Chapter 180: Chapter 152: Zhengran, Why Are They Calling You President Lin?

Jiang Xueli tensed up and answered nervously, now understanding what was going on.

She suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

’Zhengran is the boss now, which means... I’ll be the boss’s wife, right?’

’And from now on, the money I earn will pretty much be all ours! Zhengran is going to have so much money!’

Lin Zhengran also got up to have some tea, watching Lili, who was still lost in her own whirlwind of thoughts.

He smiled at her.

Jiang Xueli returned a nervous smile.

She followed Lin Zhengran over and sat down on the sofa.

Pan Lin set down the tea, placing the cups in front of them. "President Jiang’s driver just called. She’s on her way back and should be here in ten to twenty minutes. She asks if President Lin would please wait a little longer."

"Yes, I understand."

"In that case, I’ll go tidy up President Jiang’s office. Please let me know if you need anything. I’ll just be next door." With that, she excused herself again.

Jiang Xueli waited until she had left before breathing a sigh of relief and looking at Lin Zhengran.

Lin Zhengran looked curiously into her large, sparkling eyes. "What is it? More questions?"

Jiang Xueli shook her head, her pigtails swinging back and forth.

She broke into a wide grin. "It’s nothing... I just feel like you’ve suddenly become so incredible, Zhengran. And I mean the really, *really* incredible kind..."

"It wasn’t so sudden. This was bound to happen sooner or later. Didn’t I tell you before that having you join the studio was just a temporary arrangement? I was always going to bring you to my side in the end."

Jiang Xueli smiled and nodded.

A moment later, Wang finished her meeting with the singers downstairs and went up to the second floor to consult with Lin Zhengran. Just then, a Rolls-Royce pulled up to the company entrance.

The gate guard saw the car and hurried to raise the barrier, greeting Jiang Jingshi, "President Jiang!"

Jiang Jingshi smiled. In the distance, Pan Lin rushed over to meet her.

"President Jiang, you’re here?"

She opened the car door for Jiang Jingshi.

Jiang Jingshi asked, "Zhengran is at the company, right? What time did you pick him up?"

With her heart pounding, Pan Lin explained what had happened that morning. She knew she had to be completely honest; if she tried to fudge the details and President Jiang found out later, the consequences would be even worse.

"President Jiang... President Lin arrived at eight o’clock this morning. I thought he wasn’t coming until nine, so when I went downstairs at eight, I was busy..."

After Pan Lin finished speaking, Jiang Jingshi’s elegant brows knitted together, her expression gradually clouding over with displeasure.

"What did you just say? Didn’t I tell you to come down early and wait for him? What exactly do I keep you around for?"

"I’m sorry, President Jiang... I..." She knew Jiang Jingshi would be angry, but she hadn’t expected her expression to shift so drastically. "It will absolutely never happen again."

"He wasn’t angry, was he?"

"No, President Lin is very kind... He was very polite to me."

"I didn’t think Zhengran would get angry over something so minor. This is your only warning. Make sure you learn from this."

Pan Lin nodded cautiously. "I understand, President Jiang."

With that said, she followed Jiang Jingshi into the company.

’Still, it’s obvious,’ she thought, ’that compared to other people, Lin Zhengran’s status in Jiang Jingshi’s heart is far more important.’

’After all, the investigation President Jiang had me conduct last time revealed that she has known President Lin since they were children. The bond between childhood sweethearts is a heavy one, indeed.’

Jiang Jingshi walked into the company and went straight to the second floor.

She saw Lin Zhengran in the office, talking with Wang Lan.

"Zhengran, Wang, my apologies for being late."

As she entered, Lin Zhengran, Jiang Xueli, and Wang Lan all rose to their feet.

They all exchanged greetings.

"President Jiang."

"Jiang."

"President Jiang..." That last one came from Jiang Xueli.

Jiang Jingshi walked over to them, though her eyes landed on Lin Zhengran first.

"Please, sit." She then looked at Jiang Xueli. "Lili, you’re here too? In that case, let’s get straight to business."
