Chapter 53 He is a businessman, and businessmen value profit above all else.
Jiang Yimian reached out and grabbed his tie, smiling broadly: "Yes, I'm just making empty promises."
After saying that, she looked up and kissed him on the cheek, saying, "Don't be sad, this is a reward for you."
Bo Jinzhou's brows relaxed, and his dark, sharp eyes softened. Her unexpected kiss made his heart tremble, rippling with waves of emotion.
"Trying to coax me?"
Jiang Yimian: "Just tell me if you want it or not."
Bo Jinzhou smiled helplessly, "Yes."
There was a knock on the office door. Bo Jinzhou straightened up and straightened his tie. Song Zhou entered with three secretaries.
Song Zhou: "Madam, I am Mr. Bo's assistant, on call 24 hours a day. These three are Mr. Bo's secretaries. The four of us have been with Mr. Bo for five years. Just call out if you need anything."
The three secretaries introduced themselves one by one, each responsible for a different area.
Jiang Yimian: "I understand, you may leave."
After everyone left, Jiang Yimian asked, puzzled, "I don't need it, there's no need for such a big fuss."
Bo Jinzhou leaned against the table and looked down at her. "You should also get to know the people around me. You can contact them if you need anything."
Jiang Yimian thought for a moment, "Can I go and chat with them?"
Bo Jinzhou got up and walked to his desk: "Sure, you can talk to me as you like."
Jiang Yimian took out the blueprints, put on her headphones, and played soft, instrumental music.
The two were busy with their own things and didn't disturb each other. However, since there were many people coming and going in the office, everyone knew that Jiang Yimian had arrived and consciously made quiet movements.
Bo Jinzhou was going to a meeting. He picked up his coat from the chair, looked at her, and strode out without disturbing her.
Bo Jinzhou's meeting went on for a long time, and he hadn't returned by 11 p.m., so Chen Yi brought him food.
"Madam, Mr. Bo will be eating in a little while. Please eat first."
Jiang Yimian took off her headphones. "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Chen Yi smiled and nodded as she left. Jiang Yimian went to wash her hands. Bo Jinzhou's office was large, well-equipped, and even had a separate bathroom.
After washing her hands, she leaned against the edge and took out her phone.
Tan Yusu sent her a message: "Is Qiu Luo coming tonight?"
I'm a bit busy, so I can't go.
Tan Yusu: [The top courtesan from last time is leaving.]
Jiang Yimian: [Has any information been given?]
No, he's very cautious; he only saw you.
Jiang Yimian: [Okay, I'll go over there later.]
Bo Jinzhou finished his meeting a little after 1 a.m. and hurried to his office. "Has your wife eaten?"
Song Zhou: "Secretary Chen delivered food to his wife."
Bo Jinzhou returned to his office, where Jiang Yimian was still sitting in her chair drawing.
She looked up when she heard a noise at the door, her face full of complaint, "Why is it so late? I'm starving."
Bo Jinzhou's gaze fell on the lunchbox on the table, and he frowned slightly: "Didn't I tell you to eat first?"
He unbuttoned his suit jacket and tossed it onto the sofa. Jiang Yimian walked over and said, "I've been waiting for you."
"I wonder if I'm cold," she muttered to herself.
The man behind her approached, grabbed her wrist, and then lifted her up by her armpits, placing her on the back of the sofa. Jiang Yimian felt the soft touch of the sofa beneath her buttocks. Afraid of falling, she reached out and hugged his neck.
"What are you doing? Aren't you hungry? I'm starving to death."
Bo Jinzhou's dark phoenix eyes reflected her coquettish face. He bent over, supporting himself with one hand and holding her slender waist with the other. "You're so hungry, why are you waiting for me?"
Jiang Yimian looked away, saying, "Well, I was just being kind."
Bo Jinzhou lowered his head and pecked her lips. "Then thank you for the princess's gift."
Jiang Yimian covered his thin lips, "I never said I would give you this benefit. If you do it on your own again, I'll bite you."
Bo Jinzhou's wet, slippery tongue touched Jiang Yimian's sensitive, soft palm, startling her so much that she withdrew her hand. "You're a pervert."
"Mrs. Bo is so mean, I have no choice but to find my own way to benefit myself."
Jiang Yimian enunciated each word clearly, “I’m mean? Then go find someone who isn’t.”
Bo Jinzhou pinched her cheek, "Why are you getting so anxious? You're as angry as a pufferfish."
Jiang Yimian: "..." You bastard.
Jiang Yimian kicked him, and Bo Jinzhou took the kick without dodging, chuckling as he put her down.
Bo Jinzhou was going to meet a client in the afternoon, so Jiang Yimian said she would go find Tan Yusu to play by herself.
Bo Jinzhou didn't say much, at least not about going to Qiu Luo to find Chu Yao.
At 7 p.m., Qiu Luo was quiet and deserted, with only cleaning staff still cleaning up.
Jiang Yimian went to the private room, where the top male escort was sitting, dressed neatly, looking like a handsome college student.
Jiang Yimian crossed her arms and leaned back, looking directly at him. "Tell me, when is your boss coming to Yanjing?"
"My eldest son said he won't be coming to Yanjing for the time being."
Jiang Yimian narrowed her eyes: "Are you playing me?"
“Miss Jiang, please don’t be angry. Our boss is very busy lately and can’t come for the time being, but that doesn’t mean he won’t come later. Please pick a day, and my boss will definitely keep the appointment.”
Jiang Yimian felt there was something wrong with what she said; she said she didn't have time to come, but then she was told to pick a day.
What if the day she chooses happens to coincide with something he has to do?
Jiang Yimian tentatively asked, "Can I choose?"
"Yes."
"I won't get involved if something happens."
"You can choose whatever you like."
Jiang Yimian went through the options in her mind and chose a reasonable time: "January 20th, I've picked a good seat for your boss at the Beijing Grand Theatre, and I'm inviting him to see a ballet."
The top performer's lips twitched. His eldest son couldn't understand dance dramas at all; this Miss Jiang was definitely doing it on purpose.
He agreed, "Okay."
Jiang Yimian went to Tan Yusu and asked for two tickets, giving the top-ranked ticket to her. "Is your boss surnamed Huo?"
Top performer: "Yes."
Tan Yusu watched the top courtesan leave the private room before entering. "You wanted to meet me here?"
Jiang Yimian: "Hmm, if I meet alone, Bo Jinzhou will find out, and Lu Wenchang's people are still monitoring me. If I go to your performance to support you, no one will suspect anything. Besides, it's dark and there are many people around, so they won't be able to tell anything."
Tan Yusu rested her chin on her hand and said, "Thank you for your support, Miss."
Ballet shows are rarely seen; half the tickets are always left unsold.
Tan Yusu wondered if she should also enter the entertainment industry and promote herself more.
Go on variety shows to become a familiar face, and the audience will naturally come.
However, she has a special identity as the youngest daughter of the Tan family. If she were to enter the entertainment industry, she would likely face a barrage of criticism from her elders.
In the eyes of wealthy and powerful families, actresses are not respectable enough; it is already a blessing that she can become a ballet dancer.
Tan Yusu stopped thinking about those upsetting things and turned to ask about their progress, "Are you getting along well?"
Jiang Yimian: "It's nice, but I've recently changed my approach."
"Bo Jinzhou is a good patron, but a marriage certificate alone is not enough to make him wholeheartedly help me bring down Lu Wenchang."
As Tan Yusu listened, her pupils slowly dilated, and she guessed what she meant, "You want Bo Jinzhou to fall completely in love with you?"
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow. "Su Su is really smart."
Tan Yusu: "Can it work? Although Bo Jinzhou likes you quite a bit now, don't forget that he's a businessman, and businessmen value profit the most."
“Lu Wenchang is ambitious and ruthless. Over the years, he has completely controlled the Jiang family. If it weren’t for the support of several veteran directors of the Jiang family, the Jiang family would probably have been replaced by Lu Wenchang’s surname.”
"He will inevitably have to exchange interests with Bo Jinzhou in the future."
