Chapter 200 In Danger
The window of the study was not closed, and a gust of wind blew over the documents on the table.
Lian Zhuo bent down and picked up the pictures one by one, arranging them neatly. "Yesterday and the day before yesterday, Miss Chen went there twice."
Jiang Jingyan's cheekbones were tense and he said nothing.
"Would you like to..."
Before he finished speaking, a shout came from outside the door, "Jiang Jingyan——"
Jiang Jingyan glanced at Lian Zhuo, signaled him not to say anything, stood up and went out.
Chen Qing forgot to set the alarm, and there was only one hour left before the rehearsal time, so it was too late.
"I won't have breakfast with you." She hurriedly put on her shoes in the entrance hall. "Why didn't you call me?"
He leaned against the wall, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You told me?"
"The teacher will scold you if you are late. It's very fierce."
"The driver is downstairs. It's faster than the subway."
Chen Qing leaned over, stepped on his toes and kissed him, "See you tonight."
Jiang Jingyan put his arm around her waist, leaned down, pried open her lips and teeth, and deepened the kiss.
He kissed her fiercely and domineeringly. The refreshing smell of aftershave filled her nostrils, mixed with the bitterness of tobacco and toothpaste, making Chen Qing feel a little exhausted. She finally pulled away, gasping for breath.
"You've been very busy these days." Jiang Jingyan touched her cheek and asked meaningfully, "Are you tired?"
Chen Qing straightened her dress and wiped the water stains from her mouth, her eyes filled with the newly aroused passion. "This is still good. Next semester will be even busier. By then, you'll have to queue up if you want to see me."
“I can’t be number one?”
"It depends."
Jiang Jingyan laughed, "You're trying to piss me off on purpose, right?"
She waved her hand and went out and downstairs.
The man's smile faded instantly and he turned and went into the study.
Lian Zhuo stood in the corner, carefully observing his expression, "It must be Mr. Yan's little trick. Miss Chen is fine, why is she looking for Wan Lihong?"
Jiang Jingyan gritted his teeth, his cheekbones protruding. "Yan Baiqing started with Qing'er, and Old Meng started with Vice President Lin. The father and son are plotting against me together."
His tone was sinister and sharp, and Lian Zhuo was frightened. After his fellow-disciple friendship with Yan Baiqing collapsed, the relationship between him and Meng Hongwen as a master and disciple was also in jeopardy.
Jiang Jingyan took a big gulp of water and gritted his teeth. "Contact Liang Jing and speed up the task I asked her to do last time."
Lian Zhuo accepted the order and said, "Huasheng has a meeting with the provincial government today. You must attend no matter what."
He specifically reminded them that he was afraid that Jiang Jingyan would personally investigate the Chen family's affairs. Recently, there has been unrest within the group and there have been disturbances outside. Jiang Jingyan is under attack from all sides. At this time, he still has to stabilize his position in Huasheng first.
In the afternoon, Jiang Jingyan arrived at the conference hall on time. At the same time, Chen Qing finished rehearsal and received a call from General Manager Xu.
"Ms. Chen, are you busy?"
Chen Qing avoided the crowd and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you need me for something?"
"I'm bored, so I'm having tea with some friends. They want to see the bracelet I saw last time. If you're free, come and chat with us."
She was in a bit of a dilemma. Wan Lihong's whereabouts were unknown, and she really wasn't in the mood to have fun.
But Jiang Jingyan's attitude towards Mr. Xu was acceptable last time, so she couldn't be too disrespectful to him.
"I guess it will be a little later." Chen Qing answered ambiguously.
"It's okay. We just came out and were playing cards at Xianxuan Teahouse. Just come over."
"good."
Before Chen Qing had time to go to Yuan Hui's house to get the bracelet, her boyfriend came to the school to pick them up and headed straight to the city.
Yuan Hui joked on the way, "Have you started helping Mr. Jiang with his social life? Great, you have the potential to be a rich wife."
"No, it's a personal relationship."
Chen Qing called Jiang Jingyan, but no one answered, so she called Lian Zhuo.
"Ms. Chen." Lian Zhuo waited outside the conference room and retreated to the side of the road. "Mr. Jiang is in a meeting. What's going on?"
"Do you know who Mr. Xu is?"
"Know."
"She wanted to give me a bracelet as a meeting gift at the jewelry exhibition. At that time, Jiang Jingyan and I had a scene and I didn't accept it on the spot. Now she invited me to Xianxuan Teahouse and asked me to wear the bracelet."
Lian Zhuo thought for a moment, "Mr. Jiang ordered me to return the gift to the Xu family last week. Her husband is related to the Jiang family through a branch of the family. The bracelet is a normal gift. It doesn't involve any interests, so it won't have any adverse effects. Don't worry."
Chen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. She had always been cautious in this matter, and the accident that happened to the Chen family really made her wary.
In the evening, she entered the door of Xianxuan Teahouse.
A commercial jeep was parked on the side of the road. The man in the driver's seat pulled up his collar and said, "Miss Chen is here."
Mr. Xu and his three friends were in a private room on the fourth floor. When the waiter led Chen Qing in, they were playing cards in full swing.
"Boss Xu, you're really cheating. It's not right to stop just because you've won."
Chen Qing looked around and saw that everyone looked older than her, so she bowed and greeted them.
Mr. Xu pushed his card aside, walked over and took her arm, "Hey, don't be so polite. We are older than you, and given our status, how could we dare to accept your gift?"
Chen Qing smiled sweetly and distributed the packages in her hand one by one. "As for the proper etiquette, I don't know what the ladies would like, so I brought some gifts. Please don't think I'm being petty."
Yuan Hui accompanied her in choosing the gifts at the mall. There were four gifts in total. The most expensive one for Mr. Xu was a six-figure necklace, and the other three were of similar quality, all brooches worth five figures.
Since we don't know the identities of the people present, this is the least wrong approach.
In order to avoid trouble, Chen Qing swiped the card he had saved for many years, and his heart ached so much that it bled.
A slightly plump lady at the table praised, "You are so sensible. No wonder Mr. Jiang likes you."
Mr. Xu pulled Chen Qing to sit down and introduced them one by one.
The person who just spoke was Mrs. Huo, whose husband is a leader in the securities industry. The other two are the wife of the second-in-command of the district and the wife of a senior executive of the Yan Group.
Chen Qing frowned imperceptibly. Given the status of Mrs. Huo and the lady from the district, the gift should be too light. Besides, this card game was related to the Yan family, and she felt a little uneasy.
"Look." Mr. Xu lifted her wrist and said, "I'm telling you, this Nanhong is top quality. I won't believe it."
Mrs. Huo took a closer look and said, "Miss Chen has delicate skin and tender flesh. Even if it is not a top-grade bracelet, it is worth the price."
"Well, I thought the bracelet suited her perfectly. She looked so pretty, not like us at all."
Chen Qing was not used to such occasions, so he gritted his teeth and said a few polite words.
Judging from the time, Jiang Jingyan was about to adjourn the meeting.
Mr. Xu was about to continue, and glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, "Miss Chen, can you play cards? I'll leave the table, you can play a round."
"I'm not very good at it. I'm bound to lose if I play it."
"It's okay! If you lose, it's Mr. Jiang's fault, and if you win, it's yours. He's so busy that he doesn't even have time for his wife."
Chen Qing couldn't resist her hospitality and had to take her place.
At the end of the game, Chen Qing neither won nor lost.
"Not bad." Mr. Xu put down his teacup, "You guys play first, I'm going to the bathroom."
Chen Qing stared at the cards intently. These guys were big players and their wallets had just gotten thinner, so they couldn't afford to lose any more money.
Mr. Xu walked out of the box and went straight to the opposite side.
Two men in suits and ties, with beer bellies, sat behind the screen. When they saw her, they stood up and said, "Mr. Xu."
"Mr. Jiang's fiancée is here, and you still won't let go?"
