"Chen Yanbei, are you a dog? How can you ask me to take the exam like this?"
"Let me take a look." Chen Yanbei leaned over and hugged her intimately from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, and his hot breath sprayed on the shell of her ear.
Jiang Yao snorted tenderly, turned her face to the side and looked at the mirror in front of her.
In the mirror, she was wearing a sexy and close-fitting nightgown with a low-cut suspender design. Her plumpness was ready to come out. Her back was almost hollow and the length could only cover her thighs. The exposed skin was covered with all kinds of ambiguous red marks. , one look shows how much fun the two had at night.
Chen Yanbei contracted his long arms and hugged the person in his arms tighter. He stared at the mirror and gently touched the marks with his well-jointed fingers. His low voice was a bit hoarse: "Honey, I'm going to get the ointment." Can I apply it to you?"
Without waiting for Jiang Yao to answer, he had already turned around to look for the medicine box in the cupboard, and soon sat down by the bed with something in his hand.
"Come here." He unscrewed the lid of the ointment, squeezed the ointment onto a small and round jade handle, and motioned to Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao walked slowly to the bed. There was still a little pain between her legs and her walking posture was unnatural.
She loves to be clean, and when she thought of those sticky ointments that would be applied all over her body, she immediately felt a little conflicted: "How about I wear a diving suit to take the exam and cover it from head to toe? This shouldn't affect it, right?"
"Lie down here." Chen Yanbei didn't give her a chance to flinch, and put his free hand around her waist.
Jiang Yao had no choice but to lie down obediently.
After she lay down, Chen Yanbei stood up. He stood beside the bed, leaning over as if a doctor was checking the patient's body. He held the ointment-stained jade piece with his fingers, and his black eyes slanted towards her calmly: "Take it off."
ah?
Jiang Yao was a little confused. Wasn't it the exposed skin? What to take off?
Chen Yanbei explained in a low voice: "This medicine is applied inside."
He couldn't control it last night and his movements were a bit heavy. When he saw Jiang Yao walking unnaturally in the morning, he thought that he had medicine at home to reduce swelling.
Mr. Chen believes in Chinese medicine, and the Chen family's family doctor is also equipped with a Chinese medicine doctor. Moreover, this Chinese medicine doctor is quite well-established. It is said that his ancestors have been imperial doctors in the palace for several generations, and many secret recipes of the palace have been handed down.
This swelling-reducing medicine was specially prepared by the Chinese medicine practitioner. In the past, all the empresses in the palace used this formula.
On the day Jiang Yao came in, the butler Uncle Fu put an extra bottle of this medicine in the medicine box he sent over, and he also thoughtfully provided instructions for using it.
Jiang Yao reacted for a while before she understood what wiping inside meant. Her cheeks instantly turned red and her legs were tightly together.
"Why do you have this medicine?" She had only heard of this kind of thing in ancient Chinese novels, but she didn't expect it to actually exist in modern times.
Chen Yanbei: "This was prepared by the family's personal doctor. He was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine. His great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather were both imperial doctors in the palace, and he also had many secret palace recipes."
Royal physician?
After Jiang Yao was slightly shocked, she could only sigh, it's great to have money, and any doctor in the family has such a background.
But after sighing, she suddenly wondered: "He still prepares this kind of medicine for your family?"
Chen Yanbei: "The prescriptions are all based on the needs of each room in the family. We are newlyweds, so it is not surprising that we are prescribed this kind of medicine."
He saw that Jiang Yao was a little resistant, and coaxed in a low voice, "Good boy, it won't hurt if you apply this. Otherwise, do you want to go out like this?"
Thinking that she had to go to the newspaper office today, her walking posture was indeed a bit strange. Jiang Yao bit her lip: "Well, can I wipe it off myself?"
Chen Yanbei turned the jade piece in his hand: "Can you see it when you paint it yourself?"
His tone and expression were serious, which made Jiang Yao feel that if she was more coy, she would look pretentious.
Forget it, just apply some medicine. Didn't the two of you play anything yesterday?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao let go.
However, when Chen Yanbei gently turned the jade piece to spread the ointment as evenly as possible, Jiang Yao still let out a soft groan uncontrollably, and asked a little embarrassedly: "How long will it take to apply it?"
"Almost." Chen Yanbei's eyes were deep and his movements were gentler.
Jiang Yao's face turned red and she didn't dare to look down at all. She raised the back of her hand to cover her mouth, trying not to make any sound.
After finally applying the medicine, Jiang Yao quickly got up from the bed.
It had to be said that the effect of the medicine took effect quite quickly. She tried to take a few steps and felt no discomfort at all.
Jiang Yao said in surprise: "Well...Chen Yanbei, this medicine seems to be quite effective."
"Really?" Chen Yanbei raised his eyebrows lightly.
"Yes, I feel much better now." Jiang Yao nodded innocently, completely forgetting who she needed the medicine for.
Of course Chen Yanbei would not remind her.
After moving smoothly, Jiang Yao went to the cloakroom to change clothes and tidy up in the mirror.
She had to go out today. Last time she made an appointment with Editor-in-Chief Cha of Ming Pao to go to the newspaper office to finalize the contract.
After cleaning up, Jiang Yao planned to go out.
Chen Yanbei was also busy in the afternoon and could not accompany her. He said in a deep voice: "Be safe on the road and go home early."
Jiang Yao obediently agreed and waved to the man with a smile: "Honey, bye!"
Ming Pao newspaper office.
Jiang Yao hasn't arrived yet. In the office, Zha Guoli and the lawyer are sitting opposite each other.
The lawyer showed an entrustment document: "Editor-in-Chief Cha, we are entrusted by Mr. Chen Yanbei to come over to confirm the contract that your company and Ms. Jiang are about to sign."
Zha Guoli knew about the relationship between Jiang Yao and Chen Yanbei, so he took out the contract very cooperatively and joked with a smile: "Haha, Mr. Chen is really considerate to his wife and considers everything for her."
The lawyer smiled politely back at him, took the contract, and began to review it carefully.
The other party was looking attentively, and Zha Guoli had nothing to do. He was holding the coffee leisurely, leaning on the back of the leather chair, sipping on it while watching the other party busy.
As he looked at it, he always felt that this lawyer looked familiar, and his mind couldn't help but start recalling the people in the legal profession he had met.
The signing contract for this kind of publication is relatively simple, and the lawyer will check it quickly:
"Editor-in-Chief Cha, I've read the contract, and there's nothing wrong with it. I'll wait for Mrs. Chen to come over later, and I'll watch you sign the contract. However, please Editor-in-Chief Cha not to reveal my identity to Mrs. Chen."
Zha Guoli nodded. But I don’t understand. Since Mr. Chen arranged it, why can’t he reveal it to Mrs. Chen? Doesn’t this mean that Mr. Chen cares about his wife?
As if he could see through his thoughts, Xu Zhengting simply explained: "Mr. Chen hopes to leave some space for Mrs. Chen."
In short, Chen Yanbei respected all Jiang Yao's decisions, but was worried about her, so he sent a lawyer in advance to fill the hole for her.
After Zha Guoli understood this, he felt a little emotional. He didn't expect that the always aloof young master of the Chen family would be so considerate to his wife. He wanted to help, but he didn't want her to feel like she was being watched.
Gee, I really love you deeply.
But thinking of Jiang Yao's face, Zha Guoli felt that everything was very reasonable. No matter how unfeminine a man was, it would be difficult for him to resist such a face.
Zha Guoli's mind turned back and his eyes met the lawyer opposite again. In a flash of lightning, he suddenly remembered the other party's name!
He stood up from the office chair and said excitedly: "Are you Xu Lu? Lawyer Xu Zhengting?!"
The man named Xu Lu nodded lightly and did not deny his identity.
Xu Zhengting, the most feared figure in Hong Kong's legal and financial circles, is extremely good at financial cases and has never failed in his career. The consulting fee is calculated by the minute, up to HK$10,000 per minute.
Just like that, there were still many people queuing up to look for him with their money in hand.
The financial section of Ming Pao wanted to do an exclusive interview with him before, but he visited his door several times but was blocked by his secretary.
Unexpectedly, the most expensive and powerful lawyer in Hong Kong was sitting in his office at this moment. Zha Guoli would not let go of this opportunity.
"Lawyer Xu, I have admired you for a long time. I never thought that a contract like ours could alarm you."
Xu Zhengting replied seriously: "There is no big or small contract, it is the same for us lawyers."
"That's right. There is no doubt about Lawyer Xu's professionalism." Zha Guoli smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. Such a top lawyer was overqualified to review the most basic contract such as a newspaper.
He wanted to chat a few more words, but the office door was pushed open and Jiang Yao walked in.
"Check the editor-in-chief."
Jiang Yao smiled and said hello, and when she saw another man in the office, she nodded towards him.
This was the first time Xu Zhengting saw Mrs. Chen in the entrustment document. Looking at that face, she was slightly surprised.
I somewhat understood why Mr. Chen sent him here to keep an eye on the contract. This man indeed had a face that could easily cause trouble.
He calmly withdrew his gaze, not letting Jiang Yao feel anything unusual.
Editor-in-Chief Zha smiled brighter when he saw Jiang Yao, and stood up to greet her personally, "Come sit on the sofa over here and have some coffee or tea?"
Jiang Yao sat down on the sofa: "Just tea, thank you."
With a smile, Editor-in-Chief Zha went to the tea room to make a cup of black tea and put it on the coffee table in front of Jiang Yao. Then he put the contract reviewed by the lawyer on the coffee table and thoughtfully prepared the pen:
"Ms. Jiang, this is the contract I signed. Please check it again. If there is no problem, just sign it here."
Jiang Yao had read the contract before, and everything was clearly written. She had no questions and signed without hesitation.
After signing, Lawyer Xu next to him completed his task and planned to leave.
Zha Guoli stopped him quickly: "Lawyer Xu, would you be honored to have an exclusive interview with you?"
In front of Jiang Yao, Zha Guoli felt that Lawyer Xu did not look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face.
Xu Zhengting received instructions from Chen Yanbei before he came over and tried his best to cooperate.
Of course, he didn't make it clear what the cooperation was. Now that the other party had spoken, he responded: "Okay, just make an appointment with my secretary."
Xu Zhengting handed Zha Guoli a business card.
"Okay! Then I won't waste Xu Lu's time." After all, for a lawyer of this level, time is more valuable than money. Zha Guoli took the business card with a smile, but he didn't expect this to happen. correct.
After seeing off Lawyer Xu, Zha Guoli looked at Jiang Yao with a smile, as if he were looking at a lucky star.
He had to keep this lucky star close to their newspaper office.
"Oh, by the way, Miss Jiang." Zha Guoli walked to the desk and took out an envelope from the drawer, "This is your manuscript fee. You haven't been paid for the 100,000 words you submitted before, so all future manuscript fees will be as per Monthly."
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Zha." Jiang Yao smiled and took the envelope.
When she walked out of the magazine, she was still a little excited and clicked the money in the envelope, which was a total of 7,000 Hong Kong dollars!
Rich people may look down upon this amount of money, but it is already a month's salary for a white-collar worker in an office building.
And this is the first money Jiang Yao has made by relying on her own strength since arriving in Xiangjiang.
When she thought of this, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
However, this money was also attributed to Chen Yanbei. If Chen Yanbei hadn't stepped in to kick Feng Meilin away from the newspaper, he would not have been able to successfully sign the contract with the newspaper.
Of course, even if Chen Yanbei didn't intervene, she could still deal with Feng Meilin, but the process would be more tortuous.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yao felt a hint of sweetness in her heart.
The two of them have been united physically and mentally in the past two days. It was the time when Mi Li was mixing oil. The first money he earned, how about buying him a gift?
After making up her mind, Jiang Yao decided not to go home yet but to go shopping in the mall.
Passing by a nearby shopping mall, Azhong stopped the car.
Jiang Yao wasn't going shopping today and didn't need help carrying her things, so Ah Zhong was waiting for her in the car.
Jiang Yao had already made up her mind in the car and planned to buy Chen Yanbei a shirt.
Her 7,000 Hong Kong dollars wasn't enough to buy a watch or something else. She could use Chen Yanbei's card, but her mind was different, so in the end she chose a shirt that was more suitable.
After entering the mall, Jiang Yao went straight to the men's clothing floor.
Chen Yanbei's clothes were either from top luxury brands or hand-made to order. Jiang Yao followed her own budget and finally walked into the Ralph Lauren brand store.
This is an American century-old brand, targeting the middle class, and it is considered an affordable luxury brand. The most famous one is their polo, their shirts and hunting jackets are also very good, the styles are classic and versatile.
Seeing Jiang Yao come in, the shopping guide greeted her with a smile: "Miss, what do you want to buy? Is it for your boyfriend?"
Looking at her age, the shopping guide didn't look like she was married. He guessed that she was going to give her a date. Then he recommended some to her: "Miss, you can take a look here. These are our new autumn shirts, which have just been launched." The new model will be launched at the same time as the one in the United States."
Jiang Yao chose a shirt, and soon settled on a pure black twill casual shirt. It was slim-cut, black and low-key, and the price was within Jiang Yao's budget.
"I want this. Please help me get a larger number and just wrap it up. Thank you."
When the shopping guide heard that she asked for it directly, he was immediately happy: "No problem, just wait a moment, I will pack it for you right away."
The shopping guide turned around and went to the store's warehouse to get the goods. Jiang Yao was sitting in the sofa area waiting. Seeing a brand magazine on the coffee table next to her, she picked it up and flipped through it to pass the time.
Just after turning two pages, a sarcastic voice came from the door: "Hey, isn't this the sister-in-law? Isn't it because the eldest brother didn't provide you with household expenses, so you actually buy this kind of brand that only working people buy."
