Chapter 129: Capable
Jing Yichen troubled Shangguan Ning all night, so when she woke up the next morning, she was extremely tired and her body felt weak. She couldn’t help but blush when she saw traces of him, on her body.
Jing Yichen, on the contrary, was fresh and happy. He gave her a kiss when he woke up in the morning and said happily, “Wife, I will give you one day off so you can get some rest at home. You don’t need to go anywhere. Just wait for me here. We will continue with our mission tonight!”
Shangguan Ning immediately got off the bed and pursing her lips, said, “Objection! I want to work!”
“Overruled! Go back to sleep now.” Jing Yichen pulled her back to bed. He nodded with satisfaction seeing her huddle under the blanket obediently. Then he cleaned himself up and went to the living room to get some breakfast.
After he was done with breakfast, he got ready to leave.The moment he left the house, he received a text from Lee Duo – Master, the Lady is getting ready to leave for work. Is Tiger to wait till she is done or will she drive to the Enterprise, herself?
Jing Yichen smiled helplessly. He didn’t want to force Shangguan Ning to sat at home, any more than he already had. He sat in his car and chose to wait for her to come to the parking lot, instead of going to leaving for work immediately.
When Shangguan Ning hurried downstairs and was about to start her own car, she suddenly found Jing Yichen’s car standing beside hers. He hadn’t left yet.
Jing Yichen pressed the button to pull down the car window and showin Shangguan Ning his side profile, he said calmly, “Someone is being disobedient again, in their endeavour of trying to become employee of the year. So, I, the President, hereby nominate myself as the driver, who would be honoured to drive such hard working staff to work.”
Shangguan Ning’s heart, which was a bit anxious because she had lied to him, relaxed instantly. She burst into laughter, opened the car door and sat in the passenger’s seat.
“Alright, Mr. Driver, we can leave now!”
Jing Yichen smiled. He held her down to the seat and gave her a passionate kiss. He didn’t let go of her until her lips were swollen.
He put his forehead against hers, breathing heavily, as he said seductively, “If you dare to disobey me next time, you will be punished…”
Shangguan Ning was in a bit of a daze, after the kiss. She bit her lip, refusing to answer to him. Seeing that he was still holding onto her tightly, she gave him a push and said, “Let’s leave now, mister. This isn’t our bedroom, besides we are already running late!”
It was only now that Jing Yichen released her from his grasp. Then he drove her all the way to the company.
This time, he didn’t allow Shangguan Ning to get off the car, a safe distance away. Instead, he drove directly to the underground parking lot. Then, he took the private elevator, meant strictly for the President and went up to the 76th floor, with her by his side.
Shangguan Ning was not happy to enter the company with him, fearing that they would bump into someone. She was very satisfied with her equity in the company right now and she even had some colleagues who had become good friends. Everyone greeted her with a smile and turned to her for help, when they ran into a problem. She was happy with the way things were
She didn’t want to ruin this. Once they knew that she was the President’s wife, they would be very formal with her, unlike Mi Xiaoxiao who treated like she usually did.
Jing Yichen though, refused to let her go, holding her in captivity, in the elevator. forbidding her from leaving by herself. She was too weak to fight him, so eventually she gave in. She had no choice but to enter the company with him.
Luckily, very few people were at the underground parking lot, so no one saw them entering Jing Yichen’s special elevator.
Jing Yichen couldn’t help but smile, seeing his wife let out a sigh of relief when they entered the office.
Anyone else would have been eager enough to let the entire world know that she was the wife of the most powerful President in A city. She, on the other hand, kept it a secret and refused to divulge a single detail to the others. She didn’t even want to take advantage of his influence, to enhance her own status.
The longer the time he spent with her, the more extraordinary he found her to be.
Jing Yichen got to his desk and flipped open a folder lying to the right of the table. He glanced through it and found that there were some subtle changes in this form, in comparison to the company’s standard format. These changes had made the form much easier to fill up and derive conclusions from. This helped in faster, more effective research.
The contents in the form were brief and accurate, giving it a very professional feel.
When did they recruit such talented employees who had an eye for such detail ? He was very impressed. The previous form used by the company, was something that they had used for many years now. Who would’ve thought of improvising on it ? The current form was perfect.
Jing Yichen turned to the last page of the document and saw the name of the editor, at the bottom of the page – form designer – Shangguan Ning.
He was slightly surprised. He didn’t expect to Shangguan Ning to be so multi-talented.
It seemed that Lu Qing had proved to be the right choice to teach Ning all of this. Even in the present day, even though Shangguan Ning was perfectly capable of running the show by herself, Lu Qing continued to provide her with pearls of wisdom.
In the office of the Assistant to the President, Lu Qing was again teaching Shangguan Ning new things.
Lu Qing had been working at Jingsheng Enterprise for many years. He came with a lot of experience and had no drawbacks except for one – he had little knowledge of foreign languages.
Apart from English, which he could use proficiently, he had no knowledge of any other foreign languages. Shangguan Ning, on the other hand, was a genius at picking up foreign languages, which was an added advantage to their team.
Jingsheng Enterprise was involved in many overseas businesses. With Shangguan Ning beside him, Lu Qing was given a translating device, so that work affairs were handled with double the effectiveness, saving him the trouble of diverting staff from the Department of Foreign Affairs, just to translate the documents.
It was Lu Qing who had decided to put forward a proposal to the old President, Jing Zhongxiu, requesting that Jing Yichen should be allotted one more assistant.
Shangguan Ning had a lot of knowledge and she was capable of picking up all that she didn’t know already. She was diligent as well. Although she was Jing Yichen’s assistant at the moment, after she finished studying the work of different departments, it was very likely that she would be promoted to the post of the Deputy President, of the enterprise. Also, she had a special privilege as Jing Yichen’s wife, which would probably make her the senior most Deputy President, in the entire enterprise.
Eventually,Jing Yichen would still need an assistant. As Lu Qing was growing older, he realised that his energy levels were not as high as before. He was a fast learner but he was no match for the youth of today.Therefore, it was necessary that a new candidate be decided upon,at the earliest, so that the individual could be groomed for their role.
What was more, it would be better if the assistant was a man.
Lu Qing was not biased towards any gender as such. He was only thinking of it from a professional point of view. It would be much easier for a man to accompany Jing Yichen for his business trips across the globe. Besides, they could even share a room , if need be, without any eyebrows being raised.
Shangguan Ning found something very strange. When she had just joined the company, Lu Qing had said that she would only need his guidance for a couple of months, at most. Three months had passed and he was still teaching her. Not that Ning was complaining, because what he taught her, had to do with all the confidential business secrets of Jingsheng enterprises. This was not something one could hurry with. These things were complicated and important.
She didn’t ask him why she was still under his wings. What she did was to pay attention to his instructions and follow them, to study hard and to keep in mind all that he said. This was important because whenever Jing Yichen required specific data related to a certain department, she would be able to provide him with the relevant details, without any errors.
Shangguan Ning had been working extremely hard this week. She needed to not only handle the affairs at Jingsheng Enterprise, but also had to take care of Liyu Science & Technology. All of this made her quite tired.
She had wanted to take some well deserved rest during the weekend, but clearly that was not what the fates had in store for her.
The moment she got off work on Friday, she received a call.
“Shangguan Ning, I am having a birthday party and you are invited!”
