Ji Silin was still holding a document, reading it. He hadn’t noticed the doorway.
Meng Mian walked to the door and was about to knock, but Lu Chen spotted her first.
Lu Chen immediately stopped his report and strode toward her. “Who are you? How did you get up here?”
Only then did Ji Silin see Meng Mian at the door.
A small porcelain-white face, red lips and white teeth.
It was the delicate little thing who had bumped into him yesterday.
Ji Silin showed no flicker of emotion, and no interest whatsoever.
His cold eyes dropped again, fixed on the document in his hand.
“I’m…” Meng Mian was about to say who she was.
And explain how she had gotten up here.
But Lu Chen had already spotted the document folder in her hand, with Li Group clearly printed on it.
Lu Chen understood.
Lu Chen also remembered. He had seen this young woman yesterday.
“Oh, it’s you. You’re the one who bumped into our President yesterday.”
Yesterday, Lu Chen had gone to Li Group as well.
He had been right behind Ji Silin at the time.
“You’re here to deliver a document, right? Good, give it to me.” Lu Chen took the document directly.
Meng Mian thought these people were strange. They wouldn’t even let her speak.
Meng Mian felt like looking up at the sky.
“You can go now.” Seeing that Meng Mian actually wasn’t leaving, Lu Chen reminded her with a smile.
Inside, he was rather speechless. How had Li Group sent someone like this?
Not sharp at all.
Meng Mian was rather speechless too.
Still speechless about the original owner’s old makeup.
As long as she didn’t say anything, it seemed no one could recognize her as Meng Mian.
Back when the original owner stopped Ji Silin and confessed, Lu Chen had clearly been present.
But Ji Silin was working now, and hadn’t even glanced at her.
And there was no need to announce that she was actually his girlfriend.
Meng Mian gave a little nod. “Mm, I’ll be going then.”
Her voice was sweet and soft.
And this floor was extremely quiet right now.
The voice carried into Ji Silin’s ears with perfect clarity.
Ji Silin’s hand, mid-page-turn, paused.
Why does that voice sound so much like Meng Mian’s?
But the moment he thought of Meng Mian’s heavily made-up face, he stopped paying it any mind and went back to reading the document.
After leaving Ji Group, Meng Mian got into a taxi and headed back to the company.
It was then that Ji Silin received a call from Li Muchuan.
Li Muchuan was frantic. “Bro, I’m sorry. I just found out Du Xu had Meng Mian deliver the document to you. She didn’t cause you any trouble, did she?”
Because Ji Silin had warned him yesterday, Li Muchuan didn’t dare say a word against Meng Mian now.
At most, he only dared to ask like this.
Honestly, Meng Mian’s personality made him uneasy.
He was terrified Meng Mian would run her mouth at Ji Group too and embarrass his friend in his own company.
That was why he called the moment he learned about it.
Ji Silin’s hand, in the middle of signing, stopped.
On that cold, always expressionless handsome face, a crack seemed to appear for once.
Lu Chen hadn’t left yet and heard the voice on the phone too. He instantly looked like he’d been struck by lightning, mouth hanging open.
No. Wait.
Was that just now our President’s girlfriend, Meng Mian?!
Meng Mian looks like this?!
“No.”
Ji Silin said only that one word, then hung up.
Seeing Lu Chen still staring dumbly, Ji Silin, without a flicker of emotion, said the word “Out.”
Only after Lu Chen flew out at top speed and pulled the office door shut behind him did Ji Silin set down his pen and pinch the bridge of his nose.
A little awkward.
My own girlfriend. I’ve seen her twice, and both times I didn’t recognize her.
But the difference really is large.
She clearly… how could…
No wonder her voice was so sweet and soft too.
Ji Silin pinched the bridge of his nose again, then picked up his phone.
He hesitated for a rare moment before sending Meng Mian a message.
And transferring five million yuan.
Meng Mian was in the back seat of the taxi, scrolling through short videos on her phone.
Suddenly her phone received two messages.
One from Ji Silin. [Ji Silin: Sorry. You came all the way over, and I didn’t recognize you.]
And a bank notice.
[Bank Notice: Ji Silin transferred you five million yuan.]
She didn’t care why Ji Silin had transferred her money again, or why it was as much as five million.
But Ji Silin had already given her that written guarantee.
So whatever he gave her was hers.
Why not take free money?
Meng Mian immediately sent back a cute sticker.
Thank you, God of Wealth sticker
And because she was too lazy to type, she replied by voice message. “No need to apologize. My colleagues didn’t recognize me either. I just used to wear my makeup too heavy.”
Then she casually asked, “How did you figure out it was me?”
When Ji Silin saw Meng Mian had straight-up called him the God of Wealth, he had no particular reaction.
She was going to be his girlfriend for three months. Of course he wouldn’t be stingy with compensation.
That was also why, even though her earlier hints had been so fake that anyone could see at a glance she just wanted him to give her money, he had still given it.
It was just that he was still a little embarrassed, so he still didn’t send a voice message.
He typed instead.
[Ji Silin: Muchuan called me. He said Du Xu had you deliver the document.]
Meng Mian replied with a sticker.
Oh, oh sticker
Then she sent a voice message. “Go be busy. I’m on my way back to the company.”
Ji Silin thought the current Meng Mian was really sensible, not clinging to him at all.
Compared to the past few days, he was very satisfied now.
He replied with a single “Okay” and was about to set down his phone.
But before he could, there was a knock at the office door.
Ji Silin said, “Come in,” and Lu Chen, who had just left, hurried back in.
“President, the old master just called me and demanded to know whether you really have a girlfriend. He asked why your schedule is still work, work, work every day, and why there’s no sign of you dating your girlfriend, having meals with her, and so on.”
Ji Silin frowned.
Isn’t having one enough? Why does it only count as really dating if there are dates and meals and all that?
“Didn’t you tell him I chat with her on my phone?”
“I did, but the old master just won’t believe it. He said you must be lying to him, and that something must be wrong with the family ancestral graves, otherwise why would you not like men or women at this point…”
Ji Silin’s head hurt.
“And he also said…” Lu Chen didn’t quite dare to say it.
“Said what?”
“And he said he’s going to gather the clan elders right now to discuss relocating the ancestral graves!”
If this weren’t his own grandfather, he’d have wanted to ship the man off to Africa.
Ji Silin kept pinching the bridge of his nose.
After a long moment, he said, “Call him and tell him I actually have dinner scheduled with my girlfriend tonight.”
“Yes, sir!” Lu Chen immediately went out to call the old master.
Ji Silin pinched the bridge of his nose again, then transferred Meng Mian one million.
After seeing Ji Silin reply “Okay,” Meng Mian immediately exited the chat and went back to short videos.
Who would have thought another message related to Ji Silin would pop up.
Ji Silin had transferred her another one million.
Before, every transfer had had a stated reason.
This was the first time he’d just dropped money with nothing said.
Meng Mian found it strange and immediately asked by voice message, “Why did you transfer me money again? Is something up?”
Her voice was sweet and soft.
Hearing it, Ji Silin’s irritation eased a few notches.
