Chapter 130: Speaking out of integrity
For a moment, Ji Jingshen felt a pang of jealousy.
"President, shall we go to the hotel?"
His secretary was shocked. He never expected that his wife was also in Country A. But what puzzled him was why the president didn't go to see her directly.
It was from a distance that he seemed somewhat familiar, though he couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.
"Go back."
Ji Jingshen turned and left, and the secretary behind him suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Ji Jingshen in shock.
He remembered that the president's expression just now was exactly the same as when he was heartbroken and watching his girlfriend leave.
But how could that be? Madam, I'm leaving. They're already married; at most, they'll just have a few arguments...
quarrel?
The secretary glanced suspiciously at the man in front of her.
Alright, the case is solved. It was just a fight between the young couple. In a fit of anger, the wife ran away to Country A, and their CEO followed her there eagerly.
"President, that person just now looked like Madam. Why don't we go over and say hello to her?"
The secretary said cautiously.
"After all, it's possible that the lady might encounter danger if she were out alone."
Ji Jingshen paused slightly. Noticing his movement, his secretary was already preparing to take a taxi to Song Qianyi's place, but she heard Ji Jingshen's cold and piercing voice.
“They’ve already been taken care of properly, what danger could there be? If you’re worried, you can go by yourself, you don’t need to stay by my side.”
The secretary looked up in shock at the man who had already left, cursed him inwardly for being so talkative, and quickly followed him.
Why should he go and care about Song Qianyi? He didn't even consider Song Qianyi's feelings when he left without saying goodbye today, so why should he bother making a fool of himself?
Ji Jingshen walked forward with his head down, trying hard to ignore the blockage in his heart.
Ever since seeing Ji Jingshen's dark expression, the secretary didn't dare to say anything more the whole way. She only breathed a sigh of relief after watching Ji Jingshen get out of the car and leave at the hotel entrance.
The next morning, Ji Jingshen arrived at the branch office early.
As Ji Jingshen's chief secretary, he naturally followed him at all times. However, when he saw the project's cooperation method, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes as he thought of the figure of his wife that he had seen on the street last night.
He seemed to understand something.
The way she looked at Ji Jingshen was full of ambiguity.
He thought his boss had really argued with his wife, but it turned out he was just being hypocritical. He said he wasn't worried, but he still followed her over.
According to normal procedures, this contract would never appear on my desk, since the conditions for cooperating with them are not yet met.
But things changed after the lady joined; the review process became the bare minimum.
"President, there's a gathering at the research institute in a few days. Would you like to attend on behalf of our partners?"
The secretary had originally intended to take this opportunity to ease the tension between the two, but Ji Jingshen simply looked up and gave him a cold glance.
"If you want to go, then go by yourself. The cooperation hasn't even been finalized yet, how do you know they'll definitely succeed?"
The secretary's lips twitched; he shouldn't have said anything in the first place.
If the boss wasn't worried about his wife, why would he have followed her all the way from China to abroad and personally overseen this project?
He was waiting for his boss to embarrass him.
dorm room.
Song Qianyi had just fallen asleep when it was light this morning, but she was woken up by a piercing cell phone ringtone shortly after falling asleep.
"Junior sister, our mentor is back from out of town and has organized a gathering tonight. You absolutely have to come!"
Song Qianyi was stunned for a moment before realizing that it was Li Yang who had called her.
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, senior brother."
After hanging up the phone, Song Qianyi couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did, so she got up, tidied herself up quickly, and went out.
Although I brought a lot of things with me when I was abroad, it was impossible to bring everything. There were still some necessities that I needed to buy.
Song Qianyi spent almost the entire day in the mall, only leaving when it was almost time for their appointment in the evening.
The mall staff delivered her purchases directly to her dorm, while Song Qianyi went to a party.
"Qianyi, you've finally arrived. You didn't disappoint me. I thought you would refuse when I sent you that email."
The tutor looked at Song Qianyi with satisfaction. She was his favorite student, and he would never allow anything to disturb her studies.
"I owe this opportunity to my teacher's guidance. I'd like to toast you with this glass."
As she spoke, Song Qianyi picked up a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, leaving the people around her in shock.
That's quite a high alcohol tolerance.
Some of those who were initially eager to get her drunk quietly put down their glasses.
Song Qianyi glanced at the expressions on their faces out of the corner of her eye and silently curled her lips into a smile.
I noticed those people when I came in. Drinking is fine, but you absolutely can't drink too much.
That's good, at least it will prevent them from looking down on her.
The tutor next to her saw his expression clearly, but did not expose her. He knew his students better than anyone what kind of people they were. They were fine when doing serious things, but once they got involved, they had no scruples whatsoever.
They thought tonight would be another party where everyone would drink until they dropped, but Song Qianyi gave them a real shock when she arrived.
This was unexpected for him.
But it's good that someone can finally keep these little brats in check.
"This is your senior brother, Li Yang. You should have already met him."
After the mentor's introduction, Song Qianyi memorized all the people she would be meeting. However, she was somewhat shocked by Li Yang's identity, since he looked very young, not even thirty years old, yet he was their senior brother.
The people next to her laughed at her meaningful expression.
"Junior Sister, do you think Senior Brother is too young? Don't underestimate him. He was born into a family of doctors, and he has lived with his mentor since he was a child. You could say he was raised by his mentor personally."
Hearing the explanation from the person next to her, Song Qianyi suddenly realized what was going on.
So that's where the experience comes from.
"You're joking. It's all thanks to everyone's help that I was able to complete those projects on my own."
Li Yang laughed heartily.
After the meal, Song Qianyi had a general understanding of the people in the research lab. He liked the relaxed atmosphere, which was free of intrigue and backstabbing.
Everyone focused on their own research projects and helped each other.
"Don't say I don't care about you. It's been three days since you reported to the research institute. You should have rested enough in these three days. Go to the research institute tomorrow. I have a project waiting for you to join."
