Jiang Sese spent the entire morning buried in work, quickly forgetting what had happened earlier. She didn't see Jiang Nuannuan and Lan Sichen again.That made her think that they had already left.At noon, He Lin asked her out for lunch but she turned it down. She went to the washroom instead.To her surprise, she ran into Jiang Nuannuan reapplying her makeup when she walked out of the toilet stall.Briefly stunned, her eyes soon turned dark. She slowly walked over to the sink to wash her hands.The two of them stood side by side.Jiang Nuannuan observed Jiang Sese through the mirror, her red lips forming a sneer. "We meet again, my dear sister."Jiang Sese didn't even spare her a glance as if she didn't hear her.Jiang Nuannuan wasn't bothered. "I thought something happened to you when I didn't hear from you for five whole years. I never expected you to be hiding in a small company like this. Sister… you're still living as poorly as before!"She let out a mocking chuckle.J
The order to kneel and apologize stunned everyone. Yan Yifei, however, wanted nothing more than to see Jiang Sese in trouble. Her eyes were filled with joy at the latter's misfortune.Lan Sichen frowned, but didn't express anything else. He had evidently given his tacit agreement of Jiang Nuannuan's demand.Li Sheng was the only one who hesitated. "That… that's a bit improper, isn't it?"It would be too humiliating for Jiang Sese to kneel and apologize!Jiang Nuannuan widened her eyes and said indignantly, "What do you mean, President Li? Then it is proper for me to be slapped by your employee?"Li Sheng said fearfully, "That's not what I mean.""Since that's not the case, then what else is there to say?" Jiang Nuannuan redirected her gaze to Jiang Sese, her expression frighteningly cold. "Jiang Sese! Right now, immediately! Kneel and apologize to me!"Jiang Sese looked at her disdainfully. "I'd only kneel to the dead."Jiang Nuannuan was so furious that her entire body was sha
Thanks to the trouble Jiang Sese got herself in, Li Sheng decided to have her pack up and leave after much deliberation. He also returned the Jin Group project to Yan Yifei's hands.Jiang Sese wasn't at all surprised.After all, the other party was a famous corporation. It didn't make sense for the company to offend them for the sake of a lowly employee like her.He Lin was in low spirits upon hearing that she was leaving. She hugged Jiang Sese and said, "Sese, I know that you will be able to find a better job. Work hard and don't lose heart."A shred of warmth entered Jiang Sese's cold husk of a heart.The rest of the space, however, was filled with regret.She… would have to break her promise.She had lost the chance to design an unforgettable birthday celebration for Xiaobao!Remembering that adorable child gave her the urge to cry. She didn't know how to vent all the guilt that was overwhelming her.Unable to control her emotions, she fished out her phone to give him a cal
Everyone stared at the magnified photo on the screen with their mouths open, unable to snap out of it for a long time.They only came their senses moments later and turned to look at each other in disbelief. Their gazes seemed to suggest: "Is this an illusion? There's a photo of a woman on our president's phone?"But it wasn't an illusion!They became fired up, unable to hide their raging desire for gossip. They stretched their necks to get a closer look at the face of the woman on the screen.Some speculated that it was a lady from some rich family.Some were even brighter and wondered if this was their boss's future wife...Before they could get a clear look at her face, though, the screen flickered and the photo of the beautiful woman vanished into thin air.Looking like nothing had happened, Jin Fengchen disconnected his phone in an unruffled manner. His eyes were as detached as ever as he said calmly, "Let's end our meeting here. Go back to work."Everyone looked away from
Jiang Sese became uneasy from all the staring, especially considering the suggestive look in his eyes. To her embarrassment, her cheeks became warm and made her feel even more awkward. "No, no, I'm here to see Xiaobao.""Ah? Xiaobao? Why are you looking for him?"Jin Fengyao's smile instantly faltered and his expression became filled with disappointment.Jiang Sese didn't expect such a reaction from him. She asked hesitantly, "What's wrong? Can't I look for Xiaobao?"Jin Fengyao waved his hand. "Nah. Xiaobao is with my parents now. You won't be able to see him now."He paused for a beat before recovering his smile. This time, his smile resembled that of a wolf. "But if you're here for my brother, he's very free!"Even if his brother wasn't free, he was sure that the former would make it look as if he was very free!He quietly added that in his mind.Jiang Sese couldn't help hesitating. She had the feeling that the Second Young Master of the Jin family was lying through his teet
"I promised Xiaobao I would give him an unforgettable birthday, but I can't do that anymore. Please tell him that I'm really sorry."Jin Fengchen's frown deepened after hearing her explanation. He stepped forward and lifted Jiang Sese out of her bowing stance.He was so gentle that Jin Fengyao nearly went blind.Jiang Sese was surprised as well. She never expected this from him.With an unchanging expression, Jin Fengchen held her shoulder and patted her on the waist. "You can speak while standing. Don't bend your waist."His light touch instantly made her forget to react. All she could feel was a numbness emerging from the spot where he touched her that flowed throughout her body.Moments later, he guided her back to the couch.Jin Fengchen acted like nothing had happened and sat down next to her. "What do you mean when you said you can't do it anymore?"Jiang Sese inexplicably became nervous. She said apologetically, "I've… resigned from the Zhuoyue Creative Agency.""Resign
Jiang Sese was in the dark about Jiang Nuannuan's intense malice.The only thing she could do was worry about things.Not only did she have the burden of her mother's treatment fees hanging over her head, but she couldn't even get a new job. She was so discouraged that she was deliberating being a temporary worker.While she was still worrying, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.The caller was the person in charge of a company called Jinse Creative Agency, who was pleased with her resume and wanted to hire her.Jiang Sese's first reaction was that the company had to be a scam. She had neither heard of this company nor sent her resume to them.Thus, she asked cautiously, "Is your company truly interested in hiring me? Don't you need me to do an interview?"The woman on the other end of the line answered with utmost sincerity, "Right, no interview is necessary. We can get an understanding of a person's capabilities through her resume. You are an outstanding student, Miss Jian
After making sure that she didn't mishear him, Jiang Sese was instantly swept into a state of chaos. She shook her head so hard that she made herself dizzy. "Um, it's all right," she said. "I can go on my own. How can I let you go grocery shopping with me?"Besides, he was the President of the Jin Group! The dream man of countless girls! The social elite with a net worth of more than 100 billion! The giant among men! What if someone found out about this?Unfortunately, the President of the Jin Group didn't pay this much attention. With a matter-of-fact expression, he replied, "Why can't you?"Did he still have to ask?Someone with such an aggressive air would stand out terribly at the market.She would be surprised if people didn't gather around him and watch him like a rare animal if he went!Even so, she didn't dare to reveal her thoughts. She laughed dryly and said, "Because you're a guest, of course! I can't trouble you for something like this."The three of them had reached her do
