Soon, two black sedans stopped in front of the building, and someone went over and opened the car doors.
The first person to enter was a tall young man with brown hair, fair skin, and high brow bones. He didn't have a typical Western appearance, but you could tell he had Western ancestry.
After the man came in, three more people followed behind him, all of them Chinese with black hair and yellow skin.
"What does this mean? Are these people translators or employees? Do foreign companies all hire Chinese people?"
Ji Tong pulled Xu Wan aside and whispered something.
Xu Wan paid no attention to these people at this moment; her gaze was fixed entirely on Jiang Tingzhou.
Even though the man tried to hide it, Xu Wan could tell that his hands, which were clenched into fists in his pockets, were probably just putting on a brave face.
The young boss strode up to Jiang Tingzhou, didn't shake his hand, but instead opened his arms and gave him a hug. "Hi, Zhou, long time no see!"
"Long time no see, Daniel."
Jiang Tingzhou simply returned the hug.
The young boss straightened up and waved his hand, saying, "I prefer people to call me Yinggan now. Gan means heaven, right? Yinggan sounds like 'producing money,' and I really like this name."
Jiang Tingzhou gestured for him to leave, "Let's go, President Ying."
"Call me Ying Gan."
In China, the honorific title is only given by the surname.
"There's no need for formalities between us, just call me by my name."
"good."
Once the two got on the elevator, the bodyguards on the first floor dispersed.
Ji Tong, arm in arm with Xu Wan, said, "I must say, this boss is quite handsome, and he's so funny. His Chinese name is something like 'Print Money'! He even kept asking President Jiang to call him by his full name. It's hilarious."
"Really? I wasn't paying much attention."
Xu Wan hadn't paid much attention to this young and handsome CEO, and couldn't keep up with Ji Tong's conversation.
"Oh dear, you don't have to have eyes for President Jiang all the time, do you? He may be handsome, but if you're so obsessed with him, how heartbroken will you be if you break up with him?" Ji Tonghua realized her mistake halfway through her sentence. "Pah, don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant. President Jiang is clearly a devoted and good man, he wouldn't do such a thing."
To prevent Ji Tong from overthinking, Xu Wan could only tell the truth, "Jiang Tingzhou has a high fever, so I'm very worried about him."
"fever?"
"It was 38.5 degrees Celsius when I measured it this morning, but I don't know what's going on now."
“But I didn’t notice it at all.” Ji Tong looked in the direction of the elevator and couldn’t help but sigh, “No wonder he can be a boss; he can even overcome this kind of physical discomfort.”
Xu Wan gave a wry smile.
She guessed that Jiang Tingzhou was probably struggling to stay afloat by his beliefs.
The next few hours were even harder for Xu Wan than the morning.
He didn't even have an appetite for lunch.
It wasn't until after 2 p.m. that Xu Wan's long-silent phone finally rang.
The caller ID displayed on the screen is "Husband".
Xu Wan answered the phone and had just said "hello" when a man's voice came from the other end, "I'm waiting for you in a black car in the underground parking garage. Come down, I'm too weak to move."
The man's voice was very weak.
After agreeing, Xu Wan didn't even have time to tidy up the things on the table. She grabbed her bag and ran towards the elevator.
Usually, few people use the elevator at this time, but today, as she went downstairs, her colleagues stopped almost every floor, as if they had made a pact.
It was five minutes later when she arrived at the underground parking garage.
The car Jiang Tingzhou was in had its hazard lights on, making it very easy to spot.
Xu Wan ran over and vaguely saw the man sitting in the back seat. There was no driver in the front seat, so she quickly opened the back door and asked, "Am I driving?"
"Um, I'm a little unable to move. Could you please be my driver?"
Jiang Tingzhou raised his hand and placed the key in Xu Wan's hand.
The moment their palms touched, an almost burning temperature was transmitted through the skin of the man's palm.
"You have such a high fever?!" Xu Wan was terrified.
"Hmm, I don't seem to be feeling well." Jiang Tingzhou closed his eyes slightly and said weakly, "I'll take a nap. I'll leave the rest to you."
Xu Wan gripped the keys, not daring to waste a moment, and quickly ran to the driver's seat.
This car is a Rolls-Royce, worth tens of millions. In the past, she would have handled it with great care, but today she couldn't care less. After a quick feel, she drove the car directly towards the exit.
