Chapter 104 Guo Jie
Jiang Yimian instinctively gripped the pen in her hand, her heart pounding, and called out, "Who is it?"
The office door opened, and light gradually peeked out, falling on the black leather shoes and above them on the long legs encased in charcoal gray suit trousers. The man was tall and slender, with sharp, cold eyes and a pair of deep, cold gazes.
Jiang Yimian felt relieved and complained, "You scared me to death! I thought Lu Wenchang had sent someone to assassinate me."
Bo Jinzhou smiled slightly, "Even if we were to assassinate someone, we wouldn't do it here."
"Mrs. Bo, it's late, aren't you going home?"
The man walked up to her office, one hand in his pocket, his expensive watch revealing a section of his well-defined wrist.
Jiang Yimian rubbed her tired eyes. "There's still work to be done."
Bo Jinzhou took off his coat and lay on the sofa. He rolled up his sleeves and unbuttoned them. With his coat off, he looked even more upright and strong. He leaned down and half-encircled her, his gaze falling on her computer.
"On your first day at work, the first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with recent projects and the progress of past projects."
“For projects like these that have already started, you can hand them over to Feng Nan and Jiang Xingyun. They are both veterans of the Jiang family, and you know their personalities and temperaments. It will be easier for you to hand them over.”
"Also, you need to keep an eye on the people Lu Yiwan left behind, lest they mingle in the company and cause you trouble."
Jiang Yimian solemnly pointed out several people who had previously worked for Lu Yiwan. "These three: Cai Na is Lu Yiwan's capable assistant and has taken credit for many of everyone's projects; Li You is one of the main people who revised the design plans for Lu Yiwan; he and Zhang Ning are still in the company and have voluntarily gone to the planning department to start from the bottom."
Bo Jinzhou glanced at them; he already had their information. He placed his hand on her chair and his voice hovered above her head, "Then what are we waiting for? Just tell HR to fire the three of them."
Jiang Yimian: "The two of them went to the planning department, where the director of the planning department has the final say. Cai Na has already let them go today."
"The director of the planning department had a close relationship with Lu Yiwan before, so he probably brought the two of them over on purpose."
Bo Jinzhou smiled, his eyes filled with malice: "Jiang Mianmian is new to the workplace, so I'll teach you a trick. Although it's vicious and immoral, it's more than enough to deal with this kind of person."
Jiang Yimian looked up at him, "You wouldn't expect me to use my position as a boss to engage in workplace bullying, would you?"
Bo Jinzhou raised an eyebrow. "Is that not allowed?"
Jiang Yimian still had some principles. "Of course not, what kind of person would I be?"
The man straightened up and tapped her head with his finger. "Stubborn."
Jiang Yimian winced and clutched her head, "Are you sick in the head?"
Bo Jinzhou glanced at her. "Those two have been running rampant in the Jiang family for years. Why don't they give them a taste of their own medicine?"
"Besides, it's just asking you to trip up the director of the planning department, not asking you to do it yourself."
Jiang Yimian rolled her eyes, feeling that there was some truth to it. "No wonder he's an old hand, he can handle this kind of thing with ease."
Bo Jinzhou snorted and picked her up. "Can we go home now?"
On her way back, Jiang Yimian received a message from a private investigator.
He found the housekeeper from the Jiang residence back then.
Uncle Jian had worked at the Jiang residence for over a decade and had watched her grow up. After that incident, Uncle Jian was also driven away.
He is currently living in his hometown of Xicheng.
Bo Jinzhou went on a business trip, and Uncle Jian arrived in Yanjing that evening.
The two met at a coffee shop in Yanjing.
Jiang Yimian pushed open the door of the coffee shop. The coffee shop was deserted, and she immediately saw Uncle Jian.
The man, nearing sixty, had a look of excitement in his eyes when he saw Jiang Yimian.
"Young Miss".
Jiang Yimian pursed her lips, stepped forward and looked at the old man in front of her, who looked much more haggard than before.
He had many fine lines around his eyes, and his hair had turned much whiter, making him very different from the middle-aged man I had in mind.
"Uncle Jian, it's been a long time."
Uncle Jian nodded, "Yes, it's been seven or eight years."
"Uncle Jian, I've come to you because I have something I want to ask you."
"Young Miss wants to ask about the eldest young lady's illness, right?"
Jiang Yimian's pupils contracted, and her fingers clenched tightly: "Uncle Jian, do you know anything?"
Uncle Jian shook his head. "All I know is that the relationship between Miss and Mr. changed a lot back then. They often quarreled, apparently because Mr. had someone else outside."
"Later, the young lady fell ill. The doctor said it was organ failure, but even though she was sent to the hospital in time, she couldn't be cured. I began to suspect that someone had tampered with her."
“But my husband has always been in charge of the hospital. I was afraid that if you knew about those things, it would affect you, so I haven’t told you.”
"It wasn't until Miss passed away and Mr. Su Yan took over as his wife that I suddenly realized what had happened. I even suspected that they had conspired to kill Miss, but I had no evidence. Mr. Su Yan gave me a sum of money to leave Yanjing. I was powerless and had no way to fight against him. I'm sorry, Miss, I couldn't help you."
Jiang Yimian's heart tightened, and her hatred for Su Yan and Lu Wenchang surged up again.
She shook her head: "Uncle Jian, I'm already very grateful that you can tell me all this."
At least there are still people willing to stand by her side.
“Miss, perhaps you could start with the doctor, but so many years have passed, the records have probably been destroyed long ago.”
Jiang Yimian: "I did check the doctor, but that hospital was invested in by Bo Qingshan, and it's full of his people. My people can't find anything there."
“I remember that doctor’s name is Guo Jie. Miss, you can go and inquire whether Dr. Guo Jie is still in Yanjing.”
Jiang Yimian nodded with a solemn expression. "Yes, I understand. Uncle Jian, did you discover anything else amiss back then?"
"If they were the ones who poisoned it, there would definitely be clues."
"At that time, all the food was purchased by the nanny Su Yan, and she also took care of the young lady's meals. Perhaps it was at that time that the poison was put in."
Uncle Jian looked regretful, "It's a pity that the young lady died so young..."
He wiped away his tears; he had watched Jiang Hua grow up and eventually get married.
I never expected it to end like this.
"If Miss had listened to Master back then, this wouldn't have happened."
Jiang Hua married Lu Wenchang without hesitation, even giving him all the resources to realize her ambitions, but unexpectedly she was inviting a wolf into her house.
Jiang Yimian took out a card from her bag. “Uncle Jian, in principle, I should be the one to take care of you in your old age. You have been in the Jiang family for many years, just like my grandfather. But now that my mother’s revenge is still unavenged and the Jiang family is still in the hands of the villain Lu Wenchang, I can’t take you in. Please take this money. I know you haven’t had a good life these years. Consider this money as your retirement fund.”
Uncle Jian quickly refused, saying, "No, Miss, I can't take it. Miss and Master treated me well back then, this is what I should do."
Jiang Yimian insisted, her solemn and clear eyes exactly like Jiang Hua's. "No, Uncle Jian, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I have no elders left, but you are my elder. This is just a small token of my appreciation."
