Do You Want to Marry Me?

Chapter 14

Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were in high spirits, Jiang Qingchi held Jin Nian’s hand and went into the elevator first: “Our relatives are all up there. Let’s go over first.” Jiang Qingchi was a meticulous person. He knew that Tan Siyun did not like his family very much. Although he had been working hard to get used to it over the years, he still felt that something was missing. Jin Nian wanted to wait for her parents to go up together, mainly because she was afraid that her mother would pick a fight with Jiang Qingchi again. However, seeing that she was smiling happily after being coaxed by Lu An, she gave up. In the elevator, Jiang Qingchi sighed with emotion. “Wanhe Huayuan is indeed grand and high-end. No wonder Auntie insisted on entertaining guests here.”

Jin Nian frowned, “My mother isn’t making things difficult for you. She said a long time ago that she would hold my engagement party here.”

“I know.” Jiang Qingchi smiled. “Didn’t you say that the owner of Wanhe Huayuan knows your family? Then this person should have quite a background.”

Jin Nian pursed her lips. Lu An’s family was indeed very influential. Their businesses were spread all over the country. Jiang Qingchi looked at the elevator, his eyes full of inquiry, “This hotel costs more than a billion yuan, right? Business hasn’t been good these few years. Can they make a profit?” Jin Nian did not know that this was something that a 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM worker like her should be concerned about.

As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she received a call. It was a call from a colleague. Jin Nian worked for a media company and was engaged in behind-the-scenes planning. During this period of time, she had taken annual leave. If it was not for something very important, her colleagues would not call her at this time.

After the call went through, the colleague went straight to the point and informed Jin Nian that the topic about food safety that they had done some time ago had been rejected by the boss. Jin Nian took the phone to the stairs and took a deep breath. “All the copywriting for the video has been settled. Now, all that’s left is the editing. If he said that he can’t do it, why did he not say so earlier?”

Her colleague Hou Jun sighed, “I told him that too. Boss’s meaning is that the market is not good now. We shouldn’t stand out.”

“I’ll call him.” After Jin Nian hung up the phone, she called her superior, Lin Qianyu. She was much stronger at work than in life, and even Lin Qianyu was afraid of her.

The other end picked up very quickly. Jin Nian’s tone was slightly heavy. “The market is always bad. When do you think the market will get better? I talked to you about this topic before we did it. You said that there was no problem, so we did it. Now that everything is almost ready, you’re going back on your word. It’s fine if it’s a waste of everyone’s time. I just want to know what the reason is for killing this topic.”

Lin Qianyu was much calmer. He comforted Jin Nian not to be angry and to talk things over if there were any problems, “If an account with millions of fans is banned, who can bear the responsibility?”

“The content of the video did not violate any rules, did it?” Jin Nian asked directly.

“Too sharp.”

“Call me surprised. If I’m not sharp, then what’s the point? Then how can a blockhead like you understand?”

“Jin Nian! Are you rebelling? I’m your boss!”

“Okay, boss, you can do the next topic yourself. Don’t look for me. You can fire me anytime.”

“Jin Nian, Sister Nian, President Nian!” Lin Qianyu grinned. “Don’t be so angry. You should focus on the engagement banquet first. Let’s put aside the topic selection for now and discuss it when you come back to work, okay?” Jin Nian reluctantly agreed. Although Lin Qianyu was Jin Nian’s leader, the age difference between the two was less than a year. Most of the people who worked in the internet were young, and there were very few people above the age of 35.

After hanging up the phone, Jin Nian turned around and saw Jiang Qingchi’s mother standing behind her, staring at her. She did not know what she meant. Zou Lanhua was rather tall, so Jin Nian had to wear high heels to be on par with her. She had a voluptuous figure. After a little tidying up, she looked like a charming woman. However, Tan Siyun always said that Zou Lanhua was like a nouveau riche. They did not have the same views and could not even talk. “Auntie, you’re here.” Jin Nian smiled at her.

Zou Lanhua chuckled. ” Today’s the engagement party. Why aren’t you changing your way of addressing me?”

Jin Nian was like two different people when it came to life and work. Jin Nian could argue with her superior for the sake of her work. As long as she thought it was right, she would never compromise. However, when facing relatives and elders who like to gossip, she would always be very reserved. Her face had already turned red to the roots of her ears. She called out softly, “Mom.” Actually, she was not ready to call anyone else ‘Mom’ other than her own mother. It was very awkward for her to call her that.

Zou Lanhua smiled and held Jin Nian’s hand. “Trouble at work? You seemed quite angry just now.”

“Just a little trouble, it’s nothing.”
