Today was supposed to be a date for Jiang Xiaoli and her boyfriend, but due to an emergency at "307", all other date activities were canceled, leaving only dinner.
Jiang Chengle hesitated as soon as he reached the restaurant entrance. "Little Pear, I feel like there's something off about the atmosphere in this restaurant."
Jiang Xiaoli roughly shoved him, "If you're hungry, just eat your fill. Why worry about the atmosphere?"
Jiang Chengle sat awkwardly to the side of the two-person table reserved for couples, enduring the strange looks from those around him as he finished his very uneasy meal.
As he left the restaurant, he wiped non-existent sweat from his brow. "Finally finished eating."
Zong Jia asked very politely, "Brother Le, shall we take you home?"
Jiang Chengle thought for a moment and said, "My car is parked at the hospital. You can just take me there. It's on your way home anyway."
On the way, Jiang Xiaoli suddenly turned to ask, "Brother Le, how did you get that car into China? Was it troublesome?"
Jiang Chengle scratched his head. "It was all arranged by my uncle's assistant. I don't know anything about it. Little Pear, do you want to buy a sports car?"
Just as Jiang Xiaoli was about to nod and discuss the topic with him, she suddenly felt the driver glance at her almost imperceptibly.
She remembered that she had promised Zong Jia yesterday that she would no longer drive fast. She waved her hand awkwardly, "Sigh, why would I buy a sports car? I have nowhere to drive it anyway. I won't buy one!"
Jiang Chengle, however, was very interested in the topic. “Actually, I think a racing club is a great project. There are many young people in China who are interested in sports cars and racing. When I drive out, people often discuss this topic with me. It’s just that when I mentioned this idea to my uncle, he rejected it.”
Jiang Xiaoli nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, the club's investment is too large and the return is too slow. With that time, my uncle could have doubled his returns in the stock market with the same amount of capital."
“Yes.” Jiang Chengle sighed. “Only people who are truly passionate about this industry can invest in these kinds of projects and stick with them for a while.”
Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, Zong Jiayu stopped the car and let Jiang Chengle out.
Back home, Jiang Xiaoli was tied up and taken back to his house.
Zong Jia felt that he was in a rush yesterday and didn't give his girlfriend enough safety education about driving.
He repeatedly emphasized to her the dangers of driving fast in the city and the risks of sports cars and race cars.
When Jiang Xiaoli was allowed to go home, she felt her whole head was buzzing.
She walked upstairs with heavy steps to open the door.
Seeing her like this, Li Guizhi was a little puzzled. "What's wrong with you?"
Lying on the sofa, Jiang Xiaoli asked in a low voice, "Mom, do you remember the movie 'A Chinese Odyssey'?"
Li Guizhi nodded. "Yes, that one is pretty funny."
“Yes.” She continued, “You also remember that very talkative Tang Sanzang from inside, right?”
"Hmm, what's wrong?"
She sighed, "I discovered today that when Zong Jia and Comrade Zong get carried away, they're even more long-winded than Tang Sanzang. My head is about to turn to mush from all their nagging."
Li Guizhi was speechless. She had reservations about her daughter's statement. "I've known Xiao Zong for a long time. Could Xiao Zong be that kind of person? Even if he's nagging you, it's because you never learn your lesson!"
Jiang Xiaoli clutched her head and wailed, "Mom, I feel like you've changed."
How have I changed?
"Now that you have a son-in-law, you don't need your daughter anymore!"
Li Guizhi flicked her forehead, both amused and annoyed. "What nonsense are you talking about! Xiao Zong is more mature and composed than you. Am I wrong?"
She let out a soft sigh. "Experience has taught us not to let our partner get along too well with our family, because family members can easily switch sides!"
Li Guizhi was speechless. "You're full of twisted logic!"
...
On Monday morning, Jiang Xiaoli arrived at the "307" design department.
When she arrived, the design department was already there. She asked curiously, "Why are you here so early?"
Several designers with dark circles under their eyes, who were slumped in their chairs racking their brains to figure out how to revise their design drafts, immediately sat up straight when they heard her voice.
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "Don't panic, don't panic. Be careful not to fall and hurt yourself, or I'll have to reimburse your medical expenses."
Huang Siyu tidied her hair and pushed up her glasses. "President Jiang, um... we worked too late last night and didn't go home. We don't look very presentable. Please don't mind."
Jiang Xiaoli raised an eyebrow. "Worked overtime all night?"
Feng Can quickly looked at himself in the small mirror next to the girl and replied, "I also dozed off for a while while lying down."
Seeing how hard they were working for the company, Jiang Xiaoli was moved. She clapped her hands and said, "Thank you all for your contributions to the company. I'll ask the cafeteria to cook a delicious meal for everyone at noon."
Feng Can smiled and said, "Thank you, President Jiang!"
She smiled and said, "I'll have someone buy some toiletries later, so everyone can freshen up and greet the new day with a brand new look."
She returned to her office, and Ren Zhiyi arrived shortly after.
Jiang Xiaoli said with a smile, "It's not easy for you to get a day off, so please work hard today and try to finish drawing the necessary design drafts in one day."
Ren Zhiyi nodded. "I made a promise to Fang Yong before I could ask for a day off. We must finish this today."
After reaching a consensus, the two immediately got to work.
When "307" was first established, all the clothing designs were dictated by Jiang Xiaoli and drawn by Ren Zhiyi. The two worked together very well.
By noon, the two of them had completed the design of nine sets of autumn outfits.
Jiang Xiaoli kept her head tilted to watch her draw. She rubbed her crooked neck and said, "Let's stop here for now and continue after we finish eating."
Upon arriving at the cafeteria, the two of them first went to the large private room to greet the design department staff.
Jiang Xiaoli, holding her drink, said, "I've seen everyone's performance these past two days, and on behalf of the company, I thank you all!"
Ren Zhiyi also spoke up, "In the next few days, the company will strengthen logistical support for everyone. Please feel free to raise any needs you may have, and we will try our best to meet them."
Everyone expressed their gratitude to the two bosses.
The two of them returned to Jiang Xiaoli's private room, and Ren Zhiyi asked, "Xiaoli, do you have anyone you suspect right now?"
Jiang Xiaoli nodded, "Yes, but I'm not sure yet. My deadline for submitting the manuscript to them is tomorrow. We'll see how things go then."
Ren Zhiyi nodded. "I hope we can successfully lure the snake out this time."
She smiled slightly, "Don't worry, after causing us such a big setback, the person who did it won't give up and keep making us suffer setbacks."
