Chapter 738 - 352: Secretary Li, Come to My Office! (2)
The mix of shyness, anticipation, and immense joy was something she had never experienced before.
Half an hour later...
He Jing put on her clothes piece by piece and tidied up her slightly disheveled hair.
After confirming nothing seemed out of place, the two of them walked out of the room one after the other.
As they stepped out, He Minghai and Zhao Shuzhen had already started bringing the dishes to the table.
Seeing the lavish dishes already set on the table, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.
He originally came to have some home-cooked meals.
But the feast prepared by He Minghai and Zhao Shuzhen was almost on par with the high standards over at the Baiyulan Hotel.
In the center of the table, a massive steamed king crab was prominently displayed.
The red shell glistened enticingly, its legs thick and the meat plump, accompanied by exquisite dipping sauces.
On the other side was a plate of garlic vermicelli steamed Australian lobster with an aura of grandeur.
The lobster was quite large, its bright red shell peeled back to reveal the white, bouncy meat inside, topped with golden garlic and transparent vermicelli, emanating an irresistible aroma.
Besides these signature dishes, there were also braised abalone, oil-braised prawns, and steamed sole fish among other impressive dishes.
Only a few ordinary dishes were interspersed among them.
"Xiao Jiang, Jingjing, quickly wash your hands, it’s time to eat."
Zhao Shuzhen cheerfully called out to them upon seeing them come out of the room.
"Mom, let me help you with the dishes."
He Jing playfully stepped forward, ready to assist.
"My dear, you’d better rest, I’m worried you’ll drop something again."
"Oh mom~ that was just a one-time accident! I promise it won’t happen again!"
"You said that last time too."
"Come on, spare me some face, would you?"
He Jing hurriedly pushed her mom into the kitchen and soon came out unsteadily with a plate of fish-flavored shredded pork.
Luckily, this time there was no mishap.
As the fish-flavored shredded pork landed steadily on the table, He Jing blinked at Jiang Tao, her face saying, "Quick, praise me!"
"Awesome~"
Jiang Tao gave a thumbs up and complimented her enthusiastically.
Pfft~
Hearing Jiang Tao’s praise, He Jing burst into laughter, feeling blessed to have a considerate boyfriend.
Soon, all the dishes were on the table, and the four of them began eating and chatting cheerfully.
Jiang Tao and He Minghai clinked their glasses, having a lively discussion.
From national affairs to local development, economic trends to life insights.
He Minghai found that although Jiang Tao was young, he was knowledgeable and quick-witted.
Many of Jiang Tao’s viewpoints enlightened him.
He was immensely satisfied with this "potential son-in-law".
Zhao Shuzhen constantly picked food for Jiang Tao and He Jing, watching them eat happily made her feel even more satisfied than eating herself.
...
Meanwhile.
In the impressive general manager’s office at Ping County Longcheng Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.
Zhou Di, after finishing his work, massaged his temples with a hint of fatigue.
His eyes fell on an extremely exquisite small jade bottle on his desk.
There were no markings on this little jade bottle, which Jia Guolin brought over in the morning.
Jia Guolin sent Jiang Tao’s greetings and mentioned this was a token from Jiang Tao.
"Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill?"
"He also mentioned it’s an ancient secret formula, nourishing Yin and strengthening Yang, strengthening the foundation and nourishing essence."
Zhou Di chuckled and mentally labeled the contents of the small jade bottle as a health supplement.
Given his position and status, what kind of supplements or health products hadn’t he seen?
Most were exaggerated, boasting extraordinary benefits, but the effects, well, those who know, know.
Zhou Di did have some personal issues related to male functionality.
Over the years, he tried many methods privately with unsatisfactory results, sometimes feeling weaker instead.
This "Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill," with its intimidating name, was probably more of the same.
But...
Zhou Di was somewhat puzzled.
If it was just a regular supplement, Jiang Tao wouldn’t have given him just this tiny jade bottle.
That would be too stingy.
"Could it be this Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill really has miraculous effects?"
After a busy morning, Zhou Di was feeling a bit sore and lacking energy.
With a "nothing to lose" mindset, he opened the small porcelain bottle.
Inside the bottle were two dragon-eye-sized, dark black pills emitting a faint herbal aroma.
"Hmm, the scent is actually quite nice."
As the aroma of the ’Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill’ hit him, Zhou Di’s eyes lit up in surprise and delight.
The complex fragrance exuded by the ’Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill’ alone felt quite sophisticated.
This raised Zhou Di’s expectations for its effects.
Since it wouldn’t harm him, the worst case was it having no effect.
If it really worked, then it’d be a bonus.
With this thought, Zhou Di tilted the bottle over his palm, extracting one pill.
He didn’t hesitate and quickly swallowed it with warm water.
The pill had a unique bittersweet taste, quickly transforming into a warm sensation as it slipped down his throat into his stomach.
The moment the ’Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill’ settled in his stomach, Zhou Di felt a comforting warmth spread inside him.
"It works this fast?"
Zhou Di, surprised, looked down at his stomach.
A steady, mild warmth spread through his lower abdomen, like a gentle furnace slowly igniting.
This was supremely comforting, unlike the agitation and palpitations he felt from other potent concoctions before.
The warmth seemed to spread throughout his body, dissipating fatigue and invigorating his spirits!
Even more astonishing.
A long-lost sense of vitality began to arise subtly in his lower abdomen!
It was a vigorous life force from the source, not merely a nerve response triggered by medication.
Zhou Di had never encountered a health product with such rapid effects!
To the point where he wondered if it was his imagination.
"This isn’t imagination; this feeling is definitely real!"
Zhou Di sat up straight from his boss chair, brimming with incredulous joy!
He carefully sensed the changes in his body.
The warmth in his abdomen was steady and consistent, bringing forth a sense of abundant energy and vitality.
It didn’t at all resemble the palpitations or dizziness he felt from certain potent stimulants before.
At that moment, Zhou Di felt capable again!
"This pill is really something! It’s even better than the blue pills!"
Zhou Di was quite experienced.
Feeling the changes brought by a single Five Sons Inheriting Pill.
He immediately realized what a treasure this gift from Jiang Tao was for men!
For men in middle age, facing demands from partners with more heart than stamina is common.
Especially for big bosses like Zhou Di, who never lacked women around, nine out of ten faced kidney weakness.
A tonic like the ’Divine Five Sons Inheriting Pill’ with such remarkable effects and no side effects at all was practically a miracle for them!
Overwhelmed by intense delight and a newfound male confidence, Zhou Di’s heart raced, eager to test its real-life effect.
Taking a deep breath to calm his excitement, Zhou Di took out his phone and dialed his secretary’s number.
Beep beep beep—
"President Zhou."
The call connected in less than three seconds, with a clear and pleasant female voice on the other end.
"Secretary Li, come to my office."
Zhou Di directly and eagerly invited her over.
The phone was hardly down for half a minute when the office door was knocked from outside.
"Come in."
As soon as Zhou Di spoke, the office door gently opened.
A tall young woman in a light blue business lady’s suit, nude stockings, and exquisite makeup appeared at the entrance.
