Chapter 39 Jiang Xiaomei's Suspicion

Zhao Xiaofei returned to the present day and came directly to the company wearing Hanfu. As soon as he entered the room, everyone in the room was looking at him. There were about twenty people in the room, all looking at him with strange eyes.

He only recognized Guan Xin inside. Guan Xin stood up and said to the people around him, "Let me introduce you to Mr. Zhao Xiaofei, the boss of the company. Welcome everyone!" Guan Xin led the applause. Then everyone applauded!

Zhao Xiaofei was originally a typical loser. He had never seen so many people applauding him before, and his face flushed a little. He said, "Hello everyone! I'm usually away most of the time! You all need to fully cooperate with Mr. Jiang's work. Let's all have lunch together later. It's my treat!"

“Thank you, Mr. Zhao!” “Thank you, Mr. Zhao!” “Thank you, Mr. Zhao!”

"You all should get busy!" Zhao Xiaofei said and went upstairs.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Xiaomei sitting in the office, on the phone. When she saw Zhao Xiaofei come in, Jiang Xiaomei said a few words and hung up the phone. She said, "Where have you been these days? I'm almost busy! Come and take a look. This is the plan that Mr. Qian asked someone to design. Do you think it's feasible?"

"How much is it?" Zhao Xiaofei asked.

"50 million! This building plus the cost of future renovations is a bit expensive!" said Jiang Xiaomei.

"Have you asked other institutions to take a look? We don't understand, so we can ask a professional company to take a look. Don't let old man Qian confuse us later." Zhao Xiaofei said.

"Professor Hong said it's reasonable. It's just that the price is a bit expensive!" said Jiang Xiaomei.

"If it doesn't work, just put it out to tender!" said Zhao Xiaofei.

"Okay then, I'll listen to you!" Jiang Xiaomei said.

"How many of the people downstairs were introduced by Old Man Qian?" asked Zhao Xiaofei.

"You should have seen them when you walked in just now. There are two older people in their forties. The inner two were introduced by Old Man Qian, and the others were found by the human resources department from the university. They all studied archaeology or history!" said Jiang Xiaomei.

"Okay! Let them study hard! Let those two teach well! Those who study well will be given bonuses, and those who study poorly should be eliminated. Also, tell the two who were introduced to old man Qian that if they can bring one out, they will get a bonus. The more people they bring out, the more bonuses they will get!" said Zhao Xiaofei.

"I know! But the company is running out of money, and the funds for buying a house and renovating it are not enough. How much money did you earn? Old man Qian's apprentice, Zheng Wenjuan, told me that you made a lot of money in their company. Hundreds of millions! How much is it? Can you tell me the truth?" Jiang Xiaomei suddenly asked.

"I didn't tell you at the beginning because I was afraid of scaring you. I made 500 million yuan, and now I still have more than 400 million yuan!" Zhao Xiaofei said carefully.

"Are you afraid of scaring me? I used to be an accountant, and I handle a lot of money every day at Bayer Pharmaceuticals. Now that you have money, you're not afraid that I'll take your money, are you?" Jiang Xiaomei asked coldly.

"Do you think I would? If I thought you were after my money, would I give you tens of millions to help me buy a house and start a company?" Zhao Xiaofei said seriously.

"That's not necessarily true! You might be testing me!" Jiang Xiaomei said to Zhao Xiaofei.

"It's pointless to say that! What is there for us to test? We have been childhood sweethearts since we were little. What's wrong? Does money mean we have to be separated from each other?" Zhao Xiaofei felt unhappy.

"Then why didn't you tell me the truth? You know I learned from Zheng Wenjuan that you made so much money, but you only told me that you made only tens of millions. Do you know how I felt? I felt so upset! I am your closest person, but you didn't tell me the truth, and now as long as you say you want to go out, I can't contact you. Where did you go?" Jiang Xiaomei became more and more angry and louder as she spoke.

"Didn't I tell you where I was going? Africa!" Zhao Xiaofei was a little annoyed.

"Okay! Africa, right? Which country? Take out your passport so I can see it!" Jiang Xiaomei questioned Zhao Xiaofei and reached out for his passport.

Zhao Xiaofei was utterly embarrassed. He hadn't thought of the fact that there was a record on the passport when he went abroad! So he hurriedly corrected himself, saying, "I said the wrong thing! It's northern Myanmar! You don't need a passport there, you can go with just your ID card."

"Northern Myanmar? That's a million miles from Africa! Can you tell me the truth? Ah!" Jiang Xiaomei grew increasingly upset, and suddenly slammed the table. She absolutely could not accept her future husband lying to her. The day before yesterday, Old Man Qian brought his female apprentice, the receptionist Zheng Wenjuan, to the company to introduce two talented people. Zheng Wenjuan said, "Your CEO Zhao is really generous. He always buys national treasures. He made a lot of money from us last time."

Jiang Xiaomei didn't think much of it at first, but then Zheng Wenjuan and Jiang Xiaomei went out shopping. Jiang Xiaomei fell in love with the most expensive cosmetics, tried them on but didn't buy them. Zheng Wenjuan said, "Miss Jiang will soon be a wealthy wife with a net worth of hundreds of millions, why are you still reluctant to spend money on cosmetics?"

It was this sentence that made Jiang Xiaomei guess that Zhao Xiaofei had made more than just tens of millions of dollars. She asked casually without any surprise, "These hundreds of millions are not mine. We haven't even gotten married yet, and now I can only rely on the 100 million yuan he gives me every month to get by!"

"Your boss Mr. Zhao is too stingy! He's a billionaire with 500 million yuan, but he only pays you 10,000 yuan a month?" Zheng Wenjuan said.

Jiang Xiaomei's mind raced. She wondered why Zhao Xiaofei wouldn't tell her the truth. Why was he so hard to contact even though he was fine? Could he really be seeing someone else? A slew of questions raced through Jiang Xiaomei's mind, leaving her unable to sleep for the past few days.

When she saw Zhao Xiaofei coming back today and after talking about work, she suddenly questioned Zhao Xiaofei.
