Chapter 156: The Bossy President Drove His Wife Home
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
When Shangguan Ning returned back to the office, it took Lu Qing no time to learn of what she had done.
He patted her shoulders like a parent and a smile hovered over his normally serious face. He spoke in an admiring tone, “You have done well. You are the a.s.sistant of the President, the face of the President. You should be intimidating when you are representing the President. No matter whatever you do, you should always remember that you are absolutely right!”
Shangguan Ning hadn’t been worried about what Jing Yichen would think, because she knew that he would support her no matter what she did. Even if she chose to demolish the entire building, he would agree without frowning.
But she had been worried about the serious and formidable Lu Qing.
He was a man who was scrupulous in separating public from private interests, and he would never take personal revenge by taking advantage of his own position. Therefore, she had been worried that after he knew what she did, he would scold her for being selfish.
Unexpectedly, however, he supported what she had done.
Seeing the surprised face on her, Lu Qing couldn’t help but smile. “Did you a.s.sume that I will blame you for taking personal revenge? Well, it depends on what it is. If you had used up all the investment money for the movie, then I would not have hesitated for even a second to scold you and would have reported you to the President. But you were just being formidable and your decision was completely correct. It was Director Zheng’s fault to have used a pregnant new actress and if it had not been for you, our enterprise might have suffered a loss worth tens of millions of yuan.”
“You can be bossier and more intimidating outside the company, because Jingsheng will always be your home bay. You could have scolded Director Zheng as well, so that he would learn how to be careful when they want to have collaboration with us in the future and how not to lie to us! You should learn from the President for this point. He is quite skilled at badgering someone and being bossy. I have never met anyone who is bossier than him after being in this position for more than twenty years.”
Shangguan Ning got a little confused. Was that what Jing Yichen was like? But she had never seen him that bossy and unreasonable.
Oh! There was that one time, one only time when he, despite what she thought and how much fever she was having, had dragged her to the Civil Affairs Office to obtain the marriage certificate.
A smile hovered over Shangguan Ning’s face and she was happy to hear what Lu Qing told her. She said softly, “Thank you for supporting me. I need to learn more from you in the future!”
Seeing that she understood what he meant, Lu Qing nodded and turned back to the business affairs.
Jing Yichen got to know about Shangguan Ning’s personal revenge soon after it happened.
Tiger asked him in concern, “Master, will Family Xie allow her to marry their son if Shangguan Rouxue loses her job?”
Jing Yichen said calmly, “No worries. She should have lost her job long ago. She is being kept alive for Ning to take revenge, otherwise she would have lost her life long ago! Tell Liang Fus.h.i.+ at the Department of Media that no matter what the Lady does, he must obey her unconditionally, otherwise he would be cleaning the restroom for Jingsheng Enterprise!”
Liang Fus.h.i.+ was Xu Feng’s direct leader, one of the Deputy-Presidents of the enterprise. He was in charge of media and public relations, and one of the oldest employees at Jingsheng Enterprise.
When Jing Yichen had taken over the enterprise, he was one of the most sceptical ones. At the beginning, he had even claimed that if Jing Yichen became the President, he would go and clean the restroom instead. But after he saw what Jing Yichen had achieved, he had changed his att.i.tude. He had started to respect Jing Yichen and treated Shangguan Ning exceptionally nicely, hoping that she could say something good about him in front of Jing Yichen so that he would forget how rebellious he had been before.
But Jing Yichen was a man who remembered everything. He would often mention the phrase “cleaning restroom” to scare him even at various points in time.
Therefore, Liang Fus.h.i.+ s.h.i.+vered with cold sweat after Tiger told Liang Fus.h.i.+ what Jing Yichen had said.
Liang Fus.h.i.+ was a 50 years old man, and had been working at the Department of Public Relations for long. Currently, he was in charge of Department of Media as well, so he was skilled at recognising gossip more than anyone else.
When Tiger told him to “obey a.s.sistant Shangguan Ning unconditionally”, he sensed something special there.
As far as he knew, Jing Yichen was a married man. He had even asked Lu Qing about it earlier. But Jing Yichen was a man who lived quite clean, just like his father who didn’t get close to women easily. Also, almost all men from Family Jing tended to be devoted to one single woman except for Jing Yiran who was different from them.
Jing Yichen treated Shangguan Ning far better than he ought to have. Also, Liang Fus.h.i.+ discovered that when it came to Shangguan Ning, Jing Yichen would respond quickly and decisively.
A man like Jing Yichen would not fall for an a.s.sistant very easily. That he cared so much about Shangguan Ning meant only one thing – Shangguan Ning was more than his a.s.sistant.
Liang Fus.h.i.+ felt that Shangguan Ning must be Jing Yichen’s wife.
He was surprised by his own bold speculation. Then he started to laugh in his office alone, thinking that he had stumbled upon a huge secret.
He immediately got in touch with the TV station which had replaced Shangguan Rouxue with a new person.
Jing Yichen hadn’t tried to hide his relations.h.i.+p with Shangguan Ning. That was why he sent such instructions to Liang Fus.h.i.+.
He never had the intention of concealing him marrying Shangguan Ning. It had always been Shangguan Ning who didn’t want to cause any trouble so that she didn’t allow him to tell anyone else. Otherwise, the entire Enterprise would have known about it already!
He wished that everyone would know that Shangguan Ning was his wife, and the future mother to his children.
Jing Yichen couldn’t help but get a bit annoyed when he thought about children. Why wasn’t Shangguan Ning showing any signs of pregnancy after he tried so hard for so long?
Could it have been because of his posture or the frequency?
It seemed that he needed to try several more postures tonight.
When Shangguan Ning came out of the enterprise building around 5 after work, a very inconspicuous black Volkswagen was parked in front of her.
A handsome and n.o.ble man with a bunch of roses came out of the car and smiled at her. “My wife, I am here to drive you home!”
Shangguan Ning took the bunch of flowers in surprise and her heart was instantly filled with happiness and positive energy.
She wanted to fling herself into his arms, but stopped instead and looked around consciously because she was still standing outside the enterprise building where they might be seen.
Jing Yichen got very displeased. He walked up and scooped Shangguan Ning into his arms feeling her soft body and its fragrance around him.
Worried that their colleagues might b.u.mp into them, Shangguan Ning immediately pushed him into the inconspicuous black Volkswagen.
What if she was discovered? There would be a huge explosion in the enterprise the following day. No, she needed to be careful and didn’t want to be stared at by other people as if she were a monster.
The moment they sat in the car, Jing Yichen pressed her against the seat and gave her a deep kiss.
Shnagguan Ning was slightly out of breath. She pushed him away as she said lovingly, “No kissing. What if someone sees us?”
Jing Yichen frowned unhappily. “What is it? Am I breaking the law to kiss my own wife? Anyone who dares to speak ill of us will get out of the enterprise the following day!”
Shangguan Ning burst into laughter seeing his bossy behavior.
Lu Qing was right. Jing Yichen was indeed bossy and unreasonable!
