Xie Linchuan arrived at the airport half an hour early.
Assistant Li was also waiting there, along with the driver.
Jiang Tian is their boss, so naturally her subordinates would greet her at the airport when she returns.
Xie Linchuan has just taken office. If he doesn't even have this much sense, then he won't do. So he has to come this time.
If Assistant Li could remind him, that would be considered a kind gesture.
Upon arriving at the airport, they waited while keeping track of their time.
Before Xie Linchuan could react, he saw Assistant Li flash a perfect smile and walk up to him.
"President Jiang."
Jiang Tian was wearing a hat, glasses, and a mask. If you didn't know her situation very well, you wouldn't have been able to spot her immediately.
Xie Linchuan clenched his fist, so he didn't notice.
However, he didn't have time to think about it and quickly followed.
Jiang Tian nodded when she saw Assistant Li, and then looked at Xie Linchuan standing behind Assistant Li.
"You've come to pick me up, is the move all done?"
Xie Linchuan suddenly felt flattered, after all, Jiang Tian was the first person to speak to him.
He smiled, trying to appear like a normal, cheerful college student: "All done, sis."
He only managed to say that one sentence before he got stuck again, because he didn't know how to communicate with others, especially Jiang Tian, whom he had to treat with utmost care.
He discovered that his language skills were truly terrible.
Jiang Tian didn't seem to care: "Alright, let's go back. We haven't eaten yet. Let's find a place to eat together."
She was followed by other people, all dressed in an elite style, and her assistant was helping her push her suitcase.
When they boarded the bus, Xie Linchuan was specially arranged to sit next to Jiang Tian. Jiang Tian looked quite tired and didn't have time to talk to him.
Everyone remained quiet in the car. Xie Linchuan couldn't abruptly disturb Jiang Tian's rest time, so he also chose to keep quiet.
When they arrived at the location, they went inside together.
No one seemed surprised by Xie Linchuan's presence.
At the dinner table, Jiang Tian didn't seem so serious, but her presence still made everyone present very reserved. They seemed to be only there to eat their fill, without any other thoughts.
Perhaps this is the sense of authority that Jiang Tian's way of handling things brings them.
Jiang Tian finished eating quickly. Without looking at anyone else, she said to Xie Linchuan, "Are you full? If you're full, let's go back."
Xie Linchuan didn't have much of an appetite to begin with, and only ate a few bites. When he heard Jiang Tian say that she wanted to go back, he immediately stood up, nodded silently, and agreed to whatever Jiang Tian said.
"You guys enjoy your meal. Assistant Li, you can pay the bill later. We'll head back now."
Everyone quickly resumed the process and said goodbye to her.
However, it was obvious to the naked eye that Jiang Tian's departure made them feel much lighter, as if a huge stone had been lifted from their shoulders.
Jiang Tian greeted everyone with a smile, then led Xie Linchuan out of the private room.
Once they got downstairs, Xie Linchuan glanced at Jiang Tian beside him.
Jiang Tian happened to be looking at him too. She raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Not full? If you're not full, I'll take you somewhere else to eat."
Xie Linchuan wanted to shake his head, but he noticed a hint of expectation in Jiang Tian's eyes, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Then I'll take you out for barbecue, it's been a long time since we've had any."
Jiang Tian's smile deepened.
Xie Linchuan showed no surprise and replied, "Okay."
The two went to a very ordinary barbecue stall. Jiang Tian ordered some food, and Xie Linchuan ordered some more.
Xie Linchuan shook his head and said, "I'll eat with you. I'm not very familiar with the dishes here."
"Okay, I'll order for you."
Jiang Tian didn't make things difficult for him and ordered quite a lot more.
When the skewers were served, she dropped her bossy attitude and became very approachable.
She was dressed in an expensive-looking women's suit, which seemed out of place at this unassuming barbecue stall.
But she didn't seem uncomfortable at all.
"Try this grilled beef tendon, it's my favorite."
Xie Linchuan actually knew a lot about Jiang Tian, such as that she had lived a hard life before, and that she started from scratch and gradually grew into a powerful figure.
Xie Linchuan wasn't surprised at all when she invited him to eat this kind of food.
He readily took it, and after eating it, he sincerely praised it: "It's delicious."
Jiang Tian smiled and said, "It's only been a few days, but your ability to be a good straight man has improved a lot."
Xie Linchuan felt a little uncomfortable. Actually, he was also learning, but he didn't expect that Jiang Tian would see through his attempt so soon.
Jiang Tian seemed much more approachable and spoke more casually at the barbecue stall.
She has a big appetite; she finished everything she ordered.
Xie Linchuan also ate quite a bit with Jiang Tian.
If he keeps refusing to eat, what will become of him? Jiang Tian will definitely be unhappy, that's what he thought, and that's what he did.
But this barbecue place is really delicious; he doesn't usually eat these kinds of things.
Although he has severed ties with his family, that family has left many marks on him, and he still retains some habits that were instilled in him, such as not eating at roadside stalls.
This is the first time he's ever eaten this kind of thing.
The first time he ate barbecue was with Jiang Tian, and he was inexplicably excited.
The two of them didn't hire a driver; they walked back slowly.
This place wasn't too far from where they were staying. Jiang Tian asked Xie Linchuan if he could keep up physically, and Xie Linchuan immediately said he could.
He's not weak; how could he not keep up?
The two walked slowly, and Jiang Tian smiled and said to him, "Did you notice? Actually, those people are very respectful of me, afraid of upsetting me."
Xie Linchuan certainly saw through it; he wasn't stupid.
Those people felt more than just awe towards Jiang Tian; they were even somewhat afraid of her.
They wished they could stay away from her.
Is the pressure emanating from one person really that severe?
He actually thought Jiang Tian was quite nice.
"Because they were a group of elites I had just recruited, and it was the first time I took them on a business trip, they thought I was a monster and were very afraid of me. After all, in a sense, I held their fate in my hands. If I was unhappy and kicked them out of the team, they would have a hard time finding such high-paying jobs."
“My company is known for its high salaries in the industry, and I strictly respect the law, providing the maximum benefits. Such benefits are hard to find in the current job market, so they don’t want to leave. But they are also afraid of being found out for making mistakes, because I never let any small detail go unnoticed. You’ve probably heard the saying, ‘The world is a giant makeshift operation,’ right? My company doesn’t believe in that. If they make a mistake at work, I will absolutely not tolerate it.”
