A pond full of blooming flowers, an ultimate addiction.

After Cui Xiuling and Jiang Yi finished their conversation, Cui Xiuling returned to her ward. Grandpa Jiang also woke up. Seeing Cui Xiuling's red eyes, he understood that the mother and daughter had already talked. He didn't ask any questions; sometimes it's best to play dumb.

"Dad, I just cooked you a bowl of millet porridge. I'll give you a bowl to try. Xiao Yi said you haven't eaten much."

Cui Xiuling opened another insulated box, along with some side dishes, which was more appetizing than the watery porridge she had in the morning.

"it is good."

After another nap, Grandpa Jiang was noticeably more energetic than in the morning. He hadn't eaten much to begin with, so he was indeed a bit hungry.

"You can all go back now. Just have them deliver your meals. I'm fine, so don't worry about me."

Grandpa Jiang was understanding and told them to go back; he understood their filial piety.

"It's alright, Dad."

Cui Xiuling had nothing to say to the old man. She accompanied him throughout his hospital check-ups without ever showing any impatience.

"Xiao Yi, you should go back. It's a rare opportunity to come back to China, why don't you go and have some fun?"

Grandpa Jiang finished his bowl of porridge, put it down with satisfaction, and Cui Xiuling took it, smiling at Jiang Yi as well.

"I'm staying with Grandpa."

Jiang Yi immediately sat on the sofa, obediently straightening her back.

"Go away, don't get in my way."

Seeing that her grandfather was inexplicably disliking her, Jiang Yi seemed to understand. She was leaving tomorrow and needed to say goodbye to someone.

"Xiao Yi, listen to Grandpa, I'm here for you." Cui Xiuling instantly understood what the old man meant.

After giving her grandfather a grateful look, Jiang left the hospital. Her grandfather felt he was recovering very well and told her not to come that evening either.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang hailed a taxi and said without hesitation, "To Chengqing Building."

"it is good."

The driver started the engine and drove off with practiced ease. Jiang Yi opened the car window, letting the wind caress her cheeks, her hair fluttering in the breeze.

"We've arrived." The driver parked the car at the bus stop in front of the company, said "thank you," and jogged to the main gate.

Jiang Yi had come with Chi Ruiche before and had no trouble getting around, taking a special elevator directly to the top floor. This time, the receptionist seemed to be a different person than before, and she called out to him directly.

"Are you here for an interview? Please register here."

The receptionist frowned when she saw Jiang Yi wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, a style that was already outdated. She thought to herself, "This person is dressed far too casually for the interview."

Jiang Yi was stopped by them. She had originally wanted to sneak in and scare Chi Ruiche. Now she couldn't even get through the door.

"Excuse me, I'm not here for an interview."

"Then who are you?"

Although the receptionist thought Jiang Yi's clothes were unfashionable, she was surprised to see that his shoes were a limited edition, so she didn't dare to be negligent.

"I'm here to see your President Chi Ruiche," Jiang said bluntly.

"Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked professionally.

"No."

"I'm sorry, we can't let you in without an appointment."

The receptionist refused Jiang Yi's request, explaining that President Chi's time was precious and that letting in unauthorized people could cost them their jobs.

Jiang Yi didn't say anything more, thinking of trying her luck, but it still didn't work, so she had no choice but to send a message to Che.

"Che, are you at the company?"

"exist."

"I'm at your company's front desk."

Chi Ruiche looked at the seven words displayed on his phone screen. His tightly furrowed brows, which had been furrowed as he listened to the executives' report on the season's sales, relaxed. He whispered a few words to Lin Kai, who immediately went out.

The supervisor, who was giving the report, seemed to see a slight upturn at the corner of Chi Ruiche's mouth. Was it just his imagination due to nervousness?

"continue."

Chi Ruiche's voice rang out, still as cold and aloof as ever. The supervisor was certain it was just his imagination, so he cleared his throat and continued.

Lin Kai rushed downstairs and saw Jiang Yi sitting at the front desk, her fingertips rubbing a mineral water bottle. This must be the person that President Chi sent to pick him up.

Lin Kai sized him up discreetly. He was young, with fair skin and neat short hair.

Those eyes sparkled like stars, giving him the feeling of a lotus emerging from water. He felt that the word "clean" would be a more accurate description.

"Hello, is this Ms. Jiang Yi? President Chi is in a meeting and asked me to pick you up."

Assistant Lin, unaware of the relationship between this person and Chi Ruiche, bowed his head respectfully.

"Okay, thank you for the water."

Jiang Yi knew this person must be Chi Ruiche's assistant, so he thanked the receptionist and followed her.

The receptionist's eyes widened instantly. That was Assistant Lin, who had been following behind President Chi. Usually, those who were responsible for receiving guests were financial tycoons.

Who was that important person just now? He's not very old, so Assistant Lin had to personally greet him.

The receptionist posted in the company gossip group: "A very beautiful girl came to the company today, and Assistant Lin personally greeted her."

"Pretty girl?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the gossip group among the female colleagues in the company exploded.

"Which aristocratic young lady?"

However, her clothes were quite ordinary.

"Today is the mid-year meeting, and Assistant Lin should be in a meeting. The meeting was suspended so that he could come down to pick me up."

"Does anyone have inside information? I really want to know who this is." Messages were flying around in the group, everyone hoping someone could offer some guidance.

"this one?"

The secretary on the top floor posted a photo, taken from a hidden angle, showing only her profile.

"Ahhhhh, that's it."

The receptionist stood up excitedly, not caring about her image, and had to scream.

“Sister Suli, you have inside information.”

The women in the group immediately became active, all waiting for Suli's reply.

After watching Jiang Yi being arranged into Chi Ruiche's office, Su Li on the other end of the phone started typing on the keyboard again.

"This is the third time I've seen it."
