On the first day of work after the holidays, Ruipu moved.

Luo Qi had no personal belongings in the office, and all her things in the cabinets could be packed into one box.

Before the holiday, she asked Chi Xin to notify everyone to sort everything out and pack those that could be packed first. Now, that early planning saved a lot of time, and the moving company could load the boxes directly when they arrived.

At half past ten, the grand procession started moving into Yuanwei Building.

The administrative department of Yuanwei Building did a great job and specially reserved an elevator for them so they could move things in today.

The 15th and 16th floors were the office area allocated to Ruipu. Luo Qi’s office was on the 16th floor, and the multi-functional reception area was also on this floor.

The new product display at the reception area felt unreal. Before, Ruipu had only spent tens of thousands of yuan on the renovation of their old office building and was not willing to use the best materials.

Only Jiang Shenghe would be so attentive to her, knowing what she liked and bringing all her favorite things to life here.

Chi Xin came in carrying a box and was shocked by the high-tech display area. “Ms. Luo, you also had a display area made here, but much bigger!”

Luo Qi smiled and did not deny it.

Shu Rui himself had always wanted such a display area, but the conditions of their office space at the time did not allow it—there was also matter of money. When he stepped in through the doors, he saw the scene in front of him and had the same reaction as Chi Xin.

“Mr. Shu,” Chi Xin greeted when she saw Shu Rui.

Shu Rui nodded and asked, “Which one is my office?”

“At the northernmost part.”

Their office was located at the southernmost part. The distance between the two offices spanned the conference room, open office area, and multi-functional area. The two offices were far enough apart.

… …

Earlier, in the building lobby on the first floor, Ruipu’s employees were counting and checking boxes. The beautiful receptionist on the first floor came over and pointed at Shu Rui who was making a phone call by the door. She asked in a low voice in which department of Ruipu did the man work.

“He is our President Shu, a shareholder of Ruipu.”

“Oh.” The receptionist smiled, “It was a person from Yuanwei Medical who asked me to ask.”

“…”

Yuanwei Medical’s headquarters and R&D center were both located in Suzhou, but it had a branch in Beijing. The branch office was also in Yuanwei Building.

She has always wondered why Yuanwei Medical’s headquarters was set up all the way in Suzhou.

People started coming in one after another, and soon a circle of people were gathered in the multi-purpose area.

Luo Qi went to her own office. It had a similar layout to her previous one. Jiang Shenghe had a plant rack built by the window, displaying greenery, roses, and two pots of strawberries, one of which had already blossomed red and ready for picking.

There was a card on the shelf:

Congratulations on moving in
—Jiang Shenghe

[I received the housewarming gift. Thank you, Chief Jiang.] Attached was a kissing emoticon.

She looked around the office. [“It’s so luxurious! It feels bigger than the vice president’s office.”] There was even a small lounge behind the bookcase.

Jiang Shenghe replied: [Who made me your husband? If I don’t favor you, who else should I favor?]

He then asked: [Will you have lunch with me?]

[No, I still need to sort things out.]

… …

It was the first day of work for the new year. Jiang Shenghe was busy and did not go to the cafeteria for lunch. Instead, he asked the cafeteria to deliver lunch directly to the office.

He didn’t have time for a lunch break because he had a meeting at 2pm.

At the first executive meeting for the new year, Jiang Shenghe brought his own laptop to the conference room and asked Xiao Jiang to connect it to the projector.

The atmosphere in the conference room was filled with nervous silence. Every time the boss projected his laptop screen, nine times out of ten it was because he was dissatisfied with the current operational status of the areas they were responsible for. He would project various reports from their Yuanwei subsidiaries and big data from competitors for on-site analysis.

Jiang Shenghe muted his phone and sent a message to Luo Qi: [I’ll be in a meeting for about an hour. I’ve muted my phone, so I might not be able to get back to you in time. I’ll call you after the meeting.]

Luo Qi was just getting familiar with working in her new office when she saw the message. Every time he had an important and long meeting, he would report it to her in advance.

She quickly typed: [Husband, you’re busy. I don’t have much to talk to you about. Ruipu will also have a meeting soon.]

Jiang Shenghe placed his locked phone face down on the table. Everyone was gathered. He said, “We’re not going to discuss specific business matters today. Let’s have a look at how Yuanwei has grown over the past decades from a small company of eleven employees to its current trillion-yuan scale. I made this powerpoint myself, so please bear with me.”

One of the directors responded, “That’s good. We can review our past and look to the future on our first day at work.” Speaking of Yuanwei’s early days, he said, “I was one of those eleven people.”

He asked Jiang Shenghe, “Do you have any video footage of our old Yuanwei office?”

Jiang Shenghe nodded, “Yes, I asked my aunt for a lot of the old records.”

Director Xian said with a smile, “Don’t look at my beer belly now or that I don’t have much hair anymore. I’ll show you later that I was quite a handsome guy back then.”

Everyone laughed, and the meeting room was no longer as serious as before.

This was one of the few times when Jiang Shenghe attended a meeting where everyone laughed with him.

Before Xiao Jiang could project the screen, he found that his boss has not logged out of his WeChat.

Jiang Shenghe tilted his head to look at the laptop and spotted the WeChat icon on the taskbar. He said to Xiao Jiang, “Close WeChat.”

“Okay,” Xiao Jiang responded.

He intended to click the right button to exit, but his finger somehow clicked on the left button and the WeChat page popped up.

First contact person: Wife

The avatar was a very familiar one: it was Sister Luo’s.

In the dialog box, Sister Luo’s last message was: [Husband, you are busy, I don’t have much to talk…]

Xiao Jiang was completely confused. Luckily it happened before projecting onto the big screen. If he had committed such a blunder when projecting onto the big screen… he couldn’t even begin to think about the consequences.

What was going on?

Why did they call each other ‘husband’ and ‘wife’?

With two clicks, he finally closed WeChat.

After discovering his boss’ unknown secret, Xiao Jiang’s forehead was covered with sweat, and he wiped it with the back of his hand.

He turned his head to look at the boss; Jiang Shenghe was looking at him quietly.

“Chief Jiang… I… Don’t worry,” he lowered his voice, trying to make amends. “From now on, I promise to provide good cover.”
