A hint of surprise appeared in Jiang Yanshenâs eyes. âWhat gift?â
Lin Qingqian didnât answer. She turned around and took out a small black box with English printed on it from her handbag and handed it to him.
Jiang Yanshen glanced at her and took the box with his well-defined fingers. He opened it unhurriedly and took out a transparent bottle.
âPerfume?â
Lin Qingqian nodded. âYour bottle is an old model. This is a new one. It has the same fragrance, but the final tone has been changed.â
Seeing that Jiang Yanshen did not move, Lin Qingqian took the perfume and sprayed it on his wrist twice.
A faint fragrance assailed her nose, and Lin Qingqian was very happy.
âWhat is this smell?â Jiang Yanshen also smelled it. It smelled better than before.
Most importantly, she liked it.
âThis is called ebony agarwood.â Lin Qingqian looked up at him, her bright eyes shining. âDoes it smell good?â
Jiang Yanshen nodded. Looking at her beautiful posture, his throat moved and he couldnât help but lower his head to smell her red lips. âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome, Director Jiang,â Lin Qingqian replied happily.
She didnât tell him that this perfume had stopped production. This was the last bottle and would never be produced again. It was exclusive to him.
She had gone to almost all the perfume shops in Paris and bought it with great difficulty.
Jiang Yanshen put the perfume into his pocket. âThe can of candy is with Chen
Mu. Remember to get it later.â
Lin Qingqian nodded. âAlright. Letâs go out, Director Jiang.â
Jiang Yanshen reached out and scratched the tip of her nose before walking out of the VIP room.
Lin Qingqian retracted the smile on her lips and regained her calmness and indifference in front of outsiders as she followed Jiang Yanshen.
Luo Qingshang and Luo Tianxue saw them coming down, and the same thought popped into their minds: Here they come, the mutual promotion with their acting skills.
Jiang Yanshen stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Lin Qingqian.
âDesigner Lin, please stop. I wonât disturb you anymore.â
Lin Qingqian smiled. âThen I wonât send you off.â
Lu Qinshang secretly rolled his eyes. What send off! Youâll still have to sleep on the same bed later.
Jiang Yanshen walked forward. Lu Yuan followed beside him consciously to avoid him being harassed by the reporters.
âThen Iâll leave too! Best of luck for your business!â After Lu Qinshang greeted Lin Qingqian, he quickly followed Jiang Yanshen.
Luo Tianxue walked to Lin Qingqianâs side and nudged her elbow. âThe two of you are quite good at pretending!â
Lin Qingqian glanced at her. I donât understand what youâre talking about!
âYour acting skills are so good. Itâs a pity that you didnât enter the entertainment industry.â Luo Tianxue continued to tease her.
âIf you have the time to talk, why donât you go and sign a few more autographs for your fans? I can also sell a few more clothes.â
Luo Tianxue: â
Lin Qingqian ignored her and turned to look for Xiao Bai.
Luo Tianxue stuck out her pink tongue at her back and snorted. âMoney, money, money! All you know is money. I think youâre blinded by money.â
Although she complained, her body still went to the door honestly to sign autographs for the fans and ask them to support Lin Qingqianâs brand more.
Han Liubai had always been the one entertaining Vin and Xu Wanlan. At this moment, Lin Qingqian finally had the time to chat with them.
âPresident Lin, congratulations.â Xu Wanlan toasted her with a glass of champagne. âOur President asked me to convey his blessings for the launch of your independent brand.â
Lin Qingqian took the champagne from Han Liubai and clinked glasses with her. âThank you. Help me convey my gratitude to Master L.â
Xu Wanlan: âDefinitely.â
The two of them took a sip politely.
Vin raised his glass to congratulate her and looked at Luo Tianxue, who was signing autographs for her fans. âLuo Tianxue is different from what I imagined.â
The outside world said that Luo Tianxue was cute and innocent, but in the industry, there were rumors that she was arrogant. It seemed like none of them were true.
Lin Qingqian understood what she meant. âItâs normal for a young girl to have some thoughts and emotions.â
Vin laughed. âDesigner Lin, youâre not much older than her. Thereâs no need to be so old-fashioned.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIt canât be helped. I canât compare to those young girls,â Lin Qingqian said humbly.
Xu Wanlan and Vin were older than Lin Qingqian, but Lin Qingqian was three years older than Luo Tianxue, so she always looked at Luo Tianxue like she was looking at a little sister.
âDo you have any good ideas for Luo Tianxueâs feature in the September issue? Vin asked.
Lin Qingqian looked helpless. âSpare me. I was the one who did the Spring and Summer issues. If you look for me again, arenât you afraid that others will say that we have secret dealings!â
Vin said indifferently, âI donât care what others think. The most important thing is to get Z Magazine done well.â
Lin Qingqian still shook her head. âForget it. Iâve been quite busy with the company recently. You saw it tooâ¦â
Most importantly, she had to leave some opportunities for others.
Vin was a little disappointed. âAlright, then you must help me make two issues of the magazine next year. Also, you canât always share your styling skills on Weibo.â
âAlright.â Lin Qingqian agreed happily.
Only then did Vin and Xu Wanlan go shopping in satisfaction to see if there were any good-looking clothes.
Only then did Lin Qingqian have time to talk to Han Liubai. âWhat did the factory say?â
âThere are too many online orders. The factory will take at least half a month to fulfill the orders,â Han Liubai said helplessly.
Lin Qingqian thought for a moment. âInform the factory to work 24 hours a day, but the quality canât be compromised. We can provide bonuses to the workers.â
âEven so, the delivery speed will be slow.â
âThe problem of the slow delivery can be compensated with an unconditional refund, but there must be no problem with the quality.â Lin Qingqianâs gentle voice had an incomparable certainty.
Seeing that she was so determined, Han Liubai heaved a sigh of relief. âAlright,
Iâll contact the manufacturer.â
After a pause, he said, âBy the way, Miss Li left just now. Before she left, she said that there was an event next month and she specifically wanted you to style her.â
After hearing this, Lin Qingqianâs mind buzzed. âAs expected, money is not so easy to earn. â
It was inevitable that one person couldnât do too many things at the same time.
âAre you very tired?â Han Liubai saw the tiredness in her eyes and said considerately, âWhy donât you go and rest? Weâll hold the situation down.â
Lin Qingqian rejected his good intentions. âThis is my battlefield. How can I leave my soldiers on the battlefield and hide at the back to enjoy the peace?â âBut you canât force yourself. Your body is more important than anything else,â
Han Liubai said worriedly.
âDonât worry, I know.â Lin Qingqian glanced at his slightly pale face. âYou really should rest too.â
Han Liubai smiled indifferently. âIâm fineâ¦â
âGo back and rest after calling the manufacturer.â Lin Qingqian interrupted him.
âNo need, Iâ¦
âThis is your bossâs order!â
Han Liubai couldnât dissuade her and nodded. âAlright.â
âIâll go get busy.â Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled after saying that. She turned around and walked towards Su Ying and the others.
Han Liubai looked at her back with a gentle gaze. However, when his gaze landed on the anklet on her ankle, it couldnât help but dim.
In the car.
Xu Wanlan handed him a cup of ginseng tea. âPresident Han, you donât look too good.â
Han Liubai coughed a few times and took a sip of warm ginseng tea to moisten his throat. He said calmly, âIâm fine.â
Xu Wanlan was still worried. For the first time, although she knew that he would be unhappy if he heard this, she still said, âPresident Han, if you continue like this, youâll burn your body out. Why donât you resign from thisâ¦â Before she could say the word âjobâ, Han Liubai turned his head, his eyes cold.
Her voice stopped abruptly.
âI know my body.â
Xu Wanlan lowered her head and didnât dare to say anything else.
Han Liubai knew that she was also worried about his health, and his expression softened a little. He asked softly, âHowâs Jiang Chongjing?â
âJiang Chongjing has been very active recently. Heâs contacting the shareholders of Tianyue Group and wants to buy shares,â Xu Wanlan replied.
âHe probably wants to fight it out with Jiang Yanshen.â
âAcquiring shares requires a lot of money. Does he have it?â
âI donât think so, butââ Xu Wanlan paused. âI heard that Madam Jiang has recently sold a lot of jewelry. I think these two people have already colluded to deal with Jiang Yanshen.â
âIt doesnât matter if Jiang Chongjing doesnât have money. We do.â Han Liubaiâs expression was indifferent, and his tone was even gentle. However, when it landed in Xu Wanlanâs ears, there was not much gentleness to speak of. âHelp him!â
Xu Wanlan nodded. âAlright.â
After a moment of silence, she said, âWhat about Miss Lin?â
She wanted to say something but hesitated.
Han Liubai turned to look at her.
Xu Wanlan explained, âIâm worried that if Jiang Yanshen is really moved down by Jiang Chongjing, will Miss Lin stand on Jiang Yanshenâs side?â
If Lin Qingqian stood on Jiang Yanshenâs side, what would President Han⦠do?
Han Liubaiâs eyes gradually darkened. His eyes were as dark as ink and bottomless.
His throat itched and he couldnât help but cough. His pale face gradually turned abnormally red.
Xu Wanlan patted his back worriedly.
He gradually stopped coughing and said in a hoarse voice, âIf thatâs the case, take it that Iâm⦠returning it to her.â
Xu Wanlan was stunned.
Lin Qingqian had been busy for three whole days because of the brandâs launch.
Other than eating and sleeping, she was either busy with the shop or the company for the rest of the time.
When she came back to her senses, she realized that she had not seen Jiang Yanshen for three days. When she opened her WeChat chat history, it was still Jiang Yanshen asking her to eat.
She was so busy that she only replied with an âAlright.â
Oh no. The last time, she was too busy to pay attention to him and he even sulked.
She didnât know if he would be angry this time.
If she had known earlier, she wouldnât have given him the ebony agarwood that day. At least she would have a gift to coax him now.
Her heart was beating like a drum. She still had to go.
Fortunately, she didnât have so much work to do and was not in a hurry to finish it. Lin Qingqian decisively got off work early and personally picked Jiang Yanshen up.
She was wearing a green floral dress with a V-neck today. Her curly hair was tied into a loose braid on the right and she walked into the Tianyue Group with a paper bag.
The front desk girl, Mini, immediately gasped when she saw her. She was so surprised that she almost screamedâ¦
Lin Qingqian made a shushing gesture, and Mini didnât make a sound.
âRemember me?â
Mini nodded fiercely. âI remember. I also know that youâre Shenqian. I followed your Weibo and even tried to buy your clothes, but I couldnât get anything!!â She had to go to work and didnât have time to buy it in a physical shop.
Lin Qingqian smiled slightly and handed her the paper bag in her hand. âSee if you like the clothes I promised to make for you last time!â
Mini was so excited that she almost faintedâ¦
âI like it! I like it! Goddess, you actually personally made clothes for me!!â Mini felt that she had already reached the peak of her life! !
Lin Qingqian was amused by her cute appearance. âThen take a look first. Can I go up and look for your Director Jiang?â
âOf course!â Mini said without thinking, âGoddess, donât worry. Our Director Jiang keeps his nose clean and doesnât get close to women. Moreover⦠even if women come to look for Director Jiang, I definitely wonât let them in!!â
Lin Qingqian:
