Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Earn More, Die Early
He Jingyao sported a smile as clear as the bright moon after a breeze, feeling utterly refreshed inside.
He took a sip of water and then opened his mouth with indifference, “How is it?”
“So… so incredible!” Su Zixi’s eyes sparkled, “Jingyao, how do you know how to do everything!”
He raised his eyebrows lightly, “Just some trifling skills.”
So, all those geniuses in the tech department, huh… nothing but a bunch of wage workers.
Su Zixi looked at him with adoration, “Do you know? There was a time when Yushan and I even discussed marrying a coder in the future, ‘earns a lot, dies early’, simply the most suitable husband material!”
A crack appeared on He Jingyao’s nonchalant expression.
He said solemnly, “Earns a lot… dies early?”
“We were just joking!” Su Zixi stuck out her tongue, “But I really do admire tech gurus. Even though you’re not a coder, I’ve still fulfilled a long-held wish!”
… The esteemed young master of the He Family, director and CEO of HI Group, a Heir ranked at the forefront of the world’s wealth list, suddenly felt a slight toothache.
However, no matter whom she compared him to, at least, she was satisfied…
“So,” He Jingyao clasped the back of her head, leaning slightly, “I helped you efficiently complete your work, shouldn’t you give me a little reward?”
Su Zixi cleared her throat, “You’re the boss, we’re all working for you…”
So, when it came down to it, he was actually working for himself…
He Jingyao’s gaze darkened.
Su Zixi’s heart trembled, and she instinctively opened her arms to embrace him, then clumsily pressed her lips against his.
He Jingyao let out a light laugh, pressed her down under him, and deepened the kiss fiercely.
In Yangdong City, the Ning Family.
Perhaps due to that nationally renowned wedding they’d held, this typically low-profile family still retained some opulence.
In the study, Ning Yuanxiu, the pillar of the Ning Family, faced his children and said in a deep voice, “Ruixin, Yichen.”
“Father,” the two said in unison.
“I may seem distinguished now, but actually, I am quite constrained.” Ning Yuanxiu’s face was as still as water, “The President and I are not from the same party, and he has quite a few reservations about me on a regular basis. Although he has announced he won’t run for the next term, my chances are still slim. Whether the Ning Family can produce a President might still depend on the two of you.”
“I understand,” Ning Ruixin said with a faint smile.
Ning Yuanxiu nodded with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Ning Yichen.
Ning Yichen looked up, “Father, I will also try my best.”
“Good,” Ning Yuanxiu’s expression softened somewhat, “You’ve just got married recently, which is a great opportunity for networking. The distinguished guests who attended the wedding feast, you should revisit them when possible, of course, bring your wife with you.”
Ning Yichen’s lips curved into a sarcastic arc.
Perhaps sensing his reluctance, Ning Yuanxiu said sternly, “Yichen, I forgave you for running away from your wedding last time, but if you screw up again, I won’t give you a third chance!”
Ning Yichen clenched his fist tightly and said hoarsely, “Understood.”
“And Ruixin, since you still have half of your holiday left, meet with Shen Qiao’an more often. I have spoken to the Shen Family’s parents, and they are very supportive,” Ning Yuanxiu stated, “Plan your wedding during your next vacation.”
Ning Ruixin tugged at the corner of her mouth, though unwilling, she could only respond affirmatively.
One after another, they left Ning Yuanxiu’s study.
Ning Ruixin, seeing her brother’s face becoming more resolute, suddenly laughed, “Yichen, it looks like you’re planning to fight for it too.”
