The Official Ladder: I ascend to the pinnacle of power, wielding the power of life and death.

"fine."

After helping Xia Shining onto the bed, Jiang Yiming took off his shirt and threw it into the bathroom. Then he took a wet towel and came over to wipe the filth off the bed and Xia Shining's body.

At this moment, Xia Shining propped herself up, wanting to get up and do it herself.

"Shi Ning, lie down quickly."

Jiang Yiming hurriedly pressed Xia Shining down onto the bed.

"But, but it's too dirty, I want to clean it myself."

"It's okay, I'll clean it up."

"No, it's so dirty, how can I let you clean it?"

Xia Shining stubbornly tried to get up.

"You just rest well, don't worry about anything else!"

Jiang Yiming forcefully pinned Xia Shining to the bed: "If you don't behave, I'll spank you!"

This was a little playful thing he shared with his wife in his past life, but he accidentally blurted it out.

“You’re just like Qianqian, stubborn by nature. She’s disobedient at home, and I don’t hold back either; I spank her.”

Jiang Yiming quickly came up with an explanation.

He then began to wipe it carefully, without showing the slightest sign of disgust.

Xia Shining blinked her bright eyes as she watched Jiang Yiming's muscular body as he continuously wiped the filth off the bed and floor, a strange feeling spreading through her heart.

After cleaning up the filth in other places, Jiang Yiming looked at the filth on Xia Shining's collar and asked, "Sleeping in dirty clothes must be uncomfortable. I'll help you sit up, then close your eyes and unbutton your clothes yourself. I'll then help you take them off."

Xia Shining nodded slightly.

Jiang Yiming helped Xia Shining sit up and then closed his eyes.

"Brother Jiang, I've untied it, can you help me pull it?"

Xia Shining said in a trembling voice.

Although she had feelings for Jiang Yiming, she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Being alone with him in a room, and having to take off her outer clothes, she felt both nervous and a little uneasy.

If Jiang Yiming loses control and attacks her, she will be powerless to resist.

Fortunately, it was all just wishful thinking. Jiang Yiming obediently closed his eyes and helped her take off her shirt. Then he gently placed her on the bed and opened his eyes after she covered herself with the blanket.

"This bed is dirty, let me carry you to another bed."

Jiang Yiming placed Xia Shining, along with the blanket, on another bed. Then, he took their dirty clothes, washed them, and hung them out to dry.

After finishing all this, Jiang Yiming returned to the room, where Xia Shining was already asleep.

Jiang Yiming sat in the chair, looking at Xia Shining's sleeping face, feeling very peaceful and content.

In the middle of the night, Xia Shining woke up and saw Jiang Yiming sitting in a chair. She said, "Brother Jiang, why are you sitting in the chair instead of sleeping?"

"Oh, it's okay, I'm not sleepy."

Jiang Yiming brought Xia Shining a cup of warm water, helped her drink it, and said softly, "Go back to sleep. If you get some rest, your head won't hurt tomorrow."

"Brother Jiang, you should rest too."

Xia Shining glanced at the bed next to her and then remembered that the bed was dirty.

She hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Brother Jiang, why don't you lie down next to me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her face turned red instantly, and she felt incredibly regretful. Why did she have to say that?

"Well, what I mean is, you can lie down next to me fully clothed and squeeze in. You have to work tomorrow, and you definitely can't stand sitting all night."

"it is good."

Jiang Yiming didn't act coy. In their previous life, the two slept together every day, so he didn't feel any psychological burden when sleeping together.

However, he didn't overstep his bounds. After lying down next to Xia Shining, he closed his eyes and started to sleep.

It was past 2 a.m., and after all the commotion, he was already quite sleepy.

As for having a beautiful woman beside him, knowing he couldn't move, he naturally gave up any other thoughts and fell asleep quickly.

However, he insisted on staying up a little longer until Xia Shining fell asleep before he went to sleep himself.

He couldn't go to sleep first, otherwise Xia Shining might mistakenly think that he wasn't interested in her.

Although Xia Shining invited Jiang Yiming to lie down next to her, she was still very nervous and uneasy.

After waiting for a while and seeing that Jiang Yiming really didn't overstep his bounds, she slowly fell asleep.

The next morning, Xia Shining woke up.

Seeing that Jiang Yiming was staring at her, she blushed slightly.

"You're awake. I bought some eight-treasure porridge, it's light and good for your stomach, have some."

Jiang Yiming stood up and brought over the porridge.

"Thank you, Brother Jiang."

Xia Shining was surprised that Jiang Yiming was so thoughtful, knowing that people who are not feeling well cannot eat greasy food.

After finishing breakfast, Xia Shining said, "Brother Jiang, let's go, don't let us delay your work."

"It's okay, I'll go take care of my work first, you should rest more."

Jiang Yiming said, "I booked a room for three days, so you can stay here for the next few days."

"Oh, no need, it's too expensive here. The little hotel I stayed in before was quite nice."

"It's not very safe over there, and the conditions aren't good."

“Brother Jiang, I know what you’re saying, but everyone’s situation is different. My parents work hard to earn money, and I don’t want to add to their burden.”

Xia Shining wasn't ashamed; she smiled naturally and said, "Once I can earn my own money in the future, I'll improve my family's life. Now is not the time for me to enjoy myself."

"Looks like I need to find a way to help my parents-in-law earn some money."

Jiang Yiming knew that persuasion was useless. Xia Shining was the kind of girl who would be thrifty and would not indulge in excessive consumption to satisfy her own desires for enjoyment because of vanity.

But if the overall conditions of her home are improved, all these problems will be solved.

"The room is booked, so you can stay here."

Jiang Yiming said, "We'll talk about the rest later."

"OK then."

Xia Shining said, "Brother Jiang, you should go ahead and do your work. Thank you for taking care of me. Although there was a little hiccup yesterday, I had a lot of fun yesterday."

After what happened yesterday, their relationship improved.

"Me too."

Jiang Yiming smiled and said, "I heard from my dad that you are very serious about your work and that he really agrees with the plan you provided. He explained the content to me, and I think it's very good overall, but some parts can be optimized."

"For example, food and dishes should be placed in the last area to avoid inconvenience for customers when they buy dishes first and then other items. We should reduce the trouble for customers when purchasing items."

Xia Shining's eyes lit up, and she smiled, "The point you made is very important. I hadn't even thought of that aspect. Brother Jiang, you're amazing. It seems like there's nothing you can't do."

"Then I'll contact you once I've finalized the plan, and you can review it first, okay?"

"No problem, not just about plans, but anything else, even trivial matters in life, you can ask me or share with me."

Jiang Yiming took out a pink Nokia phone and handed it over, saying, "You need a phone to facilitate communication about the plan; otherwise, it will be too inconvenient."

"Ah, this is too precious."

Xia Shining waved her hands repeatedly.
