Jiang Chaoge suddenly hesitated; she absolutely did not want to bow and scrape to Gu Anxi, but now she had to make nice with him, even though her relationship with King Jingyao was nowhere near as strong as before.
Having been in the field for many years, Secretary Wang could read her thoughts just from her expression, so he smiled faintly and offered advice: "You’re being muddled."
"Oh?" Jiang Chaoge gave him a sidelong glance, seemingly indifferent.
Secretary Wang lowered his voice, speaking slow and calm: "Think about it, what kind of woman does Mr. Wang need? —Of course, soone who understands him and stands by him. Although his relations with the Bo Family aren’t what they used to be, the Bo Family’s foundation is still there; it will be useful in the future. Since Mr. Wang hasn’t turned his back on them, why should you play the villain?"
Jiang Chaoge suddenly understood.
That’s right.
If she ends up with King Jingyao in the future, she’ll inevitably face various people. Even though Gu Anxi has many traits that annoy her, she must tolerate him in that position to save face for King Jingyao.
With this realization, her gaze towards Wang Jingchuan changed: "Aren’t you close with Gu Anxi, so why are you helping now?"
Secretary Wang chuckled: "Dr. Jiang, my imdiate superior is Mr. Wang, not Little Gu. Who do you think I lean toward? There’s no logic in supporting outsiders while holding Mr. Wang’s position."
Jiang Chaoge believed him halfway and, after considering for a mont, smiled slightly at Wang Jingchuan: "Then thank you, Secretary Wang."
"No problem, no problem." Wang Jingchuan pointed to the door: "Do you need to go in and accompany Mr. Wang?"
Jiang Chaoge shook her head, "I’d better not."
She had more important things to do now.
The Secretary earnestly escorted her to the elevator door, treating her like the future matriarch, which made Jiang Chaoge feel utterly satisfied, finally understanding the intoxicating feeling of standing at the top.
Wang Jingchuan saw her off and returned to the hospital room, where King Jingyao was resting and reviewing docunts. He raised his eyes: "Did she leave?"
The Secretary stepped forward: "Yes, she’s gone. It took quite an effort. But it seems to that Dr. Jiang plans to exert herself with the old lady."
"Why is she going to the old lady?" King Jingyao inquired indifferently.
The Secretary smiled faintly without responding.
King Jingyao glanced at him, understanding, and continued reviewing his docunts without much concern, saying: "It’s better this way; she won’t bother , and the old lady can polish her up."
The Secretary spoke softly: "If the polish works, will you marry her?"
Just as he finished speaking, his superior glared at him, prompting the Secretary to shut his mouth and dare not speak further.
King Jingyao spoke in a bland tone: "Are you joking with too, Jingchuan?"
Wang Jingchuan soothed his boss: "How would I dare joke with you? I’m just giving a suggestion."
"It’s a bad suggestion too." Old Wang rebuffed unhappily: "I never said I’d marry her."
The Secretary, ever the witty one, just laughed: "Exactly, since you won’t say anything, I’ll give a hint, and a smart person like Dr. Jiang might be misled by her cleverness, right?"
Old Wang frowned: "Won’t this be kind of shady?"
"So, will you marry her?" the Secretary hesitated to ask.
Old Wang glared at him fiercely, and the Secretary imdiately fell silent.
Old Wang was supposed to focus on his docunts but suddenly hesitated, took a long ti before speaking softly: "Jingchuan."
Wang Jingchuan imdiately leaned forward: "What is it?"
Old Wang’s gaze lingered on the docunts for a long ti before he murmured: "Jingchuan, do you think I’m too harsh with her?"
The Secretary knew exactly but feigned ignorance: "Are you referring to Dr. Jiang?"
Old Wang gave him an annoyed look: "I’m talking about that little brat."
"Oh... so Little Gu? It’s not bad, after all, you gave her half your property, which is quite generous," the Secretary deflected, avoiding his boss’s preference.
Here, Old Wang felt quite upset, losing interest in work and wanting a cigarette. The Secretary imdiately held him back, "Your health isn’t good, better not smoke. I was just teasing you earlier; considering your bond with Anxi, how could a minor issue make you distant? Over ti, you’ll naturally grow close again."
"Who wants to get close to her?" Old Wang scoffed softly and then sulkily looked at the docunts. After a mont, he lifted his eyes with a grim face: "Make sure people oversee Jiang Chaoge’s project; no mistakes allowed, understand?"
The Secretary nodded: "Okay, I’ll handle it properly, but I doubt Dr. Jiang will easily hand over the project or use our people."
King Jingyao naturally understood; this was, after all, a piece of at in Jiang Chaoge’s hands. Originally, this piece belonged to him, but Jiang Chaoge seized the opportunity and swallowed it whole, of course, he was dissatisfied but had to manage it for the ti being.
Over there, Jiang Chaoge indeed went to Old Wang’s to win favor, not only bringing expensive gifts but also buying groceries and showing off her tasks, proving she was not only a strong woman but also a capable wife for King Jingyao.
After working hard, she finally arrived at the old lady’s place. Unfortunately, Gu Anxi had co too.
Jiang Chaoge stopped her car, gritting her teeth: Gu Anxi had stopped interacting with the Wang Family, so why didn’t he waste any ti sucking up to the old gentleman and old lady?
