Chapter 137: The Branch

"Sister Jiang Li, I've missed you so much!"

As soon as Jiang Li returned to Jiang Entertainment, Xiao Ye rushed over. Having received the company's transfer notice, she hugged Jiang Li tightly, wishing she could do a 360 - degree Thomas spin with her in her arms and kiss her a million times.

Jiang Li was a bit overwhelmed by her enthusiasm. She couldn't help smiling and said, "Alright, alright. We'll still see each other every day from now on."

Where there's joy, there's sorrow.

After all, most of the employees' relatives and friends were in the local area. Moreover, being close to the company's headquarters, there were more resources and complete equipment. Some employees even had the opportunity for promotion and salary increase.

Suddenly being transferred to Huacheng, such a big change in work and life, it was only natural that some employees were dissatisfied.

Jiang Li had anticipated this long ago.

She took the initiative to negotiate with the human resources department. For all the members in her team who didn't want to go to Huacheng, they could stay locally to be responsible for other jobs.

As a result, quite a few people left.

Scattered, only Sister Chen, Xiao Ye, and the intern assistant, Jing Yi, who had previously replaced Xiao Ye, remained.

Jiang Li was surprised that Jing Yi chose not to leave. "Jing Yi, are you really sure you want to go to Huacheng with me?"

It's easy to share happiness, but difficult to share adversity.

Jing Yi nodded seriously. "Sister Jiang Li has been very kind to me. Working with you makes me feel at ease and comfortable."

The young girl was still in her internship period, full of enthusiasm and loyalty, wishing she could always follow Jiang Li.

After looking at her for a few seconds and making sure she wasn't just being obsequious, Jiang Li's heart gradually settled. She smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then let's go to Huacheng together."

...

Before leaving Jiang Entertainment, Jiang Li needed to take away the relevant important contracts and documents from the company to the branch for new transfers and backups in case of emergencies.

When she and Sister Chen came out of the legal department with the retrieved documents, Qin Yaoyao was standing in front of them with a smiling face.

"Sister Jiang Li, I heard you're going to Huacheng to be in charge of the branch. Congratulations!"

Qin Yaoyao was wearing a delicate suit dress. Her hair was in a fluffy French curl done by a stylist. The length of the dress just reached above her knees, revealing a pair of smooth legs, which was quite eye - catching.

"I'm so envious. A newbie like me doesn't even have the qualification to go."

Jiang Li could easily detect the sarcasm in Qin Yaoyao's words.

Jiang Li looked her up and down expressionlessly. "If you want to go, I'll go and tell General Manager Xiao that I won't go, and I'll give this opportunity to you. I'm sure he won't let you down."

After saying that, she pretended to walk towards Xiao Yanzhi's office door.

"No need, Sister Jiang Li. This matter should be given to someone more capable." Qin Yaoyao's face stiffened slightly, and she quickly blocked in front of her.

She didn't want to go to Huacheng at all.

If she really went to Huacheng, wouldn't it be a long time before she could see Xiao Yanzhi again?

This kind of good fortune was most suitable for Jiang Li!

Thinking of this, Qin Yaoyao felt much better. Then she remembered that she came to Jiang Li for something important. "Sister Jiang Li, actually, I have something I'd like to ask you."

She swallowed hard and looked very sincere. "Last time, I accidentally offended Mrs. Su. I've always been thinking about when I'll have the opportunity to apologize to her and redeem her impression of me."

"But I don't know much about Mrs. Su, so..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Jiang Li understood.

Qin Yaoyao was here to find out about Su Jialan's preferences from her, trying to take a shortcut to please her future mother - in - law.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't say a word, Qin Yaoyao continued, "A Yan said that when Mrs. Su had an accident before, you took care of her in the hospital for a while. You must know her better."

Hearing this, it seemed to evoke some memories. Jiang Li unconsciously pursed her lips and smiled self - deprecatingly.

It was indeed the case.

After Su Jialan was rescued, she couldn't accept the fact that she was paralyzed from the waist down. Her emotions were out of control, and she would beat people, throw things, and insult others harshly every day.

During those days, it was Jiang Li who took care of her whole - heartedly by her bedside.

By the time Su Jialan was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Li was already familiar with her living habits, preferences, and taboos.

Qin Yaoyao was here to learn from her.

"A Yan also hopes that I can get along well with Mrs. Su as soon as possible, so he asked me to come and humbly ask you for advice."

Qin Yaoyao used Xiao Yanzhi as a shield and smiled sweetly and formulaically. "Anyway, Sister Jiang Li is going to Huacheng. Just help me out before you leave. It won't take much effort."

She blinked her big eyes, looking pitiful. She seemed well - behaved and sensible.

If Jiang Li refused again, she would seem heartless.

She thought for a moment and finally compromised. "Where shall we talk?"

Qin Yaoyao's face lit up. "Let's go to my lounge. It's quite sound - proof there, and no one will disturb us."

She said it so naturally as if she had forgotten that the lounge originally belonged to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded, told Sister Chen to wait for her downstairs in the company first, and then followed Qin Yaoyao into the lounge.

In just a few minutes, Jiang Li told Qin Yaoyao all about Su Jialan's dietary preferences and taboos, as well as her daily behaviors and habits.

While Jiang Li was talking, Qin Yaoyao was more serious than in class. She kept taking notes in a small notebook, afraid of missing any key information.

"Also, Mrs. Su usually likes to trim flowers and plants. You can take some time to make up for some relevant flower - arranging knowledge, as well as the varieties and corresponding shapes of some fresh flowers. She'll be more interested in these topics."

Hearing this, Qin Yaoyao couldn't help looking at Jiang Li and said meaningfully, "Sister Jiang Li really put a lot of effort into it. You even learned flower - arranging for Mrs. Su."

This remark was highly sarcastic, almost directly saying that Jiang Li would do anything to please Su Jialan.

Jiang Li lifted her eyelids slightly and looked at her half - smiling. "Isn't it you who will need to put in effort next?"

Qin Yaoyao's smile instantly froze on her face.

Having almost finished all the necessary instructions, Jiang Li turned around and was about to walk out of the lounge to meet Sister Chen downstairs in the company.

"Sister Jiang Li." Qin Yaoyao suddenly called out to her and slowly said, "Thank you for teaching me so much. I'll work hard to be as good as you in the future."

"Oh no, better than you."

She even deliberately emphasized the last few words.

It was quite a show of arrogance.

Jiang Li was now out of favor and transferred from the headquarters, but she still looked so aloof and proud, which really annoyed Qin Yaoyao.

Why did she always act so high - and - mighty?

From now on, she was just a woman abandoned by Xiao Yanzhi.

Jiang Li didn't want to waste time and was afraid that Sister Chen would wait too long. She didn't even turn to look at Qin Yaoyao. She just casually said, "Then I wish you all your wishes come true."

As soon as she opened the door, Jiang Li almost didn't stop in time and almost bumped into a man's arms.

Xiao Yanzhi was standing at the door, with his arms crossed over his chest, looking at her coldly with his eyes.
