"Er — yes."

"This ring - is it expensive? Your husband really loves you! "

"Huh?" Qiao Yi was startled, and immediately shook his head, "No, no, this is just a fake. Not expensive. "

Was this fake diamond ring really that luxurious? Even the Manager Sun was mistaken.

"Fake?" Sun Zhizhang looked at Qiao Yi who was anxiously denying the truth and then looked at the storage ring. Then, he smiled meaningfully, "Hehe. "Maybe."

Qiao Yi frowned, he did not think about Manager Sun's smile that seemed to have a deeper meaning.

When they arrived at the airport, Qiao Yi followed Sun Zhizhang and received Matsumoto's people, Matsumoto Yilang and his two assistants.

Seeing the Manager Sun using his fluent Japanese to chat with Matsumoto, Qiao Yi, however, could only roughly understand his words. It seemed that he needed more practice. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

After receiving Matsumoto, they went straight to the dining hall Sun Zhizhang had decided on in advance to welcome them.

It was inevitable to drink wine when welcoming customers and eating with them.

However, Qiao Yi knew that his tolerance for alcohol was low and he was even more unwilling to drink, but he had no other choice.

It was a good thing that they did not make things difficult for her. Perhaps, it was because she was a shy girl, and under Sun Zhizhang's protection, she did not drink her wine.

After that, she was like a foil, unable to eat to her heart's content. She had to listen to the two bosses' conversation while smiling. She silently prayed that she could quickly finish this meal and go home to her husband's arms for comfort.

It was finally the end of the meal. Seeing that Matsumoto and the others were still satisfied, Qiao Yi became extremely excited and wanted to return home.

"Exhausted from the journey? Relax? "

"Why not Miss Qiao together?"

When Qiao Yi was seventy to eighty percent sure that he still heard it, Matsumoto's next words made Qiao Yi's footsteps that were about to leave freeze.

It seemed that relaxation and joy would follow after dinner. This had become a well-established rule.

But to Qiao Yi, even though it was her first time facing such a situation, it was useless if she wanted to escape.

Beside him was Matsumoto. Beside him was the girl he had found to cover herself with a few pieces of cloth. She was on her guard against Matsumoto's movements.

A hand suddenly appeared on his shoulder, scaring Qiao Yi so much that he almost cried out in alarm.

"Relax, Qiao Yi, relax —"

On the other side, Sun Zhizhang was holding a wine cup in one hand and patting her stiff shoulder with the other. She didn't seem to have any other intentions, it was just that Qiao Yi really didn't like being so close to her.

"Manager, this-I'm feeling a little uncomfortable. "How about I —"

"Alright, I'll walk you out."

It was very strange, Sun Zhizhang was very straightforward, he stood up and pulled Qiao Yi by the wrist, then spoke to Matsumoto and the others, then pulled Qiao Yi and walked out.

Far away from the extravagant yet suffocating private room, Qiao Yi quickly pulled back his arm and nervously walked out.

"Qiao Yi, there will be many such occasions in the future. If you continue to be like this, then you will be a mere employee for the rest of your life."

Sun Zhizhang spoke with a calm tone, but Qiao Yi was actually extremely annoyed.

"Manager, I'm actually quite unpromising."

Although it was dangerous to admit in front of her superior that she was not ambitious, she did think so, especially since she did not want to face such an unacceptable situation because of her so-called ambition.

"Haha …" Sun Zhizhang felt that Qiao Yi's guarded tone was kind of funny, "I don't like employees who take things lightly."

"Sorry, manager, I-"

"You can't accept it?" Sun Zhizhang retorted, "It's you who are too naive. How many people do you think are so naive like you? Just work hard enough for our company to get an order? Can you make a fortune just by printing a statement in the company? "

"Manager, I don't want to be rich." Qiao Yi retorted without a hint of politeness and perseverance in his usually calm eyes.

Sun Zhizhang was startled, he kept quiet, and finally waved his hand, "Let's go."

Qiao Yi quickly ran out of the hotel, without caring about saving money for the bus, he caught a taxi.

Qiao Yi opened the door and entered the house. Under the warm light, Lu Jingyun sat in the living room in her gentle clothes. Seeing that she had returned, he revealed a gentle smile.

Qiao Yi's anxious heart only calmed down at this moment, and she rushed into his embrace without even thinking, directly hugging him.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Jingyun caressed her back and asked soothingly.

"Who bullied you?"

His black eyes went cold, knowing that she was going to pick up a client tonight, and the heavy smell of alcohol and tobacco on her made him feel uncomfortable, especially now that she was acting strangely.

"No," Qiao Yi said softly. She had already been lifted by Lu Jingyun and seeing the coldness on his face, she quickly explained, "I'm fine, I just have some things that I can't figure out."

"What is it?"

Qiao Yi sighed, and then explained everything that had happened tonight.

"Hubby, if I were to be a clerk my whole life, I wouldn't be able to make a lot of money. So, you just have to work a little harder, okay? But don't work too hard, I'm saving it. "

Lu Jingyun said with a smile, "Alright. Leave the money to me. "

Lu Jingyun lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, "Don't ever do something like this again. If you don't like the job, go home and I'll support you. "
