Chapter 973 - 971: That Person Must Be You
Comrade Da Bao spent the entire morning explaining everything about himself to his future wife.Of course, everything he mentioned was nothing more than his roles apart from working at the Ji Family. He also has various investments and assets.
Initially, Nuonuo truly felt sleepy, but as she listened more, she found it increasingly unbelievable.
Her own brother turned out to be a major shareholder of a sizable investment company abroad.
Upon further inquiry, she learned that the investment company was established by Ji Dabao along with two other classmates during their time studying abroad, and after more than ten years of operation, it had grown immensely.
"Brother, how should others address me in the future?"
After Nuonuo and Da Bao’s relationship status was made public online, several employees she met at Xinying jokingly called her Miss Ji.
Da Bao gently touched her cheek, "You are Si Han, the Golden Melody Award winner Si Han, the Best Singer Si Han, the Best Actress Si Han."
Nuonuo’s question was somewhat silly, and upon hearing Da Bao’s response, she couldn’t help but tear up.
"Mm..." She sniffed hard, "I am Si Han!"
Yes, since the day she awakened, she had resolved not to be anyone’s dependent. She wanted to be like her mother— a woman with her own career, who could shine independently without relying on anyone!
"That’s right, you are Si Han, I am Ji Yu, and our union will be a powerful alliance!"
...
After Da Bao finally clarified all his assets, it was time for dinner.
"Let’s go, I’ve asked Si Jun to arrange for you, the boss lady, to treat all the employees at Xinying to dinner today."
Si Jun was diligent; aside from those shooting outdoors or scheduled elsewhere, including Tian Fang who was still in her maternity leave, all hundred-plus people from Xinying were present.
Among these hundred-plus people, Nuonuo knew roughly half. This wasn’t her fault; due to the unique nature of the entertainment company, artists don’t need to report to the company daily, and meeting once a year could be considered a miracle.
Si Jun reserved a large hall at a farm near Xinying; at the table, artists and staff took turns offering toasts, making introductions before the boss and boss lady.
While others toasted with alcohol, Ji Yu and Si Han replaced alcohol with water, responding to each toast.
It was a lively meal lasting nearly two hours, and just as it was about to end, Si Jun took his bag and opened it. Nuonuo’s keen eyes spotted it full of bright red envelopes.
Nuonuo glanced at Da Bao in confusion, who smiled at her, "Let’s treat this meal as a New Year’s dinner. I’ve asked Si Jun to prepare big red envelopes in advance, and we’ll distribute them while everyone’s happy."
Nuonuo asked him in a low voice, "All the same?"
Da Bao shook his head, "Of course not, you’ll know once you see them."
While Da Bao and Nuonuo were chatting, Si Jun took out two red envelopes and handed them to Da Bao, "Young Master Yu, yours and Si Han’s, you two give them to each other."
Da Bao smiled and accepted the envelopes, glanced at them, placed one on the table, and then slipped the other into Si Han’s hand.
"Is this mine?"
Si Han was a bit surprised. In previous years, the company also distributed red envelopes, but they were directly deposited into the account—simple and convenient, yet lacking the excitement of receiving a red envelope.
"Mm, open it and see!"
Nuonuo obediently opened the red envelope and pulled out a check, with an amount of 6.88 million.
"Wow, what a generous bonus! Thank you, boss, thank you!" Nuonuo chuckled, nodding and bowing to Da Bao as she laughed.
Da Bao: "..."
Once Nuonuo finished her act, Da Bao gestured at the envelope on the table, "Now, it’s your turn to give it to me!"
Nuonuo laughed again, but she knew, business people cared about auspices, so even though she couldn’t help laughing, she obediently reached for the envelope on the table and handed it to Da Bao.
Da Bao accepted it sincerely, mimicking Nuonuo’s earlier action, he bowed and said "Thank you, boss lady! Thank you!"
Then he kept the envelope directly in his bag without even glancing at it.
Nuonuo got curious, "Hey, how much bonus did you give yourself? Could it be tens of millions?"
Da Bao was too lazy to respond, sipping his tea.
Nuonuo wouldn’t give up and leaned over, "It can’t really be tens of millions, right? Hey, Xinying is still in its development stage, money should be spent wisely!"
Of course, Nuonuo’s words were just meant to tease Da Bao.
Unfortunately, her intelligence and tactics were always subpar compared to Da Bao, so he didn’t react to whatever she said, sipping his tea leisurely.
Finally, Si Jun couldn’t help but say, "Si Han, of all the company’s bonuses, yours is the highest because you’ve had the best accomplishments this year!"
It seemed that the large amount wasn’t because she was the boss lady, but because she deserved it!
Understanding this, Nuonuo no longer teased Da Bao and simply drank her water calmly, just like him.
As she drank, she observed the reactions of the surrounding employees after receiving their red envelopes.
In the end, nearly everyone had a beaming smile, showing that Da Bao was indeed a popular boss!
Nuonuo gradually felt a sense of smugness, thinking that she really found herself a capable and talented husband. The company ran smoothly without needing her extensive involvement.
In Da Bao’s words, they each played to their strengths—he excelled in management, so he managed the company, while she was good at acting and singing, so she continued being Xinying’s best living advertisement.
During this New Year’s dinner, both Nuonuo and Da Bao were extremely happy and satisfied.
After the meal, some employees returned to work, while others went directly to their schedule sites.
Nuonuo and Da Bao headed straight to the civil affairs bureau.
"Brother, why didn’t we go to the civil affairs bureau for registration when we went out in the morning? It should be less crowded in the morning."
The civil affairs bureau was a few streets away from the Ji Family. Even if there was no traffic, it would take over an hour to drive from Xinying. It was currently past two, so they would arrive by four at the earliest.
"Nuonuo, since we’ve decided to spend a lifetime together, we should be honest with each other in the future. I don’t want to register with you carrying so many secrets."
Nuonuo finally understood why he insisted on pouring out all those things in one morning; it was for this reason, indeed.
"Brother, if there’s only one trustworthy person left in this world, it must be you. So I didn’t find it an issue that you hadn’t told me those before; you were surely worried that I’d overthink and stress, so you kept it from me."
Da Bao was taken aback; it seemed her understanding and trust in him exceeded his expectations.
