Cai Jingyao had thought that the endorsement contract for the Kaide Corporation's perfume subsidiary was in the bag. She hadn't expected that the perfume's spokesperson would be Su Manman.
Cai Jingyao's expression changed drastically. She glanced at Lu Jinbei, who was playing games on the sofa in the living room after work. She walked to the bathroom and locked the door. She then called the perfumer, Mr. Madebet.
Madebet was helpless as well. He could only say to Cai Jingyao, "I'm sorry, Cai. This is what the head office wants. I can't do anything about it …"
"That's not what you said when you slept with me!" Cai Jingyao sat on the toilet lid and lowered her voice, trying her best to suppress the trembling in it.
After saying that, she was afraid that Lu Jinbei would hear her, so she subconsciously looked towards the door.
"I've already recommended you, but I'm not the boss after all!" Madebet frowned. "Could it be … that you slept with me back then to get this endorsement?"
Cai Jingyao didn't answer. She only said, "Back then, you were the one who said that my temperament matched that of a femme fatale! You said that you were attracted to my scent the moment you saw me. Later on, you added some elements to the perfume, and the inspiration came entirely from me. Can't you let me be the spokesperson for such a reason? Didn't you tell the higher-ups that you designed this perfume for me? "
Madebet felt a little awkward. These words … were all nonsense used to deceive women. How would he dare to say these words to the higher-ups? However, he still cared about the fact that he had slept with Cai Jingyao, so he vaguely mentioned that the source of his inspiration was Cai Jingyao. He just didn't know if the supervisor had told the higher-ups.
"I'm really sorry, but I really did my best!" Madebet also lowered his voice and said to Cai Jingyao, "After all, Su Manman is famous for being a femme fatale. Su Manman is also very famous internationally, so the company chose Su Manman! Moreover, Su Manman is the younger sister of the Kaide Corporation's chairman, Fu Huai 'an. Moreover … I heard that it was an order from the higher-ups. It should be Chairman Fu's idea! "
Cai Jingyao felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She sat on the toilet lid, her hand gripping the phone tightly as she bit her lower lip.
She had originally planned to go to the Kaide Corporation if she could get the endorsement … Even if she couldn't get in touch with Fu Huai 'an for the time being, she would still be able to get in touch with Lu Jinnan.
But now, Cai Jingyao's plans were in shambles.
"Then … has Su Manman signed the contract?" Cai Jingyao asked again.
"Not yet!"
Hearing this, Cai Jingyao hung up the phone and frowned in the bathroom for a long time.
"Jing Yao, what are we eating tonight? I'm going to order takeout. Is there anything you want to eat? "
Lu Jinbei's voice rang out. Cai Jingyao got up and stood in front of the sink to wash her face before opening the door and walking out of the bathroom.
Lu Jinbei, who was lying on the sofa playing games, craned his neck and asked again, "What do you want to eat? I'm ordering takeout … "
"I'll do it today! When I came back, I bought the ingredients, but it will take some time. Don't worry! If you're hungry, you can eat some snacks to fill your stomach. Just a little … Because this is my first time cooking for you, you have to give me face and eat everything! "Cai Jingyao walked towards the kitchen with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinbei's heart skipped a beat …
Lu Jinbei's father had cooked for him for more than 20 years, and Lu Jinbei had never been so touched. Suddenly hearing Cai Jingyao say that this was the first time she was cooking for him, Lu Jinbei felt touched.
He put down his phone and followed Cai Jingyao into the kitchen. Seeing Cai Jingyao take out the ingredients from the fridge, Lu Jinbei stopped her. "Your arm is injured. Forget it!"
"It's okay, it won't affect me!"
Seeing that he couldn't dissuade Cai Jingyao, Lu Jinbei could only take the initiative to say, "Let me help you! Hurry up … "
"No need! Go out first! " Cai Jingyao's face was a little red. "Um … this is my first time preparing dinner. I don't want to embarrass myself in front of you. Hurry up and go out!"
Cai Jingyao was even gentler today, so gentle that Lu Jinbei couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Your first time cooking?" Lu Jinbei asked.
Cai Jingyao nodded in embarrassment, then looked up worriedly. "Mm! You won't mind, right? I really want to cook for the man I love, and I want to cook for you for the rest of my life. If I don't do well, please forgive me. In the future, practice makes perfect. I'll definitely cook better and better! "
The softest part of Lu Jinbei's heart seemed to have been struck. He lowered his head and looked at the girl who was looking up at him. Her facial features were exquisite and obedient, and he couldn't help but hug her tightly in his arms. "If you want to cook for the rest of your life … I'll eat for the rest of my life. No matter how much you cook, I'll eat it all!"
"Xiao Bei …" Cai Jingyao rubbed her head against Lu Jinbei's chest. "You're so nice!"
"Silly girl!" The pain in Lu Jinbei's heart caused by Bai Xiaonian and Lu Jinnan was slowly healing. He felt that the girl in his arms was the best!
Even though Cai Jingyao wasn't the one he loved the most, Lu Jinbei felt that it was a great blessing in life to have someone who loved him so much. He would never hurt her in this lifetime …
It was already three hours later when dinner was ready. Although Cai Jingyao's cooking didn't taste good, it was commendable that she had put in so much effort. It was also the first time that Lu Jinbei gave her face and finished all the dishes.
After dinner, Cai Jingyao put down her chopsticks and said to Lu Jinbei, "Xiao Bei, there's something I want to discuss with you!"
"Mm, go ahead …" Lu Jinbei put down his chopsticks and looked at Cai Jingyao seriously.
"I have a little objection to what you said about job-hopping just now!" Cai Jingyao grabbed Lu Jinbei's hand and said, "I know that making games has always been your dream. I love you, so I don't want you to give up! I know how important a dream is to a person … It's the most precious encounter in a person's life, as important as love! Therefore … I don't recommend you job-hopping just to earn more money! "
Lu Jinbei frowned. "But …"
"Let me finish first!" Cai Jingyao smiled at Lu Jinbei. "This is what I think. Look … this house was left to me by Mom and Dad. Since we're getting married, what's mine is yours. I think it's pretty good for us to live here after we get married! I plan to add your name to it, and this place will be our marital home! "
"Jing Yao …" Lu Jinbei looked surprised, an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Don't reject it! You're under too much pressure to buy a new house and pay off the mortgage! And sales … Do you like it? I know you like games! "Cai Jingyao had a gentle expression on her face." Continue making games! I like to see you smiling every time you come back from work! It's enough that we have a house to live in! "
