The Crippled Boss Loves Me

698 An Unreliable Gift

Ji Qian’s thoughts were written all over her face. Shen Hanxing fell silent for a while before she massaged her temples and explained, “I didn’t mean it that way. The gift I’m talking about is Changhe Foreign Trade Company.” Changhe Foreign Trade Company was the company that Ji Yan’s aunt, Ji Mei, used to run. There had been no news after it was seized. It had only been less than a year, but it felt like a lifetime ago when it was mentioned.

Ji Qian was stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “Doesn’t that company always lose money?” When she was very young, she often heard the name of this company. Ji Mei came to her door from time to time to complain tearfully, saying that Changhe was not doing well and that they were going to lose money again and so on, asking for money every single time. The entire Ji family was Ji Yan’s. His younger brothers and sisters simply held shares and enjoyed dividends. They didn’t care how Ji Yan handled the money and didn’t think it was their money. Besides, they weren’t petty people and couldn’t be bothered to investigate Ji Mei’s ways of accumulating money. The only thing that left an impression on Ji Qian was that this foreign trading company called Changhe was a bottomless pit.

Ji Qian scratched her head. What was wrong with her brother? Couldn’t he have given his sister-in-law a gift from a more reliable company? Was big brother serious about giving his sister-in-law a company that had been seized and still kept on losing money? Ji Qian wished she could pull Ji Yan’s ear and teach him how to please his sister-in-law.

However, when she lifted her head, she saw Shen Hanxing’s gaze on the golden invitation. The smile on her face was obvious and there was no reluctance at all. She was stunned and asked Shen Hanxing, “Sister-in-law, do you like this gift?” She knew that she wasn’t very smart, especially when it came to business. The only thing good about her was that she was obedient. Her sister-in-law was a smart person. If she was happy, it meant that this company was a good gift.

!!

Ji Qian couldn’t help but be eager to try and happily started planning the future, “Sister-in-law, do you want to start a company? Changhe Foreign Trade Company seems to need a lot of money. Sister-in-law, do you have enough money? If it’s not enough, I still have a lot of money!” It was a pity that she did not have the habit of carrying a bank card with her. Otherwise, she would have slapped the bank card on the table and let her sister-in-law tell her how much to give.

At this time, Ji Yan returned from the door with his coat in his arms. After hearing half of what she said, he glanced at Ji Qian coldly. “What can you do with that little money?” Even if his wife needed money to send, it would be his money.

“Big brother!” Ji Qian’s eyes widened. She wanted to say something but didn’t dare to. She pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. Yes, she had less money than Ji Yan, but that was her feelings for her sister-in-law. It was proof of her love for her. It couldn’t be measured with money. Hmph! Big brother doesn’t know anything!

Shen Hanxing patted Ji Qian’s hand to comfort her and smiled at Ji Yan. “Mr. Ji is back.”

Ji Yan replied with a little grunt. His eyes darkened when he saw the golden invitation on the table. “Congratulations to you for having your wish come true.”

“I still have to thank Mr. Ji for your gift.” Shen Hanxing smiled back. She knew that Ji Yan must have put in a lot of effort behind her back in order to hand Changhe Foreign Trade Company to her. This matter seemed simple, but Ji Mei had previously made Changhe a mess. Under such circumstances, the higher-ups were still willing to hand the company over to her, so they must have considered it carefully. Ji Yan never took credit for what he did. He played it down as if he would easily give her everything she wanted.

“It’s good that you like it. If there’s anything you need help with, please feel free to ask,” Ji Yan’s thin lips curled up slightly. The problem of Changhe Foreign Trade Company was not simple, and it would be very troublesome to solve.

Shen Hanxing did not stand on ceremony with Ji Yan and nodded immediately. Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard from upstairs. Qiao Xi rushed down the stairs and stopped in her tracks when she saw the people in the living room. She quickly put her hands behind her back and greeted them one by one.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” Shen Hanxing looked at Qiao Xi curiously and asked, “Is there an urgent matter?” The younger brothers and sisters of the Ji family had rarely received the love and care of their elders since they were young, and they had never experienced the warmth of a family. Therefore, ever since grandma moved in, the younger brothers and sisters of the Ji family had been very dependent on her. During this period of time, Ji Zhou had been practicing in a foreign club. Today, he had given himself a break and brought his grandma out to relax.

“I… I was reading documents upstairs and forgot the time.” Qiao Xi nervously clenched her fingers and subconsciously rubbed her toes on the ground. She said dryly, “There’s soup in the kitchen. I forgot, so I wanted to go and take a look.”
