Chapter 20 Bai Yueguang's substitute (20)

【Your little cutie is almost exhausted.】

In the photo, Jiang Lai has a sad face, but there is a smile in her dark eyes. Hanging around her neck is the necklace Shen Liao gave her as a Valentine's Day gift. The bright diamonds look so beautiful in the middle of the woman's fair and slender collarbones.

Shen Liao was not sleepy at all and stared at the photos on her phone for a long time without looking away.

After sending the message, Jiang Lai fell asleep.

After visiting the MISS SIXTY perfume brand company the next day, Amanda, the director of the company's design department, invited Jiang to have dinner with her.

"I follow your Weibo, and I especially like an illustration you posted not long ago. It's that... rose planet. It feels like a work that could only be drawn by someone who is passionately in love."

Jiang Lai smiled sheepishly.

"That one was actually drawn at random. If you like it, you can take it and use it."

"How is that possible? But since you said so, why not sell the right to use that illustration to our company? The Autumnal Equinox co-branded perfume is about to be launched, so we can use that illustration."

Jiang Lai nodded generously in agreement.

"It's enough for me that you recognize my work. If you need cooperation in the future, you can come to me at any time."

"I like your style. Oh, and by the way, our main company has a perfume brand that is planning to launch a series of autumn and winter limited edition boxes. The theme is companionship. I think you can give it a try."

The main company of MISS SIXTY is a world-renowned cosmetics brand, and several of its luxury brands are even more popular.

The perfume brand Amanda mentioned is one of the luxury brands.

If there is an opportunity to cooperate with these brands, it will be even more powerful for Jiang Lai's career.

"Whether you can be selected or not, it is a rare attempt. You have to believe in your own strength."

Amanda is reminding Jiang Lai not to have too high hopes.

Jiang Lai nodded.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you. If you have the opportunity to come to Jiang City in the future, I will treat you to dinner."

——

"Aren't you going back to Jiang City?"

Seeing Jiang Lai buy a high-speed rail ticket to his hometown, Little Pudding was a little confused about what Jiang Lai meant.

At this time, we shouldn't strike while the iron is hot and take down Shen Liao completely.

After all, the heartbeat value is already close to 70. A simple calculation shows that a couple who is in love normally can rarely reach 70% of the heartbeat value of their partner. Although this number is not enough to be together in life and death, at least it is I can live a long life.

Jiang Lai wore a peaked cap and listened to the song calmly.

"Not going back."

She wanted to go home and take a look, because she could feel that the original owner still had a regret hidden in his heart, and that was her parents.

After the original owner committed suicide, her poor parents were so distraught that their heads turned gray overnight, and they both ended up dying of illness.

Since she used her body, Jiang Lai had to give away all her regrets during her life, which had nothing to do with the mission.

The couple were obviously surprised and excited to see their daughter again. It had been more than a year since they last saw her. Unexpectedly, not long after that, Jiang Lai came back.

"Come back as soon as you come back. Why bring your work back?"

Jiang's mother looked at the heavy tablet in Jiang Lai's suitcase and couldn't help but feel sorry for her daughter.

Jiang Lai ate watermelon, lay on the sofa and petted the dog, and spoke happily and comfortably.

"Come back for inspiration."

"Are you going to draw again?"

"Well, paint more and make a lot of money to buy you a big villa."

"Yo!"

Mother Jiang was coaxed to smile. Even though she only thought it was a joke, she was still full of joy.

It is enough for my daughter to have this heart.

After spending two leisurely days in his hometown, Jiang Lai received a call from Shen Liao.

For the first time, for the first time in his life, Shen Liao took the initiative to call her and persisted for thirty seconds without hanging up.

Jiang Lai slowly picked up the phone, while his other hand was still rapidly describing the contents of the manuscript.

"What are you doing?"

The girl's voice was sweet, and there was a little noise of hawking beside her, making it impossible to tell her exact location.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Shen Liao's voice clearly sounded displeased.

Jiang Lai curled her lips and still spoke softly. Compared to the man's repressed and dissatisfied attitude, she was still leisurely.

"I want to stay at home for a few days. My dad's 50th birthday will be in two days, and I want to celebrate his birthday with him."

When Shen Liao heard this, she was silent for a long time.

Even though the truth was true, he just wasn't happy.

"Let me know in advance next time if this happens."

"It's not a very important matter. Besides, if I'm not here, you can be alone and be alone. Didn't you always say that I'm annoying before?"

"Well, I have definitely become a lot cleaner recently. I have a meeting to attend."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lai didn't care about the other party's emotions, threw away the phone and continued to focus on the drawing in front of him.

At this time, on the other end of the phone, on the top floor of the 100-meter-high building, in front of the spacious and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, Shen Liao clutched her phone and looked at the photos on the screen.

That was a selfie that Jiang posted not long before he came.

Just this one.

After not seeing him for seven or eight days, she sent him this photo.

Obviously I am very busy, but when I calm down for a moment, I can think of Jiang in my mind.

During these days, he inexplicably felt that time passed very slowly.

It was the same today, it was past six-thirty, and the secretaries guarding the door of the boss's office were just about to pack up and get ready to leave work. Unexpectedly, the phone rang, and the next second the boss's cold voice echoed in the office.

"Meeting after get off work."

Everyone looked at each other, and then they all put down their packed bags, took off their headphones, and sat down silently to continue working.

"Secretary Dong, why is the boss working overtime this week?"

"Yes, my boss always left at six o'clock on time some time ago, and sometimes he would leave early. Why has it returned to the way it was before recently? I don't think there is anything particularly important in the company recently..."

As Shen Liao's personal secretary, Secretary Dong did know more, but he didn't dare to chew on his boss's tongue and could only sigh.

"Hey, if you stick to it for a few more days, you should be able to get off work on time soon."

"Secretary Dong, do you know something?"

Seeing that everyone in the secretary's office pricked up their ears, Secretary Dong smiled and said.

"If everyone is not busy, go and redo the minutes of the recent meeting."

"Haha, busy, busy, busy."

——

The meeting ended, it was almost nine o'clock.

Everyone in the company has left one after another, and only the largest office on the top floor is still lit.

Secretary Dong opened the door and brought a cup of coffee inside.

It was so quiet in the office that he could even hear his own breathing.

"President, your coffee."

"Put it down, you can get off work."

"Okay CEO."
