After saying goodbye to Li Rui, Luo Qi struggled for a few seconds in the elevator and finally pressed the button for the ground floor instead of going to the 42nd floor.

After getting off the elevator and walking a few steps, someone called her from behind, “Ms. Luo.”

“…”

This was unmistakably Jiang Shenghe’s voice.

Luo Qi turned around. Jiang Shenghe just came out of the special elevator, followed by Xiao Jiang, who gave her a sympathetic look.

It was so pitiful how she couldn’t escape the boss no matter how hard she tried.

Xiao Jiang went to the car ahead, while Jiang Shenghe walked straight over to her.

“Did you report to Li Rui?”

Luo Qi nodded, wondering how to explain why she didn’t go to him.

Jiang Shenghe stood in front of her, blocking the people inside the car from seeing her expression.

He lowered his voice, “If I didn’t have to go out for something right now, I wouldn’t have seen you.”

Luo Qi buttoned his suit jacket for him.

Looking into his eyes, she said “Chief Jiang, you have somewhere to go?”

This ‘Chief Jiang’ was more powerful than any apology.

Jiang Shenghe was happy and no longer cared about why she came to Yuanwei without telling him, “Yeah, to talk about cooperation. I may get home a little late tonight. You eat first without waiting for me.”

Because she called him ‘Chief Jiang’, she would have to stay in the villa tonight.

Luo Qi said, “I will wait for you so we can eat together.”

Jiang Shenghe promised, “Then I will try to go back as soon as possible.”

… …

While the two were being very affectionate, Xiao Jiang was in the car praying for Luo Qi. The boss had been settling accounts for so long; poor Luo Qi would probably collapse soon.

When Jiang Shenghe got in the car, Xiao Jiang found that the boss seemed to be in a good mood?

Jiang Shenghe didn’t have time to ask Luo Qi what she reported to Li Rui, so he called Li Rui directly.

Li Rui had been looking over Luo Qi’s plan, and she clearly saw Luo Qi’s purpose. 

“The plan is good, and I can see no big problems with it being passed at the high-level meeting,” she said.

“There is no need to bring it to the meeting for discussion. Just respond to her directly and implement her ideas.”

Li Rui was shocked. As far as she knew, Jiang Shenghe has never trusted anyone so unconditionally before.

To be on the safe side, “Chief Jiang, are you not going to look at the plan?”

“No need.”

He knew without looking at the plan that Luo Qi would not only focus on Ruipu but also take care of Yuanwei Medical. She would find a balance for the two companies to coexist and enhance their respective competitiveness.

While she agreed in principle, Li Rui still intended to make compromises on Luo Qi’s plan. While agreeing to back off on the mid- to low-end products, she would also seek to gain some benefits for Yuanwei Medical, trying to make up for the inevitable losses and at the same time appease Yuanwei Medical’s management.

But now, Jiang Shenghe has spoken and directly agreed with Luo Qi’s plan. How could Yuanwei Medical make up for its losses?

Jiang Shenghe replied, “There is no need to make up for it. Without Luo Qi, there would be no Yuanwei Medical.”

Li Rui was confused.

Jiang Shenghe did not explain.

Even if he explained it, they wouldn’t understand.

No one knew how deeply he loved Luo Qi.

… …

In mid-October, Luo Qi received a large amount of money in her bank account. After inquiring, she found out that it was the bonus for the third quarter.

Jiang Shenghe declared that he did not pressure the finance department—who would believe this?

Luo Qi sent a screenshot of the text message showing the increase in her bank account balance to Jiang Shenghe: [I got rich.]

Jiang Shenghe smiled: [Invite me to dinner?]

[Okay. When we try on wedding dresses, I’ll invite you to the tavern.]

Luo Qi couldn’t guess what the boss’ annual salary was. Although the boss only took a nominal salary, he nevertheless didn’t lack this salary at all, so it made her curious.

[Chief Jiang, how much is your salary?]

Jiang Shenghe: [My salary is confidential and cannot be told to subordinates.]

Luo Qi asked again: [Husband, how much is your salary?]

Jiang Shenghe replied: [I will give you the bank card when I get home tonight. You can check it yourself.]

In fact, Luo Qi still had one of his black cards. She did not return it to him when she resigned from the President’s office.

She was worried that he would be too sensitive if she returned it.

If he also gave her his salary bank card, then she could only accept it.

Once her family’s debt was paid off, she could give him more gifts in return.

On Saturday, Jiang Shenghe accompanied her to try on wedding dresses.

They were the first customers to arrive.

There were two VIP fitting rooms on the second floor of the bridal shop. Each room was probably thirty or forty square meters, with a dedicated waiting lounge and makeup area.

The staff led them to the first VIP room, and all the wedding dresses Luo Qi liked had already been brought to the fitting room in advance.

The makeup artist arrived early to wait for Luo Qi. Luo Qi turned to Jiang Shenghe and said, “I will try two dresses without putting my hair up first, and then try another few sets with my hair up.”

She wanted him to see how her hair would look combed and styled.

“You go to the waiting lounge first and wait for me.”

Just standing here was boring.

Jiang Shenghe originally had no intention of going to the lounge area, but he was worried that simply standing nearby would affect the performance of the makeup artist.

He took out a wedding magazine from magazine rack and sat down to read it.

Luo Qi has good skin and didn’t need to spend much time putting on makeup.

Wedding dresses were cumbersome, and she needed assistance when trying one on. The staff had just brought one over for her to try. Jiang Shenghe washed his hands, dried them, and walked over, “I’ll do it.”

This wedding dress was simple in style, and Luo Qi put it on easily.

Jiang Shenghe carefully closed the hidden zipper, paying attention not to snag any of her hair in.

Luo Qi thought that when he wanted to accompany her to try on the wedding dress, he would just watch the effect after she put it on. 

In fact, he helped her put it on without anyone else’s assistance.
