Cinderella Innocent and Boss Charming - Chapter 224
Chapter 224 Take Care of Your Life and Stay Away from Him
The next morning, because he had an appointment with Shen Li to play golf, Jiang Kaiwei got up early. It was not because he was going to play golf that he got up early. He did not sleep well and it had been his habit to get up early.
It was a bit gloomy and windy. It was actually more comfortable to stay at home in this kind of weather. But he didn’t call to cancel the appointment. Perhaps playing golf was just an excuse. When he wasn’t at work, he needed something to distract his energy.
Strangely enough, although he did not sleep well, he was always full of energy. Even if he did not sleep all night, he would still be energetic the next day when he entered the company.
Because it was the weekend and so early, there weren’t many cars on the road. He drove a sports car that shuttled through the traffic smoothly with noisy sounds of the engine.
Although most of the time he let his driver drive for him, he occasionally drove on his own, taking the high-speed road around the city to feel the pleasures of being able to move at a fast speed.
When he arrived at the clubhouse, it was a little earlier than the appointed time. He called Shen Li, and. But the Young Master Shen’s voice was sleepy. “Do you really want to play golf on such a cold day? I thought you were joking.”
He wasn’t angry and said, “I’ll have breakfast first and won’t wait for you.”
Shen Li laughed inexplicably on the other end of the phone. It came out of the blue and was so sudden as if someone was tickling him. Then, he scolded in a low voice. In an instant, Jiang Kaiwei understood. He said, “Forget it if you don’t have time.”
“Don’t do that. I will come.” Shen Li smiled and said, “Wait, I’ll be right there.”
After hanging up, Jiang Kaiwei ordered a sandwich with eggs and a glass of water for his breakfast. He didn’t remember when he started to like to have a simple meal. Because it wasn’t troublesome. He hated to have a meal that needed adding more seasonings or mixing with other dishes. It was so complicated. He didn’t have the time nor had such a mood.
Although the breakfast was simple, he still ate it elegantly. He held a silver knife and fork and carefully cut the sandwich. He did it very gentlemanly. Because the Jiang family had only one heir in the last three generations straight, each successor had been trained to be extraordinarily magnanimous. When people met him for the first time, they were always easily deceived by his gentlemanly style.
After breakfast, he stood in front of the huge glass curtain and stared blankly at the distant lawn. At this moment, the sky became somewhat bright. The gray sky turned blue. Although the sun still hadn’t risen, it was bright with white clouds. The weather had improved.
He didn’t care whether the weather was good or not. It was nothing to do with him playing golf. This place was closed last year and would be not opened until March this year. At the moment, he could only play golf in a simulating chamber. It didn’t matter to him. He was just killing time anyway.
After a while, Shen Li arrived. As soon as he met Jiang Kaiwei, he smiled maliciously, “Did you have a good time last night?”
Jiang Kaiwei snorted. “Have you had breakfast?”
“I was in a hurry to see you. How can I have time to eat?” Shen Li sat down at the table and said, “You are my boss. When you gave the order, I immediately brushed my teeth and came here to see you.”
“Is that so?” Jiang Kaiwei said indifferently, “I thought you would stay with your mate for quite a while.”
Shen Li smiled and said, “How about your night? You look so energetic. You must be satisfied, right?”
Jiang Kaiwei snorted, “How can I compare with you? You brought your mate back to spend the night. Who is her?”
“She is,” Shen Li boasted, “one of my girlfriends.”
Jiang Kaiwei finally smiled and took a sip of water. The waiter brought Shen Li’s breakfast. But what he brought were a bowl of white rice porridge, soup dumplings, and a glass of soy milk.
Shen Li took a sip of the soy milk and gave an appreciative smack of his lips. “I love the soy milk here. It is like the one served in the canteen of the courtyard. It has the original flavor and the smell of soy.”
Jiang Kaiwei had been exposed to Western cultures since childhood and was not very interested in Chinese food. He especially disliked the smell of the soy milk and could not help but cover his nose with his hand.
Shen Li glanced at him and said with disdain, “What I hate the most is capitalists like you who worship and have blind faith in foreign things. You always think that the moon is more full in foreign countries and everything is better there. In fact, China has a vast and profound food culture for over 5,000 years. How can those small countries with a history of several hundred years compare to China? My dad said that some Chinese people nowadays claimed they were patriotic. But what they bought were all foreign things from dresses, houses, cars, cigarettes, and wine. They thought all foreign things were good and almost wanted to get their skin changed and become a foreigner.”
“Enough, finish your breakfast first,” said Jiang Kaiwei. “don’t you feel embarrassed when criticizing others? What you have are also foreign things from your car, house, and cigarettes to wine.”
“I never touch foreign cigarettes.” Shen Li slapped a cigarette case on the table. “Look, it is a Chinese brand!”
Jiang Kaiwei picked up the cigarette case and picked up a cigarette. Just as he touched the silver lighter and lit the fire, Shen Li shouted, “How do you smoke my cigarette? Don’t you have any yourself?”
Jiang Kaiwei smiled and said, “I want to smoke a Chinese cigarette like you.”
Just as Shen Li was about to speak, he saw persons who came in. He lowered his voice and said, “Xia Nanze is here.”
“What does it have to do with us?”
Xia Nanze wasn’t alone. He brought Lin Weiyin along because she said she wanted to learn golf and didn’t have time to go to the south. He could only come here with her to practice. He didn’t expect to meet Jiang Kaiwei and Shen Li. Just as he was thinking about whether he should go over and greet Shen Li, Lin Weiyin already said, “Isn’t that Young Master Shen?”
The voice wasn’t loud. But they had heard it. Xia Nanze could only bring Lin Weiyin over to greet them. “Young Master Shen, why do you come here on the weekend? You are supposed to sleep in the bed at the moment.”
Shen Li smiled and said, “Didn’t you come here too?” He nodded at Lin Weiyin. “Hello, Miss Lin, Xia Nanze is excellent. But he knows little about romance. This isn’t a good place to date.”
Lin Weiyin said, “I wanted to come here. My next movie is a commercial one. There’s a golf scene in it. I don’t know anything about it so I asked him to bring me to practice.”
Shen Li suddenly figured it out. “I see. Xia Nanze is not a patient man. It’s rare for him to be willing to teach you.”
Lin Weiyin didn’t answer. She quickly glanced at Xia Nanze and only smiled.
Xia Nanze’s impatience quickly showed itself. He urged Lin Weiyin, “If you want to learn golf, let’s hurry up and leave. You can learn it in a short while.”
Lin Weiyin smiled and said goodbye. She left with Xia Nanze. Shen Li shouted, “Miss Lin, I have patience. Next time, I’ll teach you.”
Lin Weiyin did not reply. She turned her head and smiled sweetly. Xia Nanze glared at him. Then Shen Li shouted, “Nanze, let’s play cards next time!”
Xia Nanze did not look back. He raised his right hand and swayed it. Lin Weiyin whispered, “Is it Jiang group’s Jiang Kaiwei who is with Shen Li?”
“What? Do you want to know him?” Xia Nanze’s face darkened.
“No, I’m just asking.” Lin Weiyin carefully looked at his expression, “Did you guys have a grudge?”
Xia Nanze turned to look at her. “What do you want to know?”
“I just find it strange. You are the shareholder of the Jiang group and he is the boss. Why didn’t you even greet him?”
“You’ve even heard about this kind of thing. You really have the ability!” Xia Nanze mocked, “Perhaps you should ask Shen Li to teach you, I really don’t have the patience.”
Lin Weiyin felt a little aggrieved. “I just mentioned it in passing. Why did you lose your temper? I will not mention it anymore.”
Xia Nanze fell silent for a moment and said, “Don’t be curious about Jiang Kaiwei and don’t ask about the things between me and him. Just remember that he is a very dangerous man. Take care of your life and stay away from him. Do you understand?”
Lin Weiyin chuckled and said, “You are really funny. Why did you want me to take care of my life? To me, you are a dangerous person!”
“Is that so? Am I dangerous?” Xia Nanze leaned forward with a flirtatious smile and was gently pushed away by Lin Weiyin. “Be careful of someone taking pictures.”
“Don’t someone dare. Could he even sneak into the clubhouse and take pictures? I’ll break his leg!”
Lin Weiyin giggled, “Then you’ll be famous. You’ll definitely be even more famous than me!”
When they walked into the simulating field, Shen Li had just finished his breakfast. He said to Jiang Kaiwei, “It’s been two times we encountered Xia Nanze bringing Lin Weiyin along. It looks like it’s real. Young Master Xia Nanze finally found someone who can deal with him.”
Jiang Kaiwei said unhappily, “You always talk about the Xia siblings in front of me. You are so annoying. Do the two of them have anything to do with me?”
“How can it not be?” Shen Li said, “Xia Nanze is a shareholder in the Jiang group. He used to be a good friend to you. Xia Xiaowan is also your ex-girlfriend. So they have an important relationship with you,”
Jiang Kaiwei turned even unhappy, saying, “If you keep talking this, you’ll not be my friend anymore”
“Look, is this necessary?” Shen Li was puzzled. “Why do you react so badly? They’re not your enemy! You just had a falling out with Xia Xiaowan. Moreover, you still like her! What’s that big deal?”
Jiang Kaiwei surely said it when he was angry. He had been alone for many years and only had a friend like Shen Li. How could he really fall out with him? It was merely a warning to him to restrain his words. However, Shen Li was not easy to deal with. He ignored the warning and said what he wanted to say. Jiang Kaiwei had no choice but to stand up and leave.
Shen Li stopped as soon as he saw something wrong and chased after him into the simulation chamber.
While playing golf, Shen Li suddenly remembered something and said, “I almost forgot something. The second batch of payment of the Gu group for the Eco-Park project hasn’t been made yet. It was supposed to be paid last year. You said that it could be delayed until the end of the New Year. It’s been so long and the Gu group hasn’t made a move yet. Should we notify them?”
“I knew this.” Jiang Kaiwei bent down and gently pushed the ball out. “Gu Nianjing called me and said they encountered a problem and needed a few more days. I agreed. Since we’re working together, we should be lenient.”
Shen Li exclaimed, “When did you become so kind-hearted?” We can still wait now. But as long as the weather improves, we will need money. Yesterday, Team Leader Chen of the Supervisory Group asked me how things were going. This is a government project and also a face-saving project. It is watched closely by many persons. We can’t be careless. It’s better to urge him to hurry up and transfer the fund early to avoid unexpected troubles.”
“You don’t have to worry about it. I’ll call Gu Nianjing myself.”
Shen Li smiled and nodded, “That’s good!”
Jiang Kaiwei also smiled. But the smile stopped at the side of his mouth, far from reaching his eyes.
