Jiang Yansheng turned around, but there was nothing behind her except for the empty streetlights.
Did she hear it wrong?
She reached out and rubbed the goosebumps on her arms. She was scared, so she ran back to the apartment.
Yu Zhouzhou was confused by the fever. When she saw Jiang Yansheng come in, she grabbed Jiang Yansheng's wrist with her eyes shining. Her whole body was hanging on her body, and she said in a coquettish voice, "It's so hot …"
Jiang Yansheng looked at the big bed behind her, which could accommodate two people. It was a mess because Yu Zhouzhou was tossing and turning, and the quilt that was originally covering her had all fallen to the ground.
She was speechless, and she put Yu Zhouzhou back on the bed.
After taking the antipyretic, Yu Zhouzhou fell asleep soon. Jiang Yansheng touched her forehead again. After making sure that the temperature had gone down, she was relieved and fell asleep.
The next morning, Yu Zhouzhou woke up earlier than her. Jiang Yansheng opened the curtains with sleepy eyes and suddenly saw Yu Zhouzhou looking at the ceiling with her eyes half-open. She was so scared that she woke up.
"How do you feel?" Jiang Yansheng yawned and tucked Yu Zhouzhou in.
Yu Zhouzhou had sweated last night, and her bangs were stuck to her head. She looked at Jiang Yansheng with grievance and said, "My head hurts."
Jiang Yansheng said helplessly, "Now you know your head hurts. Why did you try to be a hero and get wet in the rain yesterday? Why did you stop the fight?"
She tried to curl up into a caterpillar under the quilt and even covered her sweaty face. Yu Zhouzhou's voice was hoarse. "I don't want to go to the company today. Help me find my phone. I'll take a day off …"
"You've only been working for a few days, and you're already slacking off. Yu Zhouzhou, you're really good." Although Jiang Yansheng was mocking him, her eyes were filled with heartache. She placed the phone next to Yu Zhouzhou's pillow. "You should be glad that you're working for your parents' company this time."
"I know …" Yu Zhouzhou stretched out her hand at a snail's pace and dialed the number slowly. "They didn't make things difficult for me after I gave in to them."
Jiang Yansheng stood on the side with a complicated expression on his face. He saw that Yu Zhouzhou was still in a daze as he typed out the message word by word. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. "Why don't you just make a phone call?"
"Why are you calling me?" Yu Zhouzhou curled his lips in annoyance. "Won't you know that I have a cold the moment you pick up the phone and hear my voice? I don't want them to criticize me. "
Jiang Yansheng sat down by the bed and thought for a moment before saying, "Although I don't know how your father treats you, your mother actually treats you very well."
Yu Zhouzhou was still half lying on the bed as she typed out the message. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying yesterday, and she was facing a white screen. "Really?"
"You said that it was during the period when you cut off all ties with them …" Jiang Yansheng paused and said softly, "Your mother actually didn't find someone to cut off your hard-earned job. Instead, she asked the boss to give you more money."
She gritted her teeth. "Also, Auntie actually gave me some money before. She asked me to give you some money under my name."
The phone in Yu Zhouzhou's hand fell onto the pillow with a thud. Then, her stiff arms drooped down weakly. She laughed self-deprecatingly. "She asked you to hide it from me?"
Jiang Yansheng nodded.
"It's all in the past anyway. There's no point in bringing it up now." Yu Zhouzhou forced her gaze to focus on the half-edited message. "Since she doesn't want to tell me, then forget it."
When Jiang Yansheng went out, he looked back and saw that Yu Zhouzhou was still under the quilt. It was stuffy, and she didn't move.
When the door was about to close, Yu Zhouzhou suddenly sat up and shouted at the door.
"I can earn my own money from next month onwards. You can count the money she gave you to me." She sniffled. "I'll pay her back slowly."
Jiang Yansheng's hand that was about to close the door stopped for a moment. He smiled warmly. "Okay."
…
When she arrived at the company, Jiang Yansheng saw Second Uncle at the door of the design department. He had woken up early to block the door.
She pulled the strap of her bag and asked with a frown, "What's the matter?"
Second Uncle laughed awkwardly and rubbed his hands together. "Yansheng, there are so many people outside. It's not convenient to talk. Let's go in and talk."
Almost everyone in the design department was on duty. As soon as it was eight o 'clock, everyone sat neatly in their seats. When Second Uncle came in just now, everyone stared at him like he was sitting on pins and needles.
No matter how thick-skinned he was, he still felt uncomfortable.
"There's no need to go in. My company is a bit messy. It'll be rude if Second Uncle sees us." Jiang Yansheng calmly rejected Second Uncle's request and said directly, "Are you talking about the bidding? If that's the case, there's no need to talk about it. Haven't the proposal and the price already been marked? Can't we just wait for the bidding to start? "
Her eyes were indifferent. "Second Uncle doesn't have much work to do in the company. Why are you here instead of sleeping early in the morning?"
Second Uncle's face instantly darkened. He had to be polite to Jiang Yansheng. "No, Yansheng. Actually, the company didn't allocate a lot of money this time. Didn't we talk about it before …"
"Your ex-husband is the owner of the land this time. Put down your pride and ask him. They're so well-informed. They must know who the bidders are. When the time comes, we can play some tricks …" Second Uncle's face instantly darkened.
As Second Uncle said this, he even laughed complacently. Jiang Yansheng simply took out the key from his bag and stuffed it back. He smiled faintly at Second Uncle and said, "You want me to put down my pride?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yansheng looked up at him and said softly, "Second Uncle, if you can put down your pride and kneel on the ground and kowtow to me a few times to beg me, I might be able to put down my pride and look for my ex-husband."
His words sounded like it was a matter of course. No matter who heard it, they would feel uncomfortable.
"You …" Second Uncle's smile immediately disappeared. He glared at him angrily. "Jiang Yansheng, don't think too highly of yourself."
"Didn't Old Jiang tell us about your current position? We said it was fine. You're the younger generation, so we shouldn't make things too difficult for you. Is this how you treat your elders now? "
Jiang Yansheng tilted his head in confusion. "Did I say anything? I just changed the subject of Second Uncle's request to Second Uncle. Since Second Uncle thinks that my request is unreasonable, you should know what ridiculous things you said before, right? "
She smiled carelessly. "Also, why doesn't Second Uncle act like an elder at all?"
"The documents that were sent to me before were all messed up. I had to read one document four or five times before I could understand it." Jiang Yansheng curled his lips mockingly. "If Second Uncle hadn't personally asked someone to send it to me, I wouldn't have known that this was the proposal that our company was going to bid on."
"It would be strange if it wasn't Huang."
"How is that possible?" Second Uncle gritted his teeth and felt that the entire design department was looking at them. He lowered his voice and said bitterly, "Yansheng, you must do a good job on this project. Didn't Second Uncle say that if you do a good job, Second Uncle's shares will be sold to you in half?" "That's right.
Jiang Yansheng dodged Second Uncle's hand that was about to pat her on the shoulder and said lightly, "I know. I will find a way."
She looked up and said, "Second Uncle, don't tell me that the company is only willing to pay 20 million this time."
If the Jiang Clan wanted to bid for that land, she might as well go to the Gu Clan and rob it.
Second Uncle said awkwardly, "Yes, you know that the company's stock price has been falling recently. It's already very important for us to allocate so much money. You can't let this money go to waste."
Jiang Yansheng waved his hand impatiently and smiled. "I know."
After that, she opened the door and went in, slamming Second Uncle outside the door.
Second Uncle closed the door and almost bumped into it. He anxiously twisted the door handle while shouting Jiang Yansheng's name. After a long time, he couldn't twist the door open. He cursed under his breath and left dejectedly.
Jiang Yansheng heard the movement at the door clearly from the other side of the wall. She flipped through the documents on the table and found that there were two of them.
One of them was given to her by Second Uncle, and the other was a more complete and attractive proposal that she had rewritten after working overtime yesterday.
She sat in front of the table and her phone vibrated.
She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Gu Yan.
There was a red "1" in the lower right corner of Gu Yisheng's profile picture.
Have you had breakfast?
Jiang Yansheng's lips curled into a smile.
…
In the afternoon, she wore a scarf that covered most of her face and went to Gu Yan's company.
In addition to the reception desk, there was a row of bodyguards standing in the hall. When Jiang Yansheng came in, everyone's eyes were glued to her.
Jiang Yansheng gently knocked on the desk at the front desk. The receptionist raised her well-made face and gave her a standard smile. "Do you have an appointment?"
Jiang Yansheng lowered her voice. "Call Gu Yan's office. I have an appointment."
The receptionist's beautiful smile suddenly froze. She looked at Jiang Yansheng from head to toe and said coldly, "Okay, I'll transfer the call for you."
Jiang Yansheng felt that there were dozens of eyes on her, so she adjusted the scarf that covered her face.
The receptionist had already made the call. She looked at Jiang Yansheng reluctantly but still politely pointed to the front. "Don't take the ordinary elevator. There is a separate elevator in the innermost area that leads directly to the CEO's office."
Jiang Yansheng entered the elevator out of curiosity. She found that the elevator was quite enjoyable. The glass windows gave her sightseeing, and her mood relaxed as she looked down at the scenery that was getting farther and farther away.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived. She took off the scarf that she had been covering her face, which was about to give her rashes.
There was only one CEO's office on this floor. Jiang Yansheng pursed her lips and raised her hand to knock on the door. Suddenly, the closed door in front of her opened.
A gentle and domineering hand directly clasped her wrist and gently hooked it inside.
