Chapter 258 Greedy Orphan Nanny VS Mentally Retarded Young Master
Jiang Shen couldn't help but glance in their direction several more times, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
In the end, he left quietly.
It was evening.
Jiang Shen sat in his office on the top floor.
After he returned to China, Jiang Jicheng entrusted him with all the affairs of the Jiang family, only asking a few questions when it came to major decisions.
Looking at the mountain of documents in front of him, he closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.
Since returning from the restaurant, he has been absent-minded and has done almost nothing.
In the past, whenever she went out and he waited for her at home to come back, he would do the same thing.
He would stand guard at the door, or by the window where he could see the door at a glance, and wait and wait, hoping and hoping.
Back then, the toys in his hands were not fun, the TV programs were boring, and the food didn't taste good... No matter what he did, he felt it was meaningless.
He just wanted her back.
It's like drinking plain water; his favorite honey is gone, and everything is bland and tasteless.
Jiang Shen took out a necklace from the drawer, which he had bought at an auction a few days ago. The necklace was shaped like a wreath and was set with many diamonds, which were dazzling and radiant, like twinkling stars.
The necklace looked a lot like the little flower wreath he used to make for her with wildflowers he picked from the mountains, so he wanted to buy it and give it to her the moment he saw it.
Jiang Shen recalled the scene he had just witnessed in the restaurant, and a surge of restlessness welled up inside him.
But what's the point of buying it?
How should he give it to her now? What reason should he give? In what capacity should he act?
The two of them were already strangers, and had no connection whatsoever.
Jiang Shen suddenly found the thing extremely annoying, so he threw it into the trash can.
Not long after, Jiang Shen left the company.
After Jiang Shen left, Li Guan, the assistant who was responsible for tidying up the office every day, came in and worked carefully as usual.
Huh? What's going on?
How did such a beautiful and sparkly necklace end up in the trash?
Chairman Jiang was too careless.
If he hadn't been so careful, the cleaning lady would have thrown the necklace away.
Li Guan immediately picked up the necklace, wiped it clean, and placed it in the most conspicuous position on his desk, ensuring that Jiang Shen would see it at first glance tomorrow.
After doing all this, Li Guan left satisfied.
As a competent and good assistant, today was another fulfilling day for him!
...
The next day, Jiang Shen frowned as he looked at the necklace that had reappeared on the table and called Li Guan in.
"Chairman Jiang," Li Guan greeted respectfully.
When he saw the necklace in Jiang Shen's hand, he immediately knew what was going on. He quickly took credit and said, "I picked the necklace out of the trash can yesterday. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I've already cleaned it."
Jiang Shen remained silent.
"Chairman Jiang, is there anything else that's missing?" Li Guan panicked when he saw that Jiang didn't speak. Could it be that he missed something yesterday and didn't pick it up?
Jiang Shen shook his head and said, "I don't want this."
Li Guan: "..."
He should have just picked them up and sold them.
Jiang Shen glanced at Li Guan, who was wearing a floral shirt, and he seemed to have a rich romantic history.
He asked, "If there's someone you haven't been in touch with for a long time, what excuse would you use to give her a gift without seeming abrupt?"
Li Guanxin understood immediately; it turned out the big boss was having relationship problems.
Now it's his time to shine!
Li Guan: "My suggestion is to just give it to them! Don't bother with excuses or worry about whether it's abrupt or not. No one will refuse a gift that falls from the sky but does no harm. On the contrary, they will weep with gratitude for the bounty of nature and thank the kind God..."
"Alright," Jiang Shen interrupted him directly, feeling like he had asked a pointless question. "You can leave now."
If Li Guan hadn't been arranged by Jiang Jicheng, and was supposedly some distant relative of the Jiang family who could have been given a job to do nothing, Jiang would have really wanted to fire him.
...
A few days later.
Several people came to Jiang Zhiyi's shop, some of whom were mall staff. They said that a Mr. Jiang had bought the shop and given it to her, and now all she needed to do was sign a few contracts.
She probably already guessed who was behind this.
These days she's still thinking about how to get closer to Jiang Shen, since their social circles don't overlap at all.
She didn't expect Jiang Shen to take the initiative to find her. It seems he really hates her and can't help but want to take revenge on her for using him to swindle money before.
This shop was probably the first bait Jiang Shen used to lure her into a trap.
Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. Even when Jiang Shen was a little simple-minded, he was very vengeful. Before, she thought he had a bad memory and would forget about various conflicts the next day, but that's not the case at all.
In fact, he hadn't forgotten anything; he was waiting, waiting for the right opportunity to act.
Jiang Shen is such a wicked fool; he's petty but has a terrible temper.
She used to break his toys, trample his flowers, pinch his face hard... He would never forget any of the trivial things she did, secretly remembering them all clearly in his heart.
Then he would choose a suitable time to reveal the truth, using moral blackmail and threats to force her to give him some compensation. And that compensation would nothing more than taking him out, buying him gifts, and showering him with affection...
Jiang Zhiyi sighed and asked directly, "Mr. Jiang? Is it Jiang Shen?"
The man in the lead paused for a moment, then nodded. "Mr. Jiang said this is a gift for you. You don't need to think too much about it or ask any questions. Just accept it."
Jiang Zhiyi: "Can you get in touch with him now? I have something I want to say to him in person. Can you ask him if he's free?"
The man wanted to refuse, but Jiang Zhiyi kept insisting.
"...Okay, I'll go ask."
Soon, Jiang Shen received a call.
Jiang Shen hesitated.
He wasn't actually ready to approach her directly, but he knew she had recently encountered some difficulties, so he wanted to help her.
He still doesn't know how to face her.
Jiang Shen is undoubtedly a confident person. Even when he was still a fool, he never acted timidly.
But in her presence, he appeared timid.
Perhaps because he liked him and cared about him, he couldn't help but feel a lot of negative emotions and couldn't help but magnify his own shortcomings.
In other words, he dared not see her.
Jiang Zhiyi was getting impatient, so she took the phone from the man and said, "Jiang Shen, let's meet."
In the empty office, her clear voice came through the phone.
Jiang Shen's mind went blank. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but then he heard her say, "I miss you so much, Jiang Shen. Let's meet."
I miss you so much, I miss you so much...
His grip on the phone tightened little by little, his heart pounded, and his blood seemed to freeze.
The call screen was still flashing, turning on and off, and his breathing became rapid, his body trembling slightly.
It was just such a simple sentence, but he didn't know how to answer it; he couldn't find a way to refuse her.
After a long silence, he finally resigned himself to his fate and replied, "Okay."
