Chapter 522 A Refined Young Lady from the Republican Era Gets the Male and Female Protagonists Killed (24)

The two people walking behind Zhang Jisheng were talking in hushed tones.

These two men were both close associates of the caravan leader, and should have been very familiar with the goods they were transporting. However, judging from their words, they clearly did not know that this shipment was a batch of counterfeit goods.

"Captain, you don't know either?"

The caravan captain shook his head.

"How could such an important matter be known to so many people?"

Apart from the chairman and Boss Jin, everyone else was unaware of this operation.

When Zhang Jisheng heard the words "Boss Jin," his brows furrowed involuntarily.

How could a young woman confined to her chambers go out into the world to do business?

How come he was completely unaware of these things before?

The people behind him were still talking.

"Boss Jin is truly a heroine. If it weren't for her advance planning, we might have been completely wiped out today!"

"If she weren't a heroine, would she be qualified to ride in Chairman Jiang's car? Aren't all the people around Chairman Jiang big shots in BH City?"

Furthermore, I've also heard that Boss Jin is still unmarried, and Chairman Jiang seems to have feelings for her..."

"Shut up!"

The chamber of commerce captain sternly stopped his men from continuing their inappropriate gossip about their boss.

"If these things get to Chairman Jiang's ears, even the Heavenly King himself couldn't protect you!"

Upon hearing this, the other person immediately shut up and lowered their head, not daring to say another word.

At this moment, Zhang Jisheng did not hear what he wanted to hear, and walked side by side with the captain of the Chamber of Commerce.

"I heard that the North Tower Chamber of Commerce doesn't want female bosses, right? There was a precedent before, they hired a female boss who ran a restaurant, but it turned out that the woman was just the mistress of one of the vice presidents of the Chamber of Commerce."

Why is the guild leader now actively recruiting a woman to join the guild?

Women have never been suited for business.

Men rely on their own abilities to make a name for themselves when they go out into the world, but women rely on men.

Which capable woman isn't surrounded by all sorts of scandalous gossip?

Who would dare to want or marry a woman like that? If they did, they'd be wearing a huge green hat on their heads!

Thinking about it this way, Zhang Jisheng felt much better.

The chamber of commerce captain glanced at him.

"Major General Zhang is overthinking it. Our president is not the kind of person who covets power and sex."

The reason for choosing Boss Jin is that, among the two major port cities of BH City and Su City, only Boss Jin's Embroidery Workshop can deliver goods that satisfy the chairman within the stipulated time.

In my opinion, although Boss Jin is a woman, her abilities and courage are in no way inferior to those of men.

This is the kind of person our president admires most.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jisheng's previously calmed heart was stirred up once again.

"It's normal for you to have some misunderstandings because you don't know our president or Mr. Kim."

We'll have more opportunities to spend time together in the future.

Don't know?

Zhang Jisheng chuckled to himself.

He and Jin Shu had been married for five years, and in the end, he had to hear the words "I don't understand" from an outsider.

He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although they had been married for five years, he had been fighting outside all those years, never returning home or even sending a single letter back.

If he told others that he and Jin Shu had been married for five years but had only met a handful of times, no one would believe him.

But now this absurd thing has happened to me.

He wanted to "learn" about his ex-wife from an outsider's perspective.

Zhang Jisheng, who rarely reflected on his actions, couldn't help but think about it at this moment.

Was I too cruel to Jin Shu?

Ultimately, she did nothing wrong.

But after she waited five long years for him to come home, he ruthlessly told her he wanted a divorce.

"Major General Zhang? Major General, we have arrived."

Zhang Jisheng suddenly came to his senses and looked up to see the sign of the Beilou Chamber of Commerce.

Located in the very center of BH City, backed by the Huangpu River, the tallest building in the city, the luxurious Chamber of Commerce is built on more than a hundred steps, and next to those steps is an elevator specially set up for the president.

When Jin Shu first came to the North Tower Chamber of Commerce, she climbed the stairs herself.

But this time was different. She stood in the private elevator of Jiangbei Building, looking at the river view outside the elevator, and then watching the people below become smaller and smaller.

"There was a time when I really enjoyed the process of the elevator going up."

As I get older, I find this feeling a bit lonely at the top.

But for you young people, this scene might offer some inspiration.

Jin Shu nodded.

But deep down, my heart was as calm as a deep pool, without any ripples.

Logically speaking, given her age and experience, being able to sit in the only elevator in BH City with a big shot like Jiang Beilou should have made her somewhat excited and thrilled.

But at this moment, she was not excited at all, and she didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.

This kind of scene, which occurs for the first time in one's life, doesn't seem to get people's blood pumping.

Looking down at her didn't excite her at all; it was as if she was already used to this scene.

A strange sense of familiarity.

Jin Shu quickly put that feeling out of her mind; as long as it wasn't anything bad, it was fine.

This calm and composed attitude in the face of adversity is something many people yearn for but cannot attain.

Perhaps Jin Shu's reaction was too bland, making Zhang Jisheng, who was standing next to her, look like a simple-minded country boy farming.

Taking an elevator is a novel experience for many people, and Zhang Jisheng's behavior was quite restrained.

Compared to Jin Shu, she was like a block of wood.

The offices in Jiangbei Building are on the sixteenth floor.

This is quite outstanding and stands out in the entire BH city.

The spacious office features a trendy blend of Chinese and Western styles, complete with leather sofas, wool carpets, crystal chandeliers, and a three-meter-long solid wood desk placed in front of the window.

The entire office, in addition to the work area, also includes a lounge, a restaurant, and a fitness area specifically for the Jiangbei Building residents to relax.

Please sit wherever you like.

As soon as Jin Shu sat down, Jiang Beilou's secretary handed her a cup of tea.

As for Zhang Jisheng, who was supposed to return to the military camp to report for duty, he offered to escort him to the office in order to curry favor with Jiang Beilou.

Although the excuse sounded lame, it was very effective. Jiang Beilou was a respectable person, so he would naturally invite him into his office for a while.

But to Zhang Jisheng's surprise, Jiang Beilou valued Jin Shu much more than he valued him.

After Jin Shu sat down, Jiang Beilou sat directly opposite her.

"Now that this batch of goods has already been shipped out, I'll pay you directly now."

After saying that, Jiang Beilou wrote Jin Shu a check.

Zhang Jisheng couldn't see the exact figures, but he could tell from the speed at which Jiang Beilou wrote that the amount on the check was definitely not small.
