Wen Ying thought all night, still could not be too indulgent towards Comrade Old Wen. Wen Ying herself would not look at Old Wen’s QQ chat records, but she could instigate Manager Chen to look.
This little padded jacket whose heart and liver were all blackened through, the next morning during the break while eating breakfast, secretly reminded Chen Ru a few sentences.
“…Anyway, my dad is a bit off.”
Of course he was off.
Staying up late revising drafts until his hair fell out a lot. Fortunately, the Wen family had no balding genes, otherwise Wen Dongrong would definitely go bald!
However, in front of Wen Ying, Chen Ru still kept Wen Dongrong’s secret. “I know, you don’t need to worry about this matter. From today on, I’ll pay attention. You don’t take any unauthorised action to alert the snake.”
Wen Ying’s heart, which had been hanging all night, instantly settled.
Even if Old Wen was a jumping Sun Wukong, he could not escape Manager Chen’s Five Finger Mountain. This wave was stable.
“Then I won’t worry about it. Today I’m going to Xie Qian’s house to study. Qin Jiao is back from the capital. In the evening, I might eat dinner before coming home.”
Wen Ying naturally explained her arrangements. Chen Ru said nothing, just asked if she needed to be picked up in the evening. Wen Ying said she would take a taxi. Chen Ru nodded in agreement.
Xie Qian gave the key to Wen Ying. Wen Ying needed to arrive earlier than the agreed time at Xie Qian’s house to open the door.
Without Aunt Liu for logistical support, Wen Ying also had to prepare some food and drinks for the little friends.
The fruits were ready-made, taken out from the fridge, washed, and then boil a pot of water. Perfect!
Wen Ying had just arranged the fruits when Li Mengjiao entered the door arm in arm with Qin Jiao.
“Sister Jiao, you’re even more beautiful!”
“Thank you, your mouth is sweeter too.”
Qin Jiao was amused by Wen Ying’s straightforward praise.
When not smiling, she was cool and aloof. This smile was like the thin ice on the lake surface breaking in early spring, very impactful.
Wen Ying really was not flattering.
Qin Jiao did not belong to the bold beauty type. Her beauty lay in her temperament, very enduring, and the more you looked, the more beautiful she became.
Qin Jiao had cut her long hair for the college entrance exam. After entering university, her hair gradually grew back.
Probably because she had not done any perming or dyeing, the undamaged hair was black, shiny, and smooth. With fair skin and tall stature, wherever she went, she was properly a black long straight goddess!
Her once cool as the moon temperament, after going to the capital for almost two years, now was even more icy, clearly only for distant admiration, not to be profaned.
Li Mengjiao giggled. “Sister Jiao is just beautiful. On the way here, I interrogated Sister Jiao, asked if she was dating behind our backs, when she could bring the brother-in-law back for us to see!”
“No brother-in-law, where do I have time to date?”
Qin Jiao was helpless about Li Mengjiao’s pestering.
Qin Jiao naturally had no shortage of suitors in university. Some busybodies called her “Flower of Guanghua” behind her back.
Qin Jiao’s suitors were not limited to her own college, but spread throughout the school. After all, it was Peking University, the overall level of the platform was guaranteed, so the quality of Qin Jiao’s suitors was generally quite good… But she really was not dating, mainly no time. In school, Qin Jiao wanted excellent grades. In her spare time, she also had to manage the “Shrimp King” capital branch affairs.
After Qin Yi and Qin Jiao siblings became the largest shareholders of “Shrimp King”, Qin Yi based in Modu focused on the southern market, and assigned the northern market to his sister Qin Jiao to manage.
Before last year’s Spring Festival, Qin Yi planned to open five “Shrimp King” directly operated stores in the capital within a year. When this plan was announced, it was questioned by Xie Qian at the time.
At the tense moment, it was Qin Jiao who stepped forward to dispel Xie Qian’s doubts.
To fulfill her promise, Qin Jiao did not even return to Rongcheng for the summer vacation, focusing wholeheartedly on the “Shrimp King” capital directly operated stores!
Fortunately, Qin Jiao’s efforts were worthwhile. The five stores really opened one after another. Qin Jiao could finally take a temporary break.
In this process, even with no shortage of funds and technology, building a career was not smooth sailing. Qin Jiao naturally encountered many troubles.
So it was not that Qin Jiao wanted to become icy. Many times she had no choice. In the process of “Shrimp King” expansion, Qin Jiao needed to deal with people from all walks of life.
Some people had high quality, speaking to Qin Jiao quite politely and respectfully.
Some people did not have such high quality. Seeing Qin Jiao was a young beautiful girl, they would be frivolous in words, even bully Qin Jiao for lacking social experience, always wanting to take more advantage in cooperation.
If Qin Jiao showed the slightest weakness, those people would push further.
Being aloof was better, it could deter some villains!
Half a year ago, Tang Yifeng and Geng Xiao also got into universities in the capital. “Shrimp King” had shares from these two. Qin Jiao used these two without mercy. Plus Deng Juan assisting on the side, Qin Jiao waded through one ditch after another, barely completing the expansion plan set by Qin Yi.
Tang Yifeng and Geng Xiao were like Qin Jiao, university students, could not devote themselves fully to “Shrimp King” work. Only Deng Juan did not need to go to school. For all kinds of trivial matters, Deng Juan did the most.
Qin Jiao now really could not do without Deng Juan as her right arm.
Qin Jiao mentioned Deng Juan. Wen Ying also wanted to ask. “I was just thinking, you’re back for the New Year, will the youngest sister come back?”
The boss was busy, employees could only be busier. Wen Ying had not seen Deng Juan for a long time, missed her very much.
Qin Jiao nodded. “She’ll come back a few days later, right before the New Year. Without her, Tang Yifeng and Geng Xiao can’t manage the five stores in the capital independently.”
Deng Juan would come back right before the New Year, same for Tang Yifeng and Geng Xiao.
In fact, Qin Jiao had some things about Deng Juan to ask Wen Ying. However, seeing the fruits Wen Ying had already arranged, Qin Jiao decided to wait until Wen Ying and Li Mengjiao completed today’s study tasks before saying.
“Let’s not waste time. You continue reviewing according to the plan. If there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me. We’ll solve it together.”
Qin Jiao was also helpless.
It had been a year and a half since the college entrance exam, and she still had to lecture high school students. Whom could she reason with?
But since she received Xie Qian’s request, Qin Jiao could only bite the bullet and serve as a substitute teacher. From receiving Xie Qian’s call, Qin Jiao started reviewing high school content, afraid she had forgotten all the high school knowledge points.
Fortunately, Qin Jiao, this top student, was genuine. The foundation was solid. Even if some knowledge points were fuzzy, flipping through the book a bit could recall them.
If the current Qin Jiao took the college entrance exam again, she could not score over 700 points, but being a temporary teacher for Wen Ying and Li Mengjiao should… not be a big problem, right?
Thinking this, Qin Jiao picked up the textbooks she brought and flipped through them again.
Wen Ying and Li Mengjiao saw “Teacher Qin” so serious, also put away their gossip about Qin Jiao’s love life, and started executing today’s study plan.
To not disturb the two studying, Wang Shuang did not come over.
But Wang Shuang said yesterday that today’s dinner would be arranged by him.
Qin Jiao, this substitute teacher, barely coped with the first day.
In the afternoon, according to the study schedule, ticking off the subdivided small plans one by one, Qin Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Mengjiao touched her stomach. “Let’s go, go eat. What I ate at noon doesn’t hold up at all!”
This silly girl, even after becoming a star, could not change her temper.
Qin Jiao smiled faintly, deliberately falling back two steps to ask Wen Ying. “How much do you know about Sister Deng Juan’s family situation?”
