BOOK II: The Subst.i.tute Lover of the Rich and Powerful Boss_Chapter 1.2
"Internal Anti-Collision Smart Brain Application!" When it comes to professional matters, Zhang Chenfei"s eyes are always full of light whenever he speaks about them.
"It is theoretically feasible, but it will inevitably be met with a boycott by several major manufacturers. They could even sue us for starting these baseless rumors." Jiao Qi frowned. If they want to pursue this business opportunity, he must secretly prepare. He should gather evidence and sue the manufacturer at an appropriate time. Whoever strikes the first blow has the advantage.
"In fact, I"m not really good at dealing with hardware. But, I have a better idea." Zhang Chenfei paused before getting into the heart of the matter as he waited for the curiosity of his lovely little wife to get intense. This way, he could ask about it himself. However, Jiao Qi only calmly lifted his chin up and motioned him to continue.
During these past few days, Jiao Qi has been watching over attentively at the brain-injured president. He had been accustomed to observing his emotional changes at any time. At this moment, he clearly saw some disappointment in his eyes and somehow, he unknowingly asked, "What"s your better idea?"
Sure enough, the small loss in his husband"s eyes really dissipated and was replaced by the absolute confidence of a professional. Br.i.m.m.i.n.g with unspeakable charm, he replied, "Manual Memory Clearing Application."
The function of memory clearing exists in ancient computer applications. At that time, computers were not so intelligent and its operation could easily slow down. It was often necessary to manually clear the memory to keep the system running. With the advancement of technology, this non-technical work had been handed over to the system itself.
"In the future, when one knocks his head off again, he just needs to let his wife clear his smart brain manually."
The black Maybach that was damaged from the car collision has not been repaired yet, so the two can only continue to share one car going to work.
"Do you also need me to be your little secretary today?" Jiao Qi asked him in a leisurely and carefree tone while sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat.
Zhang Chenfei"s eyebrows and ears drooped down due to shame. He stopped the car in front of the stairs of Bajiao"s building. "No, no need. I"ll pick you up after work."
"You really don"t need me to be your little secretary? Then, who will serve you tea and pour water for you? Who will sort out the doc.u.ments and relieve … umhh …" His words have not yet finished when Jiao Qi was suddenly kissed in the mouth by president-daren who became furious out of shame. Jiao Qi couldn’t help but laugh loudly. He returned the kiss before unlocking his safety belt to get off the car.
Zhang Chenfei placed his one hand on the steering wheel. He looked at the tall and straight, handsome and outstanding back of his family"s lovely little wife as he stroked his chin. He does not know if it was an illusion or not, but his lovely little wife seems to have stuck a little bit to him. This thought suddenly made the president-daren happy.
The silver Maserati turned around and headed towards Shi Fei Technology.
In Shi Fei, the employees discovered that President Jiao did not come in the office along with their President Zhang and thus, the atmosphere in the entire building changed instantaneously.
To be specific, the atmosphere is probably the same as during the 30 seconds after the year-end "bonus release" b.u.t.ton was pressed by the finance department. The employees" emotion, which have been repressed for so long, immediately exploded into high spirits.
"Good morning, Mr. President!"
"Good morning, everyone." Zhang Chenfei nodded at the enthusiastic employees in front of the elevator before he lifted his foot to enter the president"s exclusive elevator.
The secretaries, with their eyes looking down at the tip of their toes, were waiting for him at the door"s entrance of the president"s room. Only at that moment when the president walked out off the elevator did the individuals raised their heads altogether to give their greetings.
" … ," said Zhang Chenfei.
President Zhang"s life is finally back on the right track, but the aftermath brought about by the past few days needs to be remedied. For example, Daddy Jiao asked them to come home over the weekend.
"The appointment with the clinic was set in the afternoon. We could do a round-trip at noon. However, my dad probably won"t be very happy." Jiao Qi reminded his lao gong.
"It was definitely Li Yingjun, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, who reported myself of being wicked." Zhang Chenfei said decisively.
Daddy Jiao"s name is Jiao Zuoren. He is one of the first batch of entrepreneurs to get rich and is a good friend of Li Yingjun"s father.
"That…" Jiao Qi"s face blushed a little. The scene of that day was seen by Li Yingjun. He does not know how he would explain it to his elders.
"It"s alright. Just watch me."
In order not to be given a lengthy speech about behaving properly by his father-in-law, Zhang Chenfei returned to the villa"s wine cellar and rummaged through a bottle of red wine from his personal collection - the 1992 Imperial Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon.
{T/N: This bottle of Screaming Eagle Cabernet holds the top position for the most expensive bottle of wine that was ever sold. It is a six-liter bottle which was sold for the highest bid in 2000 by Napa Valley wine auction. Though it has a staggering $500,000 price tag, the deal was closed at a discounted price since the money was going to charity. This 1992 vintage bottle was released only in 1995. }
In the Jiao family house, the mistress has not yet returned. Daddy Jiao sat in the living room and drank tea without a smile on his face.
Jiao Qi"s mother is an actress. She was also very famous in her early years and because she was able to properly maintain her elegance, she is still active in the entertainment industry. She particularly play the roles of a beautiful mother or a pretty sister-in-law. There are still a lot of scenes waiting for her to shoot and hence, oftentimes, she is not at home.
"Dad, this present is for you." When Zhang Chenfei entered the house, he went straight to his father-in-law.
"Ahem." Jiao Zuoren shot a quick look at the bottle of Screaming Eagle. His meaning is unknown.
Zhang Chenfei was not scared of his father-in-law"s cold face. With a crafty look on his face, Zhang Chenfei moved closer and in a low voice, he muttered in Daddy Jiao"s ear, "I learned a new trick recently. It"s how to pour red wine on a white shirt … He-he-he. Yanyan and I had a disagreement a few days ago, so I pulled him into the office to play this. It is an effective trick to coax people."
Daddy Jiao froze for a moment.
Zhang Chenfei"s face looks honest. He took advantage of the moment when Jiao Qi was not paying attention to them to wink at his father-in-law. The meaning is very obvious. When mother-in-law comes back, you should both try it as well. Satisfaction is guaranteed.
So that"s how it was. Daddy Jiao now understands clearly. He laughed emptily and pointed at Zhang Chenfei"s head. Feigning his anger, he said, "Scoundrel, you sure have a lot of tricks!"
The two men initially spoke from one being hostile to the other into happily conversing with each other in just a matter of minutes.
Jiao Qi sat from a distance and could not help but smile slightly. When they first met, Zhang Chenfei"s company had just started and was still a poor boy in his father"s eyes.
Nowadays, the total value of Shi Fei"s a.s.sets have surpa.s.sed that of Jiao Zuoren"s company. However, Zhang Chenfei was still the same person as that year. In front of his dad, he still lowered his head and pretends to be naive and acts like an idiot.
"Chenfei." Jiao Qi could not help but call out to him.
"En?" Zhang Chenfei was walking over towards Jiao Qi"s direction when suddenly, his footsteps swayed and stopped.
Jiao Qi jumped up and supported him. "What happened?"
Zhang Chenfei looked at the hand supporting his own hand, and then looked up at the colorful, l.u.s.trous, and healthy face of Jiao Qi. "I"m fine."
After eating lunch at Jiao family house, the two drove to Que De"s clinic. On the way, the smart brain repairman called and said that Louis XIII"s data was exported. However, it will take some time to fix it. It is recommended that they should temporarily buy a new one to use for data import.
"After the short examination is finished, go and buy one. What is its name this time? Louis XIV?" asked Jiao Qi. He couldn"t help but laugh. Zhang Chenfei was embarra.s.sed to say the second name to an outsider.
The car suddenly stopped due to a sudden break and the Maserati pulled over on the roadside. Zhang Chenfei turned to reach out and pinched his lovely little wife"s face and with a gloomy look, he said, "Don"t laugh."
"What"s the matter?" Jiao Qi blinked.
"When you laugh, you don"t look like him anymore." Zhang Chenfei replied in an overbearing and unreasonable tone. He wasn"t worried in the least about the damage it will cause the person in front of him when he said these blunt words. His profound eyes are filled with demand, without showing how frantic he currently feels inside."
" … Mr. Dior Zhang?"
"How many times have I told you that you shouldn"t call me by my given name! Call me… Da Diao."
