Chapter 5, come to me, or let me reside in the depths of your heart

Bang! The black thermos was heavily slammed onto the table. Lu Ai glanced at the boss's face and, frightened, quickly said: "However, Tan Qing is on leave today, so she definitely won't be able to make it tonight"

Understood. Lu Ai responded and recalled Tianlin's contract, then asked, "Should we invite General Manager Zhai from Tianlin Group?"

The two individuals locked eyes, and the person outside the window exchanged a warm smile, giving a slight nod in his direction. Jiang Yuanyao also responded lightly, setting down his chopsticks and calling out to Tan Qing.

Seeing his somewhat sour expression, Tan Qing smiled and said, "What strange thoughts do you have? There is nothing between him and me..."

Tan Qing raised her head and turned her face at Jiang Yuan Yao's gesture. She saw Ji Lang and instantly smiled, dropping her chopsticks, grabbing a tissue, wiping her mouth, and preparing to stand up

Jiang Yuanyao glared at him coldly, "Zhai, your bad habit of flirting with others has not changed. Next time, it won't just be me who will beat you up." After saying this, she tilted her chin at him, "That woman, you'd better not even think about her."

Why? Eating at such an odd time, Tan Qing felt increasingly perplexed

He was startled by her, thinking that something monumental had occurred. The momentary confusion was soon replaced by a wave of tenderness. He gently embraced her, his hands softly stroking her back, saying, "There, there, it's alright!"

Xiao Zhong turned his head and said, "Aren't we waiting for General Jiang?"

Tan Qing?" Wu Wenwen quickly scanned the room and continued to take attendance until she put away the register and reported to Jiang Yuanyao, "Manager Jiang, except for the new assistant in the marketing department, Tan Qing, everyone else is in position.

The changes were so rapid that everyone was taken aback, and their gazes towards Tan Qing were filled with various meanings. Tan Qing stood frozen in place, momentarily at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, the central figure spoke up, timely alleviating her embarrassment: "Is there anything else? If not, the meeting is adjourned"

Ji Lang glanced at her, her spirited appearance resembling that of a little girl who had fallen in love. He sighed inwardly and pressed down on the accelerator. Perhaps this step was indeed a mistake on his part

The insects fly

Whom are you missing

Two people are sitting face to face by the glass window. The soup dumplings from this time-honored brand have thin skins, abundant juice, and fragrant filling. Tan Qing took a bite and found it so delicious that she felt like biting her own tongue off

He must have been too exhausted, so when Tan Qing's hand quietly traced his straight nose and soft lips, he remained unaware.

"We need to expedite the exhibition arrangements and immediately schedule a dinner with several major clients tonight." He rubbed his temples and added, "Inform Director Xiao to pay attention to the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau; we must not lose the hosting rights."

Seeing that she had emerged from the nightmare, Jiang Yuanyao felt relieved, stood up, and softly said: "It is almost dawn, let's sleep a little longer"

Tan Qing was preoccupied with eating, nodding her head in a muffled manner

Lü Ai moved her lips, but in her heart she thought: Seeing you smile so charmingly at the mention of Tan Qing, it seems you have already fallen for her...

Beside her, Lv Ai chuckled, "Manager Zhao really has no filter! It's one thing to criticize Tan Qing behind her back, but to even insult the boss is quite something. You say Tan Qing is nothing special, but anyone with eyes can see that General Manager Zhai from Tianlin is clearly here for her, right?" Seeing Zhao Yuan's anxious and pale face, ready to retort, she waved her hand, "Why don't you give it a try and see if General Manager Zhai would name our joint exhibition after you?"

The meeting has concluded. Tan Qing, filled with thoughts, trailed behind the crowd. Suddenly, the big boss, who had already stepped out the door, turned around and pointed into the crowd: "You, come here!"

The roses on the ground are withering

"First, wipe your face; you look like a crying cat." He said softly, "Even the greatest of troubles will pass, not to mention that I am here with you."

Tan Qing was breathing heavily, her chest gradually calming down. She nodded and said: "I dreamt of my parents, I dreamt that they were arguing fiercely, my father hit my mother, and then, a truck came rushing over..."

Tan Qing was somewhat surprised to hear the words "discouragement" and turned her gaze towards Jiang Yuanyao, only to find him looking at her with a leisurely expression.

Tan Qing's lips twitched, unable to believe that he actually loved the soup dumplings from the street vendor

Lu Ai looked at his weary appearance and could not help but advise, "You should go back and rest! I will handle the work matters tomorrow..."

However, since Jiang Yuanyao is also going, it is probably his intention

Jiang Yuan looked at her frantically pulling open drawer after drawer, feeling somewhat powerless, yet more heartbroken. Suddenly he said, "Tan Qing, let me sing you a song."

"Because I am hungry," Jiang Yuanyao said impatiently as he pulled her slightly. The two entered the elevator, and in the enclosed space, Tan Qing could only hear her own breathing and the pounding of her heart in her chest.

Jiang Yuanyao whispered a few words to Lu Ai, and after she put away the documents and left, he raised his eyes to look at her again: "Come here"

His gaze turned gloomy, how did she come here? She was wearing a lake blue sleeveless long dress and nude pink strappy high heels, her hair and face were clearly well-groomed, and her bright brows and eyes shone in the evening glow, making her appear even more stunning. However, he felt a surge of anger inside: dressed like this, did she think she was here for a date?

Tan Qing gently leaned in, pecking at the perfect corner of his mouth, and then quickly closed her eyes, continuing to pretend to sleep on his shoulder

"I know Mr. Zhai has something to say, please go ahead!" He casually raised his hand and ordered a glass of lemonade from the waiter

Zhao Yan's face instantly turned a myriad of colors, and she awkwardly retreated to an empty seat at the lower end.

Her eyes were swollen and red, clearly having just cried. On the phone, he heard a man's voice... What happened to her

Amidst the gaze of many, Tan Qing lowered her head, her face slightly flushed as she squeezed her way out of the crowd, quietly following behind Jiang Yuanyao.

At 6 PM at the Oulan Hotel. It is said that General Jiang will personally attend, and the CEOs of several companies have agreed to the appointment, only Tianlin...

However, ... ... Lyu Ai Yuan originally wanted to say that Tian Lin's annual investment accounts for at least ten percent of the company's total revenue, and losing such a major client would indeed be a pity. But looking at the face in front of her, she swallowed her words, simply nodded in agreement, and then sent the receptionist out to buy cold medicine.

General Jiang, the person has already arrived, why not consider giving up on the idea of persuading her to leave? Let her stay in the marketing department and give it a try? Xiao Ran, having been entrusted with this task, must do her utmost to help Tan Qing keep her job

He strode forward. Under the dazzling lights of the Oulan Hotel lobby, Tan Qing appeared anxious. He gently took her hand, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Let’s go."

Lü Ai, standing to the side, silently cursed the situation, not knowing who lacked discernment and informed Tan Qing; this was bound to cause trouble

Tan Qing was utterly confused and murmured softly, "Wasn't I called here to socialize..."

Tan Qing cried for a while, her emotions gradually stabilizing as she rubbed her swollen and painful eye sockets. At that moment, a warm towel was handed to her, and Jiang Yuanyao had taken off his suit jacket, with the sleeves of his shirt rolled up, revealing a section of his long and fair arm

Jiang Yuanyao sat on the leather chair, resting her chin on her hand, a hint of a playful smile at the corners of her lips. Indeed, every appearance she made in public was so striking, so captivating.

He put down his hands, sat up straight, and slightly furrowed his brows, having lost both parents... Remembering how she looked when she woke up from a nightmare last night, his heart ached involuntarily. Lu Ai noticed his distracted state and tentatively called out: "President Jiang."

Who is the other party

Zhai Tianzhao's gaze swept heavily across Jiang Yuanyao's face, their eyes locking in a stare—one dark, the other cold. As Tan Qing approached, Jiang Yuanyao reached out and pulled her in, as if it were the most natural thing in the world to guide her into the seat.

Tan Qing lowered her eyes, and the summer breeze swept through her long hair, causing a few fragrant strands to brush against Ji Lang's face, making his heart skip a beat. She said, "It's nothing, it's all in the past."

Wait! He also took out a piece of paper, smiling as he called to her, "Come closer with your face!"

"Yes, her name is Tan Qing," Wu Wenwen quickly replied. "I have already informed her to come to work today. According to the regulations, if she is late or absent without reason on her first day, she will be advised to resign." She glanced at her watch, displaying a brisk and businesslike demeanor. "It is now 9:15. I will call her to inform her that she need not come anymore."

Jiang Yuanyao waved his hand and said, "Just go help me buy some medicine. How is the client contact going?"

Regardless of whether one is tired or not

Zhai Tianzhao was fully convinced that he had persuaded this young CEO; after all, aren't businessmen just motivated by profit? He smiled, revealing his smoke-stained yellow teeth: "As long as this order is handed over to Tan Qing, that will suffice"

Zhu Qi

The cold wind blows

As long as you are by my side

Tan Qing nodded slightly, and her previously tightly furrowed heart seemed to be gradually smoothed by his singing. She smiled at him gratefully and said, "Much better, thank you."

No response from anyone

Who is knocking on the door so late

"Where to?" Tan Qing blinked her eyes.

He is truly very worried, fearing that she might suffer even the slightest harm. Tan Qing shook her head, saying, "No. Although the process was quite perilous, I managed to escape."

Zhai Tianzhao extinguished the cigarette butt and smiled at him: "President Jiang, you are straightforward! However, what I am about to say may not please you. I have taken a liking to your company's Tan Qing."

Tan Qing cried herself to sleep without realizing when it happened. In a daze, she heard the door being knocked with a sound that shook the mountains. She suddenly woke up from her dream, opened her eyes wide, and found herself in her own room, letting out a sigh of relief.

It seems that whenever Tianlin is mentioned, the boss's expression becomes rather unfavorable. Lv Ai steadied her mind and said, "The people from Tianlin hope to see our company's Tanqing tonight..."

Oh. Jiang Yuanyao only uttered this one syllable, leaving the people below puzzled about its meaning. He furrowed his brows slightly, and his fingertips habitually tapped lightly on the table, producing a rhythmic sound. After a long while, he raised his head, just about to speak, when suddenly the door of the conference room was pushed open with a loud bang, and a petite figure rushed in quickly, standing firmly in front of the crowd

"What are you doing?" she asked, yet obediently leaned forward. Jiang Yuanyao gently wiped the corner of her mouth with his hand, removing a bit of leftover soup, and then smiled gently, saying: "Go ahead. Today, I grant you a day off."

Are you feeling better today

Only then did Jiang Yuanyao's expression ease, and he spoke slowly: "Find someone to carefully examine the contract with Tianlin. If it can be renewed, then renew it; if not, let him go!"

He wore a light gray shirt; although his complexion appeared weary, he still maintained a good spirit as he sat in the leather chair at the head of the conference room, listening to the reports from various departments.

The dark sky hangs low

He looked at her, her pale little face, her eyes still somewhat puffy. Thinking about how late she had stayed up last night, he was sure she hadn't eaten breakfast this morning, so he pressed the elevator button and gestured with his eyes for her to enter.

I apologize for being late! Greetings to all colleagues, I am Tan Qing, the assistant to the director of the marketing department

As it approached 9 o'clock, the gathering dispersed. Jiang Yuanyao sent off a few clients, and upon turning around, he saw Zhai Tianzhao sitting in the hotel lobby with a cigar between his fingers, casually crossing his legs. Upon noticing Jiang's approach, he slowly called out, "President Jiang".

When he said "my people," he suddenly felt a sharp gaze directed at his face, and thus he awkwardly said, "I would like to ask President Jiang to make the decision."

All the fears she had experienced seemed to have faded away, replaced by a gentle sweetness and happiness that began to fill her heart. Tan Qing gazed at the man before her and murmured, "They all said you wouldn't be back until next month, so I didn't dare to call you..."

Others laughed with a mix of sincerity and insincerity. Only Zhai Tianzhao let out a cold laugh and said, "I must admit, I was unaware of your relationship with General Jiang when I had dinner with Miss Tan yesterday; I had thought Miss Tan was single."

Jiang Yuanyao felt a surge of anger in his heart. Looking at Tan Qing, who appeared utterly stunned, she seemed as helpless as a hamster caught by someone. He suppressed his emotions, and seeing guests arriving one after another at the door as scheduled, he had no choice but to put on a smile and greet the guests as they entered the elegant room.

She did not know when she had been placed on the bed in the bedroom, while Jiang Yuanyao had probably just rushed over from the living room, hurrying so much that he had not even put on his shoes

The mother suddenly proposed to take her to Europe for a trip. In choosing the destination, the father and mother began to argue again, one wanting to go to the Aegean Sea and the other insisting on going to Norway. On the way to the airport to buy tickets, the father, who was driving, and the mother were arguing all the way. Suddenly, a large truck came rushing out from the intersection, and the father, who should have braked at the intersection, grabbed the ornament in front of the car and... angrily threw it at his wife...

Suddenly, a large truck came rushing out from the intersection, and the father, who should have braked at the intersection, grabbed the ornament in front of the car and... angrily threw it at his wife...

"Xiao Zhong, take her back!" Jiang Yuan Yao said, raising his chin towards the driver behind him

A client made a joke, and President Jiang personally hosted the event, even bringing his wife along, which truly gave us a lot of face

Someone is looking for you

Tan Qing gazed out of the window, where the faint light of dawn was already visible in the east, and thus obediently nodded, "You should also take a nap!"

Tan Qing gazed at his face, which was not smiling yet exuded an immense tenderness. A certain emotion surged within her heart, making her yearn to leap forward once more, to embrace him tightly without a care for anything else, and then to say to him, Jiang Yuan Yao, in truth, I really like you

"Since Miss Tan has arrived, how could there be any reason to drive her away!" A deep, somber male voice echoed from behind. Everyone turned around to see a man in his thirties, with a pair of deep brown eyes that held a smile, fixed on Tan Qing.

to.

Suddenly, he spoke, his voice clear yet gentle

I fear only a broken heart

The bright stars accompany me

"Just kidding! Go to sleep, I'm right outside!" After he finished speaking, he exited the room and gently closed the door

He also picked up one, dipped it in the vinegar dish, and was just about to take a bite when he looked up and saw a person standing outside the glass window, a pair of dark eyes gazing at them.

He listened attentively to what he said, a faint smile on his face: "President Zhai is generous, and then?"

"Why aren't you resting at home properly? What are you doing here?" He frowned and stared at her with displeasure

As the dawn gradually brightened, Tan Qing peacefully fell asleep amidst the sound of chirping birds, while Jiang Yuanyao in the living room got up, picked up his coat, and quietly opened the door to leave

He raised his hand to press the car key, his tone somewhat bizarre, "You get along so well with Jiang Yuanyao, why do you blame me for letting you into Yuezhong?"

Zhai Tianzhao waved his hand and said, "You jest! What kind of person is General Jiang? No matter how lacking I am, I would never dare to touch General Jiang's woman!"

Tan Qing did not quite understand his meaning and was about to ask again when the elevator door opened. He took her hand and stepped out, his tone cheerful: "What do you love to eat? There is a shop nearby, their soup dumplings are exceptional, if we wait too long, they might be sold out..."

8:30 AM is the time for the weekly company meeting held every Monday

Indeed, she is increasingly finding herself attracted to him now

Do not fear the darkness

However, the boss approved my day off today

Ah? She had not yet recovered from his gentle little gestures when she suddenly heard him say to take a day off for herself. Tan Qing felt embarrassed and said, "Isn't that inappropriate? It's only the first day of work."

Until the summer vacation of the year I turned nine

That gaze, though restrained, ultimately cannot conceal the naked desire

"Jiang Yuanyao." She called softly

Tan Qing saw him hurrying over, her smile tinged with a hint of shyness, "President Jiang."

Eat

He bluntly revealed his ugly intentions without the slightest attempt to conceal them, even staring provocatively at Jiang Yuanyao.

The crimson glow of the sunset cast its light upon the horizon of the city. As Tan Qingping gracefully stepped out of the taxi, she coincidentally caught the eye of Jiang Yuanyao, who had just alighted and was about to enter the hotel.

Jiang Yuanyao stepped forward, wrapping his arms tightly around her. Although he did not speak, the unique scent and warmth that belonged to a man made Tan Qing feel a profound sense of security

In the stillness of the night, the moonlight seeped through the window. Tan Qing opened her eyes and quietly observed the man who was slumped against the back of the sofa, soundly asleep.

Jiang Yuanyao smiled at her with a look of pride, saying, "How is it?"

At that time, even time itself was shrouded in darkness, resembling the eternally cold face of her father and the dim, mournful eyes of her mother. Thus, Tan Qing understood the meanings of terms like "resentful couple" and "outwardly harmonious but inwardly estranged" very early on, for in her heart, they represented her parents.

In the late morning, the snack shop was surprisingly bustling with business. The clean shopfront, coupled with the enticing aroma that wafted into the air, made Tan Qing swallow her saliva in a rather undignified manner

Tan Qing waved at him, but did not receive a response. Just as she was wondering if he was a bit unhappy, Ji Lang had already pushed open the shop door and took her hand.

Zhao Yan let out a cold snort, turning her head away, refusing to speak to them. Lu Ai in the back row stifled a laugh: "Manager Zhao has her own car. Xiao Zhong, be ready to take General Manager Jiang's call anytime after we return."

Xiao Zhong responded with a sound. Lu Ai looked at Zhao Yan's figure in the rearview mirror, feeling quite pleased. This woman, relying on her beauty and her father being a shareholder of the company, always points fingers and is both meddlesome and annoying. Today, I clearly stated that Tan Qing did not need to attend, yet Zhao Yan, for some unknown reason, took it upon herself to call Tan Qing over. As a result, this incident has ruined the contract with Tian Lin, and she blames others for it. Today, I clearly stated that Tan Qing did not need to attend, yet Zhao Yan, for some unknown reason, took it upon herself to call Tan Qing over. As a result, this incident has ruined the contract with Tian Lin, and she blames others for it.

Tan Qing still remembers some vague fragments from before she turned nine. She got lost on the street with her mother, and when the police brought her in front of her mother, she cried just like this—finally able to feel at ease and reassured. Even with all the grievances and complaints, she was reborn simply because she found you

The stars in the sky are shedding tears

The employees of Yuezhong stared in astonishment at the figures leaving together. Zhao Yuan, furious, raised her eyebrows and stomped her foot, saying angrily: "Has President Jiang's vision been obscured? What is Tan Qing even worth to warrant such a violent reaction from him! Now look, the two million we had in hand is gone!"

Jiang Yuanyao turned and walked away. Zhai Tianzhao exclaimed and grabbed him, but unexpectedly, the other party suddenly turned around and struck him hard in the face with a punch

... ...

to

Tan Qing fastened her seatbelt and said, "Take me home, President Jiang has given me a day off."

What should have been a sweet evening, but Tan Qing instead dreamt of the time before she was nine years old

He waved his hand to stop, cleared his throat, feeling a bit of dryness and pain in his throat. As he spoke, his nose felt a bit stuffy: "Go ahead, how is the investigation?"

A pair of people who do not love each other mistakenly live together and mistakenly give birth to her. Before the age of nine, her life was spent amidst endless arguments, cold wars, and mutual curses

He no longer delved deeper and simply asked, "Are you going back to the company? I can give you a ride"

She understood that he was referring to last night's incident, and thus nodded, saying, "It's nothing." Then she recalled the mention of Tianlin Group in the earlier meeting and couldn't help but ask, "Does the company have a partnership with Tianlin?"

Zhai Jiangyuan paused his steps, his gaze meeting Tan Qing in the distance, keenly sensing a hint of fear. He squinted his eyes, concealing the disdain beneath, and said coldly: "Alright, I will handle this person."

Did you have a nightmare? He held her hand

He smiled, his gaze turning towards the bed: "Why not together?"

She closed her eyes, unwilling to recall the scene from many years ago, yet that person and that event seemed to have come back to life, insisting on replaying themselves in her mind. Her head throbbed painfully, and she felt like smashing it against the wall, jumping off the bed and pacing around the room like a trapped beast.

All newly hired personnel in the Human Resources Department are now in place, and attendance is being taken... The Assistant to the Director of Human Resources, Wu Wenwen, is calling out names from the employee roster one by one

She thought the BOSS would casually nod as usual. Unexpectedly, he tapped his long fingers on the table and slightly furrowed his brows: "What did you say? The marketing department has a new assistant? What is their name?"

Tan Qing suddenly remembered that it was Zhao Yan who called to inform her this afternoon! ... Judging by Jiang Yuanyao's reaction just now, it seemed that he didn't want her to come at all. What is this woman surnamed Zhao up to...

Jiang Yuanyao drove home, took a shower, changed into a set of clothes, and then hurried to the company

He paused for a moment and said, "You need not worry; I am confident about this matter."

As Lu Ai stepped out of the office, he heavily leaned back into his chair, feeling dizzy and experiencing significant pain, likely due to having slept on the sofa at Tan Qing's house last night and catching a chill. Jiang Yuanyao touched his forehead, felt a bit warm, and, too lazy to call someone to fetch medicine, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

regardless of east, south, west, or north

Lü Ai pondered for a moment: "Ji Lang is indeed the only son of Ji Yunkai. This person, General Jiang, you must be cautious of; he has returned to establish the Qinglang Group, clearly intending to oppose us." Seeing that he had no reaction and appeared quite fatigued, Lü Ai quickened his pace, "Tan Qing lost both parents at the age of nine and was fostered by the Ji family until Ji Yunkai passed away four years ago."

The insects fly, the insects fly

Cough cough... Well, Assistant Wu," said Xiao Ran, the director of the marketing department, "isn't it unnecessary to be so heartless? Let's wait for the person to arrive and ask before making a decision. After all, Tan Qing is one of my people.

At six o'clock sharp, Jiang Yuanyao emerged from the office, his tall and upright figure clad in a suit and leather shoes. Although his expression appeared somewhat haggard, it did not detract from his graceful and dashing demeanor.

Too much lemon was added, and Jiang Yuanyao took a sip, finding it so sour that it made his teeth ache. He furrowed his brows slightly but then smiled: "That won't do! Tan Qing is my girlfriend, is General Zhai openly trying to steal my woman?"

As the small hour hand shrank, he straightened his body and started the engine, shouting cheerfully to Zhao Yuan, who was standing by the roadside with a stiff and cold expression: "Manager Zhao, are you heading back? I can give you a ride for a bit!"

He is still unaware of what has happened, but judging by the situation, he must have suffered some harm. He forces himself to calm down, watching her shoulders tremble from crying, and his heart cannot help but ache with a twinge of pain.

Seeing her expression of difficulty, Jiang Yuanyao cast a glance at her and asked, "What is the matter?"

As far as I know, Tan Qing is a dance student, and coming to Yuezhong was instructed by Ji Lang. Qinglang Company is ambitious, and for this spring RV exhibition, they have already begun to compete for clients. "Lü Aiman paused with concern, "President Jiang, it seems inappropriate to have Tan Qing by your side. I am worried..." Remembering the gentle and passionate gaze her boss had directed at that girl during the morning meeting, she mustered her courage and said, "Perhaps she is sent by Qinglang to use her beauty to charm you!" "President Jiang, it seems inappropriate to have Tan Qing by your side. I am worried..." Remembering the gentle and passionate gaze her boss had directed at that girl during the morning meeting, she mustered her courage and said, "Perhaps she is sent by Qinglang to use her beauty to charm you!"

Thinking of Tan Qing's appearance as she walked out, glancing back three times, Ji Lang's smile faded into a somber expression, and he half-jokingly said: "You shouldn't blame me for this now, right?"

Continue speaking

Lü Ai prepared lunch in the afternoon and poured him a cup of hot water, "I will call the driver to take you to the hospital!"

Ah?

"We have only just begun as well," he suddenly interrupted her, his right hand open as he tightly grasped Tan Qing's left hand. With his other hand, he lifted his wine glass, casting a glance at Tan Qing beside him, a gentle smile gracing his lips. "Come, let us first toast to all the esteemed executives!"

The manager of the public relations department, the director of the marketing department, the assistant secretary, and four or five others followed Jiang Yuanyao downstairs, heading straight for the Oulan Hotel

Painkillers, painkillers," she shouted, "I remember there was a box of ibuprofen, where did it go...

She opened the door, and a man in a suit and gray shirt, looking weary and with a worried expression, gazed at her and asked, "What happened?"

Is President Jiang trying to persuade me to resign? Looking at Jiang Yuanyao's unsightly expression, Tan Qing felt a bit regretful for not telling him about this matter last night, and her voice involuntarily became somewhat weak

Therefore, one must rest adequately so that one can work in good condition tomorrow. Go on, don't keep people waiting too long.

After Lü Ai finished speaking, she smiled slightly, disregarding Zhao Yan, and got into the car. She said to the driver, Xiao Zhong, "Please take me home first"

Zhang Min

"So what if he is single? It seems that Mr. Zhai's reputation for being a womanizer is well-deserved. With a beautiful wife by his side, could he possibly be harboring intentions towards Miss Tan?" Someone laughed heartily, completely oblivious to the fact that the host's expression had turned as cold as ice.

Well, I might have a slight cold

The cold wind blows

He glanced at Tan Qing, who was standing at the door, seemingly engaged in conversation with Lu Ai, her head lowered and quietly composed, not looking this way. He let out a slight sigh of relief and walked over to sit casually on the sofa opposite Zhai Tianzhao.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Tan Qing clenched her fist, which was already soaked with sweat under the table, and began to explain: "Actually, I and General Manager Jiang..."

Zhai Tianzhao's gaze was fixed on her like an X-ray, leaving Tan Qing with no chance of escape. Zhao Yan, the manager of the public relations department, kept nudging her with her elbow and said with a wink, "Hurry inside! This Mr. Zhai is the company's fortune god, so make sure to accompany him well and don't offend him!"

Jiang Yuanyao took her hand and gently wiped it with a towel, saying, "I had just gotten off the plane when you called." After a slight pause, his gaze became serious, "I heard a man on the phone." He stopped, looking at Tan Qing curled up on the sofa, and hesitantly asked, "You... are you okay?"

"Whether it is good or bad is my concern, so there is no need for General Manager Zhai to worry about it." He was unwilling to spend another minute talking to such a person, feeling a dull ache in his head. He put down the cup of water, stood up coldly, and said, "As for the joint exhibition, it seems that General Manager Zhai is not very interested. In that case, let's meet again!"

There really isn't much, in fact, I feel a bit guilty myself. However, for the time being, neither of us has expressed anything, so we can only continue to interact like this. She felt a bit flustered inside, and when she looked up, she saw Ji Lang already seated in the car, his lips pressed tightly together. Without thinking, she got into the passenger seat and asked, "Did you come to find me for something?"

Jiang Yuanyao woke up from his sleep, still suffering from a severe headache. Just then, Lu Ai entered the room, carrying a still warm lunch. Upon seeing his pale face, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Is President Jiang unwell?"

She nestled in his arms with a hint of obsession, secretly savoring this moment of happiness

He originally intended to ask her what had happened last night, but unexpectedly saw her sitting together with Jiang Yuanyao, being affectionate while having breakfast. Ji Lang felt it was rather uninteresting and simply asked, "Did nothing happen to you last night?"

As Tan Qing entered the hall, she witnessed this scene: Jiang Yuanyao, with a pale face, swung a fist at the face of the man surnamed Zhai, and fresh red blood flowed from Zhai Tianzhao's nose. He covered his face and shouted angrily, "Jiang, you are truly ungrateful!"

Jiang Yuanyao let out a chuckle, and the furrowed brows that had been tense gradually relaxed. He curled his fingers and tapped the table: "A beauty trap! Do you think I am someone who can be easily deceived?"

Tan Qing did not understand: "What are you blaming me for?"

To my surprise, he smiled, and his brows and eyes appeared even more lively and charming. "No, I just want to transfer you to my side."

A pair and a couple are truly beautiful

Tan Qing looked at the suddenly appearing Jiang Yuan Yao, unsure whether to feel surprised or delighted, with a mix of grievance, heartache, and joy, a myriad of emotions gathering in her throat. She had intended to casually say, "What brings you here?" but as soon as she opened her mouth, she burst into tears.

The guests in the private room have already taken their seats. Zhao Yan twisted her slender waist, intending to settle her bottom onto the empty chair next to the host seat, but Jiang Yuanyao patted the armchair and called out to Tan Qing, who was timidly standing at the door, saying: "Come, Tan Qing, sit here!"

Tan Qing

He curved his lips, his fingers gently gliding through her silky long hair, adopting a lover's embrace as he leaned against the back of the sofa, closing his eyes.

Next, we will take turns toasting each other. The meal is secondary; what is important is to discuss the matters regarding this RV exhibition. The CEOs of several companies are all long-time clients of Yuezhong and are familiar with Jiang Yuanyao. After a few drinks, the details of the exhibition cooperation have basically been finalized. However, Tianlin has been reluctant to express his stance, and Zhai Tianzhao's sinister gaze occasionally drifts towards Tan Qing.

"Mom, Dad..." she sobbed softly, gripped by a nightmare. At that moment, he suddenly felt a pair of hands gently patting him: "Tan Qing, wake up! Tan Qing!"

Jiang Yuanyao's expression darkened, yet when he uttered those words, he did so with great nonchalance: "Please, why not invite!"

"Tianlin Group, engaged in urban investment, is headed by a person with the surname Zhai, named Zhai Tianzhao," replied Lv Ai

His tone was inscrutable, neither revealing joy nor anger. Although they had been so close last night, they were now in his company, and moreover, she had become his subordinate. Tan Qing felt a sense of unease in her heart as she walked over and awkwardly smiled, saying: "What instructions do you have, General Jiang?"

In the spacious office, Lu Ai, with neatly combed hair, stood in front of the desk, calling out "General Jiang" several times. The person finally turned around from the large leather chair, looking somewhat dazed.

Hmm? Jiang Yuanyao lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms, but she had her eyes closed, her thick and long eyelashes gently resting on her eyelids, as if she were asleep

Zhai Tianzhao took out another cigar, sniffing it lightly in front of his nose, his brown eyes slowly turning. "President Jiang is merely putting on a show in front of others, trying to deceive me is probably out of the question. This girl is a pawn placed right under your nose by Qinglang, a competitor of Yuezong. With President Jiang's intelligence and experience, could he truly open his heart and be sincere with her?" His voice was slow and deliberate, as if he had already concluded that a relationship between him and Tan Qing was impossible.

"General Manager Jiang, there has been a dispute regarding a contract signing. I will bring it to you for your review immediately," Assistant Lu Ai said softly behind Jiang Yuanyao.

The loud bang may have been the last sound that Tan Qing and her parents heard together in this world

Tan Qing was nestled in bed taking a nap when she received a call from the company. The weather was somewhat oppressive; as she answered the phone, she pushed open the window. The voice on the other end was buzzing, and Tan Qing had not fully awakened from her nap, only grasping the general idea that she was to attend a company social event at a certain hotel at 6 PM.

She roughly recounted to him what had happened that evening, mentioning the incident at the Qing Shan Hotel, during which she hugged her arms tightly and her teeth chattered.

It is a familiar children's song. The slow melody, rendered in a deep and magnetic male voice, is surprisingly beautiful. Tan Qing gradually quiets down, until he is unaware of when the singing stops. He coughs twice shyly and glances at her: "Is it better now?"

Zhai Tianzhao frowned, wondering how there were still people who would stubbornly push money away in this day and age! He stood up with a somewhat apologetic smile: "General Manager Jiang, please don't take it to heart! It's just a woman, and ruining a business deal worth over a million isn't worth it. How about this, I wouldn't dare to shamelessly ask you for someone, the joint exhibition contract will be signed tomorrow. How about Tianlin as the title sponsor this time? You can set the price..."

Lu Ai shot him a glare: "Don't be as oblivious as Zhao Yan! President Jiang is currently taking a stroll by the river with the young lady. Why don't you go and call him, if you dare?"

The flowers are asleep

She merely mumbled a few words, and the other party's tone immediately became less friendly: "I can't help it; the client specifically requested your attendance. Tonight's event is very important, and General Manager Jiang will also be present. Prepare yourself and remember not to be late." As soon as the words were spoken, the call was abruptly ended. Tan Qing stood there in a daze, holding her phone: the client specifically requested her, and it was only her first day on the job; how did she gain such notoriety?
