But the boss wouldn't let them slack off at all. There were all sorts of video conferences and online sales. Even during the days when they were bedridden, they were subjected to the boss's psychological manipulation.
“You still have a job now, a job that I provided for you. You should be grateful. Even when you are lying in bed, as long as you have a breath left, you should keep thinking about your work.”
At that time, Jiang Xue was always driven by money. She never thought she was so pathetic back then. Thinking of this, Jiang Xue completely lost the will to pay attention to Ji Chen.
Instead, he went to his former boss, wanting nothing more than to have him swallow up the rudimentary factory he already owned. That's really going too far.
However, when Ji Chen showed her such concern, Jiang Xue felt a warm feeling instantly fill her heart.
Seeing Jiang Xue blinking blankly at him, Ji Chen was furious. "Did you hear me?"
Jiang Xue was pulled back to reality by Ji Chen's words. "Oh, oh, I heard you. Thank you so much."
Ji Chen frowned, too angry to even look at Jiang Xue. He turned his head away, got on his bicycle, and felt very displeased with Jiang Xue's excessive politeness.
He was even a little confused as to why Jiang Xue's heart was always keeping him at arm's length, and no matter how close he got, it seemed like there was no end in sight.
As they spent more time together, his feelings for Jiang Xue became increasingly complex, with heartache being the most prominent emotion.
"What do you want to eat when you get home tonight?" Ji Chen asked calmly.
Sitting in the back of the car, Jiang Xue felt a slight tremor in her heart. "You can have whatever you want to eat?"
That was a privilege she never dared to hope for, unless she spent money at a restaurant to have whatever she wanted to eat.
"Okay, go ahead." Ji Chen said, frowning slightly as he rode his bike.
I want to eat glutinous rice balls.
Jiang Xue's suggestion was a mistake; it was a difficult task that he couldn't do, but if he remembered correctly, the village store should sell it.
"Can I buy some? The village store should sell them."
Jiang Xue didn't know where she got the courage, but suddenly, as if by magic, she said, "I don't want to eat what I bought."
She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Why was she being so sentimental? If all else failed, she would go back and make some dumplings with glutinous rice flour.
"Okay, then you sit aside and be the strategist. I'll learn how to wrap them. No matter how good or bad they are, you have to eat them."
Ji Chen's straightforwardness surprised Jiang Xue, and at that moment, she felt that Ji Chen's masculine charm had increased even more.
Back home, Ji Chen helped Jiang Xue to a chair. "I'll go pick up the two kids. You sit here and don't do anything."
Jiang Xue nodded obediently.
But as soon as Ji Chen left, Jiang Xue, who couldn't stay idle, got up and started tidying up the clothes drying outside.
Seeing Ji Chen casually toss the two thousand yuan onto the small square table, she thought to herself that if someone came and stole it, all her hard work would be for nothing.
Before she could put it away, the sound of children laughing came from afar.
"Aunt, I heard you were injured." Shao Heng suddenly shook off Ji Chen's hand. If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Xue was limping, he would have loved to rush into Jiang Xue's arms.
"Don't touch your aunt, her legs hurt." Ji Chen seemed casual, but his tone was very serious.
Jiang Xue stepped forward and grabbed Shao Heng's hand, then said to Ji Chen, "Aren't you going to keep that money?"
