The weather in City B was not as cold as in City A. Ye Zhao wore a denim jacket and a knitted sweater in the morning. She was surprised to find herself feeling a bit hot after getting off the plane. The first thing she did after getting off the plane was to turn off airplane mode and take a picture of the airport for Jiang Che. However, just as she was about to put her phone down, Jiang Che called her.
"Hello?"
"Have you arrived?" Jiang Che's clear voice came from the other end of the phone.
As Ye Zhao walked, she replied, "Yes, I just got off the plane."
Jiang Che asked softly, "Has the driver arrived?"
"Have you arrived yet? I haven't had a chance to contact you."
Jiang Che's tone became slightly amused: "So you messaged me as soon as you got off the plane?"
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You need to report it..."
Jiang Che laughed out loud: "Keep it up. You should contact the driver first. Message me when you get in the car. Be careful."
"good."
Jiang Che waited until Ye Zhao hung up the phone before putting down his own phone, then looked at the person in front of him with a displeased expression.
The man sitting in front of him was fat and pot-bellied, with a smile on his chubby face. Seeing that Jiang Che's expression was not good, he slowly said, "Mr. Jiang, as you know, I don't have many other hobbies, except that I am more interested in women. They just asked me to do them a favor and ask around, that's all."
Jiang Che looked at him with a serious expression, then asked, "When did you and Ye Feng's wife get together?"
The man leaned back in his chair and smiled as he heard this, saying, "Don't be so rude... We're kind of on good terms. I just wanted to ask about the Ye family. Anyway, it's just a small bankrupt company. If you're not interested, you can give it to me."
Jiang Che didn't answer his question, but asked again, "Does she know that Ye Feng is critically ill in the hospital? What about Ye Ling and Ye Qian?"
The man laughed upon hearing this, looking completely indifferent: "How would I know? They're not my children."
Jiang Che frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought, before speaking in a deep voice, "Then let them ask us themselves..."
Perhaps realizing he had displeased Jiang Che, the man's smile faded slightly, and he looked at Jiang Che tentatively, asking, "If I may ask, do you have any connection with Ye Feng?"
Based on his understanding of Jiang Che over the years, this shouldn't be the case. He didn't ask many questions when he brought Ye Ling in, so why does he seem so concerned about Ye Feng this time?
Jiang Che didn't look at him again, but simply replied in a flat tone, "No."
The man smiled and said nothing more. When Mu Xu knocked and came in, he said something to Jiang Che and got up to leave.
Jiang Che looked at his back and suddenly said, "Manager Gao, I have always liked and valued your abilities since you joined the group, but I still advise you not to have a messy private life. Yang Wan can abandon Ye Feng, and she can abandon you too."
To everyone's surprise, Manager Gao simply smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jiang. I know what I'm doing."
Jiang Che frowned at Gao Yang's indifferent expression but didn't say anything more. He knew that Gao Yang's private life had been messy all these years, but seeing his outstanding abilities and how he kept his life and work separate, he had turned a blind eye to his behavior over the years. As long as it wasn't too outrageous, he didn't care. He just didn't expect that Gao Yang would actually get involved with Ye Feng's wife.
His current predicament is how to explain this to Ye Zhao. Although Yang Wan is not her mother, she is still her father's wife. He bears some responsibility for the mess his men made.
Mu Xu didn't know what Jiang Che was thinking, so he stood aside and waited for a while. When Jiang Che came back to his senses, he said, "President Jiang, the people from Shen's Group have arrived."
The project between the Jiang and Shen families was only recently put on the agenda. There was a joint meeting this morning that Jiang Che needed to attend in person. Upon hearing this, he nodded, stood up, and said, "Let's go."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone walked in from outside. Jiang Che looked up and met Shen Du's gaze. Shen Du raised an eyebrow in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chen Du walked straight over, glanced around, and asked in a flat tone, "What? Not welcome?"
Jiang Che smiled and said, "What's there to be unwelcome about? It's just a little strange, it's been so long since you've come."
Mu Xu glanced at Chen Du, then turned around and started brewing tea.
Chen Du glanced at Jiang Che's office, sat down in the chair in front of his desk, and then slowly said, "There are some things about the project that I wanted to discuss with you in person, so I came over."
Jiang Che sat back down and asked with a smile, "What is it?"
Shen Du slowly recounted the events, and as Jiang Che listened, a hint of seriousness appeared in his eyes.
"You mean our project will also involve software aspects?"
The recent collaborative project between Shen's and Jiang's involves the research and development of intelligent home appliances.
Chen Du nodded and said, "What I mean is, to develop some more intelligent work software for work-related matters, so that employees can work more conveniently and efficiently."
Jiang Che said slowly, "That's a good idea, but the Jiang family may lack such high-end talent."
Jiang's furniture and appliance company focuses on research and development of electrical appliances, and there are indeed no specialized talents in software.
Upon hearing this, Chen Du replied, "I'll find the person, but you might have to put in a lot more effort for this project, as I'm really too busy."
The Shen family's businesses are more extensive and larger than the Jiang family's, and they have more things to do, so Shen Du is usually busier than Jiang Che and has limited energy.
Jiang Che nodded and said, "That's no problem."
Just as Mu Xu brought over the tea, someone knocked on the door and said, "President Jiang, the meeting has begun."
Chen Du glanced at him and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look together."
After all, it was a collaborative project between the Shen and Jiang families, so both of them were quite invested in it.
Jiang Che nodded, got up, and followed him out. Just as they reached the door, his phone beeped twice. A smile unconsciously appeared on Jiang Che's face as he turned on his phone.
"Get on the bus."
"Okay, Zhaozhao."
"You're being a bit too cloying..."
“I think it’s perfect, that’s what Aze calls me too.”
"..."
Shen Du said something, but after a while he didn't hear a reply. He turned to look at Jiang Che and saw him looking at his phone with a smile on his face, typing on the screen with one hand. Without thinking, Shen Du realized who he was chatting with.
He turned his head and remained silent, a strange and complex feeling rising in his heart.
Jiang Che was completely unaware of his thoughts and focused on replying to Ye Zhao's messages.
"Remember to think of me."
"Okay, Cheche."
"...You can call out quietly."
"..."
