When Ruan Xingwan and Jiang Chuning arrived at the studio, Pei Shanshan was taking new product photos of the model.
Because of the promotion through online channels, the customer flow in the store has doubled than usual.
Although Pei Shanshan has already recruited people, the ones he has hired are those responsible for e-commerce operations. The studio's manpower is obviously a bit stretched.
A group of busy and exhausted little girls saw Ruan Xingwan, their eyes were shining.
Ruan Xingwan walked to the side of the front desk and said to the customers who were queuing up to pay: "Come over here."
With Ruan Xingwan’s help, the checkout speed was much faster.
Several people recognized Ruan Xingwan's arrival and immediately discussed in low voices, saying that she was even more beautiful in person than in the photos.
After this wave of customers left, the store was temporarily emptier and not as busy as before.
A little girl said: "Sister Xingwan, you are finally back!"
Ruan Xingwan smiled: "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"It doesn't matter if it's hard work or not, Sister Shanshan has given us a salary increase."
While they were talking, Pei Shanshan also came back from next door. When he saw Ruan Xingwan, he gave her a big hug: "Xingxing, I miss you so much."
Ruan Xingwan patted her on the back and said with a smile: "I've only been there for a month, but it feels like I haven't seen her in several years."
Pei Shanshan let her go and rubbed her waist, sighing: "Not seeing her for one day is like three autumns."
Ruan Xingwan saw this: "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"No, it's just that my waist is a little sore after standing for a long time."
Pei Shanshan said, looking at Jiang Chuning who was standing behind Ruan Xingwan, looking around curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Who is this?"
Ruan Xingwan said: "It's... one of my little sisters. She has been helping in the studio during this time."
With that said, Ruan Xingwan called Jiang Chuning over, and asked a little girl to take her to familiarize herself with the studio, and then she and Pei Shanshan entered the office inside.
After closing the door, Pei Shanshan sat on the sofa and asked doubtfully: "Where did you get your sister?"
Ruan Xingwan touched his eyebrows: "This... it's a long story."
Pei Shanshan suddenly became interested: "Tell me more."
"She is from the Jiang family."
Pei Shanshan was stunned, obviously not expecting this answer: "Then how...oh! I understand, the little one is still in Jiangzhou. Did Mr. Zhou specially capture her as a hostage?"
"It's not like this."
Ruan Xingwan briefly explained what happened in Jiangzhou during this period, as well as the relationship between Zhou Cishen and the Jiang family, leaving Pei Shanshan stunned.
After a long time, Pei Shanshan finally spoke with difficulty: "This thing is a bit overwhelming. I need time to digest it."
After a pause, she continued: "So Mr. Zhou's mother was deceived by his father into coming to Nancheng, and was raped by the mistress without knowing it at all?"
Ruan Xingwan nodded: "That's right."
Pei Shanshan cursed and said: "Fuck, I just thought Zhong Xian was nothing before, but I didn't expect that Zhou... is really not a family. If you don't enter the same family, why are they so disgusting? Mr. Zhou's illegitimate son really carries the name
injustice."
Ruan Xingwan lowered his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Pei Shanshan added: "By the way, you just said that Zhou Junnian's car accident had something to do with the Jiang family, right?"
"right."
"So Mr. Zhou... what are you thinking now? I remember that he and Zhou Junnian have always had a good relationship."
Ruan Xingwan took a breath and looked out the window: "I don't know either."
Zhou Cishen was in an unusual mood that night after he came back from Jiang's house, but after that, he was the same as before. Ruan Xingwan didn't know what he was thinking.
No, I was afraid that he would be unhappy if I mentioned this matter again.
Pei Shanshan sighed and comforted: "But I think Mr. Zhou's brain circuit is quite different from ordinary people sometimes. Maybe he doesn't take it to heart at all, so you don't have to worry. It will be fine after a while."
Ruan Xingwan's lips twitched: "I hope so."
After saying that, Pei Shanshan tentatively said, "That little girl is really Jiang Shanghan's fiancée."
Ruan Xingwan said: "Yes."
Pei Shanshan clicked her tongue: "I heard you say last time that Jiang Shanghan is very similar to Mr. Zhou, so he should be quite handsome. Why is she so afraid to avoid him?"
…
Zhou Group, President's Office.
The heads of various departments were reporting to Zhou Cishen on their work in the past month. Halfway through, they found that Zhou Cishen didn't seem to be listening, but was looking out the window with no emotion on his face.
The supervisors' hearts suddenly rose to their throats, thinking that Zhou Cishen was dissatisfied with their report, and they all looked to Lin Nan for help.
Lin Nan was ordered to face the danger and spoke under pressure: "Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Cishen retracted his thoughts: "Are you done?"
The supervisor who was reporting said: "Not yet... not yet, Mr. Zhou, I..."
"Put your things down and get out. I'll call you if you have any questions."
A group of people quickly put down the documents in their hands and seemed to run away.
After they left, Lin Nan said: "Mr. Zhou, is there something wrong?"
Zhou Cishen took a document and flipped through it: "Have you found Jiang Yan?"
Now it was Lin Nanxin's turn to raise her voice: "Not... not yet."
Jiang Yan should have known that Zhou Cishen would look for him and hid him in advance. In addition, no one was more familiar with them than Jiang Yan, so he could know their every move in advance.
Since then, the difficulty has been greatly increased.
Zhou Cishen closed the document in front of him, raised his head, his eyes were neither cold nor indifferent.
Lin Nan immediately said: "I will order you to go down now and send more manpower."
"No."
Zhou Cishen continued, "Do you have any news about the people following Zhou Junnian?"
Lin Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "The young master has indeed been taking the chairman around to see doctors since he arrived in Canada.
We have eliminated several groups of people who were arranged by the chairman's wife before, but these are all people from the Zhong family in the past and have nothing to do with Jiangzhou."
Zhou Cishen said calmly: "It's just a cover-up. Zhong Xian died so violently that there's no way he could be left with some useless trash."
"Then let's keep following, they should appear soon."
"Take everyone back."
Lin Nan was stunned and thought he heard wrongly: "Withdraw...come back?"
Zhou Cishen hummed: "There's no need to follow."
Lin Nan didn't ask any more questions and responded: "Okay."
"Lin Zhi'an hasn't been found yet?"
"……without."
Zhou Cishen pursed his thin lips slightly and tapped the table with his long fingers, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he spoke: "Send someone to help them find it. Will this matter have to be postponed until the Chinese New Year?"
"I'll do it now."
"etc."
Zhou Cishen added, "Jiangzhou may send people over recently. Don't let them make trouble and deal with it in advance."
