That night, Ji Xiangyi did not return to her private residence, but stayed at the Ji family villa.
Over the years, Ji Xiangnian has always been in charge of the Ji family business.
But after Ji Xiangyi graduated a year ago, Ji Xiangnian handed over part of the Ji family’s business to Ji Xiangyi. After more than a year, Ji Xiangyi has firmly established himself as the second in command of the Ji family.
This also resulted in Ji Xiangyi being busy until very late every day.
Ji Xiangyi was sitting in his study, having just finished dealing with some business matters, when the cell phone on the desk rang.
Ji Xiangyi lowered her eyes. It was a call from her close assistant. She stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked through the glass at the dark suburbs, and answered the phone.
”Hello.”
”Hello, Ms. Ji, it’s me. I found out what you asked me to investigate. Your boyfriend, Zhao Cheng, has indeed been very close to two women recently. At around six o’clock this morning, two women walked out of Zhao Cheng’s house.”
This sentence contains a lot of information, such as Zhao Cheng is really not clean, he cheated.
Ji Xiangyi remained expressionless and pondered for a moment, then said in a steady tone, “Well, what about the result of the other thing I asked you to investigate?”
Her tone was very calm, so calm that it was frightening.
”I haven’t found anything wrong with Miss Fang yet.”
”But there is one strange thing. Today, Ms. Fang scolded the second young master’s agent in the hot pot restaurant.”
Ji Xiangyi paused for a moment, and then she seemed to be a little bit unconvinced: “You said, she scolded Ji Xiangchen’s agent?”
Fang Ning and Ji Xiangnian had only been married for a few days, and Fang Ning was already dating Ji Xiangchen. How could they be so familiar with each other?
”Yes, yes, President Ji, your sister-in-law is so weird!”
”She was particularly sarcastic, asking Young Master Ji and his agent if they were cheating on each other!”
“………”
Working too late, Ji Xiangyi rubbed her temples, trying to relax herself and also trying to jump out of these jumping words.
The assistant on the other end of the phone continued, “Your sister-in-law even asked in a sarcastic tone whether the agent was a spy who passed information to Young Master Ji’s rival family.”
Ji Xiangyi: “…”
What does this have to do with anything?
”Oh, there’s one more thing I forgot to mention. Miss Fang and Young Master Ji are going to the same crew in a few days. I heard they have a love scene. Do you want to check it out?”
Fang Ning and Ji Xiangchen are brother and sister-in-law, and they are also well-known celebrities in the entertainment industry. Now they are filming in the same crew, and the brother and sister-in-law have emotional scenes, which inevitably makes people think too much.
The assistant thought it was best to tell her about this.
”No need, Ji Xiangchen is Ji Xiangchen, and I am me.” Ji Xiangyi didn’t even raise her eyelids as she said those heartless words without regard for family affection.
”But……”
Ji Xiangyi raised her eyelashes slightly and suddenly asked again: “Wait, you mean, Fang Ning is also here? And there are love scenes?”
Assistant: “…” It seems that boss, you only selectively listen to me, right?
”Yes.”
Ji Xiangyi seemed to be suddenly interested in this matter. She pondered for a moment and said, “Check the matter tonight and leave it to me tomorrow morning.”
Assistant:”???”
No way, capitalist, it’s already past one in the morning!!
Ahhh, doesn’t he, a worker, need a break? This boss really doesn’t know how to read people’s faces! He will be fired tomorrow…
Before he could say anything, the assistant heard Ji Xiangyi on the other end of the phone say coldly, “Go to the finance department this month to get an extra salary.”
After hearing this, the assistant did not even have a second to hesitate and immediately stated his position: “Okay, Ms. Ji, Ms. Ji, don’t worry, I guarantee that I can complete the task!”
”Boss Ji, do you have anything else to say?”
Ji Xiangyi raised her head, looked at the dazzling starry sky, and said lightly: “Yes, let me make it clear that Zhao Cheng is no longer my boyfriend. Don’t say he is my boyfriend anymore.”
Fang Ning was right, it was hard to find a three-legged woman, but it was not hard to find a two-legged man.
Ji Xiangyi lacks family affection, but she has no shortage of men pursuing her.
Speaking of Fang Ning, Ji Xiangyi looked at the endless darkness outside the window with a somewhat cold look on her face.
What on earth was going on when Fang Ning’s voice rang in her mind while she was eating?
Ji Xiangnian has been busy with overseas acquisitions recently, and she is in charge of all the domestic work. She has to rest at around 12 o’clock every day.
Is it because I am too busy at work and there is something wrong with my brain function?
I thought that there was something wrong with my brain because Ji Xiangnian insisted on going to the United States to discuss some crappy cooperation.
The look in Ji Xiangyi’s eyes gradually became cold.
Just as Ji Xiangyi was struggling with her brain function problems, there was a knock on the door.
Ji Xiangyi withdrew her thoughts, walked to the door and opened it.
A beautiful face came into view, it was Fang Ning.
She held a plate of barbecue, with a big smile on her face: “Xiang Yi, I asked Uncle Li and the others to prepare some barbecue for midnight snack, let’s eat together.”
Ji Xiangyi generally doesn’t like to eat too late. Just as she was about to speak, a sound suddenly came to her mind:
[Oh, I’m really smart. I found a partner for a late-night snack, so I won’t be the only one getting fat! ]
Ji Xiangyi was now certain that it was not a problem with her brain skills, but that this world was too incredible.
————
Ji Xiangyi has not yet received the information about Ji Xiangchen and Fang Ning filming together, but someone has obtained it in advance.
United States.
Assistant Zheng received information from China about his boss’s family and immediately put down the document he was working on.
During this period, the company is negotiating cooperation with a company in the United States, and it has reached a critical stage. This cooperation is a key negotiation for their company to enter the overseas market.
They have been working day and night for more than half a month. Today, the boss has a very important document to deal with and has instructed that no one should disturb him no matter how big the matter is.
However, Assistant Zheng looked at the message on his phone.
Having followed his boss for more than ten years, he understood that in his boss’s mind, his family affairs were more important than anything else.
Thinking of this, Assistant Zheng quickly got up, walked to the boss’s office and knocked on the door.
A very unhappy voice came from the office: “I’m very busy now.”
”Chairman, we received a message from China about Xiang Chen and your wife…”
The voice inside paused for a moment: “Come in.”
The door opens.
A man with stern features sat upright at the table, wearing a well-ironed suit without a single wrinkle, with long eyebrows and deep eyes.
He looks to be in his thirties, and his every move is calm and reserved.
Unlike young people in their early twenties who are outspoken and flamboyant,
This man has experienced the precipitation and baptism of the years, and exudes a calm and composed aura from the inside out.
One look at him makes people want to follow his figure involuntarily.
”What’s the matter?” The man gently put down the high-quality pen in his hand without even raising his eyelids.
Assistant Zheng said with a stiff upper lip: “Chairman, take a look at this. It seems that Xiang Chen and your wife are going to join the same crew to film a drama, and there will be emotional scenes.”
Ji Xiangnian then shifted his gaze and looked at the message on the mobile phone on the table.
Assistant Zheng continued to explain: “Chairman, something seems to be wrong. Do you want someone to check it out?”
Not long after the wife married the chairman, she was arranged to film the same scene with Ji Xiangchen, a scene involving emotions. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong.
Ji Xiangnian kept his eyes fixed, thought for a moment, and said in a steady voice: “No need, Ji Xiangchen is already in his twenties, not a teenager, you go out first.”
”Okay.” Assistant Zheng felt that something was wrong. It was very wrong.
Everyone in the company knows that what their boss values most is his family.
Not to mention Ji Xiangchen’s appearance on variety shows, even how many times Ji Xiangchen, Ji Xiangyi, and Ji Xiangzhou poop in a day, their boss must know it clearly.
Of course, this statement may be a bit exaggerated, but the situation is so horrible. He arranged all the affairs of his younger brothers and sister and did not let them resist. If they dared to go west, he would break their legs.
My boss is such a control freak towards his younger siblings.
So privately, as far as he knew, the three siblings of the Ji family all called their boss the dictator.
Now his own boss doesn’t care about his younger brothers and sister. It’s strange, strange, really strange.
Assistant Zheng looked up at the sun outside the window. The sun doesn’t rise from the west.
So does a man’s temperament really change drastically after getting married?
Of course, not all men change their temperament after getting married.
The assistant leaves.
Ji Xiangnian poured himself a glass of water. He shook the glass casually, looking at the transparent water, and his stern face seemed to remember something.
The assistant mentioned Xiang Chen.
Ji Xiangnian thought of that night again.
That night, he called the three of them back and said he wanted to marry Fang Ning.
As their eldest brother, he hoped to get the blessings of his younger brothers and sisters. Even if it was not a blessing, he also wanted to hear their thoughts on him marrying Fang Ning.
But the result was: Xiang Chen was silent, Xiang Yi was speechless, and Xiang Zhou was indifferent.
They react like this.
This forced him to reflect on whether he was a complete failure as a brother.
When their parents died in a car accident, the twins Xiang Chen and Xiang Yi were less than ten years old, and Xiang Zhou was still a baby in swaddling clothes.
He was only eighteen years old, so he didn’t know what to do with the three of them.
He gave them the best material things, sent them to the best high schools, provided them with tens of thousands of living expenses per month in college, and he also helped them decide on their career directions.
It’s just that Xiang Chen is rebellious and insists on entering the entertainment industry.
He thought he had done well enough.
But what happened that day forced him to wonder if he was an incompetent brother.
When he got married, none of the three of them was willing to say a word of blessing.
No, that shouldn’t be the case. There must be a second reason.
Is it possible that they don’t like Fang Ning, who is younger than them, to be their sister-in-law?
Ji Xiangnian knew that he didn’t have much feelings for Fang Ning.
Fang Ning’s mother and her own mother are good sisters.
Every time they met, they would say they wanted to become in-laws, but Fang Ning’s mother couldn’t get pregnant.
Fang Ning was not born until he was ten years old.
When she was one month old, she would cry no matter who held her. Her mother asked him to hug Fang Ning.
The baby stopped crying.
Fang Ning’s mother didn’t care about the age issue and smiled and told his mother to settle the marriage.
After all, fate played a trick on people. His parents died in a car accident, and Fang Ning’s mother also died of illness.
The two families lost contact just like that.
A few months ago, Fang Rong came to him, hoping that he could marry Fang Ning.
He wanted to shut up those uncles and aunts, and Fang Ning also seemed to want to use him to escape from the home with a stepmother.
They talked and signed a contract for three years, and no one would interfere with anyone else.
He was willing to pay Fang Ning several million in living expenses every month.
Fang Ning only needs to play the role of his wife when he needs it and help him block those people outside.
They each got what they needed.
Of course, he hoped that the relationship between the two of them was purely financial and there was no need for romance.
It was not difficult for him to give Fang Ning several million a month, and he was willing to do so.
All he can give is money, as for love, he cannot satisfy her.
Because the little girl was not the perfect wife candidate in his mind.
The wife he wanted was intellectually perfect, elegant, and able to live in harmony with Xiang Chen, Xiang Yi, and Xiang Zhou.
Speaking of the three of them.
Ji Xiangnian seemed to be thinking about something, and he tapped the table lightly with his slender, beautiful fingers.
After a moment, he picked up his phone and called Ji Xiangchen. The phone rang for several seconds and then stopped.
The second time, the call was connected, but was hung up directly.
Looking at the hung up call, Ji Xiangnian shook his head.
It seems that Xiang Chen is still angry about me letting him join the company.
After thinking about it, Ji Xiangnian dialed more than a dozen mobile phone numbers on his mobile phone.
This time, the phone rang for just a few seconds before the other end picked up.
Ji Xiangnian said slowly: “Hello, Fang Ning, it’s me.”
