Chapter 208 Giving the Wife a Good Impression
When I arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, it was noon, and the gates were closed.
Ji Ying was happy for a moment before she remembered that he was Liang Yizhi!
Ji Ying was still in a daze when she quickly obtained her second marriage certificate.
It's only been a short time since the divorce. The grass on the grave... no, the cover of the last divorce certificate hasn't even been covered in dust yet, and they've already dug themselves into another hole.
Liang Yizhi embraced his legally recognized wife, his smile as comfortable as a cat basking in the sun.
Once inside the car, Ji Ying asked uncertainly, "You...don't you need to sign a prenuptial agreement or anything?"
Liang Yizhi turned his gaze from the window and landed on her face, which was filled with "this doesn't make sense," and said indifferently, "Signing that thing is a waste of paper."
Ji Ying was surprised by his reasoning: "What if we get divorced in the future and I want to take all your assets? What will you do then?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yizhi's smile vanished. "If it really comes to that, my only request is that you take me with you."
Ji Ying, "..."
She discovered that Liang Yizhi also possessed a strong personality.
But unlike others who force her, his strength lies in his ability to create a sufficiently broad space first and cleverly make her feel comfortable and at ease in that space.
This assertiveness, so broad in scope that it is almost imperceptible, ironically becomes a form of thoughtfulness.
Ji Ying shoved her marriage certificate into his hand, saying, "What I'm about to do is very important, so you need to hide everything that needs to be hidden."
Liang Yizhi understood the meaning behind her words and stuffed a card into her hand.
Just as Ji Ying was about to refuse, she heard the man say, "A secret marriage is fine, but don't even think about cutting ties with me financially. Here's my salary card, keep it for me."
Ji Ying was speechless again.
Jiang Ran, who was driving, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Liang Yizhi clicked his tongue, and Jiang Ran instantly stopped smiling.
"Why don't you learn from Xue Qin's strengths?" Liang Yizhi said.
Jiang Ran was sincere in attitude but slick in tone, “Secretary Xue is too high-class, I can’t handle his style.”
Liang Yizhi slowly uttered a sentence: "Xue Qin's greatest advantage is that he keeps his mouth shut no matter who he is talking to."
Jiang Ran understood, made a zipping motion to her mouth, and continued driving.
When they arrived at Qingsui Power Station, Ji Ying was about to get off the bus, but Liang Yizhi was still holding her.
"What time do you get off work?" he asked.
Ji Ying thought for a moment, "It must be around seven or eight o'clock."
"Okay, I'll come pick you up then."
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow: "Shall we go back to the Liang family together?"
Liang Yizhi laughed, "On my first wedding night, are you planning to sleep in a separate room from me?"
Ji Ying pursed her lips, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Jiang Ran opened the car door for her.
Ji Ying got out of the car and said to her, "The outfit in the trunk was bought for you."
Jiang Ran was surprised.
Ji Ying: "Thank you for your coat."
They preserved a shred of dignity for her when she was at her lowest point.
Jiang Ran immediately put on a guilty look, "On your big day, I didn't have time to prepare a red envelope, and I'm sorry to have troubled you to spend money!"
Ji Ying was amused by her words, "It's money your boss paid, so keep it."
Jiang Ran immediately straightened her back and said, "Thank you, boss lady."
Ji Ying glanced back at the car after hearing her words, then walked away with her ears turning red.
Liang Yizhi's eyes curved slightly, suppressing the subtle smile in his eyes as he said lightly, "I always thought you were pretty good at fighting, but I didn't expect you to be even better at talking."
Jiang Ran was even happier.
Back in the driver's seat, Jiang Ran composed herself and said seriously, "That doctor only insisted that it was Madam Liang who instructed him to examine Miss Ji... no, Madam. As for whether the samples were actually taken for testing or given to someone else, he refused to say."
Liang Yizhi's face remained expressionless. "It seems someone has something on us, and we have to protect the person who really wants the evidence."
Jiang Ran was puzzled. "Who on earth is so capable of controlling the test results of the samples we submit time and time again? If it weren't for Li Duoyu's incident that exposed them, we would still be kept in the dark. This person's skills... are extraordinary."
Liang Yizhi's eyes darkened for a moment after hearing this. "This means that someone doesn't want us to find her, but wants to find her themselves first."
Jiang Ran understood that "she" referred to the true darling of the Shen family.
The whole thing probably started because of that professor from the Shen family.
"Do we need to use any methods?" Jiang Ran asked.
Liang Yizhi thought for two seconds, "No need. He was just an unsuspecting knife. Let the hospital revoke his medical license, fire him, and kick him out of Kun City."
Jiang Ran nodded, "Then this lead we're investigating has gone cold."
Liang Yizhi said confidently, "If they don't achieve their goal, they'll try again. Let's wait for next time."
"Be careful to keep this a secret," Liang Yizhi reminded him.
Jiang Ran straightened her chest and said, "Understood."
Even Secretary Xue was completely excluded from knowing about this matter, which shows how high its level of secrecy was.
...
As soon as Ji Ying entered the office, Xiao Chang led a young man to greet her.
"This is Wu Li, a newly recruited employee of the company."
Ji Ying glanced at the other person indifferently, without saying a word.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Chang immediately said, "He graduated from USTC and has an excellent resume. He can be placed in your lab."
Ji Ying looked at him, "Have you done a background check?"
Xiao Chang turned around, his back to Wu Li, and said in a low voice, "He is the son of Vice Dean Minghe, and his academic qualifications are genuine. Is a background check still necessary?"
Ji Ying pursed her lips. "I think it's necessary."
"Company processes can't be too rigid; his status itself is the best guarantee."
"But do you know how important lab data is at this stage of research and development?"
Xiao Chang paused for two seconds, then smiled and replied, "But if both sides need to keep up with the progress, you don't have enough manpower right now. This is the fastest way I can think of to bring in technical personnel for the lab."
Seeing his insistence, Ji Ying finally gave in.
"Let him work in the internship position for now. If he passes, he can stay. If he fails, you can make other arrangements."
Xiao Chang happily instructed his secretary to take Wu Li out to complete the onboarding procedures.
"How did Xiao Xia's checkup go?" Ji Ying asked.
Xiao Chang's smile faded. "We still need to wait for the results."
Ji Yingxin understood. There was a lot to say about the word "waiting," and he still needed to work on his heart condition.
Just then, her phone rang.
It was Liang Jian who called.
Xiao Chang wisely left her office.
But she didn't answer the phone.
The phone rang once, then didn't call back.
Ji Ying dialed Liang Yanchuan's number.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
Liang Yanchuan's eyes were swollen and his body was covered in bruises, but he sounded very relaxed. "The doctor said I need to be hospitalized for observation for two days, but actually I'm pretty resilient, so I'm fine."
Ji Ying knew he was trying to comfort her. "Remember to have your mother bring you a midnight snack tonight. Whether you can become Xie Lingfang's thorn in her side depends on tonight."
Liang Yanchuan smiled and said, "I understand."
Afterwards, Ji Ying went to the laboratory and came out at 8:30.
Aside from one call from Liang Jian, no one else contacted her on her phone.
Ji Ying was the last to leave the company. Just as she reached the roadside, Liang Yizhi drove up in his car.
Ji Ying was pleasantly surprised.
Once in the car, she asked, "How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you call me?"
She thought he was busy and wouldn't come.
Liang Yizhi started the car. "Even if I call you, I'll have to wait until you're done. Why don't you just wait here and make a good impression on your wife?"
At that moment, he looked just like a well-behaved big dog.
"Good boy." Ji Ying patted his head and smiled.
A short while later, the car stopped downstairs at the apartment building.
Liang Yizhi took her hand and led her to his apartment.
Several dishes were already laid out on the table, covered with lids.
Ji Ying was pleasantly surprised again.
"You did all of this?"
Liang Yizhi walked into the kitchen, put on an apron, and said, "There's a dish that tastes best when it has that wok hei (wok aroma), so it has to be made fresh. Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
Ji Ying leaned against the door and laughed, "I take back what I said about opening a massage parlor after you lose your job. Open a restaurant instead, that way I'll have something to eat every day."
Liang Yizhi was busy cooking, his hands never stopping, and said calmly, "This treatment is exclusively for my wife; no one else should even think about it."
Ji Ying laughed at his words.
Just then, her phone rang.
Liang Jian sent a message: "I'm downstairs at your apartment building. Where are you? Let's meet."
The smile on Ji Ying's lips vanished instantly, and her eyes became calm.
Just then, a soft "snap" sounded beside me.
Liang Yizhi turned off the stove, took off his apron, and said calmly, "Go find him."
