Jiang Yueru asked her to go to Jiang Shenghe’s office to see how the business trip would be arranged.

Luo Qi didn’t dare to delay. She left Jiang Yueru’s office and went directly upstairs to the President’s office.

In the Secretary’s office area, Secretary Ju was waiting for her. She raised her chin at Luo Qi in greeting and motioned for her to go directly to Chief Jiang’s with a smile.

Luo Qi don’t know if it was merely her illusion, but she thought that Secretary Ju’s smile was exceptionally bright today; perhaps it was because the holidays were just around the corner, and it got her into a good mood.

Today Jiang Shenghe’s office door was closed; Luo Qi knocked twice, “Chief Jiang.”

“Come in.”

Permission obtained, Luo Qi opened the door and went in. The door had been closed earlier, so she closed it again after stepping through. Every time she came to Jiang Shenghe’s office, it was like having to go through adversity, and she had to be more cautious throughout the whole process.

Jiang Shenghe was looking at some documents and didn’t bother to look at her, “Did Director Jiang tell you?”

“Yes, she explained it all.”

“Have a seat.” There was a stack of information in his hand; he handed it to her, “Look it over.”

Luo Qi flipped through the information about Yuanwei Medical.

She was not allowed to take it back with her to read, so she had to sit down and study it slowly.

From the corner of Jiang Shenghe’s eyes, he saw her sit down across the desk.

With her beside him like this, he felt at ease.

Luo Qi finished reading all the materials then glanced at her watch: it was already half past ten. The time had passed so quickly. In front of the boss, she didn’t dare to be distracted, didn’t dare to get lost in her thoughts, and even had to put the matter of her broken relationship and all its messy aftermath behind her.

Her phone vibrated. Luo Qi glanced at it, and saw it was Jiang Shenghe who sent her a message.

She quickly picked up her phone and clicked on it—it seemed the boss shared a business card with her.

Luo Qi didn’t know who the person on the business card was, so she looked up at Jiang Shenghe.

Jiang Shenghe said, “Add the driver’s contact information. He will take you home to pack your luggage and bring you directly to the airport.”

“We’re going to Haicheng today?” Luo Qi asked.

“Yes. The flight is at 3:30.”

Naturally, Luo Qi would not have any objections to the boss’s arrangement, and she was used to going on business trips even on such short notice. “Then I’ll go back to the office first and get my laptop.”

Jiang Shenghe only nodded, but the moment she turned around to walk towards the door, he couldn’t help but look up at watch her go.

… …

On the way home, Luo Qi told her cousin that she was going on a business trip to Haicheng and would not be at home during the holidays.

Luo Yu: [Just try to relax.]

Haicheng was summer all year round. Luo Qi brought a few long skirts suitable for business occasions and one thin-strapped dress. Perhaps she could have time to go to the beach in the evenings.

The newly rented house was on the third floor, and there was no elevator.

Luo Qi brought out the suitcase—which was not too heavy, locked the door, and went downstairs carrying it.

The driver did not return to the company after picking her up but went directly to the airport.

Luo Qi sent a message to Secretary Ju: [Master, I have already set off for the airport. Have you also left?]

Secretary Ju came back with a voice message: [I’m not going to Haicheng, I thought Chief Jiang told you. Chief Jiang usually takes young people who are not yet married on business trips during the holidays, to try and give those with family and kids like me some holiday time. After all, we could only have the holidays to accompany our children to go out and play. This time Chief Jiang is going to Haicheng with Xiao Jiang. He was also my apprentice once. He is younger than you. You can just call him ‘Xiao Jiang’. If you have anything you need help with, just arrange for him to do it. I have already told him to assist you.]

Luo Qi sent a sad emoji, [I brought a summer dress and planned to go for a walk on the beach with you.]

Secretary Ju: [I can wait. When the two of us go on a trip again, I will definitely accompany you on a walk on the beach.]

Luo Qi couldn’t help but feel stressed when she thought that if her master didn’t go, she would have to deal with the boss alone.

… …

When she arrived at the airport, Jiang Shenghe hasn’t arrived yet.

After waiting for about ten minutes, people from the team finally arrived. Behind Jiang Shenghe was Xiao Jiang, looking tall, thin and gentle; all in all, looking quite reliable. Jiang Shenghe himself only carried a laptop bag, and his two suitcases were pulled by bodyguards.

After saying hello, Luo Qi and Jiang Shenghe walked forward side by side. He explained the work, “Tomorrow morning, I will talk to Director He about some problems we’ve encountered in the project and discuss possible solutions. You will participate then.”

“Okay.”

While talking, Jiang Shenghe received a call.

He was holding the laptop bag in his right hand, and his suit jacket was draped on his left arm. Luo Qi reached out, wanting to help carry the laptop bag so that he could answer the phone.

He didn’t let her carry the bag but instead handed her his suit jacket to hold.

Jiang Shenghe never once asked other members of the opposite sex to help him with his clothes, not even Secretary Ju.
