Seeing Lan Shuang lowering her head, Jiang Lusheng couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Do you think this counts as throwing it away after use?"
Lan Shuang raised her eyes in confusion: "Huh? Do I have it?"
Jiang Lusheng's smile grew even wider. "No?"
Lan Shuang blinked: "No."
Jiang Lusheng put his fist to his lips to hide his smile, "Well, if you say no, then no."
This time Lan Shuang also smiled, "Brother Jiang, are you here to see me today?"
Jiang Lusheng retaliated, his hands in his pockets, and asked coldly, "What else?"
"Aren't you coming to see me?"
Lan Shuang tilted her head to look at him, and Jiang Lusheng also tilted his head, "No."
Lan Shuang stared at him for a while, then spread her hands and said, "Alright, if you say it's not true, then it's not true."
Then the two of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
So childish, just like two children imitating each other.
888: "Host, you finally discovered it."
Lan Shuang: "But it's very interesting, isn't it?"
888: "...I just felt like cold dog food was randomly slapped on my face."
Lan Shuang couldn't help laughing. Just then, the elevator door opened. She went out first, touched her face, and made herself look more serious.
"Where are you going?" Lan Shuang turned to look at Jiang Lusheng. Jiang Lusheng came over, made a "please" gesture and said, "Get in the car."
Lan Shuang didn't bother to be polite with him. After walking over, Jiang Lusheng stepped over her and opened the car door. He protected her head with one hand and said, "Co-pilot, please—"
Lan Shuang smiled and got in. Jiang Lusheng helped her close the car door before getting into the driving seat. After fastening her seat belt, she stepped on the accelerator and drove in the opposite direction.
Lan Shuang had never been here before, so it felt a bit unfamiliar. Jiang Lusheng turned on the car music and asked, "What do you want to listen to?"
"Anything is fine." Lan Shuang adjusted the music herself and chose a light and cheerful piano piece.
Jiang Lusheng took a look and wrote down the name of the song.
"You are interning here. What are your plans for the future?" Jiang Lusheng asked casually.
Lan Shuang casually replied, "I'll learn first, and then maybe I can open a small company and design things I like, or I can join the company directly. It depends on my mood."
Jiang Lusheng looked intently at the road ahead and said, "I think it's good to start my own company. It won't be tiring, and it's a decent job. It's fulfilling and happy. It's a good idea."
"Thank you. Aren't you running your own company now?" Lan Shuang asked Jiang Lusheng, "Your Jiang family has a large business. Don't you consider inheriting the family business in the future?"
"The family business was built by my parents and ancestors for generations. It doesn't really have much to do with me. It doesn't matter whether I inherit it or not. My parents think the same way. If I don't want the inheritance in the future, they don't mind if I donate it all. They have a very free-spirited mindset."
Jiang Lusheng had a faint smile on his face. "As for my own company, they are very supportive. They say it's good for young people to venture out and try their luck. Only by taking responsibility for the good and the bad can they make progress. Creating value with their own hands is more joyful than inheriting a family business."
"Yeah, they're right."
Lan Shuang quite agrees with this point of view, so she doesn’t want to keep working in the company at home. She wants to go out and try her luck.
"If you start a company, can I invest in it?" Jiang Lusheng asked with a smile, "I don't think I'll lose money."
"OK."
Lan Shuang agreed readily.
…
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of an antique-looking hot pot restaurant.
Lan Shuang was stunned. "So down-to-earth? Wouldn't it be a bit awkward to go back to the company smelling like hot pot?"
Jiang Lusheng handed the keys to the waiter who came out and asked him to park the car. He said to Lan Shuang, "You don't have to go back. Your original mission this afternoon was to accompany me, a big client, to sign a contract and have dinner. Now you are fulfilling your obligations, so it doesn't matter when you go back or whether you go back at all."
Jiang Lusheng smiled and opened the door for her and said, "Come on, I have a surprise prepared for you in the private room."
Lan Shuang's curiosity was now aroused by him. She followed Jiang Lusheng to the private room on the second floor and found that the curtains inside were drawn tightly. They were blackout curtains. The whole room was dark and she could not see anything clearly.
"This is……"
Before she could ask, Jiang Lusheng suddenly covered her eyes from behind and said to the waiter behind her: "You can bring it in."
"OK."
Lan Shuang was half wrapped in Jiang Lusheng's arms, and was surrounded by the faint scent of Jiang Lusheng's perfume, which was not irritating or heavy. It was like the gentle sea and the free wind, making people feel very comfortable.
Soon, I heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, and something was placed on the table. A little light could be vaguely seen through the gaps between my fingers.
"Okay, all of you get out."
"Okay, enjoy your meal, both of you. Just ring the bell if you need anything."
The waiter left and closed the door, and the room suddenly became quiet.
The sound of breathing became clearer.
Jiang Lusheng chuckled in Lan Shuang's ear, "Today is your first day at work. Every first time in life is worth remembering, so I prepared a cake for you. Congratulations to our Tiantian on officially entering society from a college student and officially transitioning to adulthood both physically and mentally."
As he finished speaking, he put down his hand, and the light just now reflected in Lan Shuang's eyes, like scattered stars.
Lan Shuang looked at the beautiful cake in front of her in surprise. There was no fancy decoration on it, just full of fruits, with a small heart-shaped card inserted on it and candles burning around it.
She walked forward and took out the small card, and looked at it in the light of the candle. On it was written in very elegant and handsome handwriting: I wish you good luck at work.
Lan Shuang couldn't help but rub the four words with her thumb. They were simple, without any fancy words, but they touched her deeply.
Although these things were dispensable, and although the meal was not expensive and not worth mentioning for a family like hers and Jiang Lusheng's, the ceremony was important.
She suddenly understood why there were various customs during festivals and holidays. The sense of ritual can enhance the sense of happiness.
Romance never goes out of style.
Jiang Lusheng watched Lan Shuang staring intently at the cake, and suddenly picked up a bouquet of flowers from a chair, "Tiantian."
"Huh?" Lan Shuang turned around and was attacked by a bunch of roses.
It is still a red rose, with a rich fragrance and blooming in full swing.
Lan Shuang couldn't help laughing: "How many flowers do you have left?"
Jiang Lusheng didn't answer, but said: "Blow out the candle, it will burn out soon."
"Um."
Lan Shuang turned around to blow out the candles, but after a moment's thought, she said, "Please take a picture for me first. This is such a memorable day, we need to take a picture to record it."
Jiang Lusheng raised an eyebrow and agreed happily: "Okay."
He picked up his phone, adjusted the parameters, found several angles on the spot, and took several photos in succession.
