Chapter 354: Come to My Office, I Have a Surprise for You
"Lingyin is just a college freshman and still inexperienced, but these businesses will be passed down to the two sisters eventually. It would be good for her to start learning about management... A fine suggestion. I’m on board." After thinking it over, Shen Zhengye agreed with the proposal.
He would hold down the fort in Jizhou and support Shen Lingxue from there.
If things got busy in Central State, he could travel there for a short stay.
Besides, with Shen Lingxue’s good friend Su Yanyun in Jizhou, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to stay in Central State for an extended period.
And so, the matter was decided.
Jiang Xinghai drove off and headed to the Shen Corporation.
After meeting with Shen Lingxue, he explained the plan to her.
After some careful thought, Shen Lingxue said, "That’s a very well-thought-out idea. Lingyin can work part-time while she studies; it’ll be a good growth opportunity for her. As for Jizhou, I’ll gradually get Yanyun familiar with the Shen Corporation’s operations. That will free me up to travel back and forth between the two locations, which will be much more convenient."
"So what you’re saying is, you want to be stuck to my side?" Jiang Xinghai couldn’t help but tease with a smirk.
"Don’t flatter yourself. This is all strictly for work," Shen Lingxue said with a prim, all-business expression.
"Alright, I’ll let you get back to it. I’m going to check on things at AM." Jiang Xinghai changed the subject and calmly took his leave.
’In truth, even if Shen Lingxue had been blunt about wanting to be with me, I wouldn’t have agreed.’
’The road ahead of me is still long.’
’Until I find my parents, until I’ve killed Mr. Long of Black Cloak, I can’t afford any attachments.’
’If something were to happen to me, it would only bring a fate of suffering to others.’
Watching Jiang Xinghai’s retreating figure, Shen Lingxue thought to herself, ’That guy... I haven’t seen him for one day, and he’s already gotten so much more brooding.’
AM Company.
Su Yanyun was on the factory floor supervising the production of the Intermediate Anti-Aging Cream, completely unaware that Jiang Xinghai had just walked up behind her.
"Not bad. A whole night of overtime production, and you’ve already got over five hundred boxes," Jiang Xinghai said with a light chuckle.
"Ah! You’re back!" Su Yanyun jumped in surprise, then playfully threw a light punch at him.
To Jiang Xinghai, it felt like little more than a tickle.
"Come to my office. I have a surprise for you," Su Yanyun said, pulling Jiang Xinghai along.
Confused, Jiang Xinghai let Su Yanyun lead him back to her office.
SMOOCH!
The moment she stepped into the office, Su Yanyun threw her arms around Jiang Xinghai.
Ever since that first time with Jiang Xinghai, she had tossed and turned almost every night, unable to sleep.
A man and a woman alone together—sparks were bound to fly.
Without a word, Jiang Xinghai wrapped his arms around Su Yanyun’s waist, lifted her up, and carried her toward the inner suite.
"Can you... let me be in charge this time...?"
Su Yanyun’s face was flushed pink. Biting her red lip, she pointed toward the windowsill.
"Seriously, Yanyun? I didn’t know you were this wild."
Jiang Xinghai looked up toward the floor-to-ceiling window.
"It’s one-way glass. Perfectly safe," Su Yanyun murmured, biting his shoulder.
"Then let’s go crazy just this once."
Without another word, Jiang Xinghai slapped her on the rear.
"You’re so bad."
Su Yanyun whimpered, placing both hands on the cool glass of the window.
From this position, one could overlook the scenery on the street below.
Not that either of them was in any state of mind to appreciate the view.
「Half an hour later.」
Just as Jiang Xinghai was finishing up, he saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom pull up downstairs.
"A big client coming?" He pulled on his pants, sat down beside her, and lit a cigarette.
Su Yanyun’s eyes were nearly sealed shut from the overwhelming pleasure. She squinted down at the street below and panted, "That’s... Cai Xiujuan, the owner of Zhou Dasheng Jewelry..."
"The rich woman?" Jiang Xinghai suddenly grew alert.
"Heh heh... yes. The one who wanted you to ’keep her company’ for a night," Su Yanyun said, still breathing heavily.
"So she’s here to see you this time?" Jiang Xinghai had always been wary of Cai Xiujuan.
"Yes. Quick, bolt the door," Su Yanyun urged.
Jiang Xinghai bolted the door in a single stride. Even without Su Yanyun’s reminder, he was determined to avoid seeing Cai Xiujuan.
Su Yanyun gave a teasing smile. "You’re afraid of nothing on heaven or earth, but you’re scared of a single Cai Xiujuan?"
"I’m not scared, it would just be... complicated to explain," Jiang Xinghai said, taking a leisurely drag from his cigarette as he helped Su Yanyun to her feet. "Go take a shower and get changed. There’s a big party tonight. You should come along for the fun."
"Alright. It wouldn’t be a party without me," Su Yanyun said, steadying herself as she walked toward the bathroom. "How big of a party? What’s the occasion?"
"You could call it a farewell party," Jiang Xinghai said with a faint smile.
"Don’t tell me it’s a farewell party for you," Su Yanyun said, her brow furrowing.
Jiang Xinghai just smiled noncommittally.
"Does that mean it’ll be hard to see you from now on?" Su Yanyun rushed out of the bathroom, completely naked. She brought her luscious, glistening lips close to Jiang Xinghai’s face. "In that case... I want you one more time."
"You think your body can handle it?" The corner of Jiang Xinghai’s mouth twitched into a smirk.
Her eyes shimmering with longing, Su Yanyun whispered, "I can."
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK...
But a knock sounded at the office door, followed by Cai Xiujuan’s voice. "President Su, I heard Jiang Xinghai is in your office. Stop hiding. Open the door. I have something to say."
