Chapter 72: Xiong Jing (Revised) Two men, two bouquets of flowers...
Jiang Zong also secretly swore in his heart: He would let her know that those gaps were nothing.
Suddenly, Jiang Zongye's mind flashed with the conversation he had with his father Jiang Sheng on the day he returned to Beicheng.
Jiang Sheng advised him as a person who had experienced it:
"A Zong, don't let yourself be so blinded by a girl. In this world, it doesn't matter who you marry. If you marry Chen Luyao, think about what she can bring to you. At least a quarter of the Chen family's wealth can be yours to use as you wish."
Didn't Jiang Zong understand what Jiang Sheng said?
But he also knew that if he used Chen's resources, he would be restrained by Chen, and he did not like being restrained in any way.
What's more, he has the confidence that he doesn't need to rely on women, and his career will flourish and reach new heights.
So, he looked back at his father firmly and said solemnly, "I understand your feelings, but compared to that, I would rather marry the woman I love. I would rather my feelings be purer."
"So what if she can't help me with money and resources? I don't need them."
"You put me in Taehyung back then, but you didn't give me any help. Now, I've come this far."
Not only did he make it through, he also walked very well and steadily.
Under his leadership, Taehyung has completely transformed into a giant in the automotive industry, and the vehicles produced by Taehyung have completely gotten rid of the label of "low-end".
...
Jiang Zong was silent for a while.
Qiao Ruoying pressed her slender back against the glass of the greenhouse, raised her eyelashes, and looked at him. She only saw his beautiful peach blossom eyes, churning with emotions she didn't understand.
She didn't know to what extent Jiang Zongye would give up for her.
And Jiang Zongye didn't need her to know.
He wanted to leave the purest corner of his heart and the purest feelings to her.
His big hand was still pressing on her shoulder, through a layer of down jacket.
If the man's fingers moved a little higher, he could reach her porcelain-white face. Her beautiful chin was pointed, and he could hold it in one hand, gently caressing it and feeling the delicate texture of her skin.
But he held back. Now, the most important thing to do is to restrain himself, to restrain himself, and not to arouse her disgust.
"Mr. Jiang," Qiao Ruoying suddenly spoke, her voice as soft as ever, yet revealing a tenacity like cattail grass:
"What if I say I don't want to be in a relationship anytime soon?"
When she called him "Mr. Jiang" at this time, she also had a testing meaning.
What if she didn't want to be in a relationship, she wondered?
If Jiang Zong has been pursuing her but cannot get any positive feedback from her, will he become angry and use the superior-subordinate relationship to pressure her?
Jiang Zong also understood her concerns.
He wanted her to cast aside those superficial identities. He didn't want Qiao Ruoying to please him like a subordinate would please a superior, and he didn't want her to hide and control her emotions in front of him. He wanted the real her.
He wanted her to express her emotions freely in front of him.
"Yingying," he lowered his eyes and saw a strand of her soft chestnut hair gently falling on her fair cheek. He couldn't help but gently hook it with his hand, letting the strand of hair linger between his fingers.
"From now on, outside of the company, you don't have to treat me as your boss, nor as your superior, okay?"
"Then what do they take you for?" She said sullenly. Actually, she knew what he was up to, but she was too lazy to respond to him and wanted him to say it himself.
"Consider me your suitor."
"This time, we'll take it slow."
When Qiao Ruoying heard his firm tone, she felt extremely embarrassed and angry.
Why does this person, with this tone, sound as if he is saying that he will definitely catch up with her?
Humph, they are still thick-skinned, thick enough to be used to build the Great Wall, which was used in ancient feudal dynasties to resist the invasion of the northern barbarians.
Faintly, she could smell his scent, still the familiar amber note, with a hint of forbearance amidst his bestial ferocity.
His hormonal scent made her face blush and the tips of her ears red.
"Who wants to take it slow with you?" she replied angrily.
"You." Jiang Zongye's eyes caught her red ears, and there was a hint of joy in his voice as he responded lightly.
Qiao Ruoying glared at him and punched him on the shoulder. He didn't stop her, so she trotted away.
Jiang Zongye turned his arm and touched the place on his shoulder where she had hit him. When her fist hit him, his heart also fluttered.
Qiao Ruoying turned and ran away.
What do you call this? Jiang Zongye dragged me to the glass greenhouse, but half the company was watching.
Even though the team-building activity still had half a day to go, she wanted to take the bus home on her own. After all, if she went back to the barbecue pavilion now, her colleagues would just pull her over and yell at her, "What the hell is going on?"
However, the Yunjing Qiuyuan Scenic Area is far away from the city center. Where can she find a car to take her back?
At this moment, the phone happened to ring, and Jiang Zong also sent a message:
"If you don't want to play anymore, ask Lao Chen to take you home. He also drove here today."
“…”
Although she was very reluctant, she still followed Jiang Zongye's advice and sent a message to Old Chen, asking Uncle Chen to pick her up.
-
On this side, Qiao Ruoying sent a message to Lily, informing her that she would go home early; while at the barbecue pavilion, the employees were about to explode.
Qiao Ruoying from the administrative department and the big boss Jiang Zong also had a relationship!
Not only that, the two broke up, and it was Qiao Ruoying who took the initiative to dump Jiang Zongye.
Jiang Zong also couldn't let her go, and now he even went to team-building activities to pursue his wife.
The informal group chats of all major departments were in an uproar.
"I knocked. I heard from the administration department that they were playing 'I have it, you don't have it.' The information they revealed was shocking. The big boss used three condoms in one night. If this isn't physical attraction, what is it?"
"Oh my god, I can't even imagine it. Queenie has had dark circles under her eyes for a while. Could it be that the big boss doesn't let her sleep at night? Snicker/snicker."
"I was just wondering why the rehearsals for the Administration and Design departments haven't been going smoothly. It turns out it's because Boss Jiang doesn't want to see the girl he loves dancing hand in hand with another boy. Snicker/snicker/snicker."
"I envy Qiao Ruoying so much. The big boss is so powerful and capable at work, yet he only loves her and is so devoted and infatuated with her. I'm so envious."
"That's right, Boss Jiang is still a love-struck person."
"It's reasonable to suspect that Boss Jiang was just afraid someone would take advantage of Queenie's insomnia and pursue her relentlessly, so he hurriedly revealed his ex-boyfriend status."
"Exactly, Boss Jiang is determined to get them back together, right?"
Only Zeng Fan refused to believe that Qiao Ruoying's "boyfriend" who had not yet been made public was actually the president Jiang Zongye.
She stubbornly insisted on her opinion: "But I clearly saw Qiao Ruoying being very intimate with another old man in the city center. Her boyfriend must be that guy."
Someone in the know immediately jumped out to refute: "Zelda, the man you're talking about is the driver that President Jiang assigned to Qiao Ruoying, right? I remember there was a middle-aged man like this in his driver team."
In addition, Zeng Fan watched Jiang Zong pick up Qiao Ruoyin. No one would believe that there was no connection between the two.
Now, Zeng Fan was completely speechless.
Although Qiao Ruoying did nothing, Zeng Fan felt as if she had slapped him hard in the face, and his face felt slightly hot.
If Lily was dumped by the man and was the disadvantaged one in the relationship, then during this barbecue team-building event, everyone could see clearly that Qiao Ruoying was the "superior" in the relationship.
It was she who dumped Jiang Zongye, and it was Jiang Zongye who couldn't leave her.
Many things were also connected at this moment: for example, the big man who was exposed twice for taking his girlfriend to the Henggu Wanxiang counter to shop was actually Jiang Zongye.
Jiang Zong also wanted to take out a lot of money and spend it on Qiao Ruoying.
At this moment, Zeng Fan finally had to admit that she was defeated.
Qiao Ruoying was completely unaware of Zeng Fan's little thoughts.
Qiao Ruoying has a simple mind and spends all her time thinking about how to live a good life. She never thinks about comparing herself with others.
In her opinion, whether it is her, Du Xinrong, Zeng Fan, or all the girls around her, each has their own characteristics, advantages and strengths, as well as shortcomings.
Girls are like flowers in the garden. Roses have their own rich fragrance, camellias have their own cool purity, and jasmine has its own fragrance.
All she has to do is try her best to make her little flower bloom well.
-
For Wang Zhi, this weekend, there was good news and bad news. The bad news was that Qiao Ruoying's ex-boyfriend turned out to be the group's president, Jiang Zongye; the good news was that Qiao Ruoying was now single.
As a second-generation wealthy man from a glass factory, Wang Zhi wasn't particularly afraid of the pressure from Jiang Zongye, the company's head. So even though Jiang Zong openly declared, "I'm pursuing Qiao Ruoying," and thus dissuaded a large number of her eager suitors, it didn't dissuade Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi has a wealthy second-generation family background as a protector.
After all, if Taehyung couldn't continue working, he would just go home and live off his parents, and his parents wouldn't let him.
What made him more depressed was that compared to Jiang Zongye, he was weaker and had difficulty lifting a 10kg barbell; his physical fitness was poor, his work ability was poor, and he lacked masculinity.
Will Xiao Qiao...look down on him?
Wang Zhi touched his face in frustration.
It is said that "how can a woman who has been protected by a lion fall in love with a wild dog?" Even Wang Zhi himself agrees with this.
However, if the wild dog hesitates, it will be defeated.
The successful dance collaboration with Qiao Ruoying gave Wang Zhi some confidence and motivation.
So, on Monday morning, he got up early and went to the flower shop to pick up the flowers he had ordered in advance.
He originally wanted to give her red roses, but was afraid that giving her red roses right away would make it too obvious, so after much hesitation, he finally chose a bouquet of sunset orange roses.
The reason for this color is because street dance rehearsals always take place in the afternoon at sunset. The setting sun shines through the French windows, a molten gold color, with deep and light orange coating the waxed wooden floor. He holds her slender white hand...
Wang Zhi, holding the bouquet of sunset orange roses, drove his Lexus LS to the group with great anticipation. He then quietly placed it on Qiao Ruoying's desk when there were not many people in the administrative office.
He was looking forward to seeing what Qiao Ruoying would think when she saw this bouquet of flowers.
If Qiao Ruoying came over and asked him "Why did you give me roses", how would he answer?
Should I tell her honestly, "I've liked you for a long time"?
Wang Zhi walked out of the administrative office with a feeling of nervousness and anticipation.
As soon as he walked out of the office, Jiang Zong also squeezed into the door of the administrative office with a bouquet of flowers.
Jiang Zong also always remembered what Qiao Ruoying complained about on the day of their breakup: "You never gave me flowers." Whenever he thought of this, Jiang Zong felt very regretful.
He thought he wasn't a man who lacked a sense of ceremony, so how could he have made such a huge mistake with flowers? He had given her jewelry and diamonds, Hermès bags and scarves, and even a practical toaster, so why had he forgotten to give her flowers?
Obviously...a bouquet of flowers is worth a thousand words in a girl's heart.
I have to make up for it.
He has made up his mind to send her a bouquet of flowers every day starting from this Monday.
It was already past eight o'clock on Monday morning when Jiang Zongye came to the corridor of the administrative department with flowers. At this time, employees came to the company to punch in one after another.
The employees rubbed their sleepy eyes as they saw a man in a wide corridor, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, clutching a large bouquet of beautiful Floyd roses wrapped in black cellophane. The roses were full-bodied, their colors flowing, and their velvety texture exuded an air of luxury, both bold and passionate, bright and rich, and dazzling.
What's more, the man holding the flowers was as handsome as a god.
At his neck, the dark red bow tie is full and matches the color of the pattern, making his neck look more upright.
He has never forgotten the day when he stayed at the Bulgari Hotel with Qiao Ruoying. The girl who slowly stood up from the swimming pool had a graceful figure and fair skin. She was wrapped in a rose-red bikini, like the goddess of Luo River emerging from the water, stunningly beautiful.
She really can carry off the warm and rich rose red color.
She is also naturally suited to a rose as gorgeous as Freud.
So the first bouquet of flowers he wanted to give her was Floyd roses.
Yingying will definitely be very happy to receive such a bouquet of flowers.
Little did he know that when he squeezed into her office door with flowers in his hands, he would see a bunch of round, plump sunset orange roses blooming in full bloom on Qiao Ruoying's desk.
-----------------------
Author's Note: Edit: Thanks to reader Baobao for the suggestion, I've changed the flowers that Jiang Ge gave Yingying to Floyd roses! This color and this bouquet of flowers have a special meaning to them.
Brother Jiang: Which brat is so blind? [rolling eyes][rolling eyes] Yingying, you must like my bouquet and not his, right?
Xiaoying: ...refuses to answer.
Jiang Ge: If you don’t answer me, I’ll assume you like this one better. [Spreading hands]
