CH 11.1

In the third week of September, there was another alarm on Luo Qi’s phone. In addition to urging her mother to sleep at 10:30 every evening, there was another alarm to remind Jiang Yueru to leave work at 3:30 in the afternoon.

The phone on the table vibrated, and the alarm went off at 3:30 right on schedule.

Luo Qi turned off the alarm, got up, and went to Jiang Yueru’s office.

This morning, Jiang Yueru didn’t stay at home, and despite her family’s dissuasion, she insisted on going to work in the company, setting herself a limit of six hours a day and asking Luo Qi to supervise her.

Luo Qi knocked on the door, “Director Jiang, it’s time.”

Jiang Yueru smiled, “What’s the rush, am I annoying?”

“I’m not bothered. If you don’t want to go back yet, I’ll remind you every five minutes.” Luo Qi helped tidy up the documents on the table.

Jiang Yueru turned off the computer. She wanted to let her nephew relax a little, otherwise she wouldn’t be so desperate to help out.

“Xiao Luo, Yuanwei Medical intends to acquire a company in the same industry, you know this?”

Luo Qi hadn’t heard. Ever since Jiang Yueru’s surgery, all matters related to Yuanwei Medical were handed over to Li Rui, the vice president. After the business was reassigned, Luo Qi no longer had the authority to ask any questions.

“It’s under the charge of Vice-President Li now.”

“It doesn’t matter who is in charge,” Jiang Yueru said. “In the past few months, I have been thinking about it when I have nothing to do at home. It is better to let you go to Yuanwei Medical instead of letting you go to the branch office. The branch offices are all Yuanwei’s traditional businesses, and they don’t break any new grounds. Unlike Yuanwei Medical, which focuses on 3D printing; this will be a major trend in medical care and has a bright future.”

She added, “Yuanwei Medical has research and development centers in both Shanghai and your Suzhou city. If you go there, you will be able to travel between the two places. You can take care of your little family and your parents. How nice that would be.”

“Thank you, Director Jiang.” Luo Qi was quite familiar with the management and business teams of Yuanwei Medical, both of which were elites in the industry, “If you parachute me in, ignoring seniority, the board of directors will definitely disagree, so don’t bother. I’ll head to the branch office. It’s good to practice first, and when my ability is perfect, I will definitely take the initiative to fight for Yuanwei Medical.”

Jiang Yueru put on her windbreaker, “Let’s talk about it later, it’s not something to worry about for now. I’ll go pick up my unfilial son, he’ll be getting off the plane soon.”

Jiang Yueru always called Jiang Sixun ‘unfilial son’ in front of her, saying such harsh words, but in fact Jiang Yueru was a very open-minded mother. She never interfered in her son’s life and respected all of his thoughts and decisions.

Not only for Jiang Sixun, but also for Jiang Shenghe.

So the boss was closer to this aunt than to his own parents.

Luo Qi smiled and said, “Brother Jiang is coming back to see you again?”

“He’s not looking for me. He just wanted to eat some restaurant’s stir fried vegetables again, and he came back under the guise of visiting me. Unfilial boy.” While cursing, Jiang Yueru laughed to herself.

After turning off the lights in the office, the two went out.

Jiang Yueru asked, showing concern, “You’re almost ready for the wedding, when will you two get the certificate?”

“Next month. Pei Shixiao will be on a business trip abroad and he won’t be back until the end of the month.”

“I’ll give you a few more days off then—go out and have fun after you get the certificate.” Jiang Yueru thought for a while, “You haven’t played outside this year, have you?”

“No.” She and Pei Shixiao were both busy, and meeting each other was a luxury by itself, let alone going out to play.

“Go out while you have free time.”

When they arrived by the elevator, Jiang Yueru went in by herself. Luo Qi wanted to send her downstairs, but Jiang Yueru waved her hand, “You’re busy. The driver is downstairs, and it’s not like I can’t walk.”

Luo Qi didn’t return to her office until the elevator doors closed.

She only needed to take one day off to get the certificate. Even if she had time off, Pei Shixiao was busier than her, and there was no time for them to travel before the wedding.

This year’s birthday, he couldn’t celebrate it with her. It was already her birthday next week, and he would still be in California at that time.

From the age of 18 to 28, he would be absent from her birthday for the first time.

Luo Yu said that he would accompany her to celebrate her 28th birthday. Luo Yu has already come to Beijing. The company rented a house for her, and it wasn’t far from Luo Qi’s apartment—less than ten minutes walk.

Luo Yu visited her place every night, bringing homemade yogurt and various desserts she baked by herself. In the past, Luo Yu was very lazy and impatient, and asking her to work would mean killing her, but now Luo Yu loves baking and often cooks, her whole person has been transformed.

Today, Luo Qi still got off work at a normal hour. After Jiang Dong’s surgery, by extension, she also lived a luxurious life without needing to work overtime.

Nothing much happened when she went home, and she spent some time cleaning the apartment.

Just after seven o’clock, the doorbell rang on time.
