Gao Baoliang's eyes lit up; how come he hadn't thought of that?
"Honey, it would be great if you could come with me. If that's not possible, you can quit your job and focus on photography. I'll support you anyway."
And I want to be with you every day.
His eyes suddenly became tender.
Yang Lu smiled, pursing her lips, and rested her hands on the table, staring intently at him.
I'll think about it carefully later.
Just then, Meng Jiao, who was at the next table, started coughing violently.
She covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
Li Jiabao shook his head as he watched her retreating figure, muttering to himself, "She can't even handle this little bit of spice, what a delicate person. People who are afraid of spicy food should eat more and gradually get used to it."
Gao Baoliang looked at the table full of spicy dishes in front of him and gasped.
Meng Jiao cannot eat spicy food.
They've been married for so long, don't they even know such obvious preferences?
Seeing the slight change in Gao Baoliang's expression, Yang Lu whispered in his ear:
"I'll go comfort Mengjiao."
Gao Baoliang quickly grabbed her hand, looked into her bright eyes, and finally let go.
He believed Yang Lu would handle it well, so he let her go.
When she got to the restroom, she saw Meng Jiao rinsing her mouth with cold water, her nose burning red.
She pulled a tissue from her pocket and handed it to her.
"I can't eat spicy food!"
She spoke.
When Meng Jiao saw it was her, she gave a wry smile.
"I wanted to try a little bit, but I still couldn't accept it."
"Don't force yourself if you can't finish it. Order some things you like. When you have the choice, why not choose what you want?"
Yang Lu shrugged.
When Meng Jiao heard what she said, she paused, staring at her intently.
"What are you trying to say? Are you mocking me for giving up on Baoliang? Do you think I wanted this?"
Her eyes welled up with tears as she recalled those days.
Yang Lu panicked a little and quickly supported her shoulder.
"Don't get agitated, that's not what I meant. Actually, because my dad also works in the system, I understand you very well."
We grew up in that circle, and before making a decision, we have to consider many things, so we can't just do whatever we want.
Marrying someone else, that's definitely not what you wanted, right?
But I want to say that when we have a choice, we should follow our hearts. Like just now, if you clearly don't like spicy food, why let someone force spiciness on you?
The final choice always rests with us.
After hearing what she said, Meng Jiao's beautiful face softened slightly, and then she actually leaned on Yang Lu's shoulder and started sobbing.
She's been feeling really down lately.
I still can't understand why things turned out this way.
She tried to get back into a normal routine, but things never went as planned.
But at that moment, she suddenly understood.
What's missed is missed.
A mistake is a mistake.
In the past, she was always led by the nose by others, but now she wants to live according to her own ideas.
After crying for a while, she washed her face again and smiled at Yang Lu:
"You and Baoliang are a perfect match, and you will be happy together forever."
Actually, she saw the two of them being all lovey-dovey as soon as she entered the room, and she felt incredibly jealous, but she knew she had no right to interfere.
Li Jiabao also saw Gao Baoliang and deliberately ordered spicy dishes, urging her to eat more.
Perhaps she feels uncomfortable that they were together in the past.
Yang Lu smiled:
"Thank you for your blessings, and I hope that your future will be bright and promising."
After returning to the table, Meng Jiao asked the waiter to order two of her favorite dishes.
While eating, he said to Li Jiabao:
"Didn't you just say you wanted me to write a report about your work achievements? Okay, I promise you. However, after you get promoted, I hope you will agree to a divorce."
Li Jiabao was a little surprised, and his tone softened considerably:
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you again? We used to be doing so well, but you've changed since we got married. It's like you don't even have the friendship anymore."
Meng Jiao shook her head and chuckled: "Li Jiabao, you deliberately approached me before just to get my father to promote you."
Now that you've achieved your goal, why bother with this pretense?
Li Jiabao was exposed by her and became furious:
"Meng Jiao, don't be ungrateful. A man as good as me is more than a match for you. What are you complaining about? Once my career advances to the next level, I'll find a way to promote you to editor-in-chief. What are you dissatisfied with?"
Meng Jiao ate her meal slowly, feeling that she couldn't get along with him at all. After finishing her meal, she picked up her bag and left.
"I'll be very busy from now on, so I'll be staying in the dorm and won't be going home."
She suddenly felt that her world had become clear and bright.
Why keep a man like that around for the New Year?
She can still be the editor-in-chief if she focuses her energy on her work.
After Meng Jiao left, Li Jiabao turned around to look at Gao Baoliang, glared at them, and then got up and left as well.
As I left, I thought to myself, let Gao Baoliang do whatever he wants. Let's see how I pull him down once he climbs to a high place!
Gao Baoliang was unaware of his dark thoughts and just focused on doing his work.
The next day, he brought workers to Robert's house and began modifying the water and electricity systems.
Robert's family stayed at their neighbor's house.
I waved to him from afar.
Gao Baoliang waved his hand to signal, and then began to explain the tasks to the workers.
He had just finished giving his instructions when he saw a foreign woman embracing him in the yard.
The foreign woman was talking as if no one else was around, and he overheard their conversation.
So she was Helen.
Starlight Trading is now in a state of near collapse under her control.
Her purpose in coming to Robert was twofold: first, to ask him to introduce her to some high-quality clients out of consideration for their elder relationship; and second, to complain to Robert that Jiang Ning was maliciously undercutting prices and stealing her clients, and that Jiang Ning should be fired.
After listening, Robert laughed and said:
“Helen, I can introduce you to some friends, but firing Jiang Ning is absolutely out of the question. She is my business partner, and what she did was not illegal. Why should I fire her?”
Would you fire someone who generates profit?
Helen was rebuffed and warned him:
"Isn't she trying to smear you? It will tarnish your reputation as a diplomat."
Robert smiled outwardly, but inwardly he resented Robert for meddling in his business.
"Alright, mind your own business. If Jack hadn't messed around, your company wouldn't have gone downhill and almost been swallowed up."
You should really think about how to get more orders.
Helen left with a dark expression.
As soon as she stepped out of the Xidan compound, Ma Huiwen came up to her and asked how she was doing.
“It’s no use. Robert is completely bewitched by Jiang Ning. We need to think of another way,” Helen told her.
Ma Huiwen then flattered:
“I have another way. Since Robert isn’t on your side, let’s take their joint company business to the Economic Committee.”
Helen readily agreed and made the call to the government department.
But to her surprise, the person who answered the phone was Ji Yang.
