As soon as Jeremy Xie opened the door, Ella Jiang carefully lifted the hemline of her dress and got into the car. Not long after, the car had stopped at the gate of the villa.
"Here we are, boss. Thank you so much for inviting me to such a luxurious wedding today." Ella Jiang's drunkenness seemed to have faded away.
"You're welcome. To some extent, you've earned this opportunity by yourself," Jeremy Xie said with a smile. Then she got out of the car and opened the door for Ella Jiang, taking the windbreaker from her hand.
Ella Jiang took off her high-heeled shoes and jumped out of the car with bare feet while holding the hemline of her dress, which seemed to be a burden to her. She shouted happily, "my feet are finally free!"
With the help of Jeremy Xie, she gently put on the wind coat for Ella Jiang, and then walked to the door and rang the doorbell.
"Mrs., you're back!" Snow ran out to welcome her. "Thank you, boss. Thank you for sending Mrs. back."
"It's my pleasure. Take good care of your lady. I won't bother you anymore," Jeremy Xie replied with a smile.
"You know what kind of person our master is. I won't keep you." Snow said politely.
The two of them had been watching Jeremy Xie's car turn the street before they went back, talking and laughing.
And all this was seen by Edmend Qin in the distance.
In the car, Edmend Qin looked at the young master of the Xie clan, Ella Jiang and Snow. For a moment, he felt as if the owner of the villa was not him, but Jeremy Xie. Everything seemed so harmonious. He saw them greeting happily and chatting with each other.
He saw Jeremy Xie put on the windbreaker for the young master of the Xie clan, watching the young master of the Xie clan run out to welcome them, and watching them watching the disappearing, he could only sit quietly in the car, like an irrelevant bystander, to witness all this.
Once upon a time, he was also the protagonist in other people's lives, and there was a small world in his own life. But after Dreame left, his small world disappeared, and his dreamy life was instantly destroyed. Now he only had nostalgia and a mechanical life, and he no longer dared to dream of a beautiful dream.
Edmend Qin started the car in a daze. uncle Feng was still waiting for him at the gate of the villa. After getting off the car, uncle Feng seemed to want to help him up. He waved his hand and staggered into the yard, passed through the hall, went upstairs, and returned to the bedroom. He didn't want to think about anything. He was really tired after a night.
The second day when he woke up, the sun was high in the sky. Edmend Qin felt a splitting headache and the sun was shining brightly in his eyes. he stood up and washed face. Then he vaguely remembered what happened at the dinner party yesterday. he looked at her watch. It was obviously too late to go to the company in the morning. he had always been regarded as a workaholic, but for the first time in several years, he didn't go to work.
Edmend Qin staggered downstairs, planning to have a good lunch. Seeing Edmend Qin, Aunt Chen and Snow quickly put the dishes they had prepared on the table.
Edmend Qin ate lunch in silence. After a while, he suddenly said, "uncle Feng!"
"master, what can I do for you?" uncle Feng asked respectfully.
"Has Ella Jiang cleaned the first floor as I said?"
"Yes. From the day you said, she had been cleaning every morning. And she got up earlier than before. she didn't delay the whole day."
There was a moment of silence.
"Tell her not to do the cleaning in the future. Thank you for your hard work."
"Okay, I will inform madam. It's our duty."
"Okay, it's all right." Edmend Qin continued to have lunch in silence.
Near noon, Fred received a document with the title of "a design of a landmark of a city". Then he walked towards Jeremy Xie's office with the document.
Fred knocked on the door twice, but there was no response. He gently pushed the door and found that it was open. He walked in and put the documents on the desk. At this time, a message came from the phone on his desk. Fred glanced at it casually and found something important!
The background of the phone was a photo of the boss and Ella Jiang! She was wearing a dress!
After closing the door, Fred took out his phone and took a picture of the background of the phone.
Then he walked out of the office quietly.
Soon, the whole company was about to explode.
Everyone in the company was secretly passing on the photo. During the meal, dozens of people were talking about this photo.
"Ella Jiang, you're awesome. You've got your dream lover so soon."
"In fact, a talented and good-looking person like Ella Jiang is a perfect match for a prince charming."
"I'm an old employee. It's the first time that my boss has an affair."
"Where are we? Why are you still wearing a dress?"
"No, no, No. It's said that there was a banquet in the design field last night. I guess the boss has also invited her."
"Sure enough, it's not an ordinary one. It's also set as a wallpaper. Obviously, I'm not afraid to tell you!"
The group of people kept gossiping.
However, there was one person in the crowd, with hatred in his eyes.
That was Kacy.
It had been more than half a year since Kacy came to the company. She had always admired Jeremy Xie, which was obvious to almost everyone in the company. However, no matter how hard Kacy tried to express, no matter how hard she tried, she always prevaricated with "no time" no matter how hard she tried. Now, a woman who had been working in the company for less than two months had a photo taken in such a short time and was even set as a wallpaper, which was unbearable for Kacy.
When no one noticed, Kacy walked to the desk of Ella Jiang and took out the theatre design drawing on it. She took it to the bathroom, tore it into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
Kacy snorted and said, "Ella Jiang, submit the drawing tomorrow. I'll see what you can do.".
After lunch, Ella Jiang returned to the company. From a distance, she saw a group of people gathering around and chatting happily. But when she took a few steps forward, she suddenly stopped talking and scattered like a bird or a beast.
Ella Jiang was confused, but she didn't think too much. She walked to her desk and sat down, but she couldn't find the design drawing.
"Have you seen the design drawing on my desk?" Ella Jiang stood up and asked.
Everyone was shocked and knew the importance of the theatre design drawing, which was to be handed in tomorrow.
Several people came over one after another to help look for her.
However, she couldn't find it after searching for a while.
At this time, Jeremy Xie also came over and asked, "what are you doing together? Aren't you going to work?"
Ella Jiang said, "my design drawing disappeared during a meal. Everyone helped me look for it for a long time, but I still couldn't find it."
At this time, a voice came from the direction of the bathroom, "the design drawing is here, but it is torn up!"
Upon hearing this, everyone went to the bathroom.
Someone picked up the pieces of paper in the basket and saw the torn design drawing of the theatre.
Whispers came from the crowd.
"Who did it? It's too much!"
"If we find out this kind of person, we should fire him!"
"It must be someone who has a grudge against Jared."
"Who could it be?"
Jeremy Xie only asked, "is there any backup?"
"Besides, I have saved a copy of the U disk." Ella Jiang replied.
"That's all right. Let's go. Submit this design first and then talk about it later." After saying that, Jeremy Xie went back to her office.
Hearing what the boss said, everyone dispersed their work.
Kacy's plot didn't work. She was a little dissatisfied, but she believed that no one would see it and there would be no problem.
Jeremy Xie went back to his office and asked Fred to bring the surveillance video.
Although Fred thought he had made a fuss, he still acted like a boss. Without answering, he left.
Soon, the surveillance video was brought over.
After watching the video, he understood everything. However, he found a problem. "Fred, did you come to my office for lunch?"
"Yes, a document is on your desk. I put it on the table when you were not there."
"Why did you close the door of my office?"
"Yes, I want to see what is written in the design, so I closed the door." Fred felt cold sweat began to break out on his back.
Jeremy Xie cast a suspicious glance at Fred, flipped through the files and said, "go ahead with your work. If you want to see the files in the future, just tell me. As for the surveillance video, I'll solve it myself. You don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, boss. I'll go now." Fred wiped the sweat off his forehead as he walked out. He didn't dare to do such a thing again. Once he found out, he would be in trouble.
Jeremy Xie was also thinking about how to deal with this matter. There was no doubt that it was Kacy who had done it. Logically speaking, it was not too much to fire her. But after all, she had not been here for a long time and had made a lot of contributions to the company. he could only wait for a few days before the news was spread.
Ella Jiang handed over the newly printed design drawing and a design manual. When she finished the work, it was already eight o'clock. There were only a few people left in the company.
When Ella Jiang walked to the door of the building, she found that it was raining heavily outside. The car at home must have gone to pick up Edmend Qin. It seemed that they had to wait until the rain was lighter.
"Why are you still here? Are you waiting for someone?" At this time, a car came over and rolled down the window. It was Jeremy Xie.
"No, I'm waiting for the rain to be lighter." Ella Jiang said honestly.
"Come on. I'll give you a ride."
Ella Jiang was instantly happy. "Anyway, you have a car. I won't stand on ceremony. If the rain is still so heavy, I will have to wait for the last bus in the rain."
Jeremy Xie liked this kind of person who was not affected at all; She could take a free ride as long as she could, without any sense of alienation.
When the car arrived at the gate, they found that Snow and Aunt Chen were already waiting for them with umbrellas in their hands.
"Mr. Xie? Mrs. Xie, master asked uncle Feng to pick you up. Didn't you meet him?" Aunt Chen asked as she handed an umbrella to Ella Jiang.
"No, I didn't. I was going to leave when the rain was getting lighter. I happened to meet Mr. Xie, so I asked him to drive me home." Ella Jiang took the umbrella and said, "thank you, boss. Drive slowly!"
Jeremy Xie rolled up the window and left.
"Oh, I guess I missed it. I'll call Terrence and tell him that you're home."
After entering the hall, Ella Jiang handed the umbrella to Snow and shook the rain off her clothes. When she looked up, she found that Edmend Qin was standing in the hall.
"Where is uncle Feng?" Edmend Qin asked Aunt Chen.
"I missed it. Mr. Xie sent her back. I'll call now." Aunt Chen said and walked towards the phone.
Edmend Qin and Ella Jiang stood there in silence.
"You're back." Edmend Qin didn't look good.
"Yes. I thought no one answered it, so I took a taxi back." Ella Jiang replied, "anyway, thank you."
Then she went to the room on the first floor.
"You don't have to clean the first floor anymore. "
Ella Jiang smiled, "then I have to thank you."
Then she walked forward without looking back.
After closing the door, Ella Jiang couldn't help but feel ridiculous. It was you who made me suffer like this. Now you think it's useless to hurt me. Are you going to erase the past? Or have you changed the policy and planned to force me to sign in another way?
Ella Jiang didn't want to think too much. She changed clothes and went to the dining room to cook for herself.
As soon as they entered the dining room, Ella Jiang found that Snow and Aunt Chen were serving the dishes on the table. She couldn't help but ask, "haven't you eaten yet?"
Snow opened her mouth quickly and said, "No. master said that you don't need to clean the first floor and have dinner with us from now on."
It's so weird. We need to reform the policies! While helping serve the dishes, Ella Jiang continued, "is your master a little split in personality?"
Snow was a little confused, "what do you mean by split personality?"
"He was just stimulated by something and his brain was not clear enough. Sometimes it would be like this, sometimes it would be like that." Ella Jiang explained.
"Okay.""No, I didn't. But I was stimulated," said Snow
"You have suffered a lot, haven't you?" Ella Jiang asked curiously.
"Yes. I heard that he once had a girlfriend called Dreame. The two of them had a good relationship and often came here to play. Later, Dreame died in a car accident. Then master was very sad and was not as optimistic as before."
Another car accident... If it weren't for the car accident, it wouldn't have led to Ella Jiang's miserable life.
"But I heard that there was something fishy about the car accident. Of course, I also heard about it. I don't know what it is exactly." Snow said as she put the last dish on the table. "I'm going to ask master to have dinner. Mrs., you don't have to eat alone in your room."
"Okay, go ahead." Ella Jiang pulled out a chair by herself and felt happy to have a normal meal at the table.
After a short while, Edmend Qin came out and sat opposite Ella Jiang. It was so quiet that she didn't know what to say.
"Well, thank you." Ella Jiang said
"For what?" Edmend Qin expressed her confusion.
Ella Jiang was thinking about how to answer her. She wondered if she should thank you for letting me have dinner in the living room and not cleaning the house? She shouldn't have done that.
"Nothing. Let's eat. I'm starving to death."
Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood today, and Aunt Chen's dishes were delicious, Ella Jiang had a good appetite and ate very well!
On the other hand, as Mrs. Qin, she had been observing Ella Jiang while eating slowly. She wondered if this woman hadn't eaten anything outside. She was so hungry that she didn't pay attention to her image as Mrs. Qin. Edmend Qin was taken aback. Since when he had the idea of admitting that he was Mrs. Qin? Well, forget it. It seemed that he had to take a long-term consideration about the divorce.
In order to finish the design drawings, Ella Jiang didn't have a good meal these days.
The dinner was finished quietly in peace.
"I'm full. I'm going back to my room." Ella Jiang stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute. I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?"
"Although I don't allow you to do those heavy work now, don't think you can enjoy your life. I won't admit your wife's identity, but you should be careful when you work outside and don't provoke some disreputable people." Edmend Qin said
"Don't worry. I don't expect you to admit my identity. The reason why I married you is to fulfill my father's last words. I just want to live a good life and work hard. As for what you said about provoking others, Jeremy Xie is just my boss, or perhaps we can make friends. Nothing else!" Ella Jiang explained
"I hope so," Edmend Qin said and left.
After returning to her room, Ella Jiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, taking off her unnecessary precaution and toughness.
She picked up the photo of her father on the table and said, "Dad, I'm really tired. I've been trying to endure it, but it's really difficult to keep my promise. I don't know how long I can hold on to such a life when I go back to this so-called home every day and endure the ridicule of that person." After saying that, Ella Jiang turned on the computer and began to work!
Now I have nothing. Not only for myself, but also for my mother. I have to work harder and complete my dream. As for Edmend Qin, I won't surrender to you. Ella Jiang thought.
Looking at the photos of Dreame, Edmend Qin began to recall the details of the past~
"Dreame, tell me what I should do. I miss you so much."
One was busy with her work with the computer in her arms, while the other was indulging in his thoughts. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
"It's done. I've finally completed the design drawing." Ella Jiang looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock. She had to hurry up, or she couldn't catch up with the morning bus.
She began to pack up and went downstairs as soon as she was ready. Seeing that Edmend Qin was having breakfast and was about to go out,
"Madam, let's have breakfast first. I'll drive you to the company later," said uncle Feng kindly.
"Don't bother, uncle Feng. I can take a bus. I'm leaving now." Ella Jiang left in a hurry without looking at Edmend Qin.
This recognition made Edmend Qin very unhappy. She had thought that she might have said something harsh last night and asked uncle Win to drive her to the company in the morning in case that she had to get up early to catch the bus every day. She didn't expect that this woman would be so ungrateful. After breakfast, Edmend Qin went to the company.
When Ella Jiang arrived at the company, Kacy walked up to him. She looked at Ella Jiang complacently and then walked over. Ella Jiang didn't pay much attention to it and went straight to Jeremy Xie's office. She was going to hand over the revised drawing last night to him, and also let him give her some advice.
"Hey, have you heard of it? According to reliable sources, Mr.W may come to China in the near future to look for a partner in his new project design of the next season." Grace said excitedly.
"Wow, you are talking about the well-known European architecture and design industry. He is a person who drives the trend of the design industry. Will any of his works be praised by a strong Mr.W?" Elena asked in surprise.
"What's more, I heard that he had been studying in Switzerland and opened his own private studio. Oh, he is Chinese. He should be a handsome man," said Lily anthomaniac.
"But it's useless for us to discuss it so intently. The key point is that we have to have something presentable so that they can see you. Let's go to work." Fred couldn't help but speak after hearing so many words. Then everyone left and began to work today.
After hearing the heated discussion among her colleagues, Ella Jiang couldn't help but ask about W and had gained more admiration for him, and at the same time, she was a little curious about what kind of person he was. Perhaps she would have the chance to learn from him.
"Knock, knock, knock, come in."
"Boss, this is the revised design drawing I revised last night. Please see if there is anything else that needs to be improved."
"Okay, put it aside first. I'll have a look later and tell you something by the way. The famous designer Mr.W from Switzerland is coming to China to look for a partner of his new project. I hope the company can successfully get this cooperation case, so you have to try your best to participate in it."
"Well, I just heard colleagues discussing this matter outside. Now even you have spoken, boss. It seems that this Mr.W is really a great person. Now I am even more curious!"
"Yes. Now that the news of his coming to China has been leaked out, there should be a lot of companies trying to win the opportunity to cooperate with him. This is a big challenge for us. Kacy told me this morning that she wanted to fight for it. Therefore, I hope you can also get involved."
"Okay, boss. Since you have said so, I will try my best. If there is nothing else, I will go out first."
"Okay, go ahead. But don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best."
"Okay, I know."
Walking out of the office, Ella Jiang began to think about it. She believed that she would be busy and full again in the following days.
"Ella, have you heard of the news that Mr.W is coming to China? It is said that he is here to look for a partner of his new project. I think it is necessary for Qin group to strive for this cooperation case. Moreover, with the current strength of the company, the probability of success is very high." Tianna suggested
"Well, I will think about it. If you have nothing else to do, you can go out to work."
"Okay. If you need anything, I'll try my best. I'll go out now." Without saying anything else, Tianna left the office.
"Hello, boss. What can I do for you?" Fred asked cautiously.
"What happened to you?" Edmend Qin asked
"Ah, what's going on? You want to ask Mrs. about Miss Ella Jiang. Everything is fine today. She went to Mr.Xie's office to report the work this morning when she came to the company. Then she walked out of the office thoughtfully just now. She must be still busy at the moment." Fred reported in detail
"Well, if you have anything to tell me, just go ahead with your work."
Fred wanted to retort.
