The Secret Realm of Time, His and Her Life Through the Changes

Chapter 264 Pamper Your Own Wife

Shang Yibo watched Yan Haochen, who was giving a long and detailed report on his work. Since Yan Haochen was promoted to Director of Investment Department II, his enthusiasm for work had been soaring, and he was constantly chasing after Shang Yibo to report and discuss business. He glanced at the time displayed on his computer; it was already 7:02 PM. He estimated that Chu Fanqing's plane would arrive at 5 PM sharp, and since Zimo Garden wasn't far from the airport, Chu Fanqing should already be home by now. However, the drive from Rushang Group to Zimo Garden, even at the fastest pace, would take more than an hour. Today was the weekend, and there was likely to be traffic. Although he didn't want to interrupt Yan Haochen, Shang Yibo still had to, because he needed to get back to Zimo Garden.

When Shang Yibo arrived at the lobby on the first floor, Zhang Xinyi had already prepared the car and was waiting under the canopy.

Upon seeing the boss arrive, he quickly opened the back door and placed his hand above the car frame. "President Shang, should we go pick up President Zhou or go straight back to Zi Mo Garden?"

Shang Yibo strode into the car and replied, "Go straight to Zi Mo Garden."

As expected, there were one congested section after another on the road.

Shang Yibo took out his phone and opened his WeChat chat with Zhou Yanruo. The last message he sent was at around 2 PM, and it was already past 7 PM, but Zhou Yanruo still hadn't replied.

"They must still be rehearsing. Tomorrow night is the final, and it's being broadcast live, so there's no room for error. It looks like tonight will be another intense rehearsal; I wonder when it will end." Shang Yibo thought to himself, feeling a pang of sympathy for Zhou Yanruo. "If I had known it would be this tough, I shouldn't have let her participate in that variety show or talent competition."

Shang Yibo's phone beeped with a notification of a message. He checked it and saw that it was from Fang Xichen: "Where are you? Your dad is already home."

Shang Yibo replied: "I just set off. There's a bit of traffic on the road. It will probably take another hour."

"Okay, I'll have the kitchen prepare dinner."

Just as Shang Yibo was about to hang up, the notification sound for a message rang again. This time, Zhou Yanruo finally replied to his message, "The rehearsal isn't over yet, so I can't go to Zimo Garden with you tonight."

Shang Yibo replied: "Rehearsals are physically demanding. Aunt Yan made some soup, and I asked Chef Zhang to send it to you. He has already set off from Zi Mo Yuan and should be arriving soon. Remember to drink it."

He sent the message and stared at his phone screen, waiting for a reply. However, he didn't receive a single word until the screen went black.

He could only send a message to Ding Jiajia: "Old Zhang sent soup for two people. He told Yanruo to drink it together. Take good care of her, and so do you."

After the variety show Zhou Yanruo participated in aired, she unexpectedly became a sensation. Faced with the complex environment of the entertainment industry, she urgently needed a trustworthy and professional agent by her side.

So, under Hong Yun's arrangement, Ding Jiajia, five months pregnant, became Zhou Yanruo's agent.

Since everyone was an old acquaintance, it saved Zhou Yanruo the time of getting to know each other and adjusting to each other, and she gladly accepted.

Shang Yibo was worried: Ding Jiajia was a pregnant woman who needed to be taken care of. Could she take good care of Zhou Yanruo when she was too busy to take care of herself?

Ding Jiajia, on the other hand, was full of confidence, patting her chest and guaranteeing: she could definitely take good care of Yan Ruo. Besides, she was capable of providing the professional help Yan Ruo needed right now, after all, she was a professional who had worked with top-tier teams. Moreover, where could one find a trustworthy and professional agent at this time? Ding Jiajia was the most suitable candidate.

In order to dispel Shang Yibo's concerns, Ding Jiajia went so far as to encourage Jian Zheng to persuade Shang Yibo.

Jian Zheng couldn't persuade his wife, so he had to call Shang Yibo and say, "My wife is your girlfriend's manager, what's wrong with that? If she didn't really like this job, I wouldn't be willing to let her go. I support whatever my wife wants to do, so don't be so smug."

This made Shang Yibo feel like he owed the couple something, leaving him both amused and exasperated, and he had no choice but to agree.

Ding Jiajia replied instantly, "The soup has arrived. It's a huge portion, enough for four people. Sister Yanruo can't eat too much tonight. I'll take care of it."

Shang Yibo: "You want her to eat more. She already has a lot of energy to burn, and you're still controlling her food intake. You're inhuman."

Ding Jiajia: "Sister Yanruo needs to maintain her figure; eating too much will make her gain weight. I will arrange her diet reasonably to ensure she gets enough nutrition and energy without accumulating too much fat. Please don't doubt my professionalism, President Shang."

Since becoming a manager, Ding Jiajia has completely lost the good temper she had when she was a junior assistant, always bowing and scraping to everyone.

She manages Zhou Yanruo strictly because she is responsible for her, and often jokes: "Investing in her is a sure thing, you will definitely witness firsthand how a big star shines."

Shang Yibo knew he was in the wrong, but he still tried to argue his point, saying, "I will tell Jian Zheng that he married a wicked woman."

"Whatever," Ding Jiajia replied, and hung up the phone.

Shang Yibo shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, "It serves Jian Zheng right that he's being manipulated by Ding Jiajia." Then he thought, "Jian Zheng dotes on Ding Jiajia, but isn't he also worried about Zhou Yanruo? Isn't he just spoiling his own wife?"

He put away his phone, leaned back in his seat, and slowly closed his eyes.

Thinking about the three months, a full hundred days, he realized that tomorrow would be the final of "Sisters Gone Wild." The image of Zhou Yanruo giving her all for her dream flashed before his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel both admiration and heartache.

In my mind, Zhou Yanruo's delicate face gradually became clear. The gentle grace of her long, flowing hair and the liveliness of her short, ear-length hair alternated in her bright smile, eventually merging into her current appearance: her pointed chin made her look even more refined, and her large eyes remained as clear as water...

Zhang Xinyi noticed from the rearview mirror that the boss was resting with his eyes closed, so she thoughtfully turned down the air conditioning and changed the airflow from direct blowing to a surround mode.

This morning, they finally reached an agreement with Boya Bank and successfully extended the loan contract. The relevant procedures and processes are also being expedited. Although the Yuehai Medical Pilot Zone project was reclaimed by the province, Rushang Group's initial investment in the project has been audited and is expected to be returned next month. Coupled with the successful completion of the Bangkok project, months of effort have finally yielded significant results, bringing a turning point for Rushang Group and a sigh of relief to its management team.

Shang Yibo's young and handsome face now showed a hint of determination, and Zhang Xinyi sincerely admired this promising young boss.

Gazing at the dazzling neon lights on the road, Zhang Xinyi slowly lowered the curtains on the rear window and raised the partition between the driver's cabin and the passenger compartment, so that his boss could take a good rest during the hour-long drive.
