Chapter 830 Reunion
Liu Jingjing invited Diao Chan into the office. Seeing that the general manager was a great beauty, Diao Chan was less resistant and followed her in!
The secretary poured tea for Diao Chan, while Liu Jingjing secretly sized her up. She hadn't expected this girl to be so beautiful. Liu Jingjing was extremely confident in her looks, after all, she had been a beauty queen in her department and school back in the day. But compared to Diao Chan, she still felt inferior.
There are few girls this beautiful, and even fewer who are so beautiful and brave enough to risk their lives to save others!
"I invited you here today to express my gratitude. Thank you for saving that child and preventing a disaster!"
Diao Chan also had a good impression of Liu Jingjing. First of all, she thought that Liu Jingjing was really capable. She was about the same age as herself and was already the general manager of a shopping mall. Looking at herself, she felt that she was nothing!
Upon hearing this, he said seriously, "It's nothing, it's normal, it's a natural human reaction!"
Liu Jingjing chuckled, almost blurting out, "Your reaction is abnormal. Most people would avoid such situations like the plague. Aside from the risk of injury, what if you encounter an unreasonable parent who might try to extort money from you—"
"I'll arrange for a car to take you to the hospital for a full check-up. You were hit, so I hope there aren't any hidden injuries!"
"No, no—" Diao Chan quickly refused. "I hate the smell of medicine the most. From childhood to adulthood, my biggest fear has been going to the hospital!" Because Liu Jingjing was beautiful and very approachable, Diao Chan spoke more naturally in front of her. Usually, she wouldn't say more than 10 words to strangers.
"I can arrange for you to stay in a VIP ward, just like in a hotel, where you can get tested in your room—"
"No, I don't want to either. I get scared when I see people in white coats!" Diao Chan shook her head vigorously. Liu Jingjing was surprised to find that such a beautiful woman had such a childlike side.
"But--"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Liu. I've always been quite mischievous since I was a child. I'm very healthy, and if there's a problem, I'll know to go to the hospital myself..."
"Oh well--"
She was at a loss with this person who was clearly a stubborn brat. She couldn't very well have someone tie her up and take her to the hospital!
Picking up the shopping card that the secretary had just bought from the coffee table, he pushed it in front of Diao Chan: "To thank you for helping the mall avoid a crisis, please accept this!"
Diao Chan glanced at the stack of shopping cards, each worth 10,000 yuan, on the table and refused without hesitation: "Mr. Liu, I'm helping my child, not the mall. I can't accept this!"
She's not going to help this shopping mall. If it weren't for this mall, her clothing store wouldn't have gone out of business!
Liu Jingjing was defeated by her "straightforwardness" and refused all the favors offered!
"No matter what, she helped us. We've already bought the card, so please accept it!" Liu Jingjing had a good impression of Diao Chan.
"You really don't need it. If you really don't know where to use it, then use it to buy some items and send them to welfare homes for the elderly and children who need them!"
No matter what Liu Jingjing said, Diao Chan refused. "It's not money I earned myself. If I take it, I'll feel uneasy. This isn't a reward for me; it's a psychological burden!"
This was the first time Liu Jingjing had encountered someone who wouldn't accept money, so she finally gave up: "Miss, may I add you on WeChat, please?"
Diao Chan hesitated, which displeased Liu Jingjing, who felt she was being rather unreasonable. What era are we living in? Exchanging WeChat contacts is perfectly normal. Besides, she was a woman too; how could she possibly harass you?
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"
"No, no. Mr. Liu, let me scan your WeChat—" Diao Chan felt she had gone too far. A general manager had taken the initiative to ask for her WeChat. If it were Sister Juan or the others, they could brag about it for a lifetime. She was being pretentious.
"The main problem is that I don't have more than 20 people on WeChat."
As she spoke, as if afraid Liu Jingjing wouldn't believe her, she opened her friends list. "Look, it's mostly my closest relatives, a few classmates and colleagues, that's about it!"
Liu Jingjing glanced at it subconsciously, but unexpectedly a familiar name caught her eye—Chen Xiao?
She looked at Diao Chan with a hint of surprise. Could this be another of Chen Xiao's women?
She knew that these days, not many people could add Chen Xiao on WeChat. The woman before her was so beautiful and so indifferent to money—this fit the image of Chen Xiao's woman. How could his woman lack money? Even she herself was perfectly taken care of. Besides her shining moments at work, Zhang Ziqian had bought her several shops on Jiangzhou Pedestrian Street, worth over 100 million yuan, generating over 10 million yuan in rent annually!
Diao Chan didn't know that Liu Jingjing was stunned because of that name. She thought Liu Jingjing was surprised to see that her friends list really only had a dozen or so people.
After adding Liu Jingjing on WeChat, Diao Chan stood up and said, "Okay, Ms. Liu, I won't keep you from your work any longer!"
Liu Jingjing didn't ask her about Chen Xiao because she didn't know how far things had progressed between them and whether it was appropriate to discuss it. Given her current status, it wasn't suitable for her to pry into Chen Xiao's affairs, lest she displease him!
"I see you off"
I initially thought Liu Jingjing was just seeing me out, which was already quite polite. I never expected her to see me all the way out of the office area!
"My goodness, this is the first time Mr. Liu has ever driven a guest this far!"
"I heard she's a heroine who acted bravely and righteously. Mr. Liu is also known for his strong sense of justice; it's probably a case of mutual respect."
Behind them, the employees of Junxiao Plaza were gossiping among themselves as they looked at the two beautiful sisters in front of them!
"Alright, Mr. Liu, please wait a moment!"
"Sure, you can come visit me anytime you have time, or we can go shopping together!"
"Okay, okay, thank you!" Diao Chan said perfunctorily before leaving. Shopping? She wasn't interested. Shopping with Liu Jingjing was even less appealing; they weren't in the same social class, and she had no interest in trying to climb the social ladder!
Zhang Yi watched from afar, feeling somewhat resentful. A foot massage technician had more influence than him? He, Boss Zhang, was well-connected all over the country, but he was constantly getting the short end of the stick in Jiangzhou!
However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Junxiao Group's headquarters are here, and Chen Xiao's family home is also here. Outside, he might accidentally run into someone connected to the Chen family, so Zhang Yi has been much more restrained in Jiangzhou. Outside, he acts like he's the king of the world, utterly arrogant!
Looking at the time, it was already dinnertime, so Diao Chan prepared to go back to her dormitory.
However, at that moment, her phone suddenly received a message. She picked it up and glanced at it; it was from Qianqian: "Xiaochan, there's big news at the company!"
Diao Chan had no interest in the news at all, and casually replied, "What news? It can't be that the boss is pregnant, can it?"
[Qianqian: This is even more outrageous than that!]
Even more outrageous than a man getting pregnant? That's absolutely outrageous! Diao Chan was too lazy to press further, but since Qianqian had started talking, even if Diao Chan didn't ask, Qianqian would still have to say:
[Qianqian: Today a customer bought 2500 clocks for the 23rd. This has shocked the world, even more outrageous than the Middle East wars!]
[Diao Chan: No matter how exaggerated it is, it's not as exaggerated as you! How can this be compared to the Middle East war?]
[Qianqian: Hey, aren't you surprised at all? 2500 hours! That's almost 100 million! You can get 30 on the 23rd!] [Diaochan: What's so surprising? She just met a rich person. Why are you so concerned about other people's income? You're not relying on her to support you in your old age!]
Qianqian was so angry she laughed in the technician's room; Diao Chan was just that kind of person. Everyone was drooling with envy, but she acted like nothing had happened!
[Qianqian: I heard from number 23 that the guest was a friend of your General Manager Chen...]
Hmm? Now Diao Chan is interested!
[Qianqian: I heard from number 23 that his name is something like "General Manager Cha," and he works as a security guard. This is outrageous! Does this security guard's family own a mine?]
Diao Chan was speechless. Old Cha? He spent 100 million on number 23?
[Diao Chan: Could you have mistaken me for someone else?]
[Qianqian: Absolutely not. Also, number 66 went to the bathroom to cry half an hour ago and hasn't come out yet.]
This is a real-life example of someone crying their eyes out in the bathroom; all of this originally belonged to her. She cleverly found an excuse and perfectly avoided the million!
[Diao Chan: Then you guys keep an eye on things, make sure nothing bad happens.]
[Qianqian: What could have happened? Sister Juan was using the toilet, and she wouldn't open the door. Sister Juan was forced to use another bathroom! All I could hear from inside was the sound of her slapping herself!]
Diao Chan smiled and didn't reply again, as if none of this had happened.
[Qianqian: You're at Junxiao Square? There's a really famous fruit tea shop there called "Snow Falls in Spring Breeze." Can you bring me a cup when you come back?]
[Diao Chan: Okay!]
I put down my phone and sighed. Should I bring a cup? Who should I give it to? If I'm going to bring one, I should definitely bring one to people I can usually talk to, otherwise I might offend them, and those people will say behind my back that I look down on them.
Turning back to the [Snow Falls in Spring Breeze] counter on the first floor, seeing dozens of people in front of her, Diao Chan's mood soured again. If it were her, she would have left immediately, but now—
There's no other way but to wait in line!
"Hi~~"
"Hey, you beautiful lady in the back!"
Diao Chan was looking down at Douyin when she heard the shout. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw a well-dressed, round-faced woman standing not far at the front of the line. She was not old, but she had an aura of authority without being angry.
He pointed to himself: "Did you call me?"
"Yes, if you want to buy this fruit drink, you don't need to queue. We'll be at the front and buy it for you too!"
Diao Chan didn't know why this woman wanted to help her, but she was happy to accept the help because she no longer needed to queue!
"Thank you so much! I'll transfer the money to you!"
Xu Jia smiled and pointed to the short-haired girl in third place, "Just give it to her, we're all together!" As soon as Diao Chan came out of the office, Liu Jingjing called Xu Jia back, relaying Diao Chan's refusal to go to the hospital for a checkup and her rejection of the 10 yuan shopping card, and also asking Xu Jia to report the situation to Zhao Xiangjun.
Zhao Xiangjun suddenly wanted to drink "Snow Falling in Spring Breeze," so Xu Jia brought a female guard to buy it for her. Unexpectedly, they ran into Diao Chan!
Carrying six or seven fruit teas, Diao Chan said goodbye to Xu Jia: "Thank you—" They had only met by chance, and she had never thought that they would meet again in the future!
She hadn't walked more than a few steps when someone called her name again. This time, she knew who it was without even turning around!
"Hey, I'll have someone carry it for you!"
The annoying voice came from that Mr. Zhang, and Diao Chan walked quickly forward without turning her head!
"Hey, it's raining heavily outside. It's rush hour, and it's a commercial area, so you won't be able to get a taxi. How about you have dinner with me, and I'll take you home?"
"You're crazy! I can't wait because I can't get a taxi?" Diao Chan completely ignored him!
"Boss, should we go up and stop her?" Zhang Yi's bodyguard looked at the girl in front of him who was showing no respect for his boss.
He turned to the bodyguards and said, "You're causing trouble on Junxiao Square's turf. Don't you know what death means?"
The bodyguard shrank back, not daring to say another word!
"Let's go get the car. She's definitely out there right now; she can't escape."
Rumbling--
Just as they stepped out of Junxiao Square, a thunderclap boomed! Diao Chan cursed her bad luck inwardly! Dark clouds filled the sky; it looked like a downpour was imminent!
I quickly ran to the taxi stand outside the square, found a place that offered some shelter from the wind and rain, and stood there anxiously waiting for a taxi!
During this time of day, there were practically no empty taxis available. She tried using a ride-hailing app on her phone for a long time, but no car came. She had no choice but to wait patiently.
boom--
The rain poured down in torrents!
This bus stop sign offered no protection against the torrential rain. Diao Chan sighed inwardly at her bad luck, and could only try to get as close to the sign behind her as possible. While her head was out of the water, the wind kept bringing rain that soaked her clothes! Her wide-leg jeans were drenched and clung uncomfortably to her skin!
Soon, the roadside in front of her was flooded, and she began to worry. If this continued, would the area turn into a sea? Should she take a taxi or call a boat?
Drop drop!
Diao Chan subconsciously looked up and saw a Voyah Dreamer MPV suddenly cut in front of her on the right and pull over to the side of the road.
However, the next second she realized the "beep" sound wasn't coming from that car. It certainly wasn't from the Volkswagen Lavida in front of her, because the driver of that car was constantly on his phone, seemingly waiting for someone!
"Beep beep," the horn sounded again!
This time she heard it clearly. To her left rear, she looked up and saw a black Maybach.
Perhaps noticing Diao Chan looking over, the Maybach's rear window slowly rolled down a crack. Zhang Yi's annoying voice came through: "Get in, I'll give you a ride!"
Diao Chan pretended not to hear and continued looking at her phone. She silently chanted, "Get away from me! Get away from me!"
"If you don't come up now, this place will turn into a sea! Your clothes will be soaked, and then what will you do? There's no car to take you here!"
Diao Chan remained silent. What was Cheng Hai afraid of? It's not like I can't swim!
suddenly--
The incessant rain stopped abruptly, and Diao Chan was startled, feeling as if she had found a safe haven!
Suddenly I looked up and exclaimed, "Ah!"
That breathtakingly beautiful face, which had been swirling in her mind all day, was now standing before her, holding an umbrella over her, its gentle, autumn-water-like eyes gazing softly at her. (End of Chapter)
