“Is Boss really going to sell the company?”
“Yes.” Lin Qianyu said, “It probably won’t be long. I heard that the new owner is from Hong Kong.”
Jin Nian thought of the serious matter, “Oh right. Can I continue with my topic on food safety?”
Lin Qianyu scratched his head in frustration, “Great aunt, do you know how much our gourmet streamer can sell for a live broadcast now? Aren’t you trying to ruin your own family’s reputation? How do you want me to explain this to the higher-ups?”
“There’s no problem with the source of your products. What’s there to be afraid of? Besides, even if I choose this topic, it might not cause much of a stir. It’s a little too early for you to worry.”
“Do you have to choose this topic?”
“Yes! It has to be!”
“Isn’t marriage a lot of work? You still have time to do this.” Lin Qianyu had just finished speaking when his phone rang again. He nudged his chin and signaled Jin Nian to leave first. He was wearing a sports suit, and at first glance, he looked like a vibrant college student. However, if one were to look closer, one would find that the dark circles under his eyes and his ashen face were unbearable to look at.
How many people in the internet industry could sleep well?
Jin Nian mouthed silently, “Then I’ll continue to prepare this topic?”
Lin Qianyu had lost his temper from her nagging and could only nod in agreement.
Back in the office, Jin Nian told everyone the good news, “Boss says you can do it, let’s continue!”
When the colleague by the window heard this, he suddenly said in an ambiguous manner, “Niannian is really capable. She just needs to say a few words to Boss.”
Jin Nian looked at him. It was the team leader in charge of makeup, Gao Qingming. He had the same sexual orientation as her. Jin Nian was not close to her colleagues at work, but Gao Qingming was someone who can stir things up.
Jin Nian did not respond to his sarcasm and continued with her work. As long as she was busy, she would forget the passage of time. An afternoon passed, and many unfamiliar faces came and went in the company. The colleagues discussed animatedly, saying that these people were probably sent by the buyers.
At four o’clock, Jin Nian suddenly received a bouquet of pink butterfly orchids. There was a large bouquet of roses with pearls embedded in the middle of the petals. It was so beautiful that it made people speechless.
Her colleagues could not help but jeer, thinking that it was sent by her fiance, the famous director.
“Oh my God, these flowers are so beautiful!”
“Your husband has good taste. These flowers are very expensive, right?”
“I just checked. Butterfly Orchid’s words are beautiful happiness flying towards you. Tsk, tsk, tsk, he is secretly showing off.”
Jin Nian was puzzled as well. She picked up the card from the flower and took a look. The signature was a single word ‘Lu’, it was actually sent by Lu An.
Before going to work in the morning, Jin Nian mentioned it to Lu An. He did not say anything at that time. After that, Jin Nian was busy the whole day, so they did not chat anymore. Jin Nian took a photo and sent it to Lu An: “Did you buy this?”
Lu An was busy with something on the other end. After more than ten minutes, he replied: “Does it look good?”
“It’s indeed pretty,” Jin Nian said honestly. “When the female colleagues in the office saw this, their eyes were filled with pink bubbles.”
Lu An: “When you saw it, did you remember what you forgot?”
Jin Nian: “What did I forget?”
Lu An: “You still owe me a Claude Monet.”
Jin Nian was still touched just now, but now, “Lu An, has anyone ever told you that you’re really petty?”
Lu An: “No.”
Jin Nian still wanted to reply, but she received a call from Ms. Tan, so she put the petty Lu An aside.
As soon as the call connected, Teacher Tan went straight to the point and asked her, “Has the Jiang family contacted you?”
Jin Nian took her phone and walked to a corner, “They haven’t. What’s wrong?”
Tan Siyun’s tone was filled with anger, “They contacted me. It was Jiang Qingchi’s mother who called me.”
Jin Nian frowned slightly, “What did she say to you?”
Tan Siyin: “Take a shot, guess what she said?”
Jin Nian: “She came to persuade you to persuade me to marry Jiang Qingchi?”
“If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be so angry!” Tan Siyun took a deep breath and laughed: “She called me and said that she wanted to get back the deposit she gave me previously! She also said that we’re breaking off the engagement, so we have to return all the money for the hotel and wedding candy to them!
What kind of person is this? Why did not she say how much money her son had used from you?!”
The more Tan Siyun spoke, the angrier she got, “I can imagine her face even over the phone. She said that with Jiang Qingchi’s current achievements, he wouldn’t have to worry about finding another girl to his heart’s content in the future. She was just afraid that you would become an old lady in the end. If you really couldn’t find a partner, Jiang Qingchi wasn’t the kind of ungrateful person who would leave you alone..”
