Xiao Wei walked into the office and saw Zhou Chao chatting with Ling Chen on the sofa. She quickly walked over to them.
“Boss, Mr. Ling!”
“Xiao Wei, you’re here. Please, have a seat.” Ling Chen took the lead and gestured for Xiao Wei to sit in one of the chairs opposite them.
Xiao Wei glanced at Jiang Li, who was sitting next to Zhou Chao, and couldn’t help but wonder if she was the boss’s girlfriend or something.
“Xiao Wei, the reason I asked you to come over is to inquire about any suitable positions in your charity division. The boss intends to have his wife learn about the operations there.”
“No problem at all, she can take up whatever position she likes!” Xiao Wei replied without hesitation. However, as soon as she said it, she regretted it. If it were that simple, the boss wouldn’t have had her come all the way to the company office; he could have just made a phone call.
Quickly, Xiao Wei added, “I can accompany the boss’s wife and help her get acquainted with the operations of the charity division!”
After she said this, she breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she might be able to salvage the situation. Looking at the calm expressions on Zhou Chao and Ling Chen’s faces, she thought she probably wouldn’t be scolded.
“Wifey, you and Xiao Wei should get to know each other.”
Jiang Li stood up from the sofa upon hearing this, and Xiao Wei on the opposite side reacted even faster. As soon as Zhou Chao finished speaking, Xiao Wei also stood up.
“Hello, I’m Jiang Li. Please take care of me in the future.” Jiang Li displayed the qualities and presence that she had cultivated since childhood as a member of the Jiang family.
“Hello, Xiao Wei!” The sudden change in Jiang Li’s presence left everyone in the room surprised.
“Please, both of you, have a seat. Xiao Wei, tell us your thoughts.”
Jiang Li and Xiao Wei both sat down, and Xiao Wei quickly organized her thoughts.
“Boss, Mr. Ling, Lady Boss, I have a rough idea, please correct me if I’m wrong.”
“Wait a moment, don’t call her Lady Boss. It sounds a bit awkward. Just address her as Jiang Li. After all, she’s much younger than you all.” Zhou Chao had been hearing them refer to Jiang Li as Lady Boss, and he felt it sounded a bit strange.
Xiao Wei took a sip of water and began, “Boss, my idea is to turn Lady… Jiang Li into the spokesperson for our charity division. Jiang Li’s natural temperament and the warmth she exudes make her very approachable and endearing.”
Xiao Wei briefly explained her sudden idea, but she knew it would need the boss’s approval. After all, this would put Jiang Li in the public eye, which would undoubtedly attract attention and potentially lead to rumors and gossip.
Zhou Chao pondered for a moment upon hearing this. He turned to Jiang Li, and with just a simple exchange of glances, they understood each other’s thoughts.
“Your idea is not bad, but it’s not the right time yet. How about this, Xiao Wei, you can first help Jiang Li become familiar with the company’s processes and everything related to charity. Both of you are women, so I believe you’ll get along well quickly.”
“Jiang Li, for now, you should learn from Manager Xiao Wei and get familiar with things. When the time is right, we can discuss the proposal Manager Xiao Wei just mentioned.”
Jiang Li nodded in agreement and turned to Xiao Wei, saying, “Manager Xiao, 1’11 rely on you in the future.”
“Not a problem at all.”
With the main issue addressed, the conversation turned more casual. Zhou Chao gained a better understanding of the ongoing projects in the charity division, and it seemed like everything was progressing well.
After chatting for nearly half an hour, Zhou Chao checked the time and suggested, “Let’s go have a meal together. All Li, do you want to come back home with me this afternoon, or would you like to go to the company with Manager Xiao first?”
“I’ll go to the company with Manager Xiao. I want to familiarize myself with the work processes and gain some knowledge.”
“Alright, Ling Chen, find a restaurant you’re familiar with, and let’s have a simple meal.”
Ling Chen then took everyone to a small restaurant he frequented. It was located in a side alley, and while the environment wasn’t great, the food was delicious.
“Boss, I’ve been eating at this restaurant for a while. The food is good, but the ambiance is a bit lacking,”
“No problem, we don’t mind. As long as the food is good. By the way, do our company’s employees usually eat out?”
“Yes, employees from Jinmao Building and the financial district usually eat out.”
“I see,” Zhou Chao said, pondering for a moment before not saying anything further. Ling Chen then took the menu and ordered five or six dishes.
“Ling Chen, take some time to discuss with Li Xiang. See if it’s possible to set up a cafeteria on the lower floors of Global Finance Tower. We can bring in chefs from various cuisines to cater to different preferences,”
“Boss, wouldn’t that be a bit extravagant?”
“Extravagant? The employees downstairs spend thousands each month just on meals. How do you expect them to save for housing or marriage? Besides, we can afford it, so let’s aim high! When you and Li Xiang discuss this later, make sure to plan for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks. Some people might be willing to work overtime, so let’s make the late-night snacks more lavish!”
“Understood, Boss. I’ll talk to Mr. Li about it this afternoon.”
“Alright.”
Not long after, the restaurant server brought the dishes, and the aroma was quite inviting.
“Eat up! Why are you all so reserved when dining out?” Zhou Chao teased as he noticed everyone staring at him intently.
“Hmm, try this twice-cooked pork, it’s really good!” He said, scooping some into Jiang Li’s bowl.
The group quickly enjoyed their meal, and within twenty minutes, they had almost finished all the dishes, leaving only some ingredients.
Exiting the restaurant, Zhou Chao looked at Jiang Li by his side and said, “You’ll go with Xiao Wei to the charity division. I’ll pick you up in the evening.”
“Okay,” Jiang Li replied and followed Xiao Wei toward the Global Finance Center.
“Boss, I’ll also go to Global Finance to discuss matters with Li Xiang. I’ll head out first.”
“Go ahead!” Upon hearing this, Ling Chen quickly turned and caught up with Jiang Li and Xiao Wei, who had just walked a short distance.
“Sigh, it’s boring again. Time to go home and play games!”
Zhou Chao drove back to The Palms Residence, and as he entered, he tossed the keys, kicked off his shoes, and headed upstairs. Passing by the living room, he suddenly had an idea and rushed to the kitchen. In no time, he returned with half a sliced watermelon with a spoon stuck in it.
“These carefree days are so comfortable!” For a watermelon enthusiast, having access to watermelon was pure satisfaction.
Zhou Chao continued gaming until 5 o’clock, then remembered to pick up Jiang Li. He grabbed his keys and left the house. When he reached the parking garage at the Global Finance Center, his phone rang—it was Jiang Li.
“Wifey, I’m in the garage. You can come down now!”
After waiting for about five minutes, Zhou Chao spotted Jiang Li’s figure in the car park. He honked the horn twice, and she quickly ran over.
“Why are you so excited? Did accomplish something big today? Drink some water first!” Zhou Chao said, handing her a bottle of water.
“Yeah, Xiaowei spent the afternoon helping me get familiar with the company’s operations and other aspects of knowledge. Time flew by!”
“Alright, let’s go. Tonight, we’ll have a feast to reward the hardworking Lady Jiang Li!”
“Let’s go, right now!” Hearing the mention of a feast, Jiang Li became even more enthusiastic.
Zhou Chao drove towards No. 18 on the Bund..
