Dominant CEO: Love Too Late

Chapter 51 – Gift to the finance department Jiang Ci

On Monday, Jiang Ci got out of Lu Yudong's car at the entrance of New East Group.

She ran into Han Lan in the company lobby.

"You're all smiles today, looking so radiant. Had a good time last night?" Han Lan teased Jiang Ci.

"Don't talk nonsense," Jiang Ci replied, glancing back. Lu Yudong was parking the car and hadn't come in with her.

Whenever Jiang Ci couldn't see Lu Yudong, she felt a sense of emptiness.

She knew this marriage had an expiration date, so she might as well enjoy the present.

After a busy morning, Jiang Ci stretched and was about to go for lunch when she heard some rustling at the door.

Several people entered the office, pushing carts filled with beautifully packaged gift bags.

"Everyone's been working hard. Miss Yin is treating everyone," the staff announced.

Jiang Ci's hand was still in mid-stretch as she thought, Miss Yin? Yin Xuemo?

Everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci thought, Why are they all looking at me just because Yin Xuemo sent these?

When the gift bag reached Jiang Ci, she took out a portion of bibimbap. The dish was exquisite, with various mushrooms, seasonal fruits and vegetables, half a sliced egg, and yogurt—all included.

"Miss Yin is so generous."

"Yeah, she seems to be treating the whole company. That must cost a fortune; there are thousands of people in this building."

"Must be tens of thousands. What's on this bag?"

It seemed like these people were deliberately praising Yin Xuemo to provoke Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci glanced at the bag, which read "Dear Dr. Luo" and featured a large promotional image with Yin Xuemo prominently in the center, her lips a striking red, looking alluring.

So it was to promote her new drama, probably the one filmed at her mother's hospital.

Since Jiang Ci didn't eat egg yolks, she picked it out to throw it away. Although she felt it was wasteful, she couldn't find anyone who wanted it.

Just as she tossed the yolk into the trash, she heard someone nearby say, "The real competition has begun."

Jiang Ci was momentarily taken aback, then understood: they thought she threw the yolk away as a challenge to Yin Xuemo.

Jiang Ci didn't dwell on it and started eating heartily; she disliked such gossip.

...

Yin Xuemo went to Lu Yudong's office.

Earlier, the staff had also delivered a meal to Lu Yudong, but his was more luxurious, an upgraded version of what the regular employees received.

"My new workplace drama, Yudong, help me promote it," Yin Xuemo said with a smile.

"I'm neither a PR company nor a marketing department. What you're doing will have minimal effect," Lu Yudong replied bluntly.

Yin Xuemo said, "I'm just doing my part. Is it good?"

"I've already ordered my meal and am eating it," Lu Yudong said. "Your effort is wasted. The show looks good. Where was it filmed?"

Lu Yudong asked casually and then called his secretary to send his meal to Jiang Ci in the finance department.

Yin Xuemo bit her lip tightly; Lu Yudong was deliberately embarrassing her.

The secretary came and took the meal away.

"At Jiangzhou First People's Hospital," Yin Xuemo said, watching as the secretary delivered her carefully prepared meal to the finance department.

Lu Yudong frowned slightly, "Oh? Really?"

"Oh, by the way, I saw Jiang Ci at the hospital on Saturday," Yin Xuemo said. "She seemed to be chatting with a man outside for quite a while."

"It was her brother."

"Does she have two brothers?" Yin Xuemo seemed to have a sudden realization. "I see, if it was her brother, then it's not surprising he was holding her hand. I was just about to tell you to keep an eye on your little wife."

Lu Yudong's face darkened.

Jiang Ci hadn't mentioned anything about her time at the hospital, only thanked him for arranging a caregiver for her mother and willingly went to his bed.

The two men were likely Jiang Yi and Chu Shuo. Jiang Yi was the Chu family's driver, so it wasn't surprising he was with Chu Shuo.

Lu Yudong guessed that Jiang Yi, having failed to get a favorable outcome from him, wanted to introduce Jiang Ci to Chu Shuo.

"Oh, Yudong, I have to go now. I have an appointment this afternoon. You didn't like the meal I ordered for you, so it was a waste of my effort."

With that, Yin Xuemo left.
