Inside the box was a beautiful necklace, with diamonds outlining a swan shape and a dazzling blue gem in the middle.
In the next box, there is an exquisite bracelet of the same color.
Before she traveled through the book, Jiang Ningyan loved collecting all kinds of jewelry. It was obvious at a glance that these two items were worth a lot of money.
Even in this era, there will always be one zero after the selling price.
Is this... a gift for her?
Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Jiang Ningyan suddenly heard 006 speak in a very small voice, as if trying to cover up something.
【On Friday, the system will be updated and maintained, and the amount will be automatically deducted. 】
"How much?!"
Jiang Ningyan's breath was choked, and she almost doubted her ears.
006 wanted to report all the accounts quickly while she wasn't paying attention, but he didn't expect that she still heard it.
I made up my mind and pretended to freeze. [Ding, system updating, please try again later...]
Jiang Ningyan was speechless.
But someone in front of her was even more speechless than her.
"Do you care that much about money?"
Lu Bingchuan's brows were furrowed, and his dark eyes stared straight at her.
Jiang Ningyan then realized that she had accidentally questioned the system.
How embarrassing... The other party gave me a gift, and I asked the price directly...
But this is in line with his own "personality".
Jiang Ningyan gritted her teeth and curled her lips nonchalantly, "Of course, money is my favorite thing."
As she said that, she snapped the jewelry box shut and held it out, "I don't want a cheap gift. You should take it back."
Lu Bingchuan's eyes were covered with ice, and his voice was cold, "If you don't want it, throw it away."
Jiang Ningyan quickly withdrew her hand and hugged the box into her arms, "Then... I'll keep it for you reluctantly."
The air was silent for a moment, but the man still stood there, showing no intention of leaving.
Jiang Ningyan thought for a moment and coaxed, "Don't be angry. I'll give you a gift someday, okay?"
Lu Bingchuan didn't respond to her, but just walked a few steps towards her and looked at her with his eyes lowered.
In a serious tone, he said, "I was not polite the day before yesterday and scared you. Please forgive me."
Jiang Ningyan subconsciously tightened her grip on the box in her hand, her heart beating wildly. "It's okay... I don't take it to heart."
The day before yesterday in the group leader's office, she was deliberately being unreasonable. Even if she felt a little aggrieved in the end, it was not Lu Bingchuan's fault.
Lu Bingchuan lowered his head on his own initiative, which made her feel that the system rewards were a bit too hot.
"When you encounter a problem in the future, no matter what you think, don't keep it in your heart. I will respect your opinion and solve it to your satisfaction."
Jiang Ningyan really didn't know what to say. Her eyelashes trembled for a long time and she finally managed an "oh".
As expected of the male lead, his plan is a bit too grand.
Lu Bingchuan's eyes dimmed slightly, and he stared at her for a long time, "Go to bed early."
He could see that Jiang Ningyan was evasive and didn't want to talk to him about this topic at all.
Like a kitten playing without restraint, as soon as she sees you reach out your hand towards her, she will immediately retract her claws timidly.
But it doesn't matter, they still have plenty of time.
The door was closed.
Jiang Ningyan covered her burning face and rolled around on the bed.
She didn't understand what Lu Bingchuan was thinking of her.
She had no idea what she felt towards Lu Bingchuan.
Morality and reason were fighting, and she had no idea how to treat Lu Bingchuan!
In order to divert attention, Jiang Ningyan began to clean up the room.
While tidying up the closet, a stack of papers fell out of the bag and caught her attention.
The handwriting on the paper was crooked, and in the middle was a yellowed black and white photo.
In the photo, Jiang Meng is smiling and standing next to a middle-aged man in military uniform.
This man has a square face with a righteous look, and he looks intimidating without even being angry. Judging from his shoulder straps, his status in the army must be quite high.
Jiang Ningyan remembered that before leaving, Jiang Meng stuffed the stack of papers into her hands and gave her some serious instructions.
He said that six years ago, he had lent fifty yuan to a leader named Zhou. Now the leader's son is in Beijing and is rich and powerful.
Therefore, after Jiang Ningyan arrived in Beijing, he went to the address he had inquired about to find the son of the chief and ask him to arrange a city household registration for Jiang Yaozu and a job in the city.
When Jiang Ningyan heard this, she felt that Jiang Meng had been deceived.
Can a big leader borrow money from a farmer like Jiang Meng?
She didn't take this matter to heart, but now, the address on the paper looks familiar.
Isn't this her destination every day when she goes to work?
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the hidden mission. Please follow this clue to continue the action. The mission reward is 5000 yuan.]
Jiang Ningyan's mouth twitched. "You mean, I should go find this chief's son?"
006 nodded. [Hidden missions can advance the plot. Please actively carry them out.]
The next morning.
Jiang Ningyan went to the department store, picked out a few gifts at random, and carried them to the office.
Chen Meiqin was sharp-eyed and saw it at a glance. She curled the corner of her mouth and snorted in disdain.
Why were you pretending to be so noble a few days ago? Now you are honestly giving her gifts?
Really, he doesn't know how to hide it, and he doesn't understand the ways of the world at all. But the things look pretty good...
She leaned back in her chair, pretended to take a sip of tea, and waited for Jiang Ningyan to bring the things over.
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Ningyan not only didn't come, but sat down in her seat instead.
Chen Meiqi looked so conspicuous no matter how she looked at him, with her head lowered and writing seriously.
She knocked on the table and said, "Xiao Jiang, there are some problems with your manuscript. Take it and revise it."
Jiang Ningyan frowned. It had already been revised three times. There had to be a limit to being difficult.
Chen Meiqin snorted, "I'm not trying to embarrass you. It was Section Chief Xu who called back personally. He only took one look and said no."
Section Chief Xu has always been friendly. Although they have only met a few times, Jiang Ningyan feels that he is not the kind of person who would find fault with anything.
"What do you mean, Chief Xu, is there a problem?"
Chen Meiqin sneered, "How would I know? Go ask yourself."
After saying that, he left the office without looking back.
Of course, Jiang Ningyan would not go to Chief Xu to question him over such a small matter.
She thought for a moment, put the manuscript back on her desk, and then picked up the gift bags.
It's quite early now and there are not many people in these office buildings, which is a perfect time to look for the address.
On the way, Jiang Ningyan felt very uncomfortable.
The first time I gave a gift so blatantly, I felt like I was on the wrong path.
006 encouraged, "Host, don't worry. You're one of the worst villains in this book. You've long since gone down the crooked path and there's no turning back!"
"……Thank you for the compliment."
The address on the paper was of an adjacent building that she had never been to.
It only said the second floor, but didn't specify which room it was.
Fortunately, each office has a doorplate with the position clearly written on it.
Coincidentally, the door number of the first office matched the one on the paper.
