To escape being sold for betrothal gifts, Song Mai chooses to have a flash marriage with a stranger, Chu Xing, on the same day. After getting their marriage certificate, she still doesn't know ...
Have you ever met Master Yun?
Su He arrived earlier than me, so she might have met the legendary Master Yun.
Unexpectedly, she slowly shook her head and said helplessly, "How can I see someone of this status whenever I want? In previous years, not everyone in the company gathered together for the annual meeting. In addition, Master Yun deliberately hides his identity and is extremely busy, so naturally I can't see him."
That's true.
Song Mai silently agreed with what she said and stopped thinking about it.
With so many people in this world, it's inevitable that some will look somewhat alike.
How could Chu Xing and Master Yun possibly have any connection?
With that in mind, Song Mai took the documents and prepared to return to the project site.
Su He followed cautiously behind her and said in a low voice, "Manager Ji is about to leave, but before she left, she was assigned to take charge of a public welfare project, so her departure date has been postponed for another month."
This news surprised Song Mai, but she didn't show much reaction.
"You must seize this opportunity. Manager Ji has always admired you, and he might even give you the position as acting manager." Su He began to imagine what it would be like if Song Mai took charge of the department one day.
Song Mai sighed helplessly: "It's better not to daydream."
Seeing that it was getting late, she and Su He joked around for a while before she turned around and left.
On the way back, I happened to run into Ji Fenghe.
Ji Feng was clearly surprised as well, and subconsciously raised an eyebrow: "Why did you come? Do you still have feelings for this department?"
"There are feelings involved, of course."
Ji Feng's smile grew even brighter, and he couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Is everything going well for you at the project site?"
“There’s nothing too serious about it, and I don’t think the functions of these two departments are that different. They both involve taking on new projects, following up, and resolving issues.” This is what has been puzzling Song Mai lately.
She had already been involved in project contracting in her previous department.
Now that I've moved to another department, I inevitably feel a bit lost.
“Different departments have different responsibilities, but there is only one project. If all aspects of this project are handled by one department, wouldn’t that be a waste of time? To improve efficiency, cross-departmental collaboration is the best approach.”
After saying that, Ji Feng patted her on the shoulder: "Your performance in the project department during this period has been witnessed by everyone. Don't worry about being a latecomer; use your abilities to convince everyone."
Song Mai nodded subconsciously, then couldn't help but ask again, "I heard your resignation period has been extended by another month."
"I didn't expect you to be so interested in my news," Ji Feng said with a half-smile.
Unexpectedly, he would joke like that. Song Mai blushed subconsciously and gently shook her head: "I just heard it by chance."
"I will take over the charity project, and once everything is settled, I will naturally not stay any longer."
Song Mai had to admit that Ji Feng's unique charm and dedication to his work made him seem both mysterious and approachable.
The fact that such contradictory feelings could appear in the same person inevitably made Song Mai a little curious. What kind of person was Master Yun, who was at the very top?
In the corner, Liu Jia'er stared coldly at the photo in her hand, a picture of the moment Ji Feng patted Song Mai on the shoulder. Due to the camera angle, their gazes and conversation appeared quite ambiguous.
If this photo gets out, the two of them will definitely have no way to explain themselves.
With this in mind, Liu Jiaer began to think about how to spread the photos without anyone noticing.
During her time abroad, a neighboring country was hit by floods. She hurriedly told Qin Jizhi about it and rushed back to China.
If I hadn't returned quickly, I would be stuck in a foreign country right now.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously attributed all the things that had happened to her to Song Mai.
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have gone to such a far place to suffer.
Liu Jiaer took a deep breath, and a brilliant plan suddenly popped into her mind.
Rather than letting this photo circulate, we should take some measures to make better use of this hard-won opportunity.
She deliberately dialed the phone with a sobbing voice, and the moment Qin Jizhi heard her voice, his tone softened: "What's wrong with you?"
Liu Jia'er said anxiously, "Auntie, I'm back in China. If I had come half an hour later, you might not have seen me at all."
"Your uncle and I have also learned about the situation there, and we are thinking about how to bring you back. You are a lucky child, and it's good that you've returned safely."
"Auntie, I just arrived in Yunxing hoping to see Brother A-Xing, but I didn't expect to accidentally see Sister-in-law with another man..."
Upon hearing this address, Qin Jizhi frowned on the other end of the phone: "What sister-in-law? Our Chu family doesn't acknowledge this person."
“Auntie, after all, Brother Xing and Song Mai are already married, so naturally they are family with us. I just didn’t expect her to do something like this today, but it could also be a misunderstanding.”
She hesitated for a moment, unable to explain the whole story.
Qin Jizhi asked urgently, "What exactly is it?"
"Auntie, it's hard to explain over the phone. Would it be convenient for me to come to your house now?"
Chu Xing had just finished an international conference when he received a call from his mother.
The company that was in charge of the public welfare project expressed its appreciation for Chuxing and hoped that the two companies could reach a cooperation agreement.
After dealing with company matters, I now have to deal with family matters.
Chu Xing was inevitably a little tired. Every time his mother called him home, it was never a sudden whim.
He first sent a text message to Song Mai, saying that he was going home that night, and then drove to the old house without stopping.
Qin Jizhi and Chu Mingqian were sitting solemnly on the sofa. When they saw him return, they did not exchange any eye contact.
"What's wrong?"
The way they sat so upright filled Chu Xing with a bad feeling.
Turning his head, Chu Xing saw Liu Jia'er looking somewhat guilty, and he vaguely understood what had happened.
Where is Grandpa?
Liu Jia'er answered first, "Grandpa went out for a walk and hasn't come back yet."
"So how did you get back?"
Chu Xing's words left Liu Jia'er speechless, and she could only subconsciously turn to Qin Jizhi for help.
Qin Jizhi slammed down his teacup: "There are floods abroad, are you going to keep Jia'er in that place forever?"
