Chapter 77: The chest in the suspender pajamas rises and falls slightly
"Just compensate me with you." Jiang Zongye tugged at his tie with his long fingers and spoke shamelessly.
“…”
Give her to him as compensation? Do you mean let her be his girlfriend?
How shameless! Jiang Zong also said these words one after another without changing his expression. She was about to blush for him.
But Jiang Zong was so good to her, so good to her that she couldn't bear to scold him. She could only snort and whisper:
"You wish."
Jiang Zong also touched his nose with his long finger, smiling without saying anything. As for whether he was just wishful thinking, we would know later.
He added, "This jade carving is insured. Even if it's stolen, the insurance company will compensate you. Just put those weird thoughts in your head aside."
“…”
Qiao Ruoying thought, there is actually special insurance for antiques. It turns out that rich people have many ways to play. They keep spreading the risks on others and will not suffer any losses themselves.
Since she had made up her mind to accept the 100 million jade carving from Jiang Zongye, Qiao Ruoying stopped hesitating and began to appreciate the beauty of the jade carving.
A thought popped into my mind: He could have given her an antique vase or a bonsai, so why did he send her a jade sculpture first?
Could it be because her name “Ying” means “beautiful jade”?
It must be like this.
Noticing this, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously, and the more she looked at the jade carving, the more she liked it, as if she was looking at an existence that had a connection with herself.
"This fish leaping over the dragon gate ornament, can it bring wealth if placed here?" Qiao Ruoying walked around the jade carving curiously.
This is a top-quality piece of Hetian jade, with delicate texture and smooth as fat, without a single impurity mark. It is also a large piece, and when placed on the table, it looks very imposing.
"Yes, it can attract wealth." Jiang Zong also smiled and said, "I will give you another fortune cat, made of pure gold, to attract more wealth."
When Qiao Ruoying heard that the kitten was made of pure gold, her eyes lit up, just like a kitten hearing its owner say that it would give out dried fish tonight.
"It's made of pure gold," she whispered, sighing excitedly. She was just so tacky. Compared to diamonds, she actually preferred the glittering gold. After all, it was hard currency.
Jiang Zong also curled his lips. He felt a little regretful. If he had known she loved gold so much, he should have given her more gold trinkets. However, it wasn't too late to give them to her now.
He looked around her empty office and said, "It's too empty. I'll help you decorate it and make it more upscale."
Li Zheng stood aside, acting as a stenographer.
Jiang Zongye pointed to the empty space in the brown filing cabinet and said calmly, "Replace the door of this empty space with a glass door and put a lucky cat ornament in it. Ask Master Cai from Linlang Gold Shop to make it and pick out a few good cat models."
Pointing to the empty wall, he said, "Buy two more paintings and hang them here. Not landscapes, but something more postmodern. With brighter, more intense colors."
The landscape painting is too old-fashioned and does not match Qiao Ruoying's temperament.
"The lighting needs to be changed, too. The tone is too cold. I need something warmer with adjustable color temperature."
Jiang Zong also walked around her office with his hands behind his back, as if he was inspecting his territory and constantly adding bricks and tiles to it.
Qiao Ruoying listened to him listing his requests one by one. His tone was as calm as water, but in this calm tone, she felt a strong sense of close connection.
For a moment, she was a little dazed.
That villa hidden deep in the Green Heart Park, painted in a warm light cream color, was any of the interior decoration the result of Jiang Zongye's personal attention to detail?
He poured his emotion and energy into everything around her.
The emotions and energy he poured into her became a layer of soft and firm cotton, wrapping her tightly so that she was still comfortable and stable when she landed.
Even Li Zheng, a bystander, could feel Jiang Zong's overflowing emotions for her.
Jiang Zongye's eyes were like radar, slowly scanning Qiao Ruoying's desk and floor-to-ceiling windows.
On the small storage shelf she brought in, there was a hand cream with blurred print on the packaging;
Next to the floor-to-ceiling window, there are small succulent plants in terracotta plastic pots. They haven't been repotted yet. The terracotta color is so tacky and doesn't fit in with this office.
Her spending...maybe it's been downgraded since she left him.
Thinking about how she used to use big brands like Lapairie for her hand cream, but now she uses unknown brands for her hand cream, and how she also buys these decorative plants at the cheapest prices, Jiang Zong felt secretly heartbroken.
I have to win her over faster and can't let her consumption continue to decline like this.
Qiao Ruoying is such a stubborn and stingy girl. She received such a huge year-end bonus, so why is she still so harsh on herself?
It's just like a little Pixiu, it just eats and doesn't spit out.
Jiang Zong also thought with amusement that it was a good thing that he had money and could feed the little Pixiu.
"Is this the new plant you bought?" He half-knelt in front of the French window, his broad back forming an insurmountable ridge, which showed a beautiful shape under his dark red shirt.
"Um."
"It's time to change the pot." Jiang Zongye looked at the terracotta flowerpot and thought to himself, this little Pixiu is really frugal. He instructed Li Zheng, "The plant's pots need to be changed. Replace them with ceramic pots, custom-made by Wedgwood."
"Wait." Qiao Ruoying suddenly spoke.
He looked at her.
Qiao Ruoying pointed to the pots of small succulents at the end and said, "Your office is short of plants. This pot of white peony, flower moon night and chihuahua is for you."
Jiang Zong was also stunned for a moment, staring at her intently, a deep light in his peach blossom eyes, like the moon rising over the sea at night. He didn't expect to receive her response at this moment.
His expression showed no emotion, but the smile on his lips deepened. "Okay, these pots are mine. I'll move out then."
As he said this, he unceremoniously gathered the three pots she had just ordered.
“…”
He was being too rude. Did he succeed again? Did he feel good again?
Qiao Ruoying tried to make amends: "I bought too much, so I gave you a few pots."
Not really. The succulents were so lovely, carefully selected by her, and she had originally intended to keep them all for herself. But his overflowing love also aroused her love, dripping like water droplets from a tree, making her want to share the good things with him.
I think this in my heart, but I can't admit it.
"Yes, Yingying, if you don't buy more, how can it be my turn to give it to me?"
Jiang Zong also replied, but the corners of his lips still had a thick smile.
“…” Qiao Ruoying glared at him.
Good man, you are trying to be sarcastic with her, right?
By the time he had finished arranging the layout of her office, the company had just closed. Qiao Ruoying had nothing to do tonight and could leave work on time.
Jiang Zong also saw her put the canvas bag on her back and said:
"Take my car back."
"No need. I'd better go take the subway." Qiao Ruoying felt that giving him the succulent just now was too intimate, and it was time to keep some distance.
Jiang Zong had expected her to say that. He raised his sharp, dark eyebrows and said calmly, "Manager Qiao, I want to discuss some work matters with you in the car."
"That's all the time I can squeeze in."
Li Zheng was standing at his desk, trying to minimize his presence. When he heard Jason trying to "trick" Miss Qiao again, he wanted to laugh.
Come to think of it, Jason is right.
As the president of such a large group, his daily schedule is very busy and packed with things to do every minute.
From □□ to parts suppliers, to investors, how many people wanted to meet Jiang Zongye but all his free time was reserved for Qiao Ruoying.
“…”
When Qiao Ruoying heard that Jiang Zong also wanted to discuss work matters, she was completely at a loss.
Well, it's her fault for being so unfaithful.
Boss Jiang gave her a promotion and a raise, so she had to work for him obediently.
Qiao Ruoying still followed him and took the elevator to the first floor of the underground garage.
Jiang Zong also opened the car door for her and she lowered her head and got in.
With a bang, the car door closed. Jiang Zong also turned the knob inside the car. Suddenly, light filled the back seat of the car, reflecting the girl's rosy face and bright lychee eyes.
The car's fragrance was still the same citrus-scented one, sweet and lingering. It reminded Qiao Ruoying of the day they broke up, when the same fragrance was in the car, and she felt a little melancholy for a moment.
The two of them got a little close.
Jiang Zong also lowered his head and could see her calves wrapped in milk-coffee colored pantyhose, straight and slender, leaning against each other obediently.
Instantly, the man felt an urge to pull her legs over and hold them between his knees.
"Let me tell you about the situations and personalities of your new colleagues. Once you understand their character, it will be easier to get along with them."
Qiao Ruoying blinked. Was this the "business" Jiang Zong wanted to discuss with her? She had originally thought he had something for her to do.
Jiang Zong also spoke in a deep voice, analyzing the matter with her in detail.
"Ren Song, the group's vice president, values logical analysis when doing things. When handing over work to him, it's best to explain the ins and outs of your ideas to him. Andy from the R&D department values timeliness. When she reports problems with computers or the computer room, someone should be dispatched promptly to address them..."
Qiao Ruoying nodded every time he mentioned someone. After analyzing the personalities of the executives with her, he mentioned her future subordinates.
"Since the head of the administration department has been replaced, the staff must also be replaced. Du Xinrong, Tang Qi, Liu Mei, and others are conscientious and obedient, so they are suitable to continue in the administration department. Although Jack is talkative, he is an active member of your administration department and should also stay to maintain the team atmosphere. These are the new people I added for you, and they are all willing to work hard."
Qiao Ruoying listened around but didn't hear Zeng Fan's name. She couldn't help but ask, "There's a Zeng Fan in the administration department. Where was she transferred to?"
When he heard her mention the name, a cold light flashed across his dark peach blossom eyes, like a sharp sword being unsheathed, the sword reflecting a cold light.
"In a few days, she will submit her resignation to the Human Resources Department."
"She's leaving?"
Qiao Ruoying was surprised.
A while ago, when the year-end bonuses were distributed, she heard Zeng Fan and Rongrong discussing that Taehyung had good benefits and that they should work here for a few more years. How come she heard the news of Zeng Fan's resignation in the blink of an eye?
"Her performance is poor, and she's offended some clients. This has had a negative impact on the group. If the group doesn't lay her off, are they just going to keep her around for free?"
Jiang Zong also spoke calmly.
In fact, in his opinion, allowing Zeng Fan to resign smoothly was already a "leniency" to Zeng Fan for Qiao Ruoying's sake.
Ever since Li Man sent him Zeng Fan's recording via email, he knew that there was such a gossipy and rumor-mongering female employee around Qiao Ruoying, and he became extremely disgusted with Zeng Fan. He wanted to punish her performance and expel her from the company immediately.
If he had not disclosed in time that he was pursuing Qiao Ruoying at Yunting Qiuyuan, wouldn't Zeng Fan's rumor that Qiao Ruoying was "dating a man 20 years older than her and hanging out with a rich man" have been successful?
Once this rumor succeeded, Xiaoying really became a "gold digger" in the eyes of her colleagues. How terrible would her situation be?
Just thinking about it, Jiang Zongye's face turned pale, and the corners of his tightly tightened lips became a little more cold.
He would never let this happen, and would never allow anyone to hurt Qiao Ruoying like this.
It just so happened that Zeng Fan's words also offended Li Man's ex-boyfriend David.
David is an absolute scumbag in relationships, but he won't tolerate anyone calling him a scumbag. Zeng Fan has seriously stepped on David's minefield.
Jiang Zong also realized this, so he teamed up with David and deliberately "set up" Zeng Fan.
He had Mary bring Zeng Fan to David's Tiancheng Law Firm to discuss the renewal of their annual service contract. He specifically gave Zeng Fan the opportunity to review and approve the contract, and even asked her to prepare a speech and preside over the meeting. With everyone's attention focused on Zeng Fan, feeling euphoric and basking in her glory, David intervened, bluntly accusing her of spreading unfavorable rumors and undermining the unity between the two parties and her personal image, and therefore terminated the cooperation.
Zeng Fan would instantly feel the sensation of falling from heaven to hell. For someone as proud and attention-seeking as her, being humiliated in public was the perfect punishment.
Killing someone means destroying their heart, and Jiang Zong also believed that this was the best retribution for her.
Finally, the head of the human resources department stepped in and tactfully told Zeng Fan, "You have offended the people at Tiancheng Firm. Keeping you at Taehyung will only affect the cooperation between the two companies," forcing Zeng Fan to voluntarily resign.
Zeng Fan himself had his own guilty conscience, so he had to resign in disappointment.
In this way, she was defeated by her own words.
Jiang Zong also felt that this was a small way to vent Qiao Ruoying's anger.
Of course, Jiang Zong didn't want to tell Qiao Ruoying all the twists and turns for the time being.
When he gets ruthless, he can be very cruel and merciless. As for this cruel side of his, it is better to let Yingying know it after marriage.
At that time, she was bound by marriage and could not leave him.
"Remember, now that you're an administrative supervisor, you need to change your role. Don't do everything yourself. Make good use of your employees, let them do things for you, and gradually develop a managerial mindset."
They soon arrived at Yaxin Garden, and Jiang Zong gave her these final instructions.
Qiao Ruoying nodded. She took in everything Jiang Zongye said.
After sending Qiao Ruoying to the door of the small apartment, Jiang Zong took the elevator downstairs again.
He was at the Yingtai Club and had a social event to attend.
During this time, the driver, Lao Li, was waiting in the garage downstairs.
I sighed in my heart that Mr. Jiang could go directly from the group headquarters to Yingtai, but he was willing to go back to Yaxinyuan in order to spend more time with Miss Qiao.
In the apartment.
As soon as Qiao Ruoying returned, she took off her taro purple coat and hung it on the wooden hanger in the entrance hall. Two lambskin boots were placed at the door.
Two dolls, Ji Yi and Xiao Ba, were lying lazily on the cheese yellow sofa.
Qiao Ruoying pulled Ji Yi over and patted her and Xiao Ba's heads. She originally had another Usagi, but she lost it during the move.
She clearly remembered that she had brought baby Usaqi on the Huolala package, but when she arrived at her new home and was sorting through the cartons, she couldn't find Usaqi.
Qiao Ruoying also felt very sorry for losing the baby Usaqi.
At this time, Mary happened to call her and asked her if there was a file of "South City Factory Office Building Relocation Plan 3.0" in her laptop backup.
Qiao Ruoying had a backup of this document on her office computer, but not on her laptop.
Although Mary was in a hurry to use it, she heard that Qiao Ruoying didn't have a backup on her laptop, so she replied, "It's okay, if there's no backup, forget it. I can fix it tomorrow when I get back to the office."
At this moment, an idea suddenly popped up in Qiao Ruoying's mind: Maybe Jiang Zongye has a backup there, why not ask him.
She replied to Mary: "I'll see if I can get it. If I do, I'll get back to you later."
After that, Qiao Ruoying sent a message to Jiang Zongye asking if he had the document in his notebook.
Jiang Zongye was in Yingtai and there was no archived data on his laptop.
But Qiao Ruoying had finally asked him for help, how could he say no?
Even if he didn't have it on hand, he had to get the document.
So, in the middle of the social event, Jiang Zong also received her message. Regardless of the fact that his social partners were still there, he directly called the driver Lao Li in and asked Lao Li to go back to the group headquarters to copy a document.
Because of his mistakes some time ago, Lao Li has always wanted to "make amends". After receiving the order from General Manager Xiao Jiang, he vowed in his heart that he must do this well.
After instructing Old Li, Jiang Zong also replied to her message: "Don't worry, I have it here. I will return to Yaxin Garden around ten o'clock and bring it to you then."
"good."
After seeing his message, Qiao Ruoying felt relieved in her heart, and she no longer had to worry about this matter.
She knew that Jiang Zong would also take care of it for her.
He always gave her such a sense of security.
Just then, her upstairs neighbor, Yuan Yuan, also sent her a message: "Xiao Qiao, are you back from get off work? I made too many fermented rice balls today. I'll bring a bowl down for you to try later, okay?"
"I'll bring it down for you around 9:30."
Yuan Yuan is Yuan Yiyi's cousin. It was not until Qiao Ruoying moved into Yaxin Garden that Yuan Yiyi discovered that her best friend actually lived on the floors above and below her cousin.
Because of her relationship with Yuan Yiyi, Qiao Ruoying and Yuan Yuan became very close. She would bring a portion of her freshly baked bread to Yuan Yuan, and when Yuan Yuan cooked dessert, she would bring a bowl downstairs for her.
Thinking of the rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice that she would eat after taking a bath, Qiao Ruoying happily replied, "Okay."
The bathroom was filled with mist, steam rising. The curling hot air hit the glass door, staining the clear glass with a layer of milky white mist. Qiao Ruoying took off her clothes, and her whole body was shrouded in the mist, her breath as fragrant as orchid.
She scrubbed herself carefully, and the water, which was warm to the point of being hot, also washed away the fatigue all over her body.
After taking a shower, Qiao Ruoying casually took out a dark green suspender dress from the closet, put it on, and then went to blow dry her hair.
This nightgown was also chosen for her by Yuan Yiyi, who disdained her two-piece pajamas with long sleeves and pants and printed with cartoon bear and cat patterns.
In Yuan Yiyi's opinion, Qiao Ruoying has such a good figure, and it is a waste of her talent for her to always wear those cute clothes.
She gathered her wet hair to one side, revealing a thin, white patch at the back of her neck.
"Ding Dong, Ding Dong."
The doorbell rang.
Qiao Ruoying thought it was Yuan Yuan, so she quickly stopped the hair dryer and ran to open the door.
The moment the door opened, the cold air from the corridor rushed in, and her white jade-like arms couldn't help but get a few ivory bumps. But she was stunned, because the person standing outside the door was not Yuan Yuan, but Jiang Zongye.
The man was wearing a black horn-buttoned coat that fell neatly to his knees. He was like a pine tree standing in the wind and snow, sharp and straight, his eyes like lightning, shooting straight at her.
The corridor at the entrance was empty, and the faded walls had a yellowed, old feel, but against his backdrop, it looked like a frame from an old movie, with the depth and texture of a story.
Jiang Zong didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he opened the door.
The air inside the door was as warm as a spring breeze, with the scent of citrus and rose water wafting in. She stood under the bright light, her clean, white face full of surprise after taking a shower, and her wet eyes reminded him of the eyes of some small animal.
He could even see the slight rise and fall of her chest, the plump lotus-like peaks pushing up the thin silk nightgown.
A drop of water slid down from her beautiful chin, winding its way into the girl's slender collarbone.
