Chapter 1336 - 878: Going to Yan Garden_2
"Awesome, I’m gonna die in the company tonight if I have to. It’s the first time I’m finding overtime so blissful!""Um, what should we have for a night snack?"
The biggest advantage of Banyu is its youth; in half a year, it’s on a proper development path with infinite future potential.
The disadvantage is too many tasks, all relying on the boss. Given time, division of labor and unclear responsibilities will inevitably occur.
Jiang Nian’s strategy is... to give money; compared to management and the art of dealing with subordinates, he prefers to look outward.
Rapid development, generously dispensing money. It can suppress all kinds of issues until the next person who’s willing to take over appears.
"Boss, why didn’t you take me along during the daytime meetings?" Fan Yixuan complained in a low voice.
"You went last night; I wanted you to rest more."
"No, boss," Fan Yixuan said solemnly, "I think I can handle it; please don’t pity me!"
Jiang Nian: "...."
Damn it, talking without finesse.
"Next time."
He said, "Definitely next time."
After Jiang Nian left, Fan Yixuan sighed. At this moment, Liu Rui approached her with curiosity.
"President Fan, what’s wrong?"
"Cough, don’t call me that." Fan Yixuan was speechless, "If the boss hears, who knows what he’ll think."
"Just joking around."
"Don’t even joke. The boss goes out at night for meetings and doesn’t include me anymore." Fan Yixuan lamented.
Liu Rui: "???"
"Isn’t it normal not to include you since you’re married? Going home late at night, your husband and kids might overthink."
"Overthink what!"
Fan Yixuan was annoyed, "My husband’s clueless, not blind; he’s always asking me not to have any other thoughts."
On the other side.
Having finished his meetings, Jiang Nian returned home late at night. He opened the door and found Yu Zhiyi watching TV.
"Did you go out to have fun today?"
"No." Yu Zhiyi lazily replied, "Woke up at 3 PM, then it’s dark in a blink."
"Alright, you can go tomorrow..."
"Can’t go anywhere." Yu Zhiyi rolled her eyes at him, "Don’t you know what you’ve done?"
"Talk properly." Jiang Nian didn’t bother with her.
"Okay."
"Tonight... can I?" Yu Zhiyi hesitated, "Just take a little rest."
"Either yes or no."
"What do you mean by rest?"
"Forget it." Yu Zhiyi seemed resigned, "Sort it out yourself."
"Help yourself?"
"No!!" Yu Zhiyi was grinding her teeth in anger, "Are you even human, being so heartless?"
"Being a boss is like that." Jiang Nian laughed, looking at her, "Get it done if you can, say so if you can’t."
Seeing Yu Zhiyi was about to cry, he then said, "How about this, tomorrow I’ll make time to hang out with you."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"I passed by a store today; there was a pair of shoes quite suitable for you."
"No, don’t." Yu Zhiyi instinctively refused, "I don’t lack shoes. Don’t buy random stuff."
Jiang Nian glanced at her, "Bought for me to see; what are you refusing? Remember to wear them next time."
Yu Zhiyi: "...."
The next morning.
Jiang Nian had left again, leaving only Yu Zhiyi alone. She got out of bed and went downstairs to the bathroom.
She tilted her head and touched her cheek, checking in the mirror repeatedly.
"This person is really....."
Complaining finished, she turned and moved in front of the mirror, admired her chest for a moment, feeling quite beautiful.
...
In the blink of an eye, early May.
Zhenan Middle School.
"Okay, today’s class ends here." Qingbao glanced at her fair wrist, checking the time on her watch.
"The homework is... turn to the big exercise book, page one hundred..."
There has been something strange recently, that student. Haven’t shown up for half a month, seems hardly attending school.
Occasionally appearing, always staying quiet and compliant.
Jiang Nian....
Vaguely, his expression from that day floated before her eyes, "Teacher, you’re just too principled."
"Teacher?"
A student called her, snapping Qingbao back to reality.
"Hmm?"
"Teacher, which page is it?"
Qingbao looked at the half-class focused on her, finally coming back to senses, "Forget it, no homework."
Upon hearing this, the class immediately erupted.
"Wow!!"
"Really? That’s great!!"
"I’m so moved, teacher."
Qingbao smiled mildly, waited for the students to quiet down, then spoke, "Handing out a test paper."
"Ah!!??"
After class, Qingbao returned to the office. From a distance on the way, she saw Old Liu hurrying to the administration building.
He’s really busy, Principle Liu.
Although Old Liu is still the discipline leader, it’s clear to any discerning person that his future is promising.
Qingbao looked away and returned to her office.
"Hmm..."
She took out her phone, scrolling through the chat list. Scrolled down a long way before finding a certain chat window.
Thought deeply for a moment, eventually backed out.
....
"I’m doomed, surely gonna fail calculus this time." Jiang Nian complained, spinning the computer chair in the dorm.
"Too many absences, hardly studied."
"In your case, I’d suggest consulting Deng Yi for a workaround." Da Chao thought for a moment and gave an idea.
Jiang Nian: "???"
"Stop with those lousy ideas." Brother Bao Song turned, "You surrendered after the last clash with the group secretary, right?"
"Absolutely, got branded a traitor."
"You guys..." Da Chao was out of ideas, "Forget it, you’re just envious and resentful."
"Envious of what?" Brother Bao Song chuckled.
"Envious of my happiness." Da Chao said, "How should I put it, I have a girlfriend~~"
Jiang Nian: "...."
"Crazy about her, just ignore him." Brother Bao Song put on his headphones, "You better find a senior to date."
"Next year’s graduation season will be your toughest critic."
Da Chao: "...."
"Such things are inevitable, huh." Yang Jingfan came back from outside just as they were bickering.
"Being a couple, you’ll get past it together."
Hearing this, Da Chao became even more crestfallen.
"Why are you being cryptic with me?"
"Nothing, just the truth." Yang Jingfan said, "If it really doesn’t work, maybe ask Brother Nian?"
Jiang Nian didn’t have this trouble; all his admirers were in the same batch.
Relationship issues...
Currently, compared to messy relationships, his work is smoother, and his life is still intact.
Living is winning.
Suddenly, his phone buzzed. Picked it up habitually, expecting a dining invitation from Xu Shuang.
Lately, they’ve been cooking together occasionally.
Upon checking, he found it was from Zhang Ningzhi, inviting him to hike and bring along Yao Beibei.
Jiang Nian was speechless but agreed nonetheless.
"Alright."
Not paying much attention to it, but unexpectedly Yuhang had an emergency before the planned day.
Jiang Nian finished class, saw a dozen missed calls.
"Hmm?"
"What’s up?" Da Chao leaned over, "Wow, that’s a whole string of missed calls."
"Girlfriend got mad?"
Upon hearing, Jiang Nian glanced at him.
"Which one do you mean?"
Da Chao: "...You beast."
"Calls from the company; you guys go eat first." Jiang Nian redialed, becoming more serious.
"Hmm?"
"Oh, I’m going back today."
After hanging up, Jiang Nian flipped through the message list. First notified Xu Qianqian of the canceled dinner.
Then, he called Zhang Ningzhi.
"What’s up?"
"Zhizhi... there’s something, um, tomorrow..." Jiang Nian said while searching the phone calendar.
Estimating it would take two days; checking what needed canceling.
"Hmph!!"
"Breaking promises again!!" Zhang Ningzhi complained angrily, "We had planned to hike, leaving me hanging!"
"It’s just a sudden issue at the company." Jiang Nian reassured while buying the tickets.
On the other side.
After hanging up, Zhang Ningzhi was fuming, watching Yao Beibei approach with an ice cream.
"What’s up, sweetheart?"
Yao Beibei slurped on her ice cream, asked curiously, "Jiang Nian called again; what’s his excuse this time?"
"He’s got stuff; not going hiking tomorrow." Zhang Ningzhi huffed, "So upset, I prepped for so long."
"We’ll go then." Yao Beibei didn’t mind, still spoke a few good words for Jiang Nian, "Running a company, having a lot of things to handle is quite normal."
"Next time for the hiking." Zhang Ningzhi considered, "I want to check out Yan Garden."
