The lunch that Silent Sister brought over at noon could be considered a luxury item. People around the office were all speechless when they saw it.
“OMG, the first young master of the Jiang family has eight dishes and two soups for lunch. This is too luxurious!”
“The food smells so good. It must be made by a professional chef. His one big meal probably costs half our monthly salary. We can only dream about things like this.”
“Some people just reincarnated well. They don’t have to do anything and would get a promotion, a raise, and a big meal. While people like us must work really hard to earn our keep. Sigh.”
Song Zhou wasn’t angry when he heard their jealous mocking. He even walked up to them with a smile and said, “My young master’s lunch wasn’t too abundant today but if you don’t mind, we can eat together.”
Their colleagues looked at each other. “Um, this isn’t quite appropriate…”
Song Zhou smiled amiably. “There’s nothing inappropriate about this. We are all colleagues. My young master and I just joined the company today and don’t know anything. Just treat it as us making friends. Let’s eat together.”
The few of them looked at the sumptuous lunch on the table and then at each other. If even their department head Mr. Li didn’t dare to offend this young master, they would not dare to offend him either. They all smiled and sat down together for lunch, chatting politely.
Song Zhou listened to them talk about the company and admired the young master in his heart.
When the young master asked Silent Sister to send ten dishes over, Song Zhou was still puzzled. Was he trying to show off his wealth?
Now, he understood. By winning over their colleagues with lunch, not only could they learn a lot about the company, but they could also make friends. They didn’t have to buy them a big meal at a restaurant.
Tsk, this was the more economical option.
And this was how people who make a lot of money always achieved big things with less money!
There were many people here who had worked here for years. They knew the most common problems in the customer service department, as well as the newest and the most difficult problems. They could see the outlook for Jiang Corporation and its shortcomings from these customer feedback.
Song Zhou listened carefully and quietly turned on the voice recorder on his phone.
After the meal, everyone took a power nap before they started work again.
Oh, it was Song Zhou who started work again. The first young master continued his afternoon nap and woke up slowly only when it was past three o’clock.
He took a sip of the hot tea that Song Zhou brought him and played games until Song Zhou brought in a large fruit platter that Silent Sister had prepared.
It didn’t cost much to buy and cut the fruits but Silent Sister placed them on a very luxurious fruit plate, which made the whole dish look really expensive.
Jiang Jingchen ate a few pieces of fruit before he asked Song Zhou to share the platter with the others. The other employees were jealous, but they were also pleased.
They enjoyed some benefits from having a young master in their department. This wasn’t a bad thing for them at all.
Therefore, everyone added Song Zhou on WeChat and even added him to their group chat, saying that they would ask him along if they go out outside of work.
When it was time to get off work, the other employees had to work overtime, and overtime was paid.
Did the first young master of the Jiang family care about that little bit of overtime pay?
Everyone thought that he would leave, but he didn’t. He worked overtime, or rather, he played games and got off work with everyone else.
When everyone was packing up for the day, they looked at the first young master strangely as he left.
The first young master of the Jiang family didn’t really want to work overtime. It was just that his wife wasn’t done with classes yet. He would be bored if he went home. He might as well stay here and let Song Zhou work more.
Song Zhou, who was paid a salary but doing several jobs, glanced at Jiang Jingchen.
He didn’t dare to say anything.
When their car arrived at the dance studio, Jiang Jingchen saw his wife standing outside the studio and waving at him. He opened his own car door and got out to fetch her.
Ruan Qi said a quick hi to him and flung her bag over her shoulder. She looked straight ahead as she walked past the car with Song Zhou inside it.
Song Zhou lowered his head to look at his phone, but his gaze fell on the woman’s shoes. It was a pair of canvas shoes with mango prints, very Ruan Qi. She walked quickly and left his sight.
Song Zhou furrowed his brows and remained silent.
Jiang Jingchen held Tang Beibei’s hand as they got into the car. “Hubby, how was your first day at work?”
“Hmm, not bad.”
“Really? Did they bully you?”
“No. If they did, 1 would show them my ugly face and scared them to death!”
Tang Beibei gently stroked his scarred cheek. “How long are you going to keep this scar on you? Is it uncomfortable to wear it like this?”
“It’s alright. I’m used to it. I’m waiting for the right opportunity to remove this scar!”
Tang Beibei was confused. Jiang Jingchen stared at her for a while before he said in a low voice, “Beibei, my mother committed suicide back then. Everyone said that she did it because she couldn’t recover from her postnatal depression. When I was injured and went abroad to recuperate, someone told me that my mother did not commit suicide but was hound to death.”
“So, I want to avenge my mother. As for how I’m going to do it, don’t ask. But don’t worry either because I won’t put myself in danger.”
It was Tang Beibei’s first time hearing him talk about his mother, and she was so nervous that her hands were trembling.
“Hubby, although you didn’t have your mother’s company in the past, you’ll have my company in the future. Don’t be too sad.”
Jiang Jingchen rubbed her head gently. “Beibei, my mother will be happy to have you accompany me.”
Tang Beibei gave him a silly smile and leaned against him. “From now on, we’ll be each other’s family, hehe.”
Jiang Jingchen chuckled and turned to look at her. “Aren’t you curious when is the right opportunity I mentioned?”
“I will listen if you’d like to tell me. It’s fine too if you don’t want to tell me as long as you are not in any danger.”
She was respecting his secret.
Jiang Jingchen’s heart softened. “Beibei, don’t be afraid. It’s not a big deal.”
“Big or small deal, it doesn’t matter. I’ll work hard to become stronger, so you don’t have to worry about me.”
“It took a lot for you to recover, so you must know what you are doing. You’re a man. It’s good to have your own ideas.”
Actually, she had her doubts.
She had seen his kung fu skills with her own eyes when he took down those men with ease last time, so she thought that he must have put in a lot of effort, painful efforts, to recover from his injuries.
Despite everything that happened, he was the first young master of the Jiang family. It was said that before he got into the car accident, he was extremely talented and was called a genius.
How could such a man hide at home to watch over her?
She respected what he did because he supported and encouraged her in everything she did, so she chose to trust him.
Jiang Jingchen was stunned for a few seconds when he heard her words. “Beibei, aren’t you worried that I’ll learn bad behavior outside?”
Tang Beibei’s eyes widened. Thinking that he was indeed quite demanding, she grabbed his sleeve nervously and said, “No!”
Jiang Jingchen was amused by her silly look. “Silly Beibei, I’m only bad to you. I’m just teasing you. Don’t think too much.”
Tang Beibei nodded and whispered to him, “1’11 be extremely cooperative in future but you can’t think about other women.”
Jiang Jingchen raised his eyebrows and asked her softly, “Extremely cooperative? You said it yourself!”
“Then you must not betray me. I hate, hate it very much when my husband has ambiguous relationships with other women.”
Jiang Jingchen pinched the back of her neck and whispered in her ear, “Then think of a way to make me devote all my energy to you. Then, there won’t be any other women.”
Tang Beibei bit her lip. She was thinking about it seriously.
“Silly Beibei, why are you so cute?”
“What? I’m cute?”
Tang Beibei was baffled. She clearly hadn’t done anything.
However, her natural silliness when thinking seriously made him want to bully her the most.
Jiang Jingchen couldn’t deny it.. He was having crazy thoughts about her, the kind that would get out of hand once started!
