an accident, if she hadn't given up the piano, would she be shining brightly in her beloved field now?

Like Shen Ying.

Xu Feifei muttered a lot to herself.

Then she turned to look at Jiang Xingyao: "Yaoyao, Yinyin said you've been playing the piano since you were little, but I've never seen you in a piano competition."

By the way, there's a piano competition coming up in Beijing soon. It's organized by the heir of the Shen Group who just returned from abroad. I heard the first prize is five million yuan, and the winner can get a direct job at one of the Shen Group's entertainment companies.

That's not the point. The most important thing is that Shen Ying is a member of the Shen family. She might be a judge in this competition. Even if we don't win any prizes, it would be beneficial to have her give us some pointers. What do you say? Should I send you a copy of the registration form, and we can go together?"

Xu Feifei is a huge fan of Shen Ying. Her eyes light up whenever Shen Ying is mentioned.

"Me?" Jiang Xingyao hesitated.

She hadn't touched a piano in a long time.

“Yeah, let’s go together. Rankings don’t matter. Just go through the motions. Who knows, we might get lucky and meet Shen Ying?” Xu Feifei said again.

Jiang Xingyao was indeed tempted.

It wasn't because of Shen Ying, but because she needed a job.

The previous interviews didn't lead to anything. The financial circle is only so big, and Jiang Cancan is doing very well thanks to Jin Qingyu. It would be incredibly easy for them to trip her up.

She really should look for other options.

Jiang Xingyao was interested in both the job opportunity at Shen's Entertainment and the five million yuan bonus.

She asked Xu Feifei for a registration form.

The two of them came out of the clubhouse and found that it was raining heavily again.

It was a sunny day when I arrived, this heavy rain came too suddenly.

The raindrops pattered and pounded on the ground like beans being poured out.

There was a long line of people blocking the entrance to the clubhouse, and it was rush hour, so it was impossible to even hail a taxi.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Xingyao decided to call Jin Qingyu.

When the phone finally rang, all that remained for her was the busy tone of an automatic disconnection.

No one answered the phone.

Jiang Xingyao then called Assistant Xu.

This time the call was answered, but Assistant Xu's voice was clearly a little anxious: "Madam, are you looking for President Jin? Something happened at the company, and President Jin is busy. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while."

"It's raining, could you..."

"Madam, Mr. Jin is calling me. I'll have to go now. I'll remind him to call you back when he's done with his work."

Jiang Xingyao hadn't really expected Jin Qingyu to come and pick her up.

She just wanted to ask if they could send her a car since it was raining.

Even Jin Qingyu's special assistant was unwilling to let this so-called wife finish speaking.

Even though this result was not unexpected for Jiang Xingyao.

Jiang Xingyao felt a pang of sadness in her heart at that moment.

Xu Feifei flagged down a car and called out to her, "Yaoyao, I've got a taxi. Are you still staying at Yinyin's place? I'll have the driver take you there first."

Jiang Xingyao wanted to go to Ji Yunyin's place; she didn't want to go back to Xiyuan.

But she couldn't do that.

We can't let that bastard Jin Qingyu go crazy at Yin Yin's place.

Jiang Xingyao hesitated for a moment, but still gave the address of Xiyuan.

When Jiang Xingyao arrived home, Jin Qingyu was indeed not there.

She didn't find it strange at all.

After quickly changing her clothes, she filled out the registration form that Xu Feifei had given her and sent it out.

She was about to go downstairs to get something to eat when she received a call from Ji Yunyin: "Yaoyao, my darling, do you know who I saw at the hospital? That scumbag Jin Qingyu, he came carrying Jiang Cancan."

Jiang Xingyao's already bad mood worsened.

Ji Yunyin also sent over a photo.

Just as she said, Jin Qingyu carried Jiang Cancan into the elevator. The woman leaned against him, her skirt drooping down like a delicate dodder flower.

Jiang Xingyao was all too familiar with this scene.

Last time at the Jin Group building, Jin Qingyu carried Jiang Cancan away in the same way.

They say the company is busy, and it really is busy; they're even busy at the hospital.

Jiang Xingyao remained silent, while Ji Yunyin continued indignantly, "You didn't see how nervous he was just now; he was practically suffering for Jiang Cancan."

If he cares so much, why is he clinging to you like this? Isn't he pathetic?

This is also the question Jiang Xingyao wanted to ask.

After cursing for a while, Ji Yunyin said, "Yaoyao, why don't you move back? Don't get involved with that scoundrel."

Jiang Xingyao also wanted to leave, but she really didn't want to trouble Ji Yunyin anymore.

She gave a few perfunctory words and then hung up the phone.

By the time Jin Qingyu returned, it was already late at night.

Jiang Xingyao was awakened by the sound of him entering the room.

He seemed to still smell strongly of disinfectant from the hospital.

Jiang Xingyao, who was drowsy from the choking, suddenly woke up.

By the dim light of the bedside lamp, Jiang Xingyao glanced at him: "Did Jiang Cancan break her leg or her arm today?"

"You were following me?" Jin Qingyu turned on the light, and the dim bedroom suddenly became bright. Jiang Xingyao did not miss the fleeting impatience in his eyes.

Jiang Xingyao said, "Do we still need to follow them? President Jin was carrying Jiang Cancan and rushing to the hospital. Anyone with eyes could see that."

Jin Qingyu said, "It's not what you think. Secretary Jiang fell that day and suffered some aftereffects, a mild concussion, so I..."

Jiang Xingyao's lips froze.

She said, "Does Mr. Jin mean that Jiang Cancan's discomfort today is my fault, and that you taking her to the hospital is to apologize on my behalf? Is that what you mean?"

"No, I didn't..."

“I really don’t know if President Jin is truly confused or pretending. It’s been about a week since Jiang Cancan fell, and her concussion was quite severe. How could she have remained oblivious for so long?” Jiang Xingyao said.

Jin Qingyu suddenly fell silent.

I don't know if she was speechless because of Jiang Xingyao's words, or something else.

Time passed slowly, and Jiang Xingyao thought he wouldn't speak anymore, but she heard him say in a very soft voice, "Yaoyao, I'm sorry."

Jiang Xingyao turned over without making a sound, but a tear still involuntarily fell from the corner of her eye.

If Ji Yunyin hadn't seen him.

If he didn't come back smelling like disinfectant.

She might actually believe that he was busy with company matters today.

But lies are always like that, like a thin sheet of paper that can't withstand scrutiny.

Jiang Xingyao endured it for a long time, but finally couldn't hold back any longer. She said, "President Jin is really the best boss in the world. He keeps a sickly person who can't lift a finger in a key position in the company, and we still have to willingly clean up his messes. Anyone who knows this would praise our President Jin as a great philanthropist."

Jin Qingyu had always known that Jiang Xingyao was a woman who spoke unpleasantly.

But now, he frowned again because of Jiang Xingyao's words.

He didn't argue with Jiang Xingyao. After a quick wash, he went to bed and pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Xingyao, who was half a year old and half awake, heard him say in a deep voice, "I didn't pick you up today because there was a problem with a contract at the company."

I've rebooked the restaurant and bought flowers. I'll spend the whole day with you tomorrow, okay?

Jiang Xingyao pretended not to hear him.

When Jiang Xingyao woke up in the morning, she could vaguely hear a man talking on the phone.

Not long after, Jin Qingyu returned, grabbed his coat, and hurriedly left.

Jiang Xingyao pretended to be asleep with her eyes closed, but she could feel that the other person paused for a moment when opening the door, and then seemed to let out a heavy sigh of relief.

Why did he breathe a sigh of relief?

Jiang Xingyao thought that he probably thought she hadn't heard the promise she made last night.

After all, his departure today wouldn't be considered another broken promise.

At noon, Assistant Xu made an unprecedented visit to Xiyuan, bringing with him a bouquet of bright red roses.

He said, "Madam, Mr. Jin asked me to send this. He said it was a promise he made to you."

Assistant Xu held the flowers and waited for Jiang Xingyao to come and receive them.

But Jiang Xingyao merely lifted her eyelids and said, "Take it back."

“Madam, there’s been a problem with the contract between the company and Yunpu Group. Mr. Jin is really busy today, so please don’t be stubborn at this time. Please accept the flowers,” Assistant Xu said.

Jiang Xingyao knew that Yunpu Group, mentioned by Assistant Xu, was a well-known multinational corporation.

When my maternal grandfather was still alive, the Qu family had already collaborated with them.

However, after the company was taken over by Jiang Yuncheng, the other party looked down on Jiang Yuncheng and did not renew the contract.

Later, most of their collaborations in the country went to the Jin family.

Jiang Xingyao still remembers that the person in charge of Yunpu Group was notoriously strict and demanding.

Nevertheless, companies were scrambling to cooperate with them, and Jin Qingyu shouldn't have messed up in something like this.

Jiang Xingyao thought for a moment and suddenly realized the key point. She said, "Jiang Cancan messed up the contract, and your CEO Jin is cleaning up his mess again?"

“Secretary Jiang meant well,” Assistant Xu said.

"Really? So, the Jin family can make mistakes over and over again just by using good intentions as a pretext?" Jiang Xingyao asked.

Assistant Xu paused for a moment, then said, "Madam, Secretary Jiang is suffering from a concussion and is mentally disoriented, which is why..."

Even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't understand. You'd better just accept the flowers.

This time, Jiang Xingyao actually accepted the flowers. In front of Assistant Xu, she threw the flowers into the trash can and commented, "You and your CEO Jin are both idiots."

They're so stupid they have no common sense; they actually think concussions have a one-week incubation period.
