Jiang Ruolan went back to the kitchen to get the utensils. She heard Xian Zihao say, "Guiying will be home in three days, and you will accompany me to pick her up at the airport. Then, you have to go home and rest for a few more days."
Jiang Ruolan didn't quite understand why Xian Zihao didn't want her to go back to work. When she looked back, her clear eyes shone with a sparkling and translucent light. "If I don't go back to the company for a month, I'm afraid that many things will be very troublesome when I take over again. If I submit the documents earlier, it will ease Xiong Ruogang's burden. She is busy preparing for her graduation thesis."
Jiang Ruolan was originally the editor of the Business Reporting Department, and the jobs she had received will be shared between Xiong Ruogang and her other colleagues. If she doesn't go back now, she will be a newcomer to the company. Many of her colleagues have already been transferred to other departments.
Xian Zihao no longer tried to stop her. When he saw her coming out of the kitchen with a bowl and chopsticks in her hand, he couldn't help but smile at the serious way she put the bowl and chopsticks on the table.
"Guiying will be back in three days? Then is someone responsible for the affairs of her company?" Jiang Ruolan asked while sitting down.
Seeing Xian Zihao was drinking the soup she cooked, she also grabbed a bowl for herself and stirred the soup. She asked the question without thinking and lowered her head to take a sip.
The taste was not bad, no wonder Xian Zihao gave her so much face.
"I have managed it."
"Right, so what is the relationship between Qin Gengxin and Guiying?"
Xian Zihao was stunned. "What?"
"What I mean is, Qin Gengxin and Guiying have a good relationship with each other?" Jiang Ruolan asked nonchalantly.
"You want to matchmake them?"
Jiang Ruolan drank another mouthful of soup, thought for a while, and then said, "I was thinking, since they are both in Boston, and Guiying is your sister, he should have gotten along with her quite a bit. Guiying is such a good woman, I wonder why there is no spark yet between the two of them?"
Women have a gossipy nature. Since Jiang Ruolan saw Xian Guiying and Qin Gengxin at the airport, no matter how she thought about it, there's something between them. But what was the matter with the child in her womb?
No matter what, Qin Gengxin was not a scum who would leave Xian Guiying once he found out that she was pregnant with his child.
Xian Guiying clearly liked him. Could it be that Qin Gengxin would also turn into a block of wood? Could it be that there was some other secret?
Seeing Jiang Ruolan was lost in thought while drinking the soup at the same time, Xian Zihao couldn't help but smile faintly. There was also disagreement in his eyes.
"Is it because I stole his lover, so I have to compensate him with my sister?"
"Puff …"
Jiang Ruolan spat the soup back into the bowl.
She immediately looked at Xian Zihao and blinked her eyes twice. She was stunned. She shouldn't be talking about this with him.

"Ah, Sis Jiang! You've finally come to work!"
As soon as Jiang Ruolan arrived at the office and before she could even sit down, she was immediately hugged by Xiong Ruogang, who greeted her at first sight. The corner of her mouth twitched, and she pulled the girl out from her arms. "Why are you so excited? Didn't you just see me a few days ago?"
"No, Sis Jiang. I was just worried about you!" Xiong Ruogang quickly pushed Jiang Ruolan into a chair behind her desk and sat down next to her. With an innocent expression, she said, "Doesn't our company have an investment in Qin Group? Two days ago, our company was bought directly by them. In the past, our contract only included Fengyu Media company, and we would sometimes invite the Qin Group to special occasions, but now we are automatically under the Qin Group!"
"What did you just say?" Jiang Ruolan was stunned. Why was Qin Group bought this company?
Just as she was thinking, Xiong Ruogang's claws grabbed her arm and continued, "The most important thing is, President Qin will come to the meeting in two days, and the editors in all the Reporting Departments should meet with him. If you are not here, I'm the one who should go. I don't know if President Qin has a good temper, but I am afraid that if something goes wrong with the meeting, he will fire me. Now you have come to work, my two days of tension are finally over! Sis Jiang, you really came back at the right time!"
Jiang Ruolan was completely confused.
The purchase of this company was too sudden, and she hadn't heard of any news about it in advance.
In the past, when they invested in Qin Group, Qin Gengxin could be considered half her boss. Now that he had directly purchased this company, wouldn't she be working right under his nose now?
Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and opened the drawer. Her eyes fell on the drawer where the brown paper bag had been.
Now that the photos were with Xian Zihao, would he notice the broken crystal necklace? Maybe it was because she was too concerned, or maybe the other people other than the Jiang Family would not notice it.
When Xiong Ruogang saw her expression, she was a little perturbed. Originally, when she accidentally saw those photos, she was shocked, but she didn't expect that when Little Lin saw those photos, she immediately handed them over to the chief editor.
Xiong Ruogang didn't expect that things would end like this, but seeing Jiang Ruolan's expression when she opened the drawer, she couldn't help but move closer to her.
"I'm fine." Jiang Ruolan came back to her senses and looked at Xiong Ruogang with a comforting smile, "Were you frightened?"
"Yes, it's too bloody." Xiong Ruogang unabashedly adjusted her glasses. "I planned to check the files you managed on the Food Bureau, but I did not expect to see those photos."
Jiang Ruolan nodded and closed the drawer. She waved her hand and said, "Go back to work. Send the latest manuscript to my mailbox. I'll read it later."

At 10 AM, the company was in a state of turmoil.
It was said that President Qin was holding his first statistical meeting at the company. He had arrived and was listening to a report in the main assembly room. The meeting will be held half an hour later.
Qin Group had always focused on investing in the country, so it was rare for them to buy large-scale companies directly. The result of this was that Qin Group will most likely change this company completely in a fixed mode, not only will it use a lot of energy and resources, but it will also not pose a danger to Qin Group at all. However, such an almost shocking method was still unacceptable for those workers for a while.
More than ten minutes later, the secretary of the editor, Xiao Wang, who was outside the chief editor's office, came out to announce important news. "President Qin is going to remove chief editor Zhang and let the head of Qin Group's PR and media department take over. Haha, chief editor Zhang's old face almost exploded!"
"Serves him right. Who told him to bring his girlfriend into the company? In just a few days, he sent that girl to be the head of the editorial department. Seeing the two of them kiss in the office all day was disgusting!"
"Aiya, aside from his occasional bad style, our Chief Editor Zhang is pretty good. President Qin is being too ruthless, but President Qin is so handsome. If he is willing to sit in the chief editor's office, I would still be happy to see him. Who wouldn't want someone in charge of the media department like him? If President Qin were to take over directly, how nice would that be?! Looking at him every day would also be a feast in the eyes."
Jiang Ruolan's eyelids twitched a few times as she heard the whispers behind her ears.
*****
At 10: 30 PM, in the meeting room of the company.
Jiang Ruolan, along with the other six Reporting Department editors and the various department heads were sitting in the meeting room, waiting for President Qin to arrive. Everyone looked at each other in dismay, each of them was worried.
The door of the meeting being pushed open. Qin Gengxin wore a tailored dark brown suit, with a matching shirt, and no tie. His neat short hair was slightly combed in the back, and there was a touch of ruthlessness and grimness in his demeanor. Everyone was looking at him warily.
He looked so formal that even Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but sit up straight with a solemn expression.
"This is information on why I transferred Chief Editor Zhang from before. In my hands also have a detailed list of the Reporting Department and their supporting information." Qin Gengxin only looked at them for a moment. His gaze did not linger on anyone more than a moment. He walked to the front of the table, put the blue folder in his hand and proceeded to the main topic.
